Evolution starts with fire

Chapter 8 It is said that carbon monoxide can strengthen courage?

"Xiaotong, are you okay?"

In the darkness, Nan Bo held a sword in one hand, landed on his toes lightly, and looked at the little girl a few meters away benevolently.

Although he is only 14 years old, Li Tong has a strength that doesn't match his age - a one-star monk!
According to the tradition, everyone will sign an equal contract with the different fire since they were young.

It varies from person to person, each person has a different affinity for flames, and the same person has different strengths and different affinities.

Every time one level of strength increases, the affinity with the flame will increase.

亲和度分为十个阶段，从0－9％，10％－19％，20％－29％……

Each level of affinity corresponds to the corresponding strength, apprentice, one-star, two-star, three-star, cave fire, refining fire, transforming fire, extraordinary, peerless, consummation...

Li Tong is only 14 years old and has a one-star strength, which can be described as a genius.

If the body is a man, the next generation of Patriarch must be her.

Thinking of Li Tong, another person appeared in Nan Bo's mind, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

Why is there such a big gap in talent for the same child born to the head of the family? Could there be some clues to this?
After testing, the 16-year-old Li Yu's affinity for flames is only 1%, and he is not even an apprentice until now...

Whenever he read this, Nan Bo felt a pain in his heart.

As the old servant of the head of the family, he watched the two children grow up. In this society where power is paramount, he naturally hopes that the two of them will be as strong as possible.

Seeing that Li Tong was fine, he immediately felt relieved.

"Uncle Nan, I'm fine." Li Tong flicked his bangs, and after wiping off the fine sweat on his forehead, the figure of a slim young girl was revealed.

Through the long hair scattered behind his shoulders, Li Tong with a small round face pointed in the direction of the warehouse, "Uncle Nan, we have been fooled, the wolves at the main entrance are all outcasts, and the real target of the wolf king is the quilt fabric in the warehouse. Dozens of little wolves dug a tunnel from the ground and entered the town to join the wolf king, and everyone couldn't resist it."

"Are there any casualties?" Nan Bo asked the most worried question.

"That's not true, only a few people were slightly injured, just bandage them."

Hearing this, Nan Bo heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately, his brows were furrowed again, guessing the wolf king's intentions.

The winter in Chiqi Town is very cold, Nan Bo knows this.

In winter, twenty degrees below zero is the norm.

In the era without heating, the physique of ordinary people was not strong enough to withstand the severe cold, so they could only dwell at home, covered with thick quilts, and lit the stove to warm up.

In the past, I have also heard cases of wolves intercepting passing pedestrians, not killing their lives, but only taking clothes.

It's just that nowadays, with the urgency of the wolf king, it's rare to abandon most of the tribe.

Thinking about it, he suddenly heard howling wolves from the south gate.

Three long and two short, clearly with great malice!
Nan Bo is not very human, he listens most carefully.

"Follow me to save people!"

After leaving a word, he rushed back without stopping.

……

"Big brothers, do you believe me when I say I'm here to save you?"

In the depths of the shelter forest, surrounded by more than a dozen gray wolves, Li Yu wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and launched a secret technique: mouth gun!
However, Gray Wolf couldn't understand Li Yu's begging for mercy, and threw a piece of roasted rotten meat to him.

Li Yu's face turned pale with fright.

Didn't you agree that only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are left? When did you young wolves become such thieves and know how to restrain the corpses of your companions?
……

Time rewinds to a few minutes ago.

In order to find the lone wolf, Li Yu got into the shelter forest alone, but soon lost his way.

The protective forest covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, and Li Yu just wandered around like this.

Not to mention, his luck was really good. After walking a few hundred meters, he encountered an old wolf licking his wound.

It can be said that all the wolves that Zhang Yan deliberately let go have fled to the vicinity.

Overjoyed, Li Yu rubbed the bandages with his hands and grabbed the old wolf, as if seeing a divine favor.

It's a pity that the old wolf didn't understand Li Yu's actions, so he howled and called his companions together.

"Gollum."

Seeing a row of green eyes and exposed fangs, and hearing the sound of saliva dripping on the ground, Li Yu swallowed.

He knew that he was in trouble, and he had to confess his life here.

The wolves took a step closer, and Li Yu took a step back.

He didn't dare to call loudly, for fear of breaking the short-term balance.

"What should I do?"

After taking a few deep breaths of carbon monoxide, Li Yu's mind became cloudy, dizzy, and he became more courageous.

"bring it on."

He summoned his own contract flame.

The temperature of the flame is not high, floating in the air like a will-o'-the-wisp, closely guarding Li Yu's safety.

It's just... the flame seemed to be extremely tense, flickering and flickering, without the stance of a flame overlord at all.

This is also normal, Li Yu's affinity with Huo Huo is not high, and Huo Huo, who is willing to sign a contract with him, is definitely not very strong with a garbage talent like him.

Unless the flame is blind.

The unknown flame with a first-order quality trembled, it was communicating with Li Yu, and proposed a feasible escape suggestion.

It is impossible to count on two good-for-nothings to fight.

Even the unknown flame has plans to give up Li Yu.

Anyway, it signed an equal contract with Li Yu. When the owner dies, the contract will be automatically broken without affecting both parties.

Without the shackles of his master, the unknown flame is confident that he can escape for his life.

Even if it is a first-level flame, the lowest quality, with consciousness, it has inherited the God of Fire and obtained various secret techniques, so it is still no problem to escape.

"Ow, ooh!"

The patience of the wolves finally ran out.

Smelling more and more human breath in the air, the strong gray wolf headed by kicked its hind legs, jumped up, and rushed straight to Li Yu.

Fast, too fast!
Is this the difference between me and the gray wolf?
Li Yu was shocked, but his movements were not slow. He recalled the notes in the book "Detailed Explanation of the Usage and Effects of Contract Flame" in his mind, and immediately made a tactic with both hands to draw out the unknown flame and protect it on his chest.

A faint fire-attribute aura emanates from Li Yu's body. Although there are only a few wisps of smoke, it is mysterious.

however……

Faced with such protection, Gray Wolf is only one claw.

bass!
The flame was split in half, and Li Yu himself was overturned to the ground by the force of the beast!
The two are not on the same level at all.

"It's so dangerous, if it wasn't for the thick armor on the chest, it would have killed me in one blow."

Li Yu looked at the armor with cracks on his chest, and felt like crying.

This moment finally made Li Yu wake up from the carbon monoxide poisoning state, his mind was clearer than ever, and he took another breath of thick poisonous gas, and he performed his unique skill.

"Help, is there anyone???!!!"

"Help me!"

"I am the son of the head of the Li family, one of the four major families in the Li country. If anyone saves me, I... I will definitely become friends with him, and I will share half of my savings with him!"

"By the way, there is also a house. This is a house next to the capital. No amount of money can buy it!"

"I also asked someone to make a copy of the statues of the three beauties of the Li country. If you want, you can take it, as long as you can save my life!"
