Volume 2 The Great World Chapter 133, Into the Mountains to Hunt
During the long conversation throughout the night, Ma Yang learned that this area was ruled by a race known as the Quicksand Protoss, and that the villages on the outskirts were inhabited by scattered members who did not belong to the Quicksand Protoss, and these members were called the Clans.
As a dependent, the obligation is to hand over the grain regularly and in a certain amount, but in turn they will be protected by the quicksand gods, and they can also grow grain and raise livestock in the nearby land.
The quicksand gods are very casual in terms of taxation, which leads to an extremely large number of dependents joining in, and there are often small-scale frictions in order to compete for territory.
That's why militiamen armed with spears patrol at night, for fear that someone will take advantage of the darkness to appear in the village and wreak havoc.
Every once in a while, there would be a contest to decide the ownership of the vacant land between neighboring villages, a decision made by the Quicksand Protoss in desperation after arbitrating too many land disputes.
It seems that no matter what world you are in, the supremacy of strength is always the last word. At Ma Yang's level of life, sleeping is no longer important, so he simply goes into the mountain with the hunters when the sky is bright.
In the early morning, the sky had not yet dawned, and the hunters had already gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Yo! Basha! It's late today! Who is this little brother next to you? I've never seen it! A bearded hunter pulled at the top of his throat and hugged him.
"He's a distant relative of mine, and something happened at home, and now he's coming to me." The hunter who had a long conversation with Ma Yang carried a broad-bladed double knife on his back, a chain around his waist, and a shotgun in his hand.
Ma Yang greeted the hunters, fortunately, these strong men were very bold and did not ask too much, and a few elders kindly told him not to lose his confidence in life.
The hunting grounds are in the mountains not far away, where there is a huge amount of prey.
As the hunters came to the foot of the mountain, the green trees that Ma Yang had never seen before could be seen everywhere.
"There are many wild boars and hares living in this mountain forest, and they usually hunt these animals, but they generally do not go deeper into the mountain forest, and it is said that there are terrible creatures in it." Basha said as he skillfully placed the traps that needed to be laid in the right places.
Ma Yang sat on the boulder next to him and watched everyone's actions, thinking about what to do next.
He didn't know what the cosmic dust looked like, but he was sure that it would definitely appear in this world.
I simply took advantage of this free time to expand my mental power to the surroundings and try to gather useful information.
"Ma Yang! I've caught a boar here! Let's help! On the other side of the forest, there was a sudden commotion, and a boar weighing several hundred pounds was struggling in a trap.
The boar has been tied up with a rope, Ma Yang grabbed the rope and used it gently, and the boar was pulled out of the trap directly.
"That's a lot of strength!" The surrounding hunters exclaimed.
The strength of both arms can pull hundreds of pounds of boar out of the trap, which is not something ordinary people can have.
Sensing the gaze around him, Ma Yang realized that he had forgotten to hide
Hide your strength. Showing this strange strength in front of ordinary people will make the people around you panic if you don't do it well.
"Strength is innate, and a few hundred catties is still trivial." Ma Yang stretched out his arm and showed the muscles of his arm to the big guy.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the depths, and the birds scattered in all directions.
"Hurry up and haul the boar back! The beast is here again! Before everyone could move, a roar came closer, and Ma Yang drew the short knife he was carrying, jumped up from the ground, and rushed into the shade of the tree.
"Wow, it's a real dragon!" Ma Yang looked at the source of the roar in surprise, the giant beast with wings behind it and crawling on the ground, at this time was staring at the creature that suddenly appeared with terrifying eyes, perhaps sensing hostility, and opened its bloody mouth towards Ma Yang.
The fishy smell emanating from the giant mouth made Ma Yang frown, and his body was slightly stiff to dodge, and the giant mouth destroyed the trees behind him and swallowed it directly.
In Ma Yang's eyes, the dragon moved very slowly, and while it was able to dodge easily, it saw the opportunity to slide, Ma Yang appeared in the dragon's abdomen, and with the help of the impact, he directly inserted the short knife into the dragon's neck, and slid all the way to the tail.
The short knife in his hand was directly shattered by the dragon's hard skin, but fortunately, the dragon was cut in half, and blood and internal organs flowed out of the dragon's body.
"What is this?" In the mountains of flesh and blood, Ma Yang reached out and took out a fist-sized crystal, which still exuded a hot touch.
There seemed to be a trace of fire dancing inside the crystal, and Ma Yang gently crushed the crystal, allowing the energy to gush out and drill directly into his body along the palm of his hand.
This subtle energy came to the dantian and was directly integrated into the fire.
"No wonder it feels familiar, this energy is of the same origin as the fire, it can't be by hunting these creatures to make the fire evolve, right?" Sensing a trace of enhanced power in the dantian, Ma Yang had the idea of going into the depths to verify it.
Seeing Ma Yang leaping into the forest, Basha did not hesitate and loaded the shotgun and rushed in.
As the hunters walked through the woods, they happened to see Ma Yang reach out and take out the hedron from the flesh and crush it.
"He crushed the dragon crystal? Am I not mistaken? ”
"It's really Dragon Crystal! Basha, your relative is a little too fierce! Seeing that only the hilt of the knife was left in Ma Yang's hand, the people present still didn't understand that it was the young man in front of him who killed the dragon.
Even the powerhouses of the Quicksand Protoss had a hard time breaking through the dragon's skin, and this man could easily cut the dragon apart with just an ordinary sword.
Ma Yang didn't feel that it was too difficult, because the strength of this dragon was relatively ordinary, and there was no earth-destroying spell like the legend, and in his eyes, it was just a mountain boar with relatively hard armor.
Basha didn't expect the other party's strength to be so terrifying, even he was a little afraid to move forward at this time.
"There should be a way to deal with this meat, right? I'm not very good at butcher means. Ma Yang realized that his actions had frightened these ordinary people, and hurriedly dodged away and took the initiative to release kindness.
After a pause of a few seconds, it was Basha who took the lead
With the twin knives in his hands, he began to decompose the dragon corpse like a small mountain, regardless of the blood stained.
Seeing this, the other hunters also swarmed up, and although the dragon should still be in its infancy, it was still much larger than a human.
Even the dragon's blood was filled with a container that he carried with him, and the sack that was originally containing the spirits was emptied and used to collect the dragon's blood.
Although he didn't know what the specific effect was, Ma Yang also took out some containers and squeezed out bright red blood from the dragon's internal organs.
After all, the longer it is left unattended, the more dragon's blood will seep into the soil, which will cause a lot of waste.
"Babion! You can't even resist dragon meat, you're still digging in the dirt! ”
"Don't act like you haven't seen anything of the world!"
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the young hunter carried the cloth bag mixed with dragon's blood dirt behind his back.
Even the boar didn't care about bringing it back, and spent half a day dissecting the dragon corpse. Of course, Ma Yang carried the heaviest shelf on his back, and hung the dissected dragon meat on the shelf with the branches of the trees that had just been cut down from the forest, and from a distance, Ma Yang looked like he was carrying a hill on his back.
The sun shines brightly in the sky at noon, which makes Ma Yang, who has not felt the warm sunlight for a long time, enjoy it.
What kind of existence does this world really have? It has an earth-like environment, with the sun and moon in the sky, but there are also mythical creatures like dragons.
In contrast, it is not so strange that he has obtained this ability by relying on the evolution of the life level.
Most of the villagers were busy in the fields during this time, and the hunters who came from the entrance of the village naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Each person carried a wooden shelf on their backs that did not match their size, and on these improvised shelves, as much dragon meat was piled up as much as possible.
Especially when I saw Ma Yang, I could hardly see the existence of people from a distance, and the villagers put down their farm work one after another and came to the only road that passed through the entrance of the village.
Hearing the news, the village chief rushed over with a cane in his hand and rushed over as fast as he could, and whenever he saw the face of Basha, who was the leader, was covered with blood, the village chief thought that they were in a battle, and hurriedly came to check.
"Village Chief! We all have nothing to do, you see what this is! Basha was also excited, although he had slain dragons before, but it was only with sixty experienced hunters and a trap that had been prepared that he had succeeded in slaying an already wounded dragon.
When the village chief's hand caressed the fresh pieces of meat, his wrinkled cheeks were wet with tears left at some point.
In recent years, the people in the village have been thriving, and there are many young people as new forces, and now is the time when nutrition is most needed. But despite the hunters' repeated efforts, they were unable to obtain enough food.
"It's dragon meat! Is this dragon meat? The old village chief asked incredulously.
"These, these are dragon meat, and there is a lot of dragon blood!" Basha directly stacked the pieces of meat at the entrance of the village, and the village chief worked to distribute the dragon meat to each household.
"Young man, I don't know how to thank you. Please bow down to the old man
! Seeing that the village chief trembled and wanted to let go of the crutches and kneel, Ma Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, not knowing how much pressure the old man was bearing, and he would cry bitterly when he saw hope.
"Uncle, don't, I also killed this dragon casually, why are you so excited?"
"This village is looking to develop better and better, but it is the time when the green and yellow are not available, but the quicksand god clan has been fighting for many years, and the young adults in the village who have been recruited in the past have not come back yet, and most of them have died on the battlefield." The village chief said this, and the tears flowed uncontrollably.
Basha patted Ma Yang on the shoulder, signaling not to continue asking, and the strong young man behind the village chief also helped the village chief to sit on the stone pier on the side of the road.
That night, the stoves of the villagers began to make dragon meat according to the different tastes of each family, but the elders did not move, but watched with a smile as the children devoured the paper.
