However, the explanation of using the knife without emotion did not convince several girls, but the description became darker and darker.
"I have seen a horror movie, which tells the story of a perverted doctor who kills people..."
Xiaoniao Yiren stared at the unsympathetic back of the knife, and whispered to Sky Melancholy, Moonlight Rabbit and others: "Those murderers say they don't know how to kill, but secretly kill people cruelly!"
"Human face and beast heart! How scary!" Little Princess Qian and others all shrank their necks, and their expressionless eyes turned into those of a perverted murderer.
…
Time passed day by day, and the Qingshi tribe showed no signs of opening up to Zhang Ze and the others, and remained hidden every day.
However, Xiao Ke often visited Zhang Ze's camp and brought them some interesting little things. Zhang Ze would also give him some prey in return. Over time, the relationship between the two parties became more and more familiar.
"So, your grandma still refuses to accept us?" Xiaoniao Yiren curled her lips in depression and asked Xiao Ke: "Then has your father talked to her?"
"Yes, but it's useless!" Xiao Ke gnawed on the "Lin Niu" meat on his hand and said inarticulately: "My grandma never listens to others, she only listens to herself."
The Dragon King muttered angrily: "You're really stubborn. Open the door for stubbornness. You're so stubborn!"
After eating satisfactorily, Xiao Ke waved his hand and said, "I may not be able to come in the next few days."
"Why?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, a little strange.
"Because I want to take the warrior test!" Xiao Ke puffed up his chest and said boldly: "When the boys in our tribe reach one hundred years old, they must take the warrior test to protect the tribe and their families in the future."
Zhang Feng's eyes widened: "What did you just say? Are you a hundred years old?!"
"Yes!" Xiao Ke nodded: "Today happens to be my 100th birthday."
Everyone looked at Xiao Ke, who was only eight or nine years old, and their minds were in confusion.
Liu Yueying shook her head: "I really didn't realize that this child is a hundred years old..."
"Well, should we still call him Xiao Ke?" Moonlight Rabbit was a little confused: "At his age, he is older than my grandfather."
"Then we can't call him Grandpa Xiao Ke, right?" Little Princess Qian also shook her head repeatedly. She was not willing to call a child who was more than ten years younger than herself grandpa.
The giant god waved his hand and said: "Let's not worry about age or anything like that. This world is different from ours. They can live hundreds or even thousands of years, while we can live up to a hundred years. There is no comparison."
Zhang Ze touched Xiao Ke's head and said, "It turns out that today is your birthday. Let's do this. Uncle will give you a birthday gift."
He dug out some weapons, equipment and props from his backpack and asked, "What do you want? Pick whatever you want."
Xiao Ke is a good boy and everyone likes him very much. More importantly, they learned a lot about the world from this child.
"Really?"
Xiao Ke became excited. These were all things from heaven. He wanted to take one back and show it off to his children.
He was still a child and had no interest in weapons and equipment for fighting and killing, so he went to look at props and the like.
"Huh? What is this?"
Xiao Ke picked up the [Ability Ball] with curiosity on his face.
"[Ability Ball], you haven't seen it before?" Zhang Ze was a little surprised. People here must also hunt. Didn't they notice it?
"No." Xiao Ke shook his head: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing. It's so beautiful."
"Huh? There seems to be something in here... Wow! It's the 'Blue Winged Bamboo Dragon'!"
"Blue-winged Bamboo Dragon?"
Zhang Ze took it from his hand and looked at it. It was the "big dragonfly". He suddenly said: "It turns out that this monster is called the Blue-winged Bamboo Dragon."
Everyone ate dozens of them, and now they know its real name.
"Xiao Ke, look what this is?"
Moonlight Rabbit handed the [Ability Ball] dropped by the thorny monster to Xiao Ke and asked him to identify it.
"Oh, this." Xiao Ke said: "This is the 'iron rat'. The thorns on their bodies are very sharp and hard. We use them to make spears and arrows."
Seeing this, everyone took out all the [Ability Balls] collected during this period for Xiao Ke to identify. Through him, they finally knew the names of these monsters.
Xiao Ke made a selection and took away the [Ability Ball] of "Wind Shadow Beast" because he liked this fast creature best.
After sending Xiao Ke away, Zhang Ze suddenly remembered something: "Can Xiao Ke absorb the [Ability Ball]?"
Liu Yueying said: "I'm afraid not? He is not an adventurer."
There are different opinions even though he is not emotionless under the knife: "I don't think so. I noticed just now that when Xiao Ke got the [Ability Ball], he was obviously stunned for a moment. He must have seen something, maybe it was a system prompt."
"If Xiao Ke can also absorb the [Ability Ball], will he gain special abilities like us?"
Zhang Feng asked curiously, Tian Tian nodded melancholy: "It should be okay."
"I hope this kid won't use the [Ability Ball] carelessly, otherwise it will cause him trouble." Zhang Ze said while looking at Xiao Ke who was walking away.
After returning to the tribe, Xiao Ke first went to find some of his friends and showed off the [Ability Ball] in his hands to them. The children looked novel and envious.
"Xiao Ke, why do I see a line of strange symbols when I get this beautiful ball? What does it mean?"
A little girl with freckles on her face asked doubtfully.
"I saw it too, it doesn't matter, just ignore it." Xiao Ke waved his hand. He noticed it when he first got the [Ability Ball], but he didn't recognize the words that appeared in his field of vision, so he didn't pay attention.
The children played for a while, and Xiao Ke took back the [Ability Ball] and carefully put it in his animal skin pocket.
"Are you confident about tomorrow's test?"
A chubby little boy looked sad: "I heard that we have to run three times around our tribe within ten, but I don't think I can do it."
"If you can't do it, your parents will be embarrassed!" Another skinny little boy said: "Men who cannot become warriors will be looked down upon in the tribe."
"Yes, for the sake of glory, we must work hard to pass the test, become a strong warrior, and protect our tribe!" Xiao Ke waved his fist and said: "Although I may not be able to run down, I will try my best. Full strength!"
When it got dark, Xiao Ke said goodbye to his friends and returned to his home. He lay on the bed and played with the [Ability Ball]. The ball gave off a faint green light, attracting Xiaolan next to him.
She asked curiously: "Xiao Ke, where did you get this beautiful bead?"
Xiao Ke glanced at his sleeping grandma and whispered, "It's a birthday gift from heaven."
"You sneaked out to find them again!" Xiaolan said angrily: "Grandma said, they are not good people!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xiao Ke waved his hands hurriedly and turned back to look at grandma. Seeing that she didn't respond, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They are not like what grandma said. I think they are good people."
"Sister, do you want one? I'll help you tell the gods, and they will definitely agree."
"I do not want!"
Xiaolan said this, but her eyes lingered on the beautiful [Ability Ball].
"Okay, let's forget it." Xiao Ke took back the [Ability Ball] and retreated into bed.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ke and a dozen other children from the tribe gathered at the head of the village. The person in charge of testing them was Nabu, the bravest warrior in the tribe. He was tall and unsmiling, and the children were afraid of him.
"Today is an important day!"
Nabu, holding a spear, walked in front of the children in a row and said, "You must use your actions to prove whether you can become a brave warrior and a person useful to the tribe!"
"I won't say anything unnecessary. You should have heard your adults talk about the warrior test."
"There are three games in total. The first is a running test, the second is a jumping test, and the third is a combat test!"
"Only if you pass all three tests can you be qualified to become a novice fighter."
He glanced at all the children present with majestic eyes and said: "For the honor of yourself and your family, do your best!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen children shouted in unison, full of momentum.
Nabu waved his hand: "Okay! I'm very energetic! Now, let's start the first test, run!"
"Everyone who runs around the village three times within ten will be considered qualified!"
"Now, listen to my command...get ready and run!"
Hearing Nabu's shout, all the children rushed out.
"Come on, kid!"
"Son, come on!"
"Xiao Ke, run!"
…
The children's families stood by to cheer them on, all hoping their children would pass the test.
"Ten...nine...eight..."
Nabu hugged his shoulders and counted meticulously, with hope in his eyes.
The number of warriors in the tribe is too small now, and excellent warriors are even scarcer. If an enemy attacks, these dozens of people cannot protect hundreds of tribesmen.
So he eagerly hopes that more fresh blood can join his team.
These children in front of him are his hope.
"Run!"
Xiao Ke shouted to himself in his heart, but he only ran one lap, and Nabu had already counted to three. It was obvious that he could not finish the run within the prescribed time.
Sure enough, he failed the test. Even if he tried his best, he could only run one and a half laps.
Among the remaining children, only eight children completed the test and received cheers from the crowd and praise from Nabu.
"Damn it! I wish I could run faster!"
Xiao Ke punched the ground with his fists in frustration. Suddenly, the [Ability Ball] rolled out of his pocket.
"ah."
He hurriedly picked up the [Ability Ball], afraid of being discovered.
The strange line of characters appeared in front of him again. He scratched his head and thought to himself: "What does this line of strange characters mean? It seems that the following two characters can be chosen..."
Driven by curiosity, he tried to choose [OK].
In an instant, the [Ability Ball] disappeared in his hand, and at the same time he felt that his legs were full of power!
"What does it feel like?"
Xiao Ke stood up and tried to run a few steps, but the scenery on both sides turned into light and quickly retreated behind him!
This astonishing speed startled him, and when he stopped, he found that he was already standing thousands of meters away from the tribe!
"Wow! So awesome!"
Xiao Ke suddenly jumped up excitedly. He knew that the reason why he suddenly ran so fast must be because of that beautiful bead.
Suddenly he had a bold idea and immediately ran towards the tribe.
"Xiao Ke, where have you been?"
"Son, it doesn't matter if you fail. It's a big deal. If you go out to do business with me, you can still contribute to the tribe."
Parker and Xiaolan are looking for Xiaoke everywhere. They think Xiaoke can't accept failure and can't think of doing stupid things.
"Dad, sister, I'm fine!"
Xiao Ke waved to them, stood behind Na Bu, and said loudly: "Uncle Na Bu! I request another test!"
"Oh?" Nabu turned around, looked at the thin Xiao Ke, nodded and said: "Well, this unyielding spirit is very good! Then I will give you a chance alone. If you can pass the test, I will Let’s advance you to the next test.”
"Thank you Uncle Nabu!"
Xiao Ke looked excited. He believed that he would succeed this time.
Seeing that Xiao Ke was about to undergo a second test, everyone came up to watch. Many people admired Xiao Ke's persistence, but they were not optimistic about him.
"Get ready, start!"
Following Nabu's order, Xiaoke brought up an afterimage and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant!
"Huh? Where did Xiao Ke go?"
Xiaolan rubbed her eyes, why did her brother suddenly disappear?
Parker and Nabu looked shocked. They could see clearly, but they couldn't believe their eyes.
Is that the speed a human can achieve? In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared, it was too fast!
Nabu did not forget his duty. He immediately started counting. When he just counted to seven, Xiaoke had already run two laps.
"five……"
"Uncle Nabu, I'm done!"
Xiao Ke stood in front of Na Bu with a smile and said proudly: "Can I advance?"
"Ah, okay..."
Nabu recovered from the shock and looked at Xiaoke who threw himself into the arms of his father and sister. He thought to himself: "Why does this child suddenly run so fast?"
He suspected Xiaoke of cheating, but couldn't find any traces, so he had to give up.
"Son, why are you running so fast all of a sudden?"
Parker pulled his son and looked left and right. Yes, this was his biological son.
"Hey, I could have run away!" Xiao Ke said carelessly.
Xiao Lan narrowed her eyes. She seemed to have guessed Xiao Ke's secret.
Afterwards, Nabu announced that the second test would be held tomorrow, and everyone dispersed.
Xiaolan pulled Xiaoke aside and asked in a low voice: "Where is your [Ability Ball]? Take it out and show it to me!"
Seeing that his sister discovered his secret, Xiao Ke had to admit: "No, sister, that [Ability Ball] is really magical. It can give me the ability of the 'Wind Shadow Beast', and I can run as fast as the wind!"
"You are cheating!" Xiaolan glared and said angrily: "Follow me to see Uncle Nabu and admit your mistake!"
After saying that, he dragged Xiao Ke away.
"Sister! Wait, listen to me first!"
Xiao Ke struggled to throw away his sister's hand and shouted: "I want to be a brave warrior like grandpa!"
