Pirate Traveling Merchant

"windless zone"

Looking at Nolan who looked confused, Long Yi could only helplessly explain to Nolan the distribution of the world, the great waterways, the four seas of east, west, north and south, as well as the windless zone and the dangers of the windless zone.

After knowing the horror of the Windless Zone, Nolan was filled with fear. It turned out that he had been wandering on the line between life and death for some time.

"If the windless zone is so dangerous, why did the Neptunes come out to stop us when we got here?" Nolan quickly thought of the key point.

"It's not too stupid." Long Yi continued: "The bottom of this ship is inlaid with sea tower stones, which can avoid being discovered by the sea kings. This is a new discovery of the government. It is still confidential and has not been used in the navy yet. .”

"How do you know about such a confidential thing?" Nolan, the curious baby, continued to ask.

After knocking on Nolan, Long Yi said lightly: "You can't know too much now. Never heard that curiosity killed the cat. I will tell you when you can know."

Nolan, who was covering his head, said aggrievedly: "That's the reason again, old man, can you try something new?"

Long Yi continued to sail the boat and ignored Nolan.Soon they arrived at the small island. As soon as the boat docked, Nolan jumped out immediately. Their boat stopped at the grassy part of the boat. After arriving at the small island, Nolan discovered that the island was quite big, not very big. It's big, but it covers an area of ​​more than ten kilometers.

"Master Long Yi, how are we going to train?" Nolan asked, looking at Long Yi who was moving his luggage.

"Let's wait until we finish moving our luggage and setting up the tent." Long Yi said calmly.

Nolan, who understood Long Yi's character, stopped talking nonsense and stepped forward to help.After a while, the tent was set up and the luggage was packed.

"You can talk now." Nolan stood in front of Long Yi and said excitedly.

Long nodded, "Well, let me explain to you the content of our training."

"Yeah." Nolan looked at Long Yi with shining eyes, looking forward to what Long Yi would say next.

"That's running, above." Long Yi said seriously.

"Running" Nolan's head was at a loss for a moment. The training content he was looking forward to was actually running. Although running can keep fit, it is a little different from training to become a strong person. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of it. What is the close connection between the two? The training of strong people is not all about meditating under a large waterfall, swimming in a whirlpool, or at worst doing horse walking. At best, running can only be a basic physical training method. Maybe Long Yi hasn't finished speaking yet.

Nolan came back to his senses and said to Long Yi: "There's more, Mr. Long Yi"

Long Yi frowned and looked at Nolan, wondering if the child was stupid. Didn't he just say the above two words? Why would he still ask such a question? It's terrible to be uneducated.

Looking at Nolan with pity, Long Yi patiently explained: "There is only running, there are no other events."

Looking at Long Yi's pitiful yet firm eyes, Nolan finally confirmed that the only training program was running.Suddenly, Nolan punched Long Yi in the face who was close at hand.

"You're kidding me, old man. If you can become a strong man by running, then the pig can fly long ago." The furious Nolan roared.

Long Yi was a little unable to react to Nolan's sudden attack, and his body flew backwards.When he was about to land, Long Yi came to his senses, turned around, stepped on the grass, and instantly rushed back to Nolan with a whip kick.

Nolan was kicked far away and rolled some distance after falling to the ground.

Looking at Nolan lying half-dead on the ground in the distance, Long Yi snorted coldly and said: "Humph, why should I lie to you? Running may not have much effect in other places, but it is different here."

Nolan, holding his waist, climbed up with difficulty, "What's the difference? Running is just running."

"Retard." After scolding Nolan, Long Yi continued: "The temperature difference between the four seasons on this island is very big. The temperature in the snow area is as low as 50 degrees, and the temperature in the lava area is as high as 58 degrees. In such a huge temperature difference The human body will become very strong if you exercise under conditions. Temperature is only one aspect of the challenge, and you have to deal with unexpected situations that may happen at any time."

After listening to Long Yi's explanation, Nolan realized that this small island was not simple, and he had some confidence in Long Yi's decision.

"It would be better if you said no earlier." Nolan limped back while muttering.

Long Yan's eyelids twitched, and he had the urge to beat him again. He thought to himself: You didn't give me time to explain either.

Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Long Yi continued: "Next, you have to run around the island. When you can complete 20 laps in three hours, then you will have initially passed and can start the next stage of training. .”

"Huh." Nolan didn't bother to answer and started running. Long Yi followed not far behind Nolan.

After running for almost 20 minutes, he finally left the grass area, but Nolan was already out of breath. Panting heavily, he asked Long Yi behind him: "Master Long Yi, how long is this island? Why did it take so long to run?" Get out of the grass." Looking at the desert area ahead, Nolan had the urge to give up.

"If you run a lap, it will be about 20 kilometers." Long Yi said jokingly from behind. "Why do you still think running is easy?"

Nolan, who no longer had the energy to answer Long Yi, kept running. Although he really wanted to give up now, whenever he thought of the village chief, Robin, and everything that had happened before, his unwillingness would well up. Not wanting to experience something like that again, Nolan could only choose to become stronger.

Gritting his teeth, Nolan took a deep breath and continued running forward.Looking at Nolan who had regained his composure, the corners of Long Yi's mouth also raised slightly.

Running in the desert is much more difficult than running on grass. The soft sand makes it difficult to exert strength. Coupled with the hot temperature, running becomes even more difficult. Although there is no lava field like Long Yi said. It was so hot, but the temperature was about 35 degrees. After a while, Nolan turned into a water person, sweating like a man without any money.From running to jogging, then walking, and finally straight to crawling.

It took Nolan almost three hours to walk out of the desert. The moment he walked into the snow, Nolan fainted.

Picking up Nolan, Long Yi had a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Nolan to be able to run through two areas with such a thin body. For a nine-year-old child, and a child who has not been specially trained, It can be said to be a miracle to be able to achieve this level. In the desert, there were several times before Long Yi felt that Nolan would not be able to hold on, but every time Nolan's great willpower broke his predict.

"This time it really impressed me." Long Yi looked at Nolan happily, and then quickly led Nolan back to the grass camp. He simply dealt with the problem of Nolan's dehydration. After making sure that nothing happened, he let him Nolan took a good rest in the tent.

Nolan slept until night. When he walked out of the tent, he saw a sky full of stars.

Long Yi, who was sitting in front of the campfire, waved to Nolan and took out the food. When he saw the food, Nolan's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly walked forward and ate it hungrily. Now he was too When he was hungry, he didn't bother to bicker with Long Yi.

After a while, the full plate of food was wiped out.

"You can eat so much. It seems there is nothing wrong with your health." Long Yi said while looking at Nolan after finishing his meal. "How about it? Do you think running is easy?"

Nolan took a breath and replied weakly: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult. If I had to complete a lap in one go, I would probably die."

Long Yi rarely hit Nolan, "It's not easy to become a strong person, especially a strong person who wants to protect others. You've only run halfway through today. The snow and lava fields behind will be more difficult than this." It’s more than 10 times higher. If you’re not careful, you will die. If you want to give up, do it now before it’s too late.”

Nolan didn't answer immediately, he just lowered his head and didn't know what to think about, the firelight flickering on his face.After a while, Nolan said: "I want to give up too."

Long Yi looked at Nolan, waiting for his next words.

"But, I can't go back. The problem before me tells me that I must become a strong person. Otherwise, I won't be able to change anything or protect anything. So I can only continue on the path of being strong. , if I give up, then I will no longer be who I am at that time.”

Looking at Nolan with a determined face, Long Yi said nothing. In his opinion, Nolan at this time was a responsible man. As long as a responsible man makes a decision, he will never change it.For such a man, all persuasion is an insult.

"Have a good rest today and continue running tomorrow." With these words, Long Yi stood up and walked to the tent.
