In the courtyard in the east-central part of Qingxi Village.

Old man Qian looked at the increasingly dark sky, peeled off a sweet orange, and put it in his mouth.

It was the height of summer, the daylight hours were getting longer, and by the time it was getting dark, it was already late.

Old man Qian looked at the small door of the courtyard, and his eyes showed some worry.

"Mark, this kid left near noon, even if he hadn't caught the green caterpillar, he should have come back a long time ago, would he be in danger...... Could it be that you have encountered the Thundering Troupe? ”

As an illegal organization that has just emerged in recent years, the Thundering Regiment needs a large number of low-level personnel.

A young man like Mark, who has just learned and is not deeply involved in the world, and is young and powerful, is very likely to be taken captive by the Thundering Regiment and forced to become a cannon fodder member of the Thundering Troupe.

The more Old Man Qian thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

But he quickly thought of something.

It was Mark who didn't come back.

Although Mark has been stupid until he got his senses, this kid is a ruthless man who can survive in the garbage heap at the age of two or three.

Since childhood, he has wandered in Qingxi Village and Qingxi Forest, and often disappears for a few days, or dozens of days.

When the villagers feel that this kid might die somewhere, Mark will inadvertently pop up from somewhere.

"Forget it, instead of worrying about something happening to this kid Mark, it's better to worry about the chaotic elf tide in the north breaking out again, and even if the chaotic elf tide breaks out, this kid may not have an accident......"

Old man Qian put away the food left by Mark, went back to the bedroom and listened to the radio of the Kingdom of Chia, and soon lay down on the bed and fell asleep......

……

In the depths of Qingxi Forest, just as Old Man Qian was asleep, the battle between Mark and the Green Caterpillar also came to an end.

Although the [Impact (Charging Attack)] skill mastered by the Green Caterpillar is very powerful, even the Green Caterpillar's leader Guard can easily crash into the air, causing it to lose its combat effectiveness for a short time.

However, the scene of the siege was never resolved.

On the one hand, there are too many green caterpillars, and under the leadership of the leader of the green caterpillars, these green caterpillars have high morale, knowing that they will be injured, and they will rush forward desperately.

On the other hand, it is also Mark's green caterpillar that does not kill the hand, the elf is different from ordinary animals, has a strong resilience, and it will not take long for the green caterpillar that is injured and knocked out to fight again.

This also causes the green caterpillar to be in a state of siege for a long time.

After a long siege, injuries are inevitable, and after a long time, injuries accumulate, and defeat becomes inevitable.

However, this kind of stressful battle is exactly what Mark and the Green Caterpillar want.

If it is just a few shell-type [impact (accumulation and strong attack)], the green caterpillar swarm will disperse in a hurry, then this kind of actual combat training will be meaningless.

In fact, in a total of three battles, Mark and the Green Caterpillar failed to really fight the Green Caterpillar Leader in the end, and they didn't even touch the Green Caterpillar Leader's side.

Yes, from the afternoon to the evening, Mark fought a total of three battles with the Green Caterpillar.

Every time he fights, Mark breaks away from the battlefield with the Green Caterpillar to rest.

Feeling that his strength and injuries had recovered a bit, Mark would take the green caterpillar back and continue to use the green caterpillar swarm here to hone his combat skills and accelerate the accumulation of experience bars.

In addition to the accumulation of experience bars, Mark also found a major deficiency in the addition of points on the Soul Master's panel.

In those three and a half years in the dream world, the green caterpillar has always practiced standing on the pile, which also leads to all kinds of problems when facing actual combat.

So, even if it's not for the sake of gaining experience, this kind of practical training is essential.

"It's almost a green caterpillar, let's get here today!"

As the night wore on, Mark shouted as he quickly burst from the edge of the battlefield to the center of the battlefield, where the intensity of the battle was lower.

With some connection between the Soul Master and the Spirit, Mark pinpointed the panting green caterpillar, held it in his arms, and then quickly ran away with a force far superior to that of the green caterpillar.

The green caterpillar is significantly inferior to humans, especially those as physically fit as he is.

In this way, after ten minutes, Mark and the green caterpillar completely shook off their pursuers and sat down in a slightly dry clearing.

"Hiss...... Sizzle? ”

The green caterpillar looked at the wounds on Mark's arm and hind leg with concern, and asked repeatedly.

Mark simply cleaned the sticky silk threads on his body, and did not pay attention to the small wounds on his body, but carefully checked the injuries on the green caterpillar, and saw that the green caterpillar was fine, and completely relaxed.

Mark smiled and touched the head of the green caterpillar and said, "Those green caterpillars are very slow, not a big threat, don't worry about me, you remember the encounter we had in the territory of the Flaming Sparrow, that time was really dangerous." ”

The scene of the battle with the green caterpillar swarm reminds Mark of a memory of being chased by a flock of flaming birds.

In addition to this, he seems to have been attacked by a colony of needle bees in the past, and more than once.

For him, compared to the slow-moving green caterpillars and the large needle bees that stop pursuing after leaving the territory, the flaming flaming finch colony is obviously more threatening.

Listening to Mark's words, the green caterpillar also remembered the experience of near-death, nodded slightly, and then sighed.

"Hiss, hiss."

There were three battles in total, and the green caterpillar couldn't fight the green caterpillar leader in the end, which made me feel very regretful and a little lost.

Mark comforted: "It's still too little actual combat experience, although you have mastered the skill of accumulating momentum, but there is only this move, the limitations are too great, however, we will grow, although your physical strength has decreased a lot in the third battle, I feel that you are much better than the first battle at the beginning."

Don't be discouraged, as long as we keep improving.

And we learned a lot today! ”

Mark said as he opened the system panel again, and his experience had improved from 85% in the morning to 89%, 89.5% to be exact.

The three battles add up to only 6 to 7 hours, but the experience generated is enough for Mark and the Green Caterpillar to use normal means for a whole day.

At this rate, he will be able to accumulate a point in two days.

"Sure enough, we still have the most experience in actual combat improvement, that is, our body is not a machine, and we can't always fight ......"

Mark said, standing up from the ground.

"Neither of us is in a good state right now, it's a bit dangerous to spend the night in the wilderness, and it's hard to relax completely because we have to be vigilant about our surroundings, so let's find some food and then go back to the village for the night."

"Hiss."

The green caterpillar nodded, erected its somewhat tired body, the red tentacles on its forehead swirled slightly, and suddenly found the aroma of the fruit......

……

The night was dark, and without the constant impact of the green caterpillars in the courtyard, Old Man Qian's home was much quieter.

But although it was quiet, Old Man Qian still didn't sleep well.

Think about it day and dream night night.

It may be that he was worried about Mark and the green caterpillar during the day, and Old Man Qian once again dreamed of the action of the green caterpillar hitting the rice bowl with his head, and then opened his eyes in irritability.

It's incredibly quiet and nothing happens.

Old man Qian looked at the clock by the moonlight and sat up with a yawn.

"Mark, this kid, won't he be back yet?"

Old man Qian pushed open the door, suddenly tripped over something, and saw a large basket full of purple sweet peaches.

A slight sound of drowsiness came from the room inside.

Old man Qian saw the fine food on the table, and Mark cleaned the dishes.

"This kid is really good at eating......

Soon, as he pushed open the door, Old Man Qian saw Mark and Green Caterpillar in tattered and scarred clothes.

One person and one worm lay on the bed, hugging each other and sleeping, and the cowardly bug's backpack was carried on Mark's chest by Mark, and he didn't take it off even when he was asleep.

"Just catch a green caterpillar...... It's not going to be like this, is it? It looks like he's been attacked by a swarm of needle bees, and the net pocket I gave him doesn't seem to be gone......"

Old man Qian searched up and down the room, but did not see the net pocket, and went to the yard to look for a while, but still found nothing.

As a result, it was obvious that the insect trap he had used since he was a child had been lost by Mark.

Old man Qian showed a look of wanting to speak, and finally sighed and went back to sleep, but it didn't take long for him to return and put the two bottles of potion on Mark's table.

The potion is nothing else, it is a universal medicine that can heal the injuries of elves, wound medicine......
