Chapter 92: Beginners

Amuli was about to teach Bai Ke to walk quickly, but he looked at Bai Ke's room, frowned, and said, "This house is too small, I can't use it at all, let's go outside and practice." ”

As long as Bai Ke can learn to walk the wind, he doesn't care about anything else, and immediately replied: "That's fine, I'll listen to you." So he followed Amuli out the door.

At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the camp, and as a secret skill of the Bantu tribe, it was obvious that the Wind Walk could not be used at will in front of so many people. So Amuli took Bai Ke to a distant hill outside the camp.

In fact, after walking some distance out of the barracks, Amuli had already performed a galloping stride. I saw that his steps were unusually silky, as if he was gliding on the ice, and he was speeding towards the distant mountain. It's just that his Wind Step is obviously not sustainable, and basically every time he uses a Wind Step, he has to wait for more than ten seconds before he can perform the Wind Step again. He seemed to be deliberately competing with Bai Ke, or showing the wind step, so he ignored Bai Ke who was following him, and just blindly moved forward quickly. Bai Ke looked at the way Amuli went away, and couldn't help but sigh that the Wind Walk was indeed worthy of the Wind Walk, the speed was indeed fast enough, and his regular speed alone was really a little unable to keep up. So he also put aside his worries, and went straight to the ground to make an ambush, and quickly scurried on the snow, and even caught up with Amuli. The two walked side by side, and soon came to a remote hill.

Amuli was amazed at how fast Bai Ke could match him, considering that he was born in the Kunik clan and was already a rare agile warrior among the Bantu clan. Bai Ke was able to catch up with him at this time, which meant that Bai Ke's speed had surpassed that of ordinary people. He carefully observed Bai Ke's movements, and soon saw the principle, it turned out that by increasing the contact surface between the body and the snow, reducing the pressure so that Bai Ke always floated on the surface of the snow, and then pushing Bai Ke to slide at the contact point, just like a sled on the snow, which is almost the same as the "skating" of the wind step. Although the ambush movement is a bit indecent (lying on the ground and squirming), for a battle-hardened warrior like Amuli, practicality is king. If a footwork does not work, no matter how beautiful it is, it will be abandoned.

However, Amuli was also a little confused, and he asked Bai Ke, "Karl, since you have mastered this wonderful method of marching and move fast in the snowy mountains, why do you still need to learn the Wind Walk?" ”

Bai Ke explained with a smile: "Because I have to lie on the ground with this technique, I will not be able to organize an attack." My 'ambush' is only suitable for hurrying, not for fighting. Moreover, it also has requirements for terrain, which can only be used in environments such as snow and swamps, and is not suitable for other places. ”

Amuli was right to think about it, if a person falls to the ground, at most he will attack the enemy's lower plate, and many other means cannot be used, not to mention the terrain restrictions. With such an analysis, "ambush" is indeed not as good as the wind step. He originally wanted to learn "Fu Xing" from Bai Ke, but his mind was also lightened, and it seemed that his own wind step was better.

So Amuli adjusted his mood and said to Bai Ke: "Carl, I'll start teaching you the wind step. The so-called wind step is a unique footwork technique of our Bantu people, born from ice skating. In the first stage, you need to master the power of the soles of the feet and slide forward. Watch me in action! ”

Bai Ke looked at the soles of Amuli's feet and found that the heels of his hind feet were basically half-tiptoed, relying entirely on the soles of his feet to exert force, while the front feet were on the heels of the ground, and the soles of his feet were slightly upturned. When the ball of the back foot is exerted, the front foot is like a roller skate, carrying Amuli on the snow. After gliding for a short distance, Amurly slowed down, his forefoot was lowered, his heel was up, and his back foot took a step forward to become a front foot, and then repeated. One foot is used to exert power and the other foot is kept gliding, so that Amuli can "skate" on the snow. This is a footwork that is especially suitable for snow-capped mountain environments, and it moves like a cold wind blowing, which is also the origin of the name of the wind walk.

Bai Ke watched Amuli demonstrate a few times, and then he tried to practice at Amuli's pace. But as the saying goes, it is easier said than done, although he has actually mastered the power skills very well, but he is not able to skate fast on the snow like Amuli, but is only equivalent to striding on the ground again and again, and the effect is very poor.

Seeing that Bai Ke seemed to be a little confused, Amuli explained: "Karl, the foot you step on the ground should have even force, the strength should be moderate, and don't be impatient. You're skating, and it's not just about the strength, it's about the technique. Also, the foot you are gliding on should constantly adjust to the undulation of the ground, and don't always maintain this angle. As long as the foot is at a certain angle to the ground and the sole of the foot can be evenly forced, then you will not get stuck in the snow and will not be hindered by the ups and downs on the ground."

Bai Ke tried according to the method that Amuli said, and there was some improvement, but it was still not obvious.

Amuli observed the marks left by Bai Ke on the snow, and then said to Bai Ke: "When you exert force on your back foot, you can't explode quickly, but slowly exert force, from the sole of your foot to the toe, so that the acceleration continues. That way, the power of your back foot won't be wasted, and your front foot won't get stuck in the snow because of the force. You try again! ”

Bai Ke did as he was told, making progress but not showing it.

Amurly sighed, "Carl, you shouldn't learn the Wind Walk right away, but you should learn to skate first, and the Wind Step evolved from skating. And it's better not to wear shoes! ”

"Huh?" Bai Ke was puzzled, does this have anything to do with whether or not to wear shoes? He looked over to Amuli and saw that he was not wearing it, but that his feet were only wrapped in pieces of cloth, some of which looked like leggings.

Amuli explained to Bai Ke: "Only by not wearing shoes can you face your strength feedback more meticulously, adjust your movements better, and learn faster." ”

Bai Ke listened to Amuli's words and felt that he made a lot of sense. When you are new to learning, you should start by understanding the principles of the Wind Walk, rather than getting started directly. Inspired by ice skating, the Wind Walk was developed after a lot of experimentation, so maybe you should try skating yourself and find a feeling.

In addition, Bai Ke looked at the animal skin boots on his feet, maybe taking off the boots could improve his learning speed.

So Bai Ke thanked Amurly: "Amuli, thank you. If I can learn to walk the wind, you must have a lot of credit. I'll pay you back when the time comes. ”

Amuli waved his hand at Bai Ke and said, "These are all orders from our patriarch, of course I must obey them. ”

"Besides, you're a friend of our entire Bantu clan," Amuli said, pointing to the Ice Heart Rabbit God necklace on Bai Ke's chest, "and you should help you." ”

At this time, Amuli looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. He said to Bai Ke again: "Now you already know the principle and practice method of the Wind Walk, although you have not yet started, but at that time, because you have just come into contact with the Wind Walk, the time is too short, and the connotation of it is not deeply understood. Try to find a place to practice skating and see if you can apply the skills of the Wind Walk to skating. If you find a feeling, you can apply it to the Wind Walk. ”

Amuli continued: "Karl, you can practice on your own first! If you find something you don't understand during the exercise, you can come back to me and I will answer it for you when the time comes. Our Bantu are too busy with affairs right now, and I can't teach you for a long time, so I'm going to leave first. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ke hurriedly thanked Amurley and said, "Amuli, thank you today!" ”

Amurly smiled and waved, "As long as you don't complain about my previous thoughts." It's me who is wrong, and you don't have to thank you. ”。

Then the two looked at each other and smiled. Amuli patted Bai Ke on the shoulder and turned back to camp.

Bai Ke still wanted to continue practicing the wind walk for a while, he thought about it and decided to start skating first.
