C2 The Path of a Hero

Outside the Chang'an City, in the woods.

Most of the sunlight was blocked by the tall and dense trees. Only a few of them passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves and landed on the tall and short shrubs on the ground. Not far away, a cluster of grass was rustling, as if something was hidden inside. It was alarmed by two uninvited guests. A few sparrows flapped their wings and flew away, but soon, the surroundings returned to normal.

Mingsi walked towards a large tree more than ten meters away, and then climbed up quickly. When he slid down, he already had a bow on his back, a crossbow in his hand, and an arrow tube in his hand.

"How many arrows do we have left?" Ziming took the crossbow and asked.

"Let me see. There are five arrows left. They should be enough for today's lunch. " After saying that, he pulled Ziming towards the depths of the forest.

At this moment, in a certain area of the forest, a frightened rabbit was jumping forward with all its might. Just as it was about to dive into a bush, two straight arrows pierced through the air, one in front and one behind.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The two arrows accurately penetrated the rabbit's body. The rabbit struggled a few times before it no longer struggled and fell to the ground.

"Haha, you can do it!" Mingsi clapped and cheered. Obviously, he and Ziming hit the target at the same time.

"It has always been like this, not bad. " Ziming pretended to be mature and could not hold it in for a while. He laughed proudly.

The two of them continued to walk deeper into the forest. After enough time passed for half an incense stick to burn, they once again emerged from the depths of the forest. It was at this point that they only had one arrow left in their hands.

"I told you a few times, don't shoot a wild boar by yourself. Your strength is so small, even I can't shoot it to death" Obviously, from Mingsi's complaints, he could tell that Ziming had given another arrow to the wild boar just now.

"Sigh, tell me why the little wild boar is so durable. If that arrow had hit me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to run. " Ziming said helplessly.

Mingsi twitched his mouth when he heard that and said snappily, "Last time you were bitten by Old Man Zhuang's dog, didn't you run pretty fast too?"

"That's different. If you don't run, you will be bitten to death!"

"Hahaha, then that's it. "

"Do you want to eat bird meat?" Mingsi suddenly changed the topic and pointed to a big tree not far away. There was a bird on it.

The bird's light green feathers looked very soft, and its body was full. Its eyes were watery, and its small head was looking left and right, but it did not seem to notice that there was someone staring at it not far away.

"Green Crying Bird, I heard that it has a lot of meat!" Ziming sighed.

Green Crying was an ordinary type of bird. Its body was more beautiful, and it was loved by hunters. It was also one of the more easily captured birds. Because they did not have thick feathers or spiritual energy, and their defensive abilities were very low, ordinary hunters had the ability to capture them.

Ziming suddenly thought of something. He only had time to say the word "don't" when he heard a whoosh. He turned his head and saw that Mingsi had already shot the arrow.

Mingsi was a quick archer, his reaction speed was fast, and his accuracy was not low either. The arrow that was shot was aimed at the side of the bird. Based on Mingsi's archery skills, this bird could not be shot directly, but had to use a small prediction!

The sound of the air breaking attracted the attention of the bird, and it immediately flapped its wings. It flew up as Mingsi had expected. As expected, it flew straight towards the place where it had been resting. The fast bird would have avoided it long ago. But in the end, the corner of Mingsi's mouth did not even curl up. Because he saw the bird flying high into the sky, and that arrow. . . It was slowly flying in the other direction of the bird.

Obviously, Mingsi had predicted the exact opposite direction.

Mingsi awkwardly smiled at Ziming. Ziming, on the other hand, patted the crossbow towards Mingsi. "You were just talking about me? You were talking about me? You said, you have predicted so many times. When did you hit it?"

" Sigh, I didn't want to either. I'm not a bird, so where does the Anzhi bird fly to? " Mingsi said helplessly.

"We shot five arrows, and we only shot a wild rabbit. " Chen Ziming raised a finger and waved it in front of Mingsi.

"Don't tell anyone. " Mingsi smiled awkwardly.

"Then what should we do? Today's lunch. Chen Ziming was also at his wit's end, but when he thought of today's lunch, he was immediately disappointed.

"A rabbit and we each have at most fifty percent of our fill. Eighty percent would be the best. As for the other thirty percent, why don't we go and eat some fruits?" Mingsi's eyes lit up after he said that.

"The wild fruits in the forest are small and rough. How can we eat them?" Ziming was ready to deny it.

"Did you forget? I heard that the fruits there are big and sweet!" Mingsi closed his eyes and praised. He even blinked his mouth as if he had already eaten the fruit.

"What if he's caught? My father said it's not good to steal things. " Ziming was a little moved and worried.

"No! His gardens. . . So many fruits, so many! It would be a waste not to eat them. My father said that it is shameful to waste them!" Mingsi said righteously, "Furthermore!"

"What is more what?"

" Besides, running is also an ability. You need to practice to run fast. " Mingsi said in a serious manner.

"That's right. . . "

"Then let's go. "

"All right. "

The two of them returned to their original position, put away their bows and arrows, and carried the rabbit out of the forest.

In the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, on the south side of the vast field bordering the Hundred Beasts Forest, there was a wide fruit forest. The owner of this large garden was called Tu Yuan. He was known as Tu Yuan Hero and was a hero who cultivated earth attribute spirit energy.

But for some reason, such an expert actually opened a large fruit forest here. The only thing that outsiders knew was. . . He was all alone, living in seclusion in the mountain forest.

In the blink of an eye, Mingsi and Mingsi had arrived at the outer perimeter of the garden. Looking through the fence, they could see red, orange, and yellow fruits.

"There's a guy named Yu. It's said that the owner of this forest is very powerful, but his nature is extremely cruel. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to come into contact with him. " Mingsi bit a stalk of grass.

"I also heard about this. " Ziming nodded his head.

"His house is right over there. Did you see it? We will do it here. We will not be discovered. Hurry up and pluck it!"

Mingsi spat out the grass in his mouth. "Pick what you like. Don't be greedy!" After saying that, he took the lead and took out the cloth bag he had gotten from somewhere and ran towards a fruit tree.

After half an incense stick of time, the two returned to the place where they first met. They looked at each other and smiled before running away.

"Hey, slow down, your fruit fell!" Ziming shouted.

Not long after they left, a human face slowly appeared in the place where they left. Its face was blurry and its age could not be seen, but it gave off an ancient feeling.

The human face carried a faint smile as it looked in the direction where the two of them left and muttered to itself, "It's the little demon from Yingyuan's family. The other one has also become much stronger. Hehe. . . . . . . ”

After the clay face appeared for a while, it gradually faded away, as if nothing had happened.

There were a few small hills in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, and there were many stone stools and pavilions on the hills. The tallest one was the place that Mingsi and Mingsi often went to.

At this moment, there was no one above the stone stools in the pavilion, and at the top of the pavilion, there were two fellows who were laughing and playing. Not far away, there was a pile of charcoal emitting wisps of gray smoke and a pile of rabbit fur next to it.

At the top of the pavilion, Mingsi spat out a piece of bone and took out a fruit from his bag. He chewed it bit by bit. There was a trace of reminiscence on his face as he crossed his legs and said, "Brother Ziming, do you know that in my hometown, its name is Heroic Spirit Village?"

"You have told me hundreds of times. " Ziming said unhappily.

"There's a mountain by the side of the village. It's called Heroic Spirit Mountain. When I was young, I was like this, playing on the mountain with my brother and the others. " Mingsi's voice became even deeper.

Ziming did not say anything. He just listened quietly.

"At that time, I often saw people stepping on things and flying in the sky. So my dream was to fly. That way, I could often fly to the mountains to play or to fly back home. "

"And now, my dream is still to fly. Because that way, no one will be able to catch me. If you learn to fly, you'll be able to return to the Chivalrous Spirit and fly to your elder brother and mother's side. " At this moment, Mingsi's eyes were moist as he spoke.

When Ziming heard Mingsi's tone becoming so serious, he could not help but become serious. "My dream is. . . Sigh, I really want to have no dream. "

Ziming scratched his head. "But I also want to fly in the sky like a little bird, but my father said that if I want to fly, I need to at least cultivate to the chivalrous realm. "

"Who doesn't want to become a hero these days? But ever since I was young, apart from my father, I've never seen another hero. " Mingsi shook his head and said.

"In another month, it will be the day when the school accepts students. When the time comes, we will have to go there to cultivate, and our path as heroes will also start there!" Chen Ziming rested his head on his hands, his face full of anticipation.

"It's not just the people of Chang'an City. I heard that there are other cities in the Southern County, and people from other villages will also go there to learn. At that time, there will definitely be many interesting people appearing! " Although Mingsi did not know much about these things, he was also full of anticipation.

"When that time comes, don't forget about me when you make new friends, Mingsi. " Ziming joked.

"How could that be? We're still going to be together in the future, and we're going to become great heroes together! "

"Great heroes! Sigh, I wonder what we'll be like in the future. "

"Who knows? It's pretty good now. Look, there's meat and fruits, as well as beautiful scenery. "

The two of them had a good sleep after eating. In the evening, the two of them walked back to the western suburbs of Chang'an under the afterglow of the setting sun.
