Chapter 110: The Power of Power (Updated)

After testing the treasure gourd.

Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu moved forward and cleared out the first-level exotic beasts within a five-mile radius of Xipanling.

Only five first-level exotic beasts were hunted throughout the afternoon. After that, it became extremely difficult to hunt them so easily again.

Zhou Qingshan went deep into Xipanling and activated his eyes' magical power again. He found that the first-level exotic beasts within a ten-mile radius were about to leave Xipanling. They were all keeping a distance of more than seven or eight miles from them. As long as the two of them got a little closer, about two or three miles away, they would instantly become alert and run away very fast.

This was because a large number of powerful first-level alien beasts were hunted, which made the surrounding alien beasts quickly realize that something was wrong. They left their respective territories and fled to farther places.

Especially the deaths of the three powerful beasts, Taotie, Roe Owl and Horned Snake, which made even the dumbest first-level beasts instinctively understand that there might be overlord-level humans cleaning up nearby. They didn't even have time to hide, let alone actively attack the two.

Compared to the tempting flesh and blood of warriors, one's own life is more precious, and strange beasts are the most realistic, bullying the weak and fearing the strong to the extreme.

In this case, unless more powerful beasts are born, they will continue to hide from humans.

Zhou Qingshan had no choice but to hunt more stupid and stupid beasts that were not of the highest level.

Together with the five first-level exotic beasts, the essence soon reached 150 pieces, enough to awaken the next Calabash Brothers' magical power.

It was not until it got dark that the two returned to the spiritual realm.

Half of the people were missing at the Spirit Realm Checkpoint, with only the Blood Coagulation Guard, Zhou Shiqi and three Thunder Knights remaining.

Zhou Qingshan stepped forward to ask the reason, and the Huskies' deputy stepped forward to report.

There was a small problem in the territory.

On the fifth day, Shengfengling's spiritual realm expanded by one mile in another direction, covering some unranked strange beasts. Some of the strange beasts panicked and began to attack farmers.

Five people were injured, and Xiaoxiao ordered the Thunder Knight to kill them, and sent a knight to notify Gao Feixue and Zhou Hu at the Spirit Realm Checkpoint.

Zhou Hu and the Thunder Knight Rui immediately went to clear out the strange beasts hiding in the spiritual realm. They had mounts and could get there quickly.

Zhou Qingshan was shocked, and handed the corpse of the strange beast to Zhou Shiqi, and took Mo Yanqiu to inspect the territory on the black dragon horse, activating the eyes to patrol the spiritual realm. He really found a strange beast that was perfectly hidden, a pangolin-like beast hiding under a big tree, with no traces of excavation or holes around it, and it could breathe freely underground. It seems that its strange skill is to escape underground.

It is not hidden very deep, but it is still seven or eight meters underground.

Zhou Qingshan took a rest, turned on his "X-ray" from time to time, and waited quietly not far away, waiting for the pangolin to come out for breath.

It was not until late at night that the strange beast's magical power was exhausted, and finally the strange beast emerged.

Zhou Qingshan quickly put an arrow on the string and shot it at the pangolin monster. The arrow hit its hard scales, making a metallic sound before being bounced off.

The pangolin monster huddled up alertly and was about to escape, but Mo Yanqiu's spear had already pierced through its scales, killing it instantly.

"There is actually such a strange technique of escaping underground. It is really difficult to deal with." Zhou Qingshan sighed.

Mo Yanqiu picked up the pangolin corpse and looked at it carefully. It was one meter tall, with a fish head, a cow body, a snake tail, and gills. He said casually:

"The earth is like water to them. If this beast advances to a first-level beast and acquires the ability to 'breathe underground', it will be able to hide deeper without having to breathe, posing a huge threat to our territory."

Zhou Qingshan thought of something and said, "These few days we will go hunting for exotic beasts in the morning and patrol the territory in the afternoon until the spiritual realm stops expanding."

Mo Yanqiu had no objection.

Zhou Qingshan picked up the damaged arrows. These arrows matched his precious bow and were naturally of the precious weapon level.

The arrows were made of fine iron mixed with a small amount of black gold. For humans and alien races, a sharp piece of iron could easily penetrate their vital parts and be fatal, but it was not enough to deal with alien beasts.

Zhou Qingshan had only studied the art of archery for a few months, but he could shoot wherever he pointed at Xipanling, relying entirely on his 'mind power'.

The two men brought the corpse of the strange beast back to the yard. Neither of them was familiar with this strange beast.

I went back to the yard and looked up the "Exotic Beast Cookbook". This cookbook not only recorded how to eat various exotic beasts, but also contained detailed information on most of the exotic beasts encountered by humans in the wilderness, especially the species near Black Cloud City. There were detailed descriptions of the habits of human-faced beasts and ferocious beasts, as well as some life-saving coping strategies.

In the thick pages of the animal skin book, they found records about the strange beast pangolin, which turned out to be a kind of dragonfish.

The book describes: "There is a fish, its shape is like an ox, it lives on a hill, has a snake tail and wings, its feathers are under its wings, it makes a sound like a cow, and its name is 鯥."

This pangolin has not yet fully evolved into a dragonfish and does not have wings, but it already has some of the characteristics of a dragonfish.

According to the records in the book, the meat of the pangolin can be used as medicine. It can clear blockages in the body and strengthen the meridians. It is especially effective for warriors who can't coagulate blood.

Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu decided to leave the corpse of the strange beast in the kitchen and let the old lady make soup as food for the next day.

The next day.

Zhou Qingshan got up, and as usual, he first practiced martial arts in the courtyard before entering the Yunding chessboard world.

The world inside had been raining for three days, with no sign of stopping. Zhou Qingshan stood in front of the gourd vine, staring at the five small gourds on it with a sharp gaze. He did not dare to delay here for too long, and quickly injected a hundred essences into the gourd vine.

boom!
With the infusion of essence energy, the red gourd on the gourd vine began to change. The light it emitted became stronger and stronger, like a burning flame.

Suddenly, a deafening bang broke through the rain.

The red gourd fell off the vine under the huge energy impact. It did not fall, but rushed directly towards Zhou Qingshan in a strange trajectory. At the moment when it was about to touch him, the gourd burst out with its last strength and split into two halves.

Zhou Qingshan only felt an indescribable heat and energy gushing out of the gourd and rushing directly into his heart.

This energy was like a torrent, sweeping through his entire body in an instant, and his meridians began to tremble violently under the impact of this force. Zhou Qingshan gritted his teeth, trying to maintain a clear mind, and began to guide this violent energy to flow through his body.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Zhou Qingshan's forehead. He took a deep breath and began to stand in the heavy rain, moving his Qi and blood.

Integrate the power in the red gourd into your body bit by bit.

Raindrops continued to hit his body, but he seemed unaware of it, all his attention focused on the circulation of energy in his body. It was as if a storm had unfolded in his body, the energy of the red gourd was intertwined and collided with his body, making bursts of roaring sounds.

It was like the roar of an ancient god, and also like the awakening of the most primitive power between heaven and earth.

As time went by, Zhou Qingshan's face gradually turned from pale to ruddy, and his breathing became steady and powerful. He felt his bones crackle slightly under the nourishment of energy, and his body suddenly grew taller, as if it had been reshaped.

Finally, when the last bit of the red gourd's energy was absorbed by him, Zhou Qingshan slowly opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath, feeling the power surging in his body.

It seemed as if a stomp of the foot could shake the earth and mountains, and as if just one punch could create a huge crack in the sky.

Of course, this is an illusion.

At this moment, he was like a sharp sword that had just been tempered, with its edge fully exposed.

Zhou Qingshan's mind moved, and he exited the Yunding chessboard world.

The two women outside had been waiting for a long time.

The moment Zhou Qingshan appeared, endless power surged from Mo Yanqiu's body. He walked forward with a look of concern and surprise on his face.

"Husband, this power... is it the Red Gourd that has awakened this time?!"

Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her eyes were meticulous, and she noticed the change in Zhou Qingshan's clothes: "Master, your clothes don't seem to fit you anymore."

"It was indeed the red gourd that made me grow a lot taller and also made my strength a qualitative leap."

Zhou Qingshan looked down at his clothes and realized that due to his growth, the tight-fitting clothes now looked much shorter, with some skin exposed on the hem and trouser legs.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and carefully wiped the water stains on Zhou Qingshan's body, then stepped forward to carefully measure Zhou Qingshan's body, preparing to make two new pieces of suitable clothes for him.

Although Zhou Qingshan's body still maintains a slender outline and does not have overly swollen muscles, his height has reached eight feet four inches, about 1.9 meters, making him look more upright.

Zhou Qingshan stood there cautiously and let Xiaoxiao perform, worried that the powerful force in his body, to which he had not yet adapted, would accidentally hurt Xiaoxiao.

After finishing the small measurement, Zhou Qingshan tiptoed out of the house. He felt that everything around him seemed to become fragile.

This is not an illusion.

He tried to pick up a thousand-pound stone lock with one hand, but found it was as light as a feather and almost flew out of his hand.

Zhou Qingshan lifted up several stone locks in the yard, which weighed only about 3,000 jin. He put them down with regret and said to Mo Yanqiu, "The stone locks can't test my specific strength."

He opened the chess piece panel again and found that his energy and spirit had reached a terrifying eighteen points.

Mo Yanqiu nodded and glanced around:
"The magical power of the red gourd has greatly increased my husband's strength. However, my husband cannot adapt to this increase in strength for the time being."

"It's not easy to perform here. Let's go outside and test the true strength of my husband."

The two left the yard and headed for the camp located under the city wall of Lingjing Pass. This was where the night watch guards were stationed and also where the guards were trained.

In addition, Lava's Armory has also been established here.

At this moment.

At this moment, Zhou Shiqi returned with his Xuanbing shield, which was loaded with the corpses of five exotic beasts.

Zhou Qingshan noticed Zhou Shiqi's giant-like strong body and Xuanbing shield, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted:

"Seventeen, come here for a moment, I need your help with something."
