Chapter 255 Tongue-tied After
sorting out this thought, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Shi Lei again, who was now frowning and had his eyes closed.
"Shi Lei? How do you feel now?"
"Captain, I feel a headache, as if something has been forced into my brain."
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu had no way to urge him and could only wait.
Fortunately, after about ten to twenty minutes, Shi Lei recovered on his own.
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel like there is an extra string of characters in my head. Is this the truth?"
As he spoke, Shi Lei's voice inevitably carried a hint of excitement.
“Yes, try to say it.”
"good!"
He took a deep breath, and the next second, Shi Lei had just uttered a note when he felt his tongue was about to get tied.
"No, this mantra is difficult to pronounce. I know how to pronounce it, but I can't pronounce it."
“…”
This situation was completely beyond Zhou Xu's expectations, and he also felt a little confused.
[Is this mantra so difficult to recite? ]
"Slow down your voice and read it slowly, one note at a time."
Zhou Xu tried to teach him.
In his opinion, although the mantra was a bit difficult to pronounce, the way to pronounce it appeared directly in their minds along with the mantra characters, so there was no possibility of not being able to pronounce it.
Isn't it enough to just use your mouth for this kind of thing?
Shi Lei had really not expected that he would have such a hard time reading.
However, this matter was not something that Zhou Xu could resolve with just a few words.
During this period, Zhou Xu also did some research and then discovered that in Shi Lei's case, his brain knew how to make sounds, but his tongue and throat could not learn it.
Many of the tones in this mantra are produced by relying on the resonance between the tongue and throat.
However, in Shi Lei's case, his tongue was about to get tied after pronouncing one or two sounds.
This situation gave Zhou Xu a headache.
He recited the mantras, and even though he was unfamiliar with them at first, he was able to pronounce the tones smoothly by following the instructions of his brain.
Once you've memorized it, you'll be able to recite it more fluently and faster.
He never encountered any problems in this aspect.
It can even be said that before Shi Lei's situation occurred, he had never thought that such a thing would happen.
If we ask him to teach now, he doesn’t know how to teach.
In the end, Shi Lei could only follow the instructions of his brain and practice more when he had free time.
Because of this unexpected situation, Zhou Xu's original plan was undoubtedly disrupted and he had to make adjustments.
After counting the days, I see that spring plowing is approaching, which is a big event at the beginning of the year. A lot of things have been delayed because of some things before. Now time is becoming a little tight. I have to hurry back to Black Moon Village.
Without any delay, he simply arranged the things here, then took Shi Lei aside and gave him a few words of advice before setting off.
At the same time, in Prairie Village...
After Zhou Xu left with his elite soldiers and went to Huangshan Village to recruit people, Li Ce, who stayed here with a group of new recruits, did not adopt a retreat strategy because of the departure of their leader and elite soldiers.
You know, during this winter, they became the overlords of the grassland.
No matter whether it was the wild beasts, wolves, or hyenas on the grassland, they would beat whoever they caught, and they were as arrogant as they could be.
They are a group of devils. If they suddenly restrain themselves one day, they will be targeted by the people, right?
Li Ce has always liked to try to figure out other people's minds, and this is no exception when he takes action on a daily basis.
In this way, following this line of thought, Li Ce would take the new recruits on war horses to parade through the city every day, galloping on the grassland as usual.
By the way, the new recruits were also taught the skills of horse riding and archery.
"Team One will go around to the left to cover Team Two and use a fan-shaped counterattack formation!"
In the team, Li Ce did not directly join the battle, but commanded the recruits to start hunting not far away.
Less than five seconds after the order was given, Li Ce's voice suddenly rose by several decibels.
"I'm talking about a fan-shaped counterattack! Team Two, what are you doing? Is your brain caught in a door?!"
Maintaining the "riding and shooting" state while implementing tactics in accordance with commands is undoubtedly a difficult task for the new recruits, and they are bound to be in a state of confusion at the beginning.
Hearing the scolding coming from the rear, the soldiers of the second team all shrank their necks.
They have been scolded a lot since they joined the army.
In the past, I was scolded by the recruit instructor, but when I got here, I was scolded by Li Ce, and it never stopped.
The worst thing is that no matter how long they are scolded, they can never get used to it, and they are terrified every time they are scolded.
Because this scolding often comes together with "extra training".
The daily training was already very tiring, and adding more training on top of that? It was enough to make them cry and scream.
During this process, they dare not stop their actions.
If they stopped after being scolded, they would be punished even more severely! Because of the mistake made by the second team of soldiers, the counterattack tactics were not successfully implemented. At this moment, the leopard-like beast that they were hunting suddenly broke through their encirclement and fled into the distance.
Seeing this, the cavalrymen who were conducting hunting training gritted their teeth and rode their horses to chase after the predators.
However, the leopard-like beast was so fast that they galloped on horseback all the way, not only could they not catch up with it, but the distance between them was even getting further and further away.
Just as he was about to be completely thrown away by the leopard-like beast, at this moment, an nimble figure suddenly jumped out from the bushes in the distance!
In a flash, the leopard-like beast reacted quickly and wanted to hide, but as soon as this thought came to its mind, a roar broke out, which seemed to form circles of sound waves visible to the naked eye, rustling the surrounding grass.
Under the bombardment of the beast's roar, the leopard-like beast suddenly felt a splitting headache, and even its subsequent actions were forcibly interrupted.
Immediately after a face-to-face encounter, the thick front paws pressed directly on the head of the leopard-like beast, forcing half of its head into the ground!
At that moment, blood foam began to flow out of the mouth and nose of the leopard-like beast, but it was not dead yet.
Feeling its life was threatened, it began to struggle frantically, trying to break free from the opponent's suppression.
But he found that the figure pressing on him was like a mountain. No matter how it struggled, it did not move at all.
Is it the weight? No! It’s the power! The overwhelming power!
The next second, there was a crisp sound of "click", and the head of the leopard-like beast was crushed on the spot.
In just two moves, the leopard-like beast was killed instantly, and at the same time, it also scared the soldiers who were chasing from behind.
After seeing the figure clearly, they all saluted with their fists.
"Master Chitose!"
