One day it had already passed and Ryu had already woken up next to the lake he had caught yesterday
"Well, yesterday the men talked about beast core if I'm not mistaken, following the line of reasoning of some novels I read they serve to increase their cultivation force," says Ryu thoughtfully
"For now we are going to let some of them down to increase my strength and then we will leave this forest to know exactly where I am" Ryu says and starts to enter the forest again
1 hour passed and Ryu had not found anything in the forest, he tried to walk in all directions but never entered anything
"This is some kind of curse? Bad luck? Should not beasts jump out to kill me or something?" Ryu thinks as he continues walking in a random direction in the forest
While he walks .....
in the darkness a great creature was lurking, with escapes and a large and long body, by its size it was difficult not to identify it but its furtive skills were of high degree
A snake was what was following Ryu, she had already noticed her a few minutes ago now she was looking for the moment to ambush her prey
Untie Ryu on his way all of a sudden and then she starts to pivot him and surround him through the shadows with his large body until he leaps towards her quickly with a big mouth wide open enough to eat a whole boar with just one bite
"It finally showed up, you've been pissing me off for a while, snake stupid," Ryu says after straying from the snake bite
[Ito tio no mi: Tamaito] says Ryu and points a hand at the snake in the form of a gun and a wire comes out of the tip of his finger reaching one of the eyes of the snake
the snake that now had one of its pierced eyes went into fury and threw its entire body over Ryu that swerves by jumping over the nearby trees
"I think it's time to try something else," Ryuu says cheerfully and then her arm turns black with pitch
[weaponry haki] says Ryuu and then jumps towards the snake's head and releases a punch that kills it with only one blow
"With just one hit, it's really amazing the brute strength of a dragon," Ryuu says after using the strength of his dragon fruit next to the haki, "Oops, I can not miss this opportunity," Ryu says and walks at high speed for the snake and touches your head with your palm
A sphere of light comes out from inside the snake and Ryu grabs it in his hand with a smile
[stealing souls] says Ryu and then swallows the whole sphere
Swallowing the ball he feels a strange energy in his body, but he does not care and just closes his eyes and focuses on that energy
Following the energy he sees that he is following a standard path through his body that after minutes becomes visible
They were his spiritual veins, as explained in the novels
"Now that I've started my way in cultivation, how have I been using my skills so far?" Ryu thinks with doubt but decides not to care
"Now we just need to wake up my devouring lineage as told in the information given to me," Ryuu says excitedly, "well, let's get the beast core going I need it to awaken my lineage," Ryu thinks, and scratches a stone from inside her body. snake
"Better I find a more hidden place to awaken my lineage" Ryu thinks and goes inside the forest looking somewhere for a cave
A few hours wandering through the forest and he had found no cave anywhere
"What is this? World-growing forests were not to be infested with monsters and full of caves where strong people once cultivated?" complains Ryu after not finding the cave
"Okay, if there is no cave I'll do one myself," says Ryu and goes on a mountain trip
[Ope ope no mi: Room] says Ryu and the barrier is understood entering into the cave, and the next second the heap of earth disappears and a small cave is formed
"The reach of the op ope in mi is a bit small compared to the anime," Ryu thinks after realizing this, "Maybe it's because Law has already trained and a lot of control over her," Ryu thinks as he enters the cave
Inside the cave without even wasting time and sits on the floor with his legs crossed and air beast core in his hand
"In the information says that after I have relied on the energy of the world already I can awaken the lineage I just have to pull more energy to my body" says Ryu reviewing the information given to him
"Let's try," says Ryu and closes his eyes and focuses on the stone in his hand, or rather the energy that emanated and tried to bring it through the entrances of the spinal veins in his body
Ryu initially managed to bring core energy into his body but it had not been enough and he tried now to pull the air
your current situation was great from catastrophic in a matter of seconds
at one point he was cultivating properly without problems and the next second his body began to swallow energy from the air like a beast without Ryu's control and he did not know what to do or how to and just stood there absorbing energy like a huge sponge
The energy around the cave was being sucked in at an absurd speed making the local beasts that were not appearing go in their direction to investigate
A few hours go by with Ryu still swallowing energy and not showing any sign of while his cave already staked surrounded by various animals
"Shit, how do I stop it?" Ryu shouts in his mind, trying to figure out a way out of this situation.
