At the foot of Erlang Mountain, in a thatched house.
Chen Yan looked around and found that the house was really in a bad state.
The four walls were all leaking, and one-third of the grass on the roof was gone.
The ground is full of water, and you might step on mud if you're not careful.
In fact, there is something even more disgusting.
There was a pile of rotten and moldy thatch spread in the corner, exuding a pungent smell, and there seemed to be snakes and insects crawling in and out.
In the past, Chen Yan would have stayed away from him, but now, he had to walk through the muddy water.
Because there is an ax on the thatched bed.
Yang Zongyue's strategy clearly states that this ax is the only melee weapon that Chen Yan can use at the moment.
So it's not a matter of whether he wants to take it or not, but it's a matter of having to take it.
Reaching out to hold the handle of the axe, Chen Yan felt like he was holding the body of a snake.
Yes, the ax handle is already covered with green moss and is very slippery.
Look at the rust on the ax head, which is also covered in layers, and the blade is actually thicker than your finger.
He shook his head and picked up the ax.
It's a little heavier than expected, and the wooden handle isn't loose at all, but it feels wonderful in the hand.
But you can't leave now because there is still a weapon in the haystack.
If you haven't read the guide, Chen Yan will definitely ignore it.
Yang Zongyue ignored it back then, and then spent a long time to find it, so he specially added a strong feature in the guide.
Take a deep breath, raise your head, close your eyes, bend down and reach out.
He dug his fingers into the rotten grass, groping for what he was looking for with his fingertips.
The sound of insects escaping quickly rang in my ears, and some crawled onto the back of Chen Yan's hand, all the way up his wrist, and it felt like they were almost on his face.
Chen Yan gritted his teeth and continued to touch inside, and finally...
I touched a bow!
The feeling of the arched back is more disgusting than the ax handle, so disgusting that it can no longer be described as smooth.
And once the rotten grass is uncovered, the smell is comparable to poisonous gas.
Chen Yan didn't dare to hesitate any more, grabbed the bow and ran away.
Almost at the same time, a shadow also moved, following Chen Yan silently like a ghost.
If you haven't read the guide, Chen Yan will definitely be shocked.
But in fact he was so frightened that he staggered a bit.
This shadow is Chen Yan's personal mark cast in the void.
This mark only belongs to him, and only he can see it.
It will record all Chen Yan's actions in the void and save things that are inconvenient to take away when he leaves the void.
So this is actually a camera follower with a storage function, with no blind spots in all directions, and can keep working 24 hours a day, no, indefinitely.
In addition, it also has a playback function.
If Chen Yan forgets something or wants to summarize his experiences and lessons, then the personal imprint will meet his needs.
But others can't see it, but Chen Xiaoqiang can.
This guy had gone out a long time ago and was sniffing around in the mud outside. He was about to grin when he saw Chen Yan coming out, but suddenly saw the shadow behind him, and his smile immediately froze.
"It's not a ghost!" Chen Yan explained.
Well, just for a moment, and then he walked away.
The guide says there is a small river nearby where weapons can be cleaned and sharpened.
So now Chen Yan is eager to complete this matter, otherwise he would really be tempted to throw away the ax and bow together...
Following the sound of gurgling water, after bypassing a bamboo forest, a small river with a rather fast current appeared in front of me.
There are many smooth pebbles by the river, which are really good for sharpening axes.
But before Chen Yan could get closer, he saw a kayak floating downstream. There was a person on the boat paddling hard. Judging from his posture and strength, he should be a professional athlete.
Chen Yan's mouth opened wide, and before he could say anything, Chen Xiaoqiang screamed.
Yes, classmate Xiaoqiang also thinks it’s outrageous.
Aren't you here to level up? Why did a kayaker come before the monster?
The dogs barked and echoed.
But the man turned a deaf ear. He crossed the person and the dog at an extremely fast speed, leaving only a handsome figure fighting against the rapids...
At this time, Chen Yan finally woke up.
This is actually just a void projection. If it has nothing to do with this mythical story, it will only be a redundant image, and...
If it doesn't go well, I'll do it again.
Sure enough, when Chen Yan washed the ax handle in the water and then found a handy pebble to grind the axe, Chen Xiaoqiang screamed again.
Looking up, the kayaking comrades appeared.
Still the same movements and postures, the same concentrated expression, the same speed passing in front of me.
But this time Chen Yan saw his face clearly. He was from the Dong tribe, about thirty years old.
This person should be very famous in his world, at least a "great god" in kayak rafting, so his void projection would be inserted into the mythical void imprint.
The driving force behind it is actually faith.
The ax was finally sharpened. Although it was not as sharp as a knife, it was sharp enough.
Then he cleaned the bow, and when its original appearance was completely revealed, Chen Yan discovered that it was just an ordinary recurve wood bow.
There is a small leather pocket as big as a fingernail at the center of the bow string, which does not look like it is used for archery.
Yes, this is actually a slingshot.
Chen Yan bent down and searched for it on the ground, picked up a small stone, put it into his leather pocket, drew the bow with both hands, and shot it out with a bang.
The shot was closer than expected, only about twenty meters away.
The back of the bow and the bow string are strong enough, and they don't look like they will break after a few uses.
But the lethality is really worrying, and it doesn’t feel as useful as a hand-held slingshot made of wire.
However, the strategy says that this slingshot is very important, especially after finding suitable projectiles, it is much more powerful than an axe.
Chen Yan put his bow behind his back and looked at the kayaker who passed by for the thirteenth time. While waving to him, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket.
He felt that he had spent at least half an hour, but the minute hand on the dial had only moved three minutes.
Therefore, time here is also about ten times faster.
I looked up at the sky and saw that the afternoon sun was just right.
Looking at Erlang Mountain, which seemed to be very close at hand, Chen Yan put the ax on his shoulder and whistled at Chen Xiaoqiang.
The roaring dog immediately ran out and ran for more than a hundred meters before stopping.
There is a path up the mountain, but the intersection is blocked by a pile of boulders.
Chen Xiaoqiang jumped several times but failed to jump up. He was so anxious that he was spinning around.
The guide says that to remove these boulders, you must cut down a tree and then use the principle of leverage to pry the stones off piece by piece.
Of course, if you already have a certain level of strength and have enough strength, you can also move it away with your bare hands.
Of course Chen Yan went to chop down the tree.
There is a small forest not far to the left. The trees are of different heights. It took me a long time to find a suitable one, and then it took me a long time to cut down the tree.
It's not that he has no strength, but he doesn't know how to cut. The cross section is as ugly as a dog chewing it, which made Chen Xiaoqiang roll his eyes.
It actually wants to help, and in fact it can help.
Because the Roaring Sky Dog's initial attributes are actually stronger than Chen Yan's, it would probably only take a few minutes if he really wants to bite the dog.
But Chen Yan insisted on finishing the cutting by himself, because he knew that he would have to improve his proficiency when there was still time to cut down trees later.
And cutting down trees means cutting down people, so it’s good to practice your skills more...
The tree is more than ten meters long and as thick as a bowl of ocean. It weighs more than two hundred kilograms at least, but it is very light when carried on the shoulders.
Chen Yan tried jumping a few times, but still felt no pressure.
So, is this a problem with the tree or has its own power actually increased?
After thinking about it, it should be the latter.
The godhead has improved Chen Yan's basic attributes to a certain extent. In addition to strength, his endurance has also improved a lot. He hasn't even breathed since he cut down the tree.
Then he carried the tree trunk and walked forward. When he reached the huge stone roadblock, he still didn't feel tired at all, which made Chen Yan feel happy.
He whistled, signaling Chen Xiaoqiang to stay away to avoid being hit by stones.
Then he picked up the tree trunk and started to pry the top boulder.
Because the guide has detailed introduction to the fulcrum location, I quickly pried the stone off.
After a while, the last boulder was left.
This stone is very large and blocks the intersection tightly.
The surface was covered with vines and moss, almost filling all the gaps that could be used as fulcrums, so Chen Yan couldn't pry it open several times.
At this moment he was finally sweating and panting.
At the same time, he realized that he was doing something stupid.
In fact, there is no need to pry at all, just turn it over.
So he grinned and was about to climb up the boulder. Chen Xiaoqiang suddenly screamed loudly, then bit Chen Yan's trouser leg and pulled back hard.
This guy was very strong now, and Chen Yan was dragged to the ground without paying attention.
Just when I was about to turn around and scold it, I heard a loud roar and the boulder actually moved.
He looked up and saw what kind of boulder there was. It was clearly a stone man, no, a stone monster.
This guy hasn't even stood up straight yet, he's already nearly five meters tall.
The vines and moss on his body fell down like raindrops, and a strong earthy smell hit his face.
Boom!
The moment the stone monster stood up straight, he hit Chen Yan's head with both fists.
If Chen Xiaoqiang hadn't continued to bite his pants leg and drag him back, Chen Yan would have become a headless ghost.
The stone fist, several times bigger than a millstone, hit the soil just a few centimeters away from his hair, creating a deep pit and knocking a man and a dog away.
Before his butt even hit the ground, Chen Yan's spirit came back, he quickly rolled on the spot, then turned around and ran away.
While running, he scolded Yang Zongyue: "Grandma, you're trying to trick me now, right? Why don't you include it in the guide for such a big stone monster? If Xiaoqiang hadn't been so powerful, I would have died just to show you!"
