Chapter 33 There must be a sense of collective honor~
The terrifying evil spirit and demonic energy swept wildly, alarming countless monsters and demons.
In shock, before Ji Ruo, who was standing on the treetop, could figure out the situation, the sleeping tree demon beneath him suddenly woke up and shook violently.
The leaves rubbed against each other, making a chaotic rustling sound.
With the help of the [Common Language], Ji Ruo finally understood the language of the tree monsters.
The tree demon under him was saying:
"Shashasha~ (The situation is not good! The wind is strong!)"
Ji Ruo: “?”
[Common Language] This ability does not completely translate the languages of other races, but allows Ji Ruo to understand the meaning of those languages.
These tree monsters did not wake up even after being chopped off, but now they were awakened by the rampant spreading evil spirit and demonic energy. It shows how terrifying the evil spirit is at this moment.
The tree monster was shaking wildly, and the tree roots were rising from the ground, moving alternately - when Ji Ruo was trying to burn the tree monster before, these guys didn't run so fast!
Because of the tree monster's sudden action, Ji Ruo was caught off guard and was thrown off by the tree monster, almost falling to the ground.
Liang Shixian asked anxiously, "Ji Ruo, what happened? Why did these tree monsters suddenly wake up?"
He didn't know what Xiao Jiruo saw on the tree, and a warrior at the apprentice stage could not clearly sense the existence of evil spirits.
Liang Shixian only felt that breathing suddenly became a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what happened.
But Ji Ruo doesn’t know either!
"I don't know either. It seems like something big happened at the top of the mountain. Don't just stand there. Come on and run!"
The dryads' speech was so chaotic that Ji Ruo could hardly understand their [Common Language].
“Shasha~ (Terrible, terrible, so terrible!)”
"Shasha~ (Run, run, run quickly!)"
The tree monsters fled in panic. Ji Ruo was about to follow them. After he picked up the shivering Rosie, he suddenly heard a loud noise.
Turning around, he saw that the tree demon whose body Ji Ruo had hollowed out to pickle fish had fallen to the ground at the slightest movement because its "wounds" had not yet healed.
The bare tree stump pulled its roots out of the soil and fled along with the army of tree demons. It looked extremely strange - the tree stump did not even notice that its trunk had fallen to the ground. It seemed as if it had just received an order from 'itself' and then started running. Later, its body separated and it could no longer receive any orders, so it started running aimlessly.
The part of the tree demon that fell to the ground was shaking its leaves wildly, and the rustling sound of the leaves rubbing against each other was stronger than ever before.
"Shuashashasha~~ (Damn it! My body is being eaten by worms! My body is broken! My legs are falling off!)"
Ji Ruo subconsciously slowed down his pace.
“Shhh~~ (Damn it! These damn termites! I didn’t even notice them!)”
"Shasha~ (Chief! Save me!)"
In front of us, the most sturdy tree demon shook its branches and responded, "Shashasha~ (Good luck to you, brother. The wind is strong and you can't help it!)"
Ji Ruo stopped.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "Squad Leader!"
"ah?"
"Come and lend a hand..."
Ji Ruo turned around and picked up the crying tree trunk.
Liang Shixian was stunned: "You, you, you, why are you carrying it if you don't run away quickly!"
Ji Ruo coughed dryly and said, "It's like this. Aren't we tree demons now? I think we should have a sense of collective honor and not give up or anything like that. This will also help us integrate into the tree demon family in the future, right..."
"You really think you're playing house!" Liang Shixian was so nervous that he saw Ji Ruo carrying the tree trunk on his head and Luo Qian's shoulders, running away with the tree demon army with some difficulty. Liang Shixian sighed and came back to carry the trunk with Ji Ruo...
Collective sense of honor, big tree demon family and so on, it's all bullshit!
Both of them were already seventh-level martial artists, and their physical fitness was not bad. Although it was a bit strenuous to carry such a tree demon, in a sense, it could be considered as carrying a heavy load and running cross-country, which could be considered as exercise...
Ji Ruo was carrying the demon closer to the treetops, and said to the demon in a deep voice, "Brother, stop crying. We'll run with you!"
The meaning he wanted to express in his words was converted into the meaning that the tree demon could understand by the [Common Language]. The tree demon was immediately grateful and shook its branches in response.
“Shashasha~ (Thank you, brother! There is true love between trees. Thank you! Good trees will be safe all their lives!)”
“Ahem.”
Ji Ruo coughed awkwardly.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the secondary functional achievement: the collective sense of honor of being a tree demon! ]
[The effect of the skill of being immersed increases by 10%! ]
[Note: Put yourself in other people’s shoes first, so that you can let others feel the same way~]
Ji Ruo was pleasantly surprised, and the little embarrassment was instantly thrown aside.
"You're welcome, we're all tree demons, so it's only natural for us to help each other!"
The tree demon was even more grateful: "Shasha~ (You are such a good tree!)"
Ji Ruo smiled happily: "Yes, yes!"
Liang Shixian: “…”
He now began to doubt whether Ji Ruo could really understand the language of the tree demon.
The two carried the tree demon and followed the main force, jogging for about half an hour - the tree demon's movement speed was not very fast.
The majority of the troops still showed no intention of stopping, and Liang Shixian's breathing had already begun to become heavy.
Ji Ruo then realized that the two of them had not yet opened up their Qi channels. No matter how strong their physical fitness was, it was still at the human level and not extraordinary.
Carrying heavy loads and traveling off-road is very physically demanding.
"Squad leader, remember what I told you before, 'Concentrate on your breathing'? Follow my rhythm and breathe together."
Ji Ruo said.
Although his meridians have not been opened yet, Ji Ruo's breathing is still steady. This is because he has been using his own 'total concentration breathing'.
Ji Ruo's self-created version is different from the original 'Full Concentration Breathing'. The original breathing method needs a long time of practice to be maintained for a long time.
But the version created by Ji Ruo does not require this.
When he created the breathing method, he referred to some basic breathing methods taught in school.
Those breathing techniques were developed by Mr. Li Yuanqing, the Deputy Director of the Education Department, who integrated some breathing techniques from martial arts techniques and simplified them before incorporating them into the teaching materials.
The breathing method has no other function except to assist in the movement of Qi and blood and to enhance the ability to control the body. Theoretically, it can make one point of strength or one point of physical strength fully exert one point of effect, and the loss can be almost negligible.
Ji Ruo referred to those breathing methods and created the 'Full Concentration Breathing' through imagination and the max comprehension blessing of the [Sword and Blade] buff. In theory, it combined the advantages of all the basic breathing methods he knew.
One point of effort can produce the effect of one and a half or even two points!
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment, then did as he was told.
After a few days, he had been able to understand Ji Ruo's character and knew that Ji Ruo would not cheat him.
Moreover, the breathing method that Ji Ruo taught him was indeed exquisite.
Then——
“Cough cough cough!”
The sudden change in his breathing rhythm almost made Liang Shixian unable to catch his breath. He staggered and almost fell.
"Squad leader, take your time, don't rush. The worst thing to do when learning martial arts is to rush for quick success."
Liang Shixian: “…”
