Chapter 2: The Old Blacksmith's Ordeal

Si Nian gradually walked to the outside of the village, standing outside the dense deep forest, staring at the forest, groups of wild wolves, leisurely shuttling through the dark forest. The green and faint gaze of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info constantly scanned the surroundings, looking for delicious prey.

"Brother, alone? Do you want to join our team. Several men who were also dressed in novice clothes saw Si Nian standing outside the forest, and looked at the forest alone.

Si Nian glanced sideways slightly, and said lightly: "No need." ”

"Oh, since you don't join the team, why don't you stand outside the wolf forest and never enter, don't you dare?"

Si Nian's pupils suddenly gathered, and then slowly dispersed, his gaze swept over several people, and the mockery looming in the eyes of several people was in full view. Then he didn't reply and walked away alone.

Si Nian knew that he was no match for a pack of wolves at all, so he wandered outside the wolf forest, looking for a lone wolf.

"Ahh Suddenly, a terrifying scream came from not far away. Si Nian turned his head and looked into the distance, which was where the small team was just now. Then, several screams rang out in succession. There were five in total, which was exactly the number of people in the squad.

Si Nian frowned slightly, he wanted to leave, but then he couldn't help but run over. Although the five were newcomers, they all used iron swords that were better than their own wooden swords. The Wooden Sword has only 1 attack damage, while the Iron Sword has 3 points.

Anyway, if you're outside the wolf forest, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Thinking like this, Si Nian had already run to the place where the accident occurred.

At this moment, a shocking scene appeared in front of his eyes. I saw an indifferent man dressed in the same gray cloth as himself, and still holding a blood-stained wooden sword in his hand, casually discarding the blood-stained wooden sword in his hand, and at the same time bending down to pick up the iron sword in the hand of one of them. Si Nian looked at the cold man in a daze, it was the special man Si Nian had seen at the previous resurrection point. It was difficult for him to accept the bloodshed in front of him, and it was even more difficult for him to accept that a novice who was just as pretending as him could easily kill five newbies with stronger equipment on his own.

"Be careful!" Si Nian was stunned and suddenly saw a wild wolf pounce from behind the cold man, grinning his teeth and cracking his claws, and couldn't help but exclaim. Seeing that the wolf's claws were about to tear apart the cold man. "Huh!" A black sword light slashed in front of Si Nian's eyes.

"Boom!" With a bang, the wolf was split into two parts, and before he could even scream, he died at the hands of the ruthless man. The cold man didn't even glance at the corpse of the wild wolf, turned his head slightly, glanced at Si Nian lightly, then turned around and left, dragging the blood-dripping iron sword deeper into the forest. "I'll leave the rest to you, go to the blacksmith shop first to learn how to strike iron, and then it's not too late to come to the wolf forest after increasing your strength."

Si Nian stared at the back that disappeared into the forest, closed his eyes slightly, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and then bent down to wrap the iron swords of the other four people. I took another look at the five novices who were alive just now, but now they have become five horizontal corpses. I suddenly realized that this world of the jungle is so ruthless, and it turns out that everything in this world speaks with strength. He could guess that the cold man just now must have encountered the same experience as himself, and the result was very different. He could only leave in front of the strength of the five, but he was able to pull out the wooden sword in front of the five......

Strength! Strength......

Thinking of this, Si Nian decided to believe his words, and resolutely turned around and left the wolf forest and walked towards the blacksmith shop. Just as he was looking for the blacksmith's shop, he was about to step inside the door. A few newcomers came out scolding: "That idiot old guy, in order to complete his task with hundreds of experience points, he has to beat so many scrap iron." He dreamed of it! Si Nian glanced at the man more, and then stepped into the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop was very messy, there was not a single weapon, and scrap metal was thrown everywhere. Si Nian glanced and found a sloppy old man lying on the couch in the corner, holding a gray gourd and gulping down wine. Si Nian approached the old man: "May I ask the boss, can I be an apprentice here?" ”

The old man glanced at Si Nian, removed the wine gourd from his mouth, and said lazily: "Quench the impurities of the scrap iron on the ground." ”

After Si Nian heard the man's words just now, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the scrap metal all over the room. But after thinking of the man's words, he finally agreed to the old man's task.

"Huh?" The old man was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this kid to agree so easily, but he didn't say anything, and then picked up a yellowed book from the side of the couch and threw it to Si Nian: "This is a book for quenching waste iron impurities, you can do it." ”

Si Nian took the book, opened the book and saw that it was a combination of pictures and texts, which was easy to understand. Just seeing such a big pile of scrap metal in the house, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Boss, I'll buy an iron sword. Hey, this person is still striking iron here? ”

"It's been a month since we entered the Otherworld, and tomorrow we will be able to reach level ten and leave this village for Xuanyuan City. He's still here striking iron for those hundreds of experience points, what an idiot! ”

"Haha, look at his stupid hat, maybe it's an NPC schoolboy? Let's go, let's go and strive to reach level ten today, and then we can go to Xuanyuan City to learn martial arts! ”

Si Nian lowered the conversation between the two, but his heart was as calm as water, he believed that the person would not lie to him, and he himself felt that the stronger power in his body than before was constantly emerging during this period of tempering. It's not much, but you can feel it faintly.

Now, he was sweating profusely, burning under the blazing heat of the stove, his face was flushed, and the sweat continued to overflow, wet his hair, and drops of sweat dripped on the stove, and then "snort, ......snort" turned into air. "Ding, ding, ding, ......" The sound of hammers striking scrap iron has been ringing in the iron shop for a whole month.

Si Nian raised his eyes slightly, looking at the scrap iron in the house, which was only half missing, and the expressionless lower head behind him, "Ding, ding, dang, dang......" The continuous beating sound has been lingering in the dilapidated blacksmith shop, since he has chosen, he will not regret it...... And the old man was still lying on the couch like that, and the wine in the gourd was always there......

Fast forward another 10 days. "Ding, ding, ding~~~~~~ dang!" A beating sound that was different from the previous one sounded crisply, and a heavy hammer woke up the old man who was accustomed to the sound of Si Nian beating scrap iron from his couch. "Stinky boy! Why are you knocking so hard, old man, I'm sleeping soundly! ”

Si Nian threw away the hammer in his hand, and his arms reflected in the firelight turned out to be more well-defined than more than a month ago, very fit, but not strong. "It's over." Si Nian removed the rope from the bun with both hands and put the long hair down.

"Huh? A month and ten days to finish? The old man opened his drunken eyes, and then there was a look of praise in his eyes: "Yes, yes, I thought you would have to do it in two months, but you did it in one month, good boy!" ”

Si Nian slowly took off the vest given by the old man on his body, wiped the sweat on his body with it, and put on his cloth clothes, "Boss, my task is completed, right?" ”

"Hmm." The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then a white light instantly covered the head of the boss.

"Congratulations on completing 'The Old Blacksmith's Trial' to gain 400 experience points and five permanent strength bonuses."

"You really didn't lie to me." The corners of Si Nian's mouth rose slightly, and he was very satisfied with the reward of five permanent strength bonuses. After bowing slightly to the old blacksmith, he stepped out of the blacksmith shop, holding the iron sword in his hand and walking straight towards the wolf forest.
