The Assassin’s Apprentice

Chapter 177: Sneaking in the dark

Views:

The moon hangs high in the sky, and the clear light is so gentle on the human world, it calms down the earth that has been scorched by the scorching sun all day, and at the same time brings a faint light to people who travel at night.

At this time, two black shadows were moving fast under the moonlight. It was Meng Yu, the old man, and Ye Tong on the old man's back. At this time, three hours had passed since their departure.

Even with Ye Tong on his back, the old man still maintained a uniform speed, but Meng Yu began to breathe. Meng Yu felt that his fighting spirit and physical strength were rapidly losing, and his speed slowed down unconsciously.

The old man looked back at Meng Yu in a strange way, as if he was very dissatisfied with Meng Yu's performance. He frowned and said, "With your cultivation as a great swordsman, you won't be able to hold on after running for so long, right? Your teacher is Who? How to teach such poor students?"

"Didn't your teacher teach you how to breathe while running?"

Meng Yu couldn't help feeling aggrieved. He travels all year round in a carriage. How could he have run for such a long time? The reason why he can persist until now is because of his solid foundation. As for the footstep, it is a pace used for fighting. It is true that the speed will be much faster if he comes to hurry, but his fighting spirit may have been exhausted long ago.

"I learned fighting qi from my aunt. She didn't teach me any skills, not even martial arts, but just let me practice fighting qi." Meng Yu replied with a wry smile.

The old man frowned again, apparently not believing Meng Yu's words very much, but Meng Yu's performance of saving Ye Tong with all his might made him feel good about it.

"Everyone has their own secrets, if you don't want to tell them, I won't ask them either."

"But, now, listen to me carefully. Dou Qi has always been stored in our body. The power of elements absorbed when cultivating Dou Qi is just a supplement to the strength in our body. Dou Qi comes from the body and is stored in the muscles. , in addition to training, muscles will also slowly absorb the power of the elements to grow themselves, which is why children will become stronger when they grow up."

"So, while running, although the fighting energy in the body will be consumed, the fighting energy will also be restored while running. If you can accurately grasp the boundary between recovery and consumption, you must always ensure that the recovery is greater than the consumption, at least let the recovery be equal to the consumption. , then at this speed, you can run almost forever.”

"Actually, this is mainly the control of the rhythm. With your cultivation base, as long as you master the rhythm, you will have no problem running at this speed for more than ten hours. You are tired now, because your running rhythm is not right. .”

"First of all, you need to master the rhythm of breathing, come on, run three steps, exhale, run three more steps, inhale..."

"Come on, stop for a while, take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale, and mix the breath evenly."

"Again, keep running. Don't touch the ground with your toes this time. Let the soles of your feet touch the ground. After the soles of your feet touch the ground completely, use the reverse thrust to continue running forward..."

"Control your breathing, keep up with my rhythm, one two one, inhale, one two one, exhale..."

It has to be said that the old man is a very good teacher, and at the same time, he also showed the great strength of the old man. He can teach Meng Yu with ease while maintaining his forward speed with a heavy load.

And Meng Yu was also studying hard, running with the old man's rhythm, counting his breath and pace without any distractions, forgetting his physical fatigue.

With the understanding of the skills taught by the old man, Meng Yu even felt that his understanding of Chibu had deepened, and he even wondered if he could add this technique to Chibu, so that his ability to continue fighting would be greatly enhanced.

When you focus on one thing, the passage of time will no longer attract your attention. As you run, Meng Yu's pace begins to rhythmic, and his breathing becomes even, as if he has stepped over After a hurdle, he felt that the exhaustion before had disappeared without a trace, and a trace of fighting spirit actually emerged from his muscles.

Seeing Meng Yu's current state, the old man on the side couldn't help admiring. He could see that Meng Yu really didn't know this skill at all at first. He didn't expect Meng Yu to be able to master it in such a short period of time. , which also made him more interested in Meng Yu.

Skills are different from cultivation. If the talent is good enough, the initial cultivation can be improved quickly, but the comprehension of the skills cannot be completed overnight. After comprehending the skills, the body must adapt, so that one's muscles can Make an instinctive reaction, and no one can achieve this step without long-term hard training.

The more they cultivate to the later stage, the talent is no longer so important in the eyes of masters like them, but the more difficult to measure comprehension, which they value more, and the kid in front of him can master this skill in such a short period of time. Very good!

After seeing that Meng Yu would not fall behind, the old man nodded secretly: "We killed a small group of elite scouts from the Morin Empire. They must have discovered it a long time ago. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they should have sent a 'tracker' by now." Raiders' squad is coming to find us."

"We have been away for so long, not to mention in the desert, even in other places, they should have found no traces, right?" Meng Yu asked with some doubts, although there was nothing wrong with the old man's decision to leave quickly Dissenting, however, he didn't think the other side would be able to catch up with them.

If they could, they wouldn't wait until three days later to arrive.

"As long as there are biological activities, traces will be left. Since they can become 'trackers', there are naturally tracking masters. If they want to leave a little trace, they can find us."

"So we have to leave here quickly, and we must be fast, because there should be intercepting teams in front of us. They will not let us reach Broken Blade City safely. If we are not fast enough, we will face front and back Pinched."

"I..." Meng Yu felt that the unlucky things he had encountered in the past few days had happened one after another. The luck was really bad, which made him have the urge to vomit blood.

After running for most of the night, the old man finally stopped, pointed to the distance and said, "Let's take a rest here, the people intercepted by the Morin Empire should be ahead."

"Front?" Meng Yu was taken aback. There was clearly nothing in front of him. The only change was that he was already some distance away from the desert, and greenery began to appear around him. However, he could see the horizon ahead at a glance. None, let alone anyone.

The old man looked at the puzzled Meng Yu like an idiot: "Since you know Duan Ren City, you should also know Duan Ren Tian Ya?"

"The End of the Broken Blade is a long and narrow canyon that can only pass through a dozen people side by side. This is the only place to go to Broken Blade City. Although it is a natural barrier for the Renault Empire, it is also the best place for the Morin Empire to intercept us. position, so where would they be if they weren't in front?"

The old man didn't even show off, and explained directly to Meng Yu.

"Okay, let's rest quickly. If you can't pass the previous level, it's useless to think about anything. We still have three hours. When the sky just dawns, it's time for us to make a surprise attack."

Meng Yu was taken aback, looked at the moon in the sky, and unknowingly ran to the northwest corner. They have been running since evening. Even after learning the old man's skills, Meng Yu was exhausted. After the first battle, Meng Yu was not too scared.

He is no longer the kid who just came to this world. After so many things, this world is slowly changing Meng Yu.

Without sleep, Meng Yu sat cross-legged and began to practice. Although such a rush was exhausting, it was nothing to Meng Yu who had been cultivating crazily.

In the dark night, at the edge of the Moray Desert, the hut under the moonlight stands alone in the boundless desert, like a lonely watchman.

A group of black shadows moving under the moonlight quietly appeared outside the hut, the leading man in black made a gesture, and the rest were regularly distributed around the hut, and then rushed into the hut from different directions at the same time.

The moment they entered the hut, they drew their weapons out of nowhere, and under the moonlight, a gloomy icy light shone.

However, their raid this time was destined to return in vain. A moment later, after a thorough search in the hut, these black shadows gathered together again.
