After listening to Qi Rong'er's explanation, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but shudder, he looked at Qi Rong'er, took a breath of cold air and said: "Your big family's style of acting is really cruel and ruthless, even more terrifying than demons. ”

"Hey, pure young man, this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you were to see them all, you would find that the demons were so cute. Qi Rong'er sneered.

"You, are you dangerous?" Zhang Xiaopu asked as he stared at Qi Rong'er, and couldn't help but worry about her. Maybe it's because Qi Rong'er really treats him as a friend, and unconsciously, he also treats Qi Rong'er as a friend.

"You care about me?" Qi Rong'er didn't answer the rhetorical question, looking very happy.

Zhang Xiaopu did not answer directly, but asked: "If I were your servant and went to the island with you, could I help you?"

"You?" Qi Rong'er glanced at Zhang Xiaopaw up and down, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said, "Your battle gate is congenitally blocked, so don't make trouble for me." ”

"Understood. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded.

Qi Rong'er opened her mouth, stopped talking, and finally sighed secretly in her heart. She had seen Zhang Xiaopu's combat power, far surpassing those servants in her family, if Zhang Xiaopaw was willing to be her servant, it would be a super combat power, which would at least increase her survival rate on the isolated island by ten percent. If it was yesterday, she would definitely agree without thinking about it, but at this moment, for some reason, she didn't want this friend she had just made to accompany her in danger. Maybe it's because Zhang Xiaopaw is her first friend.

"I will go to Baiyun City to find you before the spring equinox next year, and if you still feel that I am a drag at that time, I will not go to the island with you. Zhang Xiaopaw was silent for a while, and then suddenly broke the silence and said.

"Okay, okay!" Qi Rong'er only felt that there was a stream of heat blocking her throat and eyes, her nose was also sour, and her eye circles were a little moist, so she hurriedly pinned her head to the side, not wanting Zhang Xiaopaw to see it.

"Have you eaten enough? When we have enough, we will continue on our way. Zhang Xiaopaw asked.

"I'm full. I'm going to have to tire you up again. Qi Rong'er responded, the latter sentence was a little weak-hearted, but she really couldn't bear the feeling of safety and warmth that was carried by someone, and she couldn't extricate herself from it.

Zhang Xiaopaw tied the three-foot short sword around his waist and joked: "You are not as heavy as this three-foot sword, and you can't feel the weight at all when you carry it." ”

After that, he squatted down in front of Qi Rong'er and carried her to his back.

Zhang Xiaopaw carried Qi Rong'er over the mountains and mountains, galloping all the way, running wildly in the northeast direction. He is very sure of his ability to discern the direction, because he has never been lost in the mountains and forests since he was a child, so he is very sure that Shuanglonggou is in this direction.

However, until the sun slipped to the west mountain, Zhang Xiaopu did not see the shadow of Shuanglonggou.

He climbed to the top of a mountain and looked ahead, only to see the mountains undulating and endless. Looking to the left and right, there is no end to the vast mountains. He couldn't help but feel like he was in a trance, as if he had not moved far from the depths of the Black Forest, but had gone deeper.

"Did you run in the wrong direction?" Zhang Xiaopao had to wonder if he had lost his way.

"You put me down. Qi Rong'er said.

Qi Rong'er got off the ground, didn't continue to pretend to be weak, first stretched her joints and limbs, and then pursed her lips and smiled at Zhang Xiaopai Yingying, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for taking care of her, the little girl's body has recovered." Great virtue and great grace, dare not forget, there will be heavy gratitude in the future. ”

"It's good that you're recovered, no thanks. Zhang Xiaopaw waved his hand.

Qi Rong'er nodded, then looked at the sun slanting to the west, stretched out her hand and gestured again, as if to discern the direction, and finally said: "Our direction is correct, maybe because of the delay in the speed of travel behind my back, so it is a little shorter." It's getting dark, so why don't we find a place to rest for the night, and then continue on our way after dawn tomorrow? And you're out looking for food, so you can't go back empty-handed, right? I'll help you hunt some prey after dawn tomorrow, and take it home for you to honor your mother. ”

"Okay. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded in agreement, he really needed to hunt some prey to go back, and said: "There is still a period of time before dark, let's continue to walk a distance, go down this mountain and go to the valley to find a resting place, if we can find a place with water, it would be the best." Find some food along the way, preferably catch a few prey, I haven't eaten meat for two days, and my mouth is fading out. ”

"Well, that's what you say. Qi Rong'er readily agreed.

In fact, they didn't eat meat for two days, not because they couldn't catch their prey, but because they deliberately avoided eating meat, because the picture of the black giant ape tearing human flesh had a great impact on their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel their stomachs churning at the thought of eating meat. Now that I have slowed down for two days, I am too tired to run around continuously, and I can't replenish my physical strength by eating wild fruits alone, and I urgently need to eat meat to replenish my energy.

The two were lucky, and on the way down the mountain caught a goat, which was very fat, weighing almost 200 pounds. As Zhang Xiaopaw said, everything in the Black Forest is bigger than the outside, and so is this goat.

At the foot of the mountain, a clear stream trickles, with fish jumping out of the water from time to time, and flowers and trees on both sides of the stream are vigorous, and the effects of the drought are completely unseen. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have imagined that the outside of the mountain has been cut off, and the earth is about to be baked into scorched earth, while the inside of the mountain is still beautiful, warm and pleasant. It can be described as a strange scene.

Making a fire and barbecue, Zhang Xiaopaw thought that Qi Rong'er, a noble lady who didn't touch the spring water with her two fingers, couldn't help much, but Qi Rong'er was more skilled than him, a wild boy who often wandered in the mountains, picking up firewood, chopping wood, making fires, setting up fires, making simple grills, etc., all of which could be. This made him have to believe what Qi Rong'er said, the children of the big family are indeed versatile.

A fat sheep, Qi Rong'er ate about two catties, and the rest all went into Zhang Xiaopaw's stomach.

Qi Rong'er glanced at Zhang Xiaopaw's stomach from time to time, endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back, staring at Zhang Xiaopaw's belly that had eaten a whole sheep but only bulging slightly, and asked, "Where did you eat the meat?"

"I don't know, I just feel that the meat is gone in the stomach, as if there is a deep pit in the stomach, and I can't fill it no matter how I fill it. It's not what you might think, I don't have any special exercises. You are well-informed, have you ever seen or heard of my situation?" Zhang Xiaopaw replied truthfully, and asked Qi Rong'er rhetorically, although his body did not have a bad reaction, he couldn't eat enough after eating so much at one time, which made him very distressed.

Qi Rong'er's cheeks couldn't help but redden, thinking that night, it turned out that the reason why Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly ran away was because he heard their conversation, and it was really embarrassing to mention it at this time.

"Unheard of. Qi Rong'er shook her head and asked, "Have you been like this since you were a child?"

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but be happy, and said: "Hehe, if you can eat like this since you were a child, I'm afraid you will eat the whole village poor." It's the recent sudden mutation, the night the Wolf King met you. ”

"How do you feel?" Qi Rong'er asked.

"I feel hungry all over my body, from the tips of my hair to the tips of my toes, and the bottom of my stomach instantly turns into a hot stream, and the heat flow will flow to all parts of my body to fill those parts that are waiting to be fed. Can you understand how I describe it?" Zhang said.

"Very vivid. Qi Rong'er cocked her thumb, frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "If you don't have other uncomfortable reactions, it's not a bad thing." You might as well try it by following our cultivation method of breaking through the battle gate. Oh, I forgot, your cultivation method is different from ours, and I guess I don't know how we broke through the battle gate, it's okay, and listen to me in detail. ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaopaw clasped his fists and said gratefully, in the past two days of getting along, Qi Rong'er has taught him a lot of knowledge, even if he calls her "Master", it is not an exaggeration.

When night fell, the stars gradually appeared in the sky, Qi Rong'er pillowed her hands, lay on the grass, and explained to Zhang Xiaopu while admiring the stars in the night sky: "Cultivation is actually a process of breaking through the limits of the human body. The Gate of Force, as the name suggests, is the Gate of Strength. If you want to open the door of power, your body must first have enough strength, otherwise as soon as the door of force is opened, the power will come out, but you will burst your body first, isn't it a big joke. And if you want to increase your physical strength, you need to achieve it through continuous hard training. The method of cultivation is also very simple, that is, keep doing physical training, and when the strength is exhausted, supplemented by pills to quickly recover physical strength, and then train and consume it, and the cycle will start again, the body will become stronger and stronger, and when it reaches a certain limit, the force gate will be opened naturally. ”

"It's so easy to break through the force gate?" Zhang Xiaopaw was a little surprised, feeling that as long as it wasn't like him, the battle gate was congenitally blocked, and anyone could do it.

"It can also be said to be simple, provided that you have enough cultivation resources. Qi Rong'er said, "If there is no cultivation resources to assist, such a high-intensity exercise for ten consecutive days can refine a person with a strong physique." ”

"Yes. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"When you feel hungry in every part of your body, you are actually thirsting for energy, and the food you eat in your stomach instantly becomes a heat stream, which is instantly decomposed and digested, and becomes energy to fill the needs of various parts of your body. I mean you might as well learn our training method of breaking through the power gate, do high-intensity training every day to empty your body, and then supplement the body's consumption by eating or supplemented with pills, and then train, and so on, your physical strength will definitely reach a very terrifying realm. It's just that, with your level of consumption, I'm afraid you'll need a huge amount of cultivation resources to support it. It's okay, I'll help you. Qi Rong'er said.

"You better put all your energy and resources into surviving the island next year. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"Okay. When I come down from the island alive, I'll help you. Qi Rong'er said with a smile.

As soon as Qi Rong'er's words fell, Zhang Xiaopu suddenly jumped up to the ground, holding a three-foot short sword, and looked in one direction vigilantly.

Qi Rong'er was startled, hurriedly got up, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"It's not a beast, I hear someone shouting for help. Zhang Xiaopaw replied in a low voice, "It sounds like a woman." ”
