Chapter 37

The time of hard training flew by like a shuttle, and before he knew it, it was five months later.

Cocoyasi Village survived several cold waves and several heavy snows, and finally shook through the severe winter, and it was the season of spring flowers blooming again.

The wind was mixed with warmth, grass buds pushed open the frozen soil, and the expansion work of the orange orchard was gradually completed.

New seedlings were being planted batch by batch, and there were a pile of things to do such as post-harvest fertilization, orchard cleaning and spraying, checking overwintering pests, and deep soil plowing. Manba and others were busy every day, and they enjoyed it.

Over the past few months, they have gradually integrated into the local atmosphere, and the villagers have gradually accepted this group of outsiders.

Compared with the days of living in fear and fighting for their lives in the Colubo Mountains, life now is simply like heaven.

If...

——Some little naughty ghost, didn't make so much trouble, that would be even better.

"Hey!"

A little orange-haired figure suddenly flashed out from behind the coconut tree, giving Fat Cow, who was carrying a bundle of orange tree seedlings from the ground, a big fright, almost flashing his waist.

"Again, Nami! Scaring people everywhere!" Fat Cow put his hands on his hips angrily, "If you do this again, I'm going to find Lord Siano to complain, let's see how he deals with you!"

A ten-year-old bear child is really annoying!

"Bleh bleh bleh~"

Nami made a face and turned to run, "My brother doesn't have that time, why don't you come and catch me yourself! Big stupid cow!"

Passing by the entrance of the village, the postman uncle who was delivering letters saw her and his eyes lit up, hurriedly stopped his bicycle, and waved to greet her.

"Wait! Nami, your package has arrived, but it's very heavy, you probably can't move it alone, why don't I help you send it over."

"Package?"

Nami was pleasantly surprised, and immediately squatted down to unpack it on the spot. Inside was a thick stack of books.

The postman lowered his head and looked over.

What "Four Seas Longitude and Latitude Atlas", "Record Pointer Craftsmanship Examination", "Complex Isobath Drawing Advanced", "Respect to Vegapunk: Seastone Application and Calm Belt Navigation"...

All of them were big books, and the book titles alone made his head dizzy.

"Are these books for you?" The postman was stunned, "Or for the adults at home?"

"They are mine, to be precise, they were all bought for me by my brother!"

Nami giggled and patted the stack of books, "The books in the village bookstore are too few, I read them all long ago. My brother often buys new books for me from other nearby towns. The quality of this batch is very high, enough for me to study for a while!"

"That's amazing, Nami."

The postman uncle gave a thumbs up and praised, "Being able to read such books at such a young age, my daughter only knows how to play wildly every day. If she could be as sensible as you, it would be great!"

Sensible?

"Yes, yes..." Nami kicked the stones with a guilty conscience, "Oh, by the way, the books are quite heavy, so uncle, you'd better send them to my house."

"Okay! That's my duty anyway."

The postman nodded with a smile.

He had been to Cocoyasi Village many times, and he was quite familiar with the terrain here.

Pushing the bicycle in front, turning left and right, before long, a warm wooden house appeared in front of him.

"Home! Bell-mère and Nojiko are not here, I guess they went to the orange orchard."

Nami pointed to the coffee table in the living room, "Uncle, please put the books here."

"Okay!"

The postman put down the books and suddenly noticed a pile of hand-drawn sea charts scattered on the sofa next to him.

Picking them up to check, the first one was the one around Cocoyasi Village, exquisite and detailed, and the quality was much better than what could be bought on the market.

"Nami, did you draw all these?"

The postman was really full of wonder this time, "Amazing! Your talent is too strong, you might become an amazing surveyor in the future!"

"That's for sure, uncle!"

Nami proudly smoothed her hair behind her ears, the movement was elegant and free, but she hadn't washed her hair for a few days, and her hand got stuck in it and it took a long time to pull it out...

"Cough... in short, my dream is more than that! My goal is to use my navigation skills to travel all over this sea, and then make a world map that I have seen with my own eyes!"

"A world map?" The postman laughed loudly, "That's really an incredible dream, but Nami, the outside world is very dangerous, there are many powerful pirates, you can't deal with them!"

"I can't beat them, but following behind my brother is enough."

Nami hummed, "He is the most famous big swordsman in the East Blue! With one sword, he split their ships in half!"

That young man named Siano?

The postman was slightly stunned.

He remembered that about half a year ago, this name was indeed famous for a while, but later there was no other news, and it gradually faded out of people's vision.

The postman couldn't help but be curious: "Where is your brother? Now that you mention it, I have been to Cocoyasi Village so many times, but I have never seen him in the village."

"He is a cultivation maniac, anyway everyone calls him that. It's strange to see him during the day. As for this time point..."

Nami poked her head out of the window and pointed to the highest mountain in the hills to the north, "Hey, did you hear the sound in the mountains?"

The postman listened carefully.

Only then did he notice that there was a muffled thunder-like sound faintly coming from the mountains, and looking carefully, he could see smoke drifting from the top of the mountain.

He was a little confused, "You mean..."

"It's my brother, right in that mountain."

Nami giggled, "Those are all sounds he made. Fortunately, the village is further south, so you can't hear it, otherwise it would have been complained about for disturbing the people."

Your brother?

The postman was stunned, is this a movement that a person can make?

Boom!

A giant rock that was five or six meters high was suddenly blasted into powder with one punch.

In the dust, the tall and strong figure of the black-haired teenager was revealed.

Siano stepped over the still-rolling gravel, the quartz particles crushed by his soles sparked blue fire, and soon crossed the position where the giant rock originally was.

He looked up at the scarred mountain in front of him.

This didn't even look like a mountain.

As far as the eye could see, the entire mountain was like being bombarded by a meteor shower, full of pits and bumps, and he didn't know how many rock cross-sections were exposed.

A tunnel running through the mountain was inserted diagonally into the peak, enough to accommodate several people to pass through at the same time. If there were not many fist bone marks left on the section, it would be like being forcibly chiseled through by a giant drill.

"The hardness is still too low."

Siano had a blank face, looking at the rock walls on both sides of the tunnel, "The metal content is already the highest among all the mountains on the island, and the rocks in the depths are also the hardest, but for me now..."

He shook his head slightly, it was gradually not enough.

Retracting his gaze, he walked forward a few steps, stepping out of the shadow of the mountain.

The afternoon sun fell on his shoulders.

His height had now reached 1.87 meters, his muscles were knotted and twisted like thick tree roots, and the density was extremely high, shining with a cold metallic luster, his shoulders were wide and terrifying, like a towering small mountain in the eyes of ordinary people.

Every time he stepped out, the mountain rocks under his feet were trembling slightly. When he passed by a big tree, he happened to step on a few mushrooms.

Siano didn't notice, but when he lifted his foot again, those mushrooms had already merged with the ground, reduced to two dimensions.

The reason is very simple.

His own weight is only 250 jin, but the black training suit on his body has added weight to a terrifying 1.6 tons.

Considering the sharp increase in pressure brought by the small area of the soles of his feet, the oppressive feeling he stepped on the ground was even better than that of an adult elephant.
