Chapter 5: Experience
Time flies, and more than five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Mo is already a teenager who is nearly ten years old.
Now he is 1.65 meters tall and looks like a little adult. With his immature and tenacious face, it can be seen that he has endured a lot of hardships in the past five years.
Five years ago, Zhang Mo's maximum weight of thirty catties was the limit, but now he weighs two hundred catties of Xuantie and does not feel tired at all. In addition to a two-hundred-pound weight, Zhang Mo also carried a hard bow on his back, ten dark iron arrows in a quiver, a short dagger in his waist, and a fire breaker, which was enough for him to walk alone in Xiling.
Tie Zhu didn't follow him, Zhang Mo's task this time was to hunt a wild boar of more than 100 catties, but in broad daylight, wild boars generally slept in a corner of the jungle, and it was not easy for Zhang Mo to find them.
Xiling is very large, the mountains here stretch for hundreds of miles, and the places that Zhang Mo and Tiezhu have visited over the years are less than one-tenth of the entire Xiling, and other places can only be explored slowly by Zhang Mo.
Along the place where the beast walked, Zhang Mo walked all the way, and birds flew around in the trees from time to time. If it was before, he might have used these flying birds as targets, but now he can't look down on these small targets, even if he shoots them, it won't be enough to fight the tooth sacrifice, Zhang Mo is too lazy to do it.
Just as Zhang Mo was casually moving forward, a pair of eyes suddenly stared at him.
Hiss!
This is a green bamboo snake hidden among the leaves, they are not very poisonous, but if you bite it, even if you don't die, it will make people feel unbearable.
Shout!
Suddenly, the green bamboo snake fell from the sky and attacked Zhang Mo.
Just as the head of the green bamboo snake was approaching, Zhang Mo suddenly raised his hard bow, and then shook it hard, only to see the green snake being bounced away. The green snake had not yet touched the ground, and Zhang Mo's dark iron arrow had already been placed on the bowstring.
Shout!
When he released the bowstring, the iron arrow hit the cyan seven inches accurately, and when the snake's body fell to the ground, it was already dead and could not die.
"Hey, why bother, I don't want your life, but you want mine, I'm sorry, Brother Snake!" Zhang Mo shook his head, took off the iron arrow, and then turned to leave.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Zhang Mo left, a golden eagle suddenly fell from the sky, and then stopped next to the green snake. For this rare delicacy, the golden eagle enjoys it. If you rely on it to catch it, I'm afraid it's not easy.
You know, almost all snakes know how to camouflage, and the golden eagle likes snake meat, but it is not the first master of catching snakes.
Zhang Mo didn't know that after he left, the green snake entered the belly of the golden eagle, at this time he was stationary under a big tree, surrounded by twelve coyotes, the wolf king was no less than ninety pounds, and weighed more than Zhang Mo.
It's just that the wolf king didn't dare to make a rash move, because the human in front of him made it feel very dangerous. Animals are naturally able to sense danger, not to mention that the humans in front of them are their old rivals, and many coyotes have died at the hands of this young man.
"Brother wolf, I'm not here to fight with you today, so you'd better get out of the way! I'm just passing by, if you don't know how to be interested, don't blame the iron bow in my hand!" After speaking, Zhang Mo took out the iron arrow, and the arrow was aimed at the wolf king, if the other party didn't get out of the way, he would make a move.
The wolf king was very smart, it could understand Zhang Mo's words, and quickly made a decision, and then let out a low roar.
The other coyotes stared at Zhang Mo with their eyes, and their eyes could even burst into flames, but without the order of the wolf king, they did not dare to attack rashly.
Zhang Mo smiled, and then swaggered through the wolves, who watched the enemy leave, and let out an angry roar helplessly.
Perhaps it was the wolf's roar that alarmed the other beasts that were hiding, and the jungle suddenly moved.
A few little wild boars, who were already timid and afraid, were disturbed by the wolves at this time and began to scurry around. Zhang Mo saw the little wild boar appear, and guessed that the big wild boar should be nearby, so he climbed a big tree and then explored carefully. Sure enough, in a thorn nest, a litter of wild boars is carefully dealing with possible crises.
However, the movement of the beasts in the jungle did not last long, and soon calmed down again. Zhang Mo knew that it was not an easy task to shoot a wild boar among thorns, and even if the shooting was successful, how to carry the prey out was also a problem.
Just when Zhang Mo was worried, a giant python drilled out of the rock, and then walked in the direction of the wild boar's nest.
"Hehe, God help me!" Zhang Mo was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his mouth.
Soon the python burrowed into the thorns, and the adult wild boar issued a warning, but the python was not afraid at all.
A few small wild boars hide behind the sow to prevent the python from sneaking up. The other adult wild boars have three of them, which are now square, and the baby boars are protected in the center.
The python is not stupid, it keeps spitting snake letters, it is waiting for the opportunity. At this moment, Zhang Mo made a move, he pulled the bowstring, and then shot an arrow with all his might.
Shout!
The arrow was shot at the back of an adult wild boar, which was in pain and fled in panic.
At this moment, the python saw that the time was ripe and immediately attacked, it suddenly bent and stretched, and then attacked the sow.
With the tacit cooperation of the giant python and Zhang Mo, the whole litter of wild boars has panicked and fled one by one.
Woohoo!
Just as the other adult wild boars fled, Zhang Mo's iron arrows began to fire in succession, this time he did not spare his hand, and one by one the iron arrows pierced the heads of the wild boars, killing the three adult wild boars in one blow.
Compared with Zhang Mo's efficient shooting, the killing efficiency of the giant python is not enough. It's just that the python didn't want to kill the sow, it targeted the baby wild boar. After the sow was strangled by the snake and lost its combat effectiveness, the python left the pig's nest and began to look for the piglets.
At this time, the blood of the wild boar shot by the iron arrow flowed, and the rich smell of blood spread in all directions. The giant python could clearly perceive that Zhang Mo was nearby, and it didn't dare to think about it, otherwise it would be itself that would be killed next.
Zhang Mo put the four iron arrows into the quiver, and suddenly thought of a question.
"If I'm unlucky enough to shoot the boar, won't I be hungry next?" Uncle Tie is right, smearing the venom on the arrow, although it is a bit despicable, but at least it can guarantee a one-hit kill. He suddenly felt that Uncle Tie was not so despicable, but he was too young.
Tie Zhu had been warning him in his ear before, you can't be too obedient, and sometimes meanness is also a kind of protection for yourself. Although Zhang Mo did not refute, he did not agree with Uncle Tie's words, in his opinion, to defeat the opponent, it must be above board, although the method of using poison is good, but it is despicable.
Tie Zhu knew that Zhang Mo couldn't listen to him for a while, so he told him some battlefield deeds. When it comes to people who survive from the battlefield, there are three situations, one is too lucky, one is absolutely powerful, and the other is despicable and shameless.
On the battlefield, sometimes in order to survive, he even did not hesitate to use the corpses of his companions and brothers as shields. There are some more shameless people, those who deliberately put their companions in danger in order to survive, and in the end they reap the benefits.
Before, Zhang Mo was still worried about how to kill those wild boars in the deep thorns, but he didn't expect that soon the enemy of the wild boar appeared, although the giant python and the wild boar are the same prey, but for Zhang Mo, the enemy of the wild boar is his friend.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mo saw the giant python not far away fleeing quickly, and immediately understood a truth, in order to achieve the goal, sometimes the enemy of the enemy can also become a friend.
"Count yourself lucky, two wild boars, I will only take one, and the remaining two are yours!" After speaking, Zhang Mo didn't care if the giant python could hear it, he carried a wild boar on his back and returned the same way.
The wild boars on their backs should be adults, otherwise their weight is much more than that. Zhang Mo carried a weight of two hundred catties, plus the weight of a wild boar, and at this time his weight had reached the limit.
He didn't go far before Zhang Mo was out of breath. It's easy to come, but I don't know how long it will take to go back.
Zhang Mo saw that the sun in the sky was about to set soon, so he had to rest for a while and continue to hurry.
"Uncle Tie is really, aren't you really afraid that I will be besieged by wild beasts?" Zhang Mo thought about it, and always felt that the other party was incompetent.
It's just that it's impossible to think about it, after all, Uncle Tie has been in the Zhang family for more than ten years, and it is impossible for him to care about life and death in order to sharpen him.
Zhang Mo couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it, maybe he was thinking too much.
An hour passed, the sun had completely set, and night had come. Zhang Mo estimated that there were at least twenty miles to go back, and if he went back lightly, half an hour would be enough, but with a wild boar on his back, I am afraid it would take two and a half hours to go back.
"I've got to spend the night in the mountains tonight, no! I've been living in the mountains. Zhang Mo's brain circuit was a little blocked at this time.
That's right, in the past five years, he has been living in Xiling, but Xiling is too big, some areas belong to Zhangjiabao, some areas belong to other surnames, and some areas are public, after all, so far, no surname dares to monopolize the entire Xiling.
Zhang Mo put down the wild boar, and then picked up some dry firewood and prepared to make a fire to cook and eat.
Dinner must have been wild boar, and when the wood was lit, he took out the dagger and unloaded a pig's trotter.
The pork skin is cut off, and the remaining pork leg meat is clean. Zhang Mo then inserted a stick into the pig's trotters and put it on the flame to grill.
A short time passed, and the smell of meat spread. The smell of meat attracted the onlookers of the nearby beasts, but they did not dare to get too close, almost all of them were afraid of the flames, not to mention a human.
Just then, the coyote pack arrived smelling the scent. When the wolf king saw Zhang Mo, he immediately became vigilant. However, all the wolves had been hungry for a day, and they urgently needed food to replenish their strength.
"Brother Wolf, my barbecue is not for you, if you want to eat meat, follow the road I passed, and you may be able to find two wild boars that I shot and killed!" Zhang Mo stretched out his finger and pointed, regardless of whether the wolf king could understand or not.
The wolf king did not dare to take risks, at this time the nearby wolf cubs were hungry, it must leave with the wolves as soon as possible, otherwise one is not careful, the wolf cubs will attack the enemy, and the entire wolf pack will not be damaged.
Oh!
The wolf king roared, and then walked along the path Zhang Mo had walked, it was obvious that it should have understood Zhang Mo's words.
The wolves reluctantly followed the wolf king away, and soon a cheetah appeared.
This is a black cheetah, which is imperceptible to almost all prey under the cover of night.
It's just that this time the panther hunted to find the wrong target, and it was Zhang Mo who wanted to sneak attack.
Although Zhang Mo didn't move his body, one hand spun the wooden stick of the barbecue, and the other hand held the dagger. If you say that you are not afraid, it is false, Zhang Mo does not move to respond to all changes, and his nerves are tense.
After a while, the black panther seemed to be unable to resist and came towards Zhang Mo from a distance.
