Chapter 2: Lord of the Abyss
It was another early morning, and the loud voice of Rock Wildhammer rang out in the silent village on time.
"Aman, wake up!"
"knew."
Zhang Debiao responded, washed up briefly, opened the door, stood in front of the door and stretched.
The rock wild hammer appeared behind him like a ghost, and kicked him out of habit. Unexpectedly, Zhang Debiao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and lightly dodged to the left. The kick that he usually hit unexpectedly missed!
Rock Wildhammer was slightly startled, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and nodded: "This time the reaction was not bad."
Zhang Debiao scratched his head and chuckled.
A few days ago, he finally decided to use the barbaric energy according to the knowledge about the meridians in the dream, and successfully opened a meridian, the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian. After opening up this Dou Qi channel, Zhang Debiao guided the barbaric energy for every week, and he could feel the barbaric energy in his body getting stronger.
Moreover, as the number of barbaric Jin runs increased, he could clearly feel that his physical fitness was improving rapidly, and his body's reaction speed was getting faster and faster.
Normally, he couldn't dodge his father's kick and couldn't even detect it, but now he could clearly hear the wind and dodge easily.
"It seems that the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians can indeed be used as fighting qi channels without any side effects. Could it be that the wizard really told me that he was right? During my serious illness, I was favored by the goddess of life, and my soul went to another place. A world?"
Zhang Manzi looked extremely pious and an incomparable sage at this moment.
"Praise the Goddess of Life!"
"Huh? Brother I seems to have struck a little faster and a little harder than usual today!"
In the square, several adult barbarian warriors finished training their children and stood aside to watch the battle between Rock Wildhammer and Zhang Debiao. After watching for a moment, a barbarian warrior finally noticed the clue and couldn't help but said: "What's even more rare is that Ahman actually persisted in his hands for such a long time!"
Another barbarian warrior also noticed this, with a solemn look on his face: "Ayi, when you become a first-level barbarian warrior, how long can you sustain an attack as strong as Big Brother I's?"
Ayi thought for a while and said: "It should be able to last for more than an hour." He suddenly woke up and showed an unbelievable look: "Could it be that Aman's innate skills have been awakened and he is a first-level barbarian warrior?"
The barbarian warrior nodded and said, "That must be the case, otherwise my eldest brother would not intensify his training. Hehe, he awakened his innate skills at the age of six and became a barbarian warrior. It seems that our Wildhammer Village will have another genius!"
The next morning, Rock Wildhammer woke up Zhang Debiao as usual. When he saw Little Manzi stretching in front of the door, he kicked him again. However, Zhang Debiao failed to dodge this time and was kicked firmly on the butt. He flew up with a roar and the word "big" was stuck on the opposite wall.
Rock Wildhammer shrugged his shoulders and walked to the square as if nothing happened. He muttered in a low voice: "I didn't hit the kick yesterday. I was feeling uncomfortable all day. I finally feel good today..."
Zhang Debiao followed his father dejectedly, feeling annoyed in his heart. He heard the sound of his father's kick, and his body wanted to dodge, but the speed of the Rock Hammer's kick was too fast, giving him no chance to react.
From then on, the father and son seemed to be in love. After Zhang Debiao's training every day, he devoted himself to crazy practice. On the one hand, he attacked the meridians and turned them into Dou Qi channels. On the other hand, he warmed up the barbaric energy in the Dou Qi channels and strengthened himself.
There was a secret competition between the father and son. If Rock Wildhammer failed to kick Zhang Debiao's ass on the first day, he would surely hit it on the second day, but on the third day, he would definitely miss it.
Zhang Debiao's strength improved rapidly in this disguised competition, and other barbarian warriors in the village gradually discovered that during early morning training, the speed of the rock barbarian hammer was always getting faster and faster day by day, and the stick in his hand was getting heavier day by day.
What surprised them even more was that Zhang Debiao managed to hold on time and time again. Although he was always exhausted after each training session, this terrifying rate of progress was enough to shock everyone beyond measure!
Winter turned to spring, and two years passed in a flash. The morning in Wildhammer Village remained unchanged. The only difference was that the young people in the past had grown a lot taller. After the early morning training, people did not disperse, but gathered together in twos and threes, nervously watching the battle in the field.
There is only one thing that worries them so much, and that is: "How long can that boy Aman last this time?"
In the center of the square, two figures came and went like lightning. The iron birch sticks made sharp whistling sounds in their hands. Every time they collided, the sound was even louder, like two big iron hammers hitting each other hard, terrifying. pole!
"It's really amazing! Brother I has used the strength of a third-level barbarian warrior, right?" Dihu Manhammer said in surprise: "The strength of a third-level barbarian warrior is almost equal to mine!"
"It's not the strength of a level three barbarian warrior." Cripple Lang Tu appeared at the edge of the square at some unknown time and sneered: "It's the level four! Only by using the strength of a level four barbarian warrior can that bastard Shi Yan suppress Ah. Pretty awesome!”
The villagers couldn't help but be horrified. Although the lame man was mean-mouthed, this guy was the most knowledgeable person in Wildhammer Village and had a ruthless vision. If he said it was level four, he would be right.
Ayi murmured: "Aman is only eight years old, and he is close to the strength of a fourth-level barbarian warrior. God, this guy's qualifications are too good..."
The villagers all agreed and nodded. The lame man sneered, "A bunch of frogs in the well! You only envy Ah Man's talent, but you don't see his efforts! This little guy is practicing like he's dying. You lazy bugs, who had this energy back then?"
The villagers glared at the lame man. Although the old guy said it well, his tone was really asking for a beating!
The two people's fights in the field became more and more frequent, and everyone's eyes lit up. Di Hu laughed and said, "Ah Man will be beaten down by Brother Yi Shi again this time!"
Before he finished speaking, two roars suddenly came from the field!
"Barbaric force!"
"Barbaric explosion!"
There was a loud bang, and dust and smoke rose in the center of the square. A smaller figure was blown away by the huge force, and turned over in the air nimbly, landing steadily, with his legs firmly nailed to the stone slab, as straight as a gun. The hard stone slabs in the square were actually cracked by the boy's steps, like two spider webs, which shows how amazing the impact force was when he fell!
This boy is Zhang Debiao. Although he is only eight years old, two years of training has made him as tall as a boy of twelve or thirteen. His slightly immature face shows a bit of bravery. After a fierce battle, his chest was heaving violently, and his bronze skin was covered with sweat.
"My father's strength is too strong. I opened up six of the twelve meridians, which are symmetrical on the left and right. There are twelve channels of fighting spirit in total, but I can't force him to use his full strength!"
In the center of the square, the rock hammer slowly walked out of the dust. This rock-like man actually smiled rarely on his face: "Aman, you can take on my attack of 20% of my strength, and you didn't fall down. It seems that you have become a qualified barbarian warrior. Tomorrow, you can go hunting with us."
Zhang Debiao was happy. He had wanted to go out of the village for a long time, but there were monsters everywhere in the Sunset Forest. There was often a group of demon wolves wandering outside the village, waiting for an opportunity to take away livestock and children, and even attacking the village during droughts. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the tribe that minors are strictly prohibited from leaving the village, and only those who become barbarian warriors are allowed to go out of the village to hunt.
Rock Man Hammer tightened his face again and snorted: "Don't be complacent, your current strength is the last in the village, and you are still far from it. You have to continue training in the future!"
Hearing this, the villagers were very depressed. Di Hu Man Hammer touched his beard and murmured: "I don't know where I rank last in the heart of the eldest brother in the life..."
The cripple sneered: "A Man is the last, of course you are even less ranked!"
Di Hu was furious: "Don't stop me, I must kill this dead cripple!" Everyone hurriedly moved away from him, and Di Hu was dumbfounded: "Damn it, why don't you stop me?"
Everyone rolled their eyes together, and Ai smiled and said: "Didn't you tell us not to stop you?"
Di Hu was even more depressed. Although Langtu was lame in one leg, his strength was still the second in the village. Rock Man Hammer once said bluntly: "If Langtu was not lame, I might not be his opponent." This shows the strength of this cripple.
After several hunts with Rock Hammer, Zhang Debiao soon became the youngest hunter in Hammer Village and could own his own iron spear and short knife. The long spear is used for medium-range attacks, while the short knife is used to guard against close-range monsters.
During the hunt, Zhang Debiao discovered that the father-son training of the people in Southern Xinjiang every morning was not actually about stick techniques, but a simple spear technique, which was simple and fierce. In hunting activities, this spear technique was fully utilized, and it was almost a fatal shot against low-level monsters!
However, Zhang Debiao did not gain much when he hunted alone for the first time. He only picked up a little black dog from outside and took it home. For this, he was ridiculed by the uncles in the village for a long time. At that time, he came to Nolton Mountain, 20 miles away, to hunt alone and found a group of magic wolves surrounding a palm-sized black dog, staring at it, ready to tear the little thing apart at any time.
The little black dog was in a group of wolves and trembled with fear. When he saw Zhang Debiao coming, he stared with his black eyes, wagged his tail and begged.
Zhang Debiao was so kind that he tried to drive away the wolves, but the little black dog seemed to have identified him and refused to leave. He followed him closely. Zhang Debiao had no choice but to take it back to the Manchu Village.
Shortly after he adopted the little black dog, a riot broke out on the edge of the Sunset Forest, and a human city was massacred. According to the merchants who traveled to the barbarian villages to do business, the culprit of the tragedy was a powerful monster from the Abyss Demon Realm, the three-headed hellhound.
The three-headed hellhound is a legendary monster at the level of the Abyss Lord. Even a proud dragon has to bow its head and take a detour in front of such a powerful existence. Fortunately, the hellhound likes to settle in the Abyss Demon Realm and does not often come to the human world for tourism.
And this female hellhound rushed out of the abyss for some reason and wandered around the edge of the Sunset Forest, as if looking for something. A group of hot-headed mercenaries actually attacked it, trying to gain more glory than the dragon-slaying hero, which finally angered the Abyss Lord. After killing all these fools, he razed Litan City to the ground. Finally, under the desperate attack of two sword masters, three holy magicians and a red cardinal, the three-headed hellhound had to stop its plan to destroy human cities and retreat back to the Abyss Demon Realm.
After that, the investigation committee studying the tragedy, based on the three-headed hellhound's performance, unanimously believed that the Abyss Lord might be a mother, and the cub was lost for some reason, and the place where it was lost was likely near the Sunset Forest, so it ran out of the abyss desperately to find its child, which led to a conflict with humans.
"Could it be that my little black is the cub of the three-headed hellhound?"
Zhang Debiao immediately denied this idea.
As the name suggests, the three-headed hellhound has three heads, which symbolize cruelty, killing and loyalty respectively, while little black has only one head, which is obviously very different from the hellhound.
The Rock Hammer also became interested in little black and said, "Male or female?"
Little black seemed to understand what he said, and shyly clamped his two hind legs. The Rock Hammer fiddled with it twice, and the puppy immediately became furious, opened its mouth and bit his finger, and refused to let go.
The Rock Hammer shook it twice, but the little thing was still hanging on his finger.
The first warrior of the Mengzhuan tribe said expressionlessly, "It's a male, with a wide and large muzzle and sharp teeth. It should be a hybrid of a wolf and a dog. Keep it. When it grows up, it might be a good helper for hunting."
