Desperate Night.

Chapter 49 049 Strengthening Three

负重
'The heavier the load, the greater the power'

Yu Hong carefully memorized the key points of this leg technique, stood up, began to assume the posture, and tried to train.

The training method is very simple. There are three moves in total, divided into three levels. The first move only practices low-level sweeping kicks.

It was the action of kicking someone's calf. It seemed that because it suited Yu Hong so well, he practiced it very smoothly, as if every movement was in line with his usual habitual movements.

It just requires practice when visualizing the picture.

Everything went quite smoothly afterwards. Yu Hong trained high-level physical training and the first move of leg skills every day, from morning to night. Seven days later, mushrooms grew on Li Runshan's side. The two traded some fresh mushrooms and mixed them with other foods to make soup, which tasted much more delicious. They then paused for a while.

Post office stone house, in the yard.

The sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain soon.

Yu Hong and Li Runshan stood in the yard, looking at the yellow paste that had been stirred into a muddy mass on the ground.

"It's almost done." Li Runshan put down the stick and looked at the mass with satisfaction, whispering, "The next step is to breed cockroaches. Cockroaches are very fast and lay a lot of eggs. There can be dozens of them in one egg pod, and they grow fast. I brought a lot of egg pods this time, which are just right for use."

"What's the main thing in here?" Yu Hong asked, wrinkling his nose.

"Mushroom pieces, some mosses I found, rhizomes, fruits of oily plants, and feces." Li Runshan randomly mentioned a few. "Just like growing mushrooms requires adding sawdust and other things, raising cockroaches also requires some extra things, otherwise you won't be able to raise them well if you just do it casually."

Yu Hong's face was expressionless. He had originally wanted to raise the animal himself, but now it seemed that he absolutely did not want to raise the animal himself until the single room was excavated.

"I now understand why people prefer to eat lizards," he sighed.

"Well, there is a big difference between eating shit directly and eating it indirectly." Li Runshan said with a smile.

He turned his head to look at Yu Hong and asked again.

"How have you been training recently? Pay attention to eating, drinking and sleeping. If you only train without paying attention to other things, it will hurt your body and it will be like overdrawing your body."

"It's okay. As long as I get ten hours of sleep every day and eat and drink enough, there will be absolutely no problem. But when will you teach me how to shoot with a slingshot?" Yu Hong asked.

"Wait a while, make a slingshot handle yourself first. I can give you some elastic tendons. Then practice on your own."

Li Runshan smiled and said, "Also, I plan to go to the pyroxene mine in a few days. Are you familiar with that place?"

"Not very familiar with him." Yu Hong frowned.

"Then where did you get those big pyroxenes? It's okay to fool others, but it's not so easy to fool me." Li Runshan said with a smile.

"." Yu Hong kept silent. He had now developed four cool air roots through high-level physical training. As he had only been practicing one move in his leg techniques recently, after a week of hard training, he was slowly getting the hang of it.

He practiced from morning to night, and except for eating, drinking, defecating, and going out to collect firewood, find water, and dig vegetables, he devoted all his attention to his leg techniques.

The black seal was constantly strengthening the silver talisman array. Up to now, he had four silver talisman arrays, including the one he made before, not counting the one behind the door.

A big advantage of the silver talisman array is that it can be replenished and restored after use, and will be complete again when used again.

There were even more ordinary rune arrays, and he didn't count them. He would strengthen them whenever he had time, and threw them all in the corner. Ordinary rune arrays were consumables, and they couldn't be replenished. They would be damaged after being used up, but fortunately, the strengthening time was short, and they were very good for emergency use.

"Giant pyroxene and the like are OK against strange shadows, but they are not strong enough against evil shadows. We need to accumulate them in large quantities." Yu Hong said in a deep voice.

"You're right. The main purpose of pyroxene is not to fight evil shadows. It is more of an additive and catalyst used in the production of other things. Since the discovery of the Black Disaster and the establishment of the joint organization Silver Tower a few years ago, the Sunshine series of things have become truly rare." Li Runshan's habitual smile appeared on his face again. "I will have the Sunshine series of materials in my hands soon. This is an excellent coating that can dispel ordinary blood tides and hide breath to avoid evil shadows. It can even resist evil shadows for a long time, as long as you have electricity."

"Is the Sunshine Series really that strong?" Yu Hong was a little skeptical.

"The first place the Black Scourge attacked was Hope City, and so did the Evil Shadows. There are even more monsters that are much stronger than the ordinary Blood Tide. What do you think the country relies on to survive?" Li Runshan said as a matter of course. "The things encountered in big places are much more than you think."

"By the way, when will the supply team arrive?" Yu Hong asked finally.

"This is the time notified tomorrow, but the exact time is not clear. If you have enough supplies to exchange, you can come to me. You can also exchange some food and useful tools." Li Runshan replied.

Yu Hong nodded, turned and left. He came here just to ask whether the cockroaches had been cultivated. Now that everything was going well, he felt relieved.

Quickly returning to the safe house cave, he practiced leg techniques and high-level body techniques for a while, then began to choose new things to strengthen.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, he took a saw and an axe and began to make some new thick wooden boards little by little.

These wooden boards are not used to make talisman arrays, but are prepared to be made into barrel-shaped full-body protective equipment.

He couldn't make a cylinder, so it would be easier to just find a ready-made big tree and cut it down.

But this thing is too difficult to make, and he tried several times and it was easy to break. So, if there is a supply team tomorrow, he plans to try to use other things to exchange for equivalent bulletproof vests and other suits.

After doing some carpentry work for a while, Yu Hong returned to the cave and confirmed that the talisman array had been strengthened once again, and there was one more ordinary talisman array.

Then, he took out the things that he could still strengthen one by one, and put the most important ones in the front.

Solar generator, dagger, pistol, boots.

Putting these things in front of him, Yu Hong took out the boots first. These were Jenny's ladies' boots. He didn't know who wore them. They were waterproof boots made of solid leather.

Then I looked at the dagger, the boots and the dagger together.
Yu Hong had some ideas in his mind.

He took both aside and held them down with his hands.

'Strengthen the spiked boots I can wear, directions.'

The long boots with sharp knives sticking out of the feet in the martial arts movies he had watched before came to his mind.

Soon, Black Seal gave feedback.

'Do you want to strengthen the spiked boots?'

Generally, this feedback means that the black seal can be strengthened, not that it is incomplete.

Yu Hong felt relieved and looked at the countdown on his boots: 1:3 on the 05st.

"The time is good." He confirmed the feedback from the black seal in his heart. The countdown started immediately, and the boots and dagger flashed, and numbers appeared on the surface.

"It seems that things that are put together and placed together can also be strengthened by the black seal synthesis. This is an additional synthesis function."

Yu Hong seemed to be thinking about something.

"If you combine them, they will have many uses."

After sleeping for a while in the cave, he got up and started practicing his leg techniques again.

He gave this enhanced leg technique a fitting name - Heavy Leg Skill.

The name is easy to understand and also reflects the key points.

For a moment, in the cave, Yu Hong kept sweeping his left and right legs forward, visualizing the pattern in the manual in his mind, and controlling the cool air in his body to flow along the meridians and blood vessels in the diagram.

Yu Hong was not very proficient at the beginning, but now, after practicing for a whole week, he can coordinate the movements easily.

This set of leg skills was designed entirely according to his physical and mental state, and the progress was very brisk.

By now, he could vaguely feel that the fifth cool air in his body was slowly condensing, and it would probably not take long for it to be successfully gathered.

After a while, Yu Hong stopped to eat and started chiseling stones again.

When it got dark, he continued to practice his heavy leg exercises.

'The first move of the heavy leg skill, which is also the first level, needs to be practiced to the point where you can mobilize the cool air at any time and use it instantly. At the same time, the meridian map must also be fully coordinated and activated before and after the leg is kicked.'

The fire was lit, and Yu Hong stood in the cave with his upper body naked, thinking carefully.

After standing there for about five minutes, he suddenly swung his right leg and kicked forward diagonally.

Swish!
It was as if there was someone in front of him, and he was kicked on the outside of his calf.

This low sweep was normal, with the speed and strength being just at the level of an average male.

Then Yu Hong retracted his leg and swept forward again.

puff.

This time, his eyes were empty, and a thin line bulged along the skin of his abdomen and quickly flowed into his right leg.

This time, the low sweep was much faster than before, and it also brought out a slight wind sound.

"The power and speed are much greater. This is driven by one strand of cool air. Now let's try two strands of cool air."

Yu Hong closed his eyes and tried the kick again.

After staying still for a few minutes, he suddenly swept his right leg forward.

puff! !

This time, a muffled sound was heard in the cave, which was much louder than the previous time.

The sound of breaking through the air was also much louder than before.

Yu Hong opened his eyes, looking a little tired.

"Two cool air drives are indeed much more powerful, but you have to concentrate hard to use them. They are far less convenient to use than one cool air drive."

He tried a third time, using one last breath of cool air to drive his leg power.

Swish!
This time it was still much faster than the first time.

But this time, all four of the cool air in his body were used up. It would take at least half a day to condense and recover.

"It's being consumed too quickly. We can go out and test its power tomorrow."

Yu Hong's gaze fell on the boots that were being strengthened, with some anticipation in his eyes.

After a peaceful sleep at night, he got up early the next morning and went to the stone house of the post office to check on the supply team.

Before I got there, I saw from afar a middle-aged man with a big backpack chatting with Li Runshan in front of the stone house.

The man had a full beard and messy hair. He was slightly thinner than Li, but he exuded an inexplicable sense of efficiency.

He stood alone outside the fence, several meters away from Li Runshan, keeping a relatively safe distance.

Seeing Yu Hong coming, Li Runshan was the first to wave to him enthusiastically.

"Xiao Yu, come quickly, this is Lao Zhou. He came here with the supply team and plans to settle here."

Lao Zhou?

Yu Hong nodded and his eyes fell on Old Zhou.

"Hello. I'm Yu Hong, the pyroxene supplier around here. If you need any, you can come and trade pyroxene with me."

He defined himself as a pyroxene manufacturer. Ever since Li Runshan found problems with his protein bar last time, he became more cautious and did not dare to sell his own enhanced products. If he sold a few, he could say that he was lucky to find the stock, but if he sold more, it would be troublesome.

On the contrary, the enhanced pyroxene can be ground into powder and used to make ordinary talismans, and then it will be safer to sell them.

After all, grinding pyroxene into powder and then drawing it into a talisman array is something that many people can do. The difference is that it is a consumable and requires time and energy to make, and what you do yourself may not be better than what others do.

"As long as my talisman array is slightly more effective than others, I can keep my business stable and flowing in."

Yu Hong had a plan in mind.

Simply selling the Great Pyroxene is too wasteful, the Talisman Array is much more convenient. It is light in weight and has a better effect.
