Chapter 14: Zhu Guo?

  Munching on bamboo shoots? What a joke, does he really think he's a panda or something?

  Ugh... I looked at my body with a sense of resignation, and it seems that I'm indeed a panda now! However, although my physical body is that of a panda, my soul absolutely cannot degenerate into that of a panda. I am a genuine human being, after all. If I were to truly degenerate to the point of becoming a panda, that would be utterly humiliating.

  No way, eating bamboo shoots is absolutely not okay, at least we should have some meat. What a pity, that striped tiger I killed earlier, the tiger meat should be quite good to eat. Unfortunately, I didn't think of this at that time and forgot about it, don't know if the dead tiger below has rotted away in these two days.

  Arriving at the cave, Zhou Bo looked down and suddenly felt a wave of discomfort... damn it, how long has it been? The tiger's body had already been completely stripped of its flesh. Only a skeleton remained, without any meat left, with even sword marks still visible on it.

  Damn it, which rabbit bastard, taking advantage of his own practice time, actually pulled away the hard-won spoils of war he had worked so hard to get, not even leaving a single piece of meat for himself, only a few large bones were left. Damn it, that's just too ruthless! Being human is also too unscrupulous!

  Zhou Bo was indignantly cursing, completely forgetting that he had previously stripped several Qingcheng Sect disciples naked, seemingly doing something even more extreme.

  No way, this road is impassable, the tiger meat is gone, and even if it were there, would you have to drill wood for fire? There's no lighter here, can't eat raw meat? One's teeth aren't that good! Looks like eating meat is not an option, since we can't eat meat, then we can only eat something else, wild grass and leaves are absolutely not doable, at the very least some fruit would be better.

  I think this Qingcheng Mountain, no matter what, is located in the heart of Shu, with a superior geographical location and an environment that is spring-like all year round. A place like this should be abundant with various fruits, as long as one searches carefully, they should be able to find many good things.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Bo jumped out of the cave and his fat body fell to the ground with a loud thud. He rolled far away before stopping, although it seemed embarrassing, but his fat body gave him natural protection, even if he fell, the cushioning effect of his flesh protected his bones from injury.

  Wow!

  Taking a deep breath, Zhou Bo activated his Shadowless Phantom Legs, and his short legs began to move rapidly. Relying on the method introduced by the Shadowless Phantom Legs, he started moving quickly. Unlike internal skills, which require comprehension, lightness skills and techniques do not need to be comprehended, they can be learned directly from secret manuals; internal skill cultivation requires meditation and quiet rest, but lightness skills and techniques do not. These two can only be improved through continuous use in actual combat, and the speed of gaining experience points is extremely slow.

  Moreover, both techniques and agility require internal energy to work together. Without internal energy, agility will be unsustainable, and the power of techniques will also be greatly weakened. This is the role of internal energy, which can be said to be a link between the player's own attributes and external combat in the game.

  Invisible Phantom Footwork, a low-level lightness skill of the Qingcheng Sect. Although it's only a low-level lightness skill, it seems that this is already considered quite good within the Qingcheng Sect and not something ordinary disciples can obtain. Previously, those guys only had Qingsong receive the manual for Invisible Phantom Footwork, while others didn't have the qualifications.

  First-class Shadowless Light Footwork doesn't have specific attribute numbers, but when using light footwork, Zhou Bo can clearly feel that his speed is crazily soaring in an instant, with a speed increase of at least thirty percent compared to before. Moreover, this is only the first-class light footwork, if it were to be upgraded to advanced level, the effect would be absolutely terrifying.

  Moreover, as a low-level Lightness Skill, the consumption of internal energy is not great, with only five points of internal energy being consumed per second. Currently, Zhou Bo's internal energy has reached 2,000 points due to the effects of the Shengsheng Cauldron and the Qingcheng Heart Method. Adding to this, his internal energy recovers at a rate of two points per second, allowing him to sustain consumption for about half an hour.

  So, Zhou Bo didn't have any reservations at all, and his Shadowless Phantom Legs frantically unfolded, on the one hand enjoying the effect of the rapid growth of his Lightness Skill experience, while on the other hand, he began to carefully search in the dense forest, hoping to find some edible fruits. If he could find something like a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Crimson Fruit, that would be even better.

  However, Zhou Bo seems to have forgotten that with his own good fortune, he wants to encounter the thousand-year-old red date? I reckon it's probably someone else who has picked them before, leaving only the leaves behind.

  "Hmm, this forest is quite dense, there should be some good stuff! His footsteps stopped involuntarily, Zhou Bo's head looked around in all directions, hoping to find something edible."

  "Third Brother, this is a great opportunity for us. We've finally gotten our hands on the Zhu Guo fruit, and I'm willing to give it up to curry favor with the Sect Leader. With this fruit as leverage, when the time comes, the Sect Leader will definitely pass down the Qingcheng Sect's highest ultimate skill, the Crushing Heart Palm, to Third Brother. At that point, Third Brother's abilities will far surpass Second Brother's, and he'll become the number one disciple of our Qingcheng Sect. When that happens, don't forget about us brothers who struggled together..."

  Just as Zhou Bo was having a beautiful dream of being an immortal in heaven, a voice suddenly drilled into his ears.

  I'm going to get it, do I really have such good luck? That thing, I just thought about it, didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly? However, those delivery guys don't seem easy to deal with! After glancing around for a few times, two paws grasped the tree trunk and climbed to the top of the tree, observing the movement below.

  "What's the noise?" Not far away, five or six young players had appeared, walking steadily with a calm expression, their waists hung with precious swords. These were all quite skilled masters. Especially the one who seemed to be the leader, known as Third Brother, whose ears picked up even the slightest sound of Zhou Bo, his eyes changed and he immediately asked in a low voice. This matter involved Zhu Guo, Zhu Guo was a famous treasure in the game, worth a city, they absolutely couldn't be careless.

  "No big deal, it's just a panda. Nothing to get excited about." Another Qingcheng disciple looked around and spotted Zhou Bo hanging from the tree, raised an eyebrow, and said with disdain: "Hmph, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, they only know how to go to Emei Sect to kill people, refresh the sect's mission, but every time they do that, especially when they encounter Qianfan, who is extremely protective of his disciples. Every time those two go and kill Emei players to refresh the sect's mission, our Qingcheng Sect suffers a massacre as well. Just the other day, I heard that Qing Song and several others were killed off. Our Qingcheng Sect is weak and isolated, how can we withstand this kind of slaughter? Those two only think about their own interests, they don't consider the sect at all, they're not qualified to be Eldest Senior Brother... Only Third Senior Brother has the qualifications for that position. This time, with Zhu Guo backing him up, it's almost certain that Third Senior Brother will become the new Eldest Senior Brother."

  It's not going to be easy... These two guys are really strong, and it's not just the Third Master, even that sycophant next to him is much stronger than Qing Song. As for the others, each one of them is stronger than those people from Qing Shui. I've only just started practicing the Qing Cheng Heart Method and the Song Feng Sword Technique, and my level isn't high either. I don't have any equipment on me, just relying on this outfit... it's going to be tough to take down these experts. How can I get that Zhu Guo into my hands?
