Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 25

The severe drought has lasted for more than a month, and the temperature has continued to rise.

The big fireball in the sky is roasting the earth every day, on time and without any effort.

For more than a month, let alone rain, there are not a few clouds.

The nearby big rivers became creeks, and the creeks dried up.

Even the wells in the village were much shallower.

Xu Gu'an wiped the sweat off his face, poured another bowl of cold water, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally, I have also introduced this style."

He has been practicing Xujiaquan for almost a month, and he practiced diligently every day, and now he has just mastered the two styles of boxing.

The remaining six styles are still not essential.

This made him quite helpless, the lowest grade of cultivation aptitude was really mediocre to the dust.

According to this progress, he reckoned that it would take at least three months, maybe four months, or even longer to practice all the eight forms of Xu Jiaquan to the level of beginners.
After wiping his body to make himself drier, he felt a little hungry, so he immediately took out a piece of mountain wolf meat and steamed it.

As his physique has recovered and he has grown stronger, his food intake has also been increasing.

Such a piece of mountain wolf meat, which weighs nearly two catties, can be easily eaten in one meal now.

And the body will not feel too much soreness and discomfort.

Today, he has to say that his body's ability to digest and absorb has also been strengthened a lot.

Everyone in this world seems to have an iron stomach.

In contrast, he gradually had this tendency of assimilation.

After a feast, Xu Gu'an cleaned up a little, and sat under the shed at the door of the room to rest and enjoy the cool.

The scorching wind blew past, setting off waves of heat.

But in comparison, Xu Gu'an, who was hot after eating wolf meat, still felt that the gust of wind seemed cool.

Let him keep squinting his eyes, leaning against the door panel, feeling a little comfortable.

"Ok?"

While waiting for the wolf meat in his body to be digested, Xu Gu'an suddenly looked outside the village.

A figure was wandering outside the village fence.

Xu Gu'an took a closer look, this figure was unkempt, dressed in rags, as desolate as he wanted,
He is obviously not from the village, and Xu Gu'an has never seen him in the village.

Just looking at it like this, the other party seemed to be spying on something in the village, with unknown intentions.

Recalling what Xu Xinnian mentioned last night, it left an impression on him.

This might be someone from the disorderly land in the eastern suburbs who wandered here today.

Xu Gu'an has an impression of this chaotic land.

Can be defined as a gathering place in the wild.

Different from the cohesion of the surname and clan like the village, the Luanmindi was originally a place where some people in distress gathered together to report to the group for warmth and to avoid various disasters in the wild.

Most of them are temporary footholds and will soon disband due to various reasons.

However, there are also a small number of chaotic lands that gradually grow, establish a certain order, and become long-term development lands.

In the eastern suburbs where Xujia Village is located, there are two long-term development of disorderly settlements.

One is in the northern part of the eastern suburbs and the other is in the southern part of the eastern suburbs.

This person is likely to be one of the people who wandered here.

Soon, two young men ran out of the village, holding a machete, and yelled loudly at the people in the disordered area outside the fence.

No matter how the man begged to kneel down, looking pitiful and miserable, the faces of the two young men still had stern expressions.

Only when they drew their swords did the man run away in a panic, not daring to approach the village again.

The two patrolling and following people in the village gave up.

Xu Gu'an saw it but didn't feel anything.

Don't look at that person as pitiful, but if you give him a chance, it's hard to guarantee that he won't become a disaster if he enters the village.

According to what Xu Xinnian said, people from the disorderly land had sneaked into the village more than once at night, stealing food, clothing, and even children.

Most of them have no bottom line, just to survive themselves, they can backstab anyone.

After hearing too many despicable deeds, Xu Gu'an no longer feels sorry for these people.

It might be that the other party came here to step on the spot just now, planning to do something to Xujiacun, which is not unusual.

In the evening, Feng Man and Xu Yaya came back first.

Seeing that the bamboo baskets on the two of them were empty, with only a few yellowed vegetable leaves, Xu Guan knew that their harvest was insufficient today.

It has been more than a month since the dry season, and the wild vegetables, mushrooms and wild fruits in relatively safe areas around the village have basically been picked.

If you want to continue to obtain food, you can only go up to the nearby mountains to collect it like a hunting team.

This is undoubtedly an arduous task. Without certain strength and experience, acting rashly is just asking for death.

"Second Brother, what a pity today, seeing two such big bullfrogs, it's a pity it's too slippery"

Xu Yaya opened her two little black hands covered with plaster, her round eyes widened, and she stomped her feet and yelled as soon as she came back.

It can be seen that she feels extremely regretful that she failed to catch a bullfrog for dinner today.

Xu Gu'an smiled and comforted her, and then Xu Yaya went into the kitchen to wash her hands.

He continued to wait at the door.

It wasn't until nightfall that the hunting teams in the village returned one after another.

Xu Gu'an checked them one by one, until Xu Xinnian and Xu Guping's team came back, and he catapulted forward.

"Brother, I'm lucky today." Xu Guping picked up the thing in his hand and shook it, laughing loudly.

Following Xu Guping's shaking, Xu Gu'an's gaze also floated up.

"I smashed a monkey's nest today, and I'm afraid the monkey meat can be eaten for two or three days."

"Then, that's really great bro." Xu Guan said with a smile.

In Xu Guping's hand was a dead painted monkey, and Xu Xinnian at the side had another one in his hand, including some other team members, who also had the dead painted monkey in their hands.

Add up to about eight or nine.

With the value of the painted-faced monkey meat, today's hunting team is indeed a big harvest.

What Xu Gu'an pays most attention to is not the painted-faced monkeys themselves, but a gray ball of light floating on the painted-faced monkey in his brother's hands.

He is too familiar, this is the character card he has been thinking about for a long time.

More than half a month has passed since the last time I got the badger character card.

The probability of this card is really indescribable.

Accepting the character card, he looked at the monkey in front of him.

This new character card is probably a monkey with a painted face.

Another little monkey.
Xu Gu'an's mind turned, and while following Xu Xinnian home, he was already thinking about the lineup in his mind.

At present, there are three characters in his lineup, and this little monkey is bound to be the next one.

He has to figure out how to match the character cards in his hand to maximize the overall combat power of the lineup.
