Chapter 377 Arriving in the North, Snowy Human-Faced Bear

Before, Zhao Ya had always been curious about the statues worshipped by these tribes in the wild jungle.

He wanted to know if the will contained in it was the same as the Canglong Picture on the cliff wall, which was powerful but chaotic and disordered.

Moreover, the will in the Canglong Picture on the cliff wall came from the accumulation and watering of the endless martial arts masters in the Canglong Temple over the past thousand years.

The tribes that worshipped these statues were obviously not as high as the Canglong Temple, so what kind of will would be nurtured?

Especially since the Python God Cult actually created an avatar to accept the worship of ordinary people.

This made Zhao Ya even more curious.

This was the real purpose of his following.

When he came to the front and back of the shrine, Zhao Ya hid the true power in his body and stretched out his hand to touch it lightly.

In an instant, an extremely cold breath broke into the body along the fingertips.

Wherever he passed, it seemed that even the blood and qi were frozen.

Zhao Ya did not stop him, but let him continue to break in with interest, while carefully feeling the breath.

This is a cold and sticky breath, like the breath of a blind snake hidden in a dark cave.

It is similar to the breath he felt when fighting Wu Baoer, but there are subtle differences.

This breath is more evil, and it also has some more worldly smell.

At this time, this breath has come to the vicinity of Dantian along the meridians.

But at this moment, the Qinglong Zhenli that has been dormant in Dantian suddenly rushed out.

This breath seemed to sense something was wrong, and quickly retreated, trying to withdraw from Zhao Ya's body.

But the comparison in strength was too great.

Therefore, in almost the blink of an eye, this breath was completely swallowed up by the powerful Qinglong Zhenli.

Not only that, the Qinglong Zhenli also came to the fingertips along the meridians, and then rushed out directly.

Click.

After a crisp sound, the snake-headed and human-shaped statue, which was extremely strange, cracked directly, turned into dust, and scattered in the air.

Zhao Ya took a step back, and then found that the true power in his body had actually increased slightly.

Although the increase was not large, it was indeed stronger.

Could it be related to the breath that was swallowed?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Why did he suddenly seem to be following Jing Pingsheng's old path.

But Zhao Ya also knew that it was just similar in appearance.

In fact, the path he took was completely different from Jing Pingsheng's.

Jing Pingsheng relied on the evil method he studied to forcibly swallow the will of these statues and tried to integrate them into his own use.

The result was obvious, he failed.

And he failed miserably.

In fact, Zhao Ya had been thinking that even if he hadn't stopped him, he would have defeated Guan Xuejiang and others as he wished and swallowed the will in the Canglong Picture on the cliff.

He would have died just the same.

Because the human body has its limits, he relied on his flesh to forcefully contain so many divine wills. Even if he didn't die because of the will's disorder, he would be blown up sooner or later.

It was different for me.

My true power was cultivated bit by bit by myself.

Especially after the Azure Dragon True Power and the Swallowing Star True Power merged into one, Zhao Ya's control over himself reached a new level.

So now the Azure Dragon True Power swallowing the breath in the python statue should be just an absolute suppression of the lower by the superior.

After all, in terms of nature, the Azure Dragon True Power of the Azure Dragon Star in the sky is much higher than that of a grass python on the ground.

In other words, if I swallowed the true body of the python statue, wouldn't my strength be much stronger?

This is a way!

Zhao Ya secretly took note of this matter and planned to go to the wild jungle to have a look after returning from the Wuwang Sea.

The statue was destroyed, and those believers were either dead or escaped. Zhao Ya was too lazy to chase such a small pawn, so he turned around and went back to the mutton restaurant.

At this time, Jing Rou had eaten her fill and was sitting on a chair picking her teeth with a toothpick.

When she saw Zhao Ya coming back, Jing Rou grinned.

"Solved?"

"Yes!"

"Then continue on the road?"

"Continue on the road!"

The meal money had already been calculated, and Jing Rou picked up the package and walked away.

But before leaving the town, Jing Rou suddenly took out a round, black object from her arms and threw it directly into the small temple.

"Let's go!"

Jing Rou quickened her pace.

Zhao Ya even jumped and ran a distance of dozens of feet.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the small temple was razed to the ground in an instant.

But no one knew how Jing Rou tinkered with it, the power of this explosion was controlled extremely accurately.

Only the small temple collapsed!

The nearby houses were intact except for the tiles that were shaken and rustled.

"Great!" Zhao Ya gave Jing Rou a thumbs up.

Jing Rou smiled complacently, "Thank you for the compliment. The skill of eating is nothing."

This Python God Cult's stronghold was completely destroyed.

Afterwards, Zhao Ya and Jing Rou did not delay and set out on the road again.

But in the afternoon, Jing Rou was much calmer.

She no longer dared to compete with Zhao Ya in leg strength, but ran slowly.

In this way, in the whole afternoon, except for taking a break and drinking water occasionally, they ran a full 800 miles.

In one day, they had crossed more than a thousand miles.

This speed was amazing enough.

After all, martial arts masters are also human beings. No matter how fast their body movements are, it is only a momentary explosive power.

No one can travel at full speed all the way.

So when martial arts masters travel long distances, their speed is generally only 500 to 600 miles a day.

This is an average standard.

Those with better endurance can run 800 miles, which is already very good.

It is extremely rare to run 1,300 to 400 miles a day like Zhao Ya and Jing Rou.

But even so, Zhao Ya still felt that it was not enough.

So he said to Jing Rou: "Can you still run?"

Jing Rou, who was eating dry food by the campfire, was stunned when she heard this, and then looked up at Zhao Ya.

"You plan to..."

"Yes, how about a night run?"

"Uh... Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. It's only the end of June now, and Wuwanghai will be busy until the beginning of August..."

Jing Rou couldn't say the rest of the words.

Because Zhao Ya's eyes made him a little unbearable.

"Okay, then I'll run with you again!" Jing Rou said with gritted teeth.

But after setting off on the road, Jing Rou regretted it a little.

Because the long-distance run throughout the day had already drained his physical strength.

He had wanted to have a good rest at night, but he was dragged for another night run.

Jing Rou's body was already on the verge of its limit. She couldn't hold on after running just a hundred miles. She held on to a tree and panted heavily.

Zhao Ya landed on the top of a big tree in front of him, floating in the wind. Under the reflection of the waning moon, he looked quite fairy-like.

"Can you still run?" Zhao Ya asked.

Jing Rou finally gave in.

"I really can't run anymore. Forgive me. I admit defeat!" Jing Rou almost collapsed.

Zhao Ya smiled.

"What are you talking about, Senior Brother Jing? I didn't force you. Why did you say forgive me?"

As he said that, Zhao Ya swung on the treetops like a swing, and then appeared in front of Jing Rou in a flash.

"Well, since Senior Brother Jing can't run anymore, let's rest here!"

After lighting the bonfire, Jing Rou didn't even eat anything and fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, she was snoring loudly, which showed that she was extremely tired.

But Zhao Ya didn't sleep.

In fact, today's long-distance run was also a test of Zhao Ya's own strength.

And judging from the current result, the result is very good.

For more than 1,400 miles, Zhao Ya felt almost no pressure, and even finished the run without sweating.

Zhao Ya even suspected that if Jing Rou hadn't "dragged" him, he would have run more than 2,000 miles in a day.

This is a shocking number.

Even masters in the Yuanhai realm can't achieve this goal.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhao Ya's strength is really that high.

It's because of the blessing of the organ talent that was unlocked before, which makes Zhao Ya's endurance extremely amazing.

Especially the talent of turning blood into strength after the six internal organs merged later.

When the true power is insufficient, just eat a few pieces of dried meat to quickly replenish it.

This is undoubtedly a talent that is almost like a bug.

It will even become stronger in the later stages.

After all, after entering the Yuanhai Realm or the Shenpo Realm, the true power in the body will change again. At that time, if you want to increase your strength again, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

For example, Guo Luming.

Although he is a real Yuanhai Realm, he has practiced hard in the library of Canglong Temple for decades, and his strength has not made a qualitative leap.

The reason is that in this world, the heaven and earth energy that can be absorbed by the Yuanhai Realm is too thin.

It has even reached an outrageous point.

Otherwise, Jing Pingsheng would not be forced to take risks and forcibly absorb the power of the gods, trying to advance to the Shenpo Realm in this way.

But this obstacle does not exist for Zhao Ya in the future.

Because he has the talent of turning blood into power, as long as the dried meat is in sufficient supply, Zhao Ya can continuously transform it into Yuanhai power through his powerful digestive ability.

If this is not cheating, what is it?

Of course.

It's a bit too early to say this now.

After all, Zhao Ya's current strength is not completely stable, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through the Yuanhai realm.

But with this talent as a foundation, Zhao Ya has more confidence in his future practice.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ya sat cross-legged for a while before sleeping in his clothes.

After a night, Jing Rou's physical strength finally recovered.

The two of them ate breakfast hastily and then continued on their way.

They ran out more than a thousand miles this day, but because there was no competition of foot strength and the mentality was relaxed, Jing Rou's performance was much better than yesterday, at least she was not tired enough to beg for mercy.

In this way, the two of them headed towards Wuwanghai at an average distance of 1,200 miles per day.

When the time came to the fifth day, the two left the lush mountains and forests and entered the world of ice and snow.

The temperature here is always below zero degrees, making it difficult to see green here. Looking far away, there are large patches of white snow everywhere.

"We have entered the northern border now. In two days, we will probably reach the Wuwang Sea." Jing Rou said.

"Is the northern border so wide?" Zhao Ya asked.

Because at their speed, they can travel more than 2,000 miles in two days. If that's the case, the northern border is too big.

"Not that big, but after entering this area, our speed will slow down a lot. We can only travel 800 to 900 miles a day at most."

There are cracks everywhere under the thick snow, which is a desperate situation for ordinary people.

Even successful Qinggong masters do not dare to be careless.

Coupled with the avalanches that would appear from time to time, the speed would naturally drop a lot.

But even more dangerous than the difficult journey is the temperature.

When you first enter the north, it may not be obvious, but the further you go, the cooler the temperature becomes.

Soon, the temperature reached more than 30 degrees below zero.

This temperature is no longer something normal people can stay in for a long time.

Even among martial arts practitioners, warriors below the fifth level can no longer walk for long periods of time.

Jing Rou had already put on thick cotton clothes and walked huffing and puffing in the snow.

Zhao Ya was still dressed as before. The only difference was that the shoes on his feet were changed from cloth shoes to waterproof leather boots.

Soon, they came to a large snow mountain.

"After climbing this mountain, we will enter the bounds of Wuwanghai, but it's getting late today, so let's rest first and climb again early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Ya is incompetent.

Setting up camp in such a cold environment is a skill.

Fortunately, Jing Rou was very experienced and had prepared various items in advance.

So the camp was quickly set up in a leeward spot.

Zhao Ya habitually placed some warning and defensive poison baits throughout the camp, and then got into the tent.

The oil extracted from the pine branches burned brightly, making the small tent as warm as spring.

Jing Rou took out another large piece of air-dried meat, cut it into pieces and threw it into the pot. After a while, a pot of delicious broth was ready.

"Take a few sips to warm yourself up!"

Jing Rou picked up two wine skins from beside the fire.

The two of them drank the broth in the pot and chatted.

At this time, the cold wind howled outside, which highlighted the warmth inside the tent.

After taking a few sips of wine, Jing Rou's face turned red, and then she began to introduce the situation of those who were traveling to the sea.

"There are several groups of sea-goers at Wuwanghai. The one I am familiar with and often deal with is the old group. Their group is the easiest to contact and talk to among the sea-goers. The other groups are not. If you have a cruel temperament and are difficult to communicate with, you are greedy and unworthy of association. "

"But even so, we still have to fight..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in Zhao Ya's eyes, and he turned to look outside the tent.

"What's going on?" Jing Rou immediately lowered her voice and asked.

"Sometimes, I don't know if it was a human or a wild animal, but it touched the poison bait I arranged."

"It's impossible. In such extremely cold weather, even the northern snow wolves won't come out to look for food. How can this be possible?"

Although she said this, Jing Rou still took out a crossbow very cautiously.

The reason why no thunderbolts or firearms were used is because this place is at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and an avalanche may be triggered if one is not careful.

Unless they don't want to live anymore, generally no one dares to use firearms.

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly picked up a knife on the ground and threw it out.

With a flash of light, the knife pierced the thick tarpaulin and flew into the night sky.

puff.

After a muffled sound, a weird scream came from outside.

It sounded like a baby crying.

Jing Rou's expression changed instantly.

"It's a human-faced bear in the snow!"
