No taboos

Chapter 28 Old Year's Grain

Xu Yuan also collected the weapons of the two martial artists and tied them behind him with a cloth strip.

The rest was some loose change, which Xu Yuan also collected.

Finally, there was one thing left, which was searched from the martial artist with a short spear - this martial artist was the one who had carried the banner before.

A wooden bowl with a lid and some old rice in it!
The amount was about three times what the stepmother gave her.

As soon as the lid was opened, Xu Yuan felt that the instinct that had been suppressed in his body surged up even more violently, completely out of control!
Xu Yuan swallowed all the "old year's grain" in one gulp.

These old rices must be very precious. Xu Yuan wanted to eat them, but his body was out of his control at this time, and these old rices were quickly digested after entering his stomach.

A special power then spread into every part of his body.

The power of life cultivators has been greatly enhanced!

At the same time, Xu Yuan also gained a little more enlightenment. The "June worm" he had eaten a long time ago was only completely digested at this time.

The life-cultivating qualities contained in the June Bug are completely integrated with itself.

Unknowingly, Xu Yuan condensed a second "fate" and was promoted to the eighth level in the field of fate cultivation!
This surprised Xu Yuan greatly. It was difficult for a life cultivator to advance in the early stages, which was something his father and stepmother had repeatedly emphasized to him.

But it has only been a few days since I ate the June bug, and I have already condensed my second destiny and been promoted to the eighth level?

These old rice...are so precious?!

Of course, Xu Yuan had no idea how huge a price Pingtian would pay to get this little bit of old year's grain.

The old year's grain is bait for Juneworms, and for life cultivators, it is one of the only few spiritual foods that can be eaten.

The second fate is called "Eight Directions of Injury".

Xu Yuan briefly pondered this second destiny, and after gaining some understanding of its effectiveness, he felt a little regretful: "What a pity, I can't condense the power of the destiny into destiny magic. Otherwise..."

Shaking his head, Xu Yuan saw that it was getting late and decided not to delay any longer.

In the end, Xu Yuan did not ask the sisters where they could spend the night in the mountains.

They said that Xu Yuan really didn't dare to live there.

It would be better to rely on the speed of calligraphy and try to get back to town before nightfall.

Xu Yuan didn't bother to chase after the Saint Lady and the maid, and rushed out of the mountain quickly.

The effects of the "Tengyun" and "Chengfeng" calligraphy on the legs are still there, and the speed is extremely fast.

In the middle of the process, one set of calligraphy was exhausted and I changed to another one.

Xu Yuan ran frantically for an hour, sweating all over, but when he was still seven or eight miles away from the town, it was still dark!
At this moment, the vast yellow earth suddenly fell into a moment of deathly silence.

It was as if the good god and the evil god handed over the authority to dominate the world, and at the same time announced that the time for living things on earth had ended, and would usher in a time dominated by evil and weirdness.

Xu Yuan heard rustling sounds coming from all directions, near and far, and they quickly and accurately targeted him!
Apparently, no night travel is allowed today.

This is not surprising, as night travel is prohibited for more than half of the time in a month.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a bird of prey flying through the air above Xu Yuan's head. Xu Yuan looked up and everything suddenly became quiet again.

Above my head, there was only darkness as thick as a black cloth!

Xu Yuan was puzzled, but did not dare to be careless. He stared at the night sky - suddenly, the darkness seemed to be torn open at a rapid speed, and a skeleton-faced eagle suddenly appeared above his head. The huge bone claws suddenly grabbed Xu Yuan's face, trying to tear off his entire skin and cover his own face!

Xu Yuan remained calm and unhurried, letting out the fire in his belly.

The eagle with a white skeleton face retreated into the darkness at an even faster speed, as if it had never appeared at all. No one knew whether the fire in its belly had burned it.

Xu Yuan continued on his way, his feet moving with great speed, but he was extremely alert to his surroundings. It was pitch dark, but Xu Yuan knew that the eagle with a human face must be hiding in the darkness.

Relying on his own perception, Xu Yuan ran towards the town.

After running for several miles, the skeleton-faced eagle still did not appear. Xu Yuan was secretly surprised: Just because you think I'm not easy to mess with, you give up?
Or... is there some other conspiracy?
Xu Yuan chose to believe the latter.

After running for a while, Xu Yuan suddenly stopped and listened carefully.

The sound of the wind caused by my running just now seemed to cover up some unusual sounds.

When I listened, there were indeed some sounds of flapping wings, coming from afar and approaching.

"Let's go!" Xu Yuan said to himself and was about to raise his foot when he heard something wrong. This kind of sound came from all directions!
"Whoohoo-"

The darkness was torn apart once again, and eagles with white bones and human faces swooped down from all directions at the same time!

Xu Yuan let out a strange cry and ran quickly along the ground like a cat.

At the same time, Xu Yuan spat twice on his palms, and the fire in his stomach ignited on his hands. Xu Yuan ran wildly while waving his hands wildly.

Eagles with skeleton faces swooped down from all directions, their sharp claws leaving deep bloody grooves on Xu Yuan's arms, but he didn't have time to hold on tight before being driven away by the flames.

Xu Yuan ran wildly for several miles and saw a few scattered lights in front of him.

The town is coming!

Xu Yuan cheered up.

The eagles with white skeleton faces suddenly stopped attacking, croaked a few times, and then soared into the darkness like thick fog, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of great danger in his heart!
In the dark, the only evil spirits that can be driven away are stronger ones!

Xu Yuan didn't dare to stop and rushed to the town as fast as he could.

The sound of rushing water was heard, and a small river appeared dozens of feet to Xu Yuan's left!
No matter how Xu Yuan accelerated or changed direction, the river always maintained the same direction and the same distance!

Moreover, Xu Yuan discovered that even though he had run for several miles, the distance between him and those lights did not change at all!

Cold sweat immediately broke out from his forehead.

"What is that?" Xu Yuan shouted, holding a short spear in one hand and a single sword in the other. The flames on his hands became more intense, and he moved towards the river step by step.

"Giggle!"

A burst of innocent laughter from a child was heard, and a dead baby, swollen and pale all over, crawled out of the stream!
The corpse baby suddenly raised its head and looked at Xu Yuan.

The eyeballs were a creepy pale color!

Xu Yuan's whole body stiffened and he fell to the ground. The flames in his hands went out and he kept twitching.

The ghost energy in the wound on the back was detonated!
This corpse baby has a special ability that allows it to forcibly control the power of all ghosts and zombies within a certain range.

"Hehehe!" The corpse baby's laughter became louder, as if it had just played a very interesting game.

Ghostly energy rose from the wound on Xu Yuan's back, twisting strangely like mucus, and rapidly invading the healthy tissue around the wound.

Xu Yuan felt a cold force approaching his heart!

　There are also nights.

　　Please give me a monthly ticket.
