Chapter 5: Departure (2)
First, they had to find a place to set up camp.
They left the main road a little and found a relatively open piece of flat land. Zijin ordered Zijin to go back and pick up some dry branches, and after tying up the big obedient, he began to install the tent. Zijin took the flint and steel, the kettle, and the food out of the suitcase.
After Zigui piled up the branches he had picked up, Zijin originally wanted to use flint and steel to light the fire, but after thinking about it, he said to the piled branches: "Sun, moon and stars, thunder and lightning, god of fire, burn!" I saw a small black flame emitting from Zigui's palm, and this flame shot towards the pile of branches, and after a while, the branches were ignited.
"You can also use the art of fire?" Zhi asked, somewhat surprised.
"I just wanted to see if I could use fire-based spells. This was my first practice of using spells, and I actually succeeded! Zijin said happily. But it doesn't seem to be the same as Akazu's. ”
"Well, by the way, your hair is black, so what does your ability belong to?" Zhi asked.
"I don't know, I asked Xiaoyou when I was teaching me the mantra before, and she said she didn't know either, just let me remember it, and I could use it later."
"Then wait until we're done eating and see what spells you can use."
"Good!"
After the two of them quickly finished the food, they began to try.
"Xiao You and I said that people's abilities are mainly divided into four types according to their attributes: wood, water, fire, and earth, and in addition to this, there is also a light system. Xiao You only taught me the spells of wood, water, fire and earth, and she didn't know about the light system. ”
"Is it possible that your attribute is light-based?"
"I don't know, in the past two years, I've rarely seen people with dolls, and there are even fewer opportunities to see others use spells, and I also imitated the appearance of Chizhu when he used spells, so I succeeded."
"I see, then you can try again now if you can use the fire technique."
"Good!" After speaking, Zijin began to recite the incantation: "Sun, moon and stars, thunder and lightning, wind and clouds, god of fire, burn!" I saw a small black flame appear on the palm of Zigui's right hand.
"Then try to make the flames bigger." Persistence.
"Great! Big! Big! Zijin ordered, but the size of the flames still didn't change. Hey? Why hasn't it changed? Zijin said suspiciously.
"I don't know. Then you let the fire go out, and we'll try something else. ”
"Extinguish." After saying that, the flame in Zigui's hand disappeared.
"The sun, moon and stars, thunder and lightning, the god of water, out!" After saying that, a small stream of black water appeared in Zigui's hand, and he insisted that Zijin change the size of the water flow, but there was still no change.
Then they tried both earth and wood spells, and while they could both be used, they only showed a small effect. A small pit appears on the ground during the soil system, and a small plant seedling grows in the small soil pit during the wood system, and the soil pit cannot be expanded, and the plants cannot be increased. They tried the other spells, but nothing changed.
"It seems that you can only use the most basic abilities now, and it seems that you can't use them when it comes to the size change."
Zijin was a little disappointed: "I thought that I was stronger now, I could use spells, and if I encountered danger on the road, I could protect us, but now it seems that I am still so weak..."
"It's okay, now that you've proven that you can use these abilities, we can find out if there's any way to enhance them." After hearing this, Zijin nodded.
"Let's see if you can get other parts of Zigui's body to release energy."
"Okay." So Zijin recited the spell of the fire system, but after reciting the spell this time, Zijin thought strongly about his left hand in his mind! Left hand! Left hand!
A flame appeared on Zigui's left hand, and then he thought about his left foot, and a flame also appeared on Zigui's left foot.
"I can control this!" Zijin looked at it excitedly.
Hold gave her a thumbs up.
"Let's practice here today!" Zhi continued: "Rest early today, let's get up tomorrow and continue our journey, and when we get to Pottery Town, we will find someone who understands magic and ask, do you say it's okay?" ”
"Just do as you say." After the decision was settled, Zijin and Zigui entered their tent.
He added some dry branches to the fire and burned it more vigorously before returning to his tent. The little girl jumped up and down and followed him in.
Although he got into the tent, Zijin felt that it was very cold in the tent compared to being outside just now, even if he wore thick clothes and covered the quilt, he still felt that his body was cold and not warm. However, she was so tired that she fell asleep after a while, and Zigui sat in the corner of the tent to guard her.
The night was getting deeper, and the winter woods were so quiet that it seemed as if only the sound of the branches burning outside the tent could be heard.
"Kid, kid, Xiao Yan, you're back. My child, you're back. Confused, he felt a voice in his ears.
"Xiaoyan, go home quickly! Xiao Yan! The voice gradually became clearer.
He opened his eyes violently, and it was who was talking.
There was no one in front of him, so he sat up and looked around the tent, but there was no one, and he looked out through the curtain of the tent, but there was no one except the branches that were still burning outside and the big man who was being tethered. Zhi looked at Zijin's tent again, and it was also quiet.
Zhi decided to continue sleeping, and as soon as he covered the quilt, he suddenly felt that something was missing.
"Little girl?" Persistence screamed, but there was no movement.
"Little girl? Come out! Zhi screamed twice, but there was still no response.
I'm a little anxious, and I'll definitely accompany him when I sleep, but now it's gone.
Zhi immediately got up, walked out of the tent and looked around, there was no big boy on him, not in front of the fire, he shouted softly twice more little boy, there was no movement.
Zhi ran to Zijin's tent, first called Zijin's name, and when Zijin woke up and reacted, Zhi asked, "Did the little girl run to you?" ”
"No, the little boy is not with me." After speaking, Zijin also walked out of the tent.
"What's wrong?" Zijin asked.
"The little boy is gone, have you seen the little girl?" He asked Zigui, who was still in the tent.
"The little boy didn't come to us." Zigui replied.
"Did you hear anything?" Zhi asked.
"I didn't hear anything other than you calling me a little girl." Zigui said.
"Maybe it's a little boy who is playful and ran into the forest!" Zijin guessed: "Maybe the little girl will come back in a while." ”
"I'm a little worried that it won't run around as long as it goes out with me to buy things except at home. No, I'll have to find it! After saying that, he was about to act, but Zijin grabbed him and said:
"You calm down first. It's so dark, we don't know how big the forest is, and it would be too bad if we couldn't find the boy and we got lost. ”
"But I just heard someone talking, what if that person took the little girl away?"
"There is no one, Zigui didn't wake me up, he didn't sleep, which means he didn't hear anyone coming. Let's do it, let's wait here until dawn, if the little boy hasn't come back by then, let's go into the forest to find it, so it's easy to find and it's not easy to get lost, okay? ”
Zhi looked at the boundless night, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's wait here first!" ”
The two sat around the fire, they were waiting, waiting for the little girl to come back, waiting for the dawn, waiting for the dawn.
