Wu Dao, who decided to secretly explore Yuzu Lake in order to improve his cultivation in the future, once again became a hard-working little bee, holding a kettle that could not hold much and pouring it while filling it, and once again he stopped when his arm was extremely sore.

After flashing into the Spirit Cultivation Bead, the water that had just been poured in also disappeared, only the drop of Spirit Spring seemed to be a little bigger, and its shaky appearance proved that Wu Dao should not have been harvesting it for a long time.

Wu Dao, who was sitting by the lake and staring at the calm lake for a long time, had already decided in his heart that as long as time allowed him, he would bring a big bucket. In the time when you don't have the ability to unlock the secret of Yuzu Lake, you can collect the water of this lake as much as possible to 'add food' to the spiritual spring. Who said that this spiritual spring water has an irreplaceable effect on his cultivation!

Seeing that the watch hand on his wrist was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Daocai remembered that he had to hurry home, otherwise he would definitely not be able to get home before dinner, and his parents were afraid that they would have to worry about it. If it's a little more night, it will alarm my uncle and them to come out to find someone. If this is the case, Wu Dao will still be somewhat unhappy in his heart.

On the way back, Wu Dao was no longer in the mood to collect those medicinal herbs, and spent all his time on the road. Of course, in order to test his flying knife strength, Wu Dao sharpened a few pointed wooden sticks with a mountain chopping knife. As long as they dared to fly in front of him, the small animals passing by were all dartred by him without exception.

It's a pity that most of these wooden darts he flew out are missed, which makes him feel very gratified. On the way to the exit of the mountain, two pheasants and a hare that were visibly dazed finally fell under his darts. This made Wu Dao, who longed for Li Xunhuan to have flying knife skills when he was a child, almost howl with excitement.

Carrying the bloody game that the three shots, Wu Dao took out the herbs that had been found in the morning to be equipped with pesticides from the Yuling Bead. As for the space ring on his finger, Wu Dao, who had not even reached the qi induction period now, could only do nothing about it.

Because from the memory of Venerable Cao Mu, this space ring is exclusively for cultivators. The minimum use cultivation limit must reach the third level of the Qi Induction Period, which also means that Wu Dao wants to see what treasure this ring contains, and there is still a long time to wait. Fortunately, the Nurturing Spirit Bead can temporarily replace the space ring, and it is not a problem to put some simple things.

When you enter the village, there are no people in the fields in the village, which is also a very common thing in the countryside. It is a very common thing to do it when it comes out and rest when it is said to be down. But in Wu Dao's opinion, going home so late is inevitably going to be scolded again. Because this time period has obviously exceeded the dinner he promised with his parents.

Wu Dao, who stepped up his pace and trotted home, heard his uncle say angrily as soon as he entered the door: "Why are you two so ignorant, that stinky boy hasn't been in the mountain for several years, and there are fewer people who have entered the mountain over the years, how dare you let him enter the mountain alone." If something happens, I'll see what you do! ”

Sure enough, the uncle who came over at night to talk to Wu Dao, a nephew, heard Wu Dong say that Wu Dao went into the mountains alone to collect medicine and still hasn't come back. Suddenly Thunder was furious, and unceremoniously reprimanded Wu Dao's parents. Fortunately, as soon as he said a sentence, Wu Dao had already carefully carried the three small animals into the courtyard gate.

Seeing Wu Dao, who was a little dodgy, the uncle immediately shifted his firepower and pointed at him and scolded: "You kid is bold and hairy, and you dare to enter the mountain alone." You don't know that this mountain is dangerous, you don't know that your family will be worried when you come back so late? Why are you stinky boy so big and uncomfortable? ”

Although the uncle scolded and scolded, Wu Dao, who was scolded, knew very well that this was the old man's concern for his safety. Therefore, they honestly admit their mistakes, and the parents who were scolded just now saw their son being scolded so badly by his uncle. Originally, the blame in their hearts had disappeared without a trace, and for them, as long as Wu Dao came back safely, it was better than anything else.

Seeing that Wu Dao bowed his head and admitted his mistake and didn't explain the reason for coming back so late, Wu Tian, who was a little dry-mouthed, glanced at the three wild animals in Wu Dao's hand and couldn't help but ask with a tight look: "You got these three little things?" ”

Wu Dao saw that his uncle finally showed mercy, and his originally honest expression suddenly changed into a playful smile: "Hehe, uncle!" It's all luck, you're here for a long time. How about being at my house at night and asking my mom to make you some snacks with these things? ”

Hearing that these three animals were indeed hit by Wu Dao, Wu Tian continued to ask, "How did you kid hit them?" You didn't even have this shotgun bow and arrow, could it be that you used your broken knife to cut it? ”

Wu Tian, who has been hunting all year round, is naturally not bad, and the guys Wu Dao brought with him can naturally see it at a glance. What made him curious was that all three game animals were stabbed in the belly by something and bled to death. If Wu Dao had a bow and arrow on his back, he wouldn't be curious. But the key is that Wu Dao has no lethal weapons at all except for a lethal mountain chopping knife.

If you put aside this chopping knife, there is only one explanation for the wound of this game. Because Wu Tian did it when he was young, but he couldn't kill these three animals with one blow. This also means that this Wu Dao in front of him seems to be hiding something.

Wu Dao heard his uncle's question and sighed that 'ginger is still old and spicy', and then his eyes rolled and said: "Hehe, it is all luck to be able to hit these three little things." When I touched them, I stabbed them to death with a sharpened stick while they were making out. As for this kind of fat rabbit, it is even more blind to me who is looking for death, which does not stab me to death. Grandson, my hunting skills should be higher than when you were young, uncle! ”

Wu Dao, who knew that this excuse was a little reluctant, could only come up with such a slightly far-fetched reason in a hurry. Fortunately, Uncle Wu Tian just said lightly: "You kid is really lucky with shit, okay!" Wait a minute, pick up this rabbit, and let your mother fry two appetizers, which can be regarded as compensating for the loss that my old man just worried about you. ”

Looking at Wu Tian's slightly meaningful words and eyes, Wu Dao could only run into the kitchen to clean up the hare, and it didn't take long for the rabbit that had just ended its life in Wu Dao's hands to become two delicious dishes on the table.

Stir-fried rabbit meat, plus general garlic stir-fried rabbit offal, and of course, a few seasonal greens from your own vegetable patch. Dad also deliberately took a bottle of home-brewed liquor from the kitchen that he usually doesn't drink much, and asked Wu Dao to accompany Wu Tian to drink.

Wu Tian, who was enjoying the game, did not forget to ask: "Stinky boy, your courage is really not ordinary, you haven't been in the mountains for so many years, do you still know the situation in the mountains?" By the way, where are you going today, tell me about it. ”

Seeing that his uncle and parents were a little curious about entering the mountain by himself today, Wu Dao could only say: "Fortunately, although the road to the mountain with you in the past is a little unclear now, it can still be found after spending some time." It's just that the mountain road is much more difficult to walk now than before, and if it weren't for the mountain cutter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to walk out now.

As for the last place I walked to, it was the grapefruit lake, and after a little turn there, I rushed home. Who knows, it's still a little late, and I'm worried about you! ”

Yuzu Lake!

Hearing this name, the eyes of the three adults were stunned, and the uncle was even more surprised: "You kid can go to Yuzu Lake alone, it seems that you really have some potential to inherit my hunting." However, the lake is as close as possible, and the words left by the ancestors are still reasonable many times, and the lake is a bit mysterious. ”

Seeing Wu Tian's cautious expression, Wu Dao accompanied the old man to make a glass of wine and continued: "Uncle, I think that Yuzu Lake is quite calm, except that the lake water is cooler, there seems to be nothing unusual?" ”

'You kid knows a fart, who told you that this grapefruit lake is a little colder, let me tell you stinky boy, there are big things in that lake. Usually you borrow water next to it or something, you have to dare to go into the water to try, and you are guaranteed not to see the sun the next day. ’

From Wu Tian's admonition, Wu Dao heard a trace of unusualness and was even more curious: "What is there, you always tell me." ”

Seeing Wu Dao humbly asking for advice like this, Wu Tian, who felt good about himself, did not hide it: "Although I don't know what is in that lake, but when your great-grandfather used to hunt with people, he saw with his own eyes that there was a python as thick as a beam in that lake. Even your great-grandfather suspected that it was a dragon, because he could vaguely see something like horns on the snake's head.

Do you know why it's okay to get water from the lake, but when you get out of the water, you have a problem? According to the old man, it was a person who entered the lake, and the dragon felt it and pulled it into the bottom of the lake to eat it. Besides, don't you notice that except for some small animals who will go to drink water by this lake, those jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains don't dare to approach the lake at all? ”

Jiaolong, Wu Dao must have thought that his uncle was bragging, but now he heard it in his ears, which made him a little frightened. If it is really a dragon with first-born horns, it is enough to resist the fierce character of the Yuan Infant Cultivation. In this way, isn't there no hope for me to explore Yuzu Lake?

Fortunately, Wu Dao knew very well that there was really no need to rush to explore Yuzu Lake, but now that he heard the news that there was a dragon in the lake, it was worth his investigation. As for how to find out the real surname of this story, Wu Dao already had an idea in his heart, but naturally he would not say it easily at this dinner table.

Next, he continued to listen to Wu Tian tell about the various miracles of this mountain, and Wu Dao also unconsciously mastered the details that need to be paid attention to about this mountain, which can play an important role in Wu Dao's entry into the mountain again in the future.

After all, my uncle is the most famous old hunter in Sandaogou Village, and he has spent half of his life in the mountains. As he said, a hunter who doesn't know the mountains is not a good hunter at all, and he is an undoubted old hunter in Sandaogou!
