C28 (1/2)
The boundless forest stretched as far as the eye could see.
Shentu Po and I roamed the forest like wraiths.
I'm carrying a huge stone over my shoulder that I picked up on the road. Don't say it, it really is a little heavy.
Shentu Po looked at me and sincerely said, ”My younger brother, this Rolling Stone Fist is not really the Stone Element Fist. You don't seem to have any use for this, do you? ”
”Those who wish to be sincere, let them know first. Let them know that what is in the lattice — — you do not know the stone, how can you talk about rolling stone?” I said breathlessly, ”Also, if you continue to call laozi as' little brother ', laozi will throw this rock at your face.”
”Don't!” Shentu Po hurriedly waved his hand. ”It's just a joke.”

In the meantime, he encountered many demons. He had escaped and killed.
The most embarrassing moment was when he encountered a red-striped Violent Ape that was at the level of a high-grade Greater Demon. The ape was half a mountain high, with four wide and thick limbs like the trunk of a hundred-year-old tree. White fur all over, thick and slender. There were six circles on his body. It could control water and fire, and was abnormally strong.
They had only met this ape for the first time and hadn't had the chance to meet him in person. Shentu Po pulled me along without looking back.
I don't even fucking have time to throw the boulder over my shoulder. Shentu Po and I frantically flew up into the air, not caring about choosing the best route. He charged straight through, smashing through countless trees along the way. It was fortunate that I had a strong physical body, so I wouldn't be seriously injured.
Of course, even if there were risks, there were still gains. Along the way, there were a few ignorant lesser demons that came to throw away their lives. I killed four with a stone alone. Adding on the number of blood essences Shentu Po had killed, he had obtained a total of thirteen blood essences. One of them even had the blood essence of an Inferior Diremonster, the Woodclaw Frog.
I kept the wood claw frog's essence blood and the Golden Feathered Eagle's essence blood. The blood essence of a low-rank Greater Demon is not something I can endure at the moment.
As for the other thirteen sets of blood essences, they were all refined by me. The process was extremely torturous, but due to my astonishing perseverance, I was able to persevere on.
After that, my physique increased by quite a bit, and my entire body was filled with power. Although he was still quite a distance away from the Medial Grade One, it wasn't too far off.
Of course, in order to obtain this blood essence, I also paid a corresponding price. Fried and steamed, all sorts of different delicacies were brought to Shentu Po.

I threw away the boulder on my shoulder. I was really tired after carrying it all night.
Shentu Po glanced at me and asked in astonishment, ”What do you know about this stone?”
I have no strength to complain about the love title that Shentu Po gave me.
After glancing at him, I said, ”This stone is heavy enough and hard enough.”
Shentu Po's mouth was wide open. His words had already reached his throat, but he just couldn't spit them out.
Only after a long time did he ask, ”Isn't that common sense?”
I said, ”I know how hard a rock is, which means that I know I have to practice Rolling Stone Fist, and how hard my fist must be when it is thrown out.”
I squeezed with my five fingers, and they made a cracking sound. With a punch, all the dust on his sleeve was shattered. The huge rock that I threw not far away crumbled instantly.
”It's just right now.”
Shentu Po looked at me in disbelief. ”You learned Rolling Stone Fist?”
”Just the beginning.” I rubbed my nose with my finger. ”When I was young, my master used to praise me for being intelligent, wise, and handsome.”
Shentu Po was sweating profusely. ”You added the last sentence yourself.”
I declined to comment and continued, ”Rolling Stone Fist emphasizes the word 'hard'. There was a passage in the scripture that said: ”The scrolls are fierce and straight.” ”It was shaped like a giant rock, rotating with great momentum. It's ferocious and unstoppable …”
I twirled my wrist. The flying whisker was like a giant rock as it rotated and punched out, transforming the fist power into a spiral as it rumbled forward. This was the secret of Rolling Stone Fist. Of course, this is also the result of my comprehension of the stone after a whole night of experience. ”
Shentu Po nodded his head and could not help but exclaim in admiration, ”I know a little, my little brother is truly talented.”
”...”
”Three Rolling Stone Styles.” The first move, Rolling Stone Fist, is not a problem for me with my current physical body. The second stance, Rolling Stone Hammer, still needed some time to be trained. As for the third style, Rolling Stone Cannon, it's impossible for my current physical body to withstand it. ”I still need to break through to the Earth Treasury Intermediate rank to reach the point where I can blast the air to shatter the mountain ranges — that would be a very heavy task.”

After exiting the forest, they continued to walk in the wilderness.
All the way north, it sounded poetic and romantic.
But for some reason, being with Shentu Po always gave off an uncomfortable feeling.
The leader was a thin, weasel-looking man. Not only did the goatee that grew under his chin not give him any air of ethereal elegance, it even gave him an air of vulgarity and vulgarity.
The four people behind him weren't good people either. All of them were dressed in black, their faces filled with viciousness. He pursued relentlessly, gradually closing in.
The party of five came closer and closer to us.
Suddenly, the eyes of the man in the lead lit up. He whispered to Shentu Po and I, ”Fellow Taoist, please save me! If you can help me get out of this, I will definitely thank you! ”
I asked, ”What should we do?”
”Everyone, clean up the area. Who cares if others have nosebleeds?” Shentu Po seriously replied, ”Pretending to not know, let's go.”
Shentu Po and I had no regard for each other. It was as if we didn't know each other and continued to move forward.
The person in the sky was flustered and exasperated. In the blink of an eye, his angry expression disappeared, and he became excited. He called out to us, ”Second brother, third brother, keep this treasure safe. I'll stop this group of evil people for you guys, you guys go first. ”
Saying that, he took off the storage ring on his thumb and threw it towards me. Then he turned around, wielding his sword, and began to fight with the four people behind him.
