Section 11 Witchcraft Hunting?

Tianhao silently watched the heavy gate slowly rise in the "creaking" winch turning.

The rows of logs are pierced with steel bars from the roots, and the ends are fixed and linked to the winch. The recessed deadbolt means that the door can only be pushed outward, but not in reverse. The gate is very cleverly designed, with a metal frame inside that is firmly attached to the log door wall. In the event of an invasion by an enemy, the stones placed on both sides of the gate will fall, increasing the weight of the gate, and even the most powerful warriors will not be able to break through this strong obstacle.

A lot of things show that this is the world I once lived in.

The people in the village speak Chinese, very pure Mandarin, and the characters are correct and round.

Although there were no lasers, no energy reactors, and perhaps not even muskets and steam engines, these so-called "barbarians" knew how to use pulleys, understood the principle of levers, and were proficient in basic arithmetic.

Tianhao once wondered if he had encountered the plot of "Planet of the Apes", inexplicably traveling through a wormhole in time and space, and came to a world where civilization was destroyed and human beings were ruled by another intelligent life.

Now it seems that the probability of such a thing happening is extremely small, almost zero.

There is no doubt that this is the earth, and the villagers of Panshizhai have the same blood genes as me.

Once again, Tianhao felt that it was the right choice for him to put his precious fusion point into his "brain". He had calculated that even if all the power points from the first to the second order of the fusion stage were fully opened, they could only reach the level of equal or slightly stronger strength with the Heavenly Madness. It is impossible for such a force to take out a Stormmaned Bear alone, and if you want to deal with this beast head-on, you must at least go beyond the "Fusion Form" and reach a higher level of "Balanced Form".

The two brothers pulled a rough sled and walked out of the stockade, leaving two long trails in the snow.

The heavy gate has not fallen.

About six minutes after they left, two black shadows also left the stockade and quietly followed, following the traces left on the ground.

……

The wind is blowing.

Withstanding the raging cold wind, Tianhao and Tianmad pulled their feet out of the ankle-deep snow along the rugged rocks, and marched slowly and with difficulty to the north.

He was wrapped in a robe sewn from animal skins, rough but warm enough. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see that there are needle pines that are more than 100 years old, densely stacked, covering every corner of the mountain range, filling every space occupied by white snowdrifts.

Slightly hunched and dragging the sled, he trotted forward on the complex and impassable ground that was originally covered with rocks and completely covered with snow. The brain quickly replayed the topographical images of the area in the spring time, fissures, mountain streams, stone crevices...... Whenever he encounters these dangerous areas covered by snow, Tianhao will urge Tianmad to accelerate in advance, and then bounce up leisurely with the help of the power of his thigh backpedal, his body stretches out in the air, and then shrinks and curls, lightly crossing the trap that is fatal enough but cannot be seen by the naked eye, gently falling to the ground like a feather, and then continuing to run forward.

This is the way he trained to run before he fell asleep. Labor-saving, lightweight, and able to maximize the advantages of the human body.

Of course, a single maned bear can't feed hundreds of people in Panshi Village for an entire winter. Since he had made a promise in the presence of the leader of the stockade and the old priest, he had to do what he had promised.

In this day and age, the power of the individual is so small.

He had to keep the women behind and get the first supporters in the stockade.

Tian Mad loosened the rope on his shoulder, turned over slightly, and said in a low voice: "Third child, someone is following us behind." ”

Tianhao chuckled disappreciatively, "That's their freedom. ”

Exposed to the wind and sun all year round, the roughness of the skin of the heavenly madness is comparable to that of some beasts. Seemingly rude, he also has a delicate side: "It should be the people in the stockade." I said yesterday that I was going to get a few wounds on that bear, but you said it wasn't necessary. This kind of thing can't hide from the eyes of the leaders and priests, and Yonggang is not easy to fool there. I guess they definitely knew. ”

Tianhao smiled slightly and said no more.

……

The people in Panshi Village all knew the location of the nest of the nearby group of storm-maned bears, and also demarcated the general range of wild beasts. For the villagers, this is a no-go zone.

Putting down the skid and choosing an upwind position, Tianhao took out a bag full of blood from his arms and splashed it on the ground.

This is the bear's blood that was pre-received last night, and it will not be frozen in the arms. In such a low temperature environment, it only takes a few seconds for it to condense into ice cubes, but the smell of blood has already been dissipated, and it can be quickly detected by the maned bear's keen sense of smell.

In the distance, two dark shadows appeared on the snow, rapidly approaching this place.

Tianmad was a little eager to try, and also a little worried: "The third child, why did you come to two ends at once?" ”

Tian Hao untied the bag on his shoulder, took out a few meatballs about the size of a miniature volleyball, and handed them to Tian Mad: "No matter how much you come, it's the same." Take it, just like you did yesterday, and throw it hard! ”

The strength of the heavenly madness is indispensable at this time. He threw the meatballs out with all his suffocating strength, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, landing exactly near the dark shadow that was hurrying towards it.

Tianhao leaned on a needle pine and watched the Tianmad performance in a leisurely posture. This kind of strength work is very simple, and he can do it himself. It's just that someone does it for him, and he doesn't want to move, which is also in line with the lazy nature of the host.

The world's maned bears do not hibernate.

They obviously didn't think about where these meatballs that fell from the sky came from. See the food. Immediately gave up the chase for the smell of blood. The hard, cold meatballs weren't a problem for their thick stomachs at all, and they scrambled to eat them, swallowing them one bite at a time.

The bear's blood, which had congealed into ice, was covered with snow by the sky. Tianhao stared at the storm-maned bear who had lost the source of the smell but was unwilling to leave, and was still wandering in place to look for it, and silently sighed with an expressionless face.

The host who was parasitized by himself may indeed be a lazy man, but his observation and understanding of the world far exceeds that of any villager in the Rock Village. Without the host's long-term scrutiny of the maned bears, their plans would lack the necessary information, at least not now.

Time is ticking.

Tianhao, who was silently calculating in his heart, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "It's almost." ”

That's what he said yesterday. With his previous experience, the Celestial Maniac had added more convincing to his brother. He drew his saber and slammed the tip of his spear a few times with a crisp metal crash.

The two hearing maned bears immediately found the source of the sound and ran wildly in this direction.

At a distance of more than sixty meters from the two brothers, their speed slowed down significantly. The two giant bears let out a terrifying roar with their backs facing the sky, blood spurting from their mouths and noses, and huge bear paws clawed at their chests, falling to the ground and rolling back and forth. His head hit the tree, and a large cloud of snow fell. The sharp bear teeth gnawed wildly on the bark, and the volume of the roar weakened as the energy was rapidly drained, and the anger in it could not be heard, but more of a wail.

After tossing for more than ten minutes, until the two maned bears were completely dead, Tianhao and Tianmad slowly walked over, and the two of them grabbed the furry paws of the huge prey respectively, and lifted them up the skid with great difficulty.

……

The Rock Village erupted in even more ecstasy than yesterday.

Hunted two tyrannical bears, this is the first time in the history of Rock Village.

What's even more incredible is that the hunters are just two young men.

Adult tyrannical bears are more than four meters long and weigh more than half a ton. Together with the meat that was distributed yesterday, it is enough for the whole village to last for a long time. There is no need to eat people, and there is no need to exchange women for food in other villages.

Fu Song and Wu Xing did not come out to greet them as they did yesterday. The captain of the hunt, Yonggang, squeezed into the crowd, pulled him out, who was being cheered by the villagers, walked into a secluded corner, and said in an unquestioning tone, "Come with me, the leader wants to see you." ”

The fire in the big wooden house was still burning, and the smoke was a little choking, but it drove away the biting cold. The leader Fu Song and the sacrificial witch line sat opposite the fire pit, and Yonggang sat next to Tianhao, and the three of them were like an invisible cage, imprisoning him to death.

The door was shut. Tianhao could hear the breath of at least four people outside, all of them strong adult men.

The leader, Fu Songqing, coughed and asked seriously, "Ah Hao, what method did you and Tianmad use to hunt those tyrannical bears?" ”

The old priest's face was full of seriousness: "You tell us honestly, did you use evil witchcraft?" ”

Hunting captain Yonggang added next to him: "When you went out with Tianmad this morning, Siyu and Ali followed. They saw the whole process of your hunting. First with blood, then a few things were thrown at the bears to eat, and then the bears died. ”

The barbarians of the north have some taboos that must never be touched, and evil witchcraft is one of them. Weakening targets through mystical rituals is a popular method among many sects in the United Kingdom of the South. In particular, the most powerful "Church of God" is said to be the source of evil witchcraft. The reason why the North and the South are eternal enemies is that evil witchcraft plays an important role in this. It is impossible for any barbarian tribe to accept members who use evil sorcery. Once discovered, they were put to death on the spot.

Tianhao had expected the leaders of the village to interrogate him like this yesterday. His thin face was full of seriousness and determination: "I hate evil witchcraft, I will never be able to touch it, let alone use that filthy thing." ”

A sonorous voice is convincing in itself. The three leaders of the village breathed a sigh of relief. The Stalker came back earlier than Tianhao and Tianmad, and they had never even heard of such a hunting method. But either way, as long as it's not evil witchcraft, it means that things won't go in the worst direction.
