Chapter 21 - train

Originally it only took a day's journey to ride a horse, but it took the two of them a day and a night to return to the tribe.

Fatigue was one of the factors that slowed down the trip, but the more important reason was that both of them were carrying a lot of loot on their backs, so that they walked slower and slower.

Walking with heavy objects on your back is extremely exhausting. If there is another monster attack on the way back, then it will be really unfortunate. Fortunately, that didn't happen.

The treasure they brought back from the desert caused a sensation in the tribe, with the staircase handrails decorated with gold, various gold and silver figurines, and even mithril, which has not rusted for countless years. Envy, jealousy, greed, joy, gratification and many other complex colors were projected in the eyes of the elves watching. Chief Abiad was particularly excited. The income from this batch of wealth would greatly increase the strength of the tribe. Even if they faced Tyre's pressure again, their confidence would be greatly increased.

What made the chief even more ecstatic was that, after listening to Fatumai, the two of them only collected the property on the first floor of the ruins, and there are likely to be more treasures left at the bottom of the ruins. Explore inside the ruins.

For three whole days, the tribe was immersed in a carnival atmosphere, and the following elves set up tents around the ruins, cleaning the sand inside day and night. Various ancient relics have been unearthed one after another, such as water cups used by ancient elves, dinner plates, knives and forks, and a small amount of weapons. However, the most found are various statues and shrines of gods.

In ancient Attas, there were still gods, and the elves happened to be a devout race, so countless artworks were based on gods and religions. However, after the battle of purification, the gods stayed away from Arthas. Some legends stated that they were disappointed with Arthas, so they stayed away from her, and some stated that they died in the battle of purification in order to protect their own race. , No one knows what the truth is, and no one cares.

Today's elves have long forgotten the gods who once sheltered them in ancient times. To the craftsmen of the Scorpion tribe, these are just ancient precious metal blocks that do not know their names. As a result, the exquisite statues were sent into the furnace, the beautiful elf girl holding a bow and arrow, the heroic and handsome male elf sword dancer, the kind and kind elf old man, etc. were all melted by high temperature, and then forged and deformed to become A piece of gold or silver ingot.

In addition to the statues, other found antiquities were also divided, and various gold and silver tableware and decorations were equally divided among the elves who excavated the ruins. Those weapons that have not been damaged were distributed to the most powerful warriors in the tribe, Chief Abiad, 'Red Hand' Stitch, Fatuma, Fahad, and Hassan all obtained an ancient elf Mithril Scimitar. Muhadi was not a warrior yet, but a slave, but he also got a hand because of his merit in discovering the ruins. This makes the rest of the tribe very envious. Knowing that Attas is lacking in metal, most people are still using obsidian or bone weapons.

During the three days, Fatuma rarely ran around, but took time to concentrate on teaching Muhadi martial arts. The elf girl was very excited. According to her, the chief was excited. Although she was concerned that Muhadi was a human being, she was trying to persuade him. Adding "that bastard Fahd" didn't know why he was helping, so the chief Finally, he nodded.

Fatuma is used to using a combination of one knife and one dagger, and is good at winning with speed, so the focus of her teaching is also on speed.

Compared with the ancient elves, although today's Athas elves have lost many traditions and cultures, their martial skills have been passed down and strengthened continuously. When Fatuma swung his machete and dagger, like a dancing whirlwind, short assaults, fierce slashes and sinister backstabs swung out of the whirlwind in rhythm.

The girl patiently demonstrated and explained in detail. Muhadi tried hard to remember and then imitated with his heart.

Muhadi had accumulated some fighting experience and skills on the earth, and now he is very handy when he learns the elven martial arts of Arthas. Every move and style, all gestures are decent.

In terms of control over his body, Muhadi feels that he is stronger than when he was on Earth. Even if there are some weird and peculiar moves, after a little study, he can wield them freely. I don't know if this is the effect of crossing, or the result of Lyra's psionic training course.

The young man stood with his legs slightly apart, his knees slightly bent, and he looked like a beast ready to go. Every muscle and every nerve seemed to be full of strength, and the obsidian machete used for training was held in his hand, pointing directly at the elf girl opposite.

"Your stance is too flamboyant!" Fatuma shouted loudly. "This isn't a hand-to-hand fight in a bar, turn your body sideways, one foot in front and one foot behind. Face the enemy sideways, so that his strike area will be smaller!"

Muhadi immediately adjusted after hearing the words, turning his body slightly, his eyes still staring at the other party like a falcon, and he did not relax.

"Very good, I know that I will never let my guard down." The elf girl affirmed, then lowered her body and sprinted at full speed.

According to the standards of the elves, Fatuma is not yet an adult, and his body is small, especially when his body is lowered. Seeing her rushing at full speed from a much lower position than he expected, Mohadi was a little caught off guard. The angle of the opponent's knife was tricky, and it was just in the position where it was difficult for the blade to maintain balance.

Muhadi stepped back half a step, his footing was not stable, and the dagger of the elf girl stabbed out from an incredible angle. Muhadi could not defend, so he had to push another half step, will avoid this fatal blow.

Fatuma gained the upper hand and continued to pursue the attack. His body turned lightly, and the machete slashed with the kinetic energy of turning around. Muhadi's mouth was numb, and before he had time to adjust his posture, he met the blow again.

Scimitar, dagger, scimitar, dagger. The elf girl's offensive was as continuous as a sandstorm and was impeccable. The teenager felt that he was fighting a multi-handed whirlwind, and he was completely overwhelmed. In just three breaths, his machete was knocked flying, and the machete was placed on his neck in the next instant.

"Always face your opponent with your back to the light source!" Fatuma retracted his dagger and returned to the spot, "Let the opponent have to attack against the dazzling light in the desert."

"Remember to keep moving. Not only does it make it harder to hit, but your moving body has a lot of kinetic energy, making your attacks more powerful, which is especially effective against powerful enemies."

Muhadi was eager to learn, and at the same time confirmed with the fighting skills he mastered on earth, and inferred from one another. Soon, he entered the realm of self-absorption. Every move and every move seemed to be broken down, so clear, so thorough, that he seemed to have an illusion that he could use the clues before the opponent's move-shoulder Muscle twitches and eyes wander to predict the opponent's moves. And this kind of prediction is almost guaranteed and never fails.

Fatuma taught patiently, but his heart was churning like waves of sand. This human boy named Muhadi, his martial arts skills were still a little immature and pale at the beginning, but in less than half a day, he became more and more smooth and mature. Move to level things up a bit.

In the beginning, I could almost play my opponent with applause. I don't know when I have to use the experience accumulated in countless life-and-death battles to deal with it. In the end, the elf girl helplessly found that she was actually It takes a little luck to beat the opponent quickly.

Who is this human teenager who was picked up from the desert by himself, and who is full of suspicions all over his body?

"Stop!" Fatuma knocked off Muhadi's machete again, and then stopped the practice.

"This is the training of martial arts. If you use psionic energy, it is meaningless." The girl said to Muhadi.

Only then did Muhadi get out of the trance state and asked in puzzlement, "Psionic energy? I didn't use any psychic energy."

"You are using psychic energy to predict my actions!" the girl said angrily, and then saw Muhadi's expression, "Don't you really know?"

"I really don't know. Tianqin... The psionic master who lives in the Dust Hall didn't give me any psionic use at all. She has been training my mental strength."

"You don't understand anything, Ajibai Muhadi." Fatuma looked at the boy again with the same eyes he looked at a freak, "Psionic energy is not magic, there are systematic spells, spell casting steps and the like. Can it be said? The mind varies from person to person, so the way to use psionic energy varies from person to person. No one can teach you how to use psionic energy 'specifically', you can only 'comprehend' the use of psionic energy and the role of a mentor. It's just a guide."

"Although I don't have any psionic talent, but I have some knowledge in this area. You were obviously using psychic 'battle prediction' just now, so you can predict my attacks and take targeted defenses."

It turned out that Muhadi suddenly realized that, before he knew it, he had already mastered a new psionic energy, and he thought that Tianqin did not intend to teach him at all.

"Don't be too complacent." The girl smiled slyly. "To become a samurai, you must pass the 'biting arrow' ritual. Then we'll see if you can not be embarrassed."
