People are pirates, and a sheep comes to open the gate of heaven

In order to entertain Aoun, a distinguished guest who can provide him with wine heart steel, Feiche gritted his teeth, took out the rice he planned to leave for Xiaoyu's birthday, and cooked a large bowl of rice for Yamato and Aoun.

Although he knew that the rice was hard to come by, Aoun, who had been busy all afternoon, was really hungry.

He didn't care too much, he only set aside half a bowl of rice for Xiaoyu, and then he wolfed down the rice.

Gollum~

After eating a bowl of rice, although his physical fitness has recovered a lot, the hunger in his stomach still cannot be quelled.

Glancing at Yamato, who looked sluggish, but also licked his rice bowl clean, Aoun couldn't help sighing softly.

Unexpectedly, the two of them left Wano Country with great difficulty, but their hunger was still with them...

At this time, it is impossible to go to the town, so I can only consider going to the wilderness to find those beasts with toxins in their bodies to beat their teeth...

Aoun remembered that Sauron had eaten the meat of those beasts when he first came to the island in the original book.

According to Sauron, with his physical fitness, he can digest the poisonous meat, but he only feels a stomachache.

From this point of view, Yamato should be able to eat those poisonous meat without too much influence. As for myself... Although my current physique is far inferior to that of Yamato and the future Zoro, after all, I am an animal-type Devil Fruit user known for his tenacious vitality. , I can't die even if I think about it.

Thinking of this, Aoun finally made up his mind, got up and walked to Yamato and picked up her mace "Ajian":

"Lend me your mace, I'll find a way to get some food back."

"Do you need my help?" Yamato asked weakly, barely supporting his body.

Seeing Yamato's reluctance, Aoun said:

"No need, I'm a capable person anyway, and I can deal with a few animals."

After saying this, he couldn't help adding in his mind, just to test the effect of the steel of heart.

After changing into a kimono and picking up Yamato's mace, Aoun went out and headed for the wilderness in the north of Kasa Village.

…………

Passing through a large bamboo forest, a decaying wilderness immediately appeared in front of Aoun.

"Heitan Orochi is really a sinner!"

Sighing like this, Ornn walked slowly into the wilderness with a mace in his hand.

Although it was already late at night, in this wilderness, there were still countless giant beasts that did not fall asleep due to hunger.

Those wide-open eyes shone with a faint green light in the dark night.

Cautiously walking through this wilderness, Aoun tried his best not to make too much noise while searching for targets he could deal with.

While searching, Aoun suddenly felt a certain voice in his ears.

Ding ding ding ding... Boom!

The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near, until there was a "boom" at the end, Aoun felt as if his body had been electrified, his whole body trembled unconsciously, holding the mace A Jian His hands were even faintly bulging with blue veins.

This voice is so familiar!

In the Howling Abyss back then, when the wind blew, the entire Broken Bridge echoed with this sound.

And now, this sound means... the enemy is approaching!

Just as he was thinking like this, suddenly there was a sharp sound of breaking wind beside him.

If it were the previous situation, it would be impossible for Aoun to react at the moment of hearing the breaking wind.

But now, because of the voice of Heart Steel as an early warning, Aoun has already secretly tightened the muscles of his whole body.

Rolling to the side following instinct, a sharp claw brushed across his shoulder.

At the same time, he also noticed a gray mark on the outside and red on the inside at some point in his line of sight.

The moment he saw this imprint, Aoun's spirit immediately lifted.

The muscles in both arms were raised high, and he held the mace tightly with both hands, and when he swung his arms round, he smashed it down hard.

clang~!

If the previous five notifications made Aoun's soul faintly tremble, then the sound of metal and iron clanging made by the shattered mark now made Aoun's soul sublimate.

The moment the imprint was shattered, Aoun immediately felt a warm current flow through his limbs and bones, making the body that was a little weak due to hunger full of strength again.

Come on!

In stark contrast to Aoun was the prey he hit.

Aoun's stick just now obviously hurt him a lot, and his body, which was six or seven meters long, was twitching violently under the moonlight.

This is a fox-like existence, with red fur covered with yellow spots... Well, it almost has the words "I'm poisonous" written on its face.

Because of being hit in the abdomen by Ornn's stick, the spotted fox grinned and struggled for a long time but failed to turn itself back, and there was faint blood overflowing from the corner of its mouth, presumably it was injured in the lungs.

Seeing that the fox had lost its combat power, Aoun planned to hit him with a stick to give him a good time, but before his mace fell, the warning sound of ding ding ding rang again in his ears.

At the same time, the sound of breaking wind came again, and before the three-second notification sound of Heart Steel ended, Aoun was hit hard on the back.

However, fortunately, the Steel of Heart can still provide a certain amount of defense even if it is hidden. In addition, before being attacked, he made a movement of falling forward, which reduced a lot of the impact.

Under the combination of the two, although Aoun was actually attacked, he did not suffer much damage.

It's just that the attacker's attack didn't stop at one blow. Before Aoun struggled to stand up from the ground, the cold and slippery touch had already wrapped his whole body, and it was still tightening!

It was a snake, and what attacked him was a giant snake hiding not far away!

This guy probably was disturbed by the actions of Ornn and Spotted Fox, so he attacked angrily.

This also explains why the Heart Steel did not issue an early warning - because the giant snake was in a deep sleep state before, and had not radiated hostility towards Aoun, so it was not judged as an enemy by the Heart Steel, so naturally it would not issue a condensation attack. The sound of the imprint came as an early warning.

"From this point of view, the steel of the heart cannot replace the domineering aura after all, not only is a situation like this unavoidable, but also the effective range of 300 meters can be said to be instantaneous for many strong people.

Without knowledge and arrogance, only relying on the three-second warning of the condensed imprint of the Heart Steel, maybe the moment the Heart Steel rang, I was already decapitated..."

While summing up the experience in his heart, Aoun hurriedly activated his ability and wrapped his body with magma.

clang!

The magma fell on the body of the giant snake, which happened to trigger the imprint of the steel of the heart.

The scalding magma and the double damage caused by the shattered mark immediately twisted the giant snake in pain.

Snake Xinzi frantically swallowed, and his tightly bound body suddenly relaxed, successfully allowing Aoun to find a chance to escape...
