Chapter 218 Chapter 220 The Kung Fu before the End of the World
"We don't need too many people. Just come with me to look for it! Everyone else can rest here." Rong Xianxian said to Cui Lie.
Their team was already small in number, and if they were to disperse further to look for the ice crystal tree, in this dangerous wilderness, Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie would not be afraid with their skills, but Wang Qirui and Xia Kai might not be safe.
Besides, Rong Xianxian already had a vague idea. Although she didn't know whether it would work, if it did, they might be able to find the ice crystal tree soon.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie each carried a child on their backs. There was a bird flying in front of them. The bird would stop from time to time and land on Xuanxuan's shoulder. Xuanxuan would then point in a certain direction ahead and ask everyone to keep moving forward.
The last time they were looking for the Purple Snow Dan Fruit, Rong Xianxian also tried to let the little bird lead the way, but unfortunately, they searched the surrounding area and stayed for a day looking for the Purple Snow Dan Fruit tree, but still couldn't find it. Not sure if it would work this time, Rong Xianxian could only give it a try. After all, compared to searching aimlessly, this was the simplest and fastest way.
Xuanxuan was sitting in the small backpack behind Cui Lie. Xuanxuan was almost five years old. After the end of the world, she practiced martial arts and had adequate nutrition. In just four months, she grew taller, had a rosy complexion, red lips, white teeth, lively eyebrows and eyes, and a well-proportioned body. Compared with her pale and thin appearance and timid look in her previous life, the current Xuanxuan was obviously living a happy and carefree life. Relatively speaking, she weighed a lot more than at this time in her previous life. Of course, for Cui Lie, her weight was no burden at all, and she felt as light as a feather when carried on his back.
The small backpack now is no longer the original one. The one Xuanxuan is sitting on is obviously larger than the previous one. Jiang Jie, who is good at making traps, imitated the design of the original small backpack and made a new small backpack with tough, strong yet light monster fur, and strong silk thread made from special fibers extracted from mutant plants by Rong Xianxian. The new small backpack has a lid, so if you encounter danger, you can retract your head into the backpack at any time, which is very safe.
They had just passed by this area, which was flat and not too complicated in terrain, so it was relatively safe. Unknown wild flowers were blooming on the roadside, and beautiful butterflies were dancing among the flowers. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo sat there obediently and looked out, but soon they could no longer sit still in the small backpack and clamored to get off.
Rong Xianxian has always spared no effort to ensure the personal safety of the two children. Both children are wearing soft armor made of monster soft skin with protective effects. Although the sewing is rough and simple, Rong Xianxian has put a lot of effort into the materials. The protective effect of the soft armor is very good. The Vajra Talisman with the effect of resisting attacks is pasted all over their bodies. Walking in the wild is very boring. No matter how well-behaved and obedient the two children are, they can't help getting restless when they see the birds flying freely in front of them.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie looked at each other, Cui Lie nodded, the two children cheered and jumped down. Rong Xianxian told Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo to only walk between the two of them, and she and Cui Lie vigilantly paid attention to the movements around them.
Xiao Luo is only fourteen months younger than Xuan Xuan, but I don’t know if it’s because boys grow up later or for some other reason, but Xiao Luo is only as tall as Xuan Xuan’s shoulders and looks like he is less than three years old.
Xuanxuan has always been much taller than other children of the same age, while Xiaoluo's height is just barely up to the standard among children of the same age. Before the end of the world, Rong Xianxian had always been a little worried about this problem. Ning Qingyun once advised her that he had always been short when he was a child, but after entering elementary school, he slowly caught up, so she didn't need to worry.
Although Xiao Luo is not tall, his body coordination and reaction speed are much better than Xuan Xuan. Before he practiced martial arts, Cui Lie had been amazed at his aptitude when he was teaching Xiao Luo martial arts.
Rong Xianxian felt happy watching the two children laughing and chasing each other, carefree, and chirping beside them.
With a "bang", a monster whose entire body was the same color as the tree trunk fell from the tree. A silver flying knife was stuck in the monster's neck. This was the flying knife shot by Cui Lie. Recently, Cui Lie almost stopped using the spiritual energy in his body and was deliberately training the use of the flying knife.
Cui Lie's early cultivation speed was very fast, which showed that he had extraordinary aptitude. Later, he switched to practicing advanced basic exercises, reopened the acupoints and expanded the meridians. The number of acupoints opened increased and the meridians became wider. When he cultivated to the peak of the Chongmai Realm, the spiritual energy required for upgrading and breaking through the realm increased dramatically. However, at this time, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was very thin and was not enough to support his upgrade and breakthrough.
Although Cui Lie's realm is stuck at the top of the Chongmai Realm, his sword-drawing speed and hit rate are constantly improving. Rong Xianxian feels that it is because his soul is getting stronger. Cui Lie's emotional instability some time ago should be affected by the stuck state of his realm.
Rong Xianxian had never seen a method of cultivating the strength of the soul, and their team had never obtained a similar method. Cui Lie was good at using flying knives, and the most powerful weapon the team had obtained was the set of flying knives in Cui Lie's hands. Cui Lie's soul became stronger, which should be related to the method he used to control the flying knives.
That set of skills was from before the end of the world, and Cui Lie had been practicing it since he was a child, so Rong Xianxian didn't ask any more questions.
"It's an ordinary monster, not one of the first batch that descended. Do you want to collect its corpse?" Cui Lie turned around and asked Rong Xianxian.
The monster is shaped like a crocodile living in the water. After falling from the tree, the color of its body immediately turned into the same green as the grass. After death, it turned into earthy brown. There was no ball of light rising above the monster. Its strength was average, but it had the ability to change color and hide like a chameleon. This type of monster is good at sneak attacks and has no other abilities. There is a high probability that it is poisonous. It is not big in size, so take it back for research.
Rong Xianxian raised her hand and put the monster's corpse into the space in the sachet.
Two big, two small and one little bird continued to follow the little bird.
"Sister Rong, do we really have to go to the official supply point? Is it safe there? Is your source of information reliable?" Cui Lie asked as they walked.
Last time, Rong Xianxian was unwilling to enter the Binyang Safety Zone, and later when he was blocked at the door, he did not intend to fight. He just wanted to escape. He felt aggrieved and killed people in anger. It was not until Rong Xianxian took out rocket launchers and other weapons and asked him to stop the pursuers that he realized that it was no wonder that Rong Xianxian fled and was unwilling to fight. It was really that Rong Xianxian's enemies were too powerful. Hundreds of people came to block them. If it were not for the powerful weapons Rong Xianxian gave him, he would probably have no choice but to avoid the fight and flee.
