Chapter 11: The Secret of the Valley I

Biller died.

The blood all over his body was drained by vampire wasps, and his body lay on the ground, shriveled like a weathered corpse.

This is the first time Gong Hao has witnessed someone die.

Both the world of the past and the world of the present.

And the way of death was so miserable.

He wanted to vomit, and a strong feeling of wanting to vomit rose in his heart.

But he could only stand there and watch, holding back the feeling of nausea, as if he was nothing.

Lying on the ground, Biller's eyes were wide open, and even before he died, he couldn't figure out why the vampire bees were attacking him.

Andrew's face was also a little gloomy.

He looked at the corpse inside the cage, then picked up the bottle and sniffed it a few times.

With a deep frown, Andrew said: "There is something wrong with this bottle of medicine, it seems that someone has mixed it with water, which reduces the effectiveness of the medicine." ”

"The potion was brought by Biller from Zack. Gong Hao glanced at Sake, who was standing not far away.

When such a thing happened, Andrew came, and it was impossible for the two chief servants not to come.

Thack shouted angrily, "Gler, don't talk nonsense! How could I give him the medicine in question? I think you killed Beller." Don't forget that you were the only ones here when the accident happened. ”

"Thack, I didn't say you gave the medicine and added water. I'm just saying that Buehler took the potion from you, and that's right. All resources are under the care of you and Heather, and no one else is in a position to preserve and touch them. Do you think Biller will watch me pour water into his potion when he gets it?"

"This ......" Sark moved his mouth, trying to say something, but he couldn't. He looked at the corpse in the cage, and the fear in his heart grew.

Andrew looked at Thack: "Tell me, Thack, what the hell is going on?"

Sack lowered his head weakly: "Ann...... Mistress Andrew. ”

"Tell me the truth. Andrew's voice grew harsher.

"My lord, I really didn't mean to!" Tsarch shouted.

As soon as he heard this, Gong Hao couldn't help but sigh. In the end, he is still young, and in the face of such a situation as a dead person, Thack has not yet learned to withstand the interrogation of adults under such psychological pressure.

It's actually quite simple, Sack accidentally spilled the insect water and lost half a bottle of potion. Due to the castle's strict use and supervision of potions, Thack did not want to damage his image in Andrew's mind, so he took it upon himself to administer the potion with some water. In his opinion, this is not too much trouble, the diluted insect water still has an insect effect, which he has tried, but the effect is worse. But he didn't expect it to trigger such serious consequences.

The irresponsible nature of young people is revealed at this moment, and it is almost every teenager who grows up to cover up another mistake with one mistake and thus create even greater mistakes.

The problem, however, ...... This is Purgatory Island.

This is not a place where mistakes are tolerated.

Andrew looked at Sark as if he were looking at a dead man: "Thack, you have disappointed me. ”

Thack trembled with fear.

Andrew said coldly: "From today onwards, you will no longer hold the position of chief servant. At the end of the month, I'll take you out of here and go to a new place to do your job. ”

"Yes...... Yes, my lord, I see. Thack nodded helplessly.

Gong Hao closed his eyes.

He knew he would never see Zack again.

Although Shack had just tried to frame him for the crime, it was just a sign of a child panicking and shirking responsibility after discovering that he had caused trouble. This performance may deserve a hard spanking, but it should never be lost.

"Hue Igler. Andrew's cold voice rang out again.

Gong Hao retracted his thoughts: "My lord." ”

"From this day forward, you take Thack's place as Chief Servant. Heather is mainly responsible for the delivery of the mercers, personnel arrangement and management, while you mainly check the progress of the mercenaries and make a summary of their attitudes. I know you've done a lot for other people and you've always done a great job, so I think this position is a good fit for you. ”

Gong Hao was slightly stunned.

It was not surprising that he had made himself the chief servant. In fact, there is not much difference between the chief servant and the servant, just look at what happened to Sark, they are all lowly subordinates, but they are just the head of the subordinates.

But he was responsible for checking the progress of the servants' work...... In other words, from today onwards, if someone does not perform well at work, then they will have to record him and report it to Andrew?

In other words, the fate of the young servants in the future will be in their own hands?

Gong Hao hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Lord Andrew, I will do my job." ”

"Good. Andrew nodded with satisfaction: "Sisher, there is one less person in Area 42, you are responsible for arranging it, and see who can come over and take charge of it." Someone has to be able to top it before someone comes next month. ”

Gong Hao said, "My lord, leave Area 42 to me." ”

"You?" Andrew was a little surprised, "you're already doing a lot of things." ”

"Trust me, sir, I can do it. ”

Andrew nodded appreciatively: "Okay, I'll leave it to you." Oh yes, I heard that you raised the Bloody Orchid, and that's a pretty big thing. From next month, you will no longer be in charge of Sector 13, and you will be able to go to each Region to decide your own work arrangements in addition to your duties as Chief Servant, and I hope you will contribute more in the same way that you have cultivated the Bloody Orchid. I'll ask the Liberty to bring an extra new person to take over your job in Area 13. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"Thank you for your efforts. Heather, you go get another bottle of insect water, and drag that kid's body out for me first. Andrew pointed to the corpse.

"Yes. Heather went to get the potion at once.

Gong Hao's heart suddenly moved, and he said to Andrew: "My lord, I have a good relationship with Biele, and his death makes me sad." Please allow me to bury Buehler's body. ”

Andrew immediately shook his head: "No, you don't have to worry about this. I will personally solve the problem of his burial. ”

Gong Hao's heart beat violently: "Okay, my lord, then can I accompany Bile on his last journey?"

Andrew looked at Gong Hao strangely, and thought about it: "Okay, drag the body out first, and then you carry him with me." ”

———————————————

The night is desolate and clear.

Walking on the path in the wilderness, I could hear no movement except the rustling sound of breaking leaves.

The night of Purgatory Island is eternally dark, and the thick fog blocks the moonlight from the sky, and the darkness around is nowhere to be seen.

Under the effect of the enchantment, the light of the magic lamp did not escape a little, so that one step out of the castle suddenly fell into the darkness.

A small light rose from the palm of his hand, a faint light from a fluorescent bug. This bit of light will not travel too far to be noticed, but it can already help Gong Hao vaguely see the road under his feet.

Even so, Gong Hao didn't know how many times he had fallen.

If it weren't for his cultivation of Dou Qi, the sharp blades of grass in the woodland might have cut him all over his body.

But there are benefits to such a dark night - it makes his movements safer.

Gong Hao didn't know why he was so persistent.

In fact, he had already guessed what kind of terrible facts were happening on this island, but perhaps out of the desire to survive, he hoped that he was wrong.

However, whether it is right or wrong, there must be a first-hand experience to confirm the results.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to take a big risk and sneaked out quietly on this night to find out.

During the day, he followed Andrew all the way with the body on his back.

The direction is east.

To the east there was a valley that was forbidden, and the servants were likewise forbidden to enter or leave.

After following Andrew to the valley, he was guarded by two puppet warriors. Andrew told him to put the body down and told him to go back.

The road is not easy to walk, and there are several forks in the road that leads to the valley. During the day, Gong Hao deliberately made a mistake, but was scolded by Andrew: "Do you want to die? Look at the road and follow me, you idiot!"

Gong Hao immediately understood that all forks in the road were traps.

"Left. ”

"Right. ”

Medium. ”

"Left. ”

There are so many forks in the road that the Empire has put a lot of effort into arranging it. It's just that Andrew didn't think of it anyway, just after a trip, Gong Hao had already memorized the terrain.

When he reached the fourteenth fork, Gong Hao stopped.

He remembers very well that even on the right path, there are also mechanisms.

That's a sound trap.

Once you step on the road, as long as the weight is 70 pounds higher, the mechanism will sound an alarm. The sirens weren't loud and would not be a problem during the day, but in the dead of night, the sound told the guards that someone had sneaked into the valley at night.

It's an unavoidable trap that anyone walks up to and sounds the alarm, simple, but effective.

As soon as you cross this fork, you can enter the valley.

Gong Hao calmed down, and he began to try to move all the qi in his body to his feet.

Lancelot had taught him how to use Fighting Qi to his arm strength, and while this was just one of the many ways in which Fighting Qi could be used, many things were the same. It's like if you learn to be a chef and you may only practice cutting ginger, but as long as you can cut ginger as thin as a hair, you won't have much of a problem cutting other things.

Being able to apply the fighting spirit to the arms, and naturally it can also be applied to the feet, Gong Hao has long been proficient in this.

The only problem is that this time he is not trying to improve his offensive and defensive abilities by releasing his fighting spirit, but to reduce the weight of his body as much as possible.

Different needs have different ways to use them, Gong Hao experienced it with his heart.

Yes, the release of fighting spirit is actually to concentrate the fighting spirit on the external limbs, which is a manifestation of the concentration of strength. If you simply apply this method to your feet, then you will not lose weight, but gain weight.

It should be restrained, Gong Hao thought.

The extroverted and restrained spirit of the fighting spirit is the most basic way for a samurai to use his own strength, although Lancelot did not teach him the latter, but he is right about one thing.

Gong Hao quickly understood the mystery of this use, so could he reverse the process required for the release of the fighting spirit?

He concentrated his calmness, tried his best to concentrate his strength between his henchmen and his legs, and his fighting energy worked in his body, trying to drive his body upward, making his whole person have a wonderful sense of floating.

He knew that he had succeeded.

Without hesitation, Gong Hao quickly rushed towards the fork in the road, like a gust of wind. The sound trap was not triggered, and Gong Hao successfully reached the mouth of the valley.

It went so smoothly that even Gong Hao himself felt a little surprised. But when you think about it, you immediately understand.

The reason why it was so difficult for him to learn the release of Dou Qi at the beginning was that he was just getting started, and he didn't know how to grasp the flow of Dou Qi in his body at all, and he couldn't control it. The second is what others teach, and it can never be as profound as what you have understood.

The restraint of vindictiveness is actually no different from the external release in terms of control methods, but the means of use are diametrically opposite. Since he realized it himself, the consequences would either be in vain, or it would be a one-time success.

Moreover, once Gong Hao understands how to restrain his own fighting spirit, his proficiency in the use of restraint is even higher than the degree of expulsion of his fighting spirit.

Because this is completely his own realization, and it is something that he really understands with his body and mind.

This discovery surprised Gong Hao very much.

Although the samurai's path is still long, with this experience, he believes that he can walk out of the light even without the guidance of the Master. If everyone in the world needs a Master to be successful, then the world cannot progress.

The real strong always go further on the basis of their predecessors......

The two puppet warriors at the mouth of the valley are faithfully waiting at the mouth of the valley as always.

Touching the badge on his chest, Gong Hao gritted his teeth and walked in without hesitation.
