Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Voice of the Heart
The bonfire was gradually extinguished, and the night was already deep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dusty was still polishing his weapon in the place where everyone was sitting. The one-handed sword made with the round shield is also mixed with the material of the dog dragon, and the hilt of the sword is wrapped around the skin near the scarf of the dog dragon king, which can play a non-slip effect. I don't know how it was made, the material of the monster and the steel fused together at the back end of the sword, and Feng Chen looked carefully and looked at it, but he couldn't find the seam between the two, as if they naturally grew together.
Newly made weapons certainly don't need to be polished, but this is a habit passed down from his father by Dust Boy. He could still remember that in Xuelin Village, the day before the battle between Daddy and the Great Boar King, he had been silently polishing his weapons for a whole day in the firewood room, dozens of arrows were polished by him, and his handmade longbow was finely coated with a layer of pine oil.
After fighting various powerful monsters many times in the training camp, Feng Chen gradually realized how lucky his father must have been to survive the attack of the Boar King that day. As for killing that monster, it can be called a miracle.
Having been a hunter for half his life, it is impossible for my father not to know the danger of that time. However, at the request of the half-villager, he did not refuse, but silently smoked a bag of cigarettes and nodded.
What did he think? At that time, Feng Chen didn't know, but tomorrow he was going to leave the training camp to be safe, and go to the depths of the valley to explore the traces of the colorful birds, but like him, he began to subconsciously prepare his weapons.
The boy sprinkled small strands of water from the bamboo tube on the stone mill and watched as the water splashed with his movements. The sound of "brushing" the knife seemed to have a calming force, making him forget the dangerous environment and the uncertain future for a while.
"Why don't you go to rest?" Jia Xiao came to his side at some point.
"Don't you either." Seal the dust to wipe the water stains on the sword and insert it into the scabbard at the waist.
"I'll stay at camp tomorrow," said the apprentice hunter, who had put on his new armor, and Amphinis had prepared a pair of arm guards and leg armor to make up for the lack of physical defense from the standard armor. It seems to be made of the material of the blue bear beast, and the blue armor has a decorative yellow fur on it, "It doesn't matter if you sleep late, that guy will probably get up early to patrol, he can't be idle." ”
In the end, the team decided to let Feng Chen, Nie Xiaoyang, and Shentu Miaoling form a search team, the first two of which were able to have strong mobility in the woodland due to the convenience of their weapons, and would be very flexible in both tracking and retreating. Jia Xiao and Xiong Fuji, who were familiar with heavy weapons, were left in the camp to deal with monsters that could attack at any time.
At first, everyone wanted to leave Shentu Miaoling behind, but the girl insisted on entering the reconnaissance group on the grounds that she was familiar with the performance of the new bow. Although everyone is a little unbearable, being able to have a reliable remote support in the field can indeed provide a higher security guarantee for exploration. Shentu Miaoling, who had never expressed her needs and requests in front of everyone, finally got her wish and joined the reconnaissance detachment with the one-handed sword hunters.
"According to me, the big bear is eager to meet the high-ranking dragon species that broke into the camp early tomorrow morning." Feng Chen teased.
"Are you scared?" The tomboy sat down next to Dusty and looked at the boy's side face.
"Scared?" Feng Chen, who was in the dark night, showed a strange expression, "No, there is no such thing. I've been hunting since I was seven years old and trained here for more than a month......"
"I mean." Jia Xiao interrupted him, "You're different from us, you don't have to." ”
Feng Chen quieted down, silently took the snack handed over by the young man, and waited for him in his mouth.
"My father was a trader, and he used to go to everything from Locklac in the desert to the swamps and lakes in the south." Jia Xiao looked into the distance, thinking as he spoke, "He always told me about those dangerous things, those dragons that can smash mountains and rocks with their heads, monsters whose wings can roll up strange winds, and all kinds of gorgeous and poisonous plants. He paused, "But I don't like to hear it." ”
"Why?"
"Because I was afraid, every time he left home to travel, I didn't know what was going to happen to him this time. The world was so dangerous, and I was afraid that he would leave the house one time and leave me and my mother at home forever. ”
"So I have been desperately learning hunting skills since I was a child, hoping to become a hunter soon and be able to provide an escort for my father's caravan."
Just by the moonlight and starlight, Feng Chen could also see Jia Xiao's deep eyes.
"I, Xiong Fuji, Nie Xiaoyang, and Shentu Miaoling, all four of us were exiled here from our respective families. Whatever the reason, that Eru gave us a chance to get back to the Hunter's Platform to fight and fight, giving us the ability to accomplish what we wanted to accomplish before we were exiled. So, no matter what it takes, I'm going to stay here because it's our last struggle. Jia Xiao looked at Feng Chen's eyes blazing, "But you're different." ”
"I don't know why, but you have a different temperament than we do."
"You are very cheerful and sincere, just like the snow that naturally melts in the depths of the snowy mountains, you are from the north, right?"
Feng Chen was accustomed to others being able to see his origin at a glance, so he nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
"You are not like us bitter and hateful family outcasts, who need to package yourself all the time like Nie Xiaoyang with thorns, Xiong Fuji as irritable and irritable, or as cold as that girl. Not only that, but you can also try to integrate the people in the camp, and now the relationship between everyone in the whole training camp is better than it was at the beginning? ”
Feng Chen lowered his head shyly, he didn't know that he, who was the lowest in the crowd, actually had such a role: "I just did what I had to do." ”
"You and we are carrying different things, and perhaps you don't have to be involved in this dangerous operation." Jia Xiao sincerely dissuaded, "I've heard about the training intensity of other training grounds, and the number of monsters you hunted last month is already comparable to the number of other hunting grounds for an entire year. This means that even if you don't do anything next, you'll already meet the criteria for a one-star hunter. ”
"I don't want it." Feng Chen shook his head and denied, "I will definitely go." "The topography of the valley is not complicated, but there are many dark holes and hidden currents around the river, and I am the only one who knows the general topography of an area near the camp." In such an expedition, or a lot of information, the difference between life and death, I cannot watch my friends go to the place of death while I stand idly by in the camp. ”
After saying this, Feng Chen himself was stunned first, he licked his lips, the candy stick had been eaten for some time, and there was a burst of fragrance left in his mouth: "You and they are my friends." ”
He said, "Although Xiaoyang was a little scary when I first met, he was a good teammate with righteousness; Fuji's temper was a little bigger, but he didn't hesitate to save my life; Although Miao Ling doesn't talk much, she is a teammate worthy of trust on the battlefield. And you, Jia Xiao, since I first entered the camp, you have given me the most help and care, we are already a team, aren't we? Even if it's not for hunter apprenticeship, but for my friend, I'm going to continue this search operation. ”
"You know, I'm just a hunter, I don't have the ancestral hunting skills and knowledge of big families, but I want to complete this training with everyone as part of this team."
After saying this, Feng Chen inserted the polished one-handed sword into the scabbard, looking at his close teammates with sincere and calm eyes.
The chirping of cicadas and the rustling of leaves in the wind are clearly audible.
Jia Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally patted Feng Chen's shoulder: "Go sleep for a while, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”
