Chapter 54 A Deer That Has Become a Spirit
"—General, if I may be frank, with our current meat reserves, it's simply impossible to get all our soldiers to train in martial arts!"
"Practicing martial arts isn't just about eating a lot; it's about eating meat. If they can't eat enough meat to make up for their body's deficiencies, they'll just ruin themselves in the end!"
When Luo Ke suggested to Lu Xiong that all the soldiers should train in martial arts with him, Lu Xiong vehemently objected.
Seeing the confusion in Rock's eyes, Lu Xiong sighed helplessly and explained, "General, how do you think I became a master of Ming Jin? It's all about eating meat!"
"To be honest, the Black Tiger Fist I practice isn't a very good martial art at all. It's just a farming skill at best. To really master it, you don't need anything complicated; you just need to eat a lot, especially a lot of meat!"
"When I was practicing boxing, in order to formally enter the field and generate power, I had to eat at least eight pounds of meat every day, and I had to take a medicinal bath every night and take special herbal soup. It was through these methods that I was able to successfully enter the field."
At this point, a look of reminiscence suddenly appeared on his face, and he sighed somewhat helplessly.
"Back then, there was a junior brother who practiced martial arts with me. Unlike my family, which was quite wealthy, he came from a poor family. When Master took him in, he told him that, but he insisted on practicing martial arts."
"Unfortunately, he only trained for less than half a year before his health collapsed due to insufficient nutrition. If my master hadn't quickly prepared medicine to save his life, he probably would have died on the spot!"
"From then on, he had no choice but to leave and honestly go and do other jobs."
I see. So it seems that Rock really can't get the whole army to practice martial arts together right now.
He had originally planned to have everyone train with Lu Xiong and then build a Ming Jin Legion!
Although he felt that a Ming Jin master who fought alone wasn't that powerful, since they couldn't even withstand a musket, if there were more masters like that, the energy level on the battlefield would definitely undergo a qualitative change.
Not to mention anything else, once you become a master of Ming Jin, you can load your musket faster than others, not to mention the huge advantage in bayonet fighting.
But he really didn't expect that martial arts practitioners would need to consume so much every day. Recalling the huge bowl that Lu Xiong usually used for meals, and his amazing appetite that could be equivalent to three of his own, Rock suddenly realized that this was the result of Lu Xiong saving food!
Seeing the helpless look on Rock's face, Lu Xiong also said helplessly, "So, Master, if you really want to train more experts, you might as well select a few of your most trusted soldiers, prepare enough food and medicine for them, and then let them train with me."
"The Black Tiger Fist doesn't have many other advantages, except that it's simple and easy to learn. As long as the person practicing it isn't stupid and can get enough food, even the most ordinary farmer can easily master it!"
Rock nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, in that case, I'll select ten soldiers to train with you first. Then we'll form these ten into a special unit and keep them for use in critical moments."
He thought about it and realized that although he couldn't realize his dream of a full-fledged warrior legion, if he could just train a small team similar to a special forces unit, it might still play a significant role in battle.
He didn't know much about special operations, but he could learn these things gradually.
For this group of Ming Jin martial artists with superhuman physical abilities, as long as they master the combat methods of special forces, they can definitely become the most powerful special forces unit.
At that time, needless to say, just in terms of carrying capacity alone, they will be able to crush any special forces unit that Rock had before his time travel.
Just as Rock was thinking this and preparing to select ten men from the Youth Guard for training, suddenly, a cavalryman who had gone out hunting ran in excitedly, gesturing wildly and saying, "General, come and see! Look what good stuff we've caught outside!"
"My goodness, this is the biggest deer I've ever seen in my life!"
Ah, what are they fighting over that's making these cavalry so excited?
Without hesitation, Rock took Lu Xiong and rushed outside. He then saw an astonishing mountain of flesh lying on the open ground in front of the stronghold.
"Holy crap, what is that? A moose?"
Upon seeing this enormous mountain of flesh, he finally understood why the cavalry were so excited. It was the first time he had ever seen such a large deer; it was even bigger than a cow!
A group of cavalrymen didn't know how they had managed to drag the deer back. At this moment, all the men were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, as were their warhorses.
Judging from the looks of it, they must have relied on several warhorses to drag this thing back by sheer force.
Rock quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the deer. The more he looked, the more incredible he felt.
This thing is definitely not a moose. He had never heard of moose in Northeast China. In his mind, moose were a specialty of North America, and this thing didn't look much like a moose either.
If I had to say—
Why does this thing look like an oversized idiot?
For a moment, Rock doubted his judgment. If he didn't consider the size of the thing, it looked to him like a stupid bastard. But what kind of stupid bastard could grow to be such a big lump?
"How exactly did you manage to get your hands on this thing? Where did you find it?"
Rock asked the cavalryman who had rushed over to report the news. The cavalryman was still somewhat immersed in his huge hunting harvest and couldn't pull himself out of it, laughing like a 200-pound child.
"Oh, right, Master! We hunted this deer in this back mountain. We knew there was a large animal in the area from the footprints, but we never expected it to grow this big!"
The cavalryman's face was full of excitement as he gestured and said, "When we first saw this big guy, we were all startled, but when the big guy saw us, he was also startled and ran away."
"Don't let its large size fool you, this thing is incredibly fast. On the contrary, it's faster than our warhorses, and not just by a little bit. I'm certain that no warhorse could ever catch this deer!"
As Rock listened, the more he heard, the more fantastical it seemed. How could such a large animal run so fast? How sturdy must its body be?
Whether it's a long-distance run or a short burst of speed, if this thing can reach that speed, then it's already very unscientific.
Although warhorses aren't actually the fastest animals, there are very few animals that can far surpass them in speed.
Moreover, most of these animals are relatively small, such as antelopes, and he had no idea that any huge deer could run so fast.
"If that's the case, then how exactly did you manage to get your hands on this thing? Don't tell me you chased it all the way here and eventually wore it down!"
The cavalryman shook his head, a look of disbelief on his face, and said with a laugh, "Haha, General, you must be joking. We can't even catch a glimpse of this thing, not even on horseback. How could we possibly chase it all the way and wear it down?"
"The main problem is that this thing is really like a complete idiot, so incredibly stupid. We missed our shots at first and thought it had gotten away, but after a short while, this big oaf actually came back. It seemed to want to see what made the gunshot!"
"And then, seeing it run back, we quickly raised our guns and aimed them at its head. Everyone stood together and fired wildly, and that's how we killed it!"
Okay, looking at it this way, he really is a fool.
Hearing such familiar actions, Rock was speechless for a moment. There aren't many animals that can be this stupid.
But what's wrong with the silly baby in this world? How did it grow to be so big?
Just as Rock was still filled with astonishment, even wondering if this thing had eaten something it shouldn't have and accidentally mutated, Lu Xiong suddenly widened his eyes and said uncertainly, "Hey, Commander! I think I know what this thing is!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is indeed a bastard, but it's a sentient bastard, which is why it's so big!"
It's become a spirit?
Just as Luo Ke was about to say that spirits would not be allowed after the founding of the nation, he suddenly realized that the current timeline had not yet reached the future.
Looking back, he seemed to have heard some rumors about spirits and monsters before. Many places had legends of all sorts of strange mountain spirits and monsters, but he didn't really pay much attention to these rumors at the time.
After all, this kind of thing is everywhere, not to mention now, even in the 21st century. Who knows if it's real or fake?
Lu Xiong didn't notice the doubt in Luo Ke's eyes. At this moment, his eyes were full of excitement, as if he had suddenly found some great treasure.
"General, this is a real treasure! I once heard my master say that the flesh of these demons is incredibly nutritious!"
"No matter what kind of monster's meat it is, it is an unparalleled tonic for martial artists. Eating a small piece of meat a day can be equivalent to consuming several kilograms of ordinary meat. Eating more can further strengthen the body."
"Haha, General, you're really lucky. Ordinary martial artists don't have the means to eat demon beast meat when practicing. Usually, only those in the imperial palace and some powerful families can afford it. You either have to rely on luck to see if you have the chance to kill one and whether you're willing to sell it for money."
