I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 41 Taking Off a Human Skin

The so-called "outlasting the eagle" is actually very difficult, because people often cannot outlast the eagle and will be outlasted to death.

Zhang Chen made the leather goods, and then used them to place the falcon on a stand. Then Zhang Chen sat opposite the eagle, staring at the falcon with his eyes fixed.

The eagle training has begun!

next door
The little vixen was lying on the table bored, watching the nerd Zhang Chen reciting scriptures. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she suddenly thought of the idiot next door: "I wonder what this idiot is doing."

As he thought about it, he saw the little vixen's soul leave her body, and then her spirit passed through the wall. Her eyes saw Zhang Chen training the eagle.

"Falcon? Where did this kid catch the falcon?" The little vixen looked at Zhang Chen's falcon with a hint of fear in her eyes. She rolled her eyes around without moving and returned to her house.

As time passed, the burning sensation in Zhang Chen's body became stronger. He felt as if every inch of his body was burned by the raging flames. The blood vessels in his body seemed to have undergone some kind of changes, and the number of blood vessels seemed to have increased.

fourth day

Finally, the eagle couldn't hold on any longer. When Zhang Chen handed the chicken to the eagle and the eagle swallowed it, he knew that he had succeeded in keeping the eagle fed.

After successfully training the eagle, Zhang Chen sat in the yard, eating stewed meat and boiling medicine, feeling the blood flowing in his body, and he always felt that the pain was much less:

"The burning sensation in my body seems to be much less today."

"The burning pain in the past was actually caused by the crystal core. The crystal core flowed through my body, and wherever it passed was like a knife scratching my meridians, so the pain was unbearable. After such a long period of adaptation, my blood vessels seem to have adapted to its flow, so the pain is gradually decreasing." Zhang Chen boiled the herbs and drank them into his abdomen little by little. Feeling the liver's blood production speed up, Zhang Chen slowly reached out his hand and began to pick up the meat to eat.

【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level 0): ​​Light of the Righteous God (5000/)]

[Skill 2 (Ungraded): Dragon Energy (0/2000)]

[Skill 3 (Ungraded): Blood Control (0/100000)]

【Points: 4650】

"There are still three hundred and fifty points to go!" Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger page, feeling a little amused and helpless for a moment. In the past, three hundred points would have been just a matter of a day's hard work for him, but now he was stuck.

"Don't be in a hurry. There's something wrong with that ancient tomb. I'd better wait until I'm fully recovered before going there. Now that I have nothing to do, I can train eagles!" Zhang Chen felt the blood in his body. There was still a shortage of one-fifth. It would take about three days to replenish it. It wouldn't be too late to work then.

Of course, the three days here are for normal absorption of prey blood. If it relies solely on daily diet, it will take a very long time.

But the most important thing for him now is sleep! Even if his body hurts, even an iron man can't stand not closing his eyes for four days!
The night passed peacefully without any incident.

early morning
Zhang Chen was awakened by the sound of a falcon flapping its wings. Zhang Chen sat up, comforted the falcon, lit an oil lamp, cut a piece of meat to feed the falcon, filled a basin with water and was about to wash up. After rubbing his hands in the basin for a while, Zhang Chen was stunned on the spot.

The skin was rubbed off!

Yes, a whole layer of skin was rubbed off! It was definitely not the dead skin! It was a whole layer of skin.

But after the skin was rubbed off, what was exposed was not flesh and blood, but a snow-white color, which was still shockingly white even under the light.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen looked at the large piece of skin rubbed off on his palm, then stretched out his hand and pulled it carefully, and then it was out of control, and large pieces of skin were torn off. Half a minute later, Zhang Chen looked at the intact human skin on the ground, then lowered his head to look at his own snow-white, delicate and flawless skin, with a confused look in his eyes.

"I have peeled off a layer of skin, but it was not dead skin, but complete skin. The burning feeling in my body before was actually the cramps and skin peeling off. My previous skin was peeled off to promote the growth of new skin." Zhang Chen raised his hands and saw that his palms were delicate and white, and the calluses on them had all disappeared.

If people were to look at these hands, even princes, nobles, and wealthy people would be far from being able to match them.

Although he still felt the burning sensation, it had weakened greatly. Zhang Chen had a premonition that his transformation might be over in three to five days.

"This skin is too white. Even those pampered young masters are far from it." Zhang Chen stroked his own skin with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He looked at the human skin on the ground and without saying a word, he lit the fire and burned the human skin.

It is better not to spread such sensational things as shedding. If the villagers misunderstand you as a heretic, it will be a troublesome thing.

Moreover, the human skin cannot be kept. What if there is some weird guy in this world who can use the human skin to harm others or secretly curse himself? That would be troublesome.

Zhang Chen burned the dead skin clean, then cooked breakfast. After eating a bowl of meat soup, he walked out of the room with a happy face. At this time, the sun had risen in the sky, and the sunlight shone on Zhang Chen's cheeks and skin. Zhang Chen suddenly felt something in his heart, and he felt that the world in front of him seemed different.

His skin seemed to be able to sense the flow of the air, the wind in the mountains, the sunlight in the sky, and seemed to be able to capture some inexplicable information.

At this moment, every hair seems to have turned into a detector, capturing information in the air, transmitting it into the blood, and then from the blood to the brain.

"What a strange feeling!" Zhang Chen stood there in a daze for a moment, shook his head and walked towards the mountains.

It is not uncommon for the skin to feel the flow of wind and feel cold and warmth. Ordinary people's skin can do the same, but his perception is more acute. He thought that it was because his skin was new and was more sensitive to the airflow.

At this time, Zhang Chen's blood had been refilled and he no longer had the fainting feeling he had in the past.

You know, more than ten days have passed since Zhang Chen made the ceramic whistle, so it is normal for Zhang Chen to replenish his blood.

"The baskets at home seem to be insufficient. With the increasing number of pheasants and ducks caught, I need to weave some more baskets." Zhang Chen walked in the mountains, training hawks as he walked. He checked the traps, which contained a rabbit and a pheasant. After collecting the prey, Zhang Chen walked towards the cave to feed his bumblebees.

After a few days, the bumblebee's nest had grown to the size of a baby's head and seemed to be of some size. Bumblebees were constantly going in and out of the nest, working hard.

Zhang Chen took out the diced meat that he had prepared long ago, and saw the bumblebee in the nest fly out and pounce directly towards Zhang Chen.

The bumblebee landed on Zhang Chen's skin. Zhang Chen felt it was extremely strange, as if the bumblebee's movements were inexplicably transmitted to his mind through the bumblebee.

He could clearly feel each of the Bumblebee's feet crawling on his skin, and he could even feel a slightly warm stream of heat spraying on his skin along with the Bumblebee's breathing.

"Incredible!" Zhang Chen suddenly realized at this moment that his skin seemed to have undergone some mutation. He had never seen an ordinary person feel the breath of a bumblebee.

Zhang Chen shook his clothes gently to sweep the bumblebee away, then gave a light push with his arm and the falcon took off into the sky.

Falcons are meant to fly in the sky, and Zhang Chen will not keep them completely confined by his side.

At this time, Zhang Chen picked up the honey pot and began to walk towards the mountains, looking for bees to collect honey.

Zhang Chen was having a lot of fun collecting honey and cooperating with the falcon training.

Zhang Chen came to a place where there were many bees, and he directly activated his skills and started the bee-chasing mode. As Zhang Chen walked around chasing the bees, all the bees were swept over wherever he passed. The overwhelming swarm of bees flapped their wings and came, scaring the beasts in the mountains to flee and the birds to avoid their sharp edges.

When the overwhelming number of bees form a large swarm, even the tigers and wolves in the mountains will retreat and flee far away.

Zhang Chen, who turned on the beast taming mode, always felt that a quarter of an hour passed very quickly. He could only collect the honey of all the bees and then leave contentedly.

Zhang Chen put away the honey, took out a whistle, and called the falcon flying in the sky to return. However, the falcon just cried and ignored Zhang Chen's command. It flew away like a sharp sword and disappeared among the mountains and forests.

Looking at the direction where the hunting falcon disappeared, Zhang Chen was stunned on the spot, with a thought swirling in his mind: "Could this guy be the sixth among the hunting falcons? He took advantage of me taking him out for a walk and he actually ran away?"

At this moment, Zhang Chen seemed to be struck by lightning. His eyes stared blankly at the clear sky. He felt a little confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"Is the falcon so stupid? Even animals can disguise themselves and play tricks on the snake?" Zhang Chen's head was buzzing at this time. Wang Wu had never told him about this situation, nor did he mention that the falcon would run away by itself.

“Forget it, it ran away. This is my first time training a hunting falcon and I have no experience. I’ll find a chance to train again later.” Zhang Chen stuffed the whistle into his arms, a look of disappointment in his eyes, as if even the honey he had collected before was no longer fragrant.

However, Zhang Chen's depression did not last long. Suddenly, a familiar cry came from the distant sky, and the falcon came back and circled in the sky. Of course, what surprised Zhang Chen the most was that the falcon actually caught a little rabbit, and what surprised Zhang Chen the most was that the falcon actually threw the little rabbit in front of him.

The falcon flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Chen's shoulder. It looked at Zhang Chen with a proud expression, as if showing off to him: "Look, I'm not just a bunch of idiots!"

Zhang Chen picked up the rabbit. Its internal organs were smashed and it was obviously dead. In order to avoid waste, Zhang Chen sucked the rabbit dry, pulled out its muscles and skinned it, then headed towards the stream.

"Well done!" Zhang Chen praised Yingshun and threw the cut internal organs to Yingshun.

There is no way, the hunting falcon just likes this stuff! Animals like to eat internal organs, but they are not so fond of meat.

Zhang Chen did not put the falcon into a cage either. Falcons were unwilling to be restrained in a cage. In order to cultivate a relationship with the falcon, Zhang Chen did not do anything that would damage the relationship.

"In this feudal society where human rights trump the law, it's not bad to be an ordinary citizen and live a quiet life." Zhang Chen muttered. Although he had a golden finger, he didn't have much ambition. He was very satisfied with his life now. Except for that damn vixen who was like a sword hanging over his head, to be honest, Zhang Chen didn't want to take any risks.

Those weird methods were all kinds of strange. He couldn't even beat a fox spirit, so how could he dare to go around? Being able to survive well was enough for him.

Zhang Chen walked back with the basket hanging on his back, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. I wonder what would happen if they sucked human blood!"

But he quickly stopped thinking about it. This idea was too dangerous! If someone accidentally saw him in the future, he would be regarded as a demon and be hunted down by everyone. Not to mention human blood, even if he sucked animal blood, if he met some moralists who saw him sucking blood, there would be a big fight to slay demons. His blood-sucking skill didn't look like a serious skill at all. Whose serious skill would suck blood? This skill looked very villainous!

When he reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Chen saw the tiger hunter Wang Wu from afar. Wang Wu was standing at the intersection waiting with a smile on his face, carrying a musk deer on his shoulder.

"Uncle Wang." Zhang Chen greeted from a distance.

"I just heard the cry of a falcon in the mountains. I guessed that you had trained it, so I was waiting to see the results. The falcon had been trapped by you for more than ten days, and it suddenly soared into the sky, so it couldn't help but cry to vent the depression in its heart." Wang Wu looked at the falcon on Zhang Chen's shoulder with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Zhang Chen stroked the falcon's head on his shoulder, his eyes full of joy: "It's my first sight. This beast can only fly out and back, and it doesn't understand more commands."

There was a hint of envy in Wang Wu's eyes, and he looked at the falcon on Zhang Chen's shoulder with a fiery look in his eyes.

"You must hide your falcon well and don't let those princes and nobles see it, otherwise it might cause some trouble. Especially Mr. Lin, he is the most greedy. If he knew that you have a falcon, he might find ways to seize it." Wang Wu warned with a worried look on his face.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this. He was not the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason, and of course he knew that he had to keep a low profile.

"I will leave the falcon in the mountains tomorrow and not bring it back. This will save us a lot of trouble later." Zhang Chen said.

He was not only worried about Mr. Lin, but he was even more worried that the damn vixen would capture and eat his own falcon.

The two of them returned all the way to the village. Zhang Chen carefully hid the falcon in the house, and then took out some green grass to feed the musk deer before he started to cook and boil medicine.
