Chapter 15: Ding Ding Ding Ding Dong...... Clang!
In order to entertain Oun, a distinguished guest who can provide him with wine heart steel, Fei Che gritted his teeth and took out the rice he had prepared for Xiaoyu's birthday, and cooked a large bowl of rice for Yamato and Oun.
Although he knew that this rice was not easy to come by, Orn was really hungry after working all afternoon.
He didn't care too much, so he only gave Xiaoyu a small half bowl of rice, and then devoured the rice.
Gollum~
After a bowl of rice, although his physical strength has recovered a lot, the hunger in his stomach still cannot be quelled.
Looking at Yamato, who was mentally depressed but also licked his rice bowl cleanly, Orn couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Unexpectedly, the two of them finally left the ghost island, but the hunger was still with them......
At this time, it is impossible to go to the town, so I can only think about going to the wilderness to find those beasts with toxins in their bodies to fight for tooth sacrifices......
Orn remembered that in the original books, Sauron had eaten the flesh of those beasts when he first arrived on the island.
According to Zoro, with his physical fitness, he can digest the poisonous flesh, but he just feels a stomachache.
In this way, Yamato should also be able to eat those poisonous meats without being too affected, as for himself...... Although the current physique is far inferior to Yamato and Zoro in the future, after all, it is an animal-based devil fruit ability known for its tenacious vitality, and he can't die even if he thinks about it.
Thinking like this, Orn finally made up his mind, got up and walked to Yamato's side and picked up her mace "Ah Ken":
"I'll borrow your mace, I'll find a way to get some food."
"Need my help?" Yamato asked weakly, barely holding up his body.
Seeing that Yamato was very reluctant, Orn said:
"No need, I'm also a capable person, and a few animals can still deal with it."
After saying this, he couldn't help but add another sentence in his heart, just by the way, testing the effect of the steel of the heart.
After changing into a kimono and carrying Yamato's mace, Aoun headed out for the wilderness north of the village of Okasa.
…………
Passing through a large bamboo forest, a decaying wilderness immediately appeared before Orn's eyes.
"This guy of the Black Carbon Snake is really evil!"
Sighing like this, Orn slowly walked into the wilderness with his mace.
Although it was late at night, there were still countless giant beasts in this wilderness that had not slept because of hunger.
Those wide-open eyes shimmered with a faint green light in the dim night.
Carefully navigating the wilderness, Orn kept himself from making too much noise while carefully searching for targets he could deal with.
As he searched, Orn noticed a voice ringing in his ears.
Dingdingding...... Boom!
The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near, until the last "dong" sounded, Orn only felt that his body seemed to be overpowered, and the whole person unconsciously snorted, holding the mace Ah Jian's hand, and there was a faint burst of green tendons.
It's all too familiar!
In the abyss of howling back then, as soon as the wind blew, this sound echoed across the entire broken bridge.
And now, that sound means...... The enemy is approaching!
Just thinking like this, suddenly a sharp sound of breaking wind came from beside him.
If it had been before, Orn would not have been able to react the moment he heard the breaking wind.
But now, because of the voice of Heartsteel as an early warning, Orn has already secretly tensed the muscles of his body.
Instinctively rolling to the side, a sharp claw grazing his shoulder.
At the same time, he also noticed that there was an extra mark in his sight that was gray on the outside and red on the inside.
The moment he saw this mark, Aoun's spirit immediately lifted.
The muscles of his arms bulged high, and he held the mace tightly with both hands, and when he rounded his arms, he smashed them down.
Clang~!
If the previous five prompts made Orn's soul tremble faintly, then now the sound of gold and iron resonating from the shattering of this mark made Orn's soul sublimated.
The moment the mark was shattered, Orn immediately felt a warm current flow through his limbs, making his body, which was originally a little weak from hunger, full of strength again.
It's exciting!
In stark contrast to Orn, it was the prey he struck.
Orn's blow had obviously hurt it a lot, and its six or seven meter-long body was twitching violently in the moonlight.
It is a fox-like existence with red fur covered with yellow spots...... Well, I almost didn't have the words "I'm poisonous" written on my face.
Because of being hit in the abdomen by Orn's stick, the spotted fox grinned for a long time and couldn't turn it back, and the corners of its mouth were faintly spilling blood, presumably hurting its lungs.
Seeing that the fox had lost its combat power, Orn was about to smash it down to give him a good time, but before his mace could fall, a tinkling warning sounded in his ears again.
At the same time, the sound of breaking wind struck again, and before Heartsteel's three-second beep was over, Orn's back was suddenly slammed.
However, fortunately, Heartsteel can still provide some defense even if it is hidden, and he himself made a forward action before being attacked, which dissolves a lot of impact.
Together, Orn was actually attacked, but he didn't suffer much damage.
It's just that the sneak attacker's attack didn't stop with one blow, and before Orn could struggle to get up from the ground, the cold and slippery touch had already wrapped his entire body, and it was still tightening!
It was a snake, and it was a giant snake hiding not far away that attacked him!
The guy was probably disturbed by Orn and Spotted Fox's movements, so he attacked in anger.
This also explains why Heartsteel didn't give a warning before-because the serpent was asleep and didn't exude hostility towards Orn, so it wasn't judged an enemy by Heartsteel, and naturally it wouldn't have made a condensing sigil sound as an early warning.
"In this way, the steel of the heart can't replace the domineering after all, not only is a situation like this unavoidable, but the effective range of three hundred meters can also be said to be instantaneous for many strong people.
Without seeing and hearing the domineering, relying only on the three-second warning of the condensation mark of the Heart Steel, maybe the Heart Steel had just sounded and he was already in a different place......
While summing up the experience in his heart, Orn hurriedly activated his ability and wrapped his body in magma.
Clang!
The magma landed on the serpent's body, triggering the Mark of Heartsteel.
The double damage of the hot magma and the shattering of the mark immediately made the giant snake twist in pain.
The snake hyacinth swallowed wildly, and the originally tight body suddenly relaxed, successfully allowing Orn to find a chance to escape......
