At dusk, the sunset was red through half of the sky, and An Wen saw that he took An Xiaofu and Xi to camp in a valley.

"I see, we've been walking for half a month, but there are still mountains in front of us."

An Xiaofu sat in a hammock made of cobwebs to rest: "We can't go on like this forever." ”

"It's only been half a month."

An Wenjian took out a full set of cooking tools and ingredients from his sleeve: "For the time being, I haven't found a place that meets my expectations and is suitable for building a house." Be patient and follow me slowly. ”

"Half a month, if I go to a place with a strong spiritual aura, go on an adventure, hunt spirit beasts, and look for heavenly and earthly treasures, I may have built a foundation..."

An Xiaofu thought in pieces.

She knew that she couldn't say anything, so she only dared to beep like this.

[Hearing that is right, you need to be patient. As for hunting spirit beasts, we have encountered spirit beasts several times along the way, why don't you go up? 】

[I heard that the move was too fast, and he wouldn't let me do it.] 】

[I think that if you tell Wen Jian directly that you want to exercise with a spirit animal, he will catch one overnight and put it in front of you. 】

[Hmm... Try it! 】

"Smell!"

An Xiaofu raised her voice and shouted, and when An Wen saw it, she said, "I want to exercise more and improve my strength as soon as possible." At least, when he faces a monk like Po Yu again, he won't be caught without the power to fight back. ”

"I'm glad you think so."

An Wenjian smiled and said, "Then starting tonight, I will slowly teach you some combat ideas." Although the techniques taught to you in the past are not mainly used in combat, as long as you change your thinking, they will not be weak in battle. ”

"Uh..."

An Xiaofu's eyes were a little evasive, and finally asked: "I heard, in addition to what you taught, I also want to practice other things by myself, for example... Swordsmanship. ”

"Yes."

An Wen saw that he was unimpressed: "Do you need me to catch a few spirit beasts to accompany you to practice?" Or help you make a few practice swords? ”

"No, no, just start waving the branches."

An Xiaofu refused unnaturally, and after a while, she spoke again: "Smell, you... Don't ask me anything? ”

"You don't want me to ask."

An Wenjian looked at the food in the pot: "Besides, if I ask, will you answer honestly?" ”

An Xiaofu thought for a while before saying, "Probably, no." ”

"So it's better for me not to ask."

An Wenjian lifted the lid of the pot, took out the freshly made braised meat and noodles, and brought it to An Xiaofu: "No matter what you hide from me, as long as you are still An Xiaofu I am familiar with." ”

An Xiaofu looked relieved: "You are, think so." ”

"Or else?"

An Wen took a bite of noodles, quickly chewed two bites and swallowed: "Do you think that because you have something to hide from me, I will be suspicious all day long, keep asking, or drive you away?" ”

An Xiaofu lowered her head embarrassedly, and the index fingers of both hands were little by little.

"Even if you don't want to call your father, the fact that I am your adoptive father will not change."

An Wenjian shook his head: "Trust me a little more, silly girl." ”

An Xiaofu still lowered her head, but her expression was suddenly not good.

[Ahhh When I heard it, I still treated me as a daughter! 】

[Otherwise? How big do you think we are now? 】

[That being said, but in a few years, won't it be even more difficult to change the perception of smell!?] 】

[You picked it yourself.] 】

[Aren't you me?! 】

After dinner, An Xiaofu picked up a branch casually, found a relatively open place in the camp, and waved the branch one by one.

"Hey, let's continue to study today."

An Wenjian quickly finished sorting it out and hugged Xi up: "Your formation talent is really good, learn more, maybe you can turn into a spider monster faster." ”

"Hiss......"

A lazy spider let out a sigh of resignation.

The bright moon hung high, An Xiaofu finished the exercise, cleaned her whole body with water purification, and returned to the spider web hammock to lie down.

There is a formation around the camp to ensure that there are no mosquitoes or wild animals in the camp.

[I can eat three meals a day on time, except that there is no toilet, there is no place to take a bath, and I feel that there is not much difference between being outside and being in the Taoist temple. 】

[That's heard.] You know what we used to be like when we went out. 】

【…… I'm going to sleep. 】

I'll go out for a while. 】

[Don't take too long, you have to hurry tomorrow.] 】

[Yes.] 】

In the spider web hammock, An Xiaofu, who had just lay down, suddenly sat up again, did not get off the ground, looked around, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She glanced at An Wen in another cobwebbed hammock and lay down again, looking at the moon, not knowing what to think.

After a while, An Xiaofu waved out of thin air, and the branch she used to swing and practice during the day flew up without warning, and with another wave, the branch flew straight and pierced into a rock next to it, submerging most of it.

An Xiaofu shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied, and then lay down again and fell asleep.

The next day, pack up the camp and move on.

In the next few days, when they encountered some of the more ferocious spirit beasts, An Wen would use the formation to weaken the ability of the spirit beasts, and then let An Xiaofu step forward to "practice the sword".

If he was at ease, An Wen would slowly reduce the effect of the formation until An Xiaofu and the spirit beast's abilities were roughly balanced.

At the end of the battle, the way the spirit beast is handled, depending on the situation.

Edible and delicious spirit animals will be fully processed into ingredients and reserve grain;

If the spirit beast is not edible or not delicious, An Wenjian will treat it simply and then release it.

As the number of battles increased, An Xiaofu's progress was somewhat unexpected by An Wen.

In the first four battles, she could only rely on her dexterity to maneuver.

In the fifth battle, An Xiaofu was already able to cut through the tough fur of the spirit beast with the branches she picked up casually.

After that, An Xiaofu's fighting style changed dramatically, and the original sense of dexterity suddenly disappeared, and she became a reckless man who only knew the front.

Even several spirit beasts that were not intended to be killed were also cut to death by An Xiaofu's "chaotic sword".

[Not only do you get back the feeling of fighting, but even your murderous intent is getting stronger. "In the past" I am afraid there have been quite a few battles. 】

An Wen couldn't help but be a little worried, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he shouted "can't be wasted", and deliberately made the spirit beast that An Xiaofu cut to death with his sword into a "miscellaneous boil".

After eating a few "impressive" mixed dishes, An Xiaofu finally noticed An Wenjian's thoughts, realized her own problems, reined in, and no longer killed spirit beasts at will.

I was glad to see that the exercise was so effective, and I also tried to fight the spirit beast a few times.

But after the actual combat test, it was found that Xi's combat ability was already too strong, and most of the spirit beasts encountered could not last one round, and there was almost no training effect.

As a result, heads-up spirit animals have become An Xiaofu's exclusive exercise method.

In this way, the two of them went all the way north, and two months later, they successfully reached the end of the mountain range.

"Finally turned over!"

An Xiaofu stood halfway up the last mountain of the mountain range, no longer a mountain peak in front of her, but a vast jungle, and she couldn't see the edge at a glance: "Smell, which way do we go next?" ”
