I can equip strange items

Chapter 71 Practicing the Sword

Wow, it actually has this effect? ​​I never noticed it before.

The main reason is that I've never suffered such a serious injury before, so I've never had the chance to experience it.

Li Yuan dragged his charred body and staggered down the mountain.

With each step he took, his charred skin would tear open new wounds, oozing pale yellow tissue fluid.

The intense pain came in waves, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Because the thunderclouds overhead were still churning, and another bolt of lightning could strike at any moment.

He doesn't want to go through that again.

That bolt of lightning just now almost killed him.

Following the mountain path they had come from, Li Yuan quickly returned to the rock halfway up the mountain.

The backpack is still there.

The flowerpot containing the scorching grass was also intact.

The phone and other items are still there.

Luckily, I had the foresight to do this, otherwise I would be in real trouble now.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But he soon realized a new problem—he was completely naked.

The lightning bolt just now turned his clothes to ashes, leaving not even his shoes behind.

Although it's a desolate wilderness with no one around, you can't just keep running around naked.

Moreover, there were no spare clothes in the backpack.

However, now is not the time to think about that. His injuries have not yet healed, and he needs to find a safe place to rest first.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and continued down the mountain.

His movements were much slower than when he arrived, and every step he took aggravated the wounds all over his body.

Fortunately, the effect of the "night owl" tag is still going strong.

Based on the description, this entry only increases mental resistance and recovery ability at night.

He had never known that this term would have such a strong additional effect.

It seems we really can't underestimate any green-themed entry.

At this moment, that gentle energy flowed through his body, repairing the tissues damaged by the lightning.

He could clearly feel that new skin was growing rapidly beneath the charred skin.

The severed capillaries reconnected.

The damaged internal organs are also recovering at an astonishing rate.

This recovery speed is faster than I expected.

Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

He had never suffered such a serious injury before, nor had he ever had the chance to experience the recovery effect of the "Master of Staying Up All Night" statistic when he was seriously injured.

It now appears that this skill is not just a temporary boost to strength; it also plays an extremely powerful role in injury recovery.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Li Yuan finally reached the foot of the mountain.

Looking back, Yunwu Mountain was still shrouded in gray-black clouds, with flashes of lightning and booming thunder.

He took a deep look at the mountain, then turned around and continued down the dirt road he had come from.

After walking for about ten more minutes, Li Yuan found a relatively secluded patch of grass by the roadside.

There was a huge rock behind the bushes, which could perfectly block the view.

He walked over, put down his backpack, and then plopped down on a rock to carefully examine his injuries.

"Um----"

"It is indeed getting better."

He looked down at his arm.

The charred and cracked skin has now mostly peeled off, revealing the newly grown tender red skin underneath.

At this rate, it should be fully recovered in a few more hours.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the backpack, and checked its contents.

The scorpion was intact, and the scorpion's venom sac and carapace were still there.

There was still some food left, but the water was all gone.

We need to find a place to replenish our fresh water supply.

As for food, he hadn't had time to grab the giant scorpion's meat because he was running too fast, but he wouldn't dare eat the meat of that kind of monster anyway.

However, there should be wild animals in this forest, so food shouldn't be a major concern.

Li Yuan pondered this in his heart, but now was not the time to leave.

I'm completely naked; I can't just run around like this.

I have to wait until my injuries heal to the point where I can wear clothes, and then I'll figure out how to get some clothes.

He glanced at his wounds and decided to rest there for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan took out the incomplete Heart of Life from his backpack.

The Thunder Scepter has now been used up, the seventh attribute has been successfully solidified, and the eighth equipment slot has been opened.

He then directly equipped the incomplete Heart of Life into his eighth equipment slot.

[Current Equipment: Fragmented Heart of Life]

[Temporary term obtained: Temporary Symbiosis (Green)]

[Permanent fixation condition: Maintain equipment status and stay in the forest for 100 hours (0/100)]

This place happens to be a forest, so it's a good place to while away some time.

The fact that he had no clothes made him very embarrassed.

I just hope that a few strangers won't suddenly appear.

It doesn't matter if they are just strangers, the key is that acquaintances cannot be present.

However, Li Yuan felt that with his current perception abilities, it was unlikely that an ordinary person could approach him silently.

By this time, it was completely dark.

Since we can't leave for the time being, let's practice our swordsmanship.

Li Yuan picked up the bamboo stick at his feet and pulled out the bamboo knife inside.

The blade gleamed faintly in the dim light.

After an afternoon of enhancement, the knife appeared to be even sharper than before.

However, it could just be an illusion, mainly because there's not much here to test sharpness.

With his current strength, he could easily cleave steel in two with a single stroke.

Ordinary trees or rocks are simply not sufficient for the test.

As for the scorpion's carapace—forget about it, it's not worth ruining the blade for nothing.

In any case, the existing sharpness won't change much.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind—

Li Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword, closed his eyes, and actively activated the [Listen to the Blade] skill.

In an instant, his hearing seemed to suddenly become exceptionally acute.

He could hear sounds not only from the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of insects, but also from inside the blade.

It was an extremely subtle vibration, like the hum of metal vibrating at high speed, yet somewhat different.

The sound seemed to be describing the state of the bamboo knife, its internal structure, stress distribution, and every tiny defect.

Li Yuan listened carefully, then flicked his wrist, the blade drawing an arc in the air.

"Buzz—"

The blade emitted a low, soft hum.

"That voice—"

Li Yuan frowned slightly, sensing something unusual.

Such a subtle problem would be impossible for an ordinary person to notice.

But under the "Listen to the Blade" entry, it's as if he's having a conversation with the blade.

It can "hear" its dissatisfaction, "hear" its flaws, and "hear" what kind of adjustments it needs.

interesting."

Li Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the bamboo knife in his hand, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Although he had used the term "listening to the blade" before, he rarely used it to practice swordsmanship.

Now that we have some free time, why not take this opportunity to practice properly?

Thinking of this, he looked at the injuries on his body.

Although he has not fully recovered, at least his mobility is no longer a problem.

It won't affect your sword practice, but it will definitely hurt during the practice.

But this pain is nothing compared to the moment I was struck by lightning.

Li Yuan stood up, took the bamboo knife, walked to the open space next to the rock, took a deep breath, and began to slowly draw his knife.

"call"

The blade sliced ​​through the air, making a low, guttural sound.

He closed his eyes and listened intently to the vibrations emanating from the blade.

In that instant, the world seemed to fall silent.

Only the sound of a knife remained.
