Chapter 53: Under the Stone Pillar

Adair snorted, nodded and said, "It's really strange, I don't understand what's going on." But that's not all, there are three monsters here. One is a blood ape, which looks like an orangutan and has a blood-red body. Each one was as tall as three people. The skin is thick and thick, the strength is very large, and the movement is also very agile, and it usually comes out of three or four. The second is the odd-footed beast, which generally has four legs, but this strange-footed beast has only three legs, is green, has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and the most important thing is the third one, which is very thick and has sharp claws. It's usually a single one. The third type is the iron helmet pig, which is the most difficult, the same size as a pig, and is covered with a layer of scale armor all over the body, and the sword can not pierce it. There is a spike on the top of the head, which is extremely sharp. This can still be handled. The point is that there are dozens of these iron-helmeted pigs, and they can't cope with it at all. ”

Horn let out an "oh" and said, "Aren't these monsters just monsters? what's so strange?"

Adel showed a look of "you don't understand" and said: "Of course, this is not strange, but every time we destroy them, the next day there will be the same number of monsters, how many you kill, how many will come out tomorrow." Isn't that strange, you say?"

Horn was stunned, he hadn't heard of this kind of thing, and if it was really like what Adel said, it was indeed strange enough. But he thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that those monsters are hiding somewhere, and you didn't notice them, and they didn't reappear until you were gone?"

Adel shook his head and said, "We thought about it at first, but we have killed a lot of monsters in a few years, and we have traveled everywhere. It's just that there's no place to hide these monsters. ”

Horn couldn't explain it now. But he still asked, "Don't he know about Dupont? Did you ask him if he built this place, and he should know the secret." ”

Adel said helplessly: "We have asked him a long time ago, but he didn't say anything, just that this is how it is." This will also make it easier for us to cultivate. ”

Horn couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips and chuckled, "This cunning vampire, he must know what's going on." That's right...... What's the point of cultivating here? Could it be that fighting these monsters all the time can improve your martial arts?"

Adel affirmed, "Yes, just like DuPont said." The key to improving your martial arts is to improve your Force. Ordinary cultivation methods want to improve the Force, and the chances are very small. Only at the moment of life and death, can the force in the body be further forced out, and great progress can be made. What's more, in this kind of brutal combat, you can hone your skills and make sure that your body reacts naturally when you encounter a crisis. In fact, the so-called skill is very simple, use the least strength and the fastest way to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. That's the best trick. ”

Horn pondered this sentence and said thoughtfully: "Although I don't like DuPont very much, I have to admit that his theory is indeed very reasonable. His achievements today also show that his methods are viable. ”

Adel agrees with Horn. But now is not the time to discuss the reasoning. said: "You are not familiar with this place, just follow me these days." Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to run into the Iron Helmet Pig. ”

Horn understood what Adel meant, and immediately followed him deeper into the woods.

After the two of them walked for about a few hundred meters, there was a sudden rustling sound around them.

The two of them couldn't help but be alert, and looked around carefully, but they didn't see anything.

At this time, a strong wind blew. The whole forest rattled and swayed, and the sound was drowned out.

Adel judged with a wealth of experience and already knew what he was across. Remind Horn, "Be careful, there should be a strange foot hidden around here. This monster happens to be green, and can move from treetop to treetop, keeping an eye out for the top of its head, and is most fond of sneak attacks. ”

Adel already has a ninth-level strength, and the monster that can make him ask for caution should not be so easy to deal with. Horn also picked himself up, carefully watching the leaves above his head, trying to find the trace of the odd-footed beast.

The two of them were alert for a long time, but they didn't find anything. Horn couldn't help but say, "I haven't seen anything for a long time, do you feel wrong?"

Adel shook his head and was about to speak, "No...... Be careful......"

Suddenly, the branches above his head shook suddenly. A green shadow fell from the sky. Horn couldn't see what it was, but he felt that there was a cold light in the green shadow that was very dazzling, and the cold light slashed directly at Horn's head.

The feeling of danger made Horn's hairs stand on end. didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively raised his arm to directly block the trajectory of the cold light.

Adel could see clearly from the sidelines, and the claws on the third foot of the strange foot were unusually sharp. Horn is such a block, and it is almost certain that the arm is going to be reimbursed.

At that moment, Adel sighed. The finger sword stabbed directly into the odd-footed beast's head. Hopefully, the odd-footed beast would feel threatened and withdraw the claw that had been slashed at Horn.

The sound of "dang", followed by the sound of "flutter", the two voices sounded almost at the same time.

I saw a three-legged, green monster with a bird-like head, pierced through the head by Adelle's sword. And the sharp claws of the monster grabbed Horn's arm like a blade.

Adel shook his hand and directly picked up the odd-footed beast far away. Hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Horn was stunned, looking at the completely shattered sleeve on his wrist. Under the sleeves is a bracer with a strange pattern carved on it. This bracer was unscathed under the extremely sharp claws of the strange foot beast, and not even a trace of it could be seen.

Horn let out a breath, but fortunately he reacted in time, otherwise his head would have fallen off. Fortunately, the "Variety" on his wrist that was turned into the shape of a bracer saved himself again. At that moment, he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "It's okay, fortunately I have a bracer." ”

Adel was relieved to see that Horn was okay. He was surprised by Horn's bracers, though. He had learned the sharpness of the claws of the odd-footed beast, and he could even grasp through steel. I can't help Horn's inconspicuous bracers. At that moment, he said, "Your bracers are so hard that even the claws of the odd-footed beast can block them. ”

Horn snorted, he couldn't say that this thing even blocked the forbidden spell, let alone the claws of this odd-footed beast. Hurriedly changed the topic and said: "This strange foot beast is really insidious. We looked at it for a long time and didn't find it. ”

Adel was attracted by Horn's words and forgot to ask about the bracers. "The deadliest thing about this odd-footed beast is its stealth ability and the sharpness of its claws. Nothing else is out of the ordinary. As long as it can be spotted, there is no danger. But next time you'll have to be careful. ”

Of course Horn would have been careful, this time it almost killed him. Needless to say, he was already in good spirits, looking around, especially overhead.

On the rest of the journey, Horn encounters two more odd-footed beasts. However, with the experience of the last time, there was basically no great danger, and the odd-footed beast was solved.

Before you know it, it's noon. Horn took out his dry food and shared it with Adele. Although Horn has been here for a few months, because he has been training hard, except for the few days when he has been here, he has not chatted with Adel and Justin for the rest of the time. First, Horn was tired after training every day, and second, Adel was in the same situation, and they went to rest after each training. But now I just have free time, and I started chatting. It's just that when Horn asks Adel about his origins, he is a little vague, just saying that he comes from a noble family in the Thatch Empire. The father served in the army, and some other specifics were not said. Horn didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to ask more, after all, there was always something unspeakable about everyone.

And when Adair asks where Horn came from. Horn concealed his true origins. I talked about the life experience that I made up before I came. That is to say, he was born in a ruined aristocratic family in the Saatchi Empire, and there was no one left in the family, only himself. Because of his love for martial arts, he sold all his family property and came to DuPont to practice martial arts.

After lunch. Adair stood up, looked at the sky, and said, "In another hour or so, those iron-helmeted pigs will come out, let's find a high place to defend first." ”

Horn was stunned by Adele's sudden words and asked, "What? Are those Iron Helmet Pigs very powerful? And you can encounter these monsters in such a big place?"

Adel nodded and said, "Every day at this time, those iron-helmeted pigs will pop up. And they have a very sensitive sense of smell. As long as they are in this area, they will find us. ”

Horn was here for the first time and was unfamiliar. Adam said he just had to do it.

Now Adel took Horn to a sparsely wooded plateau. Quietly waiting for the arrival of the Iron Helmet Pig that Adel had spoken.

While the two were on the high ground, Adel suddenly asked, "Horn, I heard you were learning magic from Holbot, right?"

Horn didn't know what Adel was asking for this, and replied, "yes, what's wrong?"

Adel said with a very stern expression: "Although you have not been here for a few months, I still have to give you a word of advice. It's not impossible to practice martial arts and magic at the same time. But you know, we humans have a very short lifespan. It is very difficult to cultivate a skill to the limit, let alone cultivate two at the same time. Even those geniuses would not choose to cultivate both......

Horn understood Adele's good intentions, but he didn't think that far ahead. It can be said that he has nothing now, and his true identity is not known to others, and even survival is a problem. As long as he can improve his own strength, then whether he can cultivate to the extreme is no longer within the scope of his consideration. He sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but there are some things you don't understand, and I have my reasons for doing this." ”
