It doesn't matter what the lord is.

I stood on the sidelines and just watched the show.

The red-maned bear roared and rushed towards Alaya, and the trees in front of it were casually pushed aside. Alaya stood up from the ground, panting, with the long sword stuck in the ground, and could only passively avoid the first round of flesh bombs from the brown bear. Even so, Alaya was still full of embarrassment. Although he found an opportunity to stab the red-maned bear twice, due to the internal injuries, these two swords had little effect on the red-maned bear.

After smashing several trees in succession, the red-maned bear slapped out with one palm. It didn't have any moves or skills, it just did it. This kind of fighting style of using force to defeat skill is actually just right to restrain skill-based swordsmen like Alaya. If there are enough people, it is best to call in archers or magicians to constantly consume the opponent, so that the opponent can't touch you, and it will be easier to fight.

Alaya had her back against a tree, with nowhere to hide, so she could only hold her sword horizontally to take the blow. Fortunately, the long sword "Youlong" was really strong, and the giant bear's palm hit the sword and scratched its claws instead. It retreated in pain, and Alaya was able to catch her breath. But from her posture, one of her arms was probably broken, and she clenched her teeth and refused to cry out in pain.

The red-maned bear let out a deafening roar.

It kept attacking Alayya, and Alayya was beaten back step by step.

The little slime was trembling and hiding behind me. It poked its head out, its core flickered on and off, and I didn't know what it was thinking. When Alayya was knocked away, the little slime made a serpentine sound, a small ball of slime stuck to my pants, and its body bounced forward, as if pulling me over there.

I didn't move.

Becoming stronger is a personal matter. Others can only guide and comfort you, but the most difficult period can only be endured by one person. If you can endure it, you will become stronger. If you can't endure it, you will die. It is so cruel.

The little slime was probably mad at me for being so cold-blooded. After bouncing several times on the spot, it rushed towards the red-maned bear, but was slapped by the red-maned bear like a fly and flew into the tree. Not only did it fail to save Alaya, but after the red-maned bear smelled the mucus on its hands, it temporarily gave up on Alaya like a bear smelling honey and rushed towards the little slime instead.

In his eyes, Slime obviously has a higher priority than Alayya.

The poor slime lost more than it gained, and suddenly went from being a marginal OB to being the first to be attacked. Looking around, it found that there was no place to hide. Suddenly, its core light flashed, just like the crackling of electricity behind Conan, and it slid behind me.

What the hell!

Seeing the red-maned bear turn 90 degrees and rush towards me, I cursed the slime for being uncultured and prepared to run away. However, when I saw Alayya staggering to her feet, I suddenly decided not to leave.

The red-maned bear obviously didn't take me seriously, but he was drooling over the little slime behind me and slapped it hastily. If this slap had landed, I would probably have turned into meat paste, and formed a golden curry fried rice with the slime, which was now light golden, and became the red-maned bear's snack today.

The little slime was so scared that its hair was about to explode. Its round body suddenly turned into the shape of a sea urchin, and it was out of its mind for a moment. It pulled me hard, as if it wanted to drag me away, and also as if it wanted me to think of a solution.

If I could, I really want to tell it to be quiet, I'm having a hard time too.

It is indeed not an easy thing to resist the instinctive reaction of slapping the bear to death.

28. I became bald and you became stronger

Just as the red-maned bear's claws were about to slap me, the giant bear's body suddenly leaned to the side, and its claws passed over my head. The lowest claw was like a sickle, and it shaved all the hair on the top of my head with a click.

A bald man suddenly emerged from the crowd!

I touched my smooth head, and a nameless anger rose in my heart. I looked at Alayya who had used all her strength to knock the giant bear away, and shouted:

"Alaiya, beat it! I want to eat fucking grilled bear paws today!"

Alaiya gritted her teeth and stood up despite her wounded body. She panted and picked up the sword again. In comparison, the red-maned bear looked better. Apart from a few wounds cut by Alaiya, there were almost no serious injuries on its body. The gap between the two sides was obvious at a glance.

Even though the gap seemed so huge, after I said this, Alayya still replied gently:

"Yes, Master."

When she finished speaking, her expression suddenly became cold, and she thrust her sword at the red-maned bear, but it was a fake move. When the giant bear swung its fist, she dodged under the bear and stabbed the giant bear's abdomen with her sword. The giant bear felt the pain and punched Alayya on the shoulder, knocking her back several steps and stumbling.

She is slowly gaining experience.

When another round of attack came, Alayya stepped on the trees to fly over the giant bear's attack and stabbed the opponent's neck with a sword. Unfortunately, the mane on the red-maned bear's neck was too hard, and the sword hit the target shallowly.

There are many types of kendo. Although they are all classified as kendo, their intensity and training methods are different.

Among the three top masters of the tenth level of swordsmanship in Yongtian Kingdom, the one who lives in the palace practices Zen sword.

This sword technique sounds very cool, and it is actually very cool. In daily practice, you just need to meditate and practice swordsmanship, and slowly your swordsmanship will improve. How much you improve depends on your understanding, whether you have the integrity, the mentality, and the mind.

One day you will attain enlightenment, and the righteous energy between heaven and earth will gather in your body. Your sword skills will be soft yet strong, and no one in the world will dare to compete with you.

To put it bluntly, it depends on talent, effort, and everything else. One out of ten million people is the limit. And if you can do it, you are a master. If you can't do it, it's useless and is worse than ordinary swordsmanship.

Alayya's swordsmanship is the swordsmanship of killing, the most practical swordsmanship. When fighting, I don't care whether my sword is in line with the principles of heaven and earth, whether it conforms to moral justice, I just think about how to kill the opponent.

How to practice this kind of kendo?

It’s very simple, just practice like this now!

If you don't kill the other person, the other person will come to kill you.

It is in this situation that you will think about how to kill the opponent with all your heart and soul. You focus all your attention on the opponent's every move, to learn, to think, to force yourself to become stronger in a short time, to stimulate all the potential in your body. If the opponent steps on your corpse, it means you are willing to admit defeat. Otherwise, you will step on the opponent's corpse, on countless rivers of blood and corpses, to reach a higher height!

The red-maned bear was almost crazy.

After Alayya switched to technical attack, the giant bear failed to launch an effective attack several times.

On the contrary, the wounds on its body gradually increased.

Of course I understand how it feels, it's just like in a fighting game where you beat your opponent down to low health, and then have to watch him perform like crazy, using all kinds of combos to make you unable to raise your head.

The more this happens, the more upset I become.

The more irritated you are, the more powerless you feel.

The red-maned bear fought angrily with Alayya for about a few minutes, but did not gain any advantage from the other party.

I couldn't help but applaud beside him:

"What a boast, Alayya! You are so good at butchering a cow without any instruction!"

I don't know if I clapped too loudly or if the beast could understand human language, but after I said a few sarcastic words, it suddenly rushed towards me. Seeing that its huge body was about to knock me away, Alayya made a last move with the sword. It was a sword that was almost perfect at the fifth level. The silver light turned into an arc-shaped arrow and exploded behind the giant bear near its heart.

The red-maned bear wailed, and slowly fell to the ground, blood gushing out of its nose and mouth. It was obviously breathing in more than out, and it would not live long. The slime was now in high spirits, and rode on the red-maned bear's head, jumping up and down happily, as if to say, "You idiot, why don't you move? If you have the guts, get up and fight me."

Tsk tsk, the villain is successful.

I approached Alayya, who fell to the ground exhausted. This is how people are. When they put their heart and soul into something, they don't feel any pain, but once they relax, all the pain and suffering will come back like a tide.

Alayya let go of the "Dragon" in her hand and said softly:

"Master, wait a moment. Alayya will make you... braised bear paws..."

Alayya felt drowsy, but she still tried to force herself to stand up.

I gently stroked Alayya's forehead and said:

"Rest for a while. I'm not hungry yet."

Alayya relaxed again and passed out.

29. Shi Curry Fish Ball Lime

When Alayya opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was fire.

Then I smelled the aroma of meat.

Then I felt that I had changed my clothes, my armor had been removed, the blood-stained clothes had disappeared, and I was wearing a dry cloth.

The one sitting in front of the fire grilling meat was naturally me. When I saw Alayya wake up, I handed her a skewer of grilled bear meat, moved my butt over and sat next to her, took a bite of the grilled bear paw in my hand, and got burned unexpectedly, and kept breathing heavily.

Alayya did not eat the skewer in her hand immediately, but said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Master. I promised to make you braised bear paws."

I said casually:

"It tastes good when it's grilled. And I just said that casually. I was so angry at the time..."

After saying that, I lifted my hair. The hair on the top of my head was empty, but fortunately the hair around was still dense, so I came to support the center. When I lowered my head, the hair in front fell back and could no longer cover it. Alaiya laughed softly.

But then, she frowned again and said:

"It was Alayya who was incompetent and failed to protect the young master."

I took a bite of the bear paw meat. The roasted golden and crispy skin was fragrant, and the meat was a bit hard, a bit like jerky, but not at all dry, but very chewy. Fortunately, I brought all the seasonings with me when I came, including chopped green onion, chopped ginger, cooking wine, sugar, fine salt and cumin. Except for chili powder because it is relatively precious, all other seasonings are complete. I drooled after taking this bite.

"You've done a good job. Although there are many flaws. But I know very well in my heart that you have followed me in Lingyun City for so many years, and you have done a lot of hard work, and you have cleaned up my messes... Even the messes you made are everywhere. But you have never fought to the death with anyone. After all, to be honest, we could bully men and women and do whatever we wanted with our status as lords, and few people dared to fight against us."

That's quite true.

Alayya smiled softly and said:

"Alaiya can't guarantee that she will win next time. But whoever wants to hurt the young master will have to step over Alaiya's body."

She took a small bite of the roasted bear meat, chewing with her cheeks bulging.

I said:

"You don't have to be so careful when eating. Look at that person, he didn't do anything, but he was still eating happily."

After saying that, I pointed towards the red-maned bear's corpse.

Alayya looked in the direction of my finger and immediately saw the slime lying on the red-maned bear and feasting on it. I have to say that this slime is really thick-skinned. It didn't put in much effort during the fight, but it pestered me for food after the fight. I cut off the two paws of the red-maned bear, cut some tender meat and skewered them, then cut off half a circle of mane and put it together with the glowing diamond horn, and simply threw the rest to the slime.

The slime seemed to understand my complaints. It turned around and made two noises at me, as if protesting.

Alayya finished eating the skewer in her hand and suddenly asked me in a low voice:

"Master, my clothes..."

I said, of course:

"It's okay. I saw that it was dirty, so I just helped you change. I washed that set of clothes for you, and it will probably be dried soon."

Alaiya lowered her head and whispered:

"Master..."

I patted Alayya on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Alayya."

Alayya looked up in confusion. I gave her a thumbs up and smiled brightly.

"Although it's not plump enough now, it will grow up one day."

Alayya looked at me blankly, and slowly smiled, but the corners of her mouth were shaking violently, and the fake smile could not be maintained. I turned my head and looked at the brilliant stars in the sky. I felt that the Big Dipper really looked like Alayya lying down. When I helped her change her clothes, her fair figure appeared in my mind. I lay down on the grass with a bamboo stick in my mouth, and couldn't help but say:

"But for me, you who stay by my side are always beautiful no matter what stage you are in."

I didn't look at Alayya's reaction, nor did I make any more jokes about her.

But the resentment and sadness around me quietly dissipated.

To be honest, it's much freer here than Lingyun City.

I no longer have to listen to my brother’s sarcasm, no longer have to act according to my father’s mood, and no longer have to be pointed at by others every day.

The stars in the sky are beautiful, and the girl next to me is also what I like. Apart from that slime that is really in the way, there is basically nothing to complain about.

However, I didn't look for long before I felt something blocking my view.

Several small golden balls were spinning in front of my eyes.

I sat up suddenly and found that it was the little slime running over. After eating the red-maned bear, it changed its appearance. Its originally light golden body somehow transformed back to colorless. The golden light condensed into six small balls that slowly circled around it, just like a satellite circling around the equator.

"serge!"

The slime cried out, and two of the six balls around it floated away. It took the other bear paw that was roasting on the fire and handed it to me. I reached out to take it, and the slime turned around proudly, as if showing off something to me.

I patted its head and said:

"You are so sensible. You knew I was hungry and made curry fish balls for me."

After saying that, I reached out to grab the light golden ball next to it.

The little slime was so scared that it turned and ran away, hiding behind a tree and trembling.

30. I came to a place I shouldn’t have come to

After a night's rest, I continued to move north with Alayya and the slime "Six Fish Balls".

It is worth mentioning that Alaya's swordsmanship has indeed improved. She is still unable to deal with monsters above level six, so whenever I sense a monster that I cannot defeat, I will find an excuse to go to the toilet and sneak over to clean it up first, leaving only those monsters with a level similar to Alaya.

But there is a problem. Although I can kill monsters above level 6, I cannot bring back the materials. If Alayya sees me, she will probably get suspicious. If I look into it in more detail, I am afraid it involves a core problem.

I don't want Alayya to know that I'm strong.

On the one hand, my strength mainly comes from the experience accumulated in my previous life and the natural talent of this body, which has nothing to do with hard work. And the principle I taught Alaiya is that you have to work hard and strive for it. If Alaiya knew that she couldn't catch up with me who eats for free after working hard for a long time, she would be very sad.

On the other hand, it is only when I am weak that Alayya is worthy of protecting me. And she is my bodyguard, and the way she realizes her self-worth is to protect me. So I would rather create a dangerous situation to give her the opportunity to protect me than to show off and take on everything.

It is not always good to be strong. Sharp thorns can scare away enemies, but they can also hurt people around you. The purpose of taking care of others is to make the person being taken care of happy. Sometimes you need to put yourself in a weak position so that the person being taken care of knows that you are also useful.

Well, the above is enough. The core idea is still laziness. If Alayya can protect me, why should I work hard? Isn't it good to have food and clothes provided for you? To be honest, I think it is very good! It is simply the ultimate goal I am working hard to achieve.

After careful consideration, I decided to let the slime follow me. Every time I was forced to secretly hunt down a demon above the sixth level, I would let the slime eat it so that it would not be a waste.
