Liu Guanfeng saw Dai in tattered clothes and asked with concern, "How are you, little one? Are you hurt?"
Dai shook his head, "I'm fine, Third Brother. Just a few scratches."
Liu Guanfeng took a closer look and indeed found some scratches on the boy's arms and back. Liu Guanfeng was shocked, "How did you get hurt?"
Dai smiled wryly, "At first, that black panther taught me how to hide and then left me to find a place to conceal myself. Each time I was discovered, it was because it found me. Then it made me hide in its territory while its group of Younger Brothers looked for me, and every time I was found, I got a beating."
"You've suffered, little one," Liu Guanfeng said with a pained expression.
"It's nothing, Third Brother. I will persevere. On the day I set out, I will definitely become a sharp sword in your hands, Third Brother, cutting down all your enemies."
Liu Guanfeng patted Dai's head, "Good brother, thank you."
Dai shook his head, "You don't need to thank me, Third Brother. If it weren't for you bringing me back then, I would have probably died like Grandpa."
Seeing the topic turn too heavy, Liu Guanfeng quickly changed the subject: "Since you're fine, let's hurry up and eat. We still need to carry stones later."
At the mention of carrying stones later, Bao Rui and Copper Bull's faces twitched slightly; after all, yesterday's events were still fresh in their minds.
Soon the Five People finished their lunch and quickly returned to their rooms to rest and regain their energy for the arduous training in the afternoon.
When the Five Boys walked out into the courtyard, they did not see Xuanwu but only saw Liu Yongmin cleaning the yard. Liu Guanfeng shook his head secretly; who would have thought that a dignified Advanced Knight would end up as a yard worker?
Liu Yongmin smiled at the children when he saw them come out and said, "Just now Xuanwu Master said for you to go directly to where you were yesterday; he is waiting for you there."
Liu Guanfeng said to Liu Yongmin, "Thank you, Uncle. From now on, let Copper Bull and the others handle these matters. You should take more time to rest."
Liu Yongmin shook his head and replied, "You all practice so hard every day, it's only right for me to do a bit of work. Besides, without my Mount, I can be considered half useless. If I don't find something to do, I'll go crazy. It's fine, you all go ahead and be careful."
"Uncle, then we'll take our leave."
"Go on, go on."
Liu Guanfeng led Bao Rui and the others toward the place they had been yesterday. When the Five Boys arrived by the deep pool, they saw Xuanwu resting with his eyes closed.
As the Five People approached Xuanwu without saying anything, they heard him say, "Today's task is the same as yesterday's; let's go mining." He pointed to a nearby basket without even opening his eyes.
Liu Guanfeng and the others could only lower their heads and pick up the baskets to start mining.
Today, everyone's condition was better. After four hours of effort, each person managed to carry back two baskets of ore. However, during their first transport, they had taken a short break by the deep pool and were each given a light beating with Xuanwu's vine when they were awakened.
In the evening, when the Five Boys returned to their residence feeling exhausted, they were greeted by a dinner prepared by Liu Yongmin and warm bathwater readied in advance by Zhuque.
After finishing dinner, the Five People happily rushed into their rooms to enjoy a comfortable warm bath. Liu Guanfeng returned to his room to continue practicing and solidifying the fourth layer of the Chaos Initial Skill's Mind Method. Soon, Liu Guanfeng became immersed in his training; Fighting Qi circulated within him while his skin absorbed medicinal properties from the water. The effects of Iron Skin Soup were also dispersed under Xuanwu's vine and were absorbed and digested along with the Fighting Qi.
As dawn quietly approached the next day, Liu Guanfeng's biological clock told him it was time to wake up. So he finished his training and went out to the courtyard with XP. Today's morning practice mainly involved repeatedly practicing the second spear technique that Bai Hu had taught him yesterday.
After breakfast, when Bai Hu insisted on observing Liu Guanfeng's spear technique, he was astonished. Bai Hu did not expect Liu Guanfeng to master this second technique so quickly. He patted Liu Guanfeng on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect my eldest disciple to be so clever. At this rate, I believe you'll soon learn all the spear techniques."
Liu Guanfeng nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Master. Disciple will continue to work hard and will not let you down."
"That's good, you continue practicing. Just now, when you thrust with that spear, your movement wasn't very decisive. Pay close attention to how I do it..."
After a morning of martial arts practice, the Five Boys seized the time to eat and rest, because yesterday Xuanwu told them, "You should mine for at least another two weeks before you can forge iron." At that moment, the expressions on Liu Guanfeng and the others were quite pleasant.
So the children could only make the most of their time to rest and regain their strength for the arduous mining work in the afternoon.
After resting, the boys gathered and headed towards the deep pool. As they walked, Liu Guanfeng felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him. He stopped and looked around but found nothing unusual. Continuing on, that feeling persisted.
This was strange; they had walked this path many times before without feeling anything unusual. Why did it feel so odd today? Liu Guanfeng thought to himself.
At that moment, Daila tugged at Liu Guanfeng's sleeve, and the Five Boys came to a halt. Liu Guanfeng looked down at Daila and asked, "What's wrong, little one?"
Daila lowered his voice and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Third Brother, I feel like someone is watching us."
Liu Guanfeng was surprised. "You felt it too?" Daila nodded.
"I sensed it just now; I thought it was just my imagination. Since you felt it too, there must be something going on. Everyone, calm your minds and see if we can sense anything."
After Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, he bent down and picked up a small stone from the ground, holding it tightly in his hand while closing his eyes to carefully sense the surroundings.
After reaching the fourth layer of the Mind Method supporting Chaos Initial Skill, Liu Guanfeng found that his senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell—had greatly improved. He slowly began to perceive changes in his surroundings and then gradually released his spiritual awareness.
There were no issues ahead or to the left; everything behind him remained calm. However, when Liu Guanfeng carefully sensed to his right, it seemed like a wall was blocking him from probing further. The corners of Liu Guanfeng's mouth lifted slightly as he finally found where you were hiding.
"Come out." Saying this, Liu Guanfeng threw the small stone with a whoosh of wind towards his right side. The stone flew into a nearby bush and suddenly expanded into a net of lightning; the small stone instantly turned to ashes.
Liu Guanfeng was taken aback, wondering what exactly was hidden in the grass on the right that was so formidable.
Just now, Liu Guanfeng's action had drawn the attention of the other four boys to the bushes on the right. Bao Rui and the others quickly formed a semicircle around Liu Guanfeng.
However, after waiting for a while, the boys did not see anyone or any animals emerge from the bushes. At this moment, Copper Bull and Iron Bull each picked up two larger stones and threw them in the direction Liu Guanfeng had just thrown his. This time, however, there was no electric net like before.
Could it be that the little guy had left? Liu Guanfeng picked up another stone from the ground. Seeing Liu Guanfeng pick up a stone again, Bao Rui also picked one up from the ground. Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai Yi followed suit, picking up stones as well. However, the stones that Copper Bull and Iron Bull picked were significantly larger than those of the other three.
Liu Guanfeng sensed that the opponent had not gone far; it seemed to be intentionally playing hide-and-seek with them. He closed his eyes again and slowly released his spiritual sense to feel where the opponent was located.
This time, Liu Guanfeng did not take too long to realize that the opponent should be in front of him to the right, about five meters away from where he had first spotted it.
As he felt his way forward, Bao Rui and the other three followed Liu Guanfeng, moving forward little by little. When Liu Guanfeng sensed that he was only about four meters away from the opponent, he swiftly threw the stone in his hand. Seeing Liu Guanfeng throw his stone, Copper Bull and Iron Bull immediately followed suit without hesitation. The electric net flashed above the bushes as three stones of varying sizes turned into dust.
Just as the electric net disappeared, Bao Rui and Dai Yi almost simultaneously threw their stones toward where Liu Guanfeng had thrown his.
There were two muffled sounds of "bang bang," as if they had hit something. Just when the boys were feeling pleased, a shadow suddenly dashed out from the bushes towards the Five Boys.
The boys' eyes widened in surprise as their bodies were almost simultaneously knocked back. Once they landed, they quickly got back up. Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai Yi instantly surrounded Liu Guanfeng again, looking warily at the creature that had just emerged.
When they looked closely at it, they could not discern what kind of magical beast it was. All they saw was a black creature with blue lightning patrolling around its body. Additionally, it had two small horns on its head. Liu Guanfeng stared for a while but could not figure out what kind of magical beast it was.
Just as the boys were watching warily at the magical beast that had sprung out from the bushes, they heard it suddenly speak: "Who spotted me first? And who threw those last two stones?"
