Chapter 202: Small Lake in the Back Mountain

There were not only three people at the table, but also another person.

An old lady with white hair, very thin, with eyes slightly squinting.

She appeared only during the meal, and Li Meng did not hear her say a word.

Tonight's dinner was very rich, with golden bread, sausages, and a roast chicken on the table.

After eating meat pies for many days, Li Meng could not help eating the delicious food on the table.

Seeing that Li Meng was eating so deliciously, Emily seemed very happy, with a smile on her face, and her hands were not idle, always putting food on Li Meng's plate.

"Eat more, eat more to grow up, look how hungry you are, you must have been hungry for many days."

While eating, Li Meng nodded and said, "There is nothing delicious on the boat, only meat pies, how can it be as delicious as the food made by Aunt Emily."

With a smile, Emily said happily, "You little devil, your mouth is so sweet."

With a smile, Li Meng used "eating" to prove that what he said was true.

After dancing a sausage for Li Meng, Emily asked curiously: "Li Meng, are you traveling?"

Although she is not very old, her brother has already run away from home at this age. Li Meng is alone outside, which makes Emily think of a possibility.

Nodding, Li Meng said: "Well, I guess so."

Traveling?

Crus on the opposite side raised his head, he looked at Li Meng, then at Emily, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating again and again, Cruz mustered up the courage and opened his mouth.

"I... I want to participate in the hunter trial..."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Emily's face disappeared instantly.

The old lady in the main seat was holding a cup of coffee and drinking it calmly.

"Pa..."

Hit the table hard with her palm, Emily stood up and said angrily: "No, absolutely not, how old are you? It's too dangerous, I will never allow it."

Pouting slightly, Cruz raised his head, mustered up the courage to face Aunt Emily's angry eyes, and said: "My father had become a hunter when he was my age. If my father can do it, I can do it too."

The expression on her face was stunned, Emily sat down decadently, with a sad look on her face, and said: "You know?"

Slightly lowering his head, Cruz's face flashed a trace of timidity, and whispered: "Well, I know."

In the following time, the restaurant fell into silence.

No one said a word until the end of dinner.

On Emily's farm, Li Meng spent a night, a quiet night.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a night passed.

When the sun rose from the eastern sky, it announced the arrival of a new day.

In the early morning, when all things revived, the huge Whale Town was quiet and the breath of nature was strong.

"Aunt Emily, why don't you see Cruz?"

At the kitchen door, Li Meng yawned and asked Aunt Emily who was busy in the kitchen.

After wiping her hands with a towel, Emily smiled and said, "He should be in the back mountain at this time. I don't know where he learned the skills of bodybuilding. He has to practice for two hours every morning."

Practicing martial arts?

With his eyes brightened, Li Meng waved to Emily in the kitchen and said, "I'll go and take a look..."

As he said that, Li Meng walked out the door.

Emily in the kitchen hurriedly chased out of the kitchen door and shouted to Li Meng's departing back, "It's almost time. Remember to come back for breakfast in half an hour."

"Got it..."

When Li Meng's voice fell, Emily could no longer see Li Meng's back.

With only helplessness in her eyes, Emily smiled and turned back to the kitchen.

The back mountain is still very large, but there is only one road, a road that is not considered a road, a forest trail.

After leaving the farm, Li Meng followed a trail into the forest.

Everything in the forest was dim, and the chirping of birds was non-stop, and occasionally the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard.

Following the gradually blurred trail, after walking for about a mile, the view in front suddenly became vast, and before he knew it, Li Meng came to the end of the trail, a small lake.

Walking out of the forest, looking at the quiet lake in front of him, Li Meng's eyes lit up slightly.

Cruz really knows how to find a place, and he actually found such a beautiful place.

"Li... Li Meng?"

Li Meng was looking around for Cruz, but he didn't expect Cruz's voice to suddenly sound from the side.

Li Meng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cruz running out of the forest on the left.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Cruz stopped in front of Li Meng.

A trace of timidity flashed in his eyes. Cruise was a little embarrassed and said with a shy face: "Then... that, why did Li Meng come here?"

Looking at the deep forest behind Cruise, Li Meng asked: "Are you running?"

Cruise lowered his head and said: "Well, one hundred laps, finished."

One hundred laps?

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Li Meng looked Cruise up and down.

I didn't expect Cruise to have such physical strength. Although it was just a small lake, one lap was at least one kilometer, and one hundred laps was one hundred kilometers.

One hundred kilometers must be run in two hours, or even less, this speed is not slow.

Li Meng asked again: "Is it over?"

Shaking his head, Cruise said: "Not yet, there are still one thousand push-ups and two thousand leg stretches."

Hearing this, Li Meng muttered in his heart, this is not martial arts training, but physical training.

Only new humans can withstand such intensity.

No, ordinary new humans can't do it. They must train day by day to withstand such high-intensity training.

Looking around, Li Meng looked at a big tree.

Taking a step forward, Li Meng came to the big tree and looked up at the tree.

With his legs slightly bent, Li Meng jumped hard, and his body soared up and jumped onto a ten-meter-high branch.

Sitting on a thick branch, Li Meng looked at Cruz who was surprised under the tree and said, "Go on, Aunt Emily said that you have to go back within half an hour."

After Li Meng's reminder, Cruz finally realized that time was running out.

After straightening his mind and taking a deep breath, Cruz lay on the ground and did push-ups.

If it is just to exercise physical fitness and the strength of muscles in various parts, push-ups are naturally useful.

Running, leg stretching, push-ups, these don't need to be taught by others, Cruise should have learned them online.

Li Meng remembered what Cruise said at the dinner table last night.

It seems that Cruise's intention to become a hunter was not a whim, but he had been preparing for it for a long time.

Is there a tough heart hidden under the timid appearance?

Looking at Cruise doing push-ups on the grass under the tree, Li Meng's mouth curled up slightly, and an idea came to his mind.

Half an hour later...

Panting, Cruise came under the tree, looked up at Li Meng on the tree, and said breathlessly: "Li Meng, we should go back..."
