Chapter 31 Giant Frog Breathing
Chapter 31 Giant Frog Breathing
Dawn broke in the sky, and a ray of bright light shone onto the earth, also illuminating the layers of fog in the Black Fog Forest.
It's finally dawn.
"Wake up, it's time for breakfast."
Biman pushed his brother who was sleeping soundly. He was so surprised that someone could sleep so soundly in such a place full of strong stench and surrounded by evil enemies that he simply pulled off the mask on his face.
"It stinks." Ivan choked on the strong stench and opened his eyes.
Seeing his reaction, Biman looked at the mask sewn by Paige suspiciously, little knowing that Ivan had added a lot of good things in it to protect against gas fumes.
Ivan said, "I only have one on me, so I didn't give it to you."
In fact, he was not the only one who fell asleep in the skunk konjac bush. He had been traveling in the jungle all day yesterday, worried in the first half of the night, and chased in the second half. Even a strong body could not bear it, so it was easy for him to fall asleep after entering the konjac bush where there was no danger.
We are all knights' squires, so we don't care about the slight chill and dampness.
Red called on everyone to leave the skunk arum bush.
When I came out, I saw that everyone was fine and no mercenary showed any symptoms of poisoning.
Mercenaries have formed a habit of always being fully prepared when going out on adventures. Items like detoxification, deworming, hemostatics, fire starters, dry food, etc. are all common items. After all, their lives are their own.
"Oh no, our captain is not awake."
The guard who fell behind came out carrying Marshall, who was already unconscious.
Red glanced at the others, and finally his eyes fell on his son Ivan.
"I'll find something and treat him when I get back." Ivan said, turning around, putting his sword on a skunk konjac, and using konjac leaves to wrap the konjac.
After a whole day and night of hard work yesterday, Liede didn't expect everyone to continue searching for the porcupine's nest, so he announced that he would go back first and make further plans.
The group set out on their return journey again.
The wolf-deer herd that was pressing closely on all sides disappeared without a trace. The dark fog forest during the day and at night were like two different worlds.
"Hey there's something good, the spoils of your sharp arrows, Ivan."
After walking for a distance, a mercenary found a deer head on the ground. It was covered in blood and only had a little flesh left, but the antlers that were as sharp as daggers of coral remained intact. The mercenary Bobby peeled off the antlers skillfully and handed them to Ivan.
Ivan turned and glanced at Deputy Captain Gro.
Gro smiled and said, "Yours and mine should be in front."
Ivan then took it: "Then I won't be polite."
Obviously, his performance last night was recognized by the other members of the Giant Shield Mercenaries, and they were no longer the unlearned troublemakers they used to be.
Less than an hour later, they arrived at the familiar black pine forest, and many people had smiles on their faces.
"Oh, Holy Mother, you are finally back. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep the whole night. My captain Marshall, what happened to you?" In the black pine forest, everyone unexpectedly saw Baron Church and other guards.
Regardless of whether Baron Church was truly worried or pretending to be worried, seeing him like this, the group of people felt a little comforted, especially the three guards, who would surely be more loyal to their lord.
"Mr. Ivan, I'm so glad you're safe." Lisa was there too, and she only had eyes for someone. "Dao Lujiao, is this your trophy? You're so brave."
Afterwards, Ivan and his companions followed the Baron to Black Pine Castle. Ivan checked the situation for the unfortunate Marshall as he was told. His condition was like adding poison to poison, and he just needed to be treated according to the method that old Orr had used to treat him.
Marshall's condition looked serious, but in fact it was less serious than when he was poisoned.
Ivan bluntly said that the treatment cost one gold coin, and Baron Church considered for a while before agreeing.
After seeing Ivan's treatment methods, Miss Lisa's eyes almost lit up.
It was night again, and Ivan and his son were still in the castle. The night sky was full of stars, and this night seemed particularly soothing.
Ivan found his father: "Dad, I think we need to talk."
Led looked at his son who had grown up without him noticing, and nodded slightly.
The two men came to the fence in the front corner of the room, and the faint light shone on them.
"What do you want to know?"
Ivan said, "Are there any disadvantages to our family's breathing method? I saw that you were very tired after fighting the tree monster last night." He noticed that his father was unusually tired last night.
Lede was silent for a while, then replied, "The Giant Frog Breathing Method is an ancestral breathing method of the Marichaton family. It emphasizes burst. Once it bursts, the force is stronger and faster, and the fighting spirit is more aggressive. Many superior breathing methods cannot compare to it, but the consumption is doubled."
Such a breathing method can indeed be considered of medium quality.
Ivan looked at him and listened to his story: "Many years ago, the family suffered a devastating blow, and countless people died. Then your great-grandfather inherited the title. Since then, the family inheritance has been seriously lost, and the breathing method lacks the key part that connects to the stomach digestion.
The cultivation method of the main medicinal material of the secret breathing medicine was lost, and the medicine field was destroyed. Later, after great efforts, the secret medicine was improved, but the effect was far inferior to the original one.
Practicing the Giant Frog Breathing Method would place a considerable burden on the body after each outburst, and it would take a day or two to recover. In fact, there was a kind of potion that could make up for this in the past, but it was also lost in the accident.
The Giant Frog Breathing Method has another characteristic: it is very difficult to change to other breathing methods after practicing it."
After his narration, Ivan realized that his branch was not the direct line of the Marichatton family, and the Giant Frog Breathing Method was no longer worthy of its name and had many shortcomings. The remaining value was not much different from the elementary breathing method.
After a pause, Ivan asked again: "So, that's why you let me go to Kasha, a famous swordsmanship school, to learn?"
Liede said: "That's right. The founder of Kasha Sword Art School is the 11th son of Marquis Jutao. He is highly regarded by the Marquis. If you perform well, you can use this opportunity to work for the Marquis and have a better future. This way, it will be easier for you and your descendants to obtain the title of nobility."
Sure enough, it is related to the title. This is the obsession of two generations of father and son in the Marichatton family.
Ivan had also heard of the Marquis Jutao. This old marquis, who was in his sixties, was particularly good at giving birth to sons. It was said that he had 24 sons in total, and the youngest was only two years old.
"If I ask to look through the Giant Frog Breathing Technique and Secret Medicine, would you agree?"
"You don't want to work for Kasha Sword School?"
"No, I'm still thinking about it. Besides, I want to see if the giant frog secret medicine can be perfected."
Reed did not refuse Ivan's request and said he would give it to him after arriving at Flying Fish Port.
After learning that he had successfully improved the water vortex potion, Liede realized how amazing his son's talent was as a pharmacist. Perhaps his son really did not need to join the Kasha Swordsmanship School.
"By the way, you can try this. It's a mountain monster potion made by Old Orr. It's a highly effective nutritional potion that may help improve the burden on your body after the outbreak."
That night, the father and son had a very pleasant conversation. After the conversation, Ivan gave his father a mountain monster potion.
……
On the same night, at Flying Fish Harbor far away on the seashore.
A fluttering blood-red butterfly was perched in front of a house in the east of the city, followed closely by a small green-winged snake also flying in the air, and a man in a gray robe.
The man in gray robe jumped lightly, jumped over the gate in front of the house and landed in the yard.
The blood-red butterfly flapped its wings slowly and flew half a circle around the house, then stopped behind a wall, and an even brighter light burst out from its body.
“Haha, I found it.”
The gray-robed man flicked his hand and the blood-red butterfly turned into a stream of light that penetrated the wall and entered the house.
On the other side of the wall, there was a dim light in the house. Under the light, there was a white-haired old man with a birthmark from a burn on his face. He was completely unaware of the bloody light falling on his body.
