Chapter 9: Nie Feng's Growth
After Paul rescued the Nie Feng siblings, he knew that there was no place for the siblings in the Hanjia Empire, so he took the siblings through the Amster Alliance overnight and hid in the Death Mountains through the Frankish Kingdom. With the strong strength of the Paul Sword Saint, as well as the food stored in the space ring left by Mu Chengfeng and all the property of the Chengfeng mercenary group, after two months of fighting, the three of them brought their own territory near the center of the Death Mountain Range, and the low-level demonic beasts did not dare to step into the territory for half a step, and the high-level demonic beasts also acquiesced to the existence of this small barren land.www.biquge.info
It turned out that living in this area was a ninth-level dark demonic beast saber-toothed tiger, and even the sword saint in his heyday had no way to take him. Fortunately, God has eyes, before Paul brought Nie Feng and Xiaoya to come, the saber-toothed tiger and another ninth-level demonic beast, the Red Flame Lion, fought for territory, and although they won in the end, they were also seriously injured. At first, the saber-toothed tiger tried to scare the three of Paul away, but the cunning Paul went back and found that the saber-toothed tiger was seriously injured. But the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention the ninth-level demonic beast with life-saving skills, Paul weighed it again and again and decided to take the saber-toothed tiger. Although the saber-toothed tiger was injured, it was more alert than in its heyday, and Paul's sneak attack did not work, and in the end, after three hours of hard fighting, he killed the saber-toothed tiger when his life-saving skills and the Red Flame Lion were exhausted. After this battle, the area around the saber-toothed tiger's den was scorched, and Paul was wounded.
At the end of the war, Paul meditated to heal his wounds, and by the way, he was on guard, and the Nie Feng brother and sister were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. After cleaning up the battlefield, Paul took the Nie Feng brother and sister to settle their home in the cave where the saber-toothed tiger used to live. After Paul entered the cave first to confirm that there was no danger, Nie Feng took Xiao Ya to enter. Nie Feng and Xiao Ya cleaned up a clean place in the cave, first pounced on licorice on the lowest layer, and then spread a fur blanket on the upper layer, so that Paul could rest and heal first, and then the two of them then cleaned up the bones of the demonic beasts in the cave.
After a few days of rest, coupled with the treatment of Xiaoya's insignificant primary healing technique, Paul has fully recovered from his injuries in the last big battle. In the past few days, Nie Feng practiced the Flame Fighting Qi according to the mantras and cultivation methods taught by Paul, and in addition to cultivation, he was familiar with the surrounding environment without leaving the cave too far, and practiced survival skills in the wilderness by the way. Xiao Ya is naturally affinity for magic elements, so the cultivation of magic, especially light magic, is very fast, because it is still in the stage of laying the foundation, plus there are magic books and notes left by her mother Liya, and she is not in a hurry to find a teacher to teach her at this stage. Now Xiaoya is following Paul to read and write, and at the same time practicing by herself.
In order to allow Nie Feng and Xiaoya to survive better in the future, Paul has very strict requirements for Nie Feng's cultivation. As long as it is dawn, he has to get up and run ten kilometers in the woods, Nie Feng is struggling at first, it can only be completed in a morning, and he often comes back with bruises all over his body, but Nie Feng has never complained, he always let his sister treat him a little, rest for one night, and put himself into training the next day. A month later, Nie Feng was able to walk on the ground in the forest. To the south of the saber-toothed tiger's territory was a forest of ironwood trees, which were as hard as iron, and after Paul had finished running, he told him to cut down an ironwood tree with his strength alone. In the first few weeks, Nie Feng could only leave a few traces on the trunk of the ironwood tree for a day, but as he practiced the fire fighting spirit and ice heart technique every night, he finally spent a day cutting down the first ironwood tree in the second month, and when Nie Feng carried the cut down ironwood tree back to the cave, his sister Xiaoya saw it and cheered, just like what she had cut down, and also added a special meal at night, and roasted a low-level demonic beast wind antelope to reward the eldest brother Nie Feng. Before Nie Feng could recover from the joy of cutting down the ironwood tree, Paul added another practice to him, which was to swim ten round trips to a river not far from his territory. This river is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Amu Darya, because it flows in the mountains, the water is turbulent, and there is a low-level demonic beast in the river, the whole body is cyan, the fish body is long and narrow, and there is a certain aggression. Nie Feng went into the water for the first time, and was washed away by the turbulent water as soon as he entered the water, fortunately Paul quickly fished Nie Feng out of the water, with this lesson, Paul made a 100-meter rope with rattan for Nie Feng's safety, tied Nie Feng at one end, and tied to the big tree on the shore with the other. After being washed away again and again, Nie Feng finally reached the opposite shore in the second week, and in another month he could swim five round trips before sunset, and in the second month he completed all ten round-trips.
Xiao Ya's profession is a magician, and Paul doesn't know anything about his cultivation methods in this regard, and he doesn't train Xiao Ya like he trained Nie Feng, so he had to let Xiao Ya read and learn by herself. After settling down in the Death Mountain Range, Xiaoya spent most of her time meditating, accumulating magic power, and by chance, Xiaoya found that the water element was very close to her when she was playing by the river, so she recited the spell of the first-level water magic water ball technique recorded in the magic notes left by her mother Liya, and she didn't want to really succeed, so Xiaoya had two kinds of magic power, light and water, but fortunately, Liya left an introductory cultivation book on water magic in the space ring, so that Xiaoya could practice on her own. However, the magic books left by Liya are all middle-level and lower-level magic books, and although the three of them have a foothold in the Death Mountains, they are still in danger everywhere. In order not to let Paul's grandfather and brother worry that Xiao Ya gave up the play that a child should have, and used all the time to practice magic, under this motivation, coupled with Xiao Ya's high talent, the magic element of the Death Mountain Range is very active, Xiao Ya's entry is very fast, in the year when she was five years old, that is, in the second year of entering the Death Mountain Range, the low-level light and water magic have been mastered by Xiao Ya and used freely, which makes Paul can't help but shout genius.
Nie Feng's hard cultivation in the past two years has also shown good results, the Flame Fighting Qi has been cultivated to the third layer, and now his strength has the strength of a high-level warrior, if he adds the Ice Heart Technique that he has been cultivating, it will not be a problem for Nie Feng to escape when he encounters a great swordsman. Two years of training also made him much stronger than children of the same age.
If Nie Feng's current strength is placed in the human world, he is definitely a top-notch existence among his peers, but in the crisis-ridden Death Mountain Range, the Great Swordsman is equivalent to the level of fifth-level demonic beasts, and there are countless demonic beasts higher than the fifth level in the Death Mountain Range, and there are even more below the fifth-level existence, not to mention that the strength represented by the ninth-level or super ninth-level existence cannot be measured by quantity. Therefore, before Nie Feng did not have absolute strength, Paul would always be vigilant when Nie Feng was training. The cave where they live now turned out to be the lair of the ninth-level demonic beast saber-toothed tiger, and generally the demonic beasts below the ninth-level were naturally afraid of existences stronger than themselves and did not dare to set foot in a single step; Demonic beasts of level nine or super ninth have their own territory, plus the sabertooth tiger is a dark demonic beast, which is disliked by other elemental demonic beasts, and there are no bordering level nine and above demonic beasts around; The Red Flame Lion who fought with the Sabertooth Tiger was a demonic beast that had just been promoted to the ninth level, because the territory of the Death Mountain Range had basically been divided, and the new ninth-level demonic beasts had to challenge the old-timers, and the saber-toothed tiger was unlucky, and its territory was closest to the Red Flame Lion. However, the probability of such a thing is very small, it is a hurdle for the eighth level to cross the ninth level, otherwise the ninth-level demonic beasts of the Death Mountain Range would have been everywhere long ago. So Xiao Ya was safe to stay in the cave, but Paul and Nie Feng still didn't dare to go too far away from the exercise.
There are no years in the mountains, year after year, Xiao Ya is already six years old, and after Xiao Ya finished meditating on this day, she found that Paul and Nie Feng had gone out to practice and had not returned. Now there is still a period of time before cooking, Xiao Ya is bored and wants to go out, the territory of the saber-toothed tiger is very big for Xiao Ya, as long as she doesn't go too far, it shouldn't matter, just go out to find some spices to prepare for the next lunch. When Nie Feng was eight years old, in addition to the previous training, he also had to fight with a fourth-level demonic beast every day, so their ingredients were often Nie Feng's trophies, and in the past three years in the mountains, the brother and sister's wild survival skills and barbecue skills were master, and Paul had never eaten his own barbecue since the brother and sister learned to barbecue. Preparing lunch and dinner is a daily homework for Xiaoya.
Xiao Yabi is a lot more sensible than her peers, but she is still a six-year-old girl, seeing flowers all over the mountains, on a whim, she forgets the direction and time when she plays, and gradually runs out of the territory of the saber-toothed tiger.
Nie Feng and Paul, who came back from the battle at noon, took a wind antelope and came back to prepare it as an ingredient for lunch.
"Xiaoya, we're back, look at what good things we fought today" Nie Feng shouted loudly into the cave at a long distance from the cave, urging his sister to come and see what good things he brought back. But there was no movement after shouting for a long time, and usually Xiaoya couldn't wait to run out when she heard the shouting.
"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, are you there?" Nie Feng felt that something was wrong, threw down the wind antelope, and sped up to run towards the cave, and Paul, who was standing behind Nie Feng and was originally smiling, also felt strange, and dodged into the cave.
"Grandpa Paul, is Xiaoya here?" When Nie Feng ran into the cave, he saw Paul with his back to him, so he asked out loud. Paul didn't speak, Nie Feng's mind was a weng at that time, he ran around Paul and ran inside, and looked at every corner like crazy and didn't see Xiao Ya's figure, Paul saw this situation and immediately stepped forward to hold down the excited Nie Feng: "Calm down, there are no traces of fighting in the cave, no traces of large demonic beasts coming in and out, and no bloodstains, Xiao Ya is not in danger." Hearing this, Nie Feng calmed down, and his heart relaxed slightly.
