Chapter 33 I have been here every year for six or seven yearsWhen the big monsters start using their sharp claws and fangs, it means they are ready to fight to the death. Su Chen has been on the front line of Yunyang Sect for more than two years, so he naturally understands its tricks. At this moment, protecting yourself is the first priority. The big demon's goal at this time is to hurt people. Even if it knows it will get hurt, it will still take the risk to hurt its opponent. Instead, Su Chen no longer attacked like before. The swiftness of the Lin Family Swordsmanship seemed to be of great use at this moment. When people talk about swordsmanship, they always mention its fierce and powerful characteristics. But in fact, there are various tricks and variables in knife techniques. When he was studying in the courtyard before, Su Chen thought he had mastered the "Lin Family Swordsmanship". I even vaguely felt that this set of sword techniques contained many redundant and unnecessary moves.
But at this moment, as Su Chen was about to make his move, he suddenly had an epiphany. These moves are not redundant, but tricks! Such means are intended to deceive the opponent into resisting and guarding, and to present a changeable trend. Moreover, the deception methods were very sophisticated, otherwise, Su Chen would not have failed to see the deep meaning of them when he was studying them. Unexpectedly, the effect was fully demonstrated during actual combat. Su Chen also understood in his heart that this was most likely the effect of the Swordsman's destiny. Improving the comprehension of swordsmanship is the greatest help in motivating oneself to comprehend these things. After realizing this, Su Chen's sword became sharp and swift. The deceptive tactics made the wolf demon in front of him even more panicked, and the attack with sharp teeth and claws was even more anxious. Taking advantage of its panic, Su Chen's tricks suddenly turned into real moves. The blade fell and hit its vital point. The moves flashed like lightning, and when the real moves were used, there was no chance to breathe. Continuously hit the vital points and end the life of this beast. The dog demon that had just shown its sharp teeth and claws was now lying on the ground. Su Chen did not waste any time and immediately returned to the depression. He pushed aside the snow and began to look for medicinal herbs. The skin and bones of the monster's corpse can also be cut off and exchanged for money. But Su Chen didn't spend much time on those things. The skin and bones of the golden monster are still of good value, but the corpse of the big monster is not very valuable.
Moreover, in this wilderness, other monsters are very sensitive to the smell of blood. Skinning and bone-picking yourself will spread the smell of blood further, attracting other monsters. Taking away the skin and bones of the big monster means that the smell of blood will always follow you. This is basically deliberately luring other monsters to find you. In this case, it is better to focus on those medicinal herbs. Su Chen found a lot of valuable medicinal herbs in the depression. If you want to walk steadily and go far on the path of cultivation, resources are extremely important. I have no one to back me up, and no one is willing to provide me with a steady supply of resources. I have to rely on myself for everything. In two quarters of an hour, Su Chen even activated his [Skillful Hands] destiny and quickly searched in the depression. A total of seven medicinal herbs were found in the depression, put into the bag, and then left quickly. Walking to a distance and looking back, I could vaguely see the figures of other monsters around. The blood of the dog demon just now attracted other demons. These monsters were cautious, but they also began to approach the big monster. It won’t be long before this dead monster becomes food for other monsters. Su Chen found a secret place to rest for a while. Recalling the fight with the dog demon just now. That dog demon was already showing signs of transforming into a golden demon. Its offensive power was far more powerful than the tiger monster he encountered that night, but it also allowed him to see his recent improvement. The physical fitness tempered by "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue" is indeed stronger than that obtained through other cultivation methods. Most of the time, human physique is slightly inferior to that of monsters. He practiced "Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue" and reached the middle stage of refining essence. His physical strength was no less than that of this top monster. Logically speaking, the physical strength of a person at the initial stage of the seventh-grade Huaigu is at most comparable to its. The effectiveness of "Xuantian Daoxin Jue" can also be seen here. With the cooperation of [Swordsman] Tianming, his swordsmanship also reached a higher level. And this fight also made him realize the true power of "Lin Family Swordsmanship". [Swordsman] The swordsmanship comprehension enhanced by destiny can be more effective in actual combat. Overall, the battle with this dog demon yielded quite a few gains. With his current strength, even if he is not among the top ones among the new disciples this year, he is definitely not inferior.
Su Chen doesn't know much about other people either. However, after spending nearly two months with Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others, I feel more confident. Ouyang Chuan's evaluation of himself was all nonsense, and he was just belittling himself. It is highly likely that most of the students under his command are no match for him. It's not like what he said, that no one can compare to him. I didn't think too much about these things in my heart. If I wanted to clear my name, my current strength was far from enough. There is still a long way to go, so don’t underestimate yourself, but don’t be complacent either. In the distance, some monsters were approaching and were trying to tear apart the dog monster's corpse. Su Chen headed northeast, diagonally upward, along the outer edge of the defense line. Constantly looking for depressions to pick medicinal herbs. However, there were not many such depressions, and one day Su Chen even got nothing. At night, Su Chen rested near the defense line as usual. And here, Su Chen met a group of herbalists. His skin was dark and a little chapped, and his eyes were full of fatigue. Judging from their appearance, they are probably not people who practice martial arts. It's more like the hard-working people taking advantage of the cold winter and risking their lives to earn more money. Su Chen walked up to them and started chatting with them. When he saw the attire of Tiangang City disciples, the herbalists became much more polite. They are villagers from the villages near Tiangang City. I want to earn some money for my family. My younger generations are growing up and we need to build a new house. They brought a lot of things, so Su Chen gave them some extra money and bought some to try. Several herbalists tried to decline, but Su Chen still insisted on giving them the money. Looking at them, Su Chen felt like he was seeing his own mother. During the conversation, Su Chen looked at their harvest again. There were four of them in their group. Generally speaking, two of them would keep watch while two would look for medicinal herbs. It has been more than ten days since I came here, and I have only found two medicinal herbs in total. On this side of the defense line, the medicinal herbs are indeed becoming less and less. They have no martial arts skills and dare not go too deep. During the conversation, Su Chen heard some news that interested him.
Several people brought up the matter of Mao Jiagu and asked further questions while chatting. “Every year at this time, many experts go to Maojia Valley. We are used to it. When we pick herbs, we try to avoid them. I've been coming here every year for six or seven years. Anyway, I heard people say that it’s because there are spiritual treasures growing there. These experts are probably here to look for the treasures of the land." (End of this chapter)
