Nanzhao Forest, occupying the entire northwest region of the Nanming Empire, stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and there are many swamps and wetlands in the forest, and all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes can be seen everywhere.

However, those who can survive here are not afraid of poison at all, and any five or six-year-old child in Takagi City can catch poisonous snakes with his bare hands.

Even if you are bitten by a poisonous snake and poisonous insect, you can buy various antidotes in the medicine shops in the city.

For the locals of Takagi Castle, poisons are not terrible, and some poisons are even precious medicinal herbs for great tonics.

Before entering the Nanzhao Forest, the Xue family's hunting team smeared a large amount of insect repellent powder on each person, this odorous powder can make many poisonous insects retreat.

Of course, Xue Jian didn't need this kind of thing at all.

His body had been soaked in the bile of the Sea Shadow Beast, and he had drunk a large amount of bile, and now he was immune to all poisons and witches.

This is a complete accident, an unintentional creation.

The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, and this is the case.

The Xue family's hunting team plus Xue Jian and Du Xiaoqing had a total of twelve people, and the captain was Xue Chen's father, Xue Jian's third uncle.

Most of the others are Xue Jian's uncles, and there are only two strong teenagers, who are his younger brothers, named Xue Yun and Xue Hao.

These two people are the same age as Du Xiaoqing, in their early sixteens, they have already reached the realm of seven or eight levels of quenching, and they are the leaders of the younger generation of the Xue family.

Along the way, Xue Yun and Xue Hao followed Xue Jian closely, and their reverence for him was beyond words.

At the same time, they all had something else to mean to Du Xiaoqing, who had been silently following behind Xue Jian, and would talk to her from time to time, talking about Guan Rong's deeds when he was hunting, hoping to make the little girl smile.

The road in the forest is difficult to walk, and there are thick ancient trees everywhere that cover the next day, and the scattered sunlight shines through the dense leaves on the ground, and the evaporating damp and hot air makes people uncomfortable.

The stench of dead leaves and trees and the decay of some small beasts filled their noses, one foot deep and one shallow, and everyone had to keep an eye on their feet at all times, or they would sink into the mud.

After walking for more than four hours, they reached the deeper part of the dense forest, where some wild boars, elk and other large prey were infested.

The captain, who has a lot of experience in hunting, did not continue to move forward, but chose to set a trap by a pond and hide it.

Generally at noon, when the hottest day comes, the wild animals in the forest will go to the pond to drink water, rather than aimlessly searching, try their luck, it is better to wait here for the rabbit, to wait for work.

After setting up the trap, everyone found an ancient tree and hid on the fork of the tree.

Du Xiaoqing and Xue Jian stood on a branch, and on a branch next to them, Xue Yun and Xue Hao, two teenagers, sat on it.

They lowered their voices and were about to continue chatting with Du Xiaoqing about their Guan Rong deeds.

At this time, the little girl's big eyes suddenly widened, looked at the top of his head, and shushed.

The two of them slowly raised their heads, and they happened to meet a small silver snake with its head hanging down.

The little snake has a silver-white body, a triangular pyramidal head, and is swallowing bright red letters, which are highly poisonous at first glance.

It was not the first time that the two teenagers had come to hunt in the forest, and they were not in a hurry, and they were about to take out the prepared snake repellent powder.

The little snake leaped down violently, opened its mouth to reveal its long fangs, and bit towards Xue Yun.

Seeing that bite on Xue Yun's neck, Xue saw a vertical leap over and directly held the snake body with his hand.

The little snake struggled violently, wanting to twist the snake's head and bite him, but whenever the snake's head approached Xue Jian's body, it was like an electric shock, quickly avoiding it.

It was as if this person was its natural enemy, and he didn't dare to say anything at all.

With a slight grip, the snake softened and was thrown into the pond by him.

A layer of fine cold sweat broke out on Xue Yun's forehead, and Xue Hao was also taken aback.

They looked at Xue Jian blankly, unbelievable that the silver snake just now actually didn't bite him.

The two swallowed with a little dry throat, and were about to speak, when an angry roar came from the depths of the dense forest.

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look, although they couldn't see anything, but the roar made people tremble.

It was by no means the roar of an ordinary beast, at least it was a powerful beast comparable to a Danyuan Realm cultivator.

The second roar came, and this roar was obviously much closer, and the captain Xue Hongzhi immediately shouted.

"Be careful, everyone, the beast is approaching here, be sure to hide it and don't show its breath. ”

With a fierce beast of this level, Xue Hongzhi didn't have much confidence to be able to hunt it, but it was too late to leave at the moment.

After a while, they saw a huge beast that looked like a jungle leopard rush out, and this beast was so large that it made it difficult to breathe.

They were more than twenty meters long and six or seven meters high, but luckily the branches of the trees where they were hiding were high enough, otherwise the beast would not have looked up to see them.

After rushing out, the beast let out a roar and jumped into the pool to drink.

Only then did everyone see that there was an open scar on the tail of the leopard beast, which was full of spears and arrows, and it was dripping with blood.

If this beast was just passing by, Xue Hongzhi wouldn't care, everything was about the safety of the clan, there was no need to put the clansmen in danger for the sake of a fierce beast.

But now it had jumped into the pool, where many traps had been laid, and it only took him an order to kill the beast.

This kind of prey sent to the door, Xue Hongzhi has no reason not to take it.

"Collect the net!"

With a loud shout, the people hidden in the branches of the trees around him immediately cut the ropes.

A bamboo row covered with spikes fell from the sky, and two sharpened wooden stakes slammed into it around it.

Everyone immediately took out their bows and arrows and shot them at the leopard beast.

A terrible wail echoed through the jungle, and in a few moments the leopard beast collapsed in the pond and died instantly.

Xue Hongzhi and his group hurriedly pulled the rope, covered the fierce beast in the net, and dragged it out of the pond.

At this moment, a shout of "oh oh oh" rang out all around.

A group of bare-chested wild men, painted with white and green totems, rushed out with spears in hand.

They all showed their bad eyes, and surrounded Xue Jian's group of people, shouting a trumpet sound that everyone couldn't understand at all.

"It's from the Senwu tribe. ”

Xue Hongzhi's expression changed, and he hurriedly gathered everyone together, put away his weapons, and showed a posture that was not hostile.

But the wild men kept running around them, and had no intention of letting them go.

After a few moments, the crowd moved out of the way, and an old man dressed in animal skins and wrapped in flannel cloth walked out.

Judging by his appearance, he should be a wizard of the Mori Witch Tribe.

The old man's eyes fell on the leopard beast, and when he saw that it was dead, he couldn't help but be angry.

"You killed this leopard?"

He spoke the orthodox lingua franca of the mainland, and everyone heard it clearly, and their hearts sank.

Looking at his appearance, this leopard beast is very important to this group of people from the Senwu tribe.
