The secluded life made both of them forget those unpleasant experiences, and they lived a self-sufficient life quite happily.
But both Xiang En and Andrea knew that such days couldn't last too long, and they would eventually leave.
Click! Click!
Xiang En stayed in the center of the village. With the help of the abundant light outside the house, abstract lines were carved on a half-meter-high wooden board.
There are several wooden bowls placed on the ground nearby. The wooden bowls are filled with natural dyes collected from plants.
After blowing off the last bit of sawdust, Xiang En looked at the totem statue in his hand with satisfaction, put down the carving knife, dipped a bowl of red wolf blood into it with a brush and began to smear on the lines, and inject a small amount of magic power.
When both sides of the abstract wood carving are painted with strange colors, a mysterious and demonic power is stored in the wood carving. Two strokes of black paint fall into the eyes of the wood carving, and the power is restrained, becoming a weapon that can be used at any time. Trap Totem.
Looking at his work with satisfaction, Xiang En put it next to him, where three other identical trap totems were stacked.
After several days of fearful camping, Xiang En really wanted to point out the branches of the totem skills, but the various things on the road made him exhausted, and all the skill points were wasted on skills with relatively ordinary abilities. Pointing out The totem skill is already on the 41st day in the village.
Now, if Xiang En doesn't hunt in the forest, he either refines medicine and carves totems every day, or asks Andrea to brush up his skill proficiency.
With fixed teammates and an environment without anyone to disturb me, my progress in 41 days was several times faster than the difficult starting period after leaving the academy.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Andrea ran past him with a big sword on her shoulder, sweating profusely and looking full of youthfulness.
Xiang En only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, picked up a palm-sized cylindrical piece of wood, and began to carve the newly learned goat totem.
41 days of hunting and Xiang En's large-dose feeding have raised Andrea's magic power to the silver stage.
It is not difficult to upgrade from the bronze stage to the silver stage. Students who have just left the academy will be able to work hard for a while.
But to advance from the silver stage to the gold stage, you need to purify your magic power so that the magic crystal will not be shattered by the beating of the heart. You also need to let the heart lightly fuse the magic power, and try to inject the magic power into the blood to flow naturally. Such difficulty It's not even a bit bigger than simply accumulating magic power.
Reaching the silver stage only means that a professional has changed from a rookie to a novice, and there is still a long way to go after that.
If you don't try to purify the magic power yourself, you can only force-feed it with magic crystals. After most of the magic power escapes, what is left is yours.
Now Andrea's magic power content has reached the silver level standard, but her physical fitness has not, so she proactively requested to stop hunting for a period of time to exercise her body and digest the harvest.
…
Today was the fifth day of training. She was running in circles with the big sword on her shoulders every day, and then swung it back and forth. With the stimulation of her muscles and body by magic power, she was making steady progress.
Xiang En also taught her frog jumps, push-ups, sit-ups, and helped her exercise her flexibility, as well as the Zama step.
Andrea said she was very embarrassed!
It was even a little surprising that Xiang En's training method was indeed better than the academy's method, and it was very planned and purposeful.
Bang!
Andrea, who was sweating profusely, threw the big sword not far in front of Xiang En. She picked up the bucket on the wooden chair nearby and drank heavily. After drinking, she began to pat her body to relax her muscles.
This is what Xiang En taught me. Although my whole body is still sore the next day after Paida, doing this can really help me recover from high-intensity exercise the fastest.
Xiang En glanced at her calmly. Andrea, who was exercising, put on a short shirt and shorts that he cut by himself. Most of her body was exposed. This was impossible according to the unspoken rules of this world. attire.
Even on the hottest day of the year, the girls in the academy would wear long, light clothes and trousers, leaving only their faces, hands and feet exposed.
At this time, Andrea, in the eyes of some conservative people, was almost the same as wearing nothing. The short pants were no different from hot pants, revealing her legs that seemed to be reflecting light. The visual effect made Xiang En dare not Look more and dare not think too much.
Before becoming a large farmer, the most important thing is to improve your strength and strive to live stably until your natural death.
But he couldn't help but take a second look...
Not only the legs, there is only a navel-baring dress. The custom of wrapping up the body is too bad. Even though I don’t have much in the first place, I still have to wrap it up in so many layers. Fortunately, I am not that superficial person!
That place had no attraction for him. Xiang En's eyes continued to look up, and he met Andrea's bright red eyes.
"Ahem..."
He immediately put down the carving knife, picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip to relieve his embarrassment.
Andrea also avoided looking. This kind of dressing is indeed very, very bold, but it is really fun to exercise in this way. After trying it once, I can't go back!
Her cheeks were extremely flushed because she had just finished exercising. Andrea took a deep breath and pushed back the hair stuck to her face. In order to resolve the strange atmosphere at this time, she took the initiative to speak for the first time.
"Xiang En, have you noticed that the color of the clouds in the sky seems a little wrong?"
"Ah, isn't it quite white, uh, quite normal?"
Xiang En put down the water glass, raised his head very cooperatively, and looked at the sky above him. Talking about the weather is indeed a good choice when you don't know what to talk about. Andrea has also made progress!
Rejoiced.
There were dark clouds in the sky, a cool breeze, and the light at noon seemed very dim. After entering the house, I couldn't see anything without lighting an oil lamp.
Although it was a little darker, it was still within Xiang En's acceptable range. At least it didn't have the color of burning magma during the previous massacre of the city.
"Really?" After hearing this, Andrea raised her head and wondered if she had seen it wrong. She always felt that the clouds above her head were a little green.
The warrior's eyesight is better than that of the mage. She can still see a little bit of green in the sky when she looks left and right.
But if Xiang Endu said she didn't see it, she would treat it as a side effect of high-intensity exercise.
After lowering her groggy head, Andrea stopped worrying about the color of the clouds and looked at Xiang En, "I'm ready to rest."
Xiang En didn't waste any time. He raised his hand and released [Surge] to her several times in a row, bringing her back to her peak state.
Although her physical strength has been restored, all the muscle soreness has been retained. The muscle soreness after the surging technique immediately spread throughout Andrea's body. It hurt as if dozens of technicians were pressing the acupuncture points, but she still bit her Ya picked up the heavy sword and exercised around the village, only changing from running to leapfrog.
After casting the spell, Xiang En carefully carved the log in his hand in the center of the village. It was not until the afternoon that the bust of the sheep head in his hand was finished. It was completed after smearing wolf blood on the eyes.
Xiang En was extremely satisfied as he raised the wood carving in his hand. After putting down the wood carving, his consciousness sank into his mind.
The golden talent tree deep in the soul was opened, and the first page presented Xiang En's current skills in the form of a catalog...

The name of the goat totem is not impressive, but it cost Xiang En 6 skill points to learn it. The skills in the talent book did not have a detailed description, but he knew what the effect was.
According to his understanding, sensitive reaction is an increase in the speed of nerve reflexes. Within the scope of the goat totem, Xiang En seems to have acquired spider sense.
Andrea threw three stones at the same time, and he was able to catch them all without falling to the ground. It was a very powerful benefit in the ever-changing battle!
