Chapter 2 Hunting

Early the next morning, when the sun had not yet "come out", Gu Chen was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, hurry up, the sun is drying your buttocks!" There were bursts of warbler whispers outside the door, like a spring breeze blowing on his cheeks, which was comforting.

Gu Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door worriedly, and suddenly, a shadow couldn't help but take Gu Chen's hand and rushed out.

"Brother Gu, the hunting team is about to assemble and set off, why are you still sleeping?" Gu Wutong took Gu Chen's hand with an excited and anxious face and ran towards the entrance of the village.

Gu Chen was a little surprised when he was pulled away before he could react, but because it was a familiar figure, he was also suppressed by the dislike of waking up in his heart.

Gu Chen looked at Gu Wutong in front of him, and was amazed by her appearance today, only to see Gu Wutong combing a charming ponytail, wearing a plain long skirt, clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals

Feeling the white and delicate little hands, Gu Chen's heart fluttered. But suddenly something came to mind, and suddenly asked:

"Isn't it still half an hour before we leave? Second Uncle and they arrived so early?"

"Eh, isn't it the first time you've set out on a hunt, my dad wants to tell you in advance about the things to pay attention to when hunting. Gu Wutong pursed his tender lips, as if he was dissatisfied with Gu Chen's confused head.

Gu Liren has only one daughter under his knees, and that is Gu Wutong. In fact, Gu Chen and Gu Wutong were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but the news of their birth first reached his second uncle's house, so it is unknown who came first and who came later. After that, Gu Chen became Gu Wutong's cousin.

Gu Chen only understood at this time, nodded secretly, and ran along the road towards the entrance of the village together.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Gu Chen saw a group of people standing together, each with their own tools and weapons, ready to go.

"Dad!Dad!I've brought Brother Gu here!" Gu Wutong kept waving her hands, as if to show her exploits to everyone.

Everyone at the entrance of the village was amused by this naughty little girl, and they also waved their hands in response like Gu Wutong.

When Gu Chen and the others came to everyone, Gu Chen greeted them one by one with a humble face:

"Second Uncle, Big Brother Ye, Big Brother Quan, Big Brother Tian, good morning!"

Gu Chen carefully looked at the familiar hunting team members, some of them were carrying knives, some were carrying bows, some were wearing swords at their waists, and some were unarmed, but their bodies were extremely burly.

Gu Liren is a sturdy middle-aged man, and his skin is extremely rough and his face is black and yellow due to his perennial hunting, which is the same as most people in Gujia Village, and he can't see anything special. But his eyes are particularly sharp when he has been practicing martial arts all year round.

And Gu Ye, like Gu Quan, is a relatively thin middle-aged man, with a bow on his back and a sword, and his face reveals a shrewdness.

Gu Chen didn't dare to underestimate them because of their appearance, although the two of them were only martial arts fifth-tier heavens, but the two of them had worked together to kill a black water python at the peak of the martial artist sixfold heavens, and they were unharmed.

The last person was Gu Tian, I saw that his body was powerful, his height was a head taller than the other three, his thick arms reflected his extraordinary strength, and a scar on his face from the corner of his right eye to his chin was hideous and terrifying. Paradoxically, Gu Tian always has a kind face, which makes most people in Gujia Village dislike to come into contact with him.

Only Gu Chen would shout every time he saw Gu Tian: Brother Tian. This made Gu Tian have a very good impression of Gu Chen, and every time he finished hunting, he would give a few catties of meat to Gu Chen's family. It made the people in the village very angry.

Gu Tian is the strength of the martial artist Liuzhongtian, but many people list him as a figure of the same class as Gu Wutou and Gu Liren, nothing else, just because Gu Tian has practiced martial arts all over his body.

"Chenzi, do you know what hunting is?" asked Gu Liren.

Gu Chen didn't know the word hunting, so he only knew that hunting could bring game to eat on the mountain, and he also heard that there were precious treasures such as spirit fruits and spirit grass on the mountain.

Looking at Gu Chen, who looked puzzled, Gu Liren smiled and said, "When I hunted for the first time, the old hunter in the village also asked me the same question, and I didn't know how to answer it either. ”

"The essence of hunting is to bring food and clothing to the family, and many wild beasts have precious materials on their bodies that can be sold to merchants, but at the same time, opportunities and dangers go hand in hand, and the only and most important thing I want to say to you is: watch your step!" Gu Liren said solemnly.

When Gu Liren finished saying those four words, the air suddenly became quiet, and even Gu Wutong, who had always been lively and talkative, looked at Gu Chen solemnly, as if these four words contained incredible magic.

Gu Chen realized the seriousness, looked at a few people, and firmly remembered the four words "pay attention to your step" in his heart.

Looking at Gu Chen, who seemed to understand, Gu Liren spoke: "Every time the village arrives at the Martial Artist Triple Heaven, the hunting team will take it into the mountain once, mainly to let you know about creatures like beasts, with us, there will be no danger, don't worry." ”

As soon as Gu Liren's words fell, there were shouts in the distance: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, my mother wants me to bring this peace charm to you." ”

Gu Chen looked at who it was, and found that it was his own little egg.

Erdan ran to Gu Chen, handed the peace charm in his hand to Gu Chen, and said, "Brother Chen, my mother knows that you are going hunting today, and she specially made a peace charm last night, and I want me to hand it over to you this morning." ”

Gu Chen looked at the peace charm in his hand and found that it was made of ordinary cloth, almost the size of a palm, with the word "An" in the middle. The meticulous needlework on it, Gu Chen understood that this was Aunt Chen's heart, which made him feel warm in his heart.

Gu Chen tied the peace charm around his waist and said to Erdan, "Thank you for me!"

Erdan smiled hesitantly and said, "My mother said that it is all her own family, and she can't say thank you." ”

Gu Liren looked at the sun that had risen and said, "Okay, it's time to go." After saying that, a group of people took their things and headed towards the back mountain.

Gu Chen looked at the team that had already set off, waved his hand to Gu Wutong and Erdan, and followed closely behind their butts.

"Wutong, when do you think I can follow your father and them to hunt like Brother Chen?" Erdan looked at their backs and asked with envy.

Gu Wutong looked at Erdan with disdain, and said angrily: "It's just you, hum, it's still far away! You have half of my Brother Chen's talent." ”

Hearing Gu Wutong praise Brother Chen like this, Erdan's little face turned red, and he said unconvinced: "I must be a big hero in the future, and I will break into the world with Brother Chen!"

While the two were frolicking, the hunting team was about to reach their destination.

--------------------

"Whoosh!" an arrow shot at a running hare at an incredible speed, and the hare seemed to feel a great threat and ran desperately.

But with Gu Ye's archery skills, how could a mere hare run away.

"Woo!" the hare was shot by the arrow, and was carried by the force of the arrow and flew seven or eight meters away, and when he kicked his legs, he lost his breath of life.

"It's amazing!" Gu Chen looked at Gu Ye who was winding the arrow, bending the bow, shooting the arrow, and doing it in one go, the gold stars in his eyes kept popping up, and he exclaimed.

Gu Ye heard Gu Chen's praise, turned his head and raised his eyebrows, and said, "Amazing, I'm the number one archer in the village!"

"Come on, you, you can only shoot hares and other small animals with archery, the last time we killed the black anaconda, your archery hand kept shaking, I noticed it. When Gu Quan heard Gu Ye boast about himself like this, he hit him ruthlessly.

"You!" Gu Ye seemed to be stimulated by his words, but he didn't get angry, his eyes rolled, and he teased: "Eh, then your knife is really good, the last time I hunted a threaded tiger, I actually took the back of the knife to cut it, it's really powerful." ”

The two brothers were amused and laughed. In Gu Chen's opinion, the hunting team is not as nervous and serious as others say.

After the two finished fighting, Gu Liren took a knife and stepped forward to skillfully peel off the skin of the hare, so that the almost undamaged fur could be sold for 5 copper coins in the town.

You must know that 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins, in an area like Gujia Village, it is not bad for an ordinary family to earn 10 copper coins a day, and 1 gold coin can make an ordinary family live comfortably for a few months.

There are hunting teams in the nearby villages, but excellent archers like Gu Ye are the only ones, so it is not easy to harvest complete furs.

The group continued to march deeper into the mountains, and along the way, they found no other large beasts except for a few encounters such as hares and pheasants.

However, a group of people did not feel that there was anything wrong, because for the hunting team, not every hunt can be fully loaded, and it is also a common occurrence that no large beasts can be defeated.

Time passed minute by minute, and a few hours had passed since they hunted, walking on such a mountain, with Gu Chen's martial artist Sanchongtian's physical fitness, he didn't feel a trace of fatigue, as if he was just walking.

However, unlike the state when he first entered the mountain, Gu Chen's spirit was no longer as tense as before, but began to relax slowly, because he felt that this was not like what the people in the village said, a tiger that could breathe fire, a wolf with a mouth that could emit a wind blade, and all he encountered were creatures that did not pose a threat.

Suddenly, there was a low roar in front of the crowd.

"Alert!Gu Tian, pay attention to protect Chenzi!" Gu Liren said suddenly, and he took the sword behind him out of its sheath.

It was a sword 3 feet long and half a foot wide, with no lines on it, a smooth blade that shone in the sun, and a sharp tip that made it easy to pierce everything.

Everyone took out the weapons on their bodies, and Gu Tian also put on a posture, he wanted to protect Gu Chen's safety and not let him be hurt in the slightest. And Gu Chen didn't know what the creature that roared was, he just felt an inexplicable fear, and his body unconsciously leaned towards Gu Tian.

The creature finally came out of the bushes, it was a wind wolf. It is one meter four high and two meters long. The cyan wolf swayed as it walked, and its two large, fleshy fangs were formidable.

"Run, it's the wind wolf!" Gu Quan shouted after seeing the comer, turning his head and wanting to run.

Everyone in the hunting team knows that the wind wolf is a group of creatures as soon as they encounter it, ranging from seven or eight to dozens at most. What the hunting team is most afraid of is encountering such a group of wind wolves, although most of them only have the strength of level 3 beasts (level 1 beasts correspond to the martial artist one heavy heaven), but when a group comes down, almost no one can stop it.

"Wait, no, it seems like it's the only one. There were no wolves around!" Gu Liren stopped Gu Ye's movements, he noticed that something was wrong, this wolf didn't seem to be in its team.

After the wind wolf saw everyone, it opened its mouth wide, and the surrounding heaven and earth aura gathered in its mouth to form a wind blade, only to see that it only took a breath to condense, it roared, and shot the wind blade towards Gu Chen, who was the weakest.

"Get out of the way!" Gu Liren shouted after seeing that the wind wolf's target turned out to be Gu Chen. At this time, Gu Ye, Gu Quan, and Gu Liren were almost five meters away from Gu Chen, and it was too late to rescue.

The flying speed of the wind blade was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Gu Chen, who had never faced a beast, he was helpless, he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

That wind blade became bigger and bigger in Gu Chen's eyes, and his pupils contracted wildly, as if he sensed a deadly threat.

"It's over!" this was the voice that came to Gu Chen's mind.
