Chapter 6 Hunting
Peach Blossom Village, this mysterious village, is so mysterious, it is because he is in the depths of the Xuanxing Forest, and it is not difficult to find it in the depths of the forest, but this is a forest where slightly stronger monks will not come at all, so for so many years, no one has ever discovered the existence of Peach Blossom Village.
Except, the people who themselves grew up in the village.
Therefore, after the Seventh Prince saved the Lingxi that time, those people who fell into the Divine Stream never dared to come again.
First, they were afraid of the Seventh Prince.
Second, they were not sure that they would find the figure of the spirit rhino in this huge Xuanxing Forest. Therefore, for more than a year, Lingxi has spent a peaceful year in Peach Blossom Village.
......
Taohua Village is sparsely populated, and everyone in the village must work to barely meet the needs of the villagers.
Therefore, in order to allow the next generation not to rely on their parents, the elders in the village trained the younger generations to survive from the bottom.
Hunting is also one of the basic survival skills.
Fortunately, outside the village is the Xuanxing Forest, there are many wild beasts, and there are not many powerful ones, so it happens to be a natural hunting ground training ground.
In this year, there were four juniors in the village,
Qiyu, Lingxi, Jingxue, and Qiming.
Qiyu and Qiming are seven years old this year, Jingxue is five years old, and Lingxi is two months younger than Jingxue.
It's the age when you're waiting for school!
It's just dawning, and the rooster is already crowing!
All the juniors were gathered at the gate of Peach Blossom Village by their parents, each carrying a large bow and countless sharp arrows.
However, I didn't see any discomfort in them, and some just wanted to prove their high morale.
The one who walked in front of them was Uncle Seven.
Uncle Seven didn't talk much nonsense, only said: "Let's go!"
"Yes!" the four replied loudly in unison.
......
Deep in the Xuanxing Forestโโ
Uncle Seven is still waiting for the return of these children in the old place, and the hunt is held once a year. Everyone is already familiar with the rules.
Return to the position of the seventh uncle before sunset, and whoever has more prey will win!
The rules are simple, but they are very clear.
When they arrived at the place of separation, Qiyu and Qiming nodded to each other, and then Qiyu pulled Lingxi in one direction, and Qiming pulled Jingxue in the other direction.
The two of them are the main objects of competition for prey, and there used to be a second mao, but last year Ermao left Peach Blossom Village, so now there are only the two of them.
As for Jingxue and Lingxi, it's too late for the two of them to love animals, so how can they bear to kill them?
Not far away, the occasional sound of an arrow piercing the air can be heard, and occasionally the sound of an arrow piercing the flesh is heard, which is the sound of a prey being shot.
The sun gradually moved with the shadows of the trees, and the shadows gradually fell from the west to the east.
Qiyu and Qiming met.
"Qiming!" Qiyu saw Qiming from a distance, and walked over with Lingxi.
Qi Ming turned around: "Qiyu!"
The two walked in slowly, looking at the prey in each other's hands, and both of them smiled bitterly at the same time: "How come!"
Qiyu is holding five prey in his hands, and Qiming is not in his hands!
All sides looked at each other and smiled wryly.
"Let's go, we must decide the winner today. Qiyu looked at Qiming and said with a smile.
"That's exactly what I mean!" Qi Ming suddenly came, and he hurriedly agreed.
"But it's almost dark, and Uncle Seven said that we have to rush back before it gets dark, is it too late?" Jingxue looked at the sky and said with some concern.
"It's too late, or you and Lingxi go back first, and we'll be back right away. Qiming also looked at the sky, it was indeed about to get dark, and said to Jingxue.
"No, we are a group, how can there be any reason to leave alone, it's a big deal to be punished together!" Jingxue took Lingxi's hand and said mischievously.
Lingxi looked at Qiyu and nodded with a smile.
"Okay!" Qiyu looked at the three of them, waved his hand proudly, and marched farther into the depths of the Xuanxing Forest.
The sun's rays are getting weaker and weaker, and the shadows behind the trunks are getting thicker. The sky is getting darker and darker.
The Xuanxing Forest after dusk was more dangerous than the daylight, and the four of Qiyu did not separate, but walked towards the forest together.
The Xuanxing Forest in the dusk is another kind of scenery, and it is a different style compared to the daytime scenery.
"Well, these boys, why haven't they come back yet. After saying that, Uncle Seven stood up and walked towards the forest.
As the light in the forest dimmers, the sight of the public becomes darker.
However, this does not affect everyone's curiosity and competitiveness, as the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, not to mention calves like them who have come many times, so everyone only thinks about walking deeper into the forest, where they still remember the words that Uncle Seven told them year after year.
The four of them looked around, and saw a pair of red eyes in the grass, thinking that it was an ordinary rabbit, so they motioned to everyone not to make trouble, and quietly found an arrow from behind.
Draw the bowstring......
Bite......
But he did not hear the sound of the sharp weapon piercing the flesh, but the sound of the iron striking against a hard object.
Before everyone could react, the eyes suddenly moved, and the speed was very fast, and the fast four people had already arrived in front of the four before they could react.
"Run!" shouted somebody. Qiyu was the first to react, but instead of running away, he smashed the bow in his hand towards those red eyes.
However, the force was too strong, and the bow was elastic, so he didn't smash those eyes away, but smashed the bow in his hand away.
However, it also made those eyes pause for a moment, but what awaited them was that the eyes were even more angry.
Qi Ming also reacted at this time, and hurriedly grabbed Jing Xue and Lingxi's hands and ran back.
At this time, it was only at the moment when those eyes stopped that everyone could see clearly what these eyes were.
It was a snake, with thick arms, six or seven feet long, its venomous eyes glowing dark red, and its sharp fangs dripping with venom outward.
Where the venom fell, the originally green blades of grass hissed and were directly turned into powder.
Qiyu and Qiming looked at this scene, gasped, only hated the lack of two pairs of legs, pulled up Lingxi and Jingxue and ran desperately.
But how could they outrun this fast, invisible snake?
In almost a few breaths, the snake was in front of them, and its eyes looked at them as if they were dead.
"Snake, die. Qi Ming couldn't stand his vicious eyes, and if you looked at him closely, you could see that his legs were trembling right now. To be able to say that cruel sentence, it should have used the last bit of courage.
If it weren't for the two girls in the back who wanted him to protect, I guess he would have collapsed there by now.
The snake finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched a fierce attack, really not attacking, and directly taking their weakest point with an attack.
However, the place where the snake judges is - the spirit rhino.
The Spirit Rhino is the youngest of the four, and the one who seems to be the weakest. Therefore, the snake bypassed Qiyu and Qiming and flew towards the spirit rhino.
The huge body set off a gust of wind, and the two cold fangs stabbed towards the spirit rhinoceros inconspicuously.
Everyone was in despair, because it was too late to stop it, it was so fast that it was too fast to be seen with the naked eye.
"Lingxi!" Qiyu's fastest reaction was only to grab Lingxi's hand.
In a breath, the fangs came to the front of the spirit rhino.
Bite......
There was no heart-wrenching sound of fangs piercing into flesh, but the sound of fangs striking against iron.
When everyone reacted, the snake had already retreated a few steps away, and the spirit rhino was still standing there intact, but there was an extra sword in his hand.
The name of the sword is Su Xue, a cold white sword.
It was the sword that Dripping Water Wuzun left for her when she was about to fall when she fled for her life a year ago, and she had never taken it out of Danheng when she was in Peach Blossom Village, but now she had to take it out.
Su Xue exuded a cold white light, quickly driving away the black that was gradually approaching around, Lingxi stared at the snake a little nervously, just now Su Xue Jian sensed that Lingxi was in danger, and the protector forcibly flew out of Lingxi's Danheng, and after repelling the snake, it fell into Lingxi's hands.
Looking at the sword that had just knocked it back, the snake's eyes became even more gloomy.
It can be seen that there are a few scales on the lower jaw of the snake, and the neat incision makes people can't help but imagine the sharpness of the sword.
In the end, the snake took advantage of everyone's inattention, flicked its tail, and threw it at everyone.
A huge pressure mixed with dust floating on the ground hit everyone, and Lingxi hurriedly transported crystal energy to resist that pressure.
After a while, when the dust finally dissipated, there was still the figure of the snake there, and it was estimated that the tail flick just now was just for the luck of escape later.
Qi Ming saw that the snake had fled, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and laughed loudly: "It turned out to be a thing that bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, hahaha......"
Then everyone laughed. This feeling of escaping death is absolutely delightful.
The seventh uncle, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the four of them and thought, "Even a venomous snake like the Fengshuo poisonous snake can be repelled, and this child is not simple." โ
Uncle Seven took another sip of wine......
