The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 20 The dangers of eating

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the snow on the ground is gradually melting, embellished with dots of dim green.Although the cold outside is still a bit heavy, wearing leather robes is a bit stuffy. Alos and Misha are wearing snow lion leather robes as cloaks, and they are practicing small grappling hands against each other in the open space. Lack of lungs, laughing and making noise, ignoring Chen Jinyang who was standing not far away with wrinkled eyes and eyebrows.

There is nothing Chen Jinyang can do with the two little guys. Alos thinks that he will become a powerful spellcaster. Now he can move some small objects in the air, or release a few small torches around his body, and let An object emits light like a torch, which makes Misha very envious. Every time, she asks Alos to light up her beloved helmet, and then walks around with the "baby" emitting bright light, but Alos faces My sister's helmet is very traumatic and shadowy.

Once, Alos showed off to the little girl his ability to move small objects through the air, and boasted how powerful he would be in the future, with great ambitions of "punching dragons and kicking demigods" in the future.Facing the brother who was boasting more and more outrageous, Misha'er, who was no longer stable and quiet before, but had become naughty and cunning, finally couldn't bear his complacency, and loudly accused:
"I don't believe it! You're bragging!"

"I'm not bragging! If you don't believe me, I'll show you!" It was also unbearable for Alos to be doubted by others, especially Misha'er, about his ability to be a "great spellcaster in the future". He wanted to prove himself to his sister, and he looked around. Glancing around, trying to find a suitable demonstration prop, his gaze finally landed on Misha'er's head, or more precisely, the little girl wearing the horn of Dekle on her head.Alos knew that although the Horn of Cole looked big, it was as light as a feather and held almost no weight in his hand. He rubbed his hands and said to the little girl with a smile:
"Misha, borrow your helmet!"

"No! Can't use my 'Princess Knight's Crown' (God knows why the little girl gave such a vulgar name to the great Cole's Horn)! What if it breaks?"

"Your '.crown' is so strong, how could it break?!"

"It's the Crown of the Princess Knight!" the little girl interrupted and corrected.

"Okay, it's the 'Princess Knight's Crown'! I'm afraid you dare not borrow it? You are afraid that I will really know how to cast spells, so you dare not lend it to me!" Alos, who was a bit "little mean", even used the aggressive method .

The innocent little girl was not immune to this vulgar little trick, and angrily handed over her beloved "crown", watching Alos nervously put it on the ground, for fear that it would be damaged by the performer.

Facing the horn of Cole on the ground, Alos announced loudly: "Please watch the wonderful performance of Mr. Alos, the great spell caster in the future!" The palm of Yao held the helmet lightly and raised his hand, "Get up!" The little boy was a little dazed, and Cole's horn was quietly placed on the ground without moving, and it failed!

impossible!Why can't you move!Alos tried two more times in fear, but it still failed. He could only use four small spells a day. He had already used it once before the beginning, and now he used it three times. The daily usage has been exhausted. The little boy Looking at his hands in frustration, he muttered to himself in disbelief: "How could this be! Impossible! I succeeded once in the morning!"

Misha, who was also nervous, was relieved. With a victorious expression, she held the horn of Cole on the ground with both hands, and while wearing it on her head, she laughed at the loser: "Alos! This time the cowhide is blown!" Haha! Alos is a big talker! A big talker!" The little boy who was flushed with shame covered his face and fled.In the next few days, Alos found that he could still move other ordinary small objects, no matter whether they were heavier or lighter than the Horn of Kerr, but he always failed in the face of that hateful helmet. , Alos even found an excuse to judge that it might be a magic item.

This time, the little girl has no doubts about the judgment of the "King of Cowhide", or she also hopes that her "baby" is a real treasure. Compared with Chen Jinyang's powerful strength, she is also more inclined to say what little Alos said. It depicts a great spellcaster who is mysterious, elegant, knowledgeable and powerful, so the two little guys who already have other things are not so interested in Chen Jinyang's martial arts. "Twisted melons are not sweet", Chen Jinyang, who is well aware of the little ones' carelessness, no longer insists, except to teach him (her) some small skills about catching and getting rid of, and only requires two The little slippery head trained his body to be stronger.

Chen Jinyang has no time to pay attention to the fact that the two little guys treat their practice as a playful game. He is now worrying about another problem that the family is facing.That's right!No food!After today, there will be no food to eat.If compared with the past, the food prepared in the cellar and the prey Chen Jinyang hunted would be more than enough to survive the whole winter, but Chen Jinyang forgot that with the continuous improvement of kung fu, his appetite is also increasing day by day. Compared with the original William That was more than several times higher, not to mention that there was a giantess Phinya whose appetite was not much smaller than his.Going out to hunt now is also difficult to gain. The five-month long winter has almost disappeared the prey in the forest. Even the huge number of snow guinea fowls is already rare, let alone other species. However, before the next winter, these greatly reduced animals will return to the landscape of the old prosperous period.

Early in the morning, Phinya didn't know where she had slipped away. Since the problem of where to stay was resolved, the giantess gradually lost her former restraint and caution, and showed her wild and crazy girl side, which made Chen Jinyang dumbfounded.Chen Jinyang wanted to go to the forest to try his luck, but he was worried about leaving the two little guys alone at home. Finally, he broke his heart: "A living person can be suffocated by urine!" Chen Jinyang greeted the two children and said "Alos! Misha! Stop playing! Let's go! Let's go hunting in the forest." The two little guys immediately gave up playing and cheered and ran to the cellar to prepare for departure.

The forest at the end of winter and the beginning of spring was really quiet and desolate, and there was hardly a single animal to be seen within a few miles along the way. Alos and Misha'er stepped on the wet rotting leaves, and followed behind Chen Jinyang somewhat uneasy.Chen Jinyang looked at the dead forest in disappointment, and sighed helplessly. He began to give up any hope for today's hunting.

"William! It's scary here! Where are we going? Should we go to the river to play like last time? I'm a little scared, don't go, okay?" The little girl asked Chen Jinyang's left hand tremblingly.

Chen Jinyang's brain flashed when he heard the words, yes!riverside!There are fish in the river, why didn't I remember it!He excitedly hugged Misha and said, "Don't worry, Misha! Don't be afraid if you have a brother!" He turned to greet Alos, who was also a little scared, and rushed to the river near the abandoned adventurer camp in the past.The creek where we had our first picnic before the snow was too shallow. I am afraid that not many fish survived in a winter. Only the relatively deep river could survive enough life.

After nearly an hour of driving, Chen Jinyang and his tired and hungry kids finally arrived at the area where the river flows relatively close to the village. The thick ice still covers the entire river.Chen Jinyang found a suitable ice surface and used an iron sword to dig out an ice hole more than one foot square. He cut off a few branches from the surrounding pitch pine trees, tied them into clusters and ignited them with the flame in his palm, and handed them to Alos Burn in the ice mouth.

"You can catch fish like this? Impossible?" The two little guys felt that Chen Jinyang was a bit of an idiot, which was too unreasonable.

Chen Jinyang smiled mysteriously and did not answer the little guys' questions.The fish, who had been suffocating under the thick ice for a whole winter, soon discovered this warm ice mouth. They began to approach here gradually with their stiff bodies swinging, and finally couldn't bear it and jumped into the warm "channel" .After a while, the impatient little guy found that the mouth of the ice gradually began to bubble and splash, and clumsy fish began to gather here.The little guys jumped and shouted in excitement and surprise: "Fish! There are fish! Catch them!"

Chen Jinyang seemed indifferent and didn't see any action, but directed Alos to swing the torch upwards, and then the fish jumped out of the ice mouth one by one under the shocked eyes of Alos and Finia, and Chen Jinyang held a wooden javelin to fall. The harpoon on the ice got up and slammed onto the river bank, and the two little guys screamed excitedly as they watched the harvest of fish.

Chen Jinyang, who was spearing the harpoon vigorously, suddenly felt the ice under his feet tremble, and his heart tightened suddenly, and he shouted anxiously to the little guy who was standing near the ice mouth: "Hurry up and go ashore! Something is wrong here! "The little guy who was on the head of the excitement didn't react, he was a little dazed, but Chen Jinyang didn't daze, he walked up to the front and grabbed Alos and Misha'er, and sent them to the shore with a flick of his hand .Then Chen Jinyang suddenly found that the ice hole under his feet was dark, and two rows of sharp white canine teeth broke through the ice layer and bit towards his legs; Slowly, Chen Jinyang jumped to the shore with his strength, and at the same time, the javelin in his hand touched the unbroken ice surface, and his body slid quickly.

The sneak attacker who couldn't take a single hit closely followed Chen Jinyang's figure, jumped up and bit him again and again, and the foot-thick ice layer behind Chen Jinyang collapsed; when he was about to reach the shore, Chen Jinyang's castration was over, his body fell and his legs shrank. After being attacked by the sneak attacker, a carp stood up instantly and supported the ice-cold and slippery body of the pursuer flying overhead with both hands. The monster that came ashore struggled to throw it into the woods not far away.Chen Jinyang stood there somewhat exhausted, covered in mist. The escape in the river just now, especially the last shoulder pick, catch, and throw, and he was unable to breathe almost exhausted his strength. This is Chen Jinyang since he came to this world. , This is the first time he encountered such a dangerous situation, the first time he was so close to the brink of death, if it wasn't for him responding quickly in the face of abnormalities without hesitation, or if he slowed down by a second or two, this time the three brothers and sisters would definitely be here .

Chen Jinyang, who had regained his strength, looked back at the completely broken ice layer of the river with lingering fear, and only then had the opportunity to look at the sneak attacking monster.The monster has a crocodile body, a mouth full of sharp half-foot dog teeth, and fish scales the size of a child's palm. Its body is nearly eight feet long, with a brown head, a black back and a white belly. Standing more than four feet high, it can be seen how amazing its strength is. If ten Chen Jinyang are in the water, it is impossible to be its opponent. Unfortunately, now that the tiger has fallen into Pingyang, it is hard to regain its glory. The end of the belly.
