Chapter 142 The Hateful Ilio
Sure enough, the next day, all four goblins overslept.
Saya didn't wake them up in the morning, but let them sleep until noon.
When Shu Li woke up, he was still a little confused and felt short of breath. He looked down and saw Discio's calf across his chest.
No wonder I kept having nightmares. It turned out that my friend’s sleeping posture was too bad and he was pressing on him.
Shu Li decisively pushed his legs away, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Disio was nudged awake, his red hair sticking up like a chicken coop, and he yawned as he got up. "Morning... Good morning..."
Shu Li turned his head to look at the hourglass on the bedside, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly woke up Angel and Budno.
"Wake up, it's noon!"
"Huh? It's noon?" Angel rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Budno was still sleeping soundly, holding his beloved little pillow.
He has always had good sleep quality and can't be woken up no matter what you do.
Shu Li had no choice but to use his most powerful trump card. He leaned close to his ear and whispered devilishly: "Your fruit has been stolen. You have no fruit left..."
This trick always works. Budno suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
"Fruit! My fruit! Don't take it!"
Shu Li patted his cheek lightly: "No one is stealing your fruit, it's time to get up."
When he heard that no one was trying to grab the fruit, Budno immediately lay back on the bed.
Shu Li was very upset.
Angel stretched himself and saw Budno lazing in bed. He said, "I'm so hungry! Let's get up and eat!"
Budno's ears twitched, and he struggled to open his eyes. "I'm hungry too..."
“Gurgle—”
My stomach made some noises in response.
Shu Li nudged him. "If you're hungry, get up."
Fifteen minutes later, four enlarged teenage fairies ran towards the restaurant in a hurry.
"Hey, are you guys up?"
The elves we met on the road teased us with smiles.
"Good...good afternoon." Shu Li greeted shamelessly.
"Are you starving? Go and get some food for you."
Shu Li quickened her pace and ran into the restaurant with her friends.
When Sai Ya saw them, she smiled and said, "Good afternoon, my little cuties."
"Good afternoon, Saya." After sitting down, Budno leaned on the table and said pitifully, "I'm so hungry~~~~~~"
Sai Ya said: "Wait a moment."
She went to the kitchen and soon brought out a large plate of rich food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, baked bread, boiled eggs, deer milk, nectar, jam, etc.
The hungry young goblins watched with shining eyes and couldn't wait to eat.
Ilio walked in slowly, holding a few wooden sticks in his hand. He walked to the dining table and looked at the four young elves who were obviously very hungry but still maintained elegant eating postures with a smile on their faces.
Shu Li became alert, put down the half-eaten fruit, looked up at him, and was shocked to see the wooden stick in his hand.
What was Ilio doing with the stick? Was he going to spank them?
Is it because they got up late today?
However, if you really want to spank them, one stick is enough, there is no need to use five.
Shu Li suddenly understood.
As expected, Ilio said to them, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, go to the training ground to practice swordsmanship in the afternoon."
"Well?"
The other three young goblins nearly choked.
Ilio gave them no chance to refuse. He gave each of them a stick, keeping one for himself, and slung it gracefully over his shoulder, winking at them.
"Don't keep me waiting too long."
He left the restaurant with a brisk pace.
The little goblin who got the wooden stick suddenly felt that the food no longer tasted good.
When practicing swordsmanship with the strongest warrior in the Elf Kingdom, they can only get beaten.
So, is this a disguised form of punishment?
Woo woo woo~~~~
After finishing their meal, the four young goblins hesitated and walked towards the martial arts training ground, carrying wooden sticks.
The martial arts training ground is outdoors, in an independent courtyard as large as two basketball courts, with various swords and bows hanging around the walls.
Swords and bows are the weapons that elves are best at using, and these two are the main weapons used in daily training.
Ever since Shu Li came to the Elf Kingdom to study, Ilio has become his swordsmanship instructor.
After studying for ten years, he still only gets beaten.
Angel, Desio, and Budno learned swordsmanship from a goblin teacher. Today is their first time here to receive instruction from Ilio.
Before coming, Shu Li gave them a vaccination.
Although Ilio usually smiles and often teases the goblins, he is very strict when teaching swordsmanship and is ruthless. It is common for the goblins to be beaten.
The three little goblins felt their scalps tighten when they heard this, and they had an urge to escape back to the sacred tree.
Shu Li embraced them, his eyes sparkling: "Good brothers, we share happiness and difficulties together!"
"Good brothers, we share happiness and difficulties together!"
The young friends were full of fighting spirit. They held the wooden sticks tightly in their hands and walked into the martial arts training ground with their heads held high.
Ilio stood elegantly in the middle of the training ground, a friendly smile on his handsome face, holding a wooden stick in his right hand and waving at the goblins with his left.
"Come on, come on, let's go together."
The goblins were delighted when they heard this.
If the four brothers join forces and beat Ilio together, how could they not win?
Facts have proved that we can’t win, we can’t win at all!
Ilio's feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he didn't move at all. He just swung the wooden stick in his hand flexibly. The four goblins were beaten so hard that their bodies were in pain and they were gasping for breath.
“Ah—I can’t take it anymore!”
Budno fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.
Discio sat down on the ground, unwilling to move.
Angel was better than them and stood strong, but his legs and hands were shaking.
Ilio showed no mercy at all, it hurt so much where I was hit by the stick!
Shu Li is the only little goblin who is still able to fight. He has been trained by Ilio for ten years and has learned a lot of skills. He knows how to avoid his attacks. As long as he speeds up his body movements and stays agile at all times, there is an 80% chance that he will not be beaten. The remaining 20% depends on luck.
Seeing that the boss was still fighting, Angel felt that he could not give up so early. He took a breath, endured the pain in his body, raised the wooden stick, and joined the battle again.
Ilio raised an eyebrow, dealt with Shuli and Angel easily, and launched a taunt skill at Desio and Budno on the ground.
"Hey, who just said they wanted to beat me up?"
"Is it over so soon?"
"Is your fairy teacher teaching you seriously?"
"You can't even last ten minutes. It seems you have no talent for swordsmanship."
"Is this what you call good brothers who share happiness and hardship?"
Don’t you want to be a hero?
Then muster the courage to be a hero.
Disio couldn't resist the stimulation, shouted loudly, struggled to get up, raised the wooden stick and attacked Ilio.
Budno gritted his teeth, tears in his eyes, supported his body with a wooden stick, shook a few times, swung the stick, and joined the battle.
Shu Li dodged the attack, stepped back a few steps, wiped the sweat from his face, and commanded: "Angel, you attack Ilio's back, Desio attack the left, Budno attack the right, and from the front - I'll attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed the stick into Ilio's chest.
"Not bad, you know how to use tactics," Ilio praised. "Unfortunately, your attacks are too weak!"
The wooden stick in his hand danced very fast, as fast as an afterimage, left and right, front and back, defending tightly without any flaws. In addition to defending, he could also counterattack.
Shu Li was not discouraged. He commanded calmly, took advantage of every opportunity, and adjusted tactics at any time, striving to hit Ilio.
The other three goblins gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle, obeyed Shu Li's commands, and cooperated tacitly.
An hour later, four exhausted little goblins were lying on the ground in the training ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily.
Woo woo woo——
It hurts so much!
I was in pain and tired, and I couldn't even move my fingers.
Ilio is a monster, there's no way to defeat him!
Shu Li was well aware of Ilio's fighting ability and calmly accepted the result.
Disio looked unwilling and secretly vowed to become stronger, practice swordsmanship well, and defeat Ilio.
However, the hateful Ilio squatted in front of them without blushing or breathing, poking this and that with a stick.
"Get up and keep fighting! Is that all you can do?"
The four little goblins glared at each other, but they couldn't get up and could only be mercilessly laughed at.
Seeing their rage rising, Ilio decided to call it a day, standing up and stretching. "Today is the third day of Danlov's meditation. I'll go see if he's awake."
He threw the wooden stick casually, and it accurately stuck into the weapon rack in the corner of the wall. He slowly left the training ground.
The four poor little goblins also wanted to go, but they couldn't move.
After more than half an hour of rest, they dragged their tired bodies and supported each other out of the training ground.
Angel looked at Shu Li with great sympathy.
It turns out that Sperien had been working so hard during the half month in the Elf Kingdom. No wonder his strength improved so quickly.
If they want to become heroes, they must undergo intensive training like Sperian.
I have to admit what Ilio said. The fairy teacher was too gentle to them and was reluctant to let them get hurt.
There was a determined glint in her amber eyes.
The meditation of the Dharma Saint Danlov has not yet ended. It is not easy to break through the level and enter the realm of the Dharma God in one fell swoop.
The goblins were trained by Ilio for more than an hour and then returned to their rooms to rest in a miserable state.
Shu Li applied the medicine, took out her diary, and wrote furiously, recording in detail what had happened in the past few days.
After finishing his diary, he took out a pile of ancient books and looked up information. Before he knew it, it was evening.
"Sperian, are you going... there?"
Three little friends came to him mysteriously.
Shu Li, who was about to go out for dinner: ...
Would you mind not acting so enthusiastic?
Normally he would go to Wanaku around midnight, but these days he had to leave early in order to follow the adventure team in the desert.
"I have to go, but not now," he said. "I have to fill my stomach first."
Angel asked solemnly, "Sperian, tell us the truth, is it really safe to go to Wanaku?"
Shu Li stroked the white hair on his head and comforted him: "Don't worry, the mother tree will help me hide my presence. As long as I don't show up, the dark elves won't be able to find me."
Budno sighed, "If only we could get into the root space of the mother tree."
Disio nodded in agreement: "Then we can act together with Sperian!"
"No, if we all go, it will easily expose our target." Shu Li tried her best to dispel their idea.
He was worried about this and couldn't agree to it no matter what.
The friends knew that it would be useless to go there with their current strength, so they hugged Shu Li in frustration and rubbed against her.
"You must be careful!"
Shu Li hugged them back. "I know."
After dinner, Shu Li, wearing high-end equipment and a hooded cloak, waved to the three little friends lying in front of the window, and resolutely crawled into the trunk of the mother tree.
[Oenomisis, why didn't you remind me?]
The little friend was sleeping in the groove of the tree roots. The mother tree should have known it clearly, but it didn't remind itself at all.
'You didn't ask.'
[Well--]
Only then did Shu Li remember what the mother tree had said to him.
There were some things she couldn't tell him without him asking.
What a strange statement.
But soon, Shu Li stopped worrying about this issue.
When he was teleported to the Ergoga Desert through the root system of the mother tree, he instantly felt a terrible breath.
He released his perception and was surprised to find that he was in a desert lake with several trees growing by the lake, and the roots of the mother tree were mixed among these trees.
However, what really terrified Shu Li was that the surrounding area was densely packed with giant red fire dragon lizards.
Shu Li: QAQ
