Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 142 A lifelong enemy: splitting a large iron chain with your hands

Reilly looked at the supervisor: "Can you finish digging for tomorrow?"

"There is no such example." The supervisor shook his head. In order to prevent miners from dying from exhaustion, the mine does not recommend this accumulation method.

"alright."

Rayleigh sat down and finished eating the rye bread, staring at the iron chain that locked his feet and was as thick as a baby's fist, his eyes burning.

A new exercise method suddenly appeared in my mind, and I took advantage of the opportunity to practice the unique skills of the hand sword.

Goal: Break the chain with your palm.

He raised his right hand, with the side palm facing down, and slashed at the iron chain. The iron chain bounced up from the ground with a clanging sound.

This will not work.

He straightened the iron chain with his feet, used nine points of strength with his palms, and slashed it down again.

There was a bang, and the stone surface around the iron chain was filled with flames.

Everyone else was stunned, and Sam asked in surprise: "Black Knife, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to see if I can break this iron chain with my palm." As Rayleigh replied, he struck again with his palm. The iron chain collided with the stone surface, and cracks appeared faintly on the stone.

This……

The people around shook their heads and turned around. This guy was simply crazy. How could human hands break such a thick iron chain? It was like trying to beat an egg against a rock.

It is probably just a temporary hobby for young people who are idle and bored. After a few more chops, they will probably lose interest.

A continuous bang-bang sound began to enter their ears, dozens of breaths...hundreds of breaths...but it didn't stop.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look again, only to see that the stone under the chain was now covered with cracks.

A moment later, with another burst of fire, there was a crash, and the stone completely shattered.

"If you continue to chop like this, I'm afraid the whole mine will collapse." A miner joked.

This caused others to smile and say:
  "Cleaving the mine with one palm is enough to be recorded in the legend. It seems that we are the witnesses of the legend."

"Young man, I like you."

"Everyone has nothing to do. Hurry up and do your work. If you can't complete today's mining volume, there will be plenty of whips for you to eat." The supervisor cursed.

Then he kindly reminded the young man who was walking to the foot of the mountain and continuing to sit on the ground to chop the iron chain: "The food the miners can receive every day is extremely limited. I advise you to save your energy and don't waste it on useless work."

Limited food?

Reilly thought for a moment that food was indeed a problem, but it was just a small problem and he could always find a way.

How to break the iron chain with the palm of your hand is the big problem that you have to face right now, and it may even become your lifelong enemy.

An iron rod can be ground into a needle, you must have confidence.

Raising his arm, he slashed with a quick and slow knife, once, twice, three times... The iron chain clanged as it was cut with his palm, and a small pit was dented into the ground, but there was no trace of the chain. Every trace of cracks.

It is obvious that this will be a long and difficult battle.

When you focus on one thing, time always passes very quickly. After a sand clock, Rayleigh switched to chopping with his left hand.

Two sand clocks later, the miners at the foot of the mountain were stunned and looked at the young man who was still splitting the iron chain from time to time. The two palms in his sight were already stained with blood. But the young man seemed not to feel the pain at all, and was still striking the iron with his palms.

"Prisoner, if you don't go mining, what are you doing here?" Scar Man, who was patrolling with a few thugs, looked at the knife-marked lazy man sitting on the ground with blazing eyes.

"Prisoner, I ask you, what are you doing here?" A thug immediately followed.

"Split the iron chain." Lei Li spat out a few words lightly.

"Who asked you to spend your time here chopping iron chains when the mine is finished?" Joseph asked dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, the digging is finished."

"You are a newcomer like you. Other veteran miners are far from finished. You are cheating here." Joseph didn't believe it at all. He turned to the supervisor and shouted, "Lawrence, this man is slacking off. Why are you doing this?" But come and tell me?"

Lawrence ran over and said, "Captain Joseph, he has finished digging for today."

Joseph's first reaction: "No way."

"It's true. Captain, you can ask other miners and they can all testify." Lawrence replied.

"Well, you go and ask." He motioned to the thugs and followed the irritating banging in his ears. The kid in front of him didn't even take a break.

He kept chopping here and there, chopping his palms till they were covered with blood. Still chopping here, there is something wrong with his brain.

"What is he doing?" Joseph asked Lawrence in confusion.

"Split the chain," replied the overseer.

Joseph took a deep breath: "Of course I know he is splitting the iron chain. I am asking you why he is doing this and how crazy he is."

The supervisor thought for a while: "The black knife said that it would break the iron chain, probably to free the feet."

"Cut the chain with your palm?" Joseph was stunned.

"Yes." The supervisor nodded.

"Turns out he's a fool!" Joseph shook his head. As long as he completed the mining amount, he didn't bother to argue with this fool.

The thugs who went to inquire soon returned and unanimously stated that the chain splitter had indeed completed the mining amount, and there was a lot more.

"let's go."

The escorts left in a swaggering manner. "Captain, I heard from the miners that the new prisoner mines at an incredibly fast speed and is extremely physically strong. He completed the work without even taking a break."

"Captain, do you think he will be a strong warrior?"

"At most, he is a reckless man. It depends on his age and how strong he can be." Joseph pointed at his head, "A powerful warrior, like me, in addition to being physically strong, fighting also needs to be carried out. It’s a matter of the brain.”

"As expected of the captain, he is awesome." The thugs praised him.

"How can someone with such a brain try to split the iron chains locking his feet with his palms and become a powerful warrior?" Joseph said with determination.

Several thugs echoed:

"Yes, it's simply impossible."

"With a single head and no brute strength, it's really not worth mentioning."

"Yes, in terms of powerful warriors, there are still those who use their brains like the captain, and the terrifying warriors like the field commander who are so huge that they are far larger than ordinary people."

Speaking of the director, a pair of violent scarlet eyes and an incredibly wide neck flashed through everyone's minds, and they couldn't help but feel a chill and admiration.

……

It was getting dark, and the entire mine was shrouded in brightness by the moonlight.

"With weather like this, if we count the days, we can watch a boxing match at night." The faces of the old miners all lit up with excitement.

There are not many entertainment activities in the mine. The open-air hand-to-hand combat competition under the moonlit night is the most exciting day. Because it is easy to pronounce, people usually simply call it a boxing match.

The boxing match is held every other week. This week has not been held yet. It is a rare time when you can enjoy ale, and it is free.

"Those who have finished mining come here to get the food, and those who have not finished continue digging." Seeing the food being delivered by the soldiers, the supervisor shouted.

The old miners walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain, and the sound of "dang, dang, dang, dang" was still heard in their ears. The young man in sight did not know whether it was because of his bad brains or his amazing perseverance. He was so sleepless and forgetful towards an impossible goal. Really rare.

"Heidao, come here and get some food." The supervisor shouted again.

"Here we come." Reilly stood up, dragging the iron chain that still had no cracks in it, and walked towards the food cart.

The overseer gave three pieces of rye bread: "The iron ore you mined today is a lot more than the task. I'll give you an extra piece of bread, and I'll pour the vegetable soup myself."

"Thank you."

Rayleigh also felt hungry at this time, so he took out the wooden bowl hanging on his waist and scooped out a bowl of soup. He finished the three pieces of rye bread in a short time.

Still feeling hungry!

How can a great general live without meat? It seems that he has to find an opportunity to get it properly.

"By the way, there is a boxing match with the Long Claw Man at the junction of Chishan in the evening. Black Knife, do you want to participate? If you win, you will get an extra large portion of meat." The supervisor saw that the young man looked like he was not full. , said one more thing.

"Yes, with Heidao's physique and pain tolerance, why don't you give it a try in a fighting competition? You might become famous in one battle and be assigned to the mine guard team, so you don't have to continue to do the hard work of mining in the future. .”

The miners who were eating food looked at the blood-covered palms in their sights, feeling secretly frightened:

The palms of his hands were split into shapeless shapes, but the young man's face had no color at all. Either he had grown up in arduous training since he was a child, or he was a born warrior.

This guy may have a terrifying talent as a warrior, but not necessarily.

"I've never learned to fight, I don't know how to fight, so I won't go." Reilly refused.

In such a situation, people talk too much and can easily cause trouble. I just want to live a stable life for two months and have no interest in becoming famous in one battle.

He openly occupied the Mountain Eagle's wife at the banquet, and killed the last Firebird of the Firebird tribe. The young man in this world had no more than five fingers of general qualifications, and his reputation at this age was already so high that it could not be higher.

He is even less interested in joining the escort and becoming a dogleg, following Scar Man to show off his power.

Mining is also a kind of exercise, not to mention hard work.

"You can't learn it. With your physical talent, find a strong fighter to learn from. I bet you will have a place in the fighting competition in the future." A miner persuaded.

"Yes, Heidao, let's go to the fighting competition. It has a better future than mining here every day." Another miner said.

"I'm stupid. I've learned fighting skills before, but I can't learn them at all." Rayleigh said casually, walked aside and continued to chop the iron chain.

What kind of fighting game is it? I'm in the mood for splitting the iron chain.

With a bang, he cut it down with a palm.

The miners shook their heads when they saw it. Such a big iron chain, let alone using the palm of the hand, would be broken by the axe. Obviously, it cannot be broken by the hand of a human hand. This man does seem to have something wrong with his brain. .

"It's a pity. I thought he was a good combat talent." The supervisor sighed.

"It's a pity that he only has physical talent but no technical talent."

"It's really puzzling to see that he seems to enjoy doing such a boring thing."

Everyone sighed in unison.

when--

Rayleigh slashed it with his palm again. It was such an interesting thing, but it was not boring at all.

Splitting chains is just like fishing. People who don't like it find it boring and can't sit still. People who like it find it a complete enjoyment.

Listening to the soft sound of the iron chain being struck by the palm of his hand, for Rayleigh at this moment, it was the ultimate enjoyment, and it was no less impressive than Runsvale——

Even more exciting!

This is the enemy of life, and fighting against this is endless fun.
