It turned out to be a teenager from the reserves, and this tall boy named Pipon had already encountered it for the second time. Mr. Chao felt that the other party's eyes were not friendly when he looked at him.

Pippon walked over and threw the sack on his shoulder on the ground, making a dull 'thud' sound, full of weight. "Is that it? ”

The four reserve boys who followed Pippen did not come forward to help, but stood by with the other teenagers and watched.

"He's pulling it out alone?!" Chao's tone was both surprised and a little skeptical.

Pippen seemed to hear this, and his brown eyes glanced out of the corner of his eye, a sneer on his face.

Pippen wrapped the hemp rope around his wrist twice, and without delay, he immediately exerted his strength.

"Om~Om~" After a high-pitched roar sounded, a faint earthy yellow golden light appeared from Pipun's arms, which could not be detected if he did not pay attention, but Chao was undoubtedly a person with keen vision. Chao looked at Pi Peng in horror, he was actually a fighter, no, more accurately, he was a qi practitioner, or a beginner fighter. If there is a Qi practitioner eyeing him, he will feel a little uneasy in his heart. What surprised him even more was that there were actually Qi practitioners in this remote village. Who is teaching Qi training? Chao was very curious.

The earthy yellow arms instantly possessed infinite strength, and Pippen staggered his hands to pull the hemp rope back into his arms, one by one, faster and faster, and the sweet potatoes broke out of the soil one by one.

"Come out!" Pippen yelled, and with one last blow, the sweet potatoes were all exposed to the ground with the screaming earth spirits.

Nearly fifty people couldn't pull the sweet potato, and Pi Peng pulled it out alone, which showed the strength of the qi practitioner.

Asah's eyes stared at Pippen indeed, and the other responded with a defiant look looking downward.

The earth spirit is like a big potato pimple with limbs, no eyes, a big mouth and nostrils, and thick limbs like strong hundred-year-old tree roots, no wonder the strength is huge, it is covered with dirt all over its body, compared to the wood spirit and the water spirit, it is like a dirty doll.

Its cry was loud, hoarse, and terrifying, and it seemed to have been pulled out of the ground, driving him mad, and its thick limbs smashed everything around it, smashing the sweet potatoes that had just been pulled out of the ground.

The crowd stayed away, motionless and watching.

"Brother Pipun, you're amazing. ”

Pipun's natural demeanor, unimpressed by the praise of the young men, he slowly walked towards the court, "I heard that you shot down the black crow?"

Sure enough, trouble can't be avoided after all, and what should come is still coming.

Swallowing his anger and avoiding it has never been Chao's personality, he looked directly into Pipun's unkind gaze and replied, "That's right. It was a fluke. ”

"Chao, you are too modest. Ono, who didn't smell the smell of gunpowder, continued to add fuel to the fire, "Captain Pipun, Chao's strength is strong, just now, he also fished up the sweet potatoes from Shuiling Lake." ”

"What? is this true?" Pippen was very surprised, even more shocked than when he heard that Chao had shot down the black crow, he was very familiar with the water spirit, and his power in the water was so great that even he couldn't compare to it, but Chao was able to fish out sweet potatoes from them?

"It's just luck. In the face of Pipun's aggressive gaze, Chao was reluctant to respond more.

"It can't be bragging, is it?" the four teenagers who came with Pippen didn't believe it.

"It's true, we've all seen it. Shang Xi spoke out to defend her brother Chao. The other teenagers who were transporting sweet potatoes all nodded.

"It's true, Captain Pipun, Chao's strength should be able to join the reserves, right?" Ono admired Asao from the bottom of his heart, looking at Pipun with anticipation.

"Hmph, if he can really fish something out of the water spirit lake, of course it is not a problem to join the reserve team, I think he should have the strength to replace me as the captain. Pippen stared at Chao's eyes, unable to see anything in his inky eyes, "How about it? Do you want to try? Win me, and you'll be the new captain of the reserves." ”

"Oh~~" The teenagers exclaimed, looking at Chao with a little expectation.

"Captain?" The four reserve boys were a little surprised, but they didn't stop it, they also wanted to see what this newcomer was capable of when he was blown into the sky.

"Nope. Asah's answer disappointed everyone.

Pippen looked at Chao Bu, his gaze showing that he didn't want to stop there.

"Are you scared, or are you ...... You don't bother to be the captain?" Pippon's words were so provocative that at least four reserve boys began to stare fiercely.

"I just don't want to compare, can't I?" no one noticed, and in order to restrain himself, Asahi thrust his toes into the dirt little by little.

At that moment, a reserve teenager rushed in.

"Captain, I found a demon fox in the west, not far from the gap in the beast repellent grass in the west, what should I do?"

Demon foxes are not scary, but these cunning creatures often use their fox cheeks to attract a group of fierce monsters, and then they profit from them. You have to be quick to exorcise the demon fox, or you'll be in trouble—big trouble.

"Damn it, get out!"

Pippen didn't stop, but picked up the sack and walked away amid the cheers and adoring eyes of the teenagers.

No one noticed that after Pippen picked up the sack, one hand very unceremoniously pushed Chao Cong in front of him, and strode away from Chao Qian, the cold snort in his nose seemed to sneer.

In an instant, the suppressed volcano in the chest cavity heated up and rolled again, and a surging battle intent gushed out from his heart. The rough breath exhaled from his nose was as hot as fire, his chest kept rising and falling, under his sword eyebrows, his eyes were as bright as substance, looking at Pipun's back, his hands were clenched into solid fists, trembling rhythmically, as long as there was a little less restraint, his legs would involuntarily rush out of place.

'Don't get into trouble! Don't get into trouble! You want to stay in this village and live, it's foolish to make enemies for the sake of a moment's whim!'

Eventually, Asah's fist loosened, and he twisted around as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until the earth spirits had vented their anger, dug another hole, and burrowed back into the ground, that the boys stepped forward to collect the devastated and broken sweet potato.

"How about catching it?" Chao said. "I have a way. ”

"No, I can't. Ono answered him bluntly. The other children thought they were joking and burst into laughter.

"Why not?" Chao didn't ask, with the experience of Da Niu, he could guess the answer - this is a big mountain village, there is no slavery here, the people here are grateful for everything that God has given them, and even grateful to the beast god who brought them tribulations, how can they be embarrassed by the earth spirit who has always brought them a good harvest?

But the more Chao understood this kind of thinking, the more confused he felt, why did they choose tolerance and forgiveness? If gratitude to the beast god only showed surrender to the strong, then what was the purpose of tolerance for the weak?

"In this world, the whole point of the existence of the weak is only to satisfy the interests of the strong, and the world is the world of the strong. This truth, the man said many times. He has said countless times, "To live, you must become strong!"

"But what if I can't be a strong man?"

"Could it be...... There's no need to exist?"

"I'm working so hard, so hard, but ...... Damn Qi training, is this fate?"

"Do I really want to survive in this village?"

Chao was standing in the sweet potato field and thinking nonsense until Shang Xi and Ono reminded him that it was time to call it a day.

The teenagers of the sweet potato pulling team put the broken sweet potatoes into wooden basins and prepared to make fragrant and sweet sweet potato rice in the evening, which will be the best reward for a day's labor.

"Asah, let's join the reserve team together, shall we?" Ono took a bite of the sweet potato fragment in his hand, and it was crunchy.

"Huh?"

"Don't you know? Around this time of year, the village chief selects boys who have reached the age of twelve to join the reserve team, and you will definitely be selected with your strength. When we enter the reserve team, the village chief of Shangde will teach us how to practice qi. ”

"Qi training?"

"Yes, we'll be just as good as they are. ”

Asa knew that they were the members of the reserve team in Ono's mouth.

Asa didn't answer him in the affirmative, but Ono didn't seem to notice, and still said to himself, "It has always been his dream since he was a child to join the reserve team and become a member of the guardian team, and he has always expected to be able to learn Qi training, become a powerful Qi practitioner, and then defeat one by one demonic beasts and become the guardian hero of Dashan Village." ’

Xiao Shangxi clapped his hands on the side, saying that he hoped that Brother Chao and Brother Ono could become big heroes.

The little girl was still very curious and thought, "At that time, who will be more powerful, Brother Chao or Brother Ono?"

"Of course it's me. Ono said.

"Bragging, I think it must be Brother Chao. ”

"Hehe, if I'm more powerful by then, you'll marry me, right?"

"No, it must be more powerful towards my brother. ”

The two little men giggled.

Chao didn't speak, his brows condensed, as if he had something on his mind.
