Ah!"
With a roar, the youth in the cage tore the dog in half.
The blood rain that filled the sky sprinkled on his body. That blazing red rippled with the endless power in his body.
He had finally succeeded.
At the moment of life and death.
Gong Hao couldn't remember how many times he had experienced life-and-death situations over the past few days. A short eighteen days felt like eighteen years of war.
As expected, Lancelot wouldn't save Gong Hao even when he was in danger.
Because this was his own choice.
It wasn't like one could comprehend the use of battle energy after experiencing a near-death experience.
In the beginning, fear was like a mountain that suppressed everything. It even made Gong Hao completely forget to use battle energy to defeat his opponent and rely on brute force to fight against his opponent. That was how he killed the Dire Wolf. He used his fist to smash the wolf's head into pieces, and the wolf's claws cut deeply into his abdomen.
Lancelot waited in front of the iron cage with the potion.
Before Gong Hao walked out himself, he would definitely not give him medicine.
Practicing martial arts in the Alchemy Castle was indeed beneficial. If he was injured, he could immediately heal. Even though Lancelot had some complaints about this,""A servant is not worth the price of a bottle of recovery potion, if it is not for the fact that I lack a good chef.。。These are all my private goods."
Gong Hao felt that his words were a little against his conscience. He could even feel that Lancelot liked him. Perhaps it was his arrogance that made him unwilling to admit it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to teach Gong Hao how to use battle energy and let him use this good medicine time and time again.
To Lancelot, it was rare to see a young man who was willing to endure so much hardship and was not afraid of threats. One time, he asked Gong Hao,"Isn't the reason why you cultivate Dou Qi because you don't want to die under the poisonous python's mouth?" But now, you are risking your life to fight these magical beasts? You have to know that every one of them is stronger than you, and you win every time by a close shave and luck. If one day you fall in a cage and can't get out.。。I think you might as well not practice. At least you won't have to worry about death for this month.”
Gong Hao replied,"Of course, there's a difference between dying because you have something to pursue and dying helplessly.”
Lancelot was very satisfied with his answer. He drugged Gong Hao even more forcefully, causing him to grimace in pain.
After killing Dire Wolf, Gong Hao gradually began to learn to face fear. As he continued to fight, he began to learn how to remain calm in the fierce battle, how to use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest victory.
The most important thing was to try to use battle energy to deal with the enemy in battle instead of relying on brute force.
Today, before the dog tore his throat apart, he finally felt the fighting spirit in his body, which had always been disobedient, suddenly rush to his arm. Not only did his hand gain a huge amount of strength in an instant, but a faint luster even appeared on his arm.
It was this bit of luster that made his skin hard. The sharp teeth that could have pierced through his bones had only pierced a big hole in it. At the same time, he grabbed the dog's legs and tore it apart.
Seeing this, Lancelot said in satisfaction,""Very good. Congratulations, you already have the most basic way of using battle energy. From today onwards, what you need to do is to cultivate and familiarize yourself with its use. As for the rest, I won't teach you anymore.”
At that time, Gong Hao could no longer hear what Lancelot said. He was completely exhausted. Lying in the cage, he felt that it was difficult for him to even move a finger.
After several days of intensive training, the beautiful, cute, and doll-like blond boy who made all the women drool gradually disappeared. In his place was a new strong youth.
There was a scar on his handsome face. It was left behind when he was attacked by the Dire Wolves.
His entire body, chest, and back were covered in the marks of the demonic beasts 'bites and scratches.
There was even a terrifying scar on his throat. At that time, his windpipe had almost been cut off.。。。。。
However, all the risks and hard work had finally paid off. Now that he was lying on the ground, he could even clearly feel the Dou Qi flowing through his body, restoring his exhausted physical strength.
" One last reminder: the magic beasts you are facing are actually of the lowest level. Their intelligence is low, and they attack purely based on their instincts. Other than pouncing and biting, they have no other means of attack. This is the real reason why you can defeat the stronger ones.。。I noticed that you had started to use a targeted fighting style. You knew how to observe their movements and make timely dodging. It seems that your blocking and dodging training was not in vain. However, high-level magic beasts had relatively high intelligence. They had more ways to attack, and some could use innate spells, which made them more difficult to deal with. Therefore, if you want to deal with the spotted flower poisonous python, you still have to be very careful. Even if most of its abilities are sealed, it still has a certain amount of intelligence. If you dare to underestimate it, you will still die.”
Lancelot suddenly sighed.""Actually, magical beasts are still wild beasts. No matter how smart a magical beast is, it can't be smarter than a human. Therefore, only people were the most terrifying opponents. Brat, take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he turned around and entered the small wooden house.
Looking at the sky leisurely, Gong Hao took a deep breath, and a few drops of tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.
A month passed quickly.
No matter how hard the training was, it couldn't delay his work.
Gong Hao didn't affect his work because of this month's hard training at the lakeside. He hadn't forgotten the meaning and purpose of all this.
Fortunately, the presence of battle energy was still very useful. As long as he slept, he would still be in high spirits the next day.
When it was almost a month old, Lancelot decided not to help Gong Hao collect the Spotted Flower Poisonous Python's saliva. This was because the moment Gong Hao mastered the use of Battle Energy, he could already subdue the Poisonous Python.
However, Gong Hao did not stop cultivating because of this. On the contrary, he continued to cook for Lancelot every day and then trained himself according to the method Lancelot taught him. The strongest talent to become an outstanding warrior was hard work. This was what Lancelot had told him. Gong Hao had always adhered to it.
Even though Lancelot was unwilling to teach him new things, Gong Hao realized that as long as he followed Lancelot's instructions, at the very least, the battle energy in his body would become stronger and more refined.
His strength was getting stronger and stronger, and his appetite was getting better and better.
"My scar is gone?" Today, facing the lake, Gong Hao accidentally looked at his face and realized that the scar on his face was getting fainter and fainter.
"This is nothing strange. The existence of battle energy not only provides powerful combat strength for warriors, but also toughens one's physique and increases one's recovery ability. You've been training for almost a month, and the battle energy in your body is taking shape. If you can't even heal this small scar, then wouldn't we warriors be waiting for death once we're injured?”
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
Gong Hao sighed.
It had been two months since he arrived at Purgatory Island.
The days flew by.
Tomorrow... Tomorrow was the day that Liberty would arrive.
Tomorrow, Andrew would bring another batch of servants and send another batch of people away…
Thinking of this, he bowed to Lancelot.""Sir Lancelot, I might have to go to the port to deliver goods tomorrow, so I can't come.”
"It seems that you are quite busy. He had to take care of the flowers and plants in Area 13, make records in the library, send me a list, help other servants when he had nothing to do, and cultivate battle energy.。。You actually want to go to the port to deliver goods? You really can't stay idle."
Lancelot's tone was full of mockery.
"You know that I used to be a servant in Baron Harden's residence. The baron told me that as long as one works hard, there will always be returns. Therefore, I work hard, hoping that all of you will see me in a different light.”
"A very straightforward reason, but not every effort will lead to the desired result.”
"It's better than not working hard and waiting for regret.”Gong Hao replied respectfully.
————————————————
The black-robed mage, Odoris, did not come to the port this time. On the other hand, the golden-armored warrior, Chakly, was still with the ship.
After Zakley brought the newcomers off the ship, Gong Hao and the other servants carried the large boxes containing the puppet warriors onto the ship one by one. These boxes were extremely heavy and consumed a lot of the youths 'physical strength. Fortunately, Gong Hao's strength had increased greatly after cultivating battle energy, so he carried one box up alone.
Gong Hao felt a little emotional when he returned to Freedom.
If he could, he really wanted to give up on finding that secret and leave by boat.
Unfortunately, it was just a dream.
"Hey, you lowly servants, hurry up and move everything up!”A guard shouted at the servants. He turned around and said to his companion beside him,"I really don't want to stay in this smelly place for even a second. I really don't understand how these people live here.”
Gong Hao put down his box and said to the guard,"My lord."
"What is it?" The grumbling guard glared at Gong Hao.
"It's like this," Gong Hao said politely."Everyone on Purgatory Island wears a leaf. This leaf has a very good odor absorption effect. You know that smell is actually a kind of air particle. As long as you brought one of these leaves, you could stay away from the stench for a period of time.”
"Is it true?" The guard widened his eyes.
Gong Hao took out a few leaves from his body."It just so happens that I have some with me. You can try it.”
A guard took the leaf, took a deep breath, and shouted,""Oh my god, I never thought I could breathe fresh air in the Sea of Death. Alchemists are really amazing.”
Several guards took the leaves.
When Gong Hao came by boat, he heard the guards complain a lot. They said that the air in the Sea of Death was so smelly that it was suffocating.
This time, he came prepared and easily won the favor of the guards.
"Can you please keep your voices down?" Gong Hao immediately whispered. These leaves aren't easy to obtain. They are all magic plants, and it just so happens that I'm the servant responsible for looking after these plants, so I can get some. If others find out and they all ask me for it…If you guys find out, it will be very difficult for me.”
A guard immediately beamed with joy and said,"Alright, I understand. Little guy, thank you so much. How long could these leaves last?”
"At most, it will last for a month, and then it will die.”
"Then can you send us leaves every month?”
"I can try. I came to Purgatory Island two months ago. I remember you guys on the Freedom. You guys are good people and took care of me, so I want to repay you.”
Taking care of a servant? There was such a thing? The guards looked at each other. Who knew who did it? But since that was the case, it was for the best.
Gong Hao continued,"Then I'll fight for it every month in the future, but I don't know if it'll be you guys every time. You know I don't want to give them to anyone else, but once the leaves have been plucked, it's impossible to return them to the tree.”
"Of course, it's always us," one of the guards said immediately.”
"Is there no other ship that will enter Purgatory Island?”Gong Hao's question was justified.
The guard looked around and realized that no one was paying attention to them. Then, he said softly,"You know, kid, the existence of Purgatory Island is a big secret of the empire. The best way to keep a secret was to let as few people know about it. Therefore, other than the people on the Freedom, no one knew about the Purgatory Island. Of course, no other ship would come here.”
Gong Hao lowered his head.”
Other than Freedom, no other ship could come to Purgatory Island. However, Liberty was not responsible for bringing people away.
For twenty years, they had been sending people to the island nonstop, but not a single ship had sent anyone away.
They were on this island. They must be somewhere on the island.
They had always existed…
He had to find them!
Gong Hao roared in his heart.
Another guard interrupted Gong Hao's train of thought."Kid, since you helped us, let me give you some advice. You must have worked very hard to survive on Purgatory Island for two months, right? Listen to me, don't listen to those alchemists 'nonsense. Don't be lazy and be taken to another place by Andrew. Do your job well. No matter how hard it is, you have to bear with it, understand?”
For the sake of their noses, a few guards did not hesitate to reveal a small "secret".
"Thank you for your advice, sirs. I think I might have some other small gifts for you the next time you come.”Gong Hao hurriedly said.
The guards were overjoyed. Kid."
"Of course, you have to know that this is Purgatory Island. It's impossible for everything to be guarded.”Gong Hao looked around and said softly,"I heard that some things can be sold for a high price.”
"If you can get it, we will definitely not treat you badly.”
"Thank you, my lord. Actually, I don't have any other requests. I just hope that you can bring some local specialties from your hometown in the future. You should know that Purgatory Island doesn't have anything fun or delicious.”
"Alright, kid. As your reward, what do you want next month? We can bring it for you."
"How about some energy crystals? I can do many things with them. But I can't use the crystals on the island as I please.”
"If you can give us goods that satisfy us next month, then this is a small matter.”
"I promise."
"Then we promise."
The Liberty left with the goods.
Gong Hao watched as Liberty gradually disappeared by the sea. A trace of melancholy, anger, and pain appeared in his eyes.
