Nian Bing said: "Then you didn't say it earlier, you didn't make it clear yourself, how can you blame me? After dinner, I will go out for activities."
Chaji said helplessly: "I'll spare you this time, and I won't explain it to you. If you answer me like this again at noon, I won't give you dinner. It's time for you to go to activities, take that handle Axe, go chop wood."
Nian Bing looked in the direction Zha Ji was pointing at, and saw a large ax almost as tall as his own poked at the corner of the wall. The blade of the ax was more than a foot wide. Although it looked a little rusty on it, you could still feel it. It's sharp. Nodding his head, he said, "Master, I'll go right away. How much firewood do we need to chop back?"
Zha Ji was stunned for a moment. He thought that Nian Bing would complain when he saw the huge axe, but unexpectedly he agreed and asked subconsciously, "Don't you think this ax is too big?"
Nian Bing said helplessly: "The big ones have to be cut! Since I have me now, leave all the rough work to me. Your hands are not convenient, take more rest, maybe you can grow your tendons in the future." While speaking, he walked towards the big axe.
After listening to Nian Bing's words, the warmth that hadn't appeared for many years spread across Chaji's chest, as if something was blocked in his chest, and his heart trembled slightly.
The ax was really heavy, and Nian Bing dragged it with both hands, barely able to let it out of position. Such a heavy ax is really not convenient for chopping wood.
Chaji said: "Nian Bing, we only need to chop less firewood, enough for us to live on. What I need you to do is to use this ax to chop firewood. The finer the chopping, the better. As a chef, you must have A strong body. At the same time, sword skills also need to be practiced from clumsy strength, do you understand?"
Nian Bing nodded knowingly, smiled, and dragged the big ax out.
"Wait a minute." Chaji realized that he had forgotten one of the most important things, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. God finally gave him such a good apprentice, if he lost his life because of his own carelessness, it would be impossible to redeem him.
Nian Bing, who had just walked out of the room, looked back at Chaji who was chasing him out, "Master, is there anything else you can do?"
Cha Ji patted himself on the chest and said, "I'm so confused. You just came here, but I forgot to tell you about the situation here. This forest is called Peach Blossom Forest, because there are more than a hundred trees growing here. Seventy percent of them are mahogany."
Nian Bingxin said, isn't this nonsense? How can it be called Peach Blossom Forest without peach trees, "So what?"
Chaji said: "Most of the peach blossoms here are heterogeneous. Do you know why there are no people here? It is precisely because this peach blossom can secrete a toxin that spreads with the wind. I call it peach blossom miasma, and its toxicity is very severe." When people and animals smell it, they will convulse and die immediately. Therefore, this is one of the forbidden areas of the Ice Moon Empire. Except for a few animals with innate antibodies, there are no other living things, and people, let alone come here Therefore, you don’t have to be afraid of hunting.”
Nian Bing froze for a moment, and said, "Since peach blossom miasma is so poisonous, why are you okay?"
Cha Ji chuckled, and said, "Have you forgotten what the teacher does? I am a chef, and no one has a sharper sense of all edible things than me. Although the peach blossom miasma here is poisonous, it is not without restraint." The method is that near any highly poisonous thing, there is something that can counteract it. There is a five-leaf clover in this forest, and it is used to make medicinal powder. After taking it, the body has resistance to peach blossom miasma, and naturally It will be fine. Here you go, eat first. If you insist on taking it for three months, your body will naturally produce antibodies, so you don’t have to be afraid in the future.” While talking, Cha Ji handed a small porcelain bottle to Nian Bing.
The medicinal powder made from five-leaf clover tasted bitter, and Nian Bing almost spit it out after eating it, and finally swallowed it completely. Then he dragged the big ax and walked into the woods.
Walking into the peach blossom forest, Nian Bing observes the surrounding environment. The air here is very fresh, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. The air is very humid. This should be related to the Tianqing River next to the peach blossom forest. There are only There is a small gap, although he is not tall, he must be careful when walking so as not to be touched by the peach tree.
Peach trees are not tall, even old peach trees are the same. The branches and leaves are scattered around. It is much easier to chop it for firewood than ordinary trees with tall trunks. However, now Nian Bing is facing a problem, even if those peach branches are very short, he has to be able to lift an axe. At his young age, how can he swing an ax that is difficult for adults to pick up
Looking at the peach tree in front of him, Nian Bing felt a little troubled. After several attempts, besides making himself tired, he could only get the ax off the ground at most. Strength has never been a magician's forte.
"If I can condense an ice blade now, maybe I can cut off the branches." Nian Bing said to himself, but although he already has the magic power of the ice system, he has never practiced the ice system before. Magic spells, without the right spells, even if you have magic power, there is nothing you can do. Is it possible to use fire magic to burn it? He has already memorized the fire magic spells, from the first level to the eighth level, but it is useless unless he wants to burn the peach tree in front of him.
The ax is indeed too heavy for a ten-year-old child. Sitting under the peach tree, Nian Bing was thinking with a brain far superior to that of his peers. Break some branches and go back? No, in that case, I would not be able to chop wood myself. Just chop some rough ones and go back. But if you can't hold an axe, how can you chop it
Suddenly, an idea came to Nian Bing's mind. Although he doesn't know ice magic, he has a kind of fire knife technique in the second-level fire magic. The attack power is still concentrated on the fire. If you cut down the trees, not only will the effect not be good, but it will easily cause a fire. If the peach blossom forest catches fire, it will be troublesome. However, if the incantation of the flame knife is changed to turn the fire into ice when singing, I don't know if it will work. With my own magic power, although it is a little bit difficult to use second-level magic, but I can give it a try, anyway, there is no loss.
Nian Bing jumped up from the ground, threw the ax aside and ignored it, took out his precious Ice and Snow Goddess Stone from his arms, smiled slightly, pinched it with his thumb and index finger and held it high above his head, and chanted with concentration: "O ice element! I beg you, condense into a sharp giant blade, and cut off the shackles and shackles of the world." The voice and tone were completely in accordance with the method of the flame knife, and he clearly felt that the ice elements around him were condensing towards him at a fast speed. The ice magic power in the left half of his body resonated continuously. In mid-air, a near-transparent ice skate about a foot long appeared floatingly. Nian Bing was overjoyed, knowing that he had succeeded, he pointed at a branch as thick as a thigh in front of him, "Go."
The light flashed, and the ice blade slammed, and it fell on the branch and turned into pieces. After all, his magic power is not strong enough, and the power of the ice blade is very limited, but even so, Nian Bing is still very excited, he knows , I have already found a shortcut. Maybe middle and high-level magic have their own unique spells, but for low-level magic, the method of singing should be similar. The branch was cut by the ice knife, and a crack about one-third deep appeared. Nian Bing didn't use the ice knife to look at it again. He ran to the branch, grabbed it with both hands, and used his body to fall hard. pull.
The branch with the gap was not metal after all, and snapped immediately with a sound of Kara.
Using the same method continuously, Nian Bing was surprised to find that the ice magic power he had just had was more than the fire magic power before. After using the ice knife seven times in a row, the ice magic power was consumed clean. On the ground, there were also seven thick branches.
