Chapter 2: Mr. Dragonblood

When the farmer bandaged his wounds, He Ming panted and asked the farmer, "Uncle, it didn't hurt you, what kind of monster is this?" ”

The farmer was a little embarrassed and said, "This is a brown-haired cat of ours, and it didn't just eat something, but it became like this after one night." When I first got bigger, I just had a bigger meal, but I didn't know that I was getting more and more irritable in a few days. ”

Feelings, this monster that almost killed me is your family! He Ming muttered in his heart and asked, "Then do you know that there are other people who have had this kind of thing?" ”

The farmer said, "Just recently, I heard a few stories about the scarecrow suddenly coming to life, and we thought it was a joke, so we didn't pay much attention to it. ”

Saying that the wounds on He Ming's body were bandaged, He Ming stood up and said to the farmer: "Uncle, this is no longer a trivial matter, please take the head of this hooked cat to the Ginkgo Valley, and inform Master Lei Duan, they will prepare countermeasures immediately if they have evidence." The farmer said, "Well, thank you, little brother, you are injured, go to my house and rest for a while." ”

He Ming shook his head: "Thank you, this little injury is not in the way, and I have urgent matters." After saying goodbye to the farmer, he continued along the road towards the west.

At noon, He Ming finally arrived at the border village. It's a small village by the sea, and since orcs have rarely approached the sea, it's almost the safest place in the whole of Beechcraft. Fishing and farming are also important resources to feed Beechcraft.

Even though it was only early summer, the sun was still burning the ground, and the heat made the wounds seep into sweat, making several of He Ming's wounds feel as if they were being roasted by fire. The battle had also consumed more physical strength than he had estimated, and by the time he reached the border village, his face was pale, and he looked weak and tired.

After inquiring about the location of Mr. Dragon's Blood at the entrance of the village, He Ming hurried to find him. Mr. Dragonblood's martial arts hall is next to a big tree in the southeast of the village, and just after noon, Mr. Dragon's Blood walked out of the martial arts hall and saw He Ming, who was dressed in a ginkgo valley costume, stumbling over. He couldn't help but be a little worried, and came up to him and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen in Ginkgo Valley? ”

When He Ming looked up, a middle-aged man of medium stature, full of energy, and very strong stood in front of him. Hurriedly took out the letter of introduction written by Master Lei Duan from his arms, and asked while handing it to him: "Hello! Excuse me, are you Mr. Dragonblood? ”

Mr. Dragonblood nodded slightly, took the letter, tore open the envelope and read it. Looking at the obvious change in his face, this is obviously a very bold person. After reading the letter, Mr. Dragon's Blood put the letter away, still smiled at He Ming, and when he was about to say something, He Ming couldn't be polite, and said to Mr. Dragon's Blood anxiously: "Mr. Dragonblood!" I have something to tell you! On the way here, I came across a monster with a mutated cat, which not only destroys crops but also attacks the villagers, and I heard from the farmer that there are other similar incidents! ”

"Oh? Isn't your virtue tired of walking this way? Mr. Dragonblood didn't hide his surprise, touched his chin and said, "I said that Master Lei Duan won't choose someone who can't walk to be my apprentice, come and take a look." ”

It was only then that Mr. Dragon's Blood noticed that He Ming's body was covered in bloodstains, wrapped in dirty strips of cloth. After dismantling those strips of cloth, He Ming's wounds scratched by the multi-hooked cat were shockingly displayed in front of Mr. Dragonblood.

This time, Mr. Dragon's Blood showed a nervous expression: "I was scratched by a mutated beast, and you just dealt with it casually?" You see, some of these wounds are already showing signs of infection! If I find out too late, you'll be here. ”

Mr. Dragon's Blood quickly walked into the martial arts hall and took out a white porcelain bottle, and then said while applying medicine to He Ming's wound: "Count you kid lucky, this is the ancestral gold sore medicine in our border village, and there is no other way to restrain all kinds of wounds." If you go somewhere else, your wound is infected and you can't be helped! ”

He Ming saw Mr. Dragon's Blood pour out the red powder from the bottle, sprinkle it on his wound, and then bandage him with a clean bandage. This gold sore medicine is really magical, just sprinkle it, the hot pain of the wound is immediately replaced by a cool feeling, and the pain is much lighter. In the process, he recounts in detail about the battle with the Hooked Cat.

Mr. Dragonblood put the medicine bottle away and said, "We'll send someone to strengthen the defense of the farmland." Someone like you who has never studied swordsmanship can take out a troublesome multi-hooked cat, at least your combat awareness is not bad. I'll arrange a place for you to live in the martial arts hall first, and today you go and have a good rest, and tomorrow I will start teaching you swordsmanship! ”

He Ming was worried that he had relied on stalking to defeat the multi-hooked cat, and if it was a mage classmate studying together, a big fireball would probably solve it. Thinking that he was going to say goodbye to magic, he followed Mr. Dragonblood to the martial arts hall with some sadness.

At dawn the next day, He Ming got dressed and came to the outside of the martial arts hall, and saw Mr. Dragon Blood standing under the big tree looking into the distance, Mr. Dragon Blood immediately noticed He Ming, beckoned him to come to his side, and said: "Although your injury is not a big problem, but don't practice martial arts too intensely, I will teach you the basics of all martial arts, basic swordsmanship, you practice it properly, and when you have learned the basic swordsmanship, I will teach you other swordsmanship." ”

"Basic swordsmanship includes sword swinging, stabbing, and slashing movements, as well as the timing of attack and defense, finding out the enemy's weaknesses, attacking with the same amount of strength, you can exert different effects, make good use of every opportunity, and only after mastering it can you do it without wasting a little strength in battle!"

Thinking of his embarrassed appearance when he cut a multi-hooked cat, He Ming engraved this passage into his bones. He has a good memory and a strong desire for knowledge, and under the guidance of his master, he fully understands the theoretical knowledge taught to him by Mr. Dragon's Blood in a short time. And it didn't take long for him to put this knowledge into practice, and now he was able to easily seize the opportunity when attacking hares and fawns, and hit the vital point with one blow.

He Ming's serious Mr. Dragon Blood saw it in his eyes, and one day, Mr. Dragon Blood called He Ming to the bamboo forest behind the village.

"Very good," Mr. Dragon Blood said to He Ming with satisfaction, "You have almost mastered the basic swordsmanship now, of course, in the future, you will definitely encounter some enemies who don't know the weaknesses or can't grasp the weaknesses, and then you really need to improvise." And according to the teacher's observation, although in the process of practicing magic, your physical strength is inevitably weakened, but your body speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. In the future, if you encounter a strong enemy and your strength is not superior, you can try to use your speed to maneuver with the opponent. At the same time, you should try to choose light weapons in terms of choosing weapons, and don't affect your advantage in body skills for the sake of lethality. ”

"Now the master will teach you the key martial art that the warrior has mastered the sword qi: attacking and killing swordsmanship! Unlike chanting magic and mobilizing magical power, attacking and killing swordsmanship is to condense the qi in your body directly on the weapon to attack, and the qi will not have the same change in nature as magic, so the effect of casting it depends on how well you master it. Beginners may even have an effect that is not as good as not using it directly! And you not only have to control the use of sword qi freely, but also ensure that you use attack and kill while taking into account basic swordsmanship! ”

With that, Mr. Dragon's Blood picked up a bamboo pole and waved it gently, and several bamboos in front of him were cut off like the sharpest sword.

Looking at He Ming's surprised and expectant eyes, Mr. Dragon Blood smiled and left a sentence: "If you can't emit sword qi freely, you will shout when you don't imitate the sword!" ”

He Ming began to practice his newly learned swordsmanship, and due to the failure of practicing magic, he was also a little apprehensive about swordsmanship that required sword qi, but fortunately, his sword qi was normal, and it was not worse than others at all. Mr. Dragonblood even said that he was the fastest person to be able to juggle basic swordsmanship while using attack and killing.

In addition to practicing swords against targets, He Ming sometimes goes out to find some animals to fight, so that he can often bring some game back and distribute it to everyone, and after a long time, the disciples of the martial arts hall like him very much. When He Ming was in Ginkgo Valley, he had been a little autistic because the magic had no effect, but he was also much more relaxed at this time.

In the afternoon of this day, he went outside the village to practice actual combat, and when he saw if he could catch his prey, he found a large buck with three horns. Immediately wanted to catch it, but just when he was about to approach quietly, the buck found him, the timid buck immediately began to flee, He Ming was hot-headed, and chased after him, he found in training that his strength was smaller than that of other disciples, but his speed and agility were stronger than others, so he was very confident in his speed, and he didn't think that this deer could escape from his hands. However, although He Ming ran as hard as he could, and on two occasions he chased close to the deer, and soon found that he could not make an effective attack during the high-speed running, and finally he gave up the pursuit and stopped and walked back.

When he walked back, He Ming realized that he had run too far, and even if he caught the deer, he couldn't bring it back. As I walked back, I saw that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and although the territory of the orcs had not yet been involved here, rumors of various dangers at night continued. So He Ming sped up and ran towards the border village, although he had tried his best to run, but when he could look at the border farmland, it was already dark, and no one would come out at night around Biqi.

He Ming was a little flustered, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he took the biggest road in the middle and hurried forward, only to find a strange figure in the field. This guy looks five big and three thick, he can't see his face clearly, his clothes are like animal skins from the texture, and he throws something out of his hand while chanting something.

He Ming's heart jumped to his throat, what is this? No one is going to come out at this late hour, and what is this guy doing here? In the midst of his confusion, in the field where the dark shadow had cast a spell, two scarecrows began to move, waving their arms and dancing back and forth among the crops. The crops that were about to be harvested in the fall were trampled by them.
