A Panda's Martial Arts

When the young panda regained consciousness again, he had returned to his den.

And the sky is already bright.

It was already midnight when it was completely safe. The group of monkeys where the golden snub-nosed monkey was located dispatched more than a dozen mature apes, and it took a full half a day to carry the wounded back all the way——

After returning, the half-giant panda immediately found the golden monkey who woke up, and taught him how to safely remove the arrow from his shoulder. By the way, he asked the golden monkey to cut the wound on his body and pull out the bullets stuck on his body.

And it was the big white-haired wolf who notified the monkey group to come to help.

The giant panda didn't realize until midnight that the arrow that stunned was actually an anesthetic arrow, and compared to the monkey that was really anesthetized, the white-haired wolf whose cheek was pierced by the arrow didn't actually get much anesthetic. , the wolf was fainted by fright.

It's just that at that time, half of the giant pandas had lost too much blood, so they didn't have the strength to laugh at each other.

The golden monkey’s ability to gouge out bullets is not bad. Even if the left arm is temporarily unable to use its strength, the monkey who is used to skinning and deboning goats can easily cut up panda meat, not to mention that the monkey now has a sharp steel knife. The whole process didn't make the half giant panda suffer too much.

But even so, the half giant panda still fainted from the pain.

This is not a bad thing. Without anesthesia, if he didn't faint from the pain, he might subconsciously bite off his tongue because the pain was too severe.

A total of four bullets hit the body, one each on the right shoulder, left upper arm, left hind leg, and lower back——

Especially the shot on the lower back was the most dangerous. If it weren't for the thick fur and fat, the bullet would have hurt the internal organs if it hit deeper.

"Uh..." The half-giant panda who came back to his senses shook his head, still thinking about what happened yesterday.

That was the first time he faced the muzzle of a gun, the first time he faced the shooting of a gun.Although he already knew that firearms were dangerous when he was a human being, it was only now that he truly and clearly felt how terrifying a rifle was.

He is still alive now, and he can barely say that he has taken his life.

"Are you awake? Would you like something to eat?"

The golden monkey lying on the stone platform at the side also got up. Although it worked as a surgeon for most of the night last night, it was actually a sick patient.

"There's pickled mutton and venison over there in the refrigerated cave. If you want to eat it, I'll ask Lao Bai to bring it over... It was the least injured in yesterday's incident, and it should be allowed to do some work."

Speaking of this, the half-giant panda and the golden monkey couldn't laugh or cry—the big white wolf was obviously the first to be hit by an arrow in the encounter yesterday afternoon, but after they were wounded all over, the big white wolf instead Became the least injured one.

Even the wolf taking the arrow is much easier than the monkey, it doesn't even need to cut the wound, just cut off the arrow feathers, pull the arrow and pull it out.

Except for the two holes on the cheeks that haven't healed well, and a little air leakage when the wolf howls, this big white-haired wolf still looks like a lively dragon.

But this is the only one of them who can still run around.

Everyone was silent during dinner. The half-giant panda was chewing hard on the mutton, the golden monkey was playing with a knife, but the white-haired wolf was inconvenient to eat meat because of the collapsed back molars. He wanted to say something to cheer up the atmosphere, but once When I opened my mouth, my cheeks hurt, and I forgot what to say.

None of them expected that this trip down the mountain would turn into what it is now.

"Since you don't talk about it, let me talk about it first."

After swallowing the last bite of venison, the half giant panda sighed.

"I am responsible for the descent from the mountain this time. I spoke too well of the human beings outside, but I forgot that there are bad people among the human beings... It is indeed my fault that I want to apologize to you here."

"No way, no way."

Seeing the self-reproach of the half-giant panda, the golden monkey and the white-haired wolf hurriedly tried to persuade them that there was really no need to blame themselves for this kind of thing.

The world is dangerous. Those who live in the forest have dealt with life and death all year round. One day, some of their companions may be taken away by wild beasts, bitten to death by poisonous snakes, or even simply stumble and fall to their deaths. Danger is everywhere. Yes, the human world is naturally the same.

"Anyway, for humans, although they can raise cattle and sheep, they still have to rely on hunting to eat meat occasionally."

The golden monkey uses its own way to understand the actions of those humans, and uses it to comfort the half-giant panda.

"It's like we went hunting those goats and deer... Although it's a bit angry to compare, but this kind of thing is indeed normal, we are just unlucky, you don't have to blame yourself."

"No, that's not the case..."

The half-giant panda scratched his head. He knew this kind of thing well - the reason why they were targeted by poachers was not just because of bad luck, but more importantly, because he ignored the value of his profession.

Neither the golden monkey nor the panda is cheap. Even the big white wolf is worth a lot of money just for the appearance of a pinch of white hair on its forehead.

But it is difficult for the golden monkey to understand the amount of money.

"That is to say, money is the paper that the old man in the mountain used to exchange for rice."

After the panda explained, the golden monkey felt that he had understood another piece of knowledge about the human world.

"Those humans wanted to kill us, peeled our flesh to exchange for paper, and then exchanged paper for rice... No wonder Jianguo brought some rice back before, rice is so precious."

"Uh...not really."

Although the monkey did understand what he was going to say, the half panda always felt that something was not quite right.

"It's not paper, it's money. What those other people want to exchange is not for the old man. They can exchange for dollars. The dollar is the money of the United States, us dollar."

"Knife?"

The monkey froze for a moment, then looked down at the knife in his hand.

The Damascus steel knife has a sharp edge, making it a good hand for both skinning and cutting meat.

So don't you still have to use a knife?Where is the difference?

"Forget it... let's not talk about this first."

The half-giant panda waved his hand to stop the topic. This kind of science talk between chicken and duck gave him a headache.

"Anyway, after this failure, we have to reflect on why we failed."

The thick bear's paw was slapped on the stone slab, and the words of the half-giant panda paused.

"Everyone can say, what do you think?"

"Because... bad luck?"

Seeing the half giant panda's gaze turned to him, the big white-haired wolf opened his mouth, and that was all he could say for a while.

It is indeed just bad luck, and it can only be bad luck. Like many animals in the mountains, the white-haired wolf is also accustomed to summing up all the problems it encounters as bad luck-and this is often the truth, you know If you're lucky, you won't have any problems.

But the golden monkey, who had already accepted some new knowledge, objected to this answer.

"It's not just a matter of luck."

The golden monkey holding the dagger shook his head.

"Just like a heavy rain is just ordinary weather for us, but it is a disaster for the ants on the ground... The reason why we say that luck is bad is because we have no ability to fight against danger. We are too weak..."

"So, we have to become stronger."

The thick bear paw patted the golden monkey on the shoulder, which is the half giant panda's way of expressing appreciation.

"At least we can protect ourselves."

Seventeen Chapter Exercises

The road to becoming stronger has never been easy.

With its front paws firmly gripping the ground, the big white-haired wolf tried hard to adjust its elbow joint——

With the elbow pointing more and more in the direction of the body, the white-haired wolf felt that the position of his forearm became more and more tense.

"This feeling... is like twisting a hemp rope."

The big white-haired wolf raised his head and tried his best to express his feelings to the half-giant panda.

Just like the hemp rope made by the golden monkey, the soft hemp rope will become a strong rope after being tightened continuously. If these ropes are tightened again, they will become as hard as wood.

Just like its current forearm, it felt like its forearm was turning to wood.

"Okay, it feels right, let's take a break."

The voice of the half giant panda came from behind, but the big white wolf was already panting like a dog, and had no strength to look back.

It feels right, it's something to be happy about, but it's just a forearm—

According to the half-giant panda, this is just an attempt, and a complete exercise method requires all four limbs to do this.

With all the limbs coming like this, how could it be possible to stand still?

"Old Bai, right now this is a helpless solution...Because of my body shape, it is difficult for me to find any real exercise method for you, so I can only change the method of stance for you. I have tried it myself, and it is equally effective. Build muscle, just in a different way."

The white-haired wolf still remembered what the half-giant panda said before teaching this.

Of course, the half giant panda also said some incomprehensible words like "bench press" and "deadlift", but those have nothing to do with the big white wolf.

It just quietly felt its own muscles, felt the feeling of twisting the muscles into a rope just now.

It suddenly understood why the half-giant panda could easily kill its subordinates before.

To know that it is only exercising a forearm, it is already very exhausting——

But when the panda was training every day, he twisted the muscles of his limbs at the same time, and he never panted heavily, and never cried out that he was tired.

And this also means that its failure at that time was not due to luck, it was lost to real strength.

"What are you doing! Don't be lazy! Keep practicing!"

Seeing that the white-haired wolf was in a daze, the half giant panda on the side yelled, and the white-haired wolf continued to exercise in fright, twisting its muscles with its four claws.

Seeing the action of the big white-haired wolf, the half-giant panda shook its head secretly.

Then the person stood up and began to stand up.

For his own training, but also for the training of the white-haired wolf.

The pile is a three-body pose, and the half giant panda can stand as stable as old man Liu now. After stealing the teacher for a long time, the half giant panda has gradually understood the mystery of this exercise method.

The key point is the helix of the muscle.

Half giant pandas know the normal fitness method, which is to fatigue the muscles by moving heavy objects, and then allow the muscles to recover excessively during rest, so as to gain strength—but neither pandas nor wolves It is possible to use this method to increase strength.

The panda's paw is not a human hand, and the sesamoid bone on the paw that acts as the thumb has no joints. Although it has a certain grasping ability, it is relatively difficult to move heavy objects.

Not to mention the wolf's body, the two front paws can't even do the most basic grasp, let alone lift weights.

But the exercise method they use now is different.

Although this set of exercises does not move heavy objects, twisting the muscles can also stimulate them, and the subsequent super recovery is the same way——

And the semi-giant panda can even feel that with the progress of this kind of exercise, he can even feel a "core" gradually appearing in his condensed muscles.

That's not necessarily the real core, the half-giant panda always thinks it's just his bones, but this feeling is a little bit different.

At least since he gradually felt these "cores", his ability to control his limbs has obviously greatly increased.

"Hey, Jianguo, Lao Bai, it's time for dinner."
