Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 198 The Sword Is Still Uncut
"You've been staring at me all afternoon."

Outside the cabin, Xia He sat cross-legged on the ground, gently grinding the blade with sandpaper. However, the "gaze" projected from behind him always made him feel a little creepy.

"No, you... forget it." Minnie pursed her lips. Her wheat-colored skin looked like a piece of bread under the setting sun, making people want to take a bite of it.

However, in the eyes of Xia He, an "old man" whose mental age is already over 200 years old, a little girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old is almost no different from his granddaughter.

"Don't ask, if you ask, it's talent."

Xia He didn't want to explain too much.

Or in other words, there's no point in explaining it.

Even if he said that he was reincarnated and traveled through time, whether the other party believed it or not is another matter. He probably would not understand the meaning of these two words at all.

"Talent? Is it the talent of a certain race?" Minian blinked.

She had heard from her father that in addition to humans, there were many other strange races in the world.

"Just take it as that." Xia He replied casually.

"I see..." Minnie Ann nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, I didn’t know where my thoughts drifted to, but I didn’t continue staring at Xia He.

After sharpening the knife, Xia He stood up, walked to the field, and began to manually drive away insects from the crops.

As for when to deal with the sea beast...

Let's wait for a while until we are fully prepared.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly three months had passed.

Every day, they either eat, drink, defecate, and take care of the fields, or go out hunting, pick fruits, and look for all kinds of natural materials that can be used and then use them for construction.

Compared with three months ago, there are two more "single rooms" of less than three square meters next to the cabin.

One is a warehouse and the other is a toilet.

The toilet is on the right side of the cabin.

The warehouse is on the left side of the cabin and is used to store food.

Come to think of it, in the past when there were no toilets, he and Minnie Ann would always find a secluded spot on their own, using weeds and bushes as cover, and then go to the toilet.

Now that the toilet had been built, Xia He dug a deep pit inside and placed the wooden barrel in it. Whenever either he or Minnie Ann finished using the toilet, they would take the barrel and walk to the fields to apply fertilizer.

After repeating this for many days, both of them had developed a conditioned reflex - taking out the leaves, wiping them, pulling up their pants, and carrying the bucket.

It's like the formula is implanted in your brain.

"The hundredth arrow! Done, Xia He!"

That day, as soon as the "clang clang clang" knocking sounds stopped, Minian shouted to Xia He with excitement on her face.

"Ok?"

Xia He, who was taking a nap to kill time, woke up from the wolf's back and immediately looked up at Minnie Ann, "Oh... let's let the aisle water hang there. Let me think about it... the day after tomorrow, the weather should be good, let's do it on that day."

"the day after tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Minian's smile froze on her face.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave here, but...

Can she and Xia He really deal with that sea beast?

"Yes, the day after tomorrow."

As Xia He spoke, he stretched, stood up from the ground, picked up a small bow that was tailored for his current height of about one meter, put an arrow on it, and shot an arrow at the scarecrow over a hundred meters away.

Swish!
The arrow pierced through the air and hit the straw man right in the middle of his eyebrows. Seeing this, Xia He nodded with satisfaction.

Although he possessed the talent of [Sharpshooter], he had hardly touched a gun or a bow since he was 150 years old in his previous life.

Now it seems that I am still as good as ever...

Oh, no.

It should be said that the sword is still in its infancy!

Bang bang bang bang——!
Minian's applause came as expected.

"Awesome!" Seeing this, she gained a lot more confidence in hunting sea beasts the day after tomorrow.

"Ouch~~" Xiao Hui immediately rushed forward and helped Xia He retrieve the arrow.

Xia He smiled, took it, and then stroked the wolf's head.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a fragrant smell of soil and flowers.

Before we knew it, time had quietly passed and we had entered spring.

……

Two days later.

Uninhabited island beach.

Near the wreckage of the ship.

Minnian held a stone hammer in her hand and slowly approached the ship which was already half buried in sand.

However, just as she carefully squatted down and tried to dig away the sand...

"Roar---!"

As if it had been waiting for a long time, the sea monster rushed out of the sea in an instant.

"what!"

The frightened Minian screamed and ran away without saying a word.

However, the sea beast did not intend to give her a chance to escape.

The shadow instantly covered the land.

The speed was even faster than three months ago. Its huge body, like a loach, dragged a long gully on the beach. Minnian was about to be caught up...

next second.

whoosh!
Two arrows flew through the air and hit the sea beast's pupils again.

The arrow shaft made of locust wood trembled slightly, and a large amount of blood spurted out. Xia He, who was hiding in the bushes, couldn't help but clench his fists and cheered: "NICE!"

After all, it is a beast with little intelligence. Even though it was shot once by Xia He last time, this sea beast still has not learned its lesson at all.

"Roar--!"

Howls of pain began to sound.

Minian took this opportunity, raised her stone hammer, and smashed it hard on the sea monster's tail.

boom!
The tail, without any scales to protect it, swelled up instantly after being hit by Minian with all her strength.

Seeing that her attack was effective, before Minian could be happy, the sea monster opened its bloody mouth and bit Minian's upper body.

Feeling a gust of wind blowing overhead, Minnie Ann closed her eyes in fear.

at the same time.

"Ouch~~!"

Xiao Hui came running at an extremely fast speed and bumped into Minian's abdomen. The man and the wolf flew forward for a long distance.

As a result, the sea beast bit away all the space and ended up with a mouthful of stones and sand.

"Roar---!"

Angry roars echoed across the island.

But just as the sea beast was about to pounce on Minian who had fallen to the ground...

Whoosh whoosh!
Several arrows flew over one after another and hit the sea monster's neck.

Stimulated by the pain, the sea beast staggered back a long distance. Although its life was still not threatened, it had already begun to retreat after suffering continuous setbacks.

But how could Xia He let it go so easily?
So, the moment he turned around...

A skinny little boy crawled on the back of the little black wolf and rushed quickly to the front of the sea beast.

then……

He drew out two swords that were much taller than himself, and swung them down fiercely, instantly cutting the sea beast's swollen tail into several pieces.
