Ruthless Seeker

The chirping of cicadas echoed around, and the chirping of birds came from the trees.

A group of teenagers moved forward carefully in the jungle.

"Be careful to keep quiet and don't scare away the prey." Liu Er reminded in a low voice.

It was a deer eating grass. It hadn't noticed that it had been spotted by a group of uninvited guests.

When the teenagers were about 10 meters away from the deer, they all pulled their bows.

"Shoot!" With Liu Er's order, several arrows flew out of the grass in an instant.

The deer heard the sound and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Several arrows shot directly into the deer's body, directly shooting the deer into a sieve.

The deer staggered forward two steps and fell unwillingly, flopping on the ground, and stopped moving after a while.

"Oh! This is the strength of the second hunting team!" Liu Wu raised his hand and shouted.

Then Liu Wu was kicked to the ground by his father.

"Damn you! What are you yelling about?" Liu Er held his forehead, his face showing five points of anger, four points of speechlessness, and one point of confusion after being frightened by Liu Wu's sudden shout.

"This is a mountain forest, full of dangers even in the morning. Do you think this is a joke?" Liu Er's words were earnest.

His son was good in every way except that he was a little crazy.

Liu Er remembered the wild boar that day. Its huge body and strong physique frightened him. He was afraid of encountering such a monster again.

"Dad, I was wrong." Liu Wu lowered his head as if he really reflected on his mistakes.

Liu Er was also very relieved to see his son admit his mistakes, but Liu Wu became lively again after a while.

"Hey! This stupid son" Liu Er thought speechlessly in his heart.

The hunting activities continued. The main target this time was medium-sized animals with offensive power. This deer could only be said to be a snack.

Due to the success of hunting deer, everyone became more confident.

They sneaked in the bushes, confidently looking for the next prey.

But reality gave them a blow, and they still didn't find the next prey until the afternoon.

In order to avoid not being able to return to the village before dark, the boy could only walk towards the village unwillingly.

"My God, are these beasts afraid of us? Why can't we see any of them?" Liu Wu said in a puzzled manner while carrying the deer.

Others were also somewhat frustrated. They originally thought that today's deer hunting was a good start, but who knew it was already the end.

While Liu Wu was still cursing, the next moment Gu Zhuo directly covered Liu Wu's mouth.

"Wait, there is prey!" Gu Zhuo whispered.

The next moment, everyone was on guard. Liu Er showed a surprised expression. He had just discovered a bear in the distance, but he didn't expect Gu Zhuo to be faster than him.

With such insight, Gu Zhuo's impression in Liu Er's heart has been raised to a higher level.

After a while, the teenagers also found the black bear.

This black bear is an adult, with an estimated body length of 2 meters, covered with black hair, very strong, and gives people a sense of oppression.

In order to improve the accuracy of archery, the hunting team still adopted the method of gradual approach.

This time the team members clearly felt the pressure. After all, this was an adult black bear, and the pressure was far beyond that of a deer.

Some team members even trembled.

When they were only 15 meters away from the black bear. A team member, Zhang Lang, suddenly stepped on a branch and broke it.

"Crack"

For a moment, all the team members could only think of one word.

"Finished"

The black bear was alert when it heard the sound. It stared at the direction of the sound, as if looking for the source of the sound.

Zhang Lang made a mistake and became even more panicked. He raised his head and looked directly at the black bear.

The next moment, the black bear roared and directly shook the birds on the tree away.

For a moment, there was a cry of birds.

The black bear rushed directly to Zhang Lang, and the predator's momentum burst out instantly.

Zhang Lang quickly retreated and pulled the bow, but the arrow he shot with all his strength was flexibly dodged by the black bear.

At the critical moment, Liu Wu stood up suddenly, the 120-pound bow was pulled into a full moon, and the arrow flew out quickly, with the sound of wind, and the next moment it hit the black bear's hind leg.

The black bear felt pain, lost balance, and fell to the ground, making close contact with the earth.

The black bear struggled to get up, but the next moment an arrow shot through its hind legs.

It was Gu Zhuo, the 200-pound bow had such a terrifying attack power.

The Cui brothers also jumped out of the bushes, and two arrows flew directly to the black bear's eyes.

The black bear wanted to dodge, but due to the injury on its leg, it was blocked from dodging. One arrow hit the eye, and the other arrow hit the back.

The black bear howled in pain, blood flowed from its eyes, and the hair on its back and hind legs had been stained red by the blood.

At this time, other people reacted and quickly started shooting arrows at the black bear, and the black bear became a sieve.

The black bear struggled in pain, and its body was full of arrows. Although it was blind in one eye, it still stared at these hunters with the other eye, showing the arrogance of a high-level predator.

After a while, the light in the black bear's eyes disappeared.

At once, everyone was relieved. Seeing the black bear finally dead, they did not feel the excitement of completing the mission, but only the emotion and relief of surviving the disaster.

"We won! A complete success!" Liu Wu laughed heartlessly.

The Cui brothers remained silent.

"Are you okay?" Gu Zhuo walked to Zhang Lang and held out his hand.

"It's okay, thank you! Thank you!" Zhang Lang was shaking all over and sweating as he sat on the ground.

Zhang Lang grabbed Gu Zhuo's hand and stood up slowly.

"Be more careful next time." Gu Zhuo patted him on the back.

Zhang Lang's father is the only blacksmith in the village. If you improve your relationship with Zhang Lang, you might be able to learn some blacksmithing skills from his father. These basic skills can also be used when refining weapons in the future.

Watching this hunt, Liu Er was also frightened.

What follows is pride in his outstanding son. At the critical moment, his son did not miss a beat.

"Take the prey and return to the village quickly." Liu Er ordered quickly as the sun was about to set.

A group of people returned to the village and began to sort out the harvest. This time we harvested a deer and an adult black bear.

A total of about 300 kilograms of meat, a bear skin, a deer skin, and some animal internal organs and sinews.

The animal skin was severely damaged, after all, it was shot by a group of people, but it was still barely usable.

Most of the meat is stored in grain depots and used together with most of the grain for distribution during the winter.

The skin is used to make clothes and armor, and the sinews are used to make bows and arrows.

"You performed very well in this trial! Let's start distributing rewards now." The village chief came in person to distribute rewards to everyone.

Gu Zhuo, Liu Wu, and the Cui brothers all got 2 pounds of meat. As an encouragement to complete the task, other members also received a pound of meat.

Each of the young people in the village was carrying a piece of meat. The young people were drooling looking at the meat, looking forward to the feast tonight.

After all the teenagers went home, the village chief called Liu Er alone to the village meeting room.

"By the way, the third hunting team is about to be formed. You will also have opponents." The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

"Who is leading them?" Liu Er asked doubtfully.

"It's Huang Jin from the previous generation's hunting team." The old village chief exhaled a puff of smoke.

"What! It's Uncle Huang! He's already 60 and retired, and his son just died in the mountains and forests not long ago. How can we give him this task?" Liu Er slapped the table and stood up.

Huang Jin is Huang Ming's father and the captain of the hunting team of the previous generation. Led the previous generation hunting team to achieve brilliant results. He is also a person of the same generation as the old village chief.

The old village chief looked at the sunset outside the window and said nothing for a long time.

After a while, the village chief said: "It was Lao Huang who came to me. When I was still worrying about the formation of the third hunting team, he came to the door and took the initiative to apply to me to join the hunting team. He didn't want to spend his old age like this. , his son was killed by a wild beast, and he wanted revenge."

Huang Jin's wife died young, so he single-handedly raised Huang Ming and taught him what he had learned throughout his life. After Huang Ming's death, the once bustling house became deserted, and Liu Er often heard sighs coming from Huang Jin's room.

Liu Er fell into deep silence when he heard this. He felt deeply. Huang Ming was his brother since childhood, and his death also brought a huge blow to Liu Er.

Finally, Liu Er said solemnly: "I know..."
