Time, the year 1012 of the gods and demons. Location, the eastern border of the Fenglan Empire on the Gods and Demons Continent.

"Patriarch, patriarch, yesterday in the north of the tribe, Gu Daqiang's sheepfold was attacked by demon beasts again, the demon beast stole three sheep, and bit several to death, didn't have time to take them away, if Daqiang didn't come out to pee in the middle of the night and just bumped into it, maybe the loss would be greater!" I saw a big man with a height of more than one meter nine and dark skin, running into the tribal patriarch's compound in a hurry.

"Got it," the patriarch of Gude, who was sitting under the big tree in the courtyard drinking tea and enjoying the shade, looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, an ordinary old man, dressed plainly, I saw him digging out his ears, frowning and saying: "Da Zhuang, you are almost thirty years old, why are you still so frizzy in trouble, no matter how loud your voice is, my ears will be deafened by you, tell me, what's going on." ”

Seeing the leisurely patriarch lying on the rocking chair, he was not in a hurry at all, and Gu Dazhuang didn't dare to make a mistake, and his voice suddenly dropped an octave: "Patriarch, Daqiang came to me early this morning, saying that when he came out to pee in the middle of the night, he happened to bump into a demon beast jumping into his sheepfold to steal sheep, he hurriedly took a hoe and went up, ready to fight with these demon beasts, these sheep are his lifeblood, but these demon beasts don't attack him, leaving the dead sheep that he didn't have time to take away, swishing and jumping a few times and running away," After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he obediently stood in front of the patriarch's rocking chair and waited for the patriarch to speak.

"Can you see the size and face of that demon beast?" Patriarch Gude asked with a slight frown.

Gu Dazhuang scratched his head and said, "According to Daqiang, it was very dark at that time, so I didn't see clearly, but there were several demon beasts, and judging by the size, they were about the same size as this dog," Gu Dazhuang said, and pointed to the big white dog sleeping in the yard.

The patriarch of Gude pondered for a moment and said: "The body is like a dog, sneak attack on domestic animals, and its agility is similar to the previous two times when other tribesmen and animals were attacked, it should be a demon beast such as a wolf or a fox." Recently, the activities of demon beasts have become more and more frequent, so let's take a few good people in the village to find the traces left by the demon beasts, find and hunt them as soon as possible, so as not to suffer another scourge to the livestock in the village. ”

"Yes, Patriarch," Gu Dazhuang heard Patriarch Gude's order, and went out in a hurry, leaving only Patriarch Gude who was alone in the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Uncle Da Zhuang, wait for me," Gu Da Zhuang was stopped not far from the gate of the patriarch's courtyard: "Uncle Da Zhuang, do you want to leave the village?"

Gu Dazhuang looked back and saw a handsome young man of eleven or twelve, with bright eyes and an angular face, wearing a sleeveless shirt of yellow spots and black animal skin, a pair of black trousers, and a gray belt in the middle, grinning at himself, "Ah, it's you kid! Xiao Mu, did you just come back from buying breakfast for the patriarch?"

"Yes, Uncle Da Zhuang, I heard your conversation with your grandfather at the door just now, are you going out of the village to hunt demon beasts? Can you take me with you?" The young man named Gu Aoki hurriedly approached Gu Dazhuang and looked at him with a look of hope.

"No, no," Gu Dazhuang's head shook like a rattle, "How old are you, hunting demon beasts is a very dangerous thing, I don't dare to take you there, if something happens accidentally, the patriarch won't skin me, no." ”

"Uncle Da Zhuang, I'm already twelve years old, and I've learned a lot of skills from my grandfather over the years, and now I'm a great master of the Spirit Foot Realm," Gu Aoki heard that Gu Da Zhuang thought he was too young and refused to take himself, so he hurriedly puffed up his chest and raised his head and said.

"Hahaha," Gu Dazhuang was amused by his pretending to be an adult, and said with a grin: "Okay, Xiao Mu, I admit that you are indeed extremely talented, you really opened the door to cultivation at the age of twelve, and entered the realm of one spirit and divine foot, and your uncle and I are only worthy of entering the four spirit spirit realm at the age of thirty," Gu Dazhuang finished speaking, and unconsciously drooped his head, letting Gu Aoki, the little guy, compare, and the feeling of self-friendliness suddenly disappeared by half, you must know that people on the mainland generally continue to exercise before the age of sixteen. Building a foundation, after the age of sixteen, you can really learn and cultivate, but this kid has already stepped into the realm of a spirit and god foot under the ** of the Gude patriarch a year ago.

"But Xiao Mu, I still can't take you there, you also know that our Dongyin tribe goes out of the village to hunt demon beasts, first of all, we have to inform the patriarch in advance, and we must be sixteen years old before we can join the tribe's hunting team and carry out hunting operations," Gu Dazhuang still did not agree to take him out of the village to hunt demon beasts.

When Gu Aoki heard that Gu Dazhuang still refused to take him out, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, this time he finally caught up with such an opportunity, he grew up in the tribe since he was a child, and he had never gone far away, let alone did such an exciting thing as hunting demon beasts, which was simply torment for the little guy who was naturally active.

"Da Zhuang, this time you go out to hunt demon beasts, you can take Aoki with you," the small Gude patriarch didn't know when he had already stood at the gate of the courtyard, and under Da Zhuang's surprised look, he continued: "Although Aoki is not yet sixteen years old, his veins have been opened, and his speed is not much slower than that of you adults, so he has more than enough self-preservation." ”

"Okay, okay," Seeing that the patriarch agreed, Gu Dazhuang had no choice but to nod in agreement, but he was still very puzzled by the patriarch's decision.

"Oh, grandpa, you're so good," Gu Aoki heard that Patriarch Gude allowed him to participate in this operation, and immediately danced with joy, and was not afraid to knock over the breakfast he was carrying, and ran to the patriarch and gave Patriarch Gude a childlike bear hug.

"Hehe," a doting smile suddenly appeared on the usually lazy face of the patriarch of Goode: "Aoki, I originally wanted to wait until you were sixteen years old before I was ready to let you go out with the tribe's hunting team, but you are talented, very talented in cultivation, and active, the demon beasts hunted this time will not be very powerful, so take it as your experience in advance." ”

"Great, grandpa, I've long wanted to go out to experience the experience, so I'll set off with Uncle Da Zhuang now?" The young Gu Aoki was already excited at this moment, and his heart flew away.

"Don't worry, come in and finish breakfast, breakfast is still going to be eaten, I will tell you some experience in hunting demon beasts by the way, after all, this will be your first hunting experience," Patriarch Gude said to Gu Dazhuang while pulling Xiao Aoki back: "Da Zhuang, you first gather the people of the hunting team and gather at the north gate of the tribe, where to the north is the evil forest, I suspect that those demon beasts are from it, I will let Aoki go there to find you later." ”

"Yes, Patriarch. Da Zhuang heard the order of the patriarch of Gude, and immediately went to the tribe to gather other hunting members.

Walking on the way from the tribe to the north gate, Gu Aoki still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, holding the three-inch short sword that his grandfather had just given him, looking at the busy clansmen in the tribe, the look on his face unconsciously fluttered, he imagined that he was carrying a three-inch short sword in the evil forest, killing the demon beasts of the Quartet, and even his steps felt much lighter.

"Hey, hey....... hey," Gu Aoki was fantasizing, and suddenly felt that he had hit an iron lump.

"I'll go!" I said Xiao Mu, what are you doing with your face hitting my ass?" Gu Dazhuang, who was chatting with the other hunters of the tribe, looked at Gu Aoki with a strange expression.

"Forehead......" Gu Aoki came to his senses at this time, and was suddenly embarrassed, and hurriedly concealed his embarrassment: "Uncle Zhuang, is it the six of us who are going to hunt demon beasts?" After speaking, he took the initiative to greet the other hunters of the tribe, and the uncle shouted.

"Yes, I was supposed to deal with those few demon beasts that didn't enter the stream, I just went with Gu Wen and Gu Wu, in order to protect you from hunting demon beasts for the first time, I didn't call Gu Feng and Gu Huo again, you remember to follow the two of them later, their main responsibility for this operation is to protect you, Gu Feng, Gu Huo brother, you two can be mental, don't let Xiao Mu get hurt. "Gu Dazhuang is impetuous on the surface, but he is still very meticulous in arranging things.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuang," Gu Huo nodded and patted his chest.

"Okay, on the road," Gu Dazhuang took the lead, carrying a big pu knife on his back and taking the lead out of the village gate to the north, and the others hurriedly followed.

Out of the walled gate, Gu Aoki glanced back at the tribe, since he was a child, he has lived in this tribe of thousands of people, and the farthest place he has been to is only two or three miles within a radius of the tribe, this first time to go out to hunt demon beasts, it will inevitably be an important experience in his life.
