When his Qi and blood recovered, Xu Lei started to worry about the wound on his abdomen again. The wound had to heal as soon as possible, or else it would become infected and fester.
He had already changed his previous thoughts. The group of police officers must have been unwilling to accept the fact that they had not found his body. They should still be blocking the door of his house. With his current physical condition, going up was equivalent to walking into a trap. It was better to nourish his body in the sewers and wait for his injuries to completely heal.
As for food, Xu Lei was not worried at all. This water snake weighed at least a hundred pounds, enough for him to eat for a few days. After drinking the snake blood, he no longer rejected the snake meat. In fact, he even had a faint anticipation.
Although it was already July outside, the sewers did not feel hot at all. It was about ten degrees Celsius, and the wind gave people a cold feeling.
Ever since the fight with the water snake, Xu Lei had been in a state of high concentration. Now he had the opportunity to look around.
This water snake wasn't dirty like the large rats. On the contrary, its body was very clean, and its scales were faintly glowing with jade. If they lived in a dirty and smelly environment like the sewers for a long time, it would definitely not be like this. Clearly, the water snakes had other residences.
Thinking of this, he had the idea of exploring the snake cave. Dogs had a good sense of smell, and Xu Lei naturally inherited this advantage. He sniffed the ground for a moment and found the direction where the water snake came from.
The snake's body on the ground was a problem. With him guarding it, the rat naturally did not dare to move forward. However, after they left, it would take less than five minutes for hundreds of rats to gnaw the snake until only its bones were left.
This was his food for the next few days. He couldn't let those rats take advantage of it. After thinking about it, he could only bite the snake tail and drag it on the ground helplessly.
After walking for less than 50 meters on the main road, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the cement wall in front of them.
Xu Lei stared at the crack and naturally saw that it was caused by the poor quality of the cement. The exposed steel bars on it were only the thickness of a thumb. It could be considered a standard jerry-built project! However, when he saw the half snakeskin bag that was dragging along the edge of the crack, he began to rejoice. Fortunately, it was a jerry-built project. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to find some cotton thread to suture the wound in the sewer. As for the needle used for suturing, he planned to replace it with the steel wire on the steel bar after disinfection. (This chapter was uploaded by 79 Literature Network.

As he walked along the crack, the ground became damp. Not far away, he even encountered a grayish-white snake skin. It was obvious that the water snake had shed it not long ago.
At the end of the crack was the water snake's nest, which had naturally become Xu Lei's residence. After he threw the snake's body on the ground, he turned his head and looked into the cave.
The hole was nearly ten square meters in size, and one side was close to the cement wall. Although it was not spacious, it was a pretty good choice for Xu Lei. At least he did not have to smell the unpleasant smell in the sewer. The ground was very dry, and there was a small pond in the corner. It was filled with clear water. At first, Xu Lei thought that it was the sewage from the sewers, but after he looked carefully, he realized that it was not the case. A few drops of water dropped from the top of the cave from time to time. It seemed that there should be a water pipe passing through the cave.
Now, even the problem of water supply had been solved.
The two walls of the hole were very smooth. It was obvious that the water snake had tidied them up. Seeing this situation, he was a little puzzled. He could not understand how the water snake moved the soil out.
However, when he thought of the crafty eyes of the water snake during the battle, Xu Lei was a little enlightened. Sometimes, the intelligence of animals could not be underestimated. Moreover, this water snake was so big. If it wasn't a hundred years old, it would be at least decades old. Old but not dead, anything was possible.
" Hiss..." When the steel wire pierced through his skin, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. After being reborn as a dog, Xu Lei had consciously practiced his two front paws, so his movements were much more flexible than ordinary dogs. Whether it was brushing his teeth or carrying things, he could do it. However, the difficulty of sewing a wound with a needle was really high. It was no different from Zhang Fei's embroidery.
It took him nearly half an hour to sew up the wound in a crooked manner. His two front paws were also covered in blood. Afraid of getting infected by the air, Xu Lei tied the grayish-white snakeskin outside the cave to his waist as if he was wearing a belt.
The skin shed by ordinary snakes was as thin as paper and could be torn apart with a little force. The snakeskin was different. It was full of elasticity. Xu Lei used a lot of force to pull it apart.
For the past few days, he had been recuperating in the snake cave. When he was hungry, he would eat the flesh of the water snake. When he was thirsty, he would drink the pool of clean water. Soon, a centipede-like scar appeared on the wound. This made Xu Lei very excited. A knife wound like this would usually take half a month to scab even in a hospital environment. He did not expect that his wound healing speed would be more than doubled. It was unbelievable. He didn't know if it was because he had been practicing the Crouching Tiger Fist recently, or because the snake gall had the effect of nourishing his body.
Seeing that the wound was no longer a problem, Xu Lei felt his body itch again. In the past few days, he had been practicing boxing and standing stance every day. He had already developed a habit. The sudden stop due to his injury made him particularly uncomfortable. He kept feeling that something was missing.
He had gained a lot of insight into the Crouching Tiger Fist after fighting with the dogs last time. He could use this opportunity to practice it again.
" Water Margins " once introduced that tigers usually only used three moves to hunt: front claws, waist, and tail." Pounce, lift, and cut." If the three moves were not effective, the momentum would be reduced by half. The Crouching Tiger Fist was created based on the actions of a ferocious tiger hunting its prey. The moves were also simplified. There was not so much combination of reality and illusion. Instead, it focused on the coordination of the head, limbs, waist, and tail in order to achieve the best attack state.
Therefore, the fist intent of this Crouching Tiger Fist was fierce and fierce. It relied on its aura to advance forward bravely. It would kill gods and buddhas who stood in its way. Once the aura dissipated, its power would be greatly weakened.
Xu Lei had experienced this before, but he had experienced it when he fought with a group of dogs. The experience of life and death was more profound.
He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. With a wild roar, he was like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain. His two forelimbs struck out quickly, either forming a fist with his claws or attacking with his sharp claws. Each move was extremely swift and violent.
Very soon, Xu Lei was completely immersed in this artistic conception. His attacking methods were no longer limited to his two front claws. He tore with his mouth, hit with his waist, and cut with his tail…His body sometimes pounced forward and sometimes retreated. A fierce wind blew in the cave with a radius of less than ten square meters, stirring up the dust on the ground.
With the movements of his head, neck, limbs, waist, and tail, Xu Lei felt his internal organs start to rumble like thunder. Even every muscle and cell in his body felt an indescribable pleasure. Countless warm currents flowed rapidly through his body. This was something that he had never encountered before when he practiced the Crouching Tiger Fist.
It should be because of the snake gall's full effect. He guessed in his heart. He did not slow down his movements. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot and allowed the snake gall's effect to completely integrate into his skin.
Dragons follow the clouds, tigers follow the wind. The Crouching Tiger Fist made Xu Lei sweat profusely. When he finally attacked with his claws, there were actually a few tiger roars mixed in.
After performing the Crouching Tiger Fist dozens of times, he felt his body was steaming hot, as if he was about to burn. Xu Lei knew that his body had already reached its limit. Going too far was as bad as falling short. His wound had just healed not long ago, and it would not be good if it continued like this. Xu Lei slowly retracted his movements and stood in a daze again. Then, he opened his mouth wide and let out a long cry. Immediately, a stream of white gas spurted out.
The white gas condensed into a sword as soon as it came out of his mouth, but it began to dissipate after three feet. When would he be like the old man and reach the realm of Qi Condensation? Then, his breath would be able to kill people.
Xu Lei took another breath. When the pressure on his abdomen dissipated and his body temperature slowly returned to normal, he stopped standing.
Although he had lost all of his strength after the Crouching Tiger Fist, he still felt his blood and Qi flow smoothly, and his limbs and bones felt indescribably comfortable.
"No wonder that old man said that only martial arts that go through life and death battles can be considered true martial arts when he taught Crouching Tiger Fist. In fact, the so-called martial arts to strengthen one's body is just a self-deceiving statement. From the day martial arts was created, it was used to kill.‘Chivalrous men used martial arts to violate the law, Confucian scholars used literature to mess up the law. These were all very common things. Only a life and death battle could make one devote their whole body and mind into it, and only then would one's realm increase rapidly.
A man should kill without mercy. Thousands of years of eternal karma, all in killing people. Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand people is a hero. Since he had already embarked on this path, he would continue walking down it.”A series of punches came down, and Xu Lei's heroic spirit was instantly born.
Seeing that his body was covered in greasy dust, he jumped into the puddle. The wound had not healed for the past few days, and Xu Lei did not dare to touch water. It was extremely uncomfortable for people like him who were used to civilized life.
Now that the wound had scab, it was no longer a problem for him to bathe in the water. Although the water was no deeper than his knees, it was no different from soaking in a hot spring for Xu Lei, who had not bathed for almost a week.
However, as soon as he jumped in, he suddenly felt his abdomen swell. It made him feel a stuffy and dry sensation in his throat, as if something was about to spurt out of his stomach.
Could it be that the blood clots in his body had not been completely discharged, or that he had practiced the Crouching Tiger Fist wrongly? According to the old man, the Crouching Tiger Fist was a firm and fierce style. The biggest difference between it and other fist techniques was that it did not have many feints and lacked stamina. If the aura in the body dissipated, one had to stop. One must not blindly practice it forcefully, or it would easily hurt the abdomen and lungs. Xu Lei had always followed this rule. Every time he reached his limit, he would immediately stop. Logically speaking, he would not have made a mistake. Besides, he didn't feel any pain in his abdomen. He just felt bloated. He really didn't know what was going on.
Now, this kind of pain had become a routine. He carefully sensed his body and felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. He forcefully suppressed the malice and carefully cleaned his body with his claws. After practicing the Crouching Tiger Fist, he took a cold shower. His body felt indescribably refreshed.
