Kaeus's chess game

034 Steel Family

"This decadent and depressing place is not my future! My life should be overturned in that stormy continent, and should not be wasted in this mountain nest..."

"Is God still there? Is he still looking at us? Why does he never give us any instructions? Where is our direction?

Jettasus's words roared like a thunder in the elder's head, and the silver-gray eyes of Jettasus that flashed against the flames always appeared in the mind of the elder. In the days before Jedassos left, his quarrel with the elder became more and more fierce, and the impulsive young man full of dreams had a stronger yearning for the outside world than the belief of the steel people.

The elder returned to his room with the kid with a shady face and drank half a bucket of wine before falling asleep. He muttered in his sleep all night, and it was not as comfortable as sleeping in the jungle.

The kid didn't sleep well. He hadn't slept in a strange room at this age. He looked around excitedly and slept in the middle of the night. Soon he was woken up by the noisy shouts.

Steel people are like an armed group. They have to receive collective training every morning. Except for those under 10 years old and over 150 years old, other ethnic groups must participate unless they are under special circumstances. The morning exercise of the steel clan is also very simple. Everyone is looking for people of the same age group to fight and practice according to their age. This kind of ethnic martial arts will last for an hour. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the steel clan, the training of the tribe is often very angry. It is common for two people to see red, but it is never allowed to hurt lives or cause serious injuries!

The steel people don't have a large population, and if there is internal consumption, they will be greatly damaged in a few years.

The little ghost squatted at the door and quietly looking at the dusty steel martial arts field. The good and bad steel warriors or cats jump, the kicks and embroidered legs, or fists like bulls to fight each other with brute force. Only a group of middle-aged steel warriors fight more wonderfully. They are competitors of steel patriarchs, a group The real martial arts idiots in the steel clan.

Since ancient literature, there is no first, and there is no second in martial arts! The competition of steel patriarchs takes place every year. As honorable warriors, many steel warriors regard this position as their goal!

It was not until after the training that the elder of the steel clan woke up. He was only responsible for the inheritance of the spiritual beliefs of the steel clan and did not care much about the military training within the clan.

Today, the kid followed Grandpa Steel for the first time in so many days that he didn't see the old man drinking. The sober elder of the steel clan took the kid into the tallest building of the steel clan: the steel temple.

This is a stone temple made of black rock. The majestic and huge metal god is like an overdeveloped metal gorilla. He raised his head expressionlessly and stared at the sky above his head with a pair of dark eyes indifferently and fiercely. The elder seemed to burn incense and pray in front of the statue of the metal god, waiting devoutly for the oracle. Although he also knew in his heart that the metal god had never descended an oracle since he became the elder, not only him, but also the last generation of elders, the last generation of elders, and the last generation of elders had never received any oracle in his life.

Sure enough, after working for a long time, the statue is still a cold statue, and there is no change at all. The elder sighed and stood up and said helplessly, "From today on, you are my registered disciple. I don't ask you to believe in our God, but you must fully obey my orders!"

The kid nodded and gave a deep salute to the elder according to the general rules of the hermits and called "Teacher!"

The patriarch of the steel family lives in an ordinary room, with a set of seats and a bed, which is so simple that it makes people feel shabby.

"Bodo, this is my newly received registered disciple, called Ghost!" The boss said to a muscular middle-aged soldier, this is the current patriarch of the steel clan, the temporary strongest of the steel clan, and the senior warrior Bodo Gang.

In addition to a piece of animal skin covering his waist, the patriarch of the steel clan always wears a piece of animal skin to show his exaggerated strong physique. This Bodo patriarch, which is almost rocky muscle blocks, has a rock-like face. If he turns his narrow eyes into a pair of angry giant eyes, this The big man really has the demeanor of a metal god. Bodo has also been taught by the elders before, so he is nominally the younger brother of the kid.

After listening to the elder's introduction, his stone face did not react much. He just looked at the kid coldly with his long narrow eyes, and then nodded silently to say hello.

The meaning of 'ghost' in the steel clan is also a traceless mystery, but in Bodo's head is a manifestation of timidness. The man has to face the battle with dignity. A boy is actually called a ghost, which is not promising.

The silent Bodo is a stubborn stone, and it is his silent and tenacious character that makes him stand out among many steel people. This patriarch, like other martial arts idiots, does not care about other things except improve his cultivation.

After dealing with these relationships, the elder took the kid to the hot spring near the village. At this time, there were only some children here. They were either brought by their parents to suffer metal into the body, or they gritted their teeth and slowly absorbed metal elements into their bodies. From time to time, the pool can hear the child's sobs or painful moans. If the children of the steel clan want to be strong in the future, they must suffer from an early age.

China once taught the kid a little body-entry technique. At the request of the elder, the little ghost ninja was in pain and performed his body-in-body technique in front of the elder. Since he only needs to strengthen his bones, China only teaches him the method of absorbing metal elements that steel children know.

The art of the hermit is basically the use of spiritual power, using spiritual power to catch elements in the environment, and then controlling them to complete polymerization mutations or other actions. Manipulating the fire element can complete the flame skill of the Yan clan, and manipulating the metal element can complete some special skills of the steel clan. However, the elements that each clan focuses on are different, and gradually develop their own special secrets.

As a kid who is guarded by the two main divine powers in the spiritual sea, it is easier to perceive elements with spiritual power than to breathe. He is seven years old, and his spiritual sea has been transformed by two advanced magic powers for seven years! It can be said that among the peers in the whole continent, the kid has the strongest spirit!

The elder silently looked at the little ghost's childish and clumsy movements. China obviously did not reveal too many secrets, but when the little ghost casually pulled out a pale yellow metal element from the sand from the hot spring, the elder's old heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Gold drawing! This is obviously a very low-level gold drawing technique! Ordinary children will bury themselves in the sand and slowly guide the metal elements in the sand to press them into the body little by little, but this is also limited to the thin metal elements that touch the skin. However, the little ghost can attract a layer of metal elements directly by covering the ground with his hands. This effect is very similar to the advanced metal drawing technique of the steel family. A large number of metal elements that can be directly absorbed have met the most basic requirements of gold drawing!

"This! Is this what China taught you? The elder asked in surprise. China has just mastered the drawing of gold. She will not have the experience to teach the kid. What's more, she must not have the courage to teach the kid such a high-level metal manipulation without her own consent.

The little ghost rubbed the yellow metal elements in his hands and said carelessly, "This is what I played with myself. Teacher China only asked me to cover my body, and then slowly feel the metal elements and press them into my body, just like those children did." The kid pointed to the steel children who injected metal elements into their bodies with bitter faces on the edge of the hot spring.

In fact, the kid didn't know that he had been exposed to advanced metal control in China's teaching, which was secretly passed on to him out of selfishness, but China did not explain, so the kid thought that this was all low-level metal manipulation and didn't care too much.

"You can absorb so many elements by yourself!" The elder secretly took a breath of cold air. The degree of absorption of metal elements directly depends on the size of the individual's spiritual power. Now he can't guarantee that he can attract more metal elements than this when he first mastered gold drawing. A child under the age of ten can directly manipulate so many metal elements. If he is not a genius, the elder of the steel clan would rather hit the tree with his head!
