The dark forest is as green as a pool of clear water.
The three teenagers were lurking quietly in this jungle, with almost no aura on their bodies.
Three eyes hidden in the big trees were firmly locked into the distance.
There, a clouded leopard lay quietly on a thick tree branch extending outward, its snake-like soft body clinging to the trunk of the tree, its particularly huge front paws ready to pounce down from the tree at any time.
posture.
Finally, a group of red deer slowly passed by under the tree. They looked around and were on guard. But they never thought that there was a fatal crisis right above their heads.
Suddenly, the clouded leopard on the tree moved, and it suddenly pounced down. Its sharp teeth and claws opened at this moment, and it pounced hard on the target.
The red deer around were frightened. They spread their hooves and ran as fast as they could, and in a moment they had fled without a trace.
The clouded leopard did not continue to chase because it had already obtained its prey.
A young red deer whose throat was torn open by a clouded leopard twitched a few times on the ground and never moved again.
The clouded leopard dragged the calf with satisfaction, as if it wanted to return to its nest.
However, at this moment, three meteor-like long arrows suddenly shot out from the distance.
These three arrows were as powerful as a rainbow and as fast as lightning. The clouded leopard was hit and fell to death before it even had the thought of evading.
There were arrow tails stuck in its eyes and mouth respectively. These three arrows hit the clouded leopard's eyes and mouth at the same time. No matter how strong the clouded leopard's vitality was, it would be killed on the spot.
The three teenagers put away their folding bows and walked over from a distance.
Yu Weihua stepped forward and kicked the clouded leopard and said: "Haotian, today's harvest is good, I actually caught a leopard."
Zheng Haotian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "What I want is bear meat, or wolf meat is fine. A leopard... is better than nothing."
Yu Weihua shook his head, and the three people prepared a stretcher, lifted up the clouded leopard and the little red deer, and walked towards the outside of the mountain.
Three months have passed since they returned from their last trip to Yubao Pass. During this period, the three brothers were on tenterhooks and were ready to adapt at any time. But to their relief, no news reached this place at all.
As time passed, the worries in their hearts faded away.
Although the two sacks of Spot-tailed Sandpipers have been eaten in the past three months, Zheng Haotian never mentioned that he would go to Yubaoguan to purchase again.
Anyway, bear meat and wolf meat can also increase the heat flow in the body. Although the functions of these two beast meats are not the same as those of spotted-tailed snipe, and the effect of increasing them is getting weaker and weaker now, but eating them is better than not eating them at all.
Good.
The place where they were hunting this time was already some way away from Dalin Village, but to them, this distance was nothing. An hour later, the three people, who were walking as fast as flying, had successfully arrived at Dalin Village at the foot of the mountain.
among.
The leopard and red deer were carried to the Zheng family yard, which naturally attracted admiration from the villagers along the way.
In the past, people in the village would go into the mountains to hunt in groups, but since the three little guys obtained the right to hunt in the mountains, they formed a small group and were separated from the larger troops in the village.
However, the abundance of prey obtained by this small group was not inferior to the more than 20 young adults in the village. Naturally, people were amazed and envious.
However, what everyone praised was that the three little guys were very sensible. Every time they got prey, they just removed the meat from the prey. As for the most valuable things such as skins and bones, they sold some of them to others.
Every household.
Such a generous act was naturally praised by everyone.
However, they don't know that these things are nothing in the eyes of Zheng Haotian and the other three people today.
The background of two thousand taels of silver is definitely not something that people in the mountains can imagine.
As for Yu Weihua and Lin Ting, their biggest goal when hunting in the mountains is to train themselves and become hunters as soon as possible.
Lin Ting, in particular, has a stubborn attitude towards becoming a hunter because he once promised a certain girl that when he was promoted to a hunter, he would marry her in a glamorous manner.
As soon as they put the two animals away, they heard a hearty laughter coming from inside the house: "Look, the three of them are back."
The three of them looked up and saw Zheng Chenglian and Yu Jiansheng walking out accompanied by a middle-aged man with smiles on their faces.
This is a strong man, with broad shoulders, a tall body, and as strong as a wall.
Lin Ting's eyes lit up, and he immediately dropped the wooden stick in his hand and shouted: "Uncle, you are here."
Yu Weihua and Zheng Haotian nodded quickly and greeted: "Uncle Lin, you are back."
This person was Lin Baohua, who was born in Dalin Village and later joined the Qiu family, one of the four major families in Pianxi City.
He and Yu Jiansheng practiced martial arts at the same time, but the paths they ultimately chose were different. However, it was precisely because of his service in the Qiu family that even Wan Yifu from Wanjia Village did not dare to do too much to Dalin Village.
Harsh.
Lin Baohua nodded slowly, looked at the three of them twice, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, you three have grown up and become men."
Lin Ting took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Baohua. Although they, uncle and nephew, met less and dispersed more, their relationship with each other was quite deep.
Lin Baohua punched Lin Ting hard on the shoulder, laughed and said: "What a good boy, you have a bit of your father's demeanor back then."
A hint of pride flashed in Lin Ting's eyes, but then dimmed.
Lin Baohua sighed softly, knowing that he was thinking of his deceased parents, and felt quite uncomfortable.
Shaking his head, Lin Baohua said loudly: "You all can come over."
Yu Weihua and Zheng Haotian walked up with smiles. Yu Weihua even extended his hand and said, "Uncle Lin, where are the gifts for us?"
Every time Lin Baohua came back, he would bring a gift for the three of them, from childhood to adulthood, without exception.
Yu Jiansheng frowned and was about to scold him when he saw Lin Baohua's face suddenly changed and said: "I didn't bring the gift, but I brought some bad news." His voice suddenly turned cold and he said: "You three
I went to Yubaiguan a few months ago and asked me, what exactly did I do?"
The expressions of Zheng Haotian and the other three people suddenly changed. They exchanged glances and looked at the serious faces of the three elders. They immediately knew that they had understood the reason.
Lin Baohua sighed and said: "You three little guys are so brave, you actually killed two of the Peng brothers one after another, huh."
Yu Weihua scratched his neck and said: "Uncle Lin, I killed both of them..."
"I killed him." Lin Ting interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "I set the trap."
Just as Zheng Haotian was about to speak, he heard Lin Baohua say angrily: "Fart, Peng Jialong is a well-known junior hunter in Yubaguan, how can you two kill him?" The old man's eyes turned and fell on Zheng Haotian's head.
, scolded: "I have already asked about the reason. This matter is indeed their own death. I am not bothered by you killing people, but you three little fools, why don't you eradicate the root cause..."
The three teenagers looked at each other in shock. Lin Baohua's words shocked them too.
It turned out that what bothered Uncle Lin was not that they had killed anyone, but that they had not eradicated the root cause.
Lin Baohua sighed softly and said: "Peng Jialong has been promoted to the junior hunter level a few years ago. His master is Xue Guili, a famous idle warrior in that area. Now Peng Jiabao has found this person and found out your whereabouts. No,
The day is coming soon."
"High-level hunter?" Zheng Haotian and the others were really frightened this time.
If it is a junior hunter, they will not be afraid of so many people here. But if the visitor has the cultivation level of a high-level hunter, then everything will be completely different.
"Uncle, how did you know?" Lin Ting's heart moved slightly and he asked.
Lin Baohua said coldly: "Last night, the chief steward of Qiu Mansion told me and asked me to come here to inform you." He gave Zheng Haotian a meaningful look and said: "Steward Qiu said that you can resolve this matter.
no?"
Zheng Haotian was slightly startled. His eyes moved to his father, and then he nodded slowly and said, "As long as we can lay a trap and let him stay where he is for a breath, I can deal with him."
If you want to kill a high-level hunter, you have to use the ancestral machine beast, and you have to stop the person's actions for a breath before you can kill him.
Lin Baohua frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, has the matter about the machine beast been spread?"
Zheng Chenglian smiled bitterly and said: "Probably not, but the Qiu family is huge, hey..."
Lin Baohua pondered for a while and said: "No matter how the Qiu family knew about this, since they informed me of the news, they meant to show their good will. We don't need to worry for the time being."
Yu Weihua finally couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Uncle Lin, when will Xue Guili arrive?"
Lin Baohua said coldly: "Steward Qiu said that he will definitely be able to arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Hehe, since this person wants to come to our Dalin Village, let him come back without any return."
A trace of Ling Ran's evil aura emanated from his body, causing Zheng Haotian and the other three to shiver at the same time.
Lin Baohua has been outside for many years, and his decisive and murderous attitude is very different from that of Yu Jiansheng.
However, none of them expected that what the Qiu family was referring to was not actually the machine beast, but the Wanbaoxuan in Pianxi City.
High-level hunters are certainly unattainable in their eyes, but among behemoths like Wanbaoxuan and the Qiu family, they are no more than that.
However, the speaker was vague and the listener had some misunderstandings in his mind. As a result, misunderstandings occurred one after another.
Ps: I’m going out tonight, so I’ll post the first chapter early this afternoon, sweat...
