In the bow training room, Xiao Haochen was practicing archery again. This was the first thing he did after detoxifying that night. Edward was beside him, looking weak and weak. It was obvious that the toxins had not been cleaned out.
Xiao Haochen straightened the wooden bow, stretched his arms back and forth, kept them level, and aimed at the target with three dots and a line between his arms, the center of his eyebrows, and the tip of the arrow.
"Whoops!"
Missed the target! It wasn't just as simple as missing the target, the arrow went through an incredible arc and floated somewhere out of sight.
"Hey!" Edward was too lazy to get angry, "You are an absolute idiot!"
However, Xiao Haochen saw a clue from this arrow. The reason why every arrow shot from the same wooden bow must fly was probably not because of his own misalignment, but because of the wind ability he possessed.
He turned around and looked at Edward, and saw the honest and honest leader of the dwarves, with a pale face and pale lips, lying on the bench limply. He couldn't help but feel a little grateful, "I can just practice by myself. You can go back and have a rest." !¡±
Edward propped up his right arm and stood up panting: "The room is too stuffy and uncomfortable. It's better to be here and scold you for fun!"
Xiao Haochen raised his eyebrows and said, "You are sure that I will miss it!"
Edward yawned and said: "Anyway, if you can't learn it in one day, I will scold you one more day!"
Xiao Haochen raised his arms again and drew the bowstring, "Cherish the opportunity!"
"Whoops!" Missed the target again!
Edward watched from behind as he raised his arm again and again, and drew the bow and drew the arrow again and again. Missing the target time and time again, I suddenly discovered that this person's perseverance is really extraordinary.
You must know that the main reason why it is difficult for humans to master a skill is not that they cannot achieve it physically, but that they cannot stand the boring and tedious process. The infinite repetition will make people mentally weak. Even crash.
Especially for some people who lack qualifications, they often cannot see any progress during practice. Over time, you will lose confidence. Give up on yourself.
"However, this is completely invisible to Xiao Haochen. He seems to never know boredom or fatigue. Just like a machine. After being entered into the program. It will be repeated without hesitation, although so far, there is still no progress. However, this spirit is very terrifying, and even Edward can't help but admire him.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The monotonous to boring monosyllables echoed in the bow practice room.
After firing the arrow five hundred and five hundred and five times, Xiao Haochen's legs softened and he sat on the ground tiredly. The long clothes on his body had already faded to his waist, and his sharp-edged but not very large muscles were rising and falling with his breathing. "Pah!" He took the kettle thrown by Edward with one hand, took a few sips without saying a word, and then sprinkled the rest on his head.
"Go take a bath later. I can smell the sour smell on your body from here!" Edward said.
Xiao Haochen did not respond immediately. He panted violently until his breath calmed down slightly, then he said: "Take a bath? Is there a pool here?"
Edward said: "The black turtle is the patron saint of rivers, lakes and seas. The structure of its body is naturally rugged and full of ditches of various sizes and lengths!"
Xiao Haochen got up and said: "Then go quickly, I'm very hot!"
He reached out his hand and pulled Edward, who was sweating profusely, from the bench.
Edward asked: "Go get a change of clothes, I'll wait for you here!"
Xiao Haochen gently touched the silver ring on his index finger and said, "It's all here!"
Edward hesitated and said: "This is the space ring?"
¡¡
The bathing pool Edward mentioned was actually a large open hot spring. It was located just east of the cave where they lived. It was a large area with a curtain drawn at the entrance. As soon as you entered, you felt steaming, like hot soup in a pot. .
Edward and Xiao Haochen took off their clothes on the narrow banks of the pool on both sides and walked down naked.
The water was so hot that the two of them had to stop and go in order to adapt to the water temperature.
What surprised Xiao Haochen was that there were actually plants in the spring water at this temperature, an algae plant that looked a bit like kelp. Each plant was very long. When they walked down, they would inadvertently rub against their skin, causing itchiness. , as if the palms were scratching.
"Plop!" Xiao Haochen plunged into the pool with a sudden movement, and several large bubbles rolled out on the surface of the water.
Edward didn't pay attention and washed his body on his own. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Xiao Haochen didn't show up. He couldn't help but feel worried. He waded in the water and shouted loudly: "??, this pool is very deep, I am irresponsible if you drown! "
"Hey, come out quickly, pranks are not fun at all!"
After shouting several times in succession, there was no response. His heart tightened and he explored deeper into the pool, "Okay, you guy, get out of here!"
Still no response, my heart was beating wildly.
Although he and Xiao Haochen often quarreled, they never really got angry. On the contrary, they admired his persistent spirit. For fear that the other party would really be in danger, he was so cruel that he plunged into the water and said, "Damn, you bastard." , don¡¯t die!¡±
He plunged in regardless, and as soon as he opened his eyes under the water, he saw a pale face with snake-like long hair standing face to face with him. He was so frightened that his eyeballs almost fell down. He closed his mouth and couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he drank several large sips of water in a row.
"Monster!" He jumped out of the water, followed closely by the monster behind him. "Ah ah ah, come and die!"
"Ah ah ah, I didn't do anything bad, don't come and catch me!" Edward took a few steps back in fear, sat down in the water, and drank a few more mouthfuls of bath water.
He was already short in stature, and when he splashed in the water, he couldn't step to the bottom because of his nervousness. He was about to drown, but the monster's arm grabbed him from above and pulled him out of the water.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Edward closed his eyes tightly, and his short and thick lotus-like arms were pulling and pushing hard in front of him.
"Hehehehe, open your eyes and look at me!" the monster said.
"If I don't open my eyes, I'll be dead! I'm not stupid!" Edward said firmly.
"I told you to open it, just open it, do you hear me?" The monster repeated without any doubt, grabbed Edward's palm and pinched it hard into the flesh.
Edward hesitated for a moment, hesitantly opened a slit, and as soon as he saw the green snake at the other end, he immediately closed it again, "Let me go, let me go!"
The monster grabbed his arm, shook it from side to side, and said angrily: "Open your eyes quickly!"
Edward said: "I know my eyes will be turned to stone when I see you. You are from the Medusa tribe, right?"
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha!" The monster released his grip on his arm and laughed to himself.
Edward felt that the voice was a bit familiar, and he felt a little bolder, so he opened his eyes nervously.
"You brat, how dare you play tricks on me!" Like a buffalo, he rushed forward angrily, knocked Xiao Haochen down, and pulled the wig off his head.
It turned out that there was no monster anywhere. It was just Xiao Haochen who put a large circle of water plants on his head and pretended to trick him. Maybe he was too nervous, or maybe the fog here was too heavy, so he didn't even notice. come out.
Edward angrily punched him twice, forcing him to roll over in the pool. Xiao Haochen received two punches, but he was completely fine and kept laughing to himself. The more Edward thought about it, the angrier he became. The last meal was hammered.
At this time, Xiao Haochen, who was laughing miserably, suddenly stopped laughing, and his expression became more solemn than ever before. Edward said: "Boy, my fists feel bad, I can't laugh anymore!"
"No, no, you, there is something behind you!" Xiao Haochen stammered.
"Boy, stop lying to me, I won't be fooled again!" Edward's tone was obviously not firm enough.
"No, really, I didn't lie to you! Run!" Xiao Haochen's eyes widened, his limbs kicked on the water, and his body moved backwards, looking very frightened.
Seeing how panicked Edward was, he couldn't help but believe it. He pressed Xiao Haochen's lower body slightly and the latter took the opportunity to run out.
Edward turned his head slowly and nervously. His eyes were bigger than a bell. He was holding his breath as if he was determined to die.
"Ah, ah!" There is nothing behind you! Edward roared, "You lied to me again, bastard Xiao Haochen, I'm going to kill you!"
The latter was already laughing so hard that he was running away in the pool.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Plop!" The laughter stopped abruptly.
The black shadow passing over the surface of the pool engulfed the two of them.
On the surface of the water, there was a circle of fine ripples (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
