"Then how do we cut it?"
"Humans have been chopping trees and making fire for thousands of years, all relying on magical medicine?"
The director interrupted and said, "Wow, this little girl is amazing.
I asked Xiaoye why he was holding her hand in the yard last night, and it turned out that he was picking her blisters. "
"Yeah, I also think Xiao Miao has something."
Zhao Qi didn't say anything, but just swung the stick in his hand faster.
Although the three of them often quarreled, their relationship was not bad. On the contrary, they had always been on good terms.
The director quickly noticed his unusual behavior and pretended to be displeased: "If you feel ashamed, go chop down the tree immediately. The rusty iron axe has not been taken back by the immortal Xu."
After he finished speaking, not only Zhao Qi and Yue Ruo were stunned, but the director was also shocked all over and muttered something with his head down.
Yes, why didn’t Xuxianren take the axe away?
Was it really an accidental oversight?
If it were ordinary people or things, the three of them would probably think the same.
But the person who did this was Xuxianren. If he says it was unintentional, I would never believe it even if you kill me.
Why could that be?
Considering that after Lin Miao entered the mountain gate, he went out to chop trees on time every day without slacking off for a moment, the three seemed to have realized something.
It's not that we forgot to take the iron axe, it's clearly Xuxian who is testing our will and character!
Recalling the loss of the elixir provided by Immortal Xu, and their own laziness all day long, the three of them couldn't help feeling ashamed.
He always boasts of himself as a senior leader, but in the end he is not even as good as a newcomer who has been working for less than a year.
I really don’t live up to the high hopes of Mr. Xu!
Zhao Qi slammed the stick he was holding into the ground and said, "I won't leave until I cut down the iron tree on the top of the mountain!"
The remaining two people obviously had the same idea as him. They set out for the top of the mountain again with firm and powerful steps.
However, when they reached the slope of the top of the mountain with high spirits, they remembered that their axes were still in the yard, and an awkward atmosphere immediately spread.
How can you chop without an axe? That's definitely not possible, right?
After detailed discussion, the three of them finally, through the director's ideological work, persuaded Zhao Qi to "take the initiative" to go down the mountain to get the axe.
But just as he turned around, he heard some noises coming from behind the slope.
"I did it, Senior Sister, I did it!"
"Me too, me too!"
The exclamations came one after another, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
After looking at each other, they simultaneously rushed to the top of the slope and looked down at the open space below.
On the open ground.
Luo Xiling stood on the edge with her hands clasped across her chest. The four people in the middle put their index and middle fingers of their right hands together to form a sword, and gestured randomly in front of them, controlling the long swords to circle above their heads.
The director patted Zhao Qi in surprise and asked, "How did you succeed all of a sudden?"
Startled awake, he rolled his eyes: "How would I know?"
"Director, flying a sword is really cool!" Yue Ruo stared at the four long swords that drew arcs in the air and crossed each other.
"Keep chopping down trees. As long as Master Xu is impressed by our sincerity, it won't be a problem for him to teach us the art of sword control!"
“Well…”
"Director! And Brother Zhao and Sister Yue."
Luo Xiling caught a glimpse of three people standing on the top of the hillside, and she waved her hands happily and ran over.
"Why are you here?"
"Uh, let's... come over to see how your practice is going."
She puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Under the careful guidance of this senior sister, they have all mastered their spiritual cultivation!"
Although Luo Xiling's tone was firm and her confident expression seemed trustworthy, the three people judged the matter with skepticism based on the girl's intelligence.
"Ahem..." Zhao Qi cleared his throat and wisely changed the subject, "If you can all fly a sword, does that mean you've passed the test?"
"That's a bad word."
He wondered in his heart why Luo Xiling rejected it so decisively and quickly, and her tone even had a flavor of Xu Xianren.
Then he noticed that her lips were still, and a familiar voice came from behind him. He suddenly realized what was going on and turned around: "Xu Xianren."
"What are you doing here?" Xu, dressed in a white robe, glanced at the three of them.
"We understand the profound intentions of the Asahi-sensei!"
The director's face was serious when he spoke, but Xu remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, the three of them were delighted. Not saying anything meant they agreed. They really guessed it right!
Zhao Qi said hurriedly: "We were indeed stupid for ignoring the efforts of Master Xuxian, but fortunately we woke up in time and are ready to follow your wishes and cut down the trees carefully."
"Everyone... that's right." Xu agreed silently, a smile appeared on his face, "It's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost, so please do as you please."
After saying that, he turned to Luo Xiling and said, "Although you have gone through the process of self-examination, self-cultivation, and sword training, the road of cultivation is still long.
We must not become complacent or slack off.”
"Yes!"
Nodding in response, Xu instructed: "The disaster will come in three days, the mountain gate needs to send someone to go, you will go together tomorrow."
The director asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that this disaster is a test for Hogwarts?
Mr. Xu, do you want to intervene?
If I want to examine them in person, I have to wait until it's over. Isn't it too early to go now?"
“Innocent lives.
If they are unable to resist, the Mountain Gate will protect the people’s safety.”
After a moment of silence, the director bowed and said, "Xu Xianren is righteous, and Shanmen is righteous."
When I looked up again, the person had disappeared.
…………
Zhang Mu was still a little confused until he left the "world".
Finally realized my profound intention?
How did they realize this? I have a profound meaning? Why don’t I know this myself?
He couldn't think of an answer to the question he asked himself from the bottom of his soul. He simply shook his head and put the question out of his mind, thinking it was not a big deal.
"Time is running out. We must show our military strength as soon as possible so that the subsequent plans to ascend to the sky can be put on track."
Muttering something, he exerted all his magic power and rushed towards the artificial island.
…………
The boundless ocean and the isolated reef islands.
After the mysterious young man left, Toby and Leon were left with nothing to do and no hope of escape, so they had to reluctantly and tremblingly play with the rock giant.
But they soon found that they were a little too self-indulgent.
The big guy didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and happily played with Misha by pressing one end of the seesaw with his fingers.
Tired of playing, Misha jumped off the ground, trotted to the side of the carousel, picked her favorite white horse and sat on it.
The device remained motionless for the past few seconds, and she remembered that there was no electricity on the island.
Just as Lost was about to come down, a rock finger as big as a pillar came down and moved the top cover of the wooden horse to start the machine.
Misha's cheerful laughter, mixed with the sound of gears being forced to turn and metal structures breaking, spread out in all directions.
The carousel obviously couldn't withstand such a tossing and turning, and it fell apart completely in a short while.
The Rock Giant caught Misha in time and safely and put her on the ground.
The thing is broken and there is no fun.
After thinking for a while with her finger poking at her chin, she suggested playing with the rock giant's body.
It did not refuse. It held Misha safely in its big hand and then let her run on its arm.
The body surface of the fallen spirit looks relatively flat because its body is so majestic.
Misha, who is considered small among humans, felt like she was climbing a series of steep mountains when she ran on it. She slipped and fell from the mountainside several times.
Fortunately, the big guy was paying attention at all times and immediately raised stone pillars on the surface of his body to catch her safely.
Later, in order to facilitate movement, wherever Misha ran, it would control the steep rock wall to become flat.
Misha felt weak from running from her palms to her wrists. She sat slumped and wanted to go to a high place to overlook the ocean, so she asked the big guy to put her on his shoulders.
Zhuiling seemed to love the little girl very much and used his magic to lift her onto his right shoulder.
After sitting here for a while, she decided to go to the left shoulder to see the scenery.
But this time, the rock giant, who had always tolerated all her requests, shook his head and refused.
With her fingers intertwined behind her back and her upper body slightly leaning forward, Misha tilted her head and asked, "Is that where your master is?"
The stone head, like a planet facing away, nodded.
"I've had enough fun, could you please take me down?"
Being pinched by two fingers and put back on the ground, the stunned Toby and Leon hurried over: "Misha, how did you do that?!"
"Isn't that what making friends is all about?"
"That's true, but..."
Misha waved her hand to interrupt them and said, "Uncle Toby, I've tried it. It won't hurt us, but it won't let us go either."
She had communicated with the rock giant using language before, and the other party responded, indicating that he could understand our conversation.
