Chapter 4: Too Poor to Become a Slave
In the dead of night, Zhang Yuan tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
It was not because the weather was too hot, but because the fire in his body was too strong, which caused a surge of qi and blood, causing him to sweat profusely.
In the evening, Zhang Yuan ate a large can of braised venison.
For the first time, I experienced the feeling of eating meat until I was full!
Venison has a yang-drying property, and he ate too much, plus the young man himself was very angry, and the result was predictable.
Zhang Yuan, who couldn't sleep, simply got up and quietly left his room.
He came to the small courtyard outside and looked around under the moonlight to make sure there was nothing strange.
Then Zhang Yuan activated the first host of the Divine Nest - the giant black ant!
The next moment, a strange force surged out from his left hand, penetrating through his internal organs in an instant.
Directly to the limbs and bones!
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but groaned, the muscles all over his body bulged, big tendons protruded from under the skin, and all the bones vibrated together.
His body grew taller and expanded at the same time.
This is the extraordinary power that the black giant ant, the host of the Divine Nest, has blessed Zhang Yuan with!
He stepped forward, opened his thick arms, and hugged the stone mill placed in the corner of the courtyard.
"Hey!"
Zhang Yuan exhaled suddenly and picked up the stone mill, which weighed four to five hundred kilograms.
In order to avoid disturbing his sleeping mother in the room, he kept his voice very low.
But the power of the explosion continues unabated!
Just like this, Zhang Yuan walked back and forth in the small courtyard five times with the heavy stone mill in his arms.
If it were Zhang Yuan from before, he wouldn't be able to pick up this stone mill at all, let alone holding it in circles like this!
Until he felt that his strength began to fade, Zhang Yuan firmly placed the stone mill back to its original place.
[Host: Zhang Yuan]
[God's Nest: Level 1 (15%)]
[Host: Level 1 Black Giant Ant (1%)/2 Twice the power】
[Qi and Blood: 10/75]
[Essence: 0]
The Divine Nest panel showed that Zhang Yuan’s Qi and blood had dropped to a very low value at this moment.
This is normal.
Not only does activating the ability of the Divine Nest host require qi and blood, but maintaining this ability also requires qi and blood.
Zhang Yuan estimated the duration of the double power, which was about five minutes.
This time is undoubtedly limited by your own Qi and blood.
As long as he continues to increase the upper limit of his health value, the burst of power will last longer and longer.
So you have to find ways to learn real martial arts and improve your own strength.
Zhang Yuan’s determination to become a warrior has never been stronger than at this moment!
After all this tossing, most of the fire in Zhang Yuan's body was taken away by sweat.
He took a simple cold shower by the courtyard and went back to his room to sleep. He was no longer troubled by insomnia.
Sleep until dawn!
The next day, Zhang Yuan woke up to the sound of roosters crowing in the village.
Oops!
Realizing that he had overslept, he cursed secretly and quickly got up to wash up. In order to cope with the county government's corvee, Zhang Yuan only had three days to collect the five taels of silver required for the service.
Only two days left!
After devouring the breakfast prepared by Zhang’s mother, he grabbed the hunting bow, hatchet, and water bag as quickly as possible, and left home to hunt again in Qianfeng Mountain.
What Zhang Yuan didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the house, only a dozen steps away, he saw the Zhangtou master from yesterday blocking the way with two servants.
Zhang Yuan paused and said in a deep voice: "Three days are not up yet, right?"
The Zhangtou master laughed, squinted his eyes and said: "Zhang Yuan, you are lucky, my family The eldest young master has taken a liking to you. As long as you sign this contract, then not But this time the corvee is exempted, and there is no need to serve in the future!"
As he said, he handed over a piece of yellowed paper: "If you can't write, you can just press your fingerprints."
Zhang Yuan took the deed paper calmly and read it quickly.
Then the anger in my heart soared!
Because it is a slave contract.
Once Zhang Yuan signs this contract, not only will he become the servant of the eldest young master of the Chen family, but he will also have no time limit!
Master Zhangtou shook his head and continued: "Not everyone can be a servant of our Chen family. In addition to the monthly reward, there are also clothes to send out, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing."< br >
"If you serve me well, maybe the eldest young master will be kind enough to let you learn martial arts, and then you will be truly prosperous!"
He was spitting out words, and Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart as he listened. Again and again.
If the guess is correct, the eldest young master of the Chen family should be one of the young men who learned martial arts from Gao Orion yesterday.
He still clearly remembered the way the other party folded his arms and looked down upon him!
If Zhang Yuan really wants to become this young master’s slave, he will most likely be a human sandbag.
Being used as a living target for martial arts training by the opponent!
Therefore, Master Zhangtou’s words are so exciting that no matter how profound his skill in painting cakes is, how could Zhang Yuan be fooled?
He expressionlessly handed the deed paper in his hand back to Master Zhangtou and said: "Thank you, Master Chen, for your kindness, but my Zhang family's ancestral motto is, if you die of hunger, you will not steal, if you die of poverty, you will not be a slave!"
"So this kind intention can only be accepted with heart."
Don't say that Zhang Yuan now owns the Divine Nest - even if he didn't, he would never be a human slave!
Master Zhangtou's expression suddenly changed, he held the deed and asked sullenly: "Zhang Yuan, have you thought clearly about the consequences of rejecting my eldest young master?"
Zhang Far from answering, he walked around the other party towards the outside of the village.
Seeing Zhang Yuan ignoring him, Master Zhangtou was so angry that his whiskers stood up: "How brave!"
"Master, do you want it?"
The servant next to him did Made a slashing motion.
"No."
Master Zhangtou did not lose his mind, and said bitterly: "Things like ants are not worth the effort. Anyway, there will be this little beast in two days. When you cry!”
He seemed to see Zhang Yuan kneeling at his feet and begging because he couldn't pay the service fee.
I couldn't help but laugh "hehe" a few times, and countless vicious thoughts went through my mind!
After Zhang Yuan left Chenjia Village, he quickened his pace and entered Qianfeng Mountain. Following the road he walked yesterday, he came to the forest stream again.
This time, he did not immediately search for traces of prey.
Instead, he looked around and waited.
Not long after, I heard a "punching" sound and saw a black crow walking through the forest and landing on a big tree a dozen steps away from Zhang Yuan.
It stared at Zhang Yuan coldly with its scarlet eyes.
Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You help me, I'll help you, you eat the intestines and I'll eat the meat!"
The crow cocked his head, as if Thinking about trade-offs.
After a while, it suddenly opened its wings and flew towards the right.
Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate at all and immediately followed him with his hunting bow in hand.
The human heart is as deceitful as it is even more deceitful.
He would rather cooperate with the dangerous Weird than bow his knees to the Chen family and become a slave!
