Chapter 47: The Gambling Contract
Facing the night breeze, move your body. Horn suddenly found that his strength was already level five before he knew it, and all the fatigue and pain were swept away, and his whole body was extremely comfortable. I can't help but be a little grateful to that neurotic Hao Bote, although the side effects of the earthworm potion are extremely terrible and unbearable, but the effect is indeed remarkable. And Horn also noticed that he seemed to be a little different, that is, he felt much sharper than before. For example, at a distance of 10 meters in front of you, insects are crawling slowly, and if you could barely feel them before, you can now feel every move of insects very clearly. In the body, sounds like heartbeats are almost invisible if you don't pay attention, but now your heartbeat is as clear as a drum.
Horn couldn't help but be a little confused, could it be that after the promotion, the feeling was so sharp?
In fact, what Horn didn't know was that his sense of being so keen had a lot to do with the potion extracted from the earthworm. The side effects of this agent greatly enlarge the sensory organs, and when the side effects disappear, the sensory organs do not return to their original state, and are somewhat larger than before. Generally speaking, when using this medicine, some paralyzing drugs and the like are added to neutralize the side effects. However, in order to punish Horn, Howbot removed the paralyzing potion, which made Horn a blessing in disguise.
Horn didn't understand, and he didn't care, but it was a good thing. Jump directly on the iron cable, after upgrading the level, the strength has increased, it is much easier to walk this iron cable, and you have to pay careful attention to the foothold before. Now, with a keen sense, I basically don't look at my feet and don't step on the air.
Back in your stone house, feast. Make up for both lunch and evening meals, and burp comfortably before going to bed.
The next day, when the bell rang, Horn stepped up and quickly put on his clothes and walked to the wire. The students in the back walked out one after another. When they saw Horn, they were all stunned for a moment. Yesterday they all heard that Horn had been wounded by the puppet again. And it's cracked more than the bones, how can it be that in just one night, I just saw him standing here alive, and he couldn't see that he was injured at all.
Adel looked at Horn suspiciously, and asked, "Didn't you get hurt yesterday?
Horn smiled and said, "Yes, but thanks to the "care" of the old madman of Howbot, it will be fine in one night." When it came to taking care of those two words, Horn gritted his teeth and said. Although the old madman did cure him, he also tortured him enough. It's impossible to say that he is not at all. Horn doesn't think he's a saint, but he doesn't let people fight back and scold back.
"Really, so quickly, did you use the potion refined from the earthworm?"
Horn nodded and said, "You've used it before?"
"Yes," said Adair, "I was so badly wounded that I almost died. Fortunately, with the potion, I was able to pick up a life. By the way, that medicine is very precious. Your wound isn't very fatal, so why is that old madman willing to use it?"
Of course, Horn won't say that he used it to provoke Holbot, but said vaguely: "Probably yesterday he was in a good mood...... But the side effects after using that medicine are really painful. â
Adel was stunned for a moment and said, "No, that medicine has no side effects!"
This time it was Horn's turn to be surprised, and he frowned and said, "Didn't you feel anything uncomfortable?"
"No, I don't feel anything except want to sleep. Adel affirmed.
"Is it because of my own constitution?" or is it the old madman who has done ......?" thought to Horn. The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes, and it is almost certain that the old madman's hands and feet will hurt like that. Thinking of this, Horn threw away all the original gratitude, thinking that he would have to be an old madman if he had a chance in the future.
Earlier, Adair was already urging Horn to hurry over. Horn came back to his senses and walked over to the stone pillar.
Du Pont still stood there early and waited for the students, except for Horn, the other students basically walked down from the stone pillar without Du Pont's instructions and started the day's cultivation.
Horn also simply put on his armor and said to Dupont, "I'm ready." â
Dupont glanced at Horn, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "...... improved." He could see at a glance that Horn's strength had been raised to level five.
Horn smiled, "Really...... I said I would be able to break through the Force in three months. â
DuPont was a little disappreciative and said, "You must know that a tree, although the flowers are blooming, is still far from the fruit." â
Horn naturally knew that DuPont was referring to his progress, but still far from his goal. At the moment, he said calmly: "Since the flowers of the tree have bloomed, it is far from the fruit." â
Dupont snorted coldly, didn't want to talk nonsense, and directly let the puppet start.
This time, Horn did not have the wolf bèi of the previous two days at all, and he coped with it very chicly, his strength rose by one level, and he improved in all aspects. In particular, the feeling that has been enhanced by the side effects of the earthworm agent has helped a lot. Basically, the puppet only made a slight move, and Horn could immediately judge the trajectory and avoid it in advance.
As a result, at the end of the day, except for a little rest at noon. Horn actually survived, and there was nothing else to do except for feeling overdrawn. After taking off the armor, I felt that I had improved slightly in terms of speed, strength, and stamina.
DuPont didn't say anything. It's still the same smiling face. Only the next day, he threw Horn a suit of armor that was heavier than the armor he had worn at the beginning. Horn was asked to wear new armor to cultivate. Horn put on the armor, only to feel that it was dozens of pounds heavier than the original one. However, Horn has no complaints, no matter what kind of mentality DuPont has, wearing this kind of armor that increases weight is still helpful to improve his strength, provided that he can adapt to it.
As a result, Horn was beaten by the puppet again and fractured his right arm after less than a day of complacency. Fortunately, he didn't faint this time, and DuPont asked Horn to go to Haobot for treatment by himself.
As soon as Hao Bot saw Horn coming to him with an injury, he remembered what happened last time, and couldn't help but smile coldly, and said in a strange way: "Why are you injured again, do you want to be cured immediately this time......?"
Horn immediately remembered the side effects of the earthworm potion, torturing himself to death, and now he still has palpitations when he thinks about it. But he didn't have much time to delay, so he gritted his teeth and said with a blushing face: "Yes, heal it immediately." Whatever you want, just do it right away. â
Hao Bot was a little surprised, as long as the average person tried that kind of pain once, they would have the feeling of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope". Why is this Horn so not afraid of pain? But Haobot's anger last time has not subsided, how can Horn, the meat he sent to the door, let him go.
At that moment, he took out the earthworm potion and let Horn drink it. After admiring Horn's painful expression of pain and rolling all over the ground, he left happily.
Over the next few days, the weight of Horn's armor continued to increase, and as long as Horn could evade the golem's pursuit, he would immediately increase the weight. During this period, Horn had to report to Howbot every two or three days, and Horn still asked for the use of earthworm pesticides. In the first few times, because he had not yet lost his temper, he was happy to admire Horn's wolf bèi appearance rolling all over the ground, and after a few times, he saw that Horn still insisted on using earthworm potion. I wondered if I had inadvertently added paralyzing medicine to neutralize the side effects. I secretly tried it, and it hurt for a few minutes before I was sure that I really didn't add paralyzing drugs to neutralize the side effects. I can't help but admire Horn's perseverance.
Painful efforts always pay off. Sixty days after Horn said Chengruo, Horn reached level six, and as long as he broke through level six, he could awaken the Force. But before Horn could be happy, DuPont announced that the weight of the armor had increased again, and now the armor on Horn's body had the weight of eight adults, weighing a thousand pounds, and this armor was like an incomparably heavy turtle shell, worn on the body, bloated like a bear. To make matters even more abominable, DuPont announced that the puppet would be added by one. In other words, in the future, Horn will have to wear this heavy turtle shell to deal with the two siege machines.
Dealing with one, Horn is confident that there is nothing wrong with that. Adding one is not as simple as one plus one. In the past, you could dodge in advance just by looking at the action, but now you have to take into account the attack of another puppet, you can take care of this one, but you can't take care of that one.
Fortunately, after the development of the side effects of the earthworm agent, the senses have become extremely sharp. Sometimes you don't even have to look at it to feel the wind and grass behind you. For Horn, this is simply a must-have medicine for a traveling home against two puppets attacking at the same time.
Horn dodges the attack of two puppets in Wolf Bèi, although Horn can keenly detect their movements and intentions, but his own movements are like slow motion in the movie, and after dodging the attack of one of the puppets, he is swept in the shoulder by the puppet behind him. Fortunately, the armor was thick enough, a large chunk, seven or eight centimeters thick. The puppet's powerful blow only shook Horn's blood and made him a little dizzy. It took a few stumbles to stabilize his figure.
At the same time, the first puppet to attack was when Horn was not on his feet. A foot on the head stepped down. This time Horn was not dodging, he wanted to see how much his strength would increase after reaching level six.
With your legs apart, cross your arms straight upwards and face the golem's heavy kick.
"When", Horn felt as if his arm was pressed by a mountain, and the whole person sat down. If it is really suppressed, then the second puppet will also attack, and it will definitely be injured. Under the crisis, he snorted violently, the green tendons on his face burst out, and he used all his strength to resist the puppet's heavy step.
