Chapter 12: Growth

The bitterly cold winter obviously couldn't add a single wrinkle to the young Fire Maple Mountain Range. Aside from paving the earth with a snow-white patch, it couldn't change the ever-red fiery maple, the river that flowed all the time, and the two of them who never stopped moving.

At this time, I once again launched a charge at the broken ground that was still half-crouching. Although my attacks haven't taken a step back in the past three months, I've not been without progress during this time. From the first finger, to the palm, to the last pair. As my body and skills grew stronger day by day, Breaking Earth needed to be more serious to fend off my attacks.

I rushed to the ground, jumped high, and kicked him in the face with my right leg. Seeing my attack, he grabbed my right foot with his left hand and hit me in the head with his right fist. As if I had a premonition, I propped up his right fist with my left hand, and then stretched out my right fist and struck him in the head again. Seeing that I was about to succeed, Breaking Ground immediately pushed out his left hand, which grabbed my right foot, and tried to distance himself from me. But what he didn't expect was that at this moment I borrowed the force he pushed me forward, spun my body upwards, and finally tapped my left foot on the door of his head, ending the training.

Borrowed the force of his left foot on his head and landed smoothly, and then looked at him with a smile in his eyes. In fact, this process, which seemed to outsiders to be just a few breaths, took me three full months of hard work.

Three months ago, when I first put on the training uniform of Nalongchuan Country, it was very difficult to walk at first, and I could only walk for three to five minutes. However, fortunately, although the eyebrow grass absorbs some of the body's energy substances, it does not affect the body's absorption of food. With the help of eyebrow grass to restore my body and meat to food, I quickly adapted to the training clothes and became more and more powerful. Although my body has not yet reached the limit of the load strength of this garment, I can feel that it is not far from that strength.

In terms of combat skills, I learned from Howling Wind that I had mental strength. In the past three months, after my continuous exploration, I slowly learned to control this power. But what is aggrieved is that my mental strength is not strong enough now.

I remember the last time I used my mental power, and I wanted to control the ground breaking like I controlled the purple-eyed black panther. As a result, his subconscious murderous aura rebounded my spiritual power, and I lay in bed for three days. And even with eyebrow grass can't alleviate that pain. That is, from that moment on, I no longer dared to use my mental power to control the breaking of the ground, and after that, I only used my spiritual power to perceive the action of breaking the ground.

However, even if I can only perceive movements with mental power, it has also allowed me to improve my combat skills rapidly. Thanks to the help of mental power, I slowly went from being beaten passively, gradually to resisting the attack, until finally I took the initiative to attack and hit him.

Seeing that I was looking at myself with a smile on my face at this time, I broke the ground and said angrily: "Stinky boy, once in a while, it's just that you are lucky, what is there to be happy about?"

But after saying this, he will also smile heartily. Looking at this boy, who was still a bean sprout before, has become a strong boy who is now a little taller than he squatted. At this time, he must be very proud to be a "master".

I made a gesture of eight in front of my face, and then I smiled and said to him, "Old fellow, don't make excuses for failure. I'm so handsome, I'm not ashamed to be beaten by me. ”

I heard the earth break and then scolded with a smile: "Get out! Your mission has been completed today, run for your life." Then he went into the house.

The moment he returned to the house, the smiles on each other's faces were gone, and all that was exchanged was silent sadness.

Today is the last day of these three months. And with today's escape time and my current speed, I'm sure I'll be able to get to town before dawn.

In these three months, we have changed from enemies to friends, from "human traffickers" and untitled people to "old guys" and "stinky boys" now. Although he never asked my name, I could clearly feel his recognition and respect for me from the way he looked at me.

He stood there for a long time, and then he put aside his sorrow and strode forward, running briskly in the direction of the river.

Although the road by the river was covered with snow and ice, the terrain was nothing to me after three months of walking. I just walked through the landscape in front of me.

Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar fire maple forests along the way, I recalled the escape experience of three months and nights.

Three months ago, because of my training clothes, I couldn't go very far even if I ran all night on the eyebrows. And with the mental power that I can only observe living creatures, those hidden traps are not detected at all. But over time, these traps developed my instincts for danger. Maybe it wasn't the intention of breaking ground, but it did allow me to avoid the pitfalls.

And my speed has also increased because of my increased strength. It's not as fast as breaking ground now, but it's much faster than when I first arrived.

Finally, just as it was almost dawn, a building appeared in front of me. I took two quick steps forward, and finally stopped on a low mound and smiled knowingly.

"It's finally here!"

My smile didn't last long before it disappeared. I've fantasized about arriving in town countless times, but by the time I actually arrived, I had lost the joy I had imagined.

"Even if I get to town, I'm still alone. Even if I leave Breaking Ground and go to a new place, will I be as truly free as I imagined? Although Breaking Earth is a human trafficker who abducted me, he is more sincere to me than anyone else in my previous life. And I'm leaving him like this now, what will he do in the future? Is my heart really willing?"

At this time, Xiaofeng came to me at some point and said to me, "Xiao Tiancheng, why don't you leave? ”

"Brother Howling Wind, can I ask you something?" I asked it

The next day, early in the morning.

The owner of this bear-like body was not affected by the seasons and chose "cat winter". He still got up as usual as before, but the difference today was that he didn't choose to continue chasing as usual, the stinky boy who played poor with him every day just sat back on his black iron rocking chair with a confused look in his eyes, silently looking into the distance.

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the house, and he hurriedly walked out of the room to look in the direction of the source of the sound.

I saw a white-haired young man in a black one-piece suit walking on a horse, holding a wooden stick in both hands, and constantly stabbing at the white spots on the wall of the black cell next to him.

Looking at the face that was still full of childishness, now it has added a bit of resolute and lovely face, and at this time, the eyes of the broken earth have been moistened.

But he didn't let the moistness in his eyes last long, and then wiped his face with his hand, and then said loudly to me: "Stinky boy, let you go, why are you coming back?"

I then turned my head to look at the broken earth, and said to him with relief, "I can't bear you." ”

After breaking the ground, he was stunned in place after hearing my words. But soon a smile appeared on his face, and he walked up to my side and said, "Stinky boy, I was originally going to give you a gift yesterday, but it seems that it is not too late to give you today." ”

"What gift?" I asked expectantly

But then he did a strange trick at me. I saw him walk up to me and put his big hand on my chest. I didn't know what I meant, and looked at him suspiciously. But at that moment, the hand he placed on my chest suddenly exerted a force and pushed me backwards.

I looked at him in amazement, and then flew uncontrollably towards the cliff.
