In Qingyun Continent, deep in the mountains and forests northeast of Hushan Fishing Port, dim candlelight flickered in a wooden house. Inside, a young girl stood in front of a thatched bed, covered in sweat.
At this time, it was pouring rain outside.
"Xiao Min, how are you?" The door of the wooden house was opened, and an old man with white hair and beard walked in. His raincoat was full of rainwater, and he was holding two bloody hares in his hand.
This old man is none other than Zhou Cang, the old hunter who rescued Mu Xuan yesterday, and the girl who is constantly treating Mu Xuan at the bedside is his daughter, Zhou Min.
"Father, you are back. He is still not awake, but his life is no longer in danger." The girl turned her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to Zhou Cang with a sweet smile.
"If you can survive after fighting the Black Wind Leopard, you are lucky..." The old man's voice was low, as if he had something on his mind.
"The Black Wind Leopard was killed, so my brother..." When mentioning the Black Wind Leopard who was cut in half by Bing Muxuan that day, Zhou Min also felt lonely.
If the Black Wind Leopard could not be captured alive, I am afraid that the girl's brother Zhou Yu and their father and daughter would not survive for more than half a month.
But thinking about it on the other hand, even if the Black Wind Leopard is not dead, with the ability of the old hunter Zhou Cang, there is no hope of catching it alive. If he is found, he will only be killed, and he will die no matter what.
"Hey, Xiao Min, go and clean up these two hares first. They've been hungry all night."
"Yes." Zhou Min obediently took the hare, then turned and walked towards a small "kitchen" in the corner of the house.
Zhou Cang took off his raincoat and sat down on the chair. Looking at Zhou Min's back, he couldn't help but think of his youngest son, Zhou Yu, who was trapped in the clutches of the devil.
Half a month ago, Tianqi, the leader of the Fengji City in the north of the mountain forest, heard about the Black Wind Leopard in the city, so he sent people to ask Zhou Cang to capture it alive for his own enjoyment and to keep a powerful monster as a pet. He has always been a high-ranking person.
hobbies.
Zhou Cang refused to agree to Zhang Tianwei's request because he knew the strength of the Black Wind Leopard.
Seeing Zhou Cang's refusal, the furious city lord's guards took away Zhou Cang's fifteen-year-old son Zhou Yu, and warned Zhou Cang that if the Black Wind Leopard could not be captured alive within half a month, Zhou Yu would be the first to die.
Then it will be their father and daughter's turn.
Now there are only five days left before the half-month appointment, and now the last hope has been shattered by this unknown young man. Zhou Cang really doesn't know what to do.
"Ahem..." Just as Zhou Cang frowned and thought, Mu Xuan suddenly coughed several times on the thatched bed.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Min, who was preparing to cook the hare, immediately ran over to observe. Mu Xuan, who was covered with wounds, was covered with an animal skin. His face was pale and he looked very weak.
"Kill...kill..."
The groggy Mu Xuan kept repeating these words, so scared that Zhou Min hid far away.
"Ahem..." Just as Zhou Cang and Zhou Min looked at Mu Xuan with surprise on their faces, Mu Xuan suddenly slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was the dilapidated roof of the wooden house.
"I...where is this?" Mu Xuan struggled to sit up. He found that his God-killing Sword and Crystal Long Sword were gone, and two strangers with complicated eyes were standing in front of him.
"Are you looking for...them...?" Zhou Min mustered up the courage, pointed at the two swords in the corner, and asked in a low voice to Mu Xuan, who was looking around.
"Yes...ahem..."
"Lie down and talk first. Don't worry, we are not bad people." Zhou Cang, who has always been kind-hearted, couldn't help but said when he saw Mu Xuan's weak appearance. Even though he still couldn't tell whether Mu Xuan was a good person or a bad person.
"Well..." After Mu Xuan replied in a low voice, he lay directly back on the thatched bed, looking very weak.
At this moment, Mo Yu Pendant, which had been lifeless since Mu Xuan was trapped on the bottom of the sea, suddenly emitted a faint green light.
Zhou Cang and his daughter did not notice this.
"Xiao Min, you can continue to treat him. I'll go outside and take a look."
"But it's almost midnight, Dad. There's no need to go hunting anymore!" Zhou Min asked nervously as soon as he heard that his father was going out again.
"I want to see if there are any other Black Wind Leopards."
"Father…"
After Zhou Cang said that, he pushed open the door and walked out. Looking at his father's stooped back, Zhou Min's eyes flashed. She knew that there was only one black leopard in the entire mountain forest, and her father did this just to give her a baby.
Just hope.
Looking at Mu Xuan who fell asleep just after waking up, Zhou Min felt very complicated.
After a night of silence, Zhou Cang weakly returned to the wooden house carrying several wild animals on his back in the early morning of the next morning. By then, the rain had stopped, and everything in the mountains and forests exuded an intoxicating fresh breath.
"Father, he seems to have recovered..." Zhou Min ran out and took the prey from his father's back, and whispered to Zhou Cang.
"What?" Zhou Cang was not sure about his daughter's words. How could he recover so quickly after being injured like that?
Just when Zhou Cang was confused, Mu Xuan pushed open the door and walked out. He was wearing the animal skin clothes Zhou Min had found for him, which were his brother Zhou Yu's clothes.
"Thank you for your help." Mu Xuan went out and thanked Zhou Cang directly.
"You...how..."
