If pioneers were compared to goldfish, then compared to the pioneers that Zhang Tie had met before, these guys were too disciplined and had too much team consciousness. All the pioneers were undisciplined. Of course, pioneers also had teams. Sometimes, some pioneers that didn't know each other would even unite for the same benefit. However, if a team of pioneers was put together with Salvey's group, the difference between them would immediately be revealed. No matter how many pioneers there were, they were just a pile of sand. However, Salvey's group gave Zhang Tie the feeling that they were bricks, a team of goldfish that could swim in a queue. This was what made Zhang Tie feel strange.
Although he felt that there was something wrong with those people, Zhang Tie didn't think too much about it, nor was he that curious to find out some secrets. Zhang Tie felt that everyone had their own secrets. As long as it had nothing to do with him, there was no need for him to care too much about it. The identities of those people were irrelevant to Zhang Tie. What Zhang Tie really cared about was the saber strike from the guy called Miller in the birch forest.
If his reaction had been just a little slower …
If Salvey hadn't shouted out …
If that guy hiding behind the bushes had shot an arrow at him when Miller had attacked him …
Then …
At this moment …
He was probably dead!
This was what Zhang Tie couldn't accept the most. What he couldn't accept was that his life was built on so many "ifs". What if there were no "ifs" in the future? Would he be killed without knowing why? Would he become a corpse just like that? Would he disappoint his parents again?
After what had happened to Huck and Snade, Zhang Tie's fear of death once again gripped his heart. What was death? Was it endless darkness? Whenever he thought about it, Zhang Tie would feel a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
Did his fate have to be controlled by so many "ifs" that were related to others?
No! Looking calm, Zhang Tie was running. Inside, he shouted, "Apart from myself, my fate, my life and death can't be decided by anyone else. No … one! " If only the truly powerful could decide one's fate in this world, then … I will become that kind of expert. I want to become stronger, stronger, stronger … stronger!
The misunderstanding in the birch woods just now might not be a big deal for Salvey and Miller, as Zhang Tie had finally left the birch woods safe and sound. However, they didn't know that Zhang Tie had already left the birch woods. Because of such a trivial thing in their eyes, Zhang Tie's thought of becoming a real powerhouse who could control his own fate and life and death was completely ignited. The heart of a fifteen-year-old. At this moment, he finally woke up and started to beat vigorously in the direction he had determined.
Only by becoming a powerhouse could he let his parents live a comfortable life.
Only by becoming strong could he make the woman he liked unable to leave him.
Only by becoming strong could one control their own destiny and not be killed by others like a dog.
This was Zhang Tie's dream to be more powerful. It was neither earth-shattering nor great. It was even a bit selfish. However, Zhang Tie's dream made his heart surge as he felt full of power to move forward …
Zhang Tie suddenly sped up his running pace!
… …
The distance between the birch woods and the foothold was about 4-5 km. It only took Zhang Tie more than 10 minutes to reach the foothold.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he would meet another acquaintance at this foothold. When he arrived at the cave, both he and the person in the cave were stunned.
"Why are you here?" the two people exclaimed at the same time before bursting into laughter.
It was Blues in the mountain cave. Like the first time, they exchanged roles. Blues was making a fire with some firewood that Zhang Tie found casually and roasting a fragrant rabbit over the fire. At this moment, Zhang Tie rushed in from outside with a loud voice.
"Is this the foothold you chose?" Blues asked Zhang Tie.
"Of course!" Zhang Tie put down his baggage. "Otherwise, why do you think there are ready-made firewood in the cave?"
"You're really brave to choose this foothold. It's very close to the Crescent Prairie …" Blues said with admiration. "Even I didn't choose such a close foothold when I came here for the first time!"
"Crescent Prairie? I've just come back from the edge of the prairie!" Zhang Tie directly sat beside Blues and forcefully inhaled the fragrance of the roasted rabbit. He had not imagined that Blues could be so good at cooking.
"What happened?" Blues asked out of curiosity. After that, he noticed the huge animal trap on Zhang Tie's luggage. Blues then stood up from the bonfire and walked over there. After picking up the animal trap, he put it on his hand and observed it carefully, "There's blood stain. How did you get it?"
Then, Zhang Tie told Blues about how he had met Salvey at noon. Of course, Zhang Tie only told him about the general process — when he was about to come here at noon, he met a pioneer who was caught in the animal trap. He then sent the pioneer to join his partners and came back. As for the other details, Zhang Tie felt that it was unnecessary to share his troubles and thoughts with Blues.
Blues listened with great interest.
The roasted rabbit was almost cooked. This rabbit was very fat, enough for two people to eat. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony. They each took out a dagger to cut the rabbit meat and ate it. As they ate, they chatted about the recent situation. From Blues' words, Zhang Tie finally confirmed his previous guess. Glaze had promoted to LV 3 warrior and became the first one among all the horny students. He had a great reputation in Wild Wolf Castle.
This news didn't surprise Zhang Tie too much. When Blues said that Glaze was the only one who had promoted to LV 3 among all the students attending this survival training, Zhang Tie added in a mocking tone, "As long as it's tomorrow, he won't be the first one!"
Because tomorrow would be the day when another Leakless Fruit on the small tree would be ripe.
"What about you? Do you have all the tools?" The last time he met Bruce, he asked. Last time when he met Blues, Blues wanted to prepare something for picking Goose-neck Grass in Wild Wolf Castle. As for golden wolves, even if Blues wanted to, he would not be able to do it, because others wanted to catch a golden wolf alive. For an archer and a loner, it might not be too difficult to kill a golden wolf. However, if he wanted to catch a golden wolf alive and bring it to Wild Wolf Castle, which was 15 km away, it would be a bit difficult. Therefore, Blues aimed at the Goose-neck Grass. It was also very valuable.
In order to pick Goose-neck Grass, the most basic equipment was a plant storage box or a specialized medicine box. Because Goose-neck Grass was very delicate, its neck and roots were as fragile as garlic sprouts. If one was not careful, they might be broken or damaged. Once the Goose-neck Grass was broken or damaged, its medicinal effect would be greatly reduced, and it would not be able to be sold at a high price. Therefore, it could not be carried in a backpack. To pick it, one had to dig it out of the soil along with its roots. From the roots to the neck, the better preserved the Goose-neck Grass was, the more valuable it would be.
Zhang Tie didn't see anything that could store Goose-neck Grass on Blues' body or in the mountain cave.
"I'm looking for someone to order a medicine box to store Goose-neck Grass. I have to thank you. When I went to the Iron Smelting Workshop to find someone to make a medicine hoe for me, those guys didn't want my stuff when they heard that I was recommended by you!" A smile appeared on Bruce's face. No matter who it was, no one would feel uncomfortable having friends take care of them wherever they went. This was especially true for an unconventional otaku like Bruce. This was probably the first time he had tasted the feeling of being taken care of.
"That's nothing. Those guys in the Iron Smelting Workshop are easy to get along with. If you feel embarrassed, when you catch an extra wild wolf, you can ask someone to bring one to them for you. Those guys will definitely treat you as a brother..."
"Fine, I'll keep that in mind!" Blues nodded seriously.
"Then why did you come back when you haven't prepared it..." The moment he asked this question, Zhang Tie felt Blues was looking at him in a strange way. Touching his face, Zhang Tie asked, "What? Is my question strange?"
"Haven't you heard about it?" Blues asked curiously.
"Heard about what?"
"Wolf's Carnival Day!"
"What's Wolf's Carnival Day?" Zhang Tie really felt like a rustic.
"The two moons in the sky control the estrus period of the wolf pack. When the two moons turn into full moons, the estrus period of the wolf pack will begin. The estrus period of the wolf pack lasts for one month, three times a year. On this night, a large number of wolves will gather and howl towards the moons like holding a ritual. That's why it's called the Wolf's Carnival Day!"
Blues didn't notice that Zhang Tie's eyes immediately lit up when he said this.
"Today is the full moons of the two moons?"
"Yes!"
"How many wolves will there be?"
"Many. I heard that someone saw thousands of wild wolves howling at the moon in the depths of the prairie. However, with our strength, we definitely can't reach the depths of the prairie. Last time, when I was wandering around here, I found a place. That place is relatively safe, and many wild wolves like to gather there at night. If there are no accidents, we should be able to enjoy a small-scale wolf howling at the moon there today!" Bruce said leisurely with a fascinated look on his face.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's eyes were not only bright, but also extremely bright, as if there were two lanterns in his eyes.
"Blues …"
"Hmm!" Feeling that Zhang Tie's voice was a bit special, Blues, who was about to tear off a rabbit leg, turned his head and saw Zhang Tie staring at him with a burning gaze. Blues was startled by Zhang Tie's gaze.
"Has anyone ever said that you are cute?" When Zhang Tie said this, the firewood crackled.
Blues' hands trembled, and the rabbit leg almost fell to the ground.
"No!" After swallowing his saliva, Blues said with difficulty. After that, he sat a bit further away from Zhang Tie. At the same time, he looked at Zhang Tie with a strange look. "Does this guy have some strange hobbies related to soaps?"
In the cave with only the two of them, Blues suddenly felt a bit scared!
"You are very cute!" Zhang Tie said seriously.
