The warm moon ends and the windy moon comes. During these days, Rikka is still hunting on the Miracle Plains every day, and Boom also knows that it can condense entities in the dimensional space.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but this does not include Boom's cultivation progress.
More than half a year has passed, and he is still the lowest level magic apprentice. If there are levels of magic apprentices, then he is just a middle-level waste now.
Although this kind of cultivation speed cannot be called rapid progress, it is definitely not a stupid idiot. But for Boom, this kind of torture with little hope is really disgusting.
So today he planned to go for a walk with Rikka to the Miracle Plains, firstly to change his mood, and secondly to think about whether his decision was correct.
Rikka didn't think too much about this. She only knew that her brother would stay with her all day today. Therefore, in such an extremely excited mood, she rarely accidentally burned the food.
Not long after, two figures wearing gray linen hoods appeared in the Miracle Plains. The former walked on a familiar road, while the latter followed quietly.
"Brother, look, those are the new lions. A good skin can be sold for five gold coins." Liuhua and Boom squatted in the reeds, whispering.
"Be careful and run away if you can't." Boom was a little worried after hearing this, but still chose to believe in the other party's strength.
"Don't worry, this kind of small scene is nothing, I can handle it in minutes." After Rikka finished speaking, he stood up instantly and slowly transformed his hands into short blades.
I saw it approaching the lions carelessly, not paying attention to the other's roars and warnings. As you can imagine, a fight began.
The first ones to pounce were a few lionesses, their sharp claws standing upright and their fangs extremely sharp. However, Rikka showed no interest in this and stabbed their throats with her hand.
The chaotic battle came to an abrupt end. The Lion King not far away widened his eyes, and Boom, who was hiding behind, stayed in place. He knew that Rikka was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong.
The lion king roared violently, and wanted to tear the human in front of him into pieces and dismember him. However, while he was in mid-air, he saw a stream of blood pouring down, and the source was his own heart.
"I won't kill the cubs, so you can leave. Whether you live or die depends on your own ability." Rikka said coldly, saying this conclusion that she repeated countless times.
Less than ten minutes! Boom walked out of hiding with a wry smile, the smell of blood still lingering in the air. At this moment, he felt a little bitter in his heart, because he was still a magic apprentice.
Rikka was also frowning. You must know that a piece of Lion King's skin can be sold for twenty gold coins. But right now it is worthless. Just because she wanted to show off in front of her brother, she just pierced the other man's skin.
Heart.
However, the scene that surprised Boom even more continued to unfold. It was not that he had never seen the opponent kill a beast before, and he also expected its strength, but this was the first time he had seen it skinned.
It was only at this moment that Boom fully understood the "skinning combat technique" that the opponent had been talking about all day long. The bloody process made Boom, an orphan who considered himself cold-blooded, unable to bear to look directly at it.
Rikka was seen skillfully lining up the four lionesses on the ground, and the short blades of his hands were moving back and forth as if they were alive. Just a moment later, the four lion skins were propped up on the wooden bars, and the bodies were as red as pomegranates. It wasn't until these things were done that Rikka returned to her original appearance again. She kept shouting, like a child eager to take credit.
Boom grinned in embarrassment. As a weakling, he really didn't know how to praise the other person at the moment. He even had the illusion that maybe he was the other person's contract beast and the one who really needed to be protected.
"Brother, brother, are you awesome?" Liuhua raised her little face and asked with some expectation.
"Awesome! At least much better than me." Boom weakly touched the opponent's little head, and the feeling of disparity in his heart swelled again.
The killing still continues, because at the end of winter, countless nomadic tribes have arrived one after another. But the things they need are different.
These four lion skins are just an unexpected harvest from Rikka. But today's main goal is to promise ten antelope skins to a certain nomadic tribe.
In Boom's understanding, the antelope is an extremely fast and timid creature. Whenever a human approaches, it will immediately flee.
Therefore, although Rikka showed strong strength and fighting skills, Boom was not optimistic that she could easily capture the antelope, let alone ten of them.
But things like slaps in the face seemed to be prepared for this moment. While Boom, who was sitting cross-legged on the boulder, was still thinking wildly, Rikka's figure had already turned into an afterimage.
It was like a violent hurricane, rushing into the herd of antelopes in an instant, and easily knocked out four or five of them. The beasts that had just reacted, although they ran away quickly, could not escape the fate of being slaughtered in the end. Ten! No more, no less! Rikka performed her "skinning combat skill" again, while Boom was a little absent-minded, staring blankly at the sky.
In the afternoon, Rikka went alone to trade with the nomadic tribe. Boom was still lying on the boulder, still looking at the unpredictable sky.
He has long forgotten how long it has been since he was so free. Free enough to do nothing and not have to worry about the next meal. Free enough to think about life instead of peeking in.
He slowly raised his hands, and the familiar "Elemental Summoning" was instantly performed, and a faint magical fluorescence adhered to the whole body. Then the casting stopped abruptly, because these useless things could not kill the beasts, not even the ants. p>
"What would life be like if the magic crystals consumed by me were exchanged for gold coins? Maybe I and Rikka are already small businessmen." Boom thought secretly.
He felt more and more that he could not stand up to Rikka. From the perspective of the contracted beast, the other party was so powerful, but he was a useless magic apprentice.
Think about it from the perspective of being an elder brother, or a master. Since I don’t have the talent for cultivation, why would I waste my time or even condone Rikka’s dangerous behavior?
Unwilling! Boom is really unwilling to end here. Even if he can only become a junior magician, it will be enough to change his destiny and reward his persistence.
But now he can only practice silently, with no one to guide him and no secrets.
Rikka's familiar figure appeared on the horizon, jumping up and down as if she had never been troubled. However, the black wooden staff standing beside her quietly glowed with fluorescence, but it was very small, so small that no one could notice it. "Let's go home. Brother will buy you sugar cakes later." Boom shook his head, life must continue, and practice must continue.
"Okay, okay, brother is the best, so I want to eat two yuan today, no! Three yuan!" After Liuhua put a money bag into the dimensional space, she immediately hugged Boom's arm.
The two figures gradually disappeared at the city gate and walked towards the market area. Since he planned to rest for a day, Boom simply left the trip to Rikka. Today he has only one identity, and that is the other party's brother.<
