Volume 2 Iron Tree Hall Chapter 178 The Alliance of the Twelve
The pace of the Ming Ritual has remained the same, and some people even feel a little slow, but they don't dare to make a mistake and obediently follow behind.
However, after walking for half a month, everyone found that their physical strength was a little unable to keep up, twelve hours a day, except for four hours of sleeping and one hour of three meals together, the remaining seven hours were walking, if you were tired, you could rest, but you had to catch up before the next day.
In the Yuanbu grassland, there is plenty of food, and you can dig up food anywhere to satisfy your hunger and replenish your strength, so there is still some time to rest, but after leaving the Yuanbu grassland, things have changed.
Except for Sima Shuo, who took precautions and installed some round divination in the book in advance, after the others entered the mountain, they had to find food on their own, so that they had no time to rest, and sometimes they couldn't even find food, so gradually their physical strength began to be exhausted, and they could only support their bodies step by step and follow far behind the team.
Huopu glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and said, "If this continues, some people will have to be left behind." ”
Ming Xi smiled and said, "That's their business, it has nothing to do with you and me." ”
This is the last test of Tieshutang's entry into the hall for these little guys, self-reliance, and at the same time a kind of exercise.
His fixed pace seems to be not fast, but it is the same all the way, maintaining a constant state, this is the distribution of physical energy and the exercise of endurance, if it is not the marrow refining realm, it is difficult to follow all the way easily, so it is also an exercise of willpower.
It's just that these don't mean much to Sima Shuo and his gang, although they are a little tired, but they are used to exercising on Wangjue Peak, and hunting is also commonplace, so it is not difficult for a few people at all, so they are the most comfortable and calm along the way.
This made Huo Pu more convinced of his previous opinion, so he was even more angry, and Ming Xi had to pretend that he didn't see it, and hurried silently, trying not to provoke her.
On the second day after entering the mountains, Tang Bao and Ming Shiyu both found Sima Shuo and wanted them to teach them the skills of hunting.
Tang Lanyu took Tang Hua and Tang Gui to find Chan Xin and Wolf Guo, and the five of them quickly reached a consensus, worked together, and read the difficulty.
However, the effect is not very good, and they lack knowledge and experience in this area, so they can only barely mix up three points.
Every day, looking at Sima Shuo's big fish and meat, roasted with fire, stewed with water, Xuhui is skillful, and learned a lot of new fancy styles from the ancestral land of the golden-eyed rabbit, Sima Shuo also helped bring some spices, plus the aroma is overflowing, smelling Ming Xi and Huo Pu are a little moved, but they are embarrassed to eat because of their face.
Toad Xin swallowed her saliva when she saw it, glanced at the four people on her side, and said angrily: "Look at the people, look at you again, hum." ”
The four of them looked at each other, and Tang Hua retorted: "They just happened to learn this, what's the big deal." ”
Tang Gui echoed: "Yes, it's just that we haven't learned, if we have learned, we must be better than these hillbillies." ”
Toad Xin laughed angrily at the two of them, and she didn't bother to count these two little children.
Tang Lanyu suddenly stood up and walked towards Sima Shuo and the others, Tang Hua said angrily: "What did you do in the past? Begging for something to eat with someone? ”
The wolf didn't even look at him, and said calmly: "Since you can't learn, there is still a long way to go." ”
Tang Lanyu smiled and said, "That makes sense." ”
Then he also stood up and followed towards Sima Shuo and the others.
Tang Gui was still a little hesitant, but Toad Xin had already gotten up, leaving only Tang Hua and Tang Gui looking at each other.
Tang Gui asked, "Can't get by?"
Tang Hua glanced at Sima Shuo and the others, and said angrily: "I want to go to you." ”
For his sister's failure to pass the selection, Tang Hua attributed most of the reasons to Sima Shuo and his gang, so he was very prejudiced against them.
Tang Gui shrugged his shoulders, also stood up, thought about it and sat down again, and sighed.
Tang Hua asked strangely, "Why don't you go?"
Tang Gui lay on the ground, pillowed his hands, yawned and said, "Forget it, that is, it is not full, and it is not that there is no food." ”
Tang Hua smiled: "Good brother." ”
Tang Gui tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled.
After a while, Sima Shuo walked over, Tang Hua patted Tang Gui, Tang Gui opened his eyes and looked at him, Tang Hua pointed, Tang Gui looked over and immediately sat up.
Sima Shuo smiled: "So afraid of me?"
Tang Hua said stiffly: "Who is afraid of you? I just don't know what conspiracy you have." ”
Sima Shuo sat down by himself and handed each of them a golden round cloth, which he had stored in the book basket when he came out of the Yuanbu grassland.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, he shook his way and said, "Take it, it's what you owe me, and I'll pay it back when I have it later." ”
Tang Gui frowned and said, "Doesn't this mean that I owe you a personal favor?"
Tang Hua suddenly realized: "I see, you think it is beautiful, take it back, we don't want it." ”
Sima Shuo also simply, without much persuasion, directly retracted it, and said to himself: "Save, anyway, the road after that is still very long, I have been hungry and will have to fall behind sooner or later, and I can't get to Tieshutang, it's useless." ”
He stood up and patted his buttocks, then turned around and was about to leave.
Tang Hua suddenly snatched the round cloth and pouted: "This is our golden-eyed rabbit's round cloth, you, this is just a thing to return to its original owner." ”
After speaking, he handed one to Tang Gui and said, "I'll treat you to eat." ”
Faced with such a crooked reasoning, Sima Shuo just smiled and got up to leave.
Returning to the campfire and sitting down, Ming Shiyu was puzzled: "Is this necessary?"
Sima Shuo said indifferently: "It's just a gesture." ”
He really didn't think that Tang Hua and Tang Gui would have any rewards in the future, similar to doing a good deed every day, and he didn't care about this little thing at all.
Ming Shiyu still didn't believe it, and asked again, "Is there really no plan?"
Yue Ling'er wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Shuo is a very good person, he often helps people, and he never cares about what he doesn't reciprocate." ”
Wolf Guo rolled his eyes, he didn't believe it.
Toad Xin filled the bonfire with a dead branch and said, "It's not easy to be a good person, and you don't live long." ”
Xu Hui pursed his lips and retorted: "Brother Shuo has a big life, and he is extremely smart, so he won't have a short life." ”
Ao Xuan said coldly: "I'll bite him to death." ”
Tang Bao was puzzled: "Who did you bite to death?"
Ao Xuan didn't explain, continued to eat, Sima Shuo said: "The road after that shouldn't always be so simple, we need to unite in order to better deal with it." ”
Tang Bao took the lead in saying: "It is naturally better to work alone than to work together, so I joined." ”
What is unexpected is that the second one who agreed was not Ming Shiyu, but Wolf Guo, and said bluntly: "Count me in." ”
Toad Xin gave him a fierce look and asked him what was going on, but the wolf did not hide it, explaining, "It's good for everyone." ”
Sima Shuo praised: "Wise. ”
Later, everyone else agreed to Sima Shuo's plan one after another, and then helped each other all the way through the difficulties together, pointing directly to Tieshutang.
In the end, only Tang Hua and Tang Gui, who were 'unsociable', were left, and everyone looked at the two of them, the two hesitated for a while, nodded slightly, and reluctantly agreed.
"Then let's come and eat together. Yue Ling'er beckoned.
As if they hadn't heard, the two of them were eating the round cloth by themselves, Tang Lanyu coughed twice, and said, "Since you have agreed, let's come over together." ”
Tang Hua didn't want to hear it anymore, so he slowly stood up, Tang Gui also stood up, and Toad Xin and Wolf Guo gave up a little place for the two.
This was the first time the twelve people had gathered together along the way, and the atmosphere was a little stiff, no one spoke, and they each ate in silence.
In the end, it was Sima Shuo who took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Please cooperate more and get through this last hurdle together." ”
"Get through the last hurdle together. Xuhui was the first to answer, followed by Yue Ling'er, Ao Xuan, Ming Shiyu, Tang Bao, and then all shouted together.
Ming Ci smiled: "It's not bad." ”
Huopu smiled rarely, nodded and said, "It should be much smoother after that." ”
