Xu Lei didn't care about the rats at first, but he soon realized that those fat guys were not easy to deal with. They stuck to him like dog skin plaster and hung far behind him.
" They really don't know what's good for them…" Xu Lei turned around and roared a few times, forcing them to retreat far away. However, when he turned around and left, he caught up with him again. One of them ran arrogantly not far from him. When it passed by Xu Lei, it squeaked twice as if it was provoking him.
He had really underestimated this group of fellows…the phrase " cowardly as mice " was not reflected on them at all. Thinking about it, it made sense. To be able to survive in the complicated environment of the sewers, this group of rats obviously could not be measured by normal standards. It seemed that they were prepared to swallow an elephant like ants. Perhaps the rats were still afraid of such a huge creature like him and did not attack him. However, if this continued, they might really be bitten to death by the rats.
There was a saying in the countryside,"The teeth of a rat are better than steel. After gnawing on the shovel, they gnaw on the rake."”Those guys looked weak, but their teeth were quite sharp. Xu Lei remembered that when they were young, a group of children went to the suburbs to play in the mouse hole and met the happy mouse. These rats were different from ordinary voles. Not only were they large, but their teeth were also particularly sharp and very fierce.
At that time, one of the students didn't see it clearly and rushed forward to grab the mouse's back. The guy suddenly turned around and bit his finger, almost biting it off.
Fortunately, a few of his classmates reacted and threw bricks at him, killing him.
Because of this, they were punished by Rat to stand for a long time.
The intelligence of animals could not be underestimated. He had to accumulate some strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, when they finished probing and swarmed forward, they really couldn't stop the current situation.
Xu Lei stopped in his tracks immediately. He no longer cared about Rat's provocation. He calmed down and stood up, accumulating Qi and blood to nourish his severely injured body.
The stance of the Crouching Tiger Fist contained the technique of gathering and nourishing qi, Tiger Tremor. Usually, it was very fast to gather qi and blood. However, his body was about to fall apart, so the recovery speed of qi and blood was very slow. However, this kind of weak and gentle blood essence condensation was just right for his current body.
As he breathed and exhaled, his abdomen slowly squirmed, and scattered air currents grew in his body. It was like a stream of clear spring water. Although it was sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, it was extremely tenacious and lingering, constantly gushing out from the pores and cells of his body.
Xu Lei was unable to control the airflow as he pleased, so he could only guide it through the contraction of his pores, allowing the airflow to repair the injuries in his body bit by bit.

He only used the Crouching Tiger Fist a few times before he could feel that the wound on his abdomen had accumulated a lot of blood. The blood clots had to be removed as soon as possible, as they would cause harm to the body sooner or later.
Hu Zhen was described in a poem as "Although it is hard to clean up the sand, it is only when the sand is blown away that it becomes gold". It was a process of condensing one's physique. Through breathing and exhalation, one would vibrate the body's fur, bones, tendons, and abdomen, stripping away the impurities bit by bit. What was left was the essence.
The old man had once said that although Tiger Shock took effect slowly, it was an important method to temper the body. It was equivalent to building a house and laying the foundation. If the foundation was not stable, it would be difficult to advance further after practicing martial arts to a certain level.
Along with his rhythmic breathing, Xu Lei gradually felt his fur and flesh tremble slightly. The word "feeling" was used because this realm could only be felt and not explained. Its vibration was too small to be seen clearly with the eyes. However, if an ant crawled on Xu Lei's body at this moment, he would definitely be shaken down immediately.
Gradually, the filth and blood on his body separated from his fur and fell into the sewers. The blood clots and impurities in the abdomen were also slowly flowing up from the abdomen under the airflow and gathering in the lungs.
After an unknown period of time, the severely injured wound finally stopped bleeding and gradually showed signs of healing.
" Buzz!" A vibration came from Xu Lei's lungs. The sound was similar to the vibration of a mobile phone, but it was more rhythmic. This was the sound of the airflow in his body. The sound was very soft at first, but it quickly became louder.
Not far away, the group of rats that wanted to attack stopped in their tracks, and their small eyes revealed a strange look. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they knew that the big yellow dog's body was undergoing some kind of unsettling change.
Xu Lei's Qi and blood were accumulating at the most critical moment. Naturally, he had no time to care about these rats. He only closed his mouth and suppressed the surging Qi and blood in his body into his lungs. His aura fluctuated as if there was a living thing hidden in his body.
As the tremors became more and more intense, the sounds became louder and louder. The rats felt uneasy and turned around to retreat. However, these guys were still unwilling to give up. They hid in dark corners and waited for an opportunity.
The airflow in his abdomen was increasing, and his lungs were like a big balloon. His bulging facial features were all deformed. His eyes were protruding, his cheeks were bulging, and his head was covered in dense sweat. His fur was wet and stuck together.
" Puff!" After the airflow reached its peak, Xu Lei suddenly opened his mouth and the balloon suddenly exploded. The sound was like thunder, emitting a piercing sound.
Blood spurted out of his mouth and flew five meters away before hitting the side of the sewer, creating a visible dent in the cement wall. This was the blood clots in his body being brought out by the airflow. After standing a few more times, there would not be any hidden injuries left on his body.
As soon as the voice sounded, the rats in the distance became uneasy again, and many of them quietly dispersed.
"This 'Tiger Shock' is indeed amazing. I only circulated it for half a day and already expelled most of the blood clots in my body, even expelling a lot of impurities. It seemed that the old man was right. Hu Zhen was indeed a great help to the tiger's survival.”
Fierce tigers were born in the mountains and forests. Although they were ferocious, they were not without natural enemies to restrain them. Therefore, they were often injured when hunting. Unlike people who went to see a doctor when they were injured, they could only heal themselves after being injured. This Tiger Shock could not only temper the body, it could also heal injuries.
Xu Lei persisted for another half an hour before he slowly stopped shaking. He felt that his body was much stronger than before. Clearly, he had accumulated a lot of Qi and blood.
After he was done, Xu Lei stretched his body a few times and planned to look around the sewers to see if he could find some food.
As for those rats, they were just clowns. He did not want to waste his energy on them.
As soon as he turned around, he instinctively felt danger approaching him. The rats hiding not far away also confirmed his guess. These guys squeaked a few times and quickly crawled into the gap.
Could it be that the police had also entered the sewers? They were really willing to put in effort to capture him. Xu Lei tilted his ears and listened for a while. He heard a rustling sound not far away. It suddenly sounded like the wind blowing through the sewers. It didn't sound like it when he listened carefully. It sounded like an animal passing by. In short, it wasn't human footsteps.
Soon, Xu Lei knew what the animal was. It was a huge water snake. Its body was at least four meters long and thicker than a human calf. As soon as the water snake appeared, it immediately stuck its head out and hissed at Xu Lei. The air was filled with a fishy smell.
The snake looked rather strange, probably because it had lived in the sewers for a long time without sunlight. Its body was grayish-white, and there was a fist-sized tumor on its head. It looked quite ugly.
Xu Lei didn't look down on him at all. Instead, he instinctively stood up and arched his limbs so that he could release his strength at any time. If they were on flat ground, Xu Lei wouldn't mind fighting with this water snake. Even if he was at a disadvantage, he could still use the terrain to escape quickly. However, he couldn't do that at this moment. The sewer was too small and there was no place for him to show his strength. Even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't have a chance. Since there was no way to escape, he could only give it his all.
Even though the water snake had yet to strike, Xu Lei did not dare to relax. On the contrary, he felt a chill in his heart. What's on this guy's head? Why does it look like it has horns? Could it be that it has become a demon beast?
He had seen the way snakes hunted on television before. These snakes looked slow when they crawled, but once they attacked their prey, you would know how fast they were. They could bite their prey in 0.7 seconds. The snake's way of hunting was to bite its prey first, then use its body's advantage to tightly wrap around it, suffocating it to death, and then swallowing it bit by bit. Snakes looked very thin, but they could easily swallow prey several times thicker than themselves.
Therefore, when facing the water snake, Xu Lei did not let his guard down because of his physical advantage.
The water snake didn't give Xu Lei much time to think. With a leap, it brought along a small gust of wind as it coiled around him. Then, its body curled up, and a pungent stench rushed straight towards him.
It was too fast. A second ago, the anaconda was still three meters away. With a leap, it had already arrived in front of Xu Lei.
Xu Lei jumped up in panic, enduring the pain in his stomach as he retreated more than ten feet. With this movement, the wound that had just begun to heal began to hurt again. He could feel the warmth in his abdomen, as if blood was flowing out again.
The water snake seemed to be surprised that its attack had missed. It paused and did not continue attacking. It turned around and continued coiling.
Xu Lei saw it coil up and thought it was going to attack again, so he quickly focused his attention and became alert. What made him feel strange was that after waiting for nearly two minutes, the water snake did not go forward to attack. It only stopped in an attacking posture, and the fishy smell in its mouth kept spitting. Its glass orb-sized eyes flickered with green light, giving people an indescribable taste.
It seemed to be thinking. Suddenly, a thought appeared in Xu Lei's mind. Indeed, at this moment, this strange water snake gave him the impression of a sinister and cunning villain scheming.
Not good. He suddenly realized that the water snake must have smelled the blood on his body.
Although snakes had poor vision, their olfactory organs were very developed. It was not surprising that they could smell the blood on their bodies, but it required a certain amount of intelligence to be able to restrain their hunting instinct.
