Chapter Twenty-Five, The Hammerer and the Lake

In addition to the wound on the head, this is an intact deer, and because the bloodletting is timely and clean, the preservation of the venison is also very good, and soon Chen Zhiyuan's way was acquired, when asked how to catch the deer in time, everyone was shocked by Chen Zhiyuan's answer, so Chen Zhiyuan had a nickname - the deer hammerer.

Chen Zhiyuan was a little unacceptable to this, after all, this name sounded very violent, and he also saw that someone else also brought a whole deer, but when he asked, he learned that the person didn't even have a name, and Chen Zhiyuan was even more dissatisfied with his name.

"He said that if he was poisoned, the deer would be troublesome to deal with, and he was also an old hunter, and what title he would take, we would give the title to the newcomer. So said the person at the acquisition office.

Although I feel very awkward, but because it is not a title given by myself, nor is it spread by myself, since I can't control it, I don't care.

After returning to Nanfeng City to rest for two days, he told Liu Li Liu Qi about his brave deeds, and left money to buy them more meat buns for Brother Baozi, and after the injury on his hand was almost healed, Chen Zhiyuan picked up his small backpack and set off towards Nanfeng Mountain.

When Chen Zhiyuan was in the market, he found an interesting thing, that is, this so-called title is just what they use to tease new hunters, but only hunters who hunt good prey will be called by titles. After only two days of leaving, Chen Zhiyuan heard from the person who bought his deer that there was another pig shooter in Nanfeng Mountain.

Listening to the title of "pig shooter", Chen Zhiyuan suddenly felt that his "hammerer" was not unpleasant at all, and he was even a little proud.

However, these are all false names, and they know how many catties and taels they have, and they will not improve because others have given you a title.

The last hunt brought many benefits to Chen Zhiyuan, and when his spiritual power was exhausted and replenished again, Chen Zhiyuan found that his spiritual power that had not moved for a long time had risen a little, and after the wound healed within two days, Chen Zhiyuan also felt that the skin and muscles of his injured place were tougher.

The most obvious difference is that now Chen Zhiyuan dares to hammer the tree with his bare hands, this kind of operation was impossible before, at least he will be injured.

After going back and reflecting on it, Chen Zhiyuan felt that he could actually pick up a stone to hammer the deer instead of using his hands. In fact, it is okay not to hammer, when the deer falls, you can completely distance yourself and end this farce with a knife, so that the probability of injury is smaller.

However, experience is accumulated little by little, and only after continuous summarization can we come up with the simplest and most effective method. Besides, although I consumed a little more last time, I also improved myself a lot.

The body is still wearing the same set of equipment last time, and the position has not changed, but this time Chen Zhiyuan is not so lucky, he waited by the river for two days, and he didn't see any animals near his squatting point, and there were a few sheep in the distance, but before Chen Zhiyuan touched it, the sheep had already run away. And the trap set by Chen Zhiyuan was not triggered, and the only result was to catch a rabbit that ran out to graze, but the catch was too fast, resulting in Chen Zhiyuan not being able to find where the rabbit nested.

After eating a small half of the dry food, he can't eat it anymore, because if he catches prey, he can only eat dry food when he goes back, so Chen Zhiyuan now tries to rely on catching fish and picking wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.

Sometimes Chen Zhiyuan can't help but think, other cultivators live like this, obviously he is also a cultivator, why is his life no different from ordinary people? Thinking of ordinary people, it is inevitable to think of his parents, Chen Zhiyuan feels that when he saves some more money, he should also go back, if his parents don't know that the news of their arrest is fine, if they know, then they should go back to report their safety.

When there was no prey on the third day, Chen Zhiyuan decided to squat in another place, and he couldn't hang himself on a tree, he had to change it.

After going to the rest point to retrieve his things, Chen Zhiyuan began to walk deeper into the direction of Nanfeng Mountain, and after walking a few kilometers, Chen Zhiyuan found a second suitable place for resting points.

After also packing up his resting spots, Chen Zhiyuan began to explore the surrounding environment and mark it. Soon, a kilometer southwest of the second resting point, Chen Zhiyuan found a small lake.

The lake is not large, about the size of two acres of land. The lake is very quiet, which shows that the lake is small, but it is deep.

In the sun, this small lake is transparent with a little light green, which is the color of the moss at the bottom of the lake. But the middle position is quiet, bottomless.

The lake water is very clean and cool, Chen Zhiyuan took a handful of it and washed his face, the ripples were spreading, and it was very beautiful. However, beautiful things in nature are generally dangerous, and Chen Zhiyuan noticed that the lake was too quiet, and the silence was a little abnormal.

There was not a single fish in the lake, Chen Zhiyuan looked at it seriously, there was really not one, not even a daphnia. The surface of the lake was clean and there was not even a single leaf, which made Chen Zhiyuan feel a chill unconsciously rising above his head.

This is certainly not a good piece of land, Chen Zhiyuan thought. However, this place is only a little more than a day's walk away from the bazaar, so how can there be such a place? Chen Zhiyuan decided to hide around here and take a good look.

At night, a white mist floated on the surface of the lake, and the moon like a silver hook was reflected in the water, as if hidden in the clouds, and it was immediately impossible to distinguish whether the moon in the lake was real or the moon in the sky was real.

Soon, one after another, many animals came out of the surrounding woods, herbivores and carnivores, all of them slowly walked to the lake and drank quietly, without disturbing anyone.

Chen Zhiyuan was stunned by this strange and slightly harmonious scene, he thought that there would be animals that would come here to drink water at night, but he didn't expect that there would be so many, and it was really a little incredible that these animals could still stand together without incident.

Look at the rabbit, it is drinking water with a wolf, but there is no fear at all, and the wolf has no intention of killing the rabbit, which simply subverts Chen Zhiyuan's three views.

There must be something in the lake.

Chen Zhiyuan hid in the tree and watched quietly, watching the different animals come and go this night, and there was no fight near the lake. It wasn't until the sky began to light up that the animals dispersed one after another.

When the surroundings returned to the same as when Chen Zhiyuan came yesterday, Chen Zhiyuan jumped down from the tree and walked to the lake to take a closer look.

The water in the lake is still the same as yesterday, and Chen Zhiyuan thinks that the thing that caused the abnormality may be hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Taking off his shoes, leg guards and pants, Chen Zhiyuan slowly walked into the lake, yesterday there were even animals jumping into the lake without accidents, Chen Zhiyuan naturally did not worry too much about danger.

Yesterday, just with his hands in the lake, Chen Zhiyuan already felt that the lake water was very cold, and now his entire thigh is already in the water, this feeling is naturally more obvious, Chen Zhiyuan almost thought that he said that he was soaked in ice water.

Walking to the place where the thighs were not high, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help but mutter, is there really no problem with this lake? Or is it true that only by going to the center of the lake can the reason be discovered?

To be on the safe side, Chen Zhiyuan decided to observe for another night, anyway, this lake has not changed much for so long, and Chen Zhiyuan feels that there should be no problems after another night.

Slowly wadling back to the shore, shivering for a while, and when his legs were dry, Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly put on his pants, it was too cold.

Retreating to the rest point, Chen Zhiyuan looked for some wild fruits around and came back to satisfy his hunger, and after eating enough, he cultivated until sleepiness hit, and then he slept peacefully. After all, counting the time when the water was flowing, Chen Zhiyuan hadn't had a good rest for more than a day.

At night, Chen Zhiyuan woke up and quietly touched the lake, waiting for the animals to appear.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for animals to come out of the side, still the same as yesterday.

Chen Zhiyuan held the knife in his hand and hesitated, so many animals, jumping out and killing one casually can have two silver, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a more valuable one, for example, the elegant lynx, just the fur can buy seven silver, and Chen Zhiyuan looked carefully, this lynx's fur is very beautiful, and if you sell it, it will cost at least ten silver.

But after thinking about it, Chen Zhiyuan still suppressed the impulse in his heart, what if he jumped out, what if the group of animals rioted? The rabbit and goat are okay to say, Chen Zhiyuan is not sure to fight against this lynx for the time being, let alone two foxes and wolves next to him.

Chen Zhiyuan waited patiently, feeling a little bored, anyway, he had to wait until dawn, why didn't he sleep? Anyway, judging from the current situation, there would indeed be no change here.

Saying that he would sleep, Chen Zhiyuan found a comfortable position on the tree and began to operate his mental method, and soon sleepiness hit, but what Chen Zhiyuan didn't find was that the spiritual power in his body was a little more active than usual, and the total amount had also increased by an almost invisible trace.

Chen Zhiyuan felt that "The Law of Eating Qi" could actually be renamed "Hypnotic Dafa", because when he woke up from this sleep, it was already bright, and Chen Zhiyuan hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

Naturally, he couldn't jump into such cold water just after waking up, although Chen Zhiyuan was confident that his physique was much better than that of ordinary people, and he still had spiritual power to support him, but he didn't dare to die casually, in case he really froze and caught cold, it would really be in vain.

After moving for a while, after his body gradually became hotter, Chen Zhiyuan took off his clothes, soaked his whole body in the lake, and slowly adapted to the temperature of the lake.

When you first enter the lake, it is very cold at first, and you want to jump out, but the longer you stay in the water, the cold feeling slowly disappears, and now it looks a little warmer.

Chen Zhiyuan waited until he had fully adapted to the water temperature, and slowly swam towards the center of the lake. Swimming in the clear water of the lake, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly felt like he was swimming in the sky.
