"Grandpa, Long Chen is my man, and he will also be a member of the village in the future. He has the right to know this matter," Xiaohua said righteously.
After hearing what Xiaohua said, the old man stopped talking, and the others drank the porridge in their bowls in three sips and returned to the house, leaving only Long Chen and the others.
"That monster was sacrificed by us," Xiaohua said, looking into Long Chen's eyes.
"Sacrifice?" Long Chen was shocked. It was the first time he heard this word.
"Yes, your injuries were too serious at that time and you could die at any time. We had no choice but to send you to the God of the Forest.
The God of the Forest has cured you, but we need to sacrifice the rock leopard to it, which is why you can fully recover in just three days," Xiao Hanadao.
Long Chen was shocked. God actually existed in this world, which completely subverted his cognition.
"Not only that, your injuries were too serious. Except for the rock leopard, we sacrificed all the flesh and blood in the village.
Even so, we still owe a lot of flesh and blood to the God of the Forest, and we need to continue hunting to repay the debt," Xiao Hua said quietly.
Only then did Long Chen understand why the entire village only had gruel to drink and no meat.
Thinking that these strong men need to rely on flesh and blood to increase their physical strength, but for their own sake, they can only go hunting hungry, I can't help but feel sad.
"Long Chen, I'm telling you this not to make you feel guilty, but you are now a member of the village, and I think you have the right to know the truth," Xiaohua said softly, holding Long Chen's hand.
The more Xiaohua said this, the more guilty Long Chen felt. Having lived in such a cruel environment in the imperial capital for a long time, this kind of trust made people feel extremely warm.
"Can you tell me about your forest god?"
Xiaohua looked at his grandfather, saw his grandfather nodded, and then told Long Chen a fact that was like a fairy tale.
It turns out that not long after this village was established, their ancestors discovered a very magical big tree. Their ancestors were once attacked by a monster and almost died, but they fled to this big tree.
A drop of sap dripped from the big tree, and their ancestors fully recovered from their serious injuries in just half a day.
In order to express gratitude for the kindness of the big tree, they hunted a wild beast and placed it in front of the big tree as a sacrifice. They discovered that the big tree actually absorbed the beast in an instant.
From then on, whenever someone was injured, they would run to the big tree for treatment, and the big tree would heal them every time.
In order to show their respect for the big tree, they called it the God of the Forest. Soon after they sacrificed many wild animals, the big tree started to communicate with them and made a contract with them.
It can heal the wounds of people in the village, but it requires a sacrifice in return. The amount of reward depends on the severity of the injury.
This is like a doctor receiving payment, but after so many years, the God of the Forest has not received much payment.
They didn't need too many sacrifices, except for Long Chen this time. The God of the Forest offered an astonishing price before he was willing to save Long Chen.
"What does it want?" Long Chen asked.
Xiaohua looked at Long Chen, gritted her teeth and said: "Ten first-level monsters and one second-order monster."
Long Chen's expression changed. A first-level monster would require the entire village of Xiaohua to deal with it, and it would also carry great risks.
As for a second-level monster, it requires the combined efforts of several strong people in the blood coagulation realm to kill it. For Xiaohua and the others, that is an impossible task. The so-called God of the Forest is simply driving people to death.
Seeing the anger on Long Chen's face, Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Long Chen, you must not feel resentful towards the God of the Forest.
It is very fair. Over the years, no matter how many injuries we have suffered, he has never taken so much revenge. There is definitely a reason why he wants so much this time.
Besides, you are already well now. As long as we work together, I believe we can repay the debt to the God of the Forest soon.
Let alone one second-level magic beast, even if it is ten second-level magic beasts, we will agree. We can't just watch you die, wuwu..."
After talking about it, Xiao Hua fell into Long Chen's arms and cried bitterly. The old man also sighed and said:
"Long Chen, the tree god is absolutely fair. It definitely has its reasons for charging such a high amount of revenge. Don't be angry."
"I want to see the God of the Forest," Long Chen said. He wanted to find out what the God of the Forest was.
As for the price it offered, Long Chen didn't care. Now that his body had recovered, he could kill a first-level monster instantly, and he could also capture a second-level monster as long as it didn't escape.
The second level Warcraft is only equivalent to a strong human being in the blood coagulation realm, but the body of the Warcraft is too strong, and humans of the same level are no match for the Warcraft.
But who is Long Chen? Except for those who are strong in Yijin Realm, he is not afraid of any Blood Coagulation Realm. He does not like to be in debt. If he is sure that this forest god is not a liar, he wants to pay off the debt as soon as possible. In addition, he also wants to know, the so-called
God, what exactly is it?
With Grandpa Xiaohua's consent, Long Chen followed Xiaohua out of the village and headed straight for a mountain road.
Obviously Xiaohua was very familiar with this place, and she led Long Chen all the way. Xiaohua carried a bow and arrow on her back, and would stop from time to time to listen to the sounds nearby.
Sometimes he would take Long Chen to look at some of the traps set up around him to see if he had caught any wild beasts.
But what is disappointing is that I checked more than a dozen traps along the way, but none of them were triggered, and there was no harvest.
"It's really frustrating. There is no meat in the village these days. We urgently need meat to replenish our strength, otherwise it will be difficult to catch prey," Xiaohua sighed.
They are hunters, and meat is a stimulant for them. Being unable to eat meat for several days in a row will have a huge impact on their morale.
"It doesn't matter, just leave this task to me. It happened because of me, so just let me solve it," Long Chen said with a smile.
Xiaohua's face changed and she said angrily: "What are you talking about? Your business is my business and the whole village's business. How can we let you take risks alone?"
Long Chen smiled bitterly and simply shut his mouth. However, he liked the atmosphere in the village. There was no selfishness and peaceful coexistence. This was such a luxury in a world of intrigue like the Imperial Capital.
This is a beautiful place, but it is impossible for Long Chen to stay here, let alone have a baby with someone in a daze.
His life was saved by the whole village. Now because of the debt owed by the whole village, he must repay it before leaving.
"Wait a moment"
While the two were walking, Xiaohua suddenly stopped and looked at a footprint on the ground, her face becoming extremely solemn.
"A bear just came here. Judging from the size and depth of the footprints, it should be an adult bear. It must be more than one foot long. Judging from the color of the soil, it just walked through here an hour ago."
Xiaohua is indeed an experienced hunter. From one footprint, she can tell so much that the violent bear is a first-level monster, extremely violent and very difficult to deal with.
Even if they gather the strength of the whole village, they may not dare to compete with the violent bear. They dare to challenge the rock leopard. That is because although the flame leopard is extremely fast, its attack power and defense are not particularly strong.
You just need to pay attention to its movements. If there are more people, there is still a great chance to kill it.
But the violent bear is different. The violent bear is not a speed-type monster, but its defense and power are too terrifying. No matter how many they have, they have no chance of winning.
"It seems we have to take a detour," Xiaohua said cautiously.
"Why?" Long Chen was puzzled.
"Idiot, do you still need to ask? We are no match for the violent bear. Even if the whole village of warriors gather together, we don't have much chance," Xiaohua said angrily.
"Who said that?"
"You...you are really mad at me." Seeing Long Chen's dumbfounded look, Xiaohua was angry and anxious, but suddenly she looked at Long Chen with wide eyes:
"You don't want to kill the violent bear, do you?"
"That's right" Long Chen looked at Xiao Hua and said.
Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly remembered the scene when Long Chen fought against the rock leopard. At that time, Long Chen was like a god of war, unstoppable.
Later, his grandfather said that Long Chen had been seriously injured before he met Yan Bao, otherwise he might have the strength to kill Yan Bao.
Now seeing Long Chen's expression, she finally realized that Long Chen might really have the strength to kill a monster.
"Have you ever killed a first-order monster before?" Xiaohua asked tentatively.
"No"
Long Chen shook his head. This was his first time going out. He had eaten the meat of Warcraft several times, but it was all done by Ah Man.
However, Long Chen was muttering in his heart: He had never killed a first-level monster, but he had killed a lot of strong men in the blood coagulation realm.
Xiaohua shook her head and said: "Forget it then. Killing a monster does not depend on how high your cultivation level is or how powerful you are, but on timing and mastering skills. Experience is very important.
Since you have no experience in killing Warcraft, we’d better not take risks. Hunters never do anything they’re not sure of, otherwise they’ll become prey.”
"Don't do anything you're not sure about? Then when you save me, does it count?" Long Chen said with a smile.
"I hate it, you are not allowed to mention this matter in the future." Xiaohua's pretty face turned red and she raised her fist in a threatening tone.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, don't worry, I won't joke with our two lives," Long Chen said seriously.
Seeing that Long Chen suddenly became serious, his playful smile completely disappeared, giving people a very safe feeling.
I don't know why, seeing Long Chen's face made Xiaohua relax all of a sudden, and even the terrifying impression of the violent bear became much less intense.
With Xiaohua as an experienced hunter, the two of them only walked forward for more than an hour when they saw a huge natural cave ahead.
In that cave, the violent bear, who was lying on the ground and sleeping lazily, suddenly opened his huge eyes and saw two people invading the territory he had just occupied.
"Roar"
The violent bear suddenly stood up, and its huge body, which was more than one foot tall, suddenly stretched out and rushed straight towards the two of them.
Seeing the speeding explosive bear, Xiaohua's pretty face turned pale with fright. This was the first time she was exposed to a monster like this, which violated all hunter rules.
However, Xiaohua discovered that Long Chen was calm from beginning to end, and his eyes were as calm as water. When he saw the violent bear rushing towards him, he punched out with his left hand.
