Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 352 Rune [Four]

Hu Qi didn't say anything.

But he is about 1.8 meters tall.

A whole head taller than him.

This is fundamentally different from most of the survivors in the leaf-rot gathering area who have been feeding on fungi for a long time.

He had only seen bodies of this size in the guards in the Rotten Leaf Gathering Area who ate meat almost every day.

Think of this.

The young man's eyes paused slightly, and he subconsciously revealed a bit of vigilance.

He frowned slightly and asked.

"Who is this?"

Hearing the young man's question, Lu Shan quickly looked around.

She didn't explain immediately, but just whispered.

"We'll talk after we go in."

inside the house.

The space is made up of three small containers connected and spliced ​​together, with a total of only two rooms and a kitchen.

Although the space is not large, it is still tidy.

At this time, it was raining outside, and because it was evening, the light in the house was particularly dim.

In this gathering place, there is electricity.

Hu Qi had seen this on his way here.

However, electricity is an extremely scarce resource in this backward and resource-scarce gathering place of rotten leaves.

Ordinary survivors are not eligible to enjoy it at all.

Normally, people rely on oil lamps made from burning ironwood resin for lighting.

But even so, it is considered a rare item and is rarely used.

After Lu Shan walked into the house.

Put down the wolf leg, then take out the blackthorn resin lamp and light it up.

In an instant, the orange-yellow light spread out softly, illuminating the room and dispelling some of the depression brought by the darkness.

"Sir, this is my brother Lu Hong."

Lu Shan pointed at the young man and respectfully introduced him to Hu Qi.

Then she looked at Lu Hong and said.

"This Lord Hu Qi is an evolver. I met him by chance in the wilderness."

Hearing the word "evolver", Lu Hong was stunned.

He looked Hu Qi up and down. Although the man in front of him looked strong, he found it hard to associate him with an evolver.

Could it be that my sister was deceived?

But as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he put it behind his mind.

He knew his sister's character very well, and he would never believe the other person unless he saw it with his own eyes.

It seems that the person in front of me might really be an evolver.

But what exactly does the other person want to gain by helping you?

Apart from his family, Lu Hong doesn't believe that there is any good in the world for no reason.

He understood this when he was ten years old.

"Master Hu Qi, please take a look at my brother..."

Lu Shan's voice trembled slightly.

As he said this, he was about to kneel down to Hu Qi again.

From her expression and actions, one can truly feel that she cares about her younger brother.

"okay!"

Hu Qi waved his hand to stop Lu Shan's actions.

Hu Qi's eyes fell on Lu Hong

His cheeks were sunken and his face was sallow.

He gasped from time to time, and every breath seemed to use up all his strength. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept emerging from his forehead, soaking his temples.

Not only that, there were also some rashes scattered on his body, which looked particularly shocking.

Seeing this, Hu Qi took a step forward, his figure as fast as lightning, and instantly appeared in front of Lu Hong.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Hong's wrist firmly.

Then, he closed his eyes and released a trace of energy and blood.

It spread along the arm into Lu Hong's body, carefully sensing the other's physical condition.

After a few seconds, Hu Qi opened his eyes.

There was a flash of understanding in his eyes.

"It's just that I'm running low on energy and blood, and my lungs are a bit infected. I've been ill for too long, so the situation has deteriorated to this point, but it's not difficult to cure."

As a secret warrior, Hu Qi has a very good understanding of the human body structure.

Even in this completely different world.

Through his previous introspective observations of himself, he has gained a full understanding of the human body in this world.

Of course, this is currently limited to men, and there may be slight differences in the body structure of women.

We will have a chance to learn more about this later.

What Lu Hong suffered from was just pneumonia.

In a world with normal technology, it is not difficult to cure, but in this wasteland-like apocalypse, it has become a fatal disease.

In addition, the environment where the rotten leaves gather is dirty, damp, and makes the condition even worse.

After hearing Hu Qi's words, Lu Shan and Lu Hong looked at each other.

Delight instantly welled up in Lu Shan's eyes. She had witnessed Hu Qi's magical methods with her own eyes and had no doubt about his identity as an evolver.

Lu Hong looked skeptical. The doctor at the gathering place had said something similar before, but that doctor had asserted that his condition was serious and he would not live for many days.

Even if the person in front of me is really an evolver with great power, can he really heal me?
He was full of doubts about this.

Hu Qi ignored their thoughts.

"Don't move. Don't blame me if you die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Qi's hand stretched out like a phantom, rapidly touching various parts of Lu Hong's body.

There were only a few "bang bang bang" sounds, and the speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

When he stopped, Lu Hong's body instantly froze in place, as if he was frozen in place, unable to move at all.

at the same time.

His skin quickly turned red, as if it was congested, and wisps of white smoke slowly seeped out from his pores.

Seeing this situation, Lu Shan on the side was shocked.

He wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Hu Qi, so he could only swallow his words back.

Soon, half a minute passed.

Lu Hong, who had been motionless, suddenly became limp, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Sir, my brother..."

Just as Lu Shan was about to speak, she was interrupted by Hu Qi.

"Your brother is too weak. He'll be fine once he wakes up."

Hu Qi just quickly pressed more than a dozen acupoints on Lu Hong's body, including Dingchuan, Fenglong, Chize, etc.

Most of these acupoints have the effects of relieving cough and asthma, clearing away lung heat, and belong to the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. They can regulate the body's immunity, replenish qi, and enhance the body's resistance.

Hu Qi used the power of Qi and blood to stimulate these acupuncture points, forming a circulation to treat Lu Hong's physical illness.

If he were a martial artist at this moment, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. He could easily cure Lu Hong with just a stream of qi and blood.

But now his essence and spirit are sealed, so he can only use this method.

However, although this method can cure the disease, the cost is that it consumes Lu Hong's vitality.

After this treatment, Lu Hong lost at least thirty years of his life.

Of course, there is no need to say this.

After all, if he didn't receive treatment, Lu Hong wouldn't live more than half a year under the current circumstances.

Moreover, although the theoretical lifespan of an ordinary person in this world is one hundred years.

But among the survivors at the bottom of the society, very few can live to be fifty.

Although Lu Hong lost thirty years of life, he still gained something in reality.

The essence in his body is stimulated by him, which will make his physical fitness stronger in a short period of time.

It's just like using the blood-burning skill in a game character.

Of course, in addition to this method, Hu Qi also has other milder treatments, but they take too long.

He doesn't have that much time to waste on this person.

So, he chose this quick and effective method.

Besides, there is another reason for doing this.

He needs the other person to complete his own idea.

"Thank you, sir..."

Lu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

However, the next moment, a strong wind blew in my face.

Hu Qi, who was originally two meters away, instantly appeared in front of Lu Shan.

Lu Shan's face changed slightly. The instinct she developed from long-term fighting in the wilderness made her subconsciously hug Lu Hong tightly and step back.

But compared to Hu Qi, her movements were still too slow.

Hu Qi's fingers tapped her chest three times in succession like tapping a dragonfly, and then he withdrew.

Lu Shan stood there, feeling a strange tingling sensation in her chest.

Although it was not obvious due to the red birthmark on her face, her two earlobes were quietly stained with a hint of red.

Before she could speak, Hu Qi's calm voice rang out.

“I have cured your brother, and according to our previous agreement, you should pay the price.

From now on, you and your brother need to obey my orders.

I have set a trap in your body that I must personally neutralize every month. Otherwise, within a month, you will have a heart attack and die suddenly, and so will your brother."

Although the voice was plain, it hit Lu Shan's heart like a heavy hammer, making her body shiver.

After that, Hu Qi did not stay in the room.

He turned around and walked out the door, starting to wander around the gathering place.

Lu Shan wanted to remind Hu Qi to be careful, but when she thought of Hu Qi's strength, she swallowed the words back.

……

At this time, it was already evening and the sound of rain gradually stopped.

Except for the straight gravel road in the center of the gathering place, the rest of the ground was muddy.

When people passing by saw Hu Qi's strong and muscular physique, they unconsciously revealed a look of fear in their eyes.

Although they didn't know Hu Qi, in this place where rotten leaves gathered, everyone was pale and thin, but Hu Qi was so strong that they could tell with their toes that he was not a good person.

In addition, Hu Qi did not carry any food, so no one was blind enough to provoke him. Hu Qi walked and stopped along the way, and soon he had visited the entire rotten leaf gathering area.

Of course, except for the huge manor at the innermost part.

There are armed guards guarding the place closely and no one is allowed to approach.

Some people just got a little closer and were warned by the guards with guns.

Seeing this, Hu Qi returned to Lu Shan's residence before the last ray of light in the sky disappeared.

At this time, Lu Hong had already woken up.

He looked energetic and rosy-cheeked, completely different from his previous haggard look.

"Sir, you are back!"

It can be seen that Lu Shan should have told Lu Hong the whole story.

After a short silence.

The two could only accept it and did not show too much rejection.

After all, in this wasteland world where even food and clothing are difficult to solve, being able to become a subordinate of an evolver doesn't seem too bad.

And, it has come to this.

Resistance means death, and the outcome is actually not difficult to choose.

In this regard.

Hu Qi didn't say much.

After briefly asking Lu Hong about his current situation.

Then he walked into the room where Lu Shan originally slept. The reason he chose this room was naturally because this room was cleaner than Lu Hong's slightly messy bed.

Hu Qi sat cross-legged and began to meditate to move the energy and blood in his body, and told the two not to disturb him.

Saw this scene.

The two of them had no choice but to retreat, deal with the wolf leg, and start cooking.

……

The sea of ​​Sumeru, a shallow wave belt.

In an area not far from the desolate star world.

A huge shadow swam slowly.

When you get closer, you will find that it is a spiritual creature similar to a whale.

It swung its powerful tail fin, and each swing created tiny ripples.

The pectoral fins on both sides are like huge oars, paddling constantly to help the body move forward.

As the giant fish swam, it made a low and distant sound.

And inside this giant fish there is an empty space like a bubble.

The area is large enough to accommodate a basketball court.

At this moment, a figure in white was sitting cross-legged in the bubble.

It was Hu Qi's true form.

Look forward.

A broken black flag was floating in front of him.

The face on the black banner kept distorting and making miserable, inhuman howls, as if it was being cut into pieces by thousands of swords.

"Ah... you... if you have the guts to kill me, you damned bastard, my Lord will definitely avenge me, and you will pay a heavy price for this..."

That face was actually Xi Zukasu who was previously taken into Black Banner.

At this moment, he was no longer as high and mighty as he was when they first met, like the embodiment of light.

On the contrary, he glared at Hu Qi with resentment. In addition to the strong murderous intent in his eyes, there was also a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit, but which continued to spread and deepen in his heart.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die easily. I will torture you slowly until you speak."

Hu Qi had a gentle smile on his face, but in Xizus's eyes, this smile was no different from that of the devil.

The words fell.

The black flag swayed gently, and Xizusu's human face transformed from his soul was constantly torn into pieces. Just when it was about to completely disappear, it quickly recovered.

Trapped in this strange black banner, he could neither live nor die, and could only endure the pain of his soul being torn apart over and over again.

This kind of pain is far beyond anything that can be compared to having the flesh crushed, and its severity is tens of millions times greater.

After repeating this several times, the expression on Xizusu's face gradually became numb, and his whole body's reactions became slow.

Finally, by the tenth time, his expression became completely numb, as if his intelligence had been completely worn out.

"Tell me, how did you find me? What exactly is the White King, and why does he have to exterminate the Three-Eyed Yuan Snake Clan?"

Seeing this, Hu Qi opened his mouth and asked about his doubts.

Hear the words.

A slight struggle appeared on Xizus's face.

But this struggle disappeared without a trace as the black flag shook again.

"It is a piece of three-eyed primordial snake reverse scale given by my Lord. It can sense your location. The White King is naturally my Lord..."

Half an hour later.

Accompanied by Xi Zusuo's narration.

Hu Qi also almost understood what was going on.

According to Xizhongs, the other party found Hu Qi with the help of a three-eyed snake's reverse scale.

However, this kind of induction is limited. Once you enter the world, you will be isolated and unable to detect.

As for the White King.

Xi Zusus didn't know what level he was at. The only thing he was sure of was that he was definitely a true God, and even among the true gods, he was an absolutely powerful one.

Because the three-eyed snake who became a true god died at the hands of the other party.

As for the reason, it seems that it involves the path that the White King needs to take later.

However, Xi Zusuo was not very clear about this.

To put it bluntly, his identity was just a subordinate of the other party, so naturally he didn't dare to ask about such matters.

At this time.

Hu Qi asked, not knowing what he had thought of.

"What did you mean when you said I blasphemed that authority?"

“Our Lord is the embodiment of light, and all the light in the world comes from Him.

The brilliant power hidden in you has already touched the authority of my Lord.

This usurpation will sooner or later be discovered by my Lord.

At that time, what will greet you will be the wrath of our Lord..."

At this time, Xizhongsi's eyes seemed to have regained a bit of clarity, and he stared at Hu Qi intently.

Hearing this, Hu Qi looked indifferent.

Before he could finish speaking.

next second.

The black flag fluttered.

Xizus's face was twisted, pulled, and deformed.

——Ah! Ah!

Xizukas screamed continuously, but soon, he fell into dead silence again.

"Bad bones!"

Hu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth.

But I was thinking about the content I just obtained.

The glow on his body should refer to the overlap of the power of the Sun God's spirit seed and the power of the White King.

However, he did not take the threat from Xizusus seriously at all.

Since the other party sent Xizhongsi to kill him, the two have already had a grudge.

There is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

"However, facing a true god, I am currently no match for him."

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

He casually put away the black banner.

This Xizus cannot be killed for the time being.

As one of the four archangels under the White King's throne, according to Xizus, once the other party dies, he will attract the attention of the White King.

He might even use it as an anchor to locate his position and move across space.

Therefore, Xizukas cannot be killed, at least not now.

Currently.

What he needs to do is to improve his strength as quickly as possible, accumulate enough essence, condense divinity, and become a true god.

Only in this way can we have some ability to protect ourselves when facing the White King.

Think of this.

A sense of urgency arose in Hu Qi's heart.

Afterwards, a layer of distorted light wrapped around him, and his aura was restrained to the extreme.

The bubbles and Hu Qi's figure all disappeared, as if they had merged into one with this spiritual creature.

……

A desolate planet, a gathering place of rotten leaves.

The night is deep and everything is silent.

in the room.

Hu Qi was originally sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing steady.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

There was a hint of pity in his eyes, and he murmured.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

That place where the essence of the soul was stored remained unchanged as before.

"It seems that I have to contact the extraordinary ways of this world."

Thinking of this, Hu Qi stood up and gently pushed open the door.

Although the movement was extremely light, the creaking sound of the door hinge inevitably startled the brother and sister Lu Shan and Lu Hong who lived on the other side.

Hu Qi did not explain, and the brother and sister did not dare to ask more questions.

After leaving his residence, Hu Qi looked towards a certain direction where rotten leaves gathered.

Unlike other places in the gathering place which were completely dark, there was a soft light illuminating the area.

It was the manor that I saw during the day.

next moment.

Hu Qi's figure suddenly jumped out from his original position like an agile monkey.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dark night sky.
