Rodin sat down, his breath swelling in his chest and abdomen, and the naked eye could see a snake of breath rising and falling, like an arm, following the command of his mind, along the line of the most familiar twist, slowly and regularly moving. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before he knew it, Rodin woke up from his slumber, his body covered with a faint mist, and drops of dew hung between the branches and leaves of the trunk. Although there is no sleep and breathing, it makes him refreshed, and he does not feel sour, soft and numb because of his sedentary lifestyle. It is no wonder that the old monks in the legend meditate all day long and recite the scriptures, but their bodies are safe and sound, and they estimate that they also have special exercise methods similar to breathing.

At this moment, the morning light sprinkled from between the trees, and he couldn't help stretching his body and taking a deep breath of the forest air. Moist, fresh, filled with the raw smell of earth and fallen leaves, it soothed his senses.

Slowly climbing down the trunk of the tree, the ground still bears the traces of last night's battle. Last night's chase with the fog demon completely disoriented him, and he couldn't even find the mark he had made before, so he had to start all over again.

In the early morning, everything in the forest is revived, with strange insects, birds flying in the branches, and occasionally small beasts peeking out of the bushes, and pompom-like bodies are cute. Rodin had no intention of appreciating it, and after the events of the previous night, who knew what dangerous monsters were still hidden in the forest, he hurriedly ate some berries to fill his stomach, and set out to find a way out.

However, the more eager he became, the more cruel the reality became. From the morning when the dew was vague to the hot noon, the forest sea was endless and still vast. Rodinyu wandered aimlessly unbelievingly, and finally, at the end of his vision, there was an object beyond the vegetation—a faint wooden house.

In the depths of this vast forest, under the ravages of all kinds of wild beasts and unknown dangers, there are still people living here?

A veteran hunter or a recluse, whether good or evil, is not an ordinary person.

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and Rodin quietly approached the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, another surprise appeared in his field of vision—about ten meters in front of the wooden house, there was a lake with rippling blue waves and no end in sight.

This is definitely the lake in the center of the forest that Leviathan said, the lake where the carcinolia grows. This meant that he was one step closer to that particular breathing method, and even the most ordinary rock breathing method was quite subtle and benefited him a lot.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Rodin came to the wooden house, knocked on the door, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone in the house?"

"Who is it?" suddenly a hoarse, vicissitudes of life boy came out of the room.

Rodin said sincerely: "Hello, I am a lost traveler in the forest, and I want to ask you for directions. ”

"Jumping" heavy footsteps came, it seemed that the whole room was shaking slightly, and after a while, the wooden door was suddenly opened, and a person walked out of it.

Rodin couldn't help but sigh, what a great man. At least two heads taller than Rodin, with a lion nose and a wide mouth, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a powerful force, and a mang's cloth coat, which could hardly hide his majestic and majestic momentum, and his bare chest and arms were full of dark and thick hair, like a humanoid beast.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the big man unceremoniously, his face hideous, as if he would fight without a satisfactory answer.

Although Rodin was a little surprised by his rather intimidating appearance, he was a person after all, and the demons and monsters had also seen it, but he was not surprised, and replied in a sincere tone: "

"Hello, my name is Rodin, and I am a member of the guard in the nearby town of Hideaway, who accidentally went into the forest and got lost. I didn't expect to meet people in the forest. ”

The big man looked at Rodin condescendingly, and when he saw that his face did not change, he suddenly laughed, as if he had exploded thunder out of thin air, which shocked Rodin's ears slightly and his heart was slightly displeased.

"You're not afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you? Are you a robber or a murderous executioner?" replied Rodin nonchalantly. The big man touched his rugged chin and seemed satisfied.

"Call me Lincoln. ”

"It's not quiet in the forest during this time, and ordinary people can't get here, so you can see that you have put a lot of effort into it. ”

"It's not hard to take you out. But it's dinner at this time, and you must not have eaten lunch with your dusty appearance, so come into the house and make do with a meal first. Then he turned and walked into the house, as if he was sure that Rodin would follow.

In fact, Rodin had no choice.

The interior of the house is simply decorated, but it has everything you need. The bed, the table and chairs, the fireplace, all look old, and in the far corner is a table of glassware, similar to the equipment in the chemistry experiment of the previous life. The ground was covered with an unrecognizable hide, soft to step on. Looking around, on the walls of logs, hung the heads of several large beasts: bears, elk, wolves. Seeing the last thing, Rodin couldn't help but be moved, the ugly head that hung like an awl and blue-gray was exactly what he had seen last night, which made him disgraced and slaughtered most of the wolf pack of fog demons.

Something was boiling in a saucepan on the fireplace, and Lincoln crouched in front of the fire, holding a spoon and stirring it in the pot.

"It was cooked right away. Make sure you eat from mouth to mouth. “

Rodin was a little apprehensive when he saw the equipment in the corner and the trophy on the wall, but after thinking about it, he relaxed again and went to the fireplace to take a look.

In the stew pot, you can see squatting cooked fish from time to time, as well as a lot of nuts and vegetables, mixed together, into a pot of milky white soup, constantly exuding a fragrant smell.

After a while, the fish soup was ready, and Lincoln served Rodin a whole large bowl, and the large pieces of fish were suspended on the soup, and the oil was shiny and tempting. Rodin hadn't eaten anything hot for most of the day, and he was already hungry in his stomach, but he didn't suspect him, and he was sweating profusely, the fish was stewed in his mouth, the fish bones became crispy and delicious, with unknown spices and side dishes, his tongue was hot and he kept exhaling, but his mouth couldn't control his movement.

Lincoln held a bowl of fish soup and asked with interest, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

Rodin chewed the fish in his mouth, and returned disapprovingly: "You can kill that thing on the wall, if you really want to deal with me, I don't think I can escape? “

"Haha, I like to talk to a cheerful person like you, eat with confidence, but you have to speed up, slow down, and the pot will be gone." The big man teased a few words, and began to open his belly for a while.

Luo Dan thought that his food was already rare, but he thought that the big man was even more amazing, and most of the bowl of fish and meat would be wiped out in one bite, and the speed was really unattainable.

"Slow down, leave me some. “

Bowl after bowl, the two of them were like a game in the end, their bodies were full of heat, their mouths were full of oil, and in just ten minutes, a half-person tall stew full of fish soup was actually eaten to the bottom.

"Hiccup," Rodin slumped in his chair and touched his stomach comfortably, he had eaten the amount of five people in this meal, although it was still far from the big man.

Lincoln stretched out his bright red tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, grinning, "Okay, boy, this belly is the same as what I have." I'm really looking at you more and more pleasing to the eye. “

"I'm still far behind you, how does your stomach grow, I haven't seen any change in my stomach after eating so much. “

After complaining, Rodin pointed to the head of the fog demon with a big grin and asked, "What kind of species is that hanging on the wall, you chased me for several miles last night, but I didn't expect to be killed by you." ”

"It's a fog demon. Legend has it that the Fog Demon haunts forests and swampy wetlands, is cunning and bloodthirsty, and most of the beasts are on its diet, including humans, of course. Possessing the ability to generate and manipulate fog and atomize the body in an instant, it can effectively obscure vision and avoid ordinary damage caused by swords. In general, the more powerful the Fog Demon, the wider the range of fog produced. This is just a little fog demon. “

However, if you don't have a swordsman who has comprehended "power", you can't take it without special means. ”

The two of them leaned back in their chairs and pulled apart, but most of the time Rodin was asking, Lincoln was answering, and most of the sensitive questions involving him he avoided answering.

"Why don't you go back to living in the crowd and be lonely?"

"Isn't it good to be at ease alone than to look at other people's faces? Besides, there are so many cuties in the forest with me, how can I be lonely?"

"Don't hide it, tell me what it seems to be for here, maybe I can give some advice. “

After a conversation with Lincoln, he felt that the big man was still quite honest, so Rodin told the truth: "I am looking for the stone heart, and I heard that it can be found at the bottom of the lake in the forest. “

"I see, but the bottom of this lake is not very flat, are you sure you want to go down?"

"Well, is there any danger in the lake?"

"Have you heard of the water ghosts?"

"Drowned, resentful ghosts?" Rodin remembered the ghost of the young boy Colin that Zeng Jian had seen.

"The legend of the water ghost is the product of witchcraft experiments by witches, lacking intelligence, but having a territorial instinct to protect their territory, subconsciously attacking any creature that enters their territory. ”

"If you want to pick the heart grass, you will inevitably have a battle with the water ghosts, and there is more than one water ghost in the lake. “

Rodin's water nature is also okay, and his combat ability in the water is basically zero. To fight the water ghosts at home is equivalent to killing yourself.

"What is the strength of the water ghosts?"

Lincoln was rough in appearance, but patient, and carefully explained: "The strength and reaction speed are about the same as those of ordinary people, but they are extremely water-savvy, and they are basically unaffected." If a group of people come forward to trap you and cut off your back path, you will only end up drowning. “

"Don't look at the sword you bring, when you get to the water, you know how much strength is left. In my opinion, if you go, you won't come back. Listen to my advice, don't think about quarrying the heart grass, hurry back to Yinyi Town, and now I can send you out of the forest. “

Unwillingly, I finally came here, and I went back like this?

Rodin's eyes moved, and when he saw Lincoln's calm appearance of holding a wisdom bead, he pleaded: "You know the habits of water ghosts so well, there must be a way." Please let me know if you have any conditions, I will do my best to complete it. “

"Well, since you said it so sincerely, then I won't be verbose. “

Lincoln paced slowly and steadily, but his words were like a hammer, striking Rodin's mind.

"I want you to hunt a fog demon for me. ”

"Hunting a fog demon?"

Rodin repeated at Lincoln in disbelief, and when he saw him nod his head with a serious face, he suddenly turned and walked to the door, and said, "Thank you, goodbye." “

"Well, wait, I'm not done yet. Lincoln's burly body flashed vigorously, blocking in front of him, and he smiled: "Of course I won't let you die, although you haven't become a force, but I have a way to make you hurt it." “

"You just have to do what I say, hunt a fog demon nine times out of ten"

Rodin replied with a blank face: "Oh, let's hear it. ”
