Chapter 9: Time Accelerates
The evening sunset finally fell reluctantly, and the cold moonlight had already hung on the treetops. The people of the tribe lit their own boiled animal oleoresin to light up their warm huts.
Lin Chen looked at the rice piled up in the bowl, and he couldn't laugh or cry. If you put it in the usual amount of Lin Chen's food, these meals are not enough, but this is already his third bowl of rice tonight, even if Lin Chen can eat it again, he is only a twelve-year-old child, and the amount of food has a bottom line.
"Eat more, eat more!" Lin Yanmei on the side kept giving Lin Chen vegetables, and kept telling him to eat.
"Mother, I really can't eat it!" Lin Chen tilted his head and whispered. He really couldn't eat it, but Lin Yanmei kept serving him vegetables, and Lin Chen was embarrassed to refuse, until there was no room in his stomach before he brought it up. Maybe in Lin Chen's opinion, only in this way can he live up to Lin Yanmei's worries in the past few days and make himself feel better.
"Alas, this kid, how much do you eat, I shout to eat meat and eat meat every day on weekdays, but now I don't eat meat when I have meat" Lin Yanmei stretched out her hand and pulled down her scattered sideburns, and said with some blame.
"Oh, look what you've become. The child is full, why do you have to force him to do it!" Lin Deyou, who was sitting opposite Lin Chen, knocked on the table, his face was serious, and he looked like the principal of the family.
"Didn't you pick up the vegetables, so you are jealous! What kind of person, even your own son is jealous" Lin Yanmei glanced at the corner of her eyes, pursed her lips and said with a giggle.
"What are you talking about in front of the child!" Lin Deyou scratched his head in embarrassment. However, he didn't explain anything, because Lin Deyou was willing to pretend to be the center of thought, and he was willing to protect them for the rest of his life.
Lin Chen also laughed loudly on the side, looking at the smile on his mother's face, pretending to be embarrassed by his father, Lin Chen carefully enjoyed the warmth of this moment.
"Father, Mother, let me protect you and our home!"
After a burst of laughter, Lin Chen looked at Lin Deyou, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Father, what is the matter with the hunter selection that Lin Hai said before?"
"The so-called hunter selection means that each tribe selects a young hunter between the ages of twelve and fifteen every ten years, and then these young hunters will gather to the riverside tribe to participate in the Qishan Championship. Lin Deyou looked at Lin Chen in front of him, he didn't think that Lin Chen had the opportunity to participate in the Qishan Championship. Even the tribe's hunter selection battle estimated that Lin Chen was not Lin Yuanqing's opponent at all, not that Lin Deyou looked down on Lin Chen. But in fact, it took two or three months for Lin Chen to recover from the stubborn disease of his right arm to learn hunting skills behind Lin Deyou, and he had not studied systematically in the previous ten years.
Lin Yuanqing is known as the first young hunter in the tribe, and this is definitely not blown. Being able to follow an adult hunter to round up a blue wolf at a young age is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Qishan Tournament?Riverside Tribe?" Lin Chen, a riverside tribe, has heard of some of them, this is a large tribe thousands of miles away from here, and the population of the entire tribe is hundreds of thousands. They even built a riverside city, which can be said to be the center within tens of thousands of miles. As for the Qishan Championship, Lin Chen didn't know anything about it.
"Yes, I once represented my clan in a Qishan Tournament. It's only when you've seen the majesty of Riverside City that you realize how small the place you live in!
"Alright, alright, don't mention your useless past. Back then, you just barely passed the first round, what is there to brag about here" Lin Yanmei interrupted Lin Deyou's memories, she still knew a little about what happened back then.
In the Qishan Championship that year, even people like Lin Deyou barely made it to the second round by virtue of talent and luck. However, they were eliminated at the beginning of the second round, and only those who actually made it to the final were in the middle of the elite.
"Wow, father, you actually participated in the Qishan Championship! And you actually entered the second round, father, you are really very good!" Lin Chen on the side looked at Lin Deyou with adoring eyes, he firmly believed that he would eventually replace his father, but this regret.
"Okay, stinky boy, now learn to pat on the back!" Lin Deyou knocked Lin Chen's forehead with a smile, and then said, "Chen'er, how sure are you in this tribal hunter selection?"
"What are you sure of, our Chen'er is not uncommon. I just want him to stay by my side with peace of mind, we don't need the false name of a hunter" Lin Yanmei pulled Lin Chen's arm and grabbed it tightly, for fear that Lin Chen would disappear again.
"Your woman's opinion. Chen'er is a man, do you want him to hide behind you and me for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Can't you?! You don't want to, you can go, I'm willing to guard Chen'er for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, you"
"Father, mother, stop arguing. I have to participate in this hunter selection and the Qishan Championship. My wish since I was a child is to become a hunter, and I want to shelter you from the wind and rain," Lin Chen stood up with a firm look in his eyes.
"Chen'er" Lin Yanmei looked at Lin Chen with a firm face, she knew that she couldn't change Lin Chen's mind at all, and after some hesitation and contradiction, she could only nod in agreement.
"This is my Lin Deyou's son, hahaha"
Lin Chen's participation in the selection of hunters was decided on an ordinary night, and there was still half a month before the fifth day of the next month, and in the next time, Lin Chen went into the mountains again under the leadership of Lin Deyou to hunt and learn hunting skills. However, this time, Lin Chen and the others never spent the night in the mountains, they all set off in the morning and returned in the evening, which seemed to be very regular
The night was always so quiet, Lin Chen, who had returned from hunting in the mountains, finished his day's study, and sat on the small bed in his room after rinsing.
Turning off the oil lamp, Lin Chen did not fall asleep as usual, but sat upright on the bed like an old monk, holding a strange trick with his hands on his chest, and the whole person soon lay down on his side, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Chen was already asleep.
In fact, at this time, Lin Chen appeared in a three-story wooden tower, each wooden tower is ten meters high, and the tower is depicted with all kinds of demon birds and beasts, or hideous, or terrifying, lifelike, and so on. The appearance of the entire wooden tower was the same as the small wooden tower that Lin Chen had obtained before!
Lin Chen carefully looked at the stone tablet floating above the first floor of the wooden tower, and the gray stone tablet was engraved with four traditional gilt characters "Time Acceleration".
Lin Chen also entered it unintentionally in his sleep a few days ago, although he had obtained the mysterious wooden pagoda and had some secret connections with each other, but Lin Chen had never known how to use it. According to Chaoyangzi, this small wooden pagoda is a great treasure, but Lin Chen doesn't know how to use it, and it's in vain. It wasn't until one day that he accidentally entered this place in his sleep and learned this strange trick and was able to enter the small tower.
The first floor of the tower was an empty space, and there was nothing but the stone tablet floating overhead. The space that was not bright was quiet and a little terrifying, and there was no sound except for Lin Chen's breathing. There was no passage or escalator to the second floor on the entire first floor, and Lin Chen had also searched for it, but he found nothing at all, so he had to give up.
"Now!" Lin Chen had obviously already mastered the use of this place, and as he shouted, the scene in his mind suddenly appeared here.
A bow and arrow made of the main artery of the backbone of the green fire wolf appeared in his hand, the body of the arrow made of the heart of the hundred-year-old camphor tree, with a string tanned by wolf tendons, only this bow is worth at least three tiger skins. A bow feather is quietly carried behind him, and the quiver supported by the cow leather is tough and durable. Ten meters away from where Lin Chen was standing, the phantom of a green fire wolf appeared at the same time.
Lin Chen had already prepared, and as soon as his right hand touched the arrow behind him, the bow and crossbow of the iron arrow appeared in his hand. Draw a bow with your left and an arrow with your right hand. With a "whoosh", the arrow feather came out of his hand, and the whole process was completed in one go, without the slightest detachment from the water.
"Whew!" a scream came out, and the green fire wolf ten meters away died in response. With the annihilation of this green fire wolf, the phantom of more beasts appeared not far away. There are green fire wolves, earth black bears, and sawtooth leopards
However, Lin Chen was not surprised at all, he pulled his bow and arrows again, and with a few "whoosh" sounds, the beast phantom that appeared again was broken one by one by the arrow feathers shot by Lin Chen. Half an hour later, as Lin Chen's mind moved, the bow and arrow in his hand and the green fire wolf ten meters away all disappeared.
"Ink wolf pounces", "beast fist hundred turns", "hungry wolf lock throat" This is a set of forging boxing methods, hunters must not only learn to shoot prey from a distance, but also learn to fight in close combat.
In the entire space of the first layer, Lin Chen began to practice this basic boxing technique over and over again, either killing like a hungry wolf, or punching like the wind, leaving an afterimage of the Dao, or hitting the vital point like a hungry wolf locking his throat. What even Lin Chen didn't know was that every move he made had been refined and perfected.
After such an hour, Lin Chen finally couldn't support it anymore and collapsed to the ground.
"This wooden pagoda is really a treasure, not only can I directly conjure up what I see in my mind here, but time seems to be much faster here than outside. If I'm not wrong, it's ten minutes here, and the real time outside is only one minute"
"Hahaha, with this small tower, doesn't it mean that it will take ten days for others to learn a hunting skill in the future, and I only need one day! There are still ten days left, maybe only ten days for others, but for me it is more than a hundred days."
"Lin Yuanqing, at the Hunter Selection Competition, I want to return all the shame you put on me before, ten times and a hundred times!"
"And those who have laughed at me before, I want you to know that I, Lin Chen, am not a waste!" The entire wooden tower floor kept echoing Lin Chen's voice, over and over again!
