Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 35

"Five..."

Chu Mu silently recited the number in his heart.

It is unclear how many casualties were caused by the inspection.

But where the thousand households are, the five heads piled up are clearly visible.

It is obvious that the results of the inspections just now were not as few as what Chu Mu had seen before.

At least five heads were cut off.

Of course, the battle loss ratio must be somewhat ugly.

Chu Mu looked around, but couldn't help but return to the storm-like offensive just now.

In the previous and present lives, this was undoubtedly the first time that he confronted people with swords.

Although only eight knives!

but……

[Name: Chu Mu. 】

【Skill:
Basic knife technique (first glimpse) 103/500]

【Spirit value: 59.3%】

Chu Mu looked at the light curtain panel in his field of vision, his eyes moved slightly, obviously surprised.

If he remembered correctly, just last night, his saber proficiency was only [-] points. After practicing martial arts for more than half an hour this morning, his proficiency increased by [-] points.

And now... one hundred and three.

In other words, he was almost alive and dead just now, and he took down the boy's eight swords, and his sword skill proficiency increased by [-] points!

"Is it the potential explosion between life and death?"

Chu Mu once again recalled the scene of the confrontation just now, and soon, Chu Mu vetoed this guess.

Chu Mu slowly raised the knife, trying to put himself into the fight just now, and gradually, Chu Mu seemed to be aware of it.

"Actual combat!"

Substituting in again, Chu Mu was sure that he could better face the boy's offensive.

This is not to say that the sword technique has improved much, but that his mentality, after this short but extremely dangerous actual combat, has made great progress, and it can even be said to have transformed.

It is human instinct to be afraid of death.

When people face weapons that can threaten their lives, they also have instinctive fear, fear of pain, fear of death, all of which are instincts.

After this actual combat, perhaps he has not completely overcome these instincts, but... he will definitely have a better mentality when facing actual combat and the threat of life and death.

"The tempering of actual combat, the improvement of mentality..."

Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Without actual combat, and only relying on imagination, he would never know what kind of threat it would be to face the blade that was slashing at him, and what kind of fear it would bring to him.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know what kind of instinctive reactions he will have under such threats and fears, and he doesn't know whether he can overcome these instinctive reactions.

If you haven't experienced this, then everything is just fantasy.

Even if he has cultivated his saber skills behind closed doors to an extremely advanced level, as long as he has not experienced real combat, it may be difficult for him to display one or two of them.

Chu Mu swung his long saber, his mentality changed, and his saber moves seemed to be smoother and more arbitrary.

"Thousands of households have orders, stay alert, and continue to set off!"

Chu Mu raised his head, looked around at the inspectors who were about to leave, and then looked at Xu Yuan and the others beside him.

"Let's go."

Chu Mu let out a long breath, and looked into the dense forest with a sense of eagerness.

The team set off again, and after only a mile or two in the dense forest, they were attacked again.

It's just that this time, for the patrol inspectors who entered the mountain, they undoubtedly gained a lot of experience after experiencing several attacks in a row. Facing the surprise attack, they wouldn't be as panic-stricken as before.

In this way, although the results of the battle are not very good, the attackers also left a considerable price.

Of the nine attackers in total, only three escaped in the end.

The young man who almost cost Chu Mu his life was severely injured under the siege of Li Gang and several other skilled inspectors, but was rescued by his accomplices in the end.

This time, Chu Mu didn't have time to participate in it, but because he stayed out of it, he could see it clearly.

Several corporal leaders were standing in line, and most of them were a little bit capable. The few strong men who followed Qianhu were all extremely skilled.

The hundred households, He Ping, didn't see him make a move, so he didn't know what his details were.

Obviously, not everyone was fooling around during the inspection, and there were not a few who were truly capable.

The rest of the journey will undoubtedly be uneventful.

Except for a few unlucky ones who were injured by the trap, the others arrived outside Qili Village smoothly.

It was already dark, and even if the torches flickered, it was difficult to see the village shrouded in darkness.

Under Hu Yao's order, the inspectors stepped into the village one after another.

"Brother Mu, why do I feel that everyone in this village has run away?"

Xu Yuan leaned beside Chu Mu, scratched his head and said.

"It's not a feeling, otherwise, why do you think those people who went up the mountain just now attacked us desperately, isn't it just to delay time!"

"If you don't run, why don't you stay and fight with us?"

Even though he said so, Chu Mu did not relax his vigilance, and looked around with the flickering light of the torch.

Just like what he saw in the geography, Qili Village is indeed not big, and the village is built along the mountain, forming a slope as a whole.

Dozens of houses are scattered on the hillside in twos and threes. If you find a good view, you can get a general view of the whole village.

The open gates of the houses on the side of the road and the scattered debris on the ground undoubtedly did not mean that the people in this village left in a hurry!
"Search door to door!"

"Don't let Laozi let go of the latrine!"

Chu Mu glanced at He Ping who was standing at the entrance of the village shouting, and then turned his gaze to the yard in front of him.

The courtyard wall made of mud surrounds the entire courtyard, and the gate made of bamboo slices is open. Standing at the gate, with the flickering firelight, you can get an overview of the scene in the courtyard.

Just glanced at it, but Chu Mu couldn't help his heart skip a beat, and then walked quickly into the courtyard.

The decoration in the yard is very simple, a mulberry tree is planted on one side of the yard, a deck chair is placed under the tree, and there is a small stone table beside it.

On the other side of the yard, there is a row of wooden dummy piles, sandbags, and stone piers of different sizes piled up in the corners, which are obviously used for hard work.

The ground in the courtyard is full of potholes, and it looks like it is obviously the traces left by years of martial arts practice.

Such a scene is undoubtedly very unusual in this small mountain village.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu simulated the scene in the courtyard in his mind.

Someone was lying leisurely under the mulberry tree, drinking tea and tasting wine.

A group of teenagers worked hard on this side, practicing martial arts hard.

All of this seems to correspond to reality.

I was attacked several times just now, and most of the attackers were very skilled, and they were not very old.

How can there be so many people with extraordinary skills in such a small mountain village?
If Orion were so powerful, then Qili Village would not be a small mountain village with a population of only a few dozen households.

Obviously, someone taught the young people in the village martial arts.

Just like the scene that Chu Mu simulated just now.

Heroes are forbidden by martial arts!
I have a good ability, how can I let others manipulate me.

That's why there was this violent protest, and the incident of being killed during the inspection...

It's just...how can there be such a capable person in this small mountain village?
