#129 - Crossing the River with a Reed
The main body was round, like a soccer ball, with the lens and monitor diagonally opposite each other on either side of the sphere, and a seemingly simple bamboo dragonfly-style wing on top.
This was the all-terrain, fully automatic, voice-activated camcorder that someone had bought for 1000 points, which had eliminated the pixel module display design and could focus on any scene within a ten-kilometer radius.
Moreover, just by basking in the sun, it could achieve a balance between power supply and demand~
As soon as this item was put on the shelves, Liang Yue realized its precious value.
Although he didn't understand the operating principle that maintained its focusing and camera functions, he didn't need to worry about that at all.
As long as it works, right~?
On the way, relying on the spherical camera in his hand, Liang Yue monitored Thorin's dwarf expeditionary squad in real-time while wandering around the periphery of the team.
He always maintained a safe distance of six or seven kilometers from them, which could guarantee harmony between the two sides, and also allow him to provide rescue at critical moments, or to seize their opportunities along the way one step ahead without anyone noticing.
Ouye~
This camera, which was about the size of a soccer ball, naturally had good flying ability, as well as a tracking and positioning device, which could ensure that it maintained contact with the user at all times, whether in flight or underwater.
But Liang Yue felt that he didn't need to turn on these functions at all now, holding it in his hand could also achieve all the operations, and it was also convenient to check the display.
And it saves power… …
Unlike Thorin, Gandalf, and the others who were riding horses, Liang Yue was relying on his own two feet to travel.
After the system's time acceleration, the horses in the stronghold world had already formed a scale, but he abandoned them now.
It was to exercise his own skills and techniques as much as possible~

I don't know if it's because the energy attributes in the air of this Hobbit world are more active, and there is a system of magic and other mysterious sides.
Since Liang Yue came here, the efficiency of cultivation has also been improved a lot without knowing it.
His cultivation is still the same as before, how he practiced in the stronghold world, he is still doing it as usual, but the effects produced between the two places are indeed quite different.
This difference is especially reflected in the two skills 《Primordial Unity Skill》 and 《Crossing the River on a Reed》, which involve internal cultivation techniques.
Needless to say, 《Primordial Unity Skill》 was originally an authentic internal cultivation method in the Taoist lineage, and what it mainly cultivates is internal strength.
And 《Crossing the River on a Reed》, this lightness skill, actually also involves the exercise of internal cultivation techniques, and forms its own unique operating system.
The first two levels of this Buddhist lightness skill are considered the normal basic entry stage of the skill, only involving some steps and the exercise of body usage skills.
But once this skill is promoted to the third level, it will officially enter the field of internal power application.
Therefore, on the system panel, a new mid-air re-movement attribute will be added, and a certain amount of internal strength needs to be consumed to activate it.
The real reason for this is that when this lightness skill is cultivated to the third level, a meridian will be opened in each of the cultivator's legs.
Under the urging of internal strength, it will produce a short-term, similar to a double jump, mid-air re-movement effect.
After having this brand-new fresh experience, coupled with his physical fitness far surpassing ordinary people, Liang Yue even had the illusion of daring to compete with the heavens for height for a while.
Previously, in the stronghold world, unless it was necessary, otherwise, under normal circumstances, this guy had always been using the method of walking on walls when going up and down the library.
Of course, due to the initial lack of proficiency in using lightness skills, facing the height difference of more than sixty meters, Liang Yue would consume about one-half of his total internal strength every time he walked back and forth.
This made him sigh that his cultivation was insufficient and he needed to work harder, and he also deeply felt the importance of having abundant internal strength.
So, when he discovered that the environment of the Hobbit world in front of him seemed to have an extraordinary boosting effect on his cultivation, Liang Yue also secretly made a decision.
That is, to use the advantages of this world as quickly as possible to improve the cultivation of internal strength and lightness skills to a higher level!
“Step~ Step~ Brush~! ”
In the quiet jungle, Liang Yue at this time seemed to have transformed into a lithe leopard.
He leaped up, stepping on the tree trunks, wading through the vines, the whole person constantly shuttling between the cluttered trees.
He was like a shadow, walking between the sunlight and the shadows of the trees, light and agile, going high and low, rising and falling, and in a few breaths, he had already crossed the uneven hills and streams.
He was like a gust of wind, leaping and turning, accompanied by falling leaves, racing with flying birds, leaving only a faint sound of wind wherever he passed.
The branches waved to him, the petals danced for him, and the beams of light from the dense branches were rippling colorfully for him.
At this moment, he spun, he jumped, he closed his eyes… …
Then, without being able to continue this unrestrained posture for a moment, he stopped~
Standing on a sturdy tree trunk, his chest heaving, he kept panting.
There was no way, although his physical fitness could cover this seemingly carefree, but actually energy-consuming exercise, Liang Yue's internal strength could not last too long.
Under the drag of this little short leg, this guy can only slowly adjust and adapt, and then look forward to its growth and continuous flowering and fruiting.
Although Liang Yue at this time has made great progress compared to the time when he first practiced 《Crossing the River on a Reed》, internal strength will always only decrease the more it is used~
“Unless you can get the legendary 《Lingbo Microstep》, then you can ensure that the internal strength does not decrease but increases in the process of performing lightness skills, otherwise, you can only honestly grind a little bit~”
“But it’s also good, although 《Crossing the River on a Reed》 consumes internal strength quickly, 《Primordial Unity Skill》 replenishes it not slowly, especially in this plane.
The internal strength that originally took two or three hours to fill up in the stronghold world can now be done in less than half an hour, the difference between this is simply too great! ”
“And in this back and forth, I’m not just doing useless work, the proficiency of the skill has also been rising steadily, this feeling is so cool~! ”
