Chapter 8: The Fire Rises

Intelligence here refers to the literal meaning, which refers to people's ability to recognize and understand objective things and use knowledge and experience to solve problems, including memory, observation, imagination, thinking, judgment, etc., and refers to the ability to recognize and understand objective things and use knowledge and experience to solve problems.

In other cases, Sean is not particularly clear, but he has a deep feeling for memory, although he can't do it now, but it is not far away, just three times shorthand, he can easily recite anything he wants to memorize.

If he had this kind of perverted memory ability in his previous life, he would have captured all of Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Harvard and Cambridge.

Especially when the intelligence reached 2, something happened that made Sean feel very incredible.

Many things that have been forgotten by him are gradually being recalled, including those of the past life, this kind of recollection does not refer to a certain thing in general, but the details of all aspects of the matter, not only everything that happened at the beginning is vivid, but even many things that he did not notice before are restored in the brain.

Including a lot of knowledge that is just swept at a glance, when I first learned it, the high mathematics and physics problems in the clouds and fog, now in retrospect, there is no difficulty, everything is taken for granted.

Sean's brain is a bit of a supercomputer, and those memories are his internal storage, and the power of magic is far from being as simple as he thinks, affecting not only the body, but also the brain.

Will, on the other hand, is a more vague and abstract concept than intelligence, and its most manifest manifestation is willpower, which Sean usually sees as the ability for self-control, especially when it comes to plans created by the Brand of Fire.

If Sean has lazy thoughts, the will data is usually not too high, or the other way around, when the will data is not high, Sean is prone to lazy thoughts, and the relationship between the two is not causal, but symbiotic.

The meaning of perception is very wide, not limited to the eyes, the sense of touch and smell of the body are part of perception, including the sixth sense, the improvement of perception is clearly felt by the body, such as the eyes can see farther, the nose smell is more developed, and the sensations around the body are more sensitive.

Sometimes, Sean can vaguely feel the shape, color, and movement of an object behind him, believing that if the perception is raised to a certain level, people will lose their visual blind spots.

Sean loves the feeling of being in control of his body in real time, which gives him a deep sense of security.

"Tang, Tang, Tang, no, no, no, what a big smoke, coming out of the direction of the village. A half-sized boy who had gone out to drain the water hurriedly ran back, looking panicked.

"What?" Not only Sean and Marshall, but the other children rushed out, although most of the time, they didn't like to stay in the village, but it didn't mean that they didn't have feelings for the village.

"It's a village, yes, but it's not the wolf smoke that Phil put out, it's more like the village is on fire. Marshall affirmed.

"Well, got it, you guys sort it out here, I'll go take a look first. Sean returned to the hunter's hut without saying a word, and came out fully armed.

"Don't worry, we'll be there later. Marshall patted Sean the shoulder, "Don't be impulsive, think about them before you do anything." ”

After more than ten years of companionship, they have already figured out each other's tempers, and they all look calm and indifferent when they encounter anything Sean.

In fact, beneath the cold exterior lies lava-like boiling feelings, and most importantly, these are the days when Lady Elena is most likely to return to the village, as is her usual practice.

This can be seen from the location of the hunter's hut, when they chose the hunter's hut, they chose three points, compared to this point, the other two points have better geographical advantages and development space.

But Sean didn't even think about it, so he chose here, although he never explained, but those who knew him knew it, because here he could directly look down on the direction of the village, and if something happened, he could know it as soon as possible.

"Yes. When Marshall got an answer, Sean was already more than ten meters away.

"Please, Barton, take care of him, go. ”

"Wow!" Barton, the head dog, whispered a few times in response, and followed Sean with the hounds.

"Arnold, Aven, you two get ready, bring the mountain eagle, follow me to pick up Sean, the others stay to see the good house, even if you find the invaders, ignore them, retreat to the shelter as soon as possible, don't hear our code, don't come back." Marshall pinched the eldest half-grown boy hard and said, "Julian, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, even if we don't come back, take them to live well." ”

"Big Brother Marshall......"

"Brother Marshall, let's go together, we are together in life and death, and we will never be separated. ”

Hearing the last sentence, the tears that those half-grown children had been holding back for a long time could no longer hold back.

"What stupid things are you talking about!" Marshall slapped the fiercest half-grown man who cried heavily, "No matter what happens, you have to live well, Tang and I are both cat demons in the stories that Tang often tells, both have nine lives, and they won't die so easily, I don't want to wait for me to come back, but you have all become the feces of beasts." ”

"Oh, I didn't have time to say goodbye to Tang just now, if they can't come back, wouldn't it be ......"

"Don't say such frustrating words, Don is so smart, so powerful, but the giant bear hunter who can hunt the giant bear alone, it will be fine, our task now is to guard the house, there are a lot of Tang treasures here, if it is broken, he will die of distress." ”

"I almost forgot, we should activate the defensive trap first, this is what Tang has repeatedly emphasized before, if he comes back and finds that the trap has not been activated, he will definitely be unhappy. ”

"Yes, yes, we can't let Don down. ”

"During this period of Tang's absence, we must also eat well, study hard, train hard, and strive to help Tang as soon as possible. ”

A group of young teenagers encourage each other and get busy, and in this way they want to forget their biggest fear - that Sean Don and Marshall may never come back.

......

Sean was fast, so fast that he could hear the mountain wind whistling in his ears.

In the past, he liked the feeling of running in the mountain road very much, he could clearly feel the pulse of the heart in the body, and even the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels, the exuberant vitality was so wonderful, when running to the extreme, the mind seemed to be empty.

But today is different, Sean has never felt that this road is so long, obviously he has been running for a long time, but he has not run far, is it because he has been doing strength training recently, and his speed has regressed?

Sean was very clear-headed, knowing that this was just his own illusion, not only did his speed not regress, but even increased slightly, and the real-time monitoring of the Fire Brand would not deceive him.

He knew very well that his current state was very wrong, and his behavior pattern had been influenced by the excessive hormones secreted in his body.

If it was usual, he would have tried to calm himself down, but today he didn't want to do anything but follow his instincts, maybe he knew what he would face when he calmed down - powerlessness and fear of death.

He also knew very well that even if he rushed to the village now, it would be useless, because the defense of the village he was in was not weak, there were seven Condor Shooters alone, not to mention the young and strong Andes Hunters, there were as many as thirty people.

Usually, even if you go out hunting, it is also a rotational nature, and there will always be one-third of the young and strong people stationed in the village, not to mention that the folk customs of the mountain people living in the poor mountains and bad waters have always been strong, even women and children have a certain combat effectiveness.

Who will attack a village, and who will have the ability to attack a village?

As for the beasts, Sean didn't think about it at all, there are indeed many fierce predators in the Andes Mountains, but in the diet of these predators, the Andes mountain people are only afraid to be at the bottom.

Even if there were attacks, most of them were in lonely hunter huts, and it was the middle of winter when food was scarce, and now it was autumn when food was at its most abundant, and even the most reckless Andes Giant Bear, if you didn't provoke it, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to you.

Could it be other Andes hill villages?

This possibility was quickly ruled out by Sean, and there were several surrounding villages that did have friction with their villages because of hunting grounds, water sources, woodlands, etc., but they were all trivial things, and many of them were solved in accordance with the old rules of the cottages, far from the point of armed conflict.

The most important thing is that the villages within a radius of dozens of miles know the existence of themselves and their mothers, and they have more or less seen them, and they have a sense of medical care, in the eyes of these mountain people, warlocks and witch doctors are equal, and they can pass the existence of ghosts and gods, only the part of awe, and there is absolutely no part of taking the initiative to provoke.

Then there is only one remaining possibility - people outside the mountain.

And there is only one kind of person who dares to risk being attacked by wild beasts and mountain people, and enters the mountains - slave hunters.

This speculation made Sean cold.

Although Sean is a pure-blooded Andes Mountain Citizen, he actually doesn't have too deep a racial concept in his heart.

Because since he was born, his body is filled with a mature soul, and his sense of belonging is naturally much thinner, plus he has read a lot of classics in this world in the past ten years, including the history of this world, whether it is the Andes mountain people in the mountain or the Byron Federation people outside the mountain.

In fact, three hundred years ago, they were a family, both of them were from the Andes Empire, but one was the aristocratic class and the other was the commoner class, and now the geographical separation, cultural inheritance, lifestyle, skin color and appearance, etc., have gradually become two completely different races.

Without racial prejudice, Sean naturally can't talk about liking or disliking people outside the mountain, anyway, it's just a group of strangers.

But there is a group of people outside the mountain that Sean hates deeply, that is, slave hunters, this group of people is a group of demons in human skin, and they are only afraid that they are also famous scum criminals outside the mountain, and they have only one purpose in the mountains - burning, killing and looting.

They don't let go of anything of value, among which the young and strong Andes mountain people are one of their most important goods.
