Chapter 1299: The Unrivaled Ruthless Man

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Xu would definitely not do something like this, after absorbing the natural energy of one area, and then switching to another area to continue absorbing.

Because this approach itself is too time-consuming and too troublesome, he doesn't have that much free time.

But now the situation is different.

He is now on an expedition and cannot worry about domestic affairs even if he wants to. Military affairs are basically handled by Li Ce, so there is nothing for him to worry about.

In addition, after the unexpected breakthrough, its efficiency in absorbing natural energy seems to have greatly improved.

In this case, he didn't mind changing a few more places to improve his recovery efficiency.

During this process, Zhou Xu also summed up some experience regarding the issue of natural energy concentration in the region.

From a theoretical point of view, everything in the universe, even as small as a grain of sand or a blade of grass, contains natural energy.

But leaving aside some special cases, from a normal perspective, at first glance, the more vibrant a place is, the more abundant the natural energy will tend to be, and the more desolate the place is, the thinner the natural energy will be.

According to this theory, the natural energy in the rainforest area of ​​their Great Zhou is very abundant. It can be said to be the area with the most abundant natural energy known to date.

However, Zhou Xu would never go there to absorb natural energy.

Are you kidding? In the rainforest area, there are the most important medicinal gardens and related planting bases in Da Zhou. In addition, there are a large number of important natural resources in the area, and there are also plain farms on the periphery.

Even if we look at the entire Great Zhou, the status of that area is extremely important.

Once the natural energy there is absorbed, the growth of important resources in the area will be affected.

Even worse, some precious medicinal herbs that are already delicate and difficult to grow may die. He does not want to bear such a cost, let alone take the risk.

Zhou Xu, who has recovered some strength, can let Qiansui run more recklessly. Now Qiansui's speed is so fast that even the exotic war horses of their Great Zhou cannot match it. He soon leaves the accompanying elf knights behind.

The elven knights were not anxious about this.

The main reason is that they know that it is useless to be anxious. At the same time, with the Qiansui accompanying him, the safety of their Majesty is not their turn to worry about.

The reason why they are needed to follow is more to follow their Majesty's orders to do something when necessary, or to handle some trivial matters.

Qiansui ran all the way and soon arrived at a new area. Zhou Xu didn't waste any time and immediately began to absorb natural energy.

The concentration of natural energy in this area is not as high as that in the previous area, but after absorbing this wave, Zhou Xu does not plan to change places. If he continues to run, he will have to run far away, and it will be inconvenient to go back.

"Let's go, it's almost time to go back."

After coming out, he changed three places to absorb natural energy. It would take a lot of time to go back now. Zhou Xu obviously didn't plan to waste this time. He sat directly on Qiansui's back and entered a state of meditation.

Compared with absorbing natural energy, the efficiency of using meditation for internal circulation recovery is definitely not high, but speaking objectively, Master Zhenyan still has to rely on his own meditation for the most part to recover.

Take the time when Zhou Xu reached the peak of the Saint Realm as an example. Based on the average value, he basically drained the natural energy in an area, and was able to quickly recover about 30% of the power of the mantra.

Taking this as an example, if he changes to another area and continues to absorb natural energy, he can recover 60% of the power of the mantra in a short period of time.

But now, the first area is not counted, he subsequently absorbed the natural energy from two areas in succession. However, at this moment the power of the mantra in his body has only recovered to about 40% to 50%. Judging from the state of the lake in his body, the recovery is not even halfway through.

At this moment, Zhou Xu knew that, probably due to his own breakthrough, the total amount of mantra power that his body could contain had increased again.

As of now, he can only recover about 20% of his strength by draining the natural energy of an area.

This is based on the premise that his absorption range has expanded after his breakthrough.

If he continues at this pace, as his strength continues to increase, the natural forces in the area will become increasingly insignificant to him.

The fundamental reason, to put it bluntly, is that the thin natural energy in the ordinary area is gradually failing to keep up with his needs.

If he needs to rely on natural energy for cultivation, he will have to find a high-quality "cultivation treasure land".

Zhou Xu was too lazy to worry about this issue for the time being.

Before arriving at the border fortress of the Saint Laurent Empire, the meditation along the way allowed him to restore the power of mantra in his body to 50% of its level.

Within the spiritual space, the lake water had already submerged the shoulders of the transparent figure, with only the head remaining exposed above the lake.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhou Xu had a lot of questions about this transparent guy, and he was even eager to conduct various tests.

But he also knew that based on the current situation, it was hard to say what would happen next, so he should take it slow and wait until the situation here was confirmed.

When they went out, they greeted the garrison at the border fortress.

Now, even though they were at a long distance, after seeing Zhou Xu and his men coming back, the guards patrolling on the wall hurriedly made gestures and shouted for the fortress gates to be raised below.

The mount of Emperor Zhou was a transcendental creature at the Vajra Realm level. Within just half a day, the news had spread throughout the Saint Laurent garrison.

Who can pretend to be this person?

As the fortress gate opened, all the Saint Laurent soldiers present couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched the giant beast slowly walk in.

In fact, let alone them, even the generals in the Hundred Refining Realm who were in charge of commanding the garrison work here subconsciously tensed their bodies.

Even though Qiansui did not make any intimidating moves and did not emit any fierce aura, he was an extraordinary creature at the Vajra Realm level!

This alone was enough to scare them.

To some extent, this is even more terrifying than facing those Vajra Realm-level generals in their country! Thanks to Qiansui's own powerful deterrent power, Zhou Xu's deterrent power among the Saint Laurent soldiers has also been pushed to a higher level invisibly.

In the eyes of Saint Laurent's soldiers, this is a peerless ruthless man who can use a supernatural creature of the King Kong Realm as a mount! ! (End of this chapter)
