Chapter 5. Training in the village
In front of him, a sturdy man covered in scars was waving his arms and shouting loudly with spittle. Hundreds of children between the ages of three and ten stood in the open space in twos and threes, with immature faces, trying their best to make a serious look.
The humans of this planet are similar to the humans of Earth, except that their skin is dark blue and looks like steel. In addition, there is a deep mark in the center of the forehead, as if a knife has passed for a moment, but other than that, it is no different from the human on Earth.
“…… What is strength, strength is food, strength is delicious meat. Only when we are stronger than the beasts, faster than the beasts, and faster than the beasts, can we catch more and more delicious prey......"
Li Ran, who was standing in the middle of a group of little children, pouted slightly, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Isn't this the slogan of the Olympics, faster, higher, stronger!" ”
But he also understands that this is a truth summed up from the bloody survival, not a casual slogan shouted by the Olympics. Only if you are stronger than the beast can you catch the beast. Get more food to ensure the village's long-term survival.
“…… So, in order to make your group of babies stronger and faster, from now on, each of you will carry a small stone and run ten laps around the village. ”
The sturdy man turned around and walked towards the four-meter-high boulder leaning against the foot of the mountain.
Li Ran seemed to anticipate what incredible things would happen next, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the strong man tightly.
As he walked into the boulder, the strong man's fist gradually tightened, and then he poked out like lightning and slammed into the boulder. Li Ran almost only saw an afterimage, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded on the ground.
After the fist was withdrawn, the strong man took a slight breath, and it had subsided after a while. He turned around in satisfaction. The pile of boulders behind him had already appeared a circle of spiderweb-like cracks, and in the center of the cracks, there was a pothole the size of a basin, which was caused by the strong man's fist.
In the blink of an eye, the cracks became more and more and deeper, and after a while, they broke apart and piled up into a pile of rubble on the ground.
Li Ran's eyes bulged with incredible surprise: "This ...... Is this still the power that humans can have? Is this still human flesh? ”
Li Ran looked at the fist that the strong man had just attacked, and there was not the slightest scar on the surface of the fist, but it was slightly ruddy. As you can see, the fist is much harder than the stone. This race is simply a bunch of monsters.
"Hehe, now you bunches of babies, each pick a small stone."
The children around them, except for a bitter little face, did not have the slightest look of surprise, obviously such things often happen. Some of the children had already gone to the pile of rubble and started picking.
It is said that it is gravel, but in fact, each piece is very large, the big one is more than two meters in diameter, and the small one is the size of a basketball. In the gravity of this planet, the lightest is also six or seven hundred kilograms.
Li Ran weighed his little arms and legs, ready to pick the smallest stone.
But when Li Ran saw a child who had just been weaned in his previous life easily lift a boulder the size of a basketball, he immediately changed his mind.
"It seems that the strength of this race is far stronger than I think!"
He hesitated for a moment and decided to choose a boulder the size of a basin.
When Li Ran walked towards the boulder, the surrounding children actually stopped their movements and looked at him excitedly, and some of them even carried a kind of mockery.
He chuckled in his heart, could he really not lift this boulder? But now it's hard to ride a tiger, not to mention that he also has an adult soul, and he was ridiculed by a bunch of children.
He grabbed the boulder, took a deep breath, and then lifted it so hard that it lifted off the ground and slowly rose. His hands were bruised, and his face suddenly flashed a flush, and suddenly he let out a loud shout. Lift the boulder above your head with all your might. Although his thin arms trembled slightly, he still raised them steadily.
The children around couldn't help but show surprise, and their immature little faces showed an incredible look.
Such a boulder, this waste that could not even be beaten a year younger than him in the past can indeed be lifted, but it definitely cannot be lifted above the head. Not even a little smaller than this stone. Could it be that after being unconscious once, his strength increased overnight.
"Bang!" A child who was watching the excitement suddenly flew up in the air and fell four or five meters away.
The big man retracted his feet and scolded with an unkind face:
"You babies, you are really uneasy, hurry up and pick a small stone, and run for me now."
The children scattered, and after choosing a stone, they ran to the front. Li Ran saw that most of the children who were the same height as him had selected stones similar to him, and some children had even bigger boulders above their heads.
Li Ran's fragile self-esteem burst out from the bottom of his heart, he gritted his teeth, and he didn't plan to change the stones.
Running towards the front with difficulty with both feet, it is said to be running, but in fact, it is not much different from walking. After running less than ten meters, he felt that his hands and feet had begun to weaken, and the strength was rapidly withdrawing from him, and he secretly complained in his heart.
If it weren't for perseverance, he wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago.
100 meters, 1,000 meters......
Whenever he is almost at the limit, there will always be a surge of power in his body to keep him going.
He didn't know how far he had run, his hands and feet were getting heavier and heavier, and the boulder above his head, like a mountain peak, weighed down on him, making it difficult for him to move. Sweat gushes out of the pores like a fountain. Where he was going, there were already water stains all the way.
He staggered forward, his teeth oozing bloodshot from the exertion.
The vision in front of me became more and more blurred, and the spirit began to be in a trance. Suddenly, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
I don't know how long later, Li Ran woke up leisurely and found that he was already lying on his wooden bed. The thought of fainting twice in less than two days made him smile wryly.
He bowed, his fists clenched slightly, and there was an incredible look in his eyes. He found that there was not the slightest strain on his body. In the case of using one's ultimate strength like yesterday, when you are in a coma, after waking up in a normal state, you should not be able to lift your strength.
But now this body doesn't seem to have any sequelae except for a little soreness in the muscles, which is a bit incredible.
