Chapter 108: Survival of the Fittest, Ten Thousand Monsters Practice Gu [4000 words, please read on]

"This is……"

Deep in the cold pond.

A unicorn bird with a body colored dark jade was suspended at the bottom of the water, with a pair of dark jade feet stepping on the rocks at the bottom of the pool, staring blankly at the erupting cold white mist.

It turns out... this cold pond was formed by the white steam from the reverse spring!

Gulp~ Suddenly a black shadow rushed out from the spring and attacked Song Lin like an underwater artillery.

"What is that?" He turned in the water, as agile as a fish.

The black feathers all over the body stood up, like paddles to help swimming.

Hua Hua Hua~~
The two figures collided several times in an instant, and then suddenly separated, looking at each other vigilantly.

It was a dark-colored aquatic monster that was five meters long and resembled an eel or a newt.

The whole body was filled with a mist of frosty air, and its solid skin was glowing with silver light, just like the luster of the jellyfish elite ore that Song Lin saw in the bighead carp's nest.

"What kind of monster is this? It can actually survive in the reverse spring!" he was surprised.

At this moment, the water monster attacked again.

Wow~~
The waves were surging, and the surrounding water turned into ice crystals, as if to freeze everything.

Song Lin suddenly felt a chill running through his bones.

However, surrounded by this frost, something latent in his body seemed to be activated. His bones creaked, and it seemed as if a liquid flowed through his body.

"God help me too!"

Song Lin was overjoyed.

He realized it again!

The reason why he had no power to resist the flamingo was because he had not yet activated the talent in his blood and his zodiac sign was restrained by the other party.

The water monster in front of him was from the same family as himself, belonging to the water element of the five elements. The true meaning of its innate frost was to slightly restrict himself, but it was not as effective as expected.

In such a battle, physical fitness plays a vital role.

"When I fully unleash my Five Elements Water Magic talent in the future and meet that flamingo again, it's hard to say who will be the winner!"

Boom boom boom~~
Collisions and fights again and again.

The fight between the bird and the monster became more and more intense. The black dragon's ferocious beak repeatedly passed by the nimble black unicorn, but it always missed by a hair's breadth, not even a feather was gnawed off.

The black lin bird seemed to be more agile than the fish in the water. It grabbed the black dragon with its claws, but only left white marks on its skin.

One is a fish and the other is a bird.

One has extremely high defense, the other is extremely fast.

The five-meter-long black dragon and the three-meter-long black lin bird fully demonstrate each other's uniqueness.

A black bird that is faster than it in the water?
The black dragon was extremely angry.

I don’t know when.

The bottom of the cold pond is dotted with colorful ink-like colors.

The angry black dragon was so focused on the battle that it did not notice the strange phenomenon hidden in the turbid water.

Suddenly.

Ink-like water vapor seemed to gather under Song Lin's feet. His wings paddled in the water and then suddenly retracted to both sides of his body. The black feathers all over his body seemed to spin like blades.

His body instantly turned into a sharp arrow and pierced through the water.

"Puchi~~~" The black dragon raised its head and roared silently, and a two-meter-long bloody hole was cut in the solid leather armor under its belly.

for a long time.

The cold pond finally gradually returned to calm.

A black unicorn stood on the Niquan, its feathers like pieces of black jade, revealing a moist luster. Its pair of black jade feet stepped on a ball of ink-like gray-white water vapor, indicating some strange supernatural power.

【October.】

[After experiencing the battles of water and fire, you finally understand the way of the celestial demon. ]

[A celestial demon is a natural demon with extraordinary talents. He is in charge of the five elements and can control the power of gold, wood, water and fire. He is a natural seed of the Divine Palace. If he can thoroughly explore the mystery of his talents, he can naturally be promoted to the Divine Palace.]

[You killed a black dragon spirit under the cold pond and obtained a damaged water spirit gem, which you swallowed. Your water magic talent was stimulated, and you gradually embarked on the path of exploring your talent.]

【November.】

[You practiced hard in the cold pond day and night, fighting against the white gas from the spring, and finally stimulated your talent for the five elements of water magic. Water vapor condensed under your feet, and you used it to absorb and refine the white gas from the spring, washing your body over and over again.]

[December. Your bones are completely tempered, the Black Dragon Pillar is perfected, and you enter the level of sixty-six thunder sounds.]

【So far. 】

[You finally face the doubts in your heart: "Why is there also a reverse spring in the Land of Nine Springs... Luofeng Gorge?"]

【Mid-December.】

[You made sufficient preparations and went deep into the reverse spring from the bottom of the cold pond. The cold air in it was rampant and violent. You went 500 meters and had no choice but to turn back.]

[You know in your heart that this Niquan is not something you can explore now. Unless you enter the Divine Palace like Qing Yuanzi did back then, or even a realm above the Divine Palace.]

【However.】

[This mysterious place finally casts a shadow on your heart. ]

[Under the reverse spring...how big a secret is hidden? ]

[Those people who sacrificed their lives in the construction of Green Willow Bank and Yellow Reed Bank under the pressure of Chen Guzhou... Qing Yuanzi who was willing to cut himself off in front of the Purple Gold Gate to seal the hole... Chen Guzhou, who was obviously a potential figure in the Divine Mansion, but he served as the governor of Minjiang River all his life...]

[What role does the imperial court in this world play? Why is its control over the local areas so weak? Why would they rather keep the secrets in their hearts...]

You don’t want to think about it anymore.

[He began to fight against the white gas of the reverse spring every day, tapping into his body's potential bit by bit. He also fed on the powerful monsters of Luofeng Gorge every day, gradually showing the dominance of the Hundred Birds.]

【January of the following year.】

[Your cultivation has progressed at a rapid pace, reaching the 81st level of thunder sounds, and have opened up 45 water veins that lead to the secluded. Your strength has reached an incredible level.]

[You finally stepped out of the cold pond and headed deep into the canyon. ]

Luofeng Gorge.

From the sky, it looked like a rift valley cut from east to west by a sword dropped from the sky by an immortal. It was a thousand miles long and several thousand meters deep, creating a wild world.

At this time, in a canyon filled with flames.

A flamingo bathed in flames was lying leisurely in the mud. Flames from the ground were gushing out and falling on its body, but it looked very content.

Looking at the huge birds soaring in the sky from time to time.

Greed, ferocity, and a hint of regret flashed in the flamingo's eyes.

It remembered the black lin bird it had met not long ago.

If I could devour the other party, I would now be qualified to fly into the sky and participate in the real fight and evolution, right?
pity.

Its simple brain is limited by its thinking and vision, and it never thinks of leaving its own territory.

But on this day.

An uninvited guest disrupted the established situation.

"Clee——" a clear and long cry sounded from the sky above the canyon.

In the flaming mud, the flaming bird suddenly turned its head.

A unicorn bird with a body colored in black jade suddenly came into view, with its ferocious eyes and boiling blood... the other party was here to seek revenge!

"Uh ah——" a strange cry.

A flaming bird covered in flames flew up from the fire pool below.

boom!
Two figures, one white and one red, suddenly collided in the air, and then, they collided and separated dozens of times in an instant.

The energy surges and water and fire gush out.

Countless broken feathers fell from the sky.

Bang~~
A red body fell from the sky. The flamingo flew backwards, with a flash of panic in his eyes. It had only been a short while, but the other party had become so terrifying.

escape!
The thought just arises.

Suddenly.

A flash of sword light of the color of dark jade emerged in his mind.

"Boom~~"

A deafening roar resounded through Luofeng Gorge, causing hundreds of birds to scatter and thousands of beasts to run away.

for a long time.

A unicorn covered in black feathers stepped on the corpse of a red flamingo, pecked open the bird's heart with its long beak, took out a red seed, and swallowed it with its head tilted back.

then.

"Wow—"

The long and joyful cry echoed in the canyon for a long time.

【The second year since I was born in this world. 】

[After going through untold hardships, you finally defeated the first opponent in your life. ]

[He took the first solid step towards becoming the Evil of Birds, and the sharpness in his mind seemed to have added a touch of sharpness. ]

[After swallowing the Flamingo Monster Seed, your whole body is washed by waves of fire power, and your bones, flesh and blood become more solid and refined as if real gold is refined by a fierce fire. Three water veins that lead to the underworld are opened in succession, and the thunder sounds are heard 82 times, and your cultivation reaches a higher level.]

[You even feel that your potential has increased.]

【The path to victory for all birds is not only about ‘watching birds’, but also about defeating them. Every time you see through an opponent, every time you defeat an opponent, you will make progress. 】

One day later.

Song Lin returned to the Niquan Cold Pond and began to sum up his gains.

"There are many natural monsters in Luofeng Gorge, but the only ones that can be truly called destiny monsters seem to be the birds. They are naturally stronger than other beasts and water monsters, and grow faster."

“This is a suspicious point.”

“And I am completely different from them.”

"Those monsters are gifted with extraordinary talents. They are born with strong bodies and use their natural instincts, such as wind, water, or fire. Their IQs are not high. I use my skills to integrate my physical body and water skills, and use my talents to refine my body..."

"I was born with a spirit, and this is my advantage. If I continue to practice like this, my growth rate will definitely far exceed theirs."

"But do demons really have no cultivation techniques?"

"I always feel like there's something weird here!"

【January.】

[After you kill the flaming bird, continue to explore the east of Luofeng Gorge, and discover that the number of destiny monsters here is far beyond your imagination. The deeper you go, the hotter the air becomes, and the more various types of innate fire monsters you encounter.]

[You can occasionally encounter some fire foxes and fire rats, but most of them are fire birds, which occupy the top position among the hunters in Luofeng Gorge. ]

【We advanced eastward for three hundred miles.】

[For half a month, you killed ten flaming monster birds in succession, and finally encountered an existence that you could not defeat. It was a fire eagle in the Gangqi realm, with the talent to summon the flames of meteorites in the air. Under the blessing of the extremely powerful Gangqi, you only lasted three moves before retreating.]

[Before leaving.]

[You vaguely see a huge pool of blazing magma at the end of the canyon, which seems to be gestating some powerful creature, with surging waves.]

"horrible!"

Song Lin returned to the cold pond and recalled the scene he had just seen, and couldn't help but be shocked.

There are definitely far more than dozens or hundreds of celestial demons in Luofeng Gorge, and there may be some hidden secrets among them.

"It feels... like someone is practicing Gu?"

"What kind of existence will this huge canyon eventually give birth to?"

A few more days passed.

Song Lin began to explore the west side of the canyon and also discovered many terrifying creatures.

The moisture in the air gradually became thicker, and the sound of river waves came from the front.

After advancing hundreds of miles.

He discovered that the canyon ahead had been submerged by the river, and there seemed to be a terrifying creature where the sea and the sky met.

"This Luofeng Gorge is really not as simple as I thought. Leaving within three years... seems a bit difficult."

"There is no way forward or backward, so what about heaven?"

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

for a long time.

The long, mournful cry echoed through the nine heavens.

A black jade unicorn fell from the sky, its body covered in blood and densely packed with terrible scars, as if it had been scraped by countless sharp blades.

"hiss……"

Song Lin raised his head and looked at the sky with lingering fear: "It turns out that the sky is the most terrifying!"

Luofeng Gorge.

What kind of phoenix has fallen? Whose box is it?
【February.】

[After half a month of recuperation, you finally recovered your physical condition and tried to explore the sky again.]

[Giant birds with wingspans of dozens of meters... white apes and spirit deer with various mysterious skills on the cliffs, and even chi, snakes, and salamanders crawling out of the deep water... each of the grown-up birds and natural monsters occupy the only way out of the canyon.]

[The sky seems to be the only way out, but in fact it is the most terrible trap. ]

[Since devouring other celestial demons brings huge rewards, why would they leave? As long as they guard the only passage to the sky, they can hunt for countless food.]

[Survival of the fittest, all the monsters practice poison. 】

[This Luofeng Gorge is a huge bloody field, and also a... trial field, a trial field for the celestial demons! ]

[The one who can come out alive is the only celestial demon! ]

"Not in the sky, not on the ground. Then...what about underground?"

Song Lin was furious.

Turn around and dive towards the spring under the cold pond.

This huge Luofeng Gorge cage finally aroused the long-lost ruthlessness in his heart.

【Time passes day by day.】

[You explore the crisscrossing waterways under the Niquan, cleansing your body with the essence of water contained in the cold white air, while gradually going deeper from the 500-meter area to the 1,000-meter area.]

[You know that you are not that black dragon, and you are naturally resistant to cold attacks. You can only practice harder.]

[In February, you finally made a new discovery. ]

[One thousand and one hundred meters underground, you found a mine that shines like a galaxy. It is similar to the jellyfish elite mine, but more magical than it, and seems to contain some special energy.]

[A name flashed through your mind: 'Jellyfish Element Mine'. The jellyfish elites used to forge the fish-cutting knife were nothing more than the waste ore left behind after the excavation.]

[This mineral deposit has been tempered by the essence of water for countless years, and contains a trace of mysterious origin. If you can refine hundreds of thousands of pounds and get a penny of jellyfish gold, you may be able to forge a magical weapon that transcends the mundane.]

【Looking at the shining light of the galaxy in front of me. 】

[Crack~~ You suddenly opened your mouth and bit off a piece of jellyfish ore. ]

[You are really hungry... But, it seems that you have finally found a shortcut to leave this place. ]

[Duck Killing Fate - Activate]

[You are naturally gluttonous and have a bottomless stomach. Your stomach is throbbing crazily, secreting streams of strange acid. The jellyfish ore that can only be used to forge weapons is actually swallowed and dissolved by you bit by bit, turning into some kind of magical nutrient that gradually merges into your flesh and bones.]

　　[Thanks to Juyoushengwutong for the reward and monthly ticket, thanks to ERITSZI, Lefeng, and many other brothers for the reward and monthly ticket today. Thank you all! ]

　　[I was planning to hand in only 3000 words, but I got motivated after seeing the monthly reward, so I wrote an extra 1000 words to thank everyone! What?~~]
