The condensation and strengthening of the fourth wisp of Cool Energy filled Yu Hong with joy, greatly improving his mood.
After wiping away his sweat, he rested for a while, then walked to the corner of the wall and began preparing the tools to excavate a new room.
'To cultivate mushrooms and lizards, I must first create a separate room. But where to start, and how to do it, requires careful consideration.'
He scratched the ground with his knife, contemplating structural plans and directions.
Before long, the sky outside darkened.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that he suddenly realized the Eerie Shadow hadn't come knocking at all today.
On normal days, the Eerie Shadow would come knocking from time to time, disguising itself as an acquaintance or pretending to be a stranger visiting, trying to get people to open the door.
But this time, in the newly completed, fully enclosed Glowstone space, he hadn't heard any knocking at all.
'It seems the Glowstone hiding method is working.' Yu Hong walked to the door, gently pulled open a slit in the barrier, and looked outside.
It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything.
After confirming there were no bugs, he lit the Fireplace, dragged over his sleeping bag, and leaned against the Fireplace to sleep soundly.
The warm Fireplace kept the entire Mountain Cave from being cold and gloomy. Without the sudden knocking of the Eerie Shadow, he no longer worried about being suddenly startled awake.
Yu Hong slept soundly until nearly noon the next day.
If his throat hadn't been so dry, waking him up, he probably could have kept sleeping.
Inside the closed Mountain Cave.
He was wrapped in his blanket, gazing at the sunlight seeping in through the cracks in the door, his body limp and unwilling to get up.
'It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly.' Yu Hong lay quietly, staring at the door, motionless.
He suddenly remembered how he used to love wrapping himself in his blanket at home, gazing at the dazzling sun outside, with the cold air conditioning on, yet unwilling to leave the blanket.
And the feeling now was just like returning to the past... But imagination was just imagination; life had to go on.
After persisting for a while, Yu Hong crawled out of his sleeping bag and began to determine where to start digging a new room in the Mountain Cave, according to his previous plan.
Holding the reinforced digging tools, he first used a Charcoal Pencil to draw a circular hole on the ground in the corner of the Mountain Cave.
Then he began to dig along the circle.
The sound of hammering rang out continuously, the hard rock was shattered into powder, and lime dust flew up, filling the entire Mountain Cave.
Yu Hong couldn't stand being choked, so he had to add some water and tear off Jenny's clothes to cover himself.
The digging was undoubtedly very monotonous, but Yu Hong had to wait for the Reinforced Leg Technique to finish anyway. For the next three consecutive days, he ate and slept, got up to exercise, and then dug.
He threw piles of stones out, creating a simple stone fence around the perimeter.
When he was tired, he used Cool Energy to recover. When he was sleepy, he lay down to sleep for a while. With the support of Cool Energy, his progress was very fast. If his hands hadn't been blistered and sore, he probably could have been even faster.
In three days, a circular hole more than a meter deep had been dug in the corner of the Mountain Cave.
A simple, rough staircase had also been made inside the hole, allowing one to walk down.
But a little over a meter is just the beginning. Yu Hong plans to make this a long-term project, excavating several single rooms to serve as functional spaces.
All the excavated stones can be piled outside to make a yard, or a pit can be dug to create a small pond to collect water.
The yard can be reinforced later to form a larger protective perimeter.
The pond can replenish water during droughts. With water, he could even grow some vegetables in the yard.
Some common wild vegetables can be transplanted in large quantities.
Once he really got started, Yu Hong felt full of energy, with a sense of building a home.
Another day passed, and it started to drizzle outside. Yu Hong didn't go anywhere or do anything. He just rested in the Mountain Cave, staring at the impending completion of the Reinforced Leg Technique.
The Eerie Shadow still didn't bother him. The opening to the underground cave was covered with a wide wooden board painted with a Symbol Array, creating a Glowstone secret room environment.
As the countdown on the wooden board continued to decrease,
Yu Hong's mood gradually became anxious. Intense anticipation kept him staring unblinkingly at the countdown numbers.
'What exactly will it be strengthened into?'
'This is a more complete and professional leg technique than the physical fitness exercises I cobbled together before, plus more than four days of strengthening time. It should definitely be stronger than my previous high-level physical technique.'
Yu Hong's expression froze, his eyes fixed on the numbers.
'01 minute.'
This last minute felt as long as a day.
All sorts of thoughts flooded Yu Hong's mind.
Finally, pop.
After a soft sound, the wooden board instantly blurred.
Immediately afterward, a thick stack of leg technique transcription wooden boards rapidly shrank, condensing into a standard book-sized black booklet.
The booklet's cover clearly read: Reinforced Leg Technique.
'So the name is the same as the one before I strengthened it? Completely unchanged?' Yu Hong stared at the booklet cover, speechless.
'But the name doesn't matter, the content does!' He couldn't wait to reach out.
He opened the first page.
...Li Runshan carefully picked up his daughter, placed her in a wooden box covered with dense Glowstones, closed the lid, and made sure his daughter was sound asleep before returning to his desk and picking up the communicator he was adjusting.
"This is indeed one of the origins. I've investigated the Black Calamity traces, and the outbreak route matches the detected one," he said softly into the communicator.
"Very good. If possible, I hope you can collect some Glowstone Marrow," a gentle female voice came from the communicator.
"I'll do my best. I thought someone here had mined Glowstone Marrow, but it's just a similar material, unusable," Li Runshan replied. "Also, the situation here is quite troublesome. I encountered an Evil Shadow as soon as I arrived. She has devoured at least a hundred people, and also devoured polluted people with Blood Tide marks. The situation has mutated, but fortunately, I dealt with it in time. Without a carrier, she's unlikely to return in a short time."
"Thank you for your hard work," the woman sighed.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm going to try to infect Aisena with Glowstone disease to see if it can counteract the mark," Li Runshan said in a low voice.
"The radiation near the Glowstone Mine is too strong. You must constantly observe Aisena's condition, and pay attention to the frequency of replacing the Glowstones..." the woman instructed.
"I understand." Li Runshan nodded.
"It's a pity... if only Mi Lian were still here..." the woman sighed.
Li Runshan didn't speak again, only remained silent.
"Alright, if you need any help, report it in time, and I will try my best to arrange it for you," the woman said softly.
"Thank you, Commissioner," Li Runshan squeezed out.
The communication was directly cut off.
Turning off the communicator, Li Runshan sighed and leaned back in his chair.
Knock, knock, knock.
A soft knock sounded.
"Is Daddy there? It's Aisena."
His daughter's voice came quietly from outside the door.
Li Runshan glanced at the box where his daughter was sleeping, didn't move, just closed his eyes to rest quietly, adjusting his breathing.
"Daddy, open the door... I'm the real Aisena... it's so scary outside... something is chasing me..."
The voice outside the door continued, soft and eerie.
Li Runshan turned a deaf ear, as if he had long been used to it.
He casually pulled out a blanket from under the desk, the blanket was densely covered with a large amount of white Glowstone powder.
He lifted the blanket and covered his head, completely concealing his body.
The voice outside the door stopped abruptly, disappearing completely, as if it were an illusion.
Inside the Mountain Cave Safe House.
Yu Hong suppressed his excitement and gently opened the first page of the black booklet.
His eyes were fixed on the content of the page, without blinking.
Four days of reinforcement time far exceeded the nine hours of the High Body Method, which meant that the intensity of this leg technique must be far beyond the High Body Method!
Gulp.
He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing, as he looked at the page.
'Reinforced Leg Technique is tailored to the existing qualities, spirit, and state of the body, and has no universal effect. Please use with caution.'
This was the top line of the prompt.
Below was the specific content.
'First move: Low Sweep Kick.'
The name hadn't changed, but the content was far more complex.
Below was a detailed diagram of human blood vessels and meridians.
On the gray human body diagram, small red and blue arrows marked the direction and frequency of the flow of cool air.
At the same time, there was also a special visualization diagram at the very bottom, depicting a metal castle monster with thick limbs.
The monster's limbs were all constructed of metal, thick and powerful, with one front leg raised in a heavy, forward-stomping posture.
But as Yu Hong watched carefully, he strangely discovered that the black lines on the castle monster in this picture seemed to have a close relationship with the meridians of his body.
He quickly shifted his gaze upward, looking at the human meridian diagram above.
After careful comparison, he was shocked to find that the lines and patterns protruding from the surface of the castle monster actually corresponded exactly to parts of the human meridians.
Further down, a line of text was delicate and neat.
'Leg techniques are different from fist techniques. Once executed, they must succeed, otherwise, it is very likely to lose balance due to being defended against or repelled.
Therefore, balance and being rooted in the earth, unmoving and unshakable, are the most basic foundations of leg techniques.'
Yu Hong narrowed his eyes and continued to turn to the next page.
'Ordinary people's leg strength is far greater than their punching strength, but due to balance issues, once a leg technique is used, it is best to determine victory or defeat with one strike. Therefore, leg techniques are either not used, or when used, they must hit the enemy.'
Below were consecutive pictures of the first move, the Low Sweep Kick.
All were in black and white, a short-haired man with bulging muscles standing on the ground, his body slightly arched, one leg suddenly raised, sweeping forward low.
Behind him, a simple sketch of the castle monster also raised its leg and swept forward low.
Further down were new words.
'The second prerequisite for leg techniques is that the legs must be strong enough, hard, and indestructible.'
'Therefore, we must first work hard to train the bones and muscles of the legs, hardening them and increasing their defensive capabilities.'
'Then, wear alloy leg guards on the legs and add sharp objects to increase armor-piercing power. Using the solid leg bones and muscles to bear the recoil generated by the collision of the alloy leg guards is the foundation of the strongest leg technique.'
"..."
Yu Hong was speechless.
This leg technique... something seems a little off. He quickly flipped through the subsequent content.
He found that the names of the following two moves remained unchanged, but they had all been transformed into special leg techniques that cooperated with visualization diagrams and force exertion techniques, and all required wearing protective gear on the legs to enhance lethality.
There was also supplementary content on the last page.
'The visualization diagram is synthesized and screened based on the actual situation of the body. There are a thousand people and a thousand diagrams. Others cannot use it compatibly, which may cause danger. Please use it with caution.
Practicing the Reinforced Leg Technique to great success can speed up movement speed, accelerate the refining speed of internal force, nourish the muscles and bones of the legs, and when combined with the explosion of internal force, its power can be greatly increased.'
'Core Tip: This leg technique mainly uses leverage to amplify power. The greater the weight, the greater the explosive power of the leg technique, and the stronger the physical tempering.'
"..." After reading the strengthened leg technique, Yu Hong only felt that it was indeed very strong, very strong.
It was just that, strong as it was, it seemed to be a little different from the martial arts internal energy leg technique he had envisioned before...
