Chapter 16

Usually, at this time, Shen Xinghe would take a walk for half an hour, and then go back to the bedroom to start practicing or reading, but today, for that hour, he just sat in the garden and watched the sky, and it was still evening, and Shen Xinghe rarely had such patience to watch the sky dim little by little.

During the rest time after dinner, Shen Xinghe will not take the initiative to find anyone to be with, this is because he likes to enjoy the rare quiet and leisurely time of the day alone, especially in the evening, which is very quiet, and he can completely relax and think to his heart's content.

Just like now, the breeze blows on the cheeks, so soft and comfortable that one just wants to sink into this tranquility and never think about anything else.

As summer approaches, the daylight will lengthen, and when Shen Xinghe and He Ningzhou came outdoors together, the sky was not completely dark, this dark blue color looked deep and weird, and the scenery in the distance was also shrouded in a haze.

He Ningzhou didn't take Shen Xinghe to the stable, the two walked out of the palace, and he motioned for Shen Xinghe to stop here first. As far as the eye can see, the endless wilderness comes into view, and it is rare for Shen Xinghe to look at it from such a perspective.

Glancing at the direction of the Demon Siam Forest, He Ningzhou pretended to be mysterious and said to the people around him: "Have you ever thought about asking me, why didn't you go horseback riding when you said you were going to the Demon Siam Forest?" And since it's not a horseback ride, how do we get there? Have you ever thought about it? He also raised his eyebrows, looking very interested in Shen Xinghe's answer.

The latter glanced up at him, his expression much calmer than his, showing that he didn't care, "I did think about it, but I know you must have your reasons, if not on horseback, then walking or running." ”

"That's right," He Ningzhou agreed, "That's right, running is also a way to exercise physical fitness, the straight-line distance from here to the Moxian Forest is 1,500 meters, you try to control your speed, run the whole way, and I will follow you." Let's go. ”

"Oh." Shen Xinghe calmed down, made a preparatory move, and began to run, and He Ningzhou really followed him at the same speed.

Because of his running, the wind blowing on his face increased his strength, and even a little cool, Shen Xinghe liked this kind of sober and refreshing feeling. For a man, 1,500 meters is a very easy distance, and with his continuous improvement in force value in the past two months, his speed has also increased a lot, and I believe it should only take five minutes to run.

"Now," He Ningzhou said beside Shen Xinghe after thirty seconds of running, who turned his head to look at him, "mobilize your body's ability to your feet and use it to increase speed." ”

“…… Oh. Shen Xinghe turned back to the front and couldn't help blinking, in fact, the cultivation he had done for him so far was only under static conditions, and he had never tried dynamics, and he didn't know if it would have an impact. Exhaling a breath, Shen Xinghe got ready, and mobilized the ability value while maintaining the running action, only to find that it was really difficult to do both, and finally moved the ability value to the foot, Shen Xinghe found that he rushed out at a speed that he couldn't even imagine!

…… Eyes wide in horror, how can this be stopped!!

"Now," I remembered the man's voice again, and he still followed him at the same speed, "Appropriately retract the ability, adjust the pace, and dispatch the ability according to the pattern of collecting three percent, putting one percent, and then collecting forty percent, and try to be as free as possible!" ”

Yes? Retractable? Shen Xinghe recalled the method he had taught him yesterday to distribute ability, so he did so and received three percent...... The speed is a little slower, and then put it into ...... It's fast again, and it's ...... again

"Now, reclaim the ability, at a normal pace, and soon reach the destination!" The voice of the man was remembered again.

“…… Yes. Shen Xinghe retracted his ability to notice that the forest that had appeared in front of him at some point was now more than twenty meters away, and the two stopped at the entrance of the forest a few seconds later.

Shen Xinghe couldn't help but bend down and hold his knees with both hands, his breathing was a little short, it was really not easy to run down this 1,500 meters.

"How does it feel?" He Ningzhou's voice was as usual, without a trace of gasp.

Shen Xinghe straightened up and looked at him, he looked like he had walked more than a thousand meters, or was sent over while sitting in a car, without any effort.

Also, Shen Xinghe thought again, he was many times more powerful than himself, when he rushed from the main street of Phantom Night City to the Star Hall before, he ran all the way with a speed comparable to a strong wind on his back, and his appearance did not change in the slightest at that time.

"It's fine." Shen Xinghe couldn't say that he was a little tired.

"Because you still have a short time to learn scheduling skills, it's normal to be inflexible for a while, and from now on, you have to consciously assign your abilities, and the same is true in the training that we will be doing soon." After He Ningzhou finished speaking, after seeing Shen Xinghe nodding his head to show his understanding, he took the lead and walked towards the forest, signaling him to follow him.

As soon as he entered the forest, Shen Xinghe felt that the sky was immediately dark, and he could barely see his five fingers, and the crown of the Qingluo tree almost completely blocked the moonlight.

"Now, we are concentrating 20 percent of our ability on the eye to improve vision." Shen Xinghe listened to the humanity around him.

As soon as Shen Xinghe did it, his vision was much clearer, he could see the outlines of the trees, and he could also see the road under his feet.

"It's about ten minutes before the Demon Siamese wolves come out of their holes, they won't be where I took you this morning soon, we'll go over and make some preparations now, and we'll all be there tonight."

"Okay." Shen Xinghe still felt that it was a miracle that this person could remember and find the same position as in the morning.

When he arrived at the destination, He Ningzhou summoned a blanket from the storage container and spread it on the ground, and sat on it with Shen Xinghe, who thought that in fact, he often saw others summoning something, but his own storage earrings have not been used so far, and it seems that he has to put something in it when he goes back.

"Is it cold or not?" He Ningzhou said that he had a very thick cloak in his hand, and said softly to Shen Xinghe Road: "It will be very cold at night here, so it's best to wear this." ”

"Thank you." Shen Xinghe took it over, thinking that this person was very careful and seemed to have a lot of experience in camping.

"I also brought water," this time He Ningzhou handed Shen Xinghe a water bag, "Drink a little when you are thirsty." ”

Shen Xinghe couldn't help but wonder if he had brought some more food by the way, so that they would have a very chic and comfortable night.

But He Ningzhou didn't come up with anything more, obviously attached great importance to tonight's training, and Shen Xinghe thought about it, this person would not act so nonsense.

"I want to ask you a question." Shen Xinghe draped the cloak on his body, wrapped his whole body, and looked at the humanity around him.

"What?" He Ningzhou also looked at him.

"Is it true that everyone who has passed the adult assessment has undergone such training? The ability to survive in the wild must be a must. ”

"That's right," He Ningzhou smiled, "from the age of sixty-five, our teacher would take us to places like the Magic Siam Forest, and he would set various tasks for us, such as following the route he set and avoiding all the animals in his path; There is also the ability to catch a creature that he designates, and in order to pass the adult assessment, you must have the ability to complete these tasks. In fact, adult assessment is a test of a person's comprehensive ability, in addition to observation, judgment, strain, mobility, endurance, mental strength and other qualities, knowledge is also essential, otherwise it will be overstretched. "When it comes to these, He Ningzhou seems to have a feeling.

Shen Xinghe nodded, very emotional. Sure enough, those who can pass the adult assessment are all masters among masters.

At this time, He Ningzhou's eyes flashed, as if he had noticed something, and then he lowered his voice and said in Shen Xinghe's ear: "Now that you start cultivating, the Demon Siamese Wolf has already been dispatched, and at the position of three hundred meters on the left, there are also a few other places that have come out one after another." ”

Shen Xinghe didn't react for a while, and then immediately began to mobilize his ability, thinking that this person's insight was really not ordinary sensitivity.

The people around him were practicing, but He Ningzhou seemed very leisurely, paying attention to the movements around him. In fact, what I said in the morning is not accurate, the Devil Siamese wolf should be the weakest of all aggressive animals, while other rabbits, rats and the like will not attack people, they are the main food of the Devil Siamese wolf. Now, more than a dozen wolves have found their prey and are in pursuit; A few others are slowly walking in this direction.

He Ningzhou looked at the people around him, he still looked so serious, but speaking of which, with his current ability, he could only notice when the Demon Siamese Wolf was close to him five meters at most, and the Demon Siamese Wolf would find him at a distance of thirty meters and immediately start attacking, if he was not by his side, no matter how many lives he had, it would not be enough for him to die.

Of course, any master comes from such a stage, as long as he works hard enough, I believe that it will not be long before he can cross the entire forest unscathed.

After about ten minutes, He Ningzhou felt a demon Siamese wolf come fifty meters away from them and was slowly approaching here. Looking at Shen Xinghe again, he still didn't notice the slightest danger.

The minutes ticked by, the sound of the breeze blowing through the fallen leaves became very clear, the darkness around was like a falling abyss, the beasts were approaching here step by step, and the danger that would come at some point made people's hearts extremely nervous.

The Devil Siamese Wolf has a very sensitive sense of smell, strong night vision, excellent observation and attention, and it seems to be slowly approaching the target like a sensor, and its intuition tells it that it will be a very tempting prey.

Forty meters...... Thirty-five meters...... Thirty-three meters...... Thirty-two meters......

The air around you is like a dense web, which makes people hold their breath and concentrate on it......

The Demon Siamese Wolf has seen it! Through the dense trees, it saw that there were two prey there!

Without any hesitation, the Demon Siamese Wolf attacked in an instant!

Also at that moment, the corners of He Ningzhou's lips flashed with a smile-

Its movements are ghostly, and in the blink of an eye, it has swept closer! ……

Shen Xinghe suddenly felt murderous! Incomparably strong, wild aggressive aura, bloody, killing, the air tightened like a string, that murderous aura was too terrifying to breathe!

Run...... Run! It's scary...... Get out of here!

Shen Xinghe sat in place with wide eyes and watched the animal pounce on him, with cold green eyes, wide open mouth, and wind-like speed, he was completely unresponsive like a prey caught by a spider's web, and fear enveloped his whole body and drowned out his breath!

Going to die, going to die! ……

……

When the demon siamese wolf landed, it was just a calm land, and the things on the ground seemed to disappear in an instant, and there was no breath of any creature around it, which made it wonder if what it had just seen was just a hallucination......

At this time, the two of them were two hundred meters away from the demon Siamese wolf, packing up their things and taking people away, and all the actions were completed in a few tenths of a second.

He Ningzhou put the person in his arms on the ground, but he planted it on the ground as if he couldn't control his body, and He Ningzhou quickly fished the person into his arms again.

Shen Xinghe hesitated for a moment in his arms, but then hugged him tightly like grasping a life-saving straw!

It's terrifying, even if I am sure that I am still alive, I clearly remember the fear in my mind, it turns out that this is the real murderous aura, which is completely different from what I feel in training, this is a life-and-death moment, but I am like an ant who can't resist at all.

Shen Xinghe is a person who has experienced death, but the feeling at that time is different from now, when he was lying there quietly waiting for death, this time he deeply felt the approach of death when he did not expect it, and he also clearly realized the disparity between strength and weakness, this kind of cognition is almost desperate.

Shen Xinghe didn't want to think about anything anymore, as long as he leaned on that person's arms like this, as long as he held him like this, feeling each other's breathing and heartbeat, this was proof that they were both alive, it was enough......

He Ningzhou gently comforted the person in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh after whispering a few words of comfort in his ear. This is his own mistake, the murderous aura of weekday training and this kind of murderous aura of real swords and real guns fighting for life can't be compared, and he deliberately let him feel the murderous aura of the demon saxam wolf a little later before taking him away, but he didn't expect to completely scare him.

In fact, it should be later, and he should be brought back when his ability is not much worse than that of the Demon Siamese Wolf, and now this situation may even completely hit his confidence to the bottom so that he will never be able to cheer up again......

What to do? He is still afraid, and he must be struggling inside, what can he do to regain his confidence? He must not be allowed to give up here, then he will live in this shadow for the rest of his life and never be able to move forward......

"Sawyer, are you better?" He Ningzhou gently patted him on the back a few times, his voice was soft, trying not to let him perceive his worries.

This is the first time that He Ningzhou has called him by his name, but Shen Xinghe didn't notice these at this time, or rather, in his opinion, Sorod, like Sawyer, is not his own name, what he really wants to be called is ......

Shen Xinghe's body still trembled slightly, showing that he had not fully recovered from the shock just now, hearing He Ningzhou's question, he wanted to answer, but at that moment the figure of the wolf pounced appeared in his mind, he subconsciously buried his head deeper in the man's arms, closed his eyes and roared:

"Don't! Don't come here! ”

"......" He Ningzhou was very worried, and wanted to raise his face to see his appearance, but the slightest movement would make him hug him tighter, so he had to maintain his original movements.

I was very helpless, but I still had to be patient and slowly coax him.

"Nothing will come, with me by your side, no one can hurt you, isn't it just now? That wolf doesn't have a chance to hurt you in the slightest. Well, don't be afraid, don't think about anything else, just think about me, as long as you want to have me by your side, you don't have to be afraid of anything, believe me......" He Ningzhou, who has always been calm and self-controlled, has had a great change since he met this person, and he said almost several times more than before, which is entirely because he wants to be a qualified teacher and guardian.

The words of that person echoed in his ears, gentle and continuous, I have to say that his words really interrupted Shen Xinghe's train of thought, so that those terrifying pictures scattered before they could be reunited, and his mind kept thinking with his voice: Don't be afraid, with him by your side, you don't have to be afraid of anything......

Really? With him by your side, don't you really have to be afraid of anything?

Really, he is with him now, and he has nothing to hurt himself, and his body is very warm and reassuring, because of his tight hug.

……

Many years later, Shen Xinghe told He Ningzhou that if it weren't for his embrace and words at that time, he might really be in a state of collapse. People often have an ostrich-like idea when they encounter difficulties, for Shen Xinghe, the palace is a very safe place, even if he stays for a lifetime, there will be no danger, what does it matter if he can't pass the adult assessment? The wolf was already so terrifying, and the other creatures in the forest and the challenges that would be encountered in the adult assessment were even more unpredictable, so he might as well stay in the palace for the rest of his life and never go out again......

Thoughts are just thoughts after all, not to mention just a flash of thought, Shen Xinghe is grateful to He Ningzhou, at that time, let himself feel such danger, and he is no longer afraid of any difficulties. Yes, the greatest danger is only a moment of death, what can be compared to it?

And most importantly, he recalled it countless times in his dreams after that, and what made that dream so picturesque, that he had told himself: with him by his side, he could not be afraid of any danger.

This sentence is also like faith.

As a result of relaxing his mood, Shen Xinghe fell asleep in He Ningzhou's arms.

Also, all along, his nerves have been in a state of tension, training, schoolwork, missions, everything is going on as if it has been arranged as if it has been arranged, and there is no moment that is completely his own time.

He had just experienced another fright, and finally he could no longer support the exhaustion of his spirit......

He Ningzhou felt that the body in his arms suddenly became heavy, and lowered his head in confusion, only to find that he had fallen asleep in his arms, in fact, the time was only about eight o'clock.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, He Ningzhou once again focused his gaze on the face of the person in his arms. It's a very interesting face, with a flat mouth and frowning eyebrows, as if it has been greatly wronged, and only a few tears on the eyelashes make me feel even more pitiful. I can't help but feel a little heartache, he will fall asleep at this time, proving that he is really tired.

And he will be in his arms like this, in the dangerous Magic Siam Forest, which is also a proof that he trusts himself as if he has entrusted his life to himself.

It's cute.,After experiencing such danger.,To believe in yourself like this with just a few words of your own.,Simple and stupid at the same time.。

In fact, he shouldn't have indulged him like this, but should have made a demon wolf to scare him, although what happened just now was very shocking, but who could be invincible from the beginning? When completing the task assigned by the teacher in the forest, who doesn't stop advancing when they encounter an opponent who is stronger than themselves, and then go back to practice their abilities and strive for more distance next time they advance? Even if he was himself, he had experienced dozens or even a hundred times more failures than this person, and if he had been sad and complaining, he would have been just a soldier in an army that he didn't know who led him, how could he be sent to be his teacher?

Forget it, forgive him for the first time he has experienced such training, his mind is not very firm, and his strength is relatively weak, if he is afraid of being like this next time, he will definitely ......

He Ningzhou didn't think about it, he summoned the blanket again, sat on it with the person in his arms in his arms, and at the same time laid out an enchantment within a radius of fifty meters, so that the Demon Siamese Wolf could not get close to here.

When Shen Xinghe woke up, he could feel the light that was not bright outside, and it should be morning at this time.

The posture of the body is very strange, not lying on the bed, but as if sitting in the arms of a person, yes...... Who?

Slowly opening his eyes, Shen Xinghe raised his head and looked, and the person also lowered his head as if he noticed his movements, and the corners of his lips were a shallow smile, it was He Ningzhou.

For the first time, Shen Xinghe looked at the handsome face of that person in such an intimate posture, and in the green forest, his face revealed a refreshing and natural atmosphere, as if made in heaven.

Shen Xinghe subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at it again, his face was a little warm, and he didn't know if he had noticed it. Strange, how could they sleep here in such a position? …… By the way, last night they came for special training, and let the Demon Siamese Wolf take the initiative to attack to practice detection and dodge, and then ...... It seems that he sensed that the Demon Siamese Wolf was already within three meters of himself when it arrived, and he thought that it would pounce and eat himself!

It's terrible, and I still have palpitations when I think about it now. However, being alive now means that he must have dodged the attack at that time, this must not be based on his own strength, but the people around him who saved him? By the way, I was scared at the time, and then, and then I was unconscious......

Ahem, what a ...... experience Although the horror is exciting enough, and it is quite interesting in retrospect, however, his ability is also too far behind, and if he wants to avoid the attack of the demon siam wolf, he will have to cultivate for a while, not to mention other animals.
