Chapter 31: Orion

"Who are you!" suddenly came a roar from outside the door.

Shi Ming was blowing hot air, and an abrupt shout suddenly startled Shi Ming.

Shi Ming's hand holding the broth couldn't help but tremble, and he drank a mouthful of hot soup into his mouth.

"Poof!" Shi Ming spit out the hot broth in his mouth and fanned his mouth back and forth with his hand.

There was a dark figure standing at the door, unable to see clearly, but holding a spear-like weapon in his hand, pointing at Shi Ming.

Shi Ming ran the Wind Technique, hurriedly rushed out of the house, saved a piece of fresh snow and put it in his mouth.

The figure saw Shi Ming disappear into the room in an instant, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly turned around, seeing Shi Ming not far away constantly picking up snowflakes from the ground and stuffing them into his mouth.

A cold steel spear pointed at Shi Ming's head, "Kid, what are you!"

"Woo......" Shi Ming hurriedly waved his hand while pointing to his mouth.

"Phew!" Shi Ming spit out the snow in his mouth and said vaguely: "Uncle, don't be impulsive! Uncle, don't be impulsive!"

The figure looked like a middle-aged man, dressed as a hunter in the mountains and forests. stared at Shi Ming a few times, and felt that Shi Ming didn't look like a bad person, so he put away the steel spear.

"Kid, what are you doing in my house?" the uncle asked.

"Uncle, I got lost in this mountain forest, I couldn't stand the wind and cold, and I saw a house in this mountain forest, thinking that it was used as a temporary resting place for the people in this mountain, so I went to your house. Shi Ming groped in his arms.

"Uncle, look. Shi Ming handed a crumpled map to his uncle.

The uncle stared at Shi Ming for a few moments and took the map.

"I'm really lost, uncle. Shi Ming looked at the steel fork next to his head, carefully saved a piece of fresh snow on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The uncle stared at Shi Ming while glancing at the crumpled map in his hand.

"Uncle, do you know the map?"

The uncle nodded and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Jiuxing. Shi Ming replied.

"Jiuxing?" the uncle was slightly stunned, "But this is not the place of Jiuxing County." ”

"Huh?" Shi Ming was slightly stunned and muttered, "It shouldn't be, the valley is out of the territory of Jiuxing County?"

"At your young age, you can't be deceived, right?" Seeing that Shi Ming didn't have any non-dangerous actions, the uncle carried the steel fork behind his back.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside. The uncle patted the snowflakes on his body.

Shi Ming followed the uncle back to the house.

"This meat stew is very fragrant. The uncle stabbed a piece of meat in the pot with the short knife on his body, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "It's just not tasteful." ”

The uncle fumbled in his arms for a long time, took out a small packet of salt, and sprinkled it in.

"You little doll, you can run here from Jiuxing County on such a cold day. The uncle laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of encountering some man-eating beasts and monsters in this mountain forest?"

Shi Ming shook his head, "I'm very lucky. ”

"It's useless to be lucky, the key is that you have to have the strength to do it. The uncle turned the short knife in his hand twice.

"Almost, this venison is delicious. The uncle put the pot at the door, "Eat it cold first." ”

"Kid, where do you think you're going?" the uncle spread the map on the table.

"Well, here. Shi Ming pointed to a place.

"I don't know either, but these villages should be in the territory of Jiuxing County. In this way, I will send you to the territory of Jiuxing County in two days," the uncle said.

"Okay, okay, thank you, uncle. By the way, uncle, what's your last name?" Shi Ming said.

"I, my surname is Liu, just call me Uncle Liu. Uncle said.

Shi Ming nodded, "Speaking of Uncle Liu, you won't be here to hunt on this cold day." ”

"Yes, do you see the meat hanging on the wall, this is all the prey I have been hunting for the past two days. Uncle Liu sighed lightly, "Although demon hunters can help us kill demon beasts, some demon hunters are similar to demon beasts." ”

"Huh?" Shi Ming was slightly stunned.

"The meat is for the demon hunters in the village. Uncle Liu stared at the stove and sighed, "It's just ......"

Shi Ming saw Uncle Liu's sad face, so he didn't say anything, but walked straight to the door and brought the pot back.

"Eat, Uncle Liu. Shi Ming scooped up a piece of delicious venison and ate it.

"Eat, I'll take you back to the village when you're done." Uncle Liu looked at Shi Ming's gobbling up and muttered, "It's better to be a child, I don't have any troubles." ”

......

Shi Ming carried a large piece of venison on his back and walked behind Uncle Liu.

"Kid, keep up, it's too dangerous in this woods. If a man-eating demon beast rushes out, are you afraid?" Uncle Liu turned his head to look at Shi Ming.

"Demon beasts, I specialize in killing demon beasts. Shi Ming's expression was grim.

"Hahaha, the little hairy boy can brag. Uncle Liu laughed.

"Really, I'm here to kill monsters. Shi Ming shook the long black knife in his hand.

"You can't be a demon hunter, right?" Uncle Liu looked at Shi Ming.

Shi Ming nodded heavily, with a serious look.

"Haha, little hairy boy, do you know that demon hunters are all over sixteen years old. Those adults who are as big as you dare not come to this mountain forest to exercise. Uncle Liu said, "How old are you?"

"I'll be thirteen after the New Year. Shi Ming shook the venison behind him, "I said Uncle Liu, have you finished eating so much?"

"I eat? no, no, no, this is for the Demon Hunter. Uncle Liu let out a long sigh, "Child, the demon hunter listens to the scenery, but in fact, he can lose his life at any time." ”

"It's the best, live your life honestly, marry a daughter-in-law, take care of your parents, a family is better than anything else. Uncle Liu looked at Shi Ming, "And there are some demon hunters, no less harmful than demon beasts." ”

"Hmm, aren't the demon hunters here to help the villagers get rid of the demon beasts?" Shi Ming was slightly stunned.

"Yes, but some demon hunters don't take us villagers seriously, and they don't deserve to be looked at at at them at all!" Uncle Liu took a sip lightly, "What!"

"We offer the demon hunters as ancestors, they eat and drink well, and the demon hunters are not happy at all. Moreover, some demon hunters can't beat demon beasts, and when they come back, they hear some villagers say two cool words behind their backs, so they directly kill the villagers!" Uncle Liu looked at Shi Ming, "If we don't respect demon hunters, one of them will be unhappy and leave directly, and we have no choice but to offer others as ancestors." ”

"So, demon hunters aren't very popular?" Shi Ming asked.

"That's right, some demon hunters are okay, they can help the village get rid of the invading demon beasts, but some demon hunters go to villages where there is no threat of demon beasts, don't you say this is tossing the villagers?" Uncle Liu sighed, "But we can't say anything, we can't say that there are no demon beasts in the village, let's drive people away." If another demon beast comes one day, and people don't protect us, we won't be dumbfounded. ”

Shi Ming nodded, thinking of the village he had sheltered before, the village chief did respect him very much, even though he was very young.

"These venisons are all for the demon hunters from the village to eat, why don't they have a mouthful. Uncle Liu looked at Shi Ming, "You have eaten a lot of my venison, and when the time comes, the demon hunters will not have enough to eat, so I will give you to the demon hunters, I heard that some demon hunters specialize in using children as bait." ”

"Well, Uncle Liu must protect me when the time comes. Shi Ming scratched his head.

"Well, as long as you are obedient. Uncle Liu laughed.

A roar of demon beasts suddenly came out of the mountains and forests not far away.

Uncle Liu's face was panicked, and he hurriedly blocked in front of Shi Ming.

"Kid, hide, there's a monster around here!" Uncle Liu kept looking around, holding the steel fork tightly in his hand.

Not far away, a demon beast suddenly popped out, roaring and running towards the two.

Shi Ming's vitality was surging, and when he was about to make a move, a figure suddenly jumped out behind the demon beast.

A black spear swept across, and the strong air currents were clearly visible in the heavy snow.

The demon beast was swept by this strong air current, and rolled uncontrollably to the ground.

The figure behind the demon beast gradually became clearer, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long cyan cloth tied to his forehead.

The demon beast was about to escape, but it kicked its hind legs, but it couldn't exert its strength, and its body staggered and fell to the spot again.

The demon beast knew that its hind legs had been wounded, and it would not be able to escape for a while, so it turned its head to the figure, ready to fight back.

A roar came from the beast's mouth.

Shi Ming didn't know when he stood beside Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu glanced at Shi Ming, and hurriedly pulled Shi Ming behind him, "It's too dangerous, kid, you hide behind me." ”

Shi Ming looked at Uncle Liu's broad back, but still tilted his head to look ahead.

"This demon beast has entered the realm of the mortal triple heaven, and that person should have entered the realm of the mortal quadruple heaven, but it is still so difficult to raise this demon beast to a realm, and the strength should not be very high. Shi Ming pondered, "But his attack technique is still quite strong, I must learn the battle spell hard when I go back." ”

"Yo, Uncle Liu!" the figure said loudly, "If you hadn't met me this time, I'm afraid your life would have been confessed here." ”

"Thank you, Lord Demon Hunter, for saving the villain's life!" Uncle Liu replied loudly.

"Since I am Uncle Liu's savior, how about marrying your daughter to me?"

"I'm afraid that the little girl is not worthy of the demon hunter, as long as the demon hunter needs the place, I will definitely die!" Uncle Liu's face was very ugly.

"No need Uncle Liu, people like me don't need help, but they need a warm bed. The figure quipped, "And the little girl is quite interested in me, why can't Uncle Liu fulfill the two of us." ”

Uncle Liu's face twitched, but he didn't respond to the figure.

A black spear was stuck in the monster's head, and the monster lost its breath.

The figure took out the short knife and dug out the Yuan Spirit Crystal Nucleus.

Shi Ming looked at the figure and walked over slowly.

"Yo, Uncle Liu, your son?" the figure looked at Shi Ming who poked his head out and smiled.

"It's not. ”

"Little brother, my name is Yang Shihao, I am a child of the Yang family in Anqin County, you have to talk to your father when you go back, and your sister and I are in love." Yang Shihao said with a smile.

"I'm not Uncle Liu's son, I just got lost in the mountains and forests and happened to meet Uncle Liu. Shi Ming was slightly stunned and explained.

"That's right, Uncle Liu, I'll go first. Be careful about the dangers on the road. Yang Shihao said and turned to leave.

Seeing Yang Shihao's figure disappear into the mountains and forests not far away, Uncle Liu quenched viciously, "What a birdman!"

Shi Ming looked at Uncle Liu with an angry face, and didn't know what to say.
