"Here? ... How did you come back here again... Wait, I'm ..... now"

Chen Yuan looked at his immature hands in front of him, and his brain was down for a while before he gradually sobered up.

Chen Yuan still remembers the scene in front of him, if it is not bad as expected, a cute Apollo will walk in front of his eyes crying in ten seconds.

Standing up, Chen Yuan familiarized himself with his current body.

Less than one meter four tall, the appearance of the young forest elves, whether it is strength or physical fitness, is scum, the memory of the forest elves in the body flashed, and Chen Yuan also had a certain understanding of his current identity.

'Due to the activation of the system protection mechanism, the 'Soul Carrier' function has been activated under the mandatory command'

'The host will use the temporarily generated 'second carrier' and carry the second soul to carry out the trial, and the relevant identity has been automatically obtained, and the trial has officially begun'

'Warning: Please refrain from dying during the Trial, as death will have an unknown effect on the First Soul'

"Second soul? Is it referring to the soul that I passed through in my last life? ”

Chen Yuan himself is undoubtedly soul-piercing, but he did not replace the soul of his predecessor, but only after inheriting and merging Chen Yuan's current consciousness.

With the soul of his previous life as the carrier, is this so... Chen Yuan probably guessed a little bit about the requirements and purpose of this trial.

But now my body is really a waste material, I don't know anything, and my physical fitness is quite poor, just an ordinary person! I'm afraid that even the current Apollo can beat himself.

"Woooooo

Are you coming, Chen Yuan looked in the direction where the cry came from.

Not far away, beside the giant tree, Apollo was staggering while wiping away tears.

"Hey, Apollo!"

"Woo... Who? John, it's you..."Apollo was also startled, but after seeing that it was Chen Yuan, his cry was a little quieter, and his red and swollen eyes were a little embarrassed.

Sure enough...

Chen Yuan had more or less guessed in his heart when he saw his appearance, it seemed that he had really participated in the plot he had seen before with a new identity.

"Why are you crying like this?"

"Dick they hate me, they call me a crawler, I've worked hard, but everybody laughs at me."

"Cut, then let them laugh."

"John, sometimes I really envy you. Obviously, we are both very bad, but you have never been afraid of them, only I am so cowardly that I will be bullied by them all the time. ”

..... Sure enough, his current identity is also a weak chicken among weak chickens, and it's normal, such a poor body can't do anything.

Chen Yuan squinted and didn't answer immediately, just patted Apollo on the shoulder, and waited for Apollo to cry almost before he spoke: "Don't cry, what's the big deal." Let's go, I'll take you to the lake next to you to vent, and you'll feel better. ”

Walking quickly all the way to the familiar lake, Chen Yuan found a stone and lay down, and Apollo really fell in love with the stone in Chen Yuan's memory and sat down.

"Apollo, it's useless to cry, we should know this better than anyone else." Chen Yuan recalled the bits and pieces of this body's past.

Because of the weakness, the predecessor was often found fault and bullied by the forest elf children of the same age, this phenomenon is very common in many humanoid races, although the children who are still young are not very malicious, but the constant contempt and ridicule around them still deeply hurt the soul of the predecessor.

The most typical change is that the predecessor gradually became silent, and externally it has been using the hedgehog behavior of-for-tat and lifeless fights to isolate others from their malice, which is why the predecessor has not been ridiculed repeatedly like Apollo.

Chen Yuan was also a little helpless, the talent of this body was really miserable, miserable.

The bow and arrow are not aimed accurately, and the dynamic vision cannot keep up. The scimitar skills are a mess, and the strength is very poor.

Apollo is still fast, and his elemental manipulation ability is subtle, but Chen Yuan is now running slowly, not to mention, even the elemental sensing is worse than Apollo's, let alone subtle manipulation.

"Little Apollo, little John, are there anything unhappy about you two sneaking here?"

Chen Yuan failed, even if he observed his personal experience this time, he still didn't find out where this old man suddenly jumped out of nowhere.

"Grandpa Deadwood."

"Grandpa Deadwood."

Apollo and Chen Yuan greeted the old man at the same time.

In Chen Yuan's inherited memory, he only knew that the old man in front of him was a forest elf veteran who survived the two 'Black Abyss' wars, and he didn't know anything else due to his age.

"What's wrong? Little Apollo, did you just cry? The old man rubbed the top of Apollo's head in his mouth, and ruffled his long hair, which was tied together.

Chen Yuan looked at the scene in front of him that was almost the same as before because of the powerful correction, and the difficulty of this trial task was raised by one level again.

It's not easy to do, the power of inertia..... Chen Yuan rubbed his temples.

"Grandpa Deadwood, am I too useless, Dick and they are all laughing at me and saying that I am the worst of all the forest elves, and I have lost the face of my father and mother." Apollo asked the old man in front of him in a choked voice, his red eyes full of inferiority and guilt.

The old man took out a handkerchief as usual and wiped Apollo's face, then turned his head to look at Chen Yuan: "Little John, do you think the same way?" ”

I?

Chen Yuan looked at his hands.

Indeed, if it is according to the ideas of its predecessor, it is not much different from Apollo.

Now I am not an elite defender of the system, and I am not a tin can that can dominate the battlefield. Now he is just a weak forest elf facing a more tragic situation than Apollo.

Apollo is still taking care of his parents, and he is simply an orphan of the war!

"They can laugh at me, but one day I'll be a warrior like my parents."

"I'm not going to throw in the towel."

Even if he becomes an ordinary person again, Chen Yuan's determination to become stronger has not changed in the slightest, but has become stronger.

"Little Apollo, you should learn from Little John's courage."

"No tree in the forest is the same, and neither are we. Whether it is a human being or an elf, each of us is unique and different in this world. Little Apollo, people always have to learn to find their own merits, don't they? .....”

"As long as you have a firm heart, there is nothing to stop you except death."

The old man's kind words sounded, and Chen Yuan, who heard these words again, had many feelings and moods that he had not had before.

"But Grandpa Deadwood, I'm not only small but also stupid, and I can't pull a bow at the age of twelve, and Dick and they can easily learn it, and I can't learn it for a long time....."

"Then do your best!"

Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted Apollo loudly.

"If you can't learn these things, let's learn the others! I know that our talent is very poor, but as long as we can learn it, then we will do our best! Can only bows and arrows and scimitars give us the strength and courage to face danger? ”

"As long as it is a power that can be used, it can become our weapon, they can no longer laugh at us, and everything they want to protect can be defended by our hands!"

Almost roaring to say what he felt in his heart, Chen Yuan's unwillingness to admit defeat and determination made Apollo on the side completely stunned.

"Hahaha," the old man laughed again, but this time his face was full of relief: "Little John, well said. Talent does not mean your efforts, little Apollo, face your heart and remember that only death can make us stop, and as long as there is something we want to protect, we should not stop moving forward because of our weakness. ”

Apollo's wide eyes clearly expressed his incomprehension to the outside world, and Chen Yuan had no words to think about the difficulties he needed to face.

The old man didn't mind, and after straightening out Apollo's scattered clothes, he waved his hand and disappeared in an instant.

After disappearing for only a second, a paragraph suddenly sounded intermittently from afar, "If you don't give up, come to the top of the 'Star Forest' to find me." ”

Chen Yuan saw that the phantom in front of him flickered and the old man disappeared, this speed was not much worse than teleportation.

Sure enough, those who have experienced two meat grinder battles can still walk out, and they are too strong.

"John, what does Grandpa Deadwood mean...?"

"Let's go to the 'Forest of Stars' tomorrow."

Without waiting for Apollo to answer, Chen Yuan jumped down from the stone and pulled the somewhat blindfolded Apollo towards the clan land.

.....

Walking out of the hut where he lived alone, Chen Yuan breathed in the fresh breath of the forest in the early morning, and his mood became inexplicably better.

Walking slowly all the way to the agreed place with Apollo, he saw from a distance that Apollo was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Apollo, morning."

"Well, good morning John. Let's hurry up, it might rain. ”

Chen Yuan didn't notice the weather, no wonder the density of water vapor in the air seemed to be greater today, so it turned out that there would be rain.

Without being verbose, the two began to follow the trail towards the mountain, although there were relatively few people who had been to the 'Star Forest', but for them who had been playing at the foot of the mountain for a long time, they were still familiar with this area.

Halfway up the mountain, Chen Yuan wiped a handful of sweat, now the physical strength of this body has felt a lot of pressure after climbing the mountain road for so long, Apollo is not much better, the rising sun in the sky shines on the faces of the two through a few dark clouds, and the rain is not far away.

Sure enough, after walking forward for about ten minutes again, the downpour came as scheduled.

The mountain road, which was already difficult to move forward, became muddy and slippery under the interference of heavy rain, and the slightest carelessness was a heel.

Chen Yuan thrust the thick branch in his hand into the mud, and used all his strength to step up a layer of dirt slope, and stretched out his hand to pull Apollo behind him up.

There is only half a mile left from the top of the mountain, but Chen Yuan's vision is not even thirty meters away in the rainstorm.

"Come on."

Apollo's eyes were unexpectedly determined, and the inferiority complex and hesitation of the past seemed to disappear at this moment.

"Hmm." Chen Yuan responded, give up? Not to mention that it has come to this point, even if it is blocked by a torrential rain at the beginning, I will not give up this opportunity to change myself.

With a wave of his forearm, Chen Yuan took advantage of the balance brought by the branches to march into the mud of the rainstorm again.
