Chapter 93: How to practice

The canyon where the human coalition (Bantu warriors, adventurers, and cultivators) is located has been washed by rivers for thousands of years, which means that there is a large river here. Actually, there is, but by this time it has completely frozen and become a glacier that stretches for an unknown amount of time. This glacier is clearly a natural ice rink.

Bai Ke found the location of this glacier, but unfortunately it was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, which was not much different from ordinary snow. Bai Ke still remembers that the river was still flowing with cool water a month ago, but now it is completely frozen and covered with snowflakes, and the climate change in the snow-capped mountain area is really drastic!

Bai Ke wanted to skate on the glacier, but it was obviously impossible without removing the snowflakes on it. However, the workload of clearing snowflakes is too large, and the monster army may move south at any time at this time, and large-scale snow removal is obviously inappropriate.

Bai Ke thought about it, and actually took off his boots, pants, and even animal skin coat, and stood shirtless on the glacier. You must know that the temperature here and now is afraid that it is below minus fifteen degrees, and everyone, including the Bantu people, is wearing thick clothes, but Bai Ke is naked (of course, he is wearing underwear). If anyone else sees him, they must think he's crazy.

Bai Ke punched on the glacier regardless of it. He circled around a circle with a radius of ten meters, punching as he went. Soon the skin of his body began to turn red and hot, and as the mixed heat in his body continued to flow, a wave of heat poured out of his body and continued to radiate around, and the surrounding ice and snow began to slowly melt.

Bai Ke turned five times in a row, and a snow-free area with a diameter of more than 30 meters has been formed on the glacier, which is very magical. This snow-free ring is now filled with warm water (although the temperature is not high), and it is like a snow hot spring. Bai Ke stopped practicing boxing, soaked in the warm water, swam to the center and began to meditate and restore his strength.

Only an hour had passed, and the snow-free circle had frozen again, forming a circular surface of ice, except for a round hole the size of a water tank where Bai Ke was still located. Bai Ke stood up, jumped out of the round hole, and landed on the ice. He looked at the ready-made skating rink and smiled with satisfaction. He thought back to the footwork that Amuli had shown him earlier, and began to experiment slowly on the ice.

Bai Ke had never learned to skate before, he had only skated on roller skating, so he used the roller skating mode to substitute skating. Bai Ke didn't have roller skates, so he used his two bare feet instead of skates and slid on the ice.

The ice surface is very smooth and has a low coefficient of friction. Bai Ke exerted force on the soles of his feet, but he slid directly backwards, and his body couldn't move forward at all, but fortunately, his balance was better, and he restored the center of gravity of his body in time so that he didn't fall. Bai Ke thought for a moment, put his feet together at a ninety-degree angle, and then stepped on the ice diagonally at forty-five degrees with his hind feet. The ball of the forefoot is slightly raised, and the body finally slides out a short section in front with the force of the hind foot. Then when Bai Ke's speed decreased, the forefoot stepped on the ice diagonally, and the back foot was lifted in front of him, and he slid out at an angle again. He just skated slowly on the ice, faster and faster.

After all, Bai Ke is a martial artist, and he has a very high degree of control over his body, and he has mastered the essentials of barefoot skating in a very short time. He constantly adjusts the movement of his feet, controls the force of his hind feet, makes it even and moderate, and provides power without breaking the ice; Twist the waist and hips, so that although the front foot has a certain angle with the body, the direction of travel is always forward. He kept gliding on the ice, and soon his whole body became swift and light, and he slid faster and faster.

Although skating doesn't consume much physical strength, Bai Ke is not really skating simply after all, but practicing wind walking. Every time he stepped on the ice, he had to use his strength, and his physique couldn't support it for long. What's more, he used a lot of energy to use his qi and blood to bake hundreds of square meters of snow like a furnace, and after practicing skating for about an hour, he finally stopped.

At this time, Bai Ke combined with his strong balance ability, he could almost be called the little prince on ice, and he was already very slippery in skating. When he stopped, he jumped up with both feet and landed on the snow next to him, where he tried his hand at skating. It's like skating on ice, but it's a pity that the difference between the two is quite big.

The friction on the ice surface is very small, so you don't need to exert too much force each time, and then as long as you get the angle right, you can skate happily. However, the uneven snow has a large friction force, and the ground is relatively soft and easy to sink, so it requires higher control and more delicate force mode, which requires high mental and physical strength. It's no wonder that the first stage of the wind step is difficult to last, and it is really impossible to master it if the realm is not enough.

In this way, it will take a lot of time for Bai Ke to practice the wind step to the point where he can actually fight! The foundation is not enough and the physical strength is insufficient, Bai Ke decided to stop here today, go back to rest first, and continue on a cloudy day.

The next day, Bai Ke came to this section of the river again to practice. After one night, there were a lot of snow particles on the otherwise smooth ice. Bai Ke was not surprised, this ice surface is more like snow, and the effect will be better if you come to practice. Bai Ke jumped off the rough ice and began to practice, which was really different from yesterday's feeling. The degree of control of the force is more demanding, and the angle of progress is more difficult to grasp. Bai Ke practiced for a long time before he just felt a little bit, and the "skating" became smooth again. Bai Ke was very happy, he found the right way to learn the wind walk. After that, I continued to thicken the snow layer on the ice every day, and then practiced on it, so that in less than a month, I thought that I would be able to master the first stage of the wind walk.

Bai Ke continued to practice, but after less than half an hour of practice, the camp not far away suddenly heard the sound of a horn of "woo". Bai Ke is a spirit, this is the camp is alarming! He hurried up a small snow mound to look towards the camp, and saw that almost everyone in the camp was moving. Bai Ke knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly jumped down the snow mound and ran towards the camp.

When Bai Ke rushed back to the camp, he found that the whole camp was in chaos, with all kinds of people running around, people shouting and neighing, and there was chaos. In particular, the adventurers hired by the Bantu tribe wandered around the camp in an orderly manner, which attracted repeated reprimands from the Bantu warriors.

At this time, Bai Ke found Lu Wu walking on the road, and hurriedly ran to him and greeted him: "Lu Wu Ge, wait a minute!" Ruug ......"

"Oh, it's Carl. What's the matter with you? Ruug looked back at Bai Ke and asked.

Bai Ke hurriedly asked, "Ruug, what's going on here?" Why is the alert sounded? ”

Ruug seemed to be busy, and explained as he walked: "The scouts in our clan have found that the snow mountain monsters have basically been assembled, and they are now making a move, and they will attack soon!" ”

"Ah, so fast!" Bai Ke exclaimed in surprise: "After seven or eight days of calm, are they finally going to launch a general attack?" ”

Bai Ke's swift wind step has not yet been trained, and he is a little reluctant to participate in the war at this time. But he also knows that many things in the world are not transferred by personal will, and when the time comes, he will have to do it. So he asked Ruug, "What do you want me to do now?" ”

The strength of the individual is obviously small in the battle of tens of thousands of people and monsters, Bai Ke believes that if he can't rely on the strength of the collective, then he will only be like a snowflake falling into the water in front of the army of tens of thousands of monsters, and it will disappear in the blink of an eye, and there will not be even a ripple, so he asked Ruug, who is the middle-level commander of Bantu, for a task.

Ruug looked at Bai Ke and said, "Carl, you can follow me." Don't run around when the fight starts, follow me all the time. When the time comes, we will go around and see that there are human warriors in danger, so we will go up to help. ”

Bai Ke thought to himself when he heard this: "Huh? Isn't this just firefighting? ”

However, Bai Ke has no objection to being a firefighter, and he also feels that this is indeed a suitable job for him. After all, he is not from Bantu, and he has no tacit understanding with the Bantu soldiers, and it is obviously not suitable to fight side by side together, but he is strong in personal force, and it is more suitable to be a firefighter to help those soldiers in danger.

Thinking of this, Bai Ke nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Lu Wuge was very satisfied with Bai Ke's attitude, and opened his mouth to say, "Okay, you can follow me now!" ”
