Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 350 Runes [Part 6] (k chapter)

This is a young woman who is probably in her twenties.

He was carrying a worn black backpack on his back.

He was wearing a grayish-white camouflage jacket with some dirt on it.

On the left chest of the jacket, there is a black patch logo with some special symbols similar to leaves outlined in white lines.

Wearing a hood, wrapping himself tightly.

Only a pair of black and white eyes were exposed. A few strands of hair slipped from the brim of the hat and stuck to the cheeks.

There is a particularly eye-catching red birthmark on the face, which is distorted in shape and looks like a hideous scar.

She was holding a sharp dagger in her hand. After she appeared, she said nothing and just stared at Hu Qi with a wary look.

"Where is this place? How far is the nearest human settlement from here?"

Hu Qi asked casually without paying attention to the woman's wary look.

Hearing this, Lu Shan was silent for a moment, thinking about the scene where the other party had just appeared.

He opened his mouth anyway, his voice coming out through a simple breathing filter.

"This is Blackthorn Ridge. The nearest gathering place is the Rotten Leaf Territory, ten kilometers away."

As she spoke, she pointed in a direction.

"Take me there, and this dead wolf will be yours."

Hu Qi kicked the dead long-eared wolf at his feet.

Lu Shan looked conflicted, but it soon disappeared.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

After obtaining Hu Qi's consent,

Lu Shan deftly put the dagger back into the scabbard tied to her leg, and took a few steps to the long-eared gray wolf that had turned into a corpse.

Then she leaned forward and exerted her strength.

He actually lifted up the long-eared gray wolf weighing nearly three hundred pounds and placed it steadily on his shoulders.

But it seems a bit strenuous.

In this case.

Hu Qi looked calm, and did not behave in a gentlemanly manner, wanting to help.

The human body in this world seems to be stronger than that in the previous two worlds.

But it's also limited.

And, to put it bluntly, the body he occupied was just that of an ordinary person.

The previous series of measures.

All of this was done with the help of that broken black flag.

If it weren't for the existence of the broken black banner.

His clone might not be able to escape from that place at all.

Think back to the previous situation.

A strange look flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

After he failed in his attempt to break through the ban of this world and attack Xizus.

This world completely isolated him from entering.

He did not give up on this.

There is no way he would let that bastard Xi Zusuo go.

He directly separated a wisp of his essence and descended to take over the body of a survivor near Xizhongs.

Then killed the other person.

Originally, he was planning to let this wisp of his essential clone kill the body that Xizus had taken over.

The main body is blocked outside the world, waiting for the other party to fall into the trap.

But what Hu Qi didn't expect was.

The broken black flag obtained from the previous world could actually be used.

The power of this broken black banner is to control spirits and control all spiritual creatures.

It can be said to be extremely powerful.

This strand of his essence can be seen as a strand of soul separated from his body.

Nature is also inextricably linked to the ontology.

therefore.

He can summon this broken black flag through the spiritual world.

However, what surprised Hu Qi was.

According to common sense, the world's will will instinctively reject the entry of all external forces.

Unless it transforms into soul light and is reborn in another body, or has the three-eyed primordial snake's talent of twisted light, it can hide and isolate itself from the world's will.

However, once they use their own power, they will be targeted and suppressed by the world's will. In serious cases, they will even be forcibly eliminated and killed by the world.

Unless you do nothing.

However, after this broken black banner was summoned, there was no suppression in its use.

The world will itself did not react at all.

It was as if he couldn't even notice it.

But how is this possible?

The world will is the real manager of the world.

It can even make the world move in the direction of the general script it has planned.

If any problem arises, intervention can be made.

But now this kind of thing is really happening.

There is obviously only one possible reason for this to happen.

It’s because of the special nature of this black flag.

This thing is not simple.

Although Hu Qi successfully refined the broken black flag, the origin of this black flag was unknown.

It remains a mystery to him.

Perhaps when we manage to repair it in the future, we can get some useful information from it.

However, at the current repair speed, this will take an extremely long time.

After putting Xizus into the broken black banner.

Hu Qi temporarily changed his mind.

The world is powerful.

Based on the situation that his original body sensed when he forcibly broke through the boundary before.

There are many apostle-level auras in this world.

Although most of them can only barely reach the early stage of apostle level.

But it’s also extremely terrifying.

In the previous nightmare world, there was not even a single apostle-level person.

And the worlds he had seen along the way were only at the spiritual level at the highest.

Perhaps the 'Xin' hidden in the black banner counts as half.

Comparing the two, it is clear which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

He is very interested in this world.

Now that he was here, he planned to let this clone collect the extraordinary systems of this world and condense a spirit seed.

However, the methods of the White King, who is suspected to be the true God, are unknown.

Just to be on the safe side.

It is not ruled out that the other party may find this place by following Xizhongs coordinates.

Although the possibility is small, we still have to take precautions.

Therefore, his real body did not enter this world.

Instead, it was hiding in the body of a spiritual creature in the Sumeru Sea, which is far away from this world.

By doing this, even if the White King comes looking for us at that time.

He would not be trapped in that world with no way out.

At most a trace of essence will be lost.

Although this world is powerful, Hu Qi has no hope that it can withstand the power of the true God.

The two of them walked away one after the other.

As far as the eye can see, there are wilderness and hills on both sides. Because of the rain, the road is muddy and not easy to walk on.

In addition, after walking for a while, Lu Shan needed to sit down and rest.

Therefore, the speed is not very fast.

Ten kilometers of road.

The two of them had just reached about halfway.

suddenly.

A loud bang exploded in the sky!
A blinding red zigzag lightning spread wildly across the inky sky like a ferocious giant python, tearing a bloody hole in the dark sky.

Then, it was as if a river in the sky burst its banks.

The originally drizzling rain suddenly poured down after being urged by the lightning.

The already rugged mountain roads in the wilderness Gobi were instantly ravaged by the rain.

The mud rolled and surged with the rushing water.
The footprints of the two people of varying depths were quickly submerged, forming muddy puddles.

The strong wind brought raindrops, lashing the ground, splashing layers of mud, and the whole picture was filled with chaos and gloom.

An atmosphere of desolation and coldness permeated the air.

buzzing...

Suddenly, a dull and suppressed humming sound abruptly sounded amid the noise of the rainstorm.

The voice, with a heart-pounding aura, instantly penetrated the noisy sound of the pouring rain and drilled into the ears.

Following the sound, I saw the distant sky whose boundaries were blurred by the heavy rain.

A large black shadow was whizzing past, flapping its wings at an eerie and swift speed.

The dark shadow seemed to be unaffected by the heavy rain.

When the black shadows gradually approached, I suddenly realized that they were actually black mosquitoes the size of fists.

They are shiny black all over.

The slender mouthparts were like poisonous needles, ready to pierce the skin of its prey at any time and greedily suck its blood.

Six long, thin legs were curled up tightly.

Under the impact of the heavy rain, there was no sign of being knocked down by the rain.

Their wings are broad and powerful, flapping rapidly at an extraordinary frequency. Each flap brings up a strong airflow, which bounces away the surrounding raindrops.

The two blood-red compound eyes looked ferocious and bloodthirsty against the backdrop of the heavy rain.

At first glance, the dense red dots make your scalp tingle.

At this moment, he was scanning the ground, as if looking for traces of prey.

"It's a blood mosquito!"

See this.

Lu Shan's pupils suddenly shrank.

The blood mosquito is also a kind of wild beast, but it often appears in groups and is more threatening than the long-eared wolf.

A few of them can suck an adult dry.

Not to mention there are so many now.

In this situation, it is obviously not suitable to continue.

The two chose a nearby cave to take shelter from the rain.

After entering, each person chooses a dry surface to sit down.

Lu Shan took out a black dough-like substance from the backpack behind her and lit it with fire.

Suddenly, an orange flame ignited from above.

At the same time, there is a fresh scent of grass and trees wafting from it.

It makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

The cave also became a little warmer because of the fire.

It seemed that he noticed Hu Qi's gaze.

Lu Shan began to explain.

“This is the resin we extracted from a tree called the black wattle at our leaf rot gathering place.

This resin can be burned and used as a lighting material. It is very long-lasting and the smell it emits has a refreshing effect on the brain. "

Hear the words.

Hutch just nodded.

"Tell me about the details of the rotten leaves gathering place."

Regarding Hu Qi’s question.

Because of the other party's strange methods, plus the vague guesses in my heart.

Lu Shan did not hide anything and told him everything.

This also gave Hu Qi a general understanding of the place he was going to.

The rotten leaf gathering place is a small gathering place with more than 3,000 people.

That’s why it’s called this name.

Because of its unique environment, it is possible to grow special fungi using humus and fertile soil for consumption.

Although this method can fill your stomach, long-term consumption of fungal food will have an impact on your body.

Therefore, after a period of time, everyone must consume a certain amount of meat in order to maintain good health.

Good health is the capital of everything. Once there is a problem, in this environment, it may very likely mean death.

And the Lu Shan in front of him came out hunting for this very reason.

People like her have another name in this world.

Scavenger.

Speaking of which.

We have to mention the general situation of this world.

This devastated world is called Desolate Planet.

It is a wasteland world similar to that after a doomsday catastrophe, where decay and desolation spread to every inch of land.

As for why it turned out like this.

Because it's been too long.

There is no record of this in the memory of this body.

Lu Shan in front of him didn't know either.

The only thing that is certain is that the environment in this world is extremely harsh.

Some of them look like post-apocalyptic wastelands that have experienced nuclear radiation.

Some animals have undergone significant mutations in this environment.

The long-eared wolf that Hu Qi had killed before was one of them.

However, people here call it a wild beast.

After he finished explaining the situation in general, he seemed to be very easy to talk to.

At this time, Lu Shan didn't know what she was thinking of.

He asked tentatively with a hesitant tone.

"Sir, are you an Evolver?"

Hear the words.

Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.

Said casually.

"That's pretty much it."

The so-called evolvers.

It is an extraordinary path that belongs only to this world.

Possessing powers far beyond those of ordinary people.

about this point.

He already knew this when he took over this body.

However, the person who took over the body was just an ordinary person, and could even be considered a slave in the steel city.

Hu Qi only had a vague understanding of the specific information about this evolver.

The reason why all the human beings in this world gather together in gathering places.

Except humans because they are social animals.

There is another reason.

That is in this world, except for humans.

There are also creatures like wild beasts.

The long-eared wolf is just the lowest level of wild beast among them.

It is rumored that some powerful wild beasts have terrifying strength that can easily tear steel, and the skin and scales on their bodies can make them immune to artillery bombardment.

There are even some more terrifying wild beasts that are like moving natural disasters.

Once ordinary people encounter it.

There is no possibility of survival at all.

Only those equipped with firearms or with gatherings of evolvers can have some ability to resist.

This is also the reason why Hu Qi went to the gathering place.

He needed to learn more about this extraordinary path of the Evolver.

On the side, after listening to what Hu Qi said.

Lu Shan looked conflicted, then she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.

He knelt directly in front of Hu Qi.

"Sir, could you please save my brother? I can pay any price I can afford."

As she said this, she kowtowed three times on the ground.

When he raised his head, a dark mark appeared on his forehead.

Faced with this situation, Hu Qi just looked at her deeply.

This is what he said lightly.

"Tell me what's going on first."

Subsequently.

According to Lu Shan's explanation, his younger brother was suffering from some extremely serious illness.

Under such circumstances, I also asked a traveling doctor from the gathering place to see me.

It is said that medication is needed.

But the other party had no choice.

After all, according to Lu Shan, there were only more than 3,000 people in their gathering place.

It looks like a lot of them, but on this desolate planet, they can only be considered the smallest gathering place.

Medicines are a scarce commodity and we simply don't have the ability to produce them.

Such factories are often only found in medium and large gathering places.

Therefore, there are only two ways to save his brother.

Or go to large gathering places to buy medicine and receive treatment.

Or else ask the evolvers to take action.

But neither of these two options is possible for Lu Shan.

The first one is to go to large gathering places, according to Lu Shan.

A large gathering place closest to the rotten leaves gathering place.

They are all more than a hundred kilometers away.

Not to mention the time wasted going back and forth and whether she could afford the medicine, the wild beasts she might encounter along the way would be enough to be fatal.

The second one is even more impossible.

Although there are evolvers in their gathering place of rotten leaves, their status is high.

Belongs to the real leader.

She was just an ordinary survivor in the gathering place, with almost nothing that could impress others.

It is naturally impossible for the other party to save a dying person.

Facing Lu Shan’s request.

Hu Qi didn't know what he was thinking of.

Didn't refuse immediately.

But the Tao.

"We'll talk about this when we get there and see your brother."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Lu Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned. She was already prepared to be rejected.

After all, the evolvers are all high and mighty and would never care about the lives of ordinary people.

How could she be willing to save her brother?

She had no other choice but to try.

Unexpectedly, Hu Qi did not refuse directly.

This gave her a glimmer of hope.

Hu Qi did not care much about this.

I looked outside the cave where it was still raining heavily.

After telling the other party not to disturb him.

Hu Qi sat cross-legged on one side and closed his eyes slightly.

Look inward and observe the state of this body.

This body is slightly different from the previous two worlds.

However, the only thing in common is the existence of qi, blood, essence and spirit.

Qi, blood and essence are the source of all living things.

The two are closely related.

It is normal for this to happen.

Unless he takes over another body and becomes a metal life, silicon-based life, information life, etc., perhaps there will be no such thing.

Of course, this body merely houses the essence and spirit.

Qi channels and the divine treasure of the heart of heaven do not exist.

However, this was enough for him.

Soon, more than an hour passed.

Outside the cave, it was raining heavily and the sound of water was constantly flowing, but it was smaller than before.

Lu Shan sat on one side with the corpse of the long-eared wolf beside her. She looked outside the cave from time to time, and occasionally turned her head to look at Hu Qi beside her.

As time passed, the sky became darker.

As things stand, night is approaching.

The wilderness at night is extremely dangerous for humans.

Because most wild beasts like to hunt at night.

So, in general.

Scavengers who go out to the gathering place should try to return to the gathering place before dark.

The mortality rate is too high if you stay outside, and you will easily turn into the feces of those wild beasts.

Think about this.

Lu Shan looked to the side at Hu Qi.

However, because the other party asked her not to disturb him, she did not dare to speak rashly for a moment.

Hu Qi didn't care much about Lu Shan's behavior.

At this moment, he had stood up and stood aside.

Assume a special standing posture.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, feet slightly turned inward, rooted to the ground.

The knees are bent about 130 degrees, like a monkey sitting on a branch, ready to go.

Lengthen your spine, let your arms hang naturally, and lightly touch the outside of your thighs with your fingertips.

Then he slowly raised it to his chest, with his palms facing each other, as if he was holding a ball, or like a monkey protecting a fruit.

At the same time, he breathed rhythmically.

When you inhale, the abdomen retracts, the diaphragm lifts, and the chest cavity expands.

When you exhale, the abdomen bulges outward, the diaphragm sinks, and the breath is slowly exhaled.

Imagine that the bad air is expelled from the body with exhalation.

With every breath he took, a heat seemed to rise from his body, and his skin actually turned red.

at the same time.

His eyes fell on a translucent scarlet panel in front of him that only he could see.

【Owner: Hu Qi (Lin Yi)】

【Status: Normal】

【Age:20】

[Talent: Soul Devouring, Distorted Light (Law of Heaven and Earth), Yuan Eye (Red Sun Prison)]

[Skill: Spiritual Ape Post (Beginner)△]

……

[Modified value: 73658 (7%)]

Lin Yi is the name of this body.

In the talent column, currently only the Soul Devouring talent is lit, while the other two are slightly dim.

Having had experiences in the previous world, Hu Qi naturally understood what was going on.

The talent has not disappeared, but the power of this body is too weak to display it.

Once you become stronger, they will be unlocked one by one.

Besides.

The modified value column has been reduced compared to before.

This is because in order to break through the ban on this world, his original body burned some spirit seeds for the purpose of repairing itself.

If it wasn't for that palm that killed some extraordinary people and replenished some of the consumption.

The modified value will be less.

Afterwards, he used the broken black flag to heal the body and consumed some of the damage.

But for now, these modified values ​​are enough for him.

His eyes fell on the only skill.

This Spirit Ape Stake was naturally chosen by him based on his deduction of this body.

A normal secret warrior, no matter how talented he is, needs several days to adapt to the basics.

But that doesn't include Hu Qi.

Although this is only a glimpse of his essence.

But it is still at the Apostle level.

In addition, it was because two spiritual seeds were absorbed in the previous world.

His foundation is stronger than before.

Even if it is just a wisp of essence, the power contained in it is extremely strong.

The control of every aspect of the body is meticulous, therefore, in addition to the deduction of the standing meditation.

It only took less than half an hour to successfully master this kind of standing meditation.

"Scarlet! Modify and improve the Spirit Ape Posture to perfection!"

The words fell.

Instantly reduce the modification value by fifteen points.

at the same time.

The warm current in the body suddenly increased in strength, from the thickness of a hair to the thickness of a thumb.

Finally, it twisted and gathered in the chest, turning into a huge blood ball.

【Spiritual Ape Pillar: (9th level)】

……

Modified value: 73643 (7%)]

A wisp of mist was rising from the surface of Hu Qi's body, and his figure became thinner.

A sense of fullness and power rises within the body.

at the same time.

A huge feeling of hunger came out of nowhere without any warning.

Obviously, raising the standing meditation to perfection all at once would be a huge drain on this body.

If energy cannot be replenished in time, this body may be completely drained.

In this case.

Hu Qi had expected this.

I used ten modification points again to restore my status.

Suddenly.

The feeling of hunger in my body is gone.

The body, which had originally become thin due to the draining of qi and blood, now became a little fuller.

--call!

Hu Qi let out a long breath.

His eyes slightly opened, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

"Huh? The essence of this world cannot be opened."
