Chapter 26 Better to Exchange for Coke
During the battle of the Leshan Buddha, Tang Lin repelled Xiong Ba and captured Fire Qilin alive. He also let Ororo run to the Soaring Cloud Cave to pick the Blood Bodhi elixirs. Of course, he didn’t take all of them away. Tang Lin specially instructed Ororo to leave a Blood Bodhi elixir behind.
In all things, one should not go overboard, else one would quickly fall into bad luck. This seemed to be the rule in the world of The Storm Riders. Even Xiong Ba, who was almost the supreme character of this plane, had to capitulate.
There were hundreds of Blood Bodhi elixirs collected, and Tang Lin did not count them in detail. These Blood Bodhi elixirs were smaller than the eye of a needle to him, so he couldn’t see them clearly. Nie Renwang ate a Blood Bodhi elixir, and his injuries quickly recovered. Whether it was the burns or the wounds from the sharp claws, the bleeding quickly stopped and the muscles quickly healed.
Ororo also ate one, and her entire body immediately emitted a bright red glow. Although he couldn’t see any actual changes, looking at Ororo’s excited expression, it seemed that the effect was quite good.
This effect tempted Tang Lin. He took out an embroidery needle, picked a few, and threw them into his mouth. This Blood Bodhi elixir was really too tiny. It was impossible to chew it as it would get stuck in the gaps of his teeth. He swallowed them directly with his saliva.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no red glow coming from his body, and there were no special changes in his body. Tang Lin felt that he had eaten too little, so he decided to eat half of the Blood Bodhi elixirs.
There were probably two hundred of them, but altogether they were not even the size of a grain of pepper. At
least pepper had some taste. After eating all the Blood Bodhi elixirs, Tang Lin did not feel anything at all.
“Is it because I am too big, or is it
because I am from an advanced latitude plane, so these things are ineffective for me?”
Tang Lin was a little upset. If that was the case, should he transmigrate to a primordial plane, and encounter those rare treasures like the Thousand-Year Red Fruit, wouldn’t they be useless? That would be such a pity.
Out of spite, Tang Lin opened his
thermos flask and saw that Fire Qilin was half-melted. He took out a metal
chopstick from his backpack and stabbed hard at Fire Qilin. With a crack, the ice outside Fire Qilin’s body shattered. However, before Fire Qilin could rejoice that he had escaped, the huge force from the chopstick crushed the mythical beast.
Even though the scales on Fire Qilin’s body could withstand the sharp blades, his flesh and bones couldn’t withstand the huge pressure that came down on him. He was completely smashed into a ball of red pulp.
Tang Lin poked Fire Qilin with his chopsticks for a while and confirmed that it had completely turned into a blood-red pulp. Tang Lin didn’t bother with cleaning the internal organs and bones. He mixed some coke in it and drank it.
Soaking in wolfberries was indeed not suitable for young people.
Thanks to the extra power given by the
Earth Child, Tang Lin could carry a
backpack that was even bigger than himself, and inside the backpack was all the equipment he could possibly
think of.
“What a pity. If I had known that I had to take my medicine, I wouldn’t have poured out the cold water in the flask
just now.”
Tang Lin shook the flask to make sure
that there was nothing left of Fire Qilin, and that he had really been swallowed, all skin and bones. If Fire Qilin’s blood could nurture so
many Blood Bodhi elixirs, then directly swallowing the Fire Qilin should be able to produce tens of thousands of
times the effect of the Blood Bodhi elixirs, right?
With the healing effect of the Earth
Child, Tang Lin was not afraid of eating something bad. He had already tested it in the real world. This kind of
recovery ability was not only for external injuries. It wouldn’t be a
problem even if he had eaten Sichuan hotpot for four consecutive days. If it was in the past, he would have had non-stop diarrhea.
From this, Tang Lin speculated that
the recuperative ability of Earth Child was comprehensive. Even issues with the internal organs could be healed.
After a gulp of the Fire Qilin Happy Water, Tang Lin felt a strange sensation. A red glow appeared on the
surface of his body, and warm currents began to spread through his entire
body.
Tang Lin could feel that his body’s strength had increased significantly, so it was even easier now for him to carry
the backpack that weighed tens of kilograms. There wasn’t any discomfort in his body either. Instead,
a warm current kept flowing in his body,except that Tang Lin wasn’t aware of it.
However, the emotionless system did
not seem to have any reaction, nor did
it show that he had something like an additional “Qilin Arm Level 1” or “Fire Resistance Level 1” on the skills interface.
Tang Lin rubbed his chin and pondered. Could it be that the system’s
influence only targeted the skills on the exchange list and did not affect the
other abilities that Tang Lin had obtained? This speculation seemed very reasonable. After all, the system interface did not have the skill “Chinese Level 8”.
Putting aside the effects that Fire Qilin
had on his skills, Tang Lin put Nie Renwang, Nie Feng, and Ororo into his
pocket and walked towards Wushuang
City.
Although Nie Renwang had eaten the
Blood Bodhi elixir and his injuries had stabilized, if he wanted to completely recover or even improve further, he would need time to recuperate. Nie Renwang said that he had some
connections with Lord Dugu Yifang of Wushuang City. At the same time, Dugu Yifang did not wish for Xiong Ba’s influence to continue to grow. He
should be happy to help him get rid of Xiong Ba.
Tang Lin simply ran from Leshan Buddha toward town. This ancient era
setting was good. As long as he didn’t take the main road, there were basically few people. Moreover, he didn’t need to be afraid that a missile
would suddenly fall from the sky.
Tang Lin crossed the mountains and
ridges
as if he was walking on flat
ground. The Earth Child skill gave him endless strength. He could run for several kilometers in one go and could
walk in a straight line. He was unstoppable.
In just an hour, Tang Lin had run more than a thousand kilometers. He encountered passers-by several times. They were either frightened by
Tang Lin to the point of kneeling and kowtowing, or they were so frightened that they fled in a sorry state. No one dared to fight such a giant. Originally, with Nie Renwang’s speed, it would take him half a month to reach Wushuang City. Tang Lin took an hour and a half to arrive at a dense forest outside the City.
This speed shocked even Nie Renwang. His Qinggong technique might be able to give him a short burst of speed that
surpassed Tang Lin’s speed, but it was impossible to sustain the speed for too
long.
Tang Lin knew that his size was too conspicuous, so he had no intention of entering the City. He put Nie Renwang and the rest down, and typed, “Go into
the City. I’ll wait for your news here.” In any case, this place was only five minutes away from Wushuang City. Tang Lin could walk over and take a
look at it at any time. Nie Renwang thanked Tang Lin and
then brought Nie Feng to Wushuang
City. Before he left, he wrote a
message, “Three days at most. I will definitely reply.”
After Nie Renwang and the others left, Tang Lin took out a multi-purpose military shovel from his backpack. Of
course, this was not the real thing. It was cheap counterfeit bought from an e-commerce site for 200 yuan, but it was good enough for now.
Tang Lin had long known that one day, he would need to stay in the alternate world for a few days, and with his size,
he would most likely have to sleep in the wilderness. Therefore, not only did
he use the Man vs. Wild clip for listening comprehension practice, he also learned the survival skills contents seriously.
He had brought enough food for two weeks. They were all high-calorie, easy-to-carry food like chocolates. If
he wanted to sleep, a sleeping bag
could solve the problem. If he wasn’t
bothered by dirt, he could just lie on the ground. Anyway, he wasn’t afraid
of bugs or the cold.
However, in order to ensure quality of life, Tang Lin decided to dig a small stove to cook some instant noodles. He
wanted to see if he could apply what he had learned.
Ororo found it a little strange and asked Tang Lin, “Don’t you have the
ability to control the land? Why are you
still digging?”
Tang Lin realized that the conversational English that he had
trained so hard on could only be used when talking to Ororo. However, when faced with this question, Tang Lin was
a little embarrassed. That measly
superpower
he had was not as efficient
as his shovel, and it consumed less
stamina.
However, he could not admit defeat in
front of a beauty, even if this was a
beauty that Tang Lin had no chance of
holding hands with.
“Ororo, if you rely too much on superpowers, you’ll lose your way. Look at you. After being strengthened by Apocalypse, you helped him to commit all kinds of evil. You clearly
wanted to be a good person,” Tang Lin
explained forcefully.
“I haven’t had a chance to kill anyone
yet,”
Ororo retorted.
She had just become Apocalypse’s
lackey and was caught by Tang Lin in
the blink of an eye. She really didn’t have time to commit anything
particularly evil. “This is because I appeared in time to
correct you from that wrong path. If you follow me in the future, you will be rewarded with good karma.” Tang Lin
felt that his English standard was
really impressive.
He could even
translate good karma in an accurate, faithful and elegant manner. Ororo indicated that she didn’t want to
talk to Tang Lin. She turned around
and silently condensed lightning in her
palms. After eating the Blood Bodhi elixir, Orroro felt that her power had clearly improved. However, she still
needed to practice to confirm the exact effect.
Tang Lin left Ororo alone. He followed
the actions of ancient men and built a simple stove with sand. He also pulled out a few big trees and removed the
leaves to see if they could be used as
firewood.
Just as he was getting busy, Tang Lin suddenly heard a roar coming from
afar.
