Chapter 73 The calm before the storm
Mao Hu saw the fear in Li Ang's heart.
"It's a pity that although I want to tell you that this is false, the reality cannot be changed."
Canghu sighed softly and continued: "I understand your mood. I still remember that when I converted to Veda and was promoted to the head of Modor, I was qualified to enter the Veda Hanhai Academy to read the classics. When I saw the article about hell
At the time of recording, even though my martial arts were already superb and I claimed to have an unswerving Vedic heart, in fact, my heart was the same as yours.
Every night, I would be awakened by the terror described in the texts in the classics. I always felt that something was watching in the darkness, ready to move.
This kind of life makes me terrified and sleepless at night. Nightmares torture me all day long, making me dream that the world has turned into purgatory, and that human beings have become food for the devil, and have no choice but to huddle in the mountains, forests, and wilderness, living a life of eating raw hair and drinking blood.
So, in order to face the fear in my heart, I chose to sacrifice my eyes in exchange for the ability to hunt dark creatures.
It's not because I am so great that I want to protect the entire human world.
It’s just to fight my own inner demons and give myself peace of mind.”
Mao Hu unabashedly revealed his fragile heart.
This is in sharp contrast to his tolerance, tolerance, kindness and bottomless strength.
Li Ang's mouth opened slightly, and after a moment he murmured: "I thought that only a small person like me would have this kind of worry about not being able to control my own destiny. I didn't expect that even you, old man, would think so..."
The old man looked far into the distance, watching the sun's brilliance gradually grow, and he also sighed: "Everyone always thinks that if you stand high, you don't have to worry about the danger under your feet. But they have never forgotten that standing high can also see more clearly.
Enemies who are farther away can see the hopeless future more clearly."
"Old man, have you seen the demons in hell?" Li Ang couldn't help but ask.
Mao Hu shook his head: "I have seen a lot of dark creatures, but I have never seen a hell demon. However, when I traveled, I encountered many incredible things, all of which prove that the harbinger of the hell demon's arrival is approaching.
It’s close at hand.”
But Mao Hu changed his tone to a relaxed tone and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of! If the devil from hell really comes, it won't be your turn even if we tall guys are there to support you."
Li Ang: Although your tone of voice is very heroic, you are really embarrassed at 1.5 meters tall!
Li Ang exhaled a breath and threw these worries behind his mind.
Indeed, his current problem was not some unfounded demon from hell.
Even if it does occur, it is still a problem that Veda and the Holy Cross Royal Court need to worry about.
What he needs to pay attention to is Earl Monroe of Rostim City.
Li Ang needs to get the backup data brought back by Captain Ander to reveal the mystery of his body structure so that he can better evolve and add points in the future.
Hiccup~
Pompeii and Alice were full. One sat on the polished stone and the other leaned under the tree, both with bulging bellies.
Mao Hu stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and approached Alice with a smile: "Girl, let me teach you how to control your best friend."
Mao Hu had no airs in front of Alice. He found a few stones, sat cross-legged on the ground and started teaching.
Unlike Li Ang's meticulous meditation, Mao Hu actually played marbles with Alice.
After a while, the cheerful and innocent laughter of an old man and a young man floated in the mountains.
"Yes, that's it. Don't shake your hands, take a deep breath, and focus on the pebbles. Just think about the target in front of you and don't think about anything else..."
Seeing the old man's persuasive approach, Li Ang finally understood what he was thinking, which was to exercise Alice's concentration and control.
It taught him directly, guided Pompeii, and taught children with fun.
He teaches without discrimination and has no prejudice in his heart. He is truly a master of his generation.
Li Ang was not idle either. He learned the four moves of the monk's martial arts. It was time to strengthen and consolidate them now.
As for Pompeii, eating and drinking enough, lying lazily on the ground, feeling the cool mountain breeze, without worrying about life, is the highest enjoyment imaginable.
Days like this were something I never dreamed of when I was in the research institute.
With a big boss like Mao Hu by their side, who has solved the cause of Alice's black tide of demonic energy, Leon and Pompeii no longer have any grudges, and don't have to worry about anyone harming them in this situation, and can put down all their guard.
The old man even built a swing for Alice.
Alice, who was resurrected from the research institute, had never played with such fun things. There was a strange and cheerful smile on her lifeless gray cheeks.
The old man was neither impatient nor impatient, and Alice also called her grandpa.
In just one morning, Mao Hu was promoted to one of Alice's most important relatives.
Alice pinched two fingers and gestured: "Grandpa, if you add more oil, you are now only a little less important in my heart than Uncle Pompeii..."
"Hahaha! Really? Just one less? Then I have to work hard. You go to sleep first, and I will take you to catch grasshoppers in the afternoon."
After Li Ang raised the proficiency of all four monk skills to 10/100, he went to the cave to get an ax and a one-handed sword, cut out an ax handle, and cut down several trees one after another, creating a tree outside the cave.
Build a fence.
From the leftover scraps, I made a few more sets of bowls, chopsticks, tables and stools.
Pompeii was not idle either. He collected some shrubs, fallen leaves, and dead grass nearby, took them back and spread them in the cave.
The ground that was originally hard is now soft, dry and very comfortable.
Just one morning, the cold cave suddenly became warm and felt like home.
Li Ang stood on the cliff and looked at Xiyuan Town in the distance.
The warm time is always so short, and my thoughts are quickly drawn back to reality.
Ender drove away from the institute before and returned to the institute two days later.
It has been more than a day since the Elementalist and his team parted ways in the Gobi. It stands to reason that another team of soldiers has returned to Rostim City and reported the news that Li Ang survived and that the Elementalist led the team to Xiyuan Town to investigate.
As expected, reinforcements from Rostim City will arrive in Xiyuan Town tonight or tomorrow.
Although Xiyuan Town has erased all traces of the battle between Li Ang and the Elementalist, how can decades of investment research be completely wiped out because of an accident.
Li Ang was brought into the perspective of Monro III, and he couldn't stand the destruction of his hope of pursuing eternal life.
In Li Ang's view, Monroe III made two decisions.
One is to conduct a thorough investigation of Xiyuan Town;
The second is to send manpower to conduct a blanket search to arrest Li Ang.
No matter which one it is, it means that for Li Ang, there will be a tough battle to fight next.
Mao Hu approached quietly, put his hands behind his back, and stood next to Li Ang: "Your eyes have been stuck on that small town. Why, are you worried?"
