Chapter Three: Huo Bao (II)
After eating, the mayor called a half-year-old boy, and he smiled and said to Chen Chunzhai: "Master Chen, hehe, I'm a kid...... Come here, salute Master Chen!
The boy was very athletic, and although he did not have the physique of an adult, he felt like a leopard, fierce and fierce. He stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Huo Bao greets Grandpa Chen!"
Chen Chunzhai's face was serious, and he said, "Old Huo, Mayor Huo, what do you mean? Boy, get up!"
The mayor of the town smiled and said, "Master Chen, you promised me last time!" He was actually uneasy in his heart, and said cautiously: "Huo Bao is already twelve years old, hehe, I know...... The children you always bring with you are all children with the potential for spells, I ...... I want Huo Bao to follow. ”
Chen Chunzhai scolded with a smile: "You old fox, you are really calculating. ”
The mayor smiled a little embarrassedly: "Huo Leopard is not young, he is a good hunter, this spring, he hunted a Di Storm Bear, that is a terrible Di Storm Bear, you know...... How fierce the bears are in the spring. ”
Chen Chunzhai asked lightly, "Is it an adult bear?"
The mayor laughed and said, "How can it...... It's a one-year-old Di Storm Bear, alas, Huo Leopard is only twelve years old, and it is amazing to be able to kill Di Storm Bear. ”
Chen Chunzhai said: "It's not easy, um, twelve, do you want him to follow?"
The mayor of the town suddenly became nervous, and for the master of his followers, even Chen Chunzhai couldn't decide. Guo Twelve smiled and asked, "Grandpa Chen, what is following?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "Twelve, you have the potential for spells, it is no problem to advance spells, every spell has followers, and the same is true for runes and spells, you must know that although the spell is powerful, but in the wild, there must be a rune warrior in front, and every spell warrior needs the assistance of the rune warrior." ”
"Mayor Huo means that his son Huo Bao will become your follower, and let him protect your safety in the future, as well as collect materials and all kinds of miscellaneous things, all of which are the obligations of Fu Wu. ”
Guo Twelve pondered for a moment and said, "If there is an obligation, there is power, what do I need to give?"
Mayor Huo couldn't help but widen his eyes, it was the first time he had seen such a child who was as clear and calm as an adult, and the only thought in his mind was: This child has a bright future.
Chen Chunzhai's eyes flashed with appreciation again, and he said: "Of course, his food, housing and transportation in the future will all depend on you, especially the most important body refining talisman of the Fu warrior, all of which you have to make, and his strength will be improved, it depends on you!"
Guo Twelve asked, "What is a body refining talisman?"
Chen Chunzhai said with a smile: "It is commonly known as a tattoo talisman." ”
Guo Twelve remembered the pattern on Uncle Pu Er's body, it turned out that it was not a pattern, but a charm. "Those tattoos," he said, "...... Will I be able to learn it later?"
Chen Chunzhai nodded and said, "The place I take you to is the place that can make you a charmer." ”
Guo Twelve said very simply: "Okay! I need to inspect for a year, and if I can get along, I will accept him." He didn't believe that it was obvious at first sight, Huo Bao followed him, it was not temporary, it was a lifelong thing, if his temper and personality were incompatible, it would be uncomfortable.
Mayor Huo smiled with joy, he didn't care about the one-year investigation. Very few spellcasters will temporarily accept a follower, and all the runic warriors who are most suitable for the spell warriors are generally cultivated from a young age, and most of them are cultivated by the spell warriors themselves. The relationship between the two is not the relationship between employment and employment, once the two are compatible, it is a relationship that is closer than brothers.
Chen Chunzhai said: "Congratulations to Lao Huo, you guy...... This time it was really lucky! Do you remember the kid I took with me last time? Twelve is a hundred times stronger than him!"
Mayor Huo was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Master Chen, really, haha, good!"
Huo Bao's attention was all on Guo Twelve. The child in front of him was half a head shorter than himself, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, not murderous at all, Si Swenwen, and a harmless appearance. But when his gaze swept over, Huo Bao suddenly felt his heart beat faster, a little creepy, just like when he met that Di Storm bear in the spring.
Guo Twelve was also observing Huo Bao. The child was in excellent shape, with a shaved head, very light eyebrows, barely visible, small eyes, and a penchant for squinting. His head is more distinctive, almost triangular, with a pointed skull, a wide nose, a large chin, and a thick neck. If it was an ordinary child, he might not like his appearance, but Guo Twelve knew that this child was born a warrior.
Both of them were satisfied, although it was not Wang Ba who looked at the mung beans - they looked at each other, but both of them recognized each other.
Guo Twelve stood up and said, "My name is Guo Twelve, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Huo Bao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Huo Bao, nicknamed Leopard, I hope we get along happily, hehe." The way he laughed diluted the fierce breath and revealed a sunny smell.
Mayor Huo laughed and said, "Little leopard, go and prepare your luggage, and follow Twelve tomorrow, remember, twelve is young, you have to protect him!"
......
Early in the morning, everyone got on a dog sled. The dogs here are very strong, have long hair on their bodies, and run like a fluttering cloud. This dog is a local specialty, the snow dog.
A dog sled, which can seat eight people, is pulled by twenty-one snow dogs.
Guo Twelve sat on one of the sleds. On this sleigh sat a dog master, three Fu warriors, Chen Chunzhai, Guo Twelve and Huo Bao, and Aunt Lan, who was in charge of Guo Twelve's life.
There were more than 200 people in their group, plus luggage and supplies, a total of more than 40 sleds, and there was a long queue.
Guo Twelve asked, "Grandpa Chen, where are we going?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "Enter the mountain!"
Guo Twelve couldn't help it, and he didn't know if Chen Chunzhai was deliberately teasing himself, this guy just didn't say anything. He rolled his eyes, gently touched Huo Leopard with his arm, and whispered, "Leopard, where are we going...... You know what?"
Huo Baoqi said: "You don't know?"
Guo Twelve said angrily: "If I knew, I would still ask you!"
Huo Bao held up the big fur hat on his head and said, "Let's go...... North Fu Gate. ”
"North Rune Gate?"
Chen Chunzhai glanced at Guo Twelve with a smile and said: "Beifumen, originally called the Beifu Alliance, and later established a major sect, now it is called Beifumen, you will be a disciple of Beifumen in the future, and you must be a disciple of the inner sect." ”
Guo Twelve asked curiously, "What is the relationship between the Guo family and the North Fu Sect?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "The Guo family is one of the peripheral families that are attached to the North Fu Gate. ”
Guo Twelve gasped and said in surprise: "It's just the outer family?"
Chen Chunzhai nodded and said, "The Guo family, among the peripheral families, can only be regarded as a second-rate family. ”
Guo Twelve shook his head in disbelief, how powerful is this Northern Fu Sect? Isn't it even more powerful than a country. He asked, "Why is the North Rune Gate located in the mountains, and is it not good on the plains?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "There is no way to do the North Fu Gate is located in the mountainous area, because there is only the North Fu Gate...... In order to block the invasion of wild beasts and savages in the far north, the North Rune Gate must be guarded in this mountainous area. ”
The speed of the sleigh was very fast, and it was moving quickly along the snow track, and the cold wind blowing in his face was extremely hard, even with a thick leather robe, Guo Twelve couldn't help but shiver. Aunt Lan said, "Twelve is still not used to it. She hugged Guo Twelve in her arms, picked up another leather robe to block it outside, and said, "This way it won't be cold." ”
Guo Twelve twisted his body in embarrassment, no one cared about him so much in his previous life, so he was a little uncomfortable. But Aunt Lan's actions made him feel warm for the first time.
The leather robe that Huo Bao wore was not very thick, far worse than Guo Twelve's, but he didn't care at all, completely ignoring the cold wind blowing, he had long been used to the cold.
Guo Twelve finally poked his head out of Aunt Lan's arms and asked, "How many days will you have to walk on the road?"
Huo Bao couldn't help laughing when he saw Guo Twelve's head poking out, and Chen Chunzhai couldn't help but smile when he looked back.
Guo Tshi's image was completely ruined, he was like a match head poking out of a cotton ball, and Aunt Lan was afraid that he would be cold, so she put a leather robe on top of him.
Guo Twelve lamented in his heart, he really didn't like that he was still a child. In the previous life, he woke up when he was seventeen years old, so he didn't feel like a child.
Chen Chunzhai couldn't help laughing and said: "It takes seven or eight days to walk on the road, and the road in the mountains is very difficult to walk, so you can sit on the sleigh with peace of mind and don't have to worry about it." ”
Guo Twelve simply retracted his head into the leather robe, making Huo Bao laugh non-stop. He didn't laugh at it, but he thought it was funny.
Chen Chunzhai said: "Leopard, twelve is only eight years old, the first time he comes to the cold mountains, there is nothing funny. ”
Huo Bao hurriedly stopped laughing, but his face was flushed.
There are many settlements along the way, which are also the supply stations of the North Fumen, and those who enter the mountains must rest here. Due to the large size of the sled team, no wild beast dared to provoke them, and the journey was relatively smooth.
With a day to go, they finally came across the herd as they reached the last supply station. It was a pack of blood ice wolves. The sled team formed a circular defensive formation at the first time, and all the snow dogs were unveiled and asked to protect the people on the sled.
Chen Chunzhai commanded Ruoding, and he asked, "Has the distress signal been issued?"
One of the Fu warriors said, "The Fu letter has been sent!"
Chen Chunzhai said: "Okay, Changfeng, you are responsible for the safety of the children, I will lead people to slaughter this group of blood ice wolves!" His words revealed strong confidence.
Fourteen children, including Guo Twelve, were placed on the innermost level, and next to them were another twenty-six children, and a group of snow dogs were tightly surrounded by the children under the control of the dog drivers. Then there are the sleds, which are erected sideways to form a small fence. Standing on the outermost side were the Fu warriors, who were directly facing the Blood Ice Wolf.
Guo Twelve said, "Aunt Lan, hold me." "He was wearing too much, it was inconvenient to move, and he tried to stand on his luggage. Aunt Lan held him up and said, "Be careful of falling!" After getting along for this time, Guo Twelve has become very close to her. Whether it is good or bad for himself, Guo Twelve can tell very clearly, knowing that Aunt Lan is really good to him.
"I can finally see clearly!"
Standing on the luggage, Guo Twelve was a head taller than Aunt Lan, and of course he could see the surrounding situation clearly.
Blood Ice Wolves generally form a group of 100 horses, but the Blood Ice Wolves in front of them are a large group, with more than 400 horses, and they are commanded by the Wolf King.
Huo Bao held a steel knife in his hand, standing beside Guo Twelve, his task was to protect Guo Twelve, and said: "This group of blood ice wolves is not ordinary, it is rare to see so many blood ice wolves gathered together in the mountains, there must be a wolf king inside." ”
The appearance of the Blood Ice Wolf is similar to that of a normal wolf, but it is larger. Guo Twelve had seen it in the beast test and knew that this kind of wolf was not very powerful, but it was a headache to be in a pack.
He felt very lucky to be able to see the battle between the Fu warriors and the spell masters before arriving at the North Rune Gate, and it was a great opportunity for him to learn about this world.
The Fu warriors stood loosely, some with blades and others with their bare hands. Chen Chunzhai's voice sounded: "Ready! The Blood Ice Wolf is about to attack! The Blood Ice Wolf's skin is not bad, after this battle, leave me a few good skins! Kill the fucking wolf!"
The Fu warriors burst into laughter and said in unison, "Fuck me...... Wolves!"
Even Guo Twelve and Huo Bao listened to it with enthusiasm.
