After the meal, the mayor called a teenager over. He smiled at Chen Chunzhai and said, "Master Chen, hehe, this kid … Come here and pay his respects to Master Chen! Kowtow! "
The teenager was very strong. Although he didn't have the physique of an adult, he gave people the feeling of a leopard, capable and fierce. He stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "Huo Bao pays his respects to Grandpa Chen!"
Chen Chunzhai said with a serious face, "Old Huo, Mayor Huo, what do you mean? Get up, kid! "
The mayor smiled and said, "Master Chen, you promised me last time!" He was actually nervous and said carefully, "Huo Bao is already Shier years old. Hehe, I know … the children you always bring around are all children with the potential to become a charm master. I … I want Huo Bao to follow me."
Chen Chunzhai laughed and scolded, "You old fox, you are really good at scheming."
The mayor smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Huo Bao is not young anymore. He is good at hunting. This spring, he hunted a teddy bear. It was a terrifying teddy bear. You know … how fierce a teddy bear is in spring."
Chen Chunzhai asked lightly, "Is it an adult bear?"
The mayor smiled and said, "Of course not … It is a teddy bear. Sigh, Huo Bao is only Shier years old. It is amazing that he could kill a teddy bear."
Chen Chunzhai said, "It is indeed not easy. Well, Shier, do you want him to follow you?"
The mayor suddenly became nervous. Even Chen Chunzhai couldn't decide the master of a follower. Guo Shier asked with a smile, "Grandpa Chen, what is a follower?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "Twelfth, you have the potential to become a Rune Warrior. Every Rune Warrior has a follower, the same goes for Rune Warriors and Rune Warriors. You should know that although Rune Warriors are powerful, but in the wild, they also need a Rune Warrior to block them. Every Rune Warrior needs the help of a Rune Warrior."
"Mayor Huo's intention is to let his son, Huo Bao, become your follower. In the future, let him protect your safety, collect materials, and do all sorts of chores. These are the duties of a Talisman Warrior."
Guo Shier thought for a moment and said, "Duty means power. What do I need to pay?"
Mayor Huo couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was the first time he saw such a clear and calm child. The only thought in his mind was that this child had a bright future.
Chen Chunzhai's eyes flashed with admiration again. "Of course, his food and shelter will all depend on you. Especially the most important Body Refining Talisman. Talisman Huo Bao needs you to make them. His strength will depend on you!"
Guo Shier asked, "What is a Body Refining Talisman?"
Chen Chunzhai smiled and said, "It is commonly known as a tattoo talisman."
Guo Shier thought of the patterns on Uncle Pu Er's body. It was not a pattern but a talisman. He said, "Those tattoo talismans … can I learn them in the future?"
Chen Chunzhai nodded and said, "The place I will take you to is where you can become a charm warrior."
Guo Shier said straightforwardly, "Okay! I need to observe him for a year. If we get along, I will take him in. " He didn't believe that they would hit it off at first sight. Huo Bao following him was not temporary. It was a lifelong thing. If their tempers and personalities didn't match, it would be terrible.
Mayor Huo beamed with joy. He didn't care about a year of observation. Very few charm warriors would take in a follower on a whim. Charm warriors who were compatible with charm warriors were usually groomed from a young age, and most of them were groomed by the charm warriors themselves. The relationship between the two wasn't that of an employer and an employee. Once the two were compatible, they would be even closer than blood brothers.
Chen Chunzhai said, "Congratulations, Old Huo. You are in luck this time! Do you still remember the kid I taught last time? Shier is a hundred times better than him! "
Mayor Huo was overjoyed. "Master Chen, really? Haha, good! Good! "
Huo Bao's attention was completely focused on Guo Shier. The kid in front of him was half a head shorter than him. He had delicate features and didn't have a hint of murderous intent. He looked gentle and harmless. But when the kid's eyes landed on him, Huo Bao suddenly felt his heart beat faster and his hair stand on end. It was the same feeling he had when he saw the teddy bear in spring.
Guo Shier was also observing Huo Bao. The kid had an excellent figure. His head was shaved bald and his eyebrows were very light. His eyes weren't big and liked to squint. His head was rather unique. It was almost triangular, with a pointed skull, a wide nose, a big chin, and a thick neck. He looked strong and had a fierce aura. An ordinary kid might not like his looks, but Guo Shier knew that this kid was born to be a warrior.
Both of them were satisfied. Although it wasn't like a tortoise looking at a mung bean, they both acknowledged each other.
Guo Shier stood up and said, "My name is Guo Shier. Nice to meet you."
Huo Bao was taken aback. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Huo Bao, my nickname is Leopard. I hope we can get along well. Haha." His smile diluted the fierce aura and revealed a sense of sunshine.
Mayor Huo laughed and said, "Shier, go pack your luggage. Tomorrow you will go with Shier. Remember, Shier is still young. You must protect him!"
…
In the early morning, everyone sat on the dog sled. The dogs here were very strong. They had very long fur and looked like a floating cloud when they ran. These dogs were the local specialty — snow dogs.
A dog sled could carry eight people and was pulled by twenty-one snow dogs.
Guo Shi 'er was sitting on one of the sleighs. On this sled sat a dog handler, three Talisman Warriors, Chen Chunzhai, Guo Shier, Huo Bao, and Aunt Lan who was in charge of Guo Shier's daily life.
There were more than two hundred of them. Adding on the luggage and supplies, there were more than forty sled. They formed a very long queue.
Guo Shier asked, "Grandpa Chen, where are we going?"
Chen Chunzhai said, "To the mountain!"
Guo Shier didn't know what to do. He didn't know if Chen Chunzhai was purposely teasing him. This guy just didn't say anything. His eyes turned and he lightly nudged Huo Bao. He said in a small voice, "Leopard, where are we going … do you know?"
Huo Bao asked curiously, "You don't know?"
Guo Shier said in exasperation, "If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you!"
Huo Bao adjusted the large leather hat on his head and said, "We are going … to the North Fu Men."
"North Fu Men?"
Chen Chunzhai glanced at Guo Shier with a faint smile and said, "The North Fu Men used to be called the Northern Talisman Alliance. They later formed a large sect and are now called the North Fu Men. In the future, you will be a disciple of the North Fu Men, and you will definitely be a direct disciple of the inner sect."
Guo Shier asked curiously, "What is the relationship between the Guo Family and the North Fu Men?"
Chen Chunzhai said, "The Guo Family is one of the peripheral families that depend on the North Fu Men."
Guo Shier sucked in a cold breath and said in shock, "Only a peripheral family?"
Chen Chunzhai nodded and said, "Among the peripheral families, the Guo Family can only be considered a second-rate family."
Guo Shier shook his head in disbelief. How powerful were the North Fu Men? Wouldn't they be more powerful than a country? He asked again, "Why are the North Fu Men located in the mountains? Isn't it better to be on the plains? "
Chen Chunzhai said, "It can't be helped that the Northern Talisman Sect is located in the mountainous area, because only the Northern Talisman Sect … can resist the invasion of the wild beasts and savages from the extreme north. Therefore, the Northern Talisman Sect must guard this mountainous area.
The sleigh moved very fast along the snow path. The cold wind blowing against their faces was extremely hard. Even with the thick leather robe, Guo Shier couldn't help but shiver. Aunt Lan said, "Shier is still not used to it." She hugged Guo Shier in her arms and took another leather robe to cover him. She said, "This way, it won't be cold."
Guo Shier awkwardly twisted his body. In his previous life, no one had cared for him like this, so he felt a little uncomfortable. But Aunt Lan's actions made him feel warmth for the first time.
The leather robe that Huo Bao wore wasn't very thick, and it was much worse than what Guo Shier wore. But he didn't care at all, completely ignoring the cold wind blowing against him. He had long been used to the cold.
Guo Shier finally poked his head out of Aunt Lan's arms and asked, "How many days are we going to walk?"
When Huo Bao saw Guo Shier poking his head out, he couldn't help but laugh. Chen Chunzhai looked back and couldn't help but smile.
Guo Shier's image was completely ruined. He was like a matchstick sticking out of a cotton ball. Because Aunt Lan was afraid that he would catch a cold, she covered him with layers of leather robes.
Guo Shier sighed in his heart. He really didn't like that he was still a child. In his previous life, he had awakened at the age of seventeen, so he didn't feel like a child.
Chen Chunzhai held back his laughter and said, "The journey will take seven or eight days. The mountain road is very difficult to walk on. You can sit on the sleigh and don't worry."
Guo Shier simply hid his head in the leather robe, which made Huo Bao laugh non-stop. He wasn't mocking him, but he thought it was very funny.
Chen Chunzhai said, "Bao Zi, Shier is only eight years old. It's his first time in the cold mountains. There's nothing funny about it."
Huo Bao hurriedly stopped laughing, but his face was completely red.
There were many residential areas along the way, which were also supply stations for the North Fu Men. Those who entered the mountains had to rest here. Because of the large size of the sled team, no wild animals dared to provoke them. The journey was quite smooth.
There was still one day left. When they were about to reach the last supply station, they finally encountered a herd of animals. It was a pack of Blood Ice Wolves. The sled team immediately formed a circular defensive formation. All the snow dogs were untied and made to protect the people on the sleigh.
Chen Chunzhai was calm in command. He asked, "Has the distress signal been sent?"
A Talisman Warrior said, "The talisman has been sent!"
Chen Chunzhai said, "Good. Changfeng, you are responsible for the safety of the children. I will bring people to kill this pack of Blood Ice Wolves!" His words revealed great confidence.
Guo Shier and the other fourteen children were arranged in the innermost layer. Next to them were the other twenty-six children. A pack of snow dogs, under the control of the dog handlers, tightly surrounded the children. Then there was the sled. It was erected on its side, forming a small fence. The outermost layer was the Talisman Warriors. They directly faced the Blood Ice Wolves.
Guo Shier said, "Aunt Lan, support me." He was wearing too much and it was very inconvenient for him to move. He tried to stand firmly on the luggage. Aunt Lan supported him and said, "Be careful not to fall!" Over this period of time, Guo Shier had become very close to her. Guo Shier could clearly tell whether she was good or bad to him. He knew that Aunt Lan was really good to him.
"I can finally see clearly!"
Standing on the luggage, Guo Shier was a head taller than Aunt Lan. Of course, he could clearly see the situation around him.
Blood Ice Wolves usually formed packs of a hundred. The Blood Ice Wolves in front of him were a large pack. There were more than four hundred of them, and they were commanded by the wolf king.
Huo Bao held a steel knife in his hand and stood beside Guo Shier. His task was to protect Guo Shier. He said, "This pack 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 among them."
The Blood Ice Wolves looked like ordinary wolves, but they were a little bigger. Guo Shier had seen them in the beast exams. He knew that these wolves were not very powerful, but they were a headache when they formed a pack.
He felt very lucky to be able to see the battle between the Talisman Warriors and the Talisman Masters before he reached the North Fu Men. This was a great chance for him to understand this world.
The Talisman Warriors stood loosely. Some held weapons, some empty hands. Chen Chunzhai's voice sounded. "Get ready! The Blood Ice Wolves are about to attack! The Blood Ice Wolf's hide is not bad. After this battle, leave some good hides for me! Kill those damn wolves! "
The formation warriors erupted in laughter and said in unison, "Kill that motherf * cker … wolf!"
Even Guo Shier and Huo Bao felt their blood boil.
