Night fell quickly, as usual, the sky above Leishi Village was still full of cooking smoke, Gu Xuyao sat at the dining table, tonight's meal was particularly rich. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)

It's just that no matter who it is, the mind is not on the dinner that consumed Xiulan's mind all afternoon.

No one spoke, absent-mindedly silent, the fragrant meal quickly cooled, and dinner ended there.

"Xu Yao, follow me. Blacksmith Zhang stood up and walked towards his workshop.

Gu Xuyao remembers that when he was a child, he liked to watch Blacksmith Zhang build all kinds of weapons in the studio, because the craftsmanship is indeed good, both old hunters and new hunters in the village like to buy weapons from Blacksmith Zhang, and the unique sawtooth and blood groove design makes the hunter's hunting twice as effective with half the effort.

His axe lay on the stone platform in front of him, tempered by the red lion's minions, and seemed to have an extra layer of ivory, and at this time the blacksmith looked at it and smiled.

"Do you remember when I helped you build this axe? The dim candle flame shone on the blacksmith's face, and the traces of the knife and axe were like the tracks of the mud that had been run over by the wheels of the car, and at this time Gu Xuyao realized that the man who had handed over his skills without reservation was already old.

"Remember, when I was seventeen years old, you opened the furnace to help me build a weapon, saying that you wanted to give me a gift as an eighteen-year-old, and you also asked me what kind of weapon I liked, and I said that I liked axes......" Gu Xuyao also laughed, three years of ruthless hunting, so that his character changed a lot, and the obsession of chasing his parents when he was a child was amplified again in the roar of blood and beasts, and now, it has almost occupied Gu Xuyao's heart.

Blacksmith Zhang lightly walked to the stone platform and removed the axe. "Xu Yao, now that I am handing over this axe to you again, this may be your last hunt, and I hope that the weapon I forged can help a hunter win the championship. ”

As he spoke, Blacksmith Zhang handed the axe to Gu Xuyao.

In front of him was something he was all too familiar with, accompanied by how many beasts he had killed. "Uncle Zhang......" wanted to speak and stopped, Gu Xuyao seemed to have a thousand words, but he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't say it. "Thank you......" In the end, it turned into these two words.

Blacksmith Zhang smiled with relief and patted Gu Xuyao on the shoulder. "Grab the axe and the necessary things and go into the forest, good game will not wait for you, I have heard that many hunters in the village are out before dinner, and if you want to win the championship, you must not be left behind." ”

Gu Xuyao nodded firmly, took the axe from Blacksmith Zhang's hand, turned around and walked towards his room.

"Xu Yao ......" Looking at Gu Xuyao's departing back, Blacksmith Zhang sighed again, and the wrinkles that were already sunken seemed to fall down again at this time.

Regarding the other necessities for entering the forest, Gu Xuyao had already prepared as early as the afternoon, although he knew that the time of the game was very late, but on weekdays, Gu Xuyao was a person who planned for a rainy day, and he had prepared some of the usual supplies needed for hunting.

The village was very quiet at night, Gu Xuyao gently walked through the entrance of the south village, and walked towards the forest he was most familiar with, and there was a slightly wrong breath in the air.

The forest near Leishi Village is the forest with the most wild beasts among the three forests in the Hongni District, and the Hongni River that crosses the forest is at the junction of the middle and upper reaches of the Hongni River, which can not only allow fishermen to fish in the middle of the river, but also allow hunters to enter the upstream to hunt river beasts.

"Hmph, are the hunters from other villages, they really came early enough......" After walking out of the village, Gu Xuyao did not skimp on his feet, and rushed to the periphery of the forest, but he did not enter the forest immediately, but lurked on the periphery of the forest, watching unfamiliar figures enter the forest, it was obvious that although the preparation time for three days was a little rushed, it could not stop the footsteps of other hunters too much.

"It's a pity that although this forest has the most powerful beasts, you are not familiar with the places where they live......" Gu Xuyao showed a sneer, turned around, and jumped into the river.

Yuan Li constitutes this world, beasts, mortals, monks, are all composed of Yuan Li, in the world of monks, Yuan Shi is a very precious and necessary resource, and the corpse of the beast in the mortal area can be broken down into Yuan Stone by some means of Guò monks, and the key to how many Yuan Shi a beast can decompose into is not the size of the body, but the strength of the ability.

......The river water at night was very cold, and the place where Gu Xuyao jumped into was the middle reach, and there were basically no fierce beasts in it, only fat fish.

"If I compare the number of Yuan Stones, then the adult Red Lion should be able to guarantee that I can at least reach the top five, but this is not enough, I need to be first. Gu Xuyao climbed ashore, tore off the bark of the trees next to him, and wiped his head dry.

This place was already inside the forest, Gu Xuyao moved forward softly, and after a while, he came to a small mound.

This mound is not high, but it covers an area of a mile, and there is a huge nest built on it, which almost occupies the small mound, and the broken stumps can still be seen all around, so it is conceivable that the owner of this mound must have had a very bad temper.

"The hornbill nest that appeared unintentionally last time didn't expect it to come in handy now......" Gu Xuyao waited with bated breath, although the red lion is a unique beast in the red mud area, but in terms of strength and weakness, compared to this hornbill, it is still far behind.

The hornbill, as the name suggests, is a bird with a rhinoceros horn, and the body of the bird resembles a stork, but unlike the elegance of the stork, the hornbill has a very short temper, especially for humans, as long as it is seen, it must be a single horn through its body to be happy.

After three years of hunting, Gu Xuyao knows very well that the hornbill should be foraging outside, and the hornbill has a very strange habit, that is, it likes to fly its prey on its own horn all the way back to the nest before it begins to enjoy it slowly, and the time when the hornbill relaxes its vigilance the most is when it is eating.

Time passed slowly, Gu Xuyao dug a small hole in the most difficult position of the small mound, due to the heavy rain yesterday, the wet and soft soil was very easy to be cut open, although this also made Gu Xuyao covered with disgusting red mud, but this position, coupled with the mustard pulp that Gu Xuyao applied to his body, was definitely enough to hide from the hornbill.

"When the time comes, I will deal a fatal blow to the hornbill with a freshly hardened axe, if not kill it on the spot, at least it will lose the ability to fly and escape, so that it can only fight me on 6 grounds, and my chances of victory will be greatly increased. ”

Gu Xuyao thought so, but things were not as smooth as Gu Xuyao expected, the hornbill had not yet returned to its nest, but Gu Xuyao waited for a "rustle" sound.

"This, this is the hornbill's nest!" the blade grass was pushed away, and then the voice spoke.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of a hornbill, even the nest is so big, second brother, we will work together, we will definitely be able to kill the hornbill, when the time comes, we will take the money back to buy delicious food for Daddy, and ask the best doctor in the village to treat Daddy!" A man's voice seemed quite excited.

"But, big brother, this nest we found by accident has left a lot of traces along the way, I'm afraid that someone will follow me, why don't you go and clean up those traces, I'll wait here for you to come back, how about it?"

"Haha, yes, yes, why did I forget this, second brother, you are here to guard, I will come when I go. After speaking, Gu Xuyao heard the sound of "rustling" again, and obviously, one of them left.

The other person stood in place without any sound, and not long after the person he called "big brother" left, the "second brother" also began to leave the hornbill nest, but according to the direction of leaving, Gu Xuyao knew that he was not leaving along the route taken by his eldest brother.

After a while, another slight sound sounded, obviously, the person who came this time was very careful, his stealth skill was not under Gu Xuyao, if it weren't for this quiet night, Gu Xuyao probably wouldn't be able to hear the sound of his actions.

Although "one person ......" is very slight, Gu Xuyao can distinguish that there is only one person, and the smell that emanates from that person Gu Xuyao knows that it is the "second brother" who left here just now!

"For the sake of one person to swallow the Yuan Stone alone, regardless of the seriously ill father in the family, did he actually kill his own brother......" Gu Xuyao narrowed his eyes, and it was not difficult to guess what happened from the order in which the two left, because the hunter himself was also the prey.

In the red mud area, most of the hunters are on the road alone, such as the two brothers Fang Cai, or the three Li brothers who are mostly related to each other in groups, of course, it is not excluded that some villages are not very good at hunting, so they can only form hunter teams and help each other to hunt.

But this kind of situation is also a last resort, Gu Xuyao still clearly remembers that the first thing Zhang Blacksmith said when he taught Gu Xuyao hunting skills was: never trust another hunter.

In fact, most hunters are instilled with this concept, so when hunting, if there is a trace of another hunter, or if you see someone else hunting, the rest of the hunters will generally leave the area, of course, there are naturally many hunters in the red mud area who take pleasure in hunting other hunters and snatching prey, these people are lurking among ordinary hunters, no one can tell the difference.

"Hmph, it seems that this second brother is not stupid......" Soon, Gu Xuyao's nose couldn't smell the smell of the person, obviously, this is the credit of mustard pulp, and soon, Gu Xuyao heard the sound of plowing the ground again, obviously, the "second brother" chose the same way as Gu Xuyao, waiting for the return of the hornbill.

Hornbills generally go out to forage from the time the sky is completely dark, because most of the beasts fall asleep at night, and the hornbills do not bother to hunt those creatures that do not move, so the hunt of hornbills will continue for a long time, until the sun is about to rise, the hornbills will bring the prey strung together back to their nests to enjoy slowly, and when the sun is fully up, it will fall asleep.
