Chapter Twenty-Four: To Live
In a forest near Mt. Momiji.
Mu Fengtou wore a straw hat made of wicker, prostrate in a row of dense bushes, holding an iron gun in one hand, holding the ground in the other, bowing slightly, and was ready to attack.
Ten meters away from him, in another bush.
The wooden tiger also wore a straw hat, his body was lying dormant in place like a dragon, and a pair of tiger eyes glowed with cold light, staring at a mountain forest in front of him without blinking.
The clearing where the two of them were hiding was a must for the jungle beasts, and they had been dormant here for five or six hours.
"Why does Father have to stay here, wouldn't it be better to hunt some small beasts elsewhere......"
Roar......
After a gust of wind blew, a deafening tiger roar was heard in the mountains and forests.
Mu Feng hurriedly gathered his mind, his small black eyes were as bright as cold stars in the night, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Knock knock knock...... The earth trembled, and the sound of two galloping voices came from the depths of the jungle.
It didn't take long for Mu Feng to see an elk more than one meter tall taking swift steps and taking the lead in escaping from the mountains and forests.
In a clearing ten meters behind the elk.
A tiger with white eyes soaring on all fours, and the body of the tiger more than two meters long is like a red lightning, shuttling quickly between the tall trees.
Its target is the elk in front of it.
The elk is not as fast as the tiger, and in just ten breaths, the distance between the two is reduced to within two meters.
At the same time, the two also entered the ambush circle of Mu Feng and Mu Hu successively.
Roar......
With an earth-shattering tiger roar, the tiger pounced, and a pair of sharp tiger claws stabbed into the elk's buttocks.
The elk let out a terrible scream and collapsed in place, waving its four hooves desperately on the ground, but it could not stop the tiger's attack.
The tiger lowered its head, and a pair of fangs under its jaw stabbed fiercely at the elk's neck, and in a few ups and downs, the elk's head was torn to pieces.
A large explode of warm blood splashed down the elk's neck, and soon a pungent smell of blood filled the air around it.
Such a simple, crude and very bloody scene suddenly made Mu Feng stand on the spot, this was the first time he had gone into the mountains to hunt, he had never seen such a bloody side.
He crawled in the grass, his heart beating violently like a cunning rabbit, and under extreme tension, his left hand subconsciously gathered into a fist, crumpling several shrubs on the side.
Roar......
The tiger's ears and hearing are very keen, and as soon as the bushes on Mufeng's side made a light sound, it put down the elk, and the tiger's body turned in the air, and with the tiger's hooves, like a gust of wind, rushed towards Mufeng's side.
"Evil animal ......".
Mu Feng was shocked in his heart.
Under the great fright, he suddenly found that his hands and feet were a little disobedient, and the body refining spell he had practiced for several years had become empty talk at this moment.
The tiger's speed was fast, and it flew up in the clearing three meters away from Mu Feng, its mouth wide open, and the two fangs at the corners of its mouth were still dripping blood from the elk's body.
Looking at the big tiger that was getting closer and closer, Mu Feng panicked, and his legs trembled a little due to the excessive tension that he couldn't perform the Battle Heaven Decision.
At this moment, a fiery heat suddenly burst out from the diamond-shaped beast bone in his arms, and there seemed to be something inside that was about to break through.
"Go!"
At the same time, Mu Hu leaped up from the bushes on the other side, he held a seven-foot iron spear high, leaned back slightly, transferred the strength of his whole body to his right arm, and shook it suddenly.
The seven-foot iron spear drew an arc in the air, as fast as lightning, and pierced the tiger's neck with great precision.
Roar......
After a miserable tiger roar, the white-eyed tiger with a hanging forehead more than two meters long was dragged to the ground by the huge force contained in the iron spear.
The tiger landed, and the two-meter-long tiger body pressed many nearby shrubs to the waist, and at the same time, a cavity of red blood splashed out along the tiger's neck.
Under the blowing of the strong wind, a large piece of blood splashed on Mu Feng's body, and a trace of warmth contained in the blood made him break out in a cold sweat, his forehead was overflowing with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his handsome little face became very pale.
He shuddered, leaning on the support of the iron spear, and slowly rose from the bushes.
"Feng'er, why didn't you make a move just now!"
Mu Hu scolded angrily.
He took a big stride, and every time his feet stepped on the ground, the whole person could ride three meters in mid-air, and in a few jumps, he rushed to Mu Feng.
Mu Feng didn't seem to hear Mu Hu's reprimand, he turned around and ran to the place where the white-eyed tiger fell, squatted down, and reached out to probe the tiger's snort.
The tiger still had two warm air currents in its nostrils, but its eyes were dead white, and it was clear that it was completely dead.
"So this is killing!"
Mu Feng got up and looked at Mu Hu, and the horror on his little face gradually turned into solemnity.
Mu Hu walked over quickly, he squatted down, grabbed the tiger's head with one hand, and lifted the latter up with the other.
This big tiger weighing 300 kilograms was in his hands, like a little chicken, he put down the hemp rope from his back, and in a few strokes tied the tiger into a zongzi.
Mu Feng was stunned as he watched from the sidelines.
The wooden tiger's movements are very skillful, the moment he mentions the big tiger, the muscles between his right hand and arm bulge, at first glance, it looks like two dragons coiled together.
"This is the power of the Great Martial Artist of the Bone Realm!"
There was a hint of envy in Mu Feng's small eyes, and the solemnity on his face dissipated, replaced by a desire for great strength.
Mu Hu also seemed to notice the change in Mu Feng's expression, he carried the tiger on his shoulder, and said in a serious tone.
"Feng'er, my father's master once said: The world we live in is like a fierce beast in the jungle, the strong live, and the weak die. The tiger kills the elk, the elk devours the grass and trees, and everything in this world is so ruthless. ”
Mu Feng Jian frowned and said.
"Father, why do we have to hunt for food by killing? ”
When Mu Hu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a trace of helplessness, he turned to look in the direction of Hongye Village, and slowly spit out four big words - "To live"!
"To live!".
Mu Feng was thoughtful, and when he looked up again, Mu Hu had already picked up the big tiger on his back and walked quickly in the direction where the ethereal town was.
"Father ......".
He opened his mouth to say something, but the latter did not give him a chance to continue asking, and gradually disappeared around the corner of a small road, carrying the big tiger on his own shoulder.
The cold wind was murmuring, and the surrounding bushes were swaying in the wind, and there were some petite insects and ants in them.
At this moment, it has come to Shen, and the blazing sun above the sky has quietly moved towards the western horizon.
Mu Feng didn't dare to delay any longer.
He hurried to the place where the elk had fallen, stuck his iron spear on the ground with his backhand, leaned down, grabbed the elk by the neck with both hands, and carried the elk on his back with a single turn.
Then, he drew his iron spear, stepped away, and quickly chased after the wooden tiger.
The elk on his back weighed only more than a hundred catties, and an ordinary "Copper Skin Realm" martial artist could easily carry it on his shoulders.
Mu Feng's attainments in alchemy had reached the Copper Skin Realm, and this elk was not at all laborious for him.
As the sun set, the two had already turned back to the ethereal town.
Most of the fierce beasts in the Red Leaf Mountain are hidden deep in the mountains, and the two of them dare not go deeper, so they can only wait for the fierce beasts to come out on the periphery.
Most of the time, the hunters of the ethereal town will choose to hunt some small fierce beasts such as hares, wild boars, and few choose tigers, lions, leopards...... Waiting for the place where the big beasts are infested,
This time when he entered the mountain, although Mu Feng did not experience actual combat, he deeply realized the cruelty of this world.
To live! To live! Killing is inevitable...... This is Mu Feng's biggest gain from entering the mountain this time.
After Mu Feng returned home, Mu Yuchen screamed with envy, and immediately made a "grandiose" oath:
"Second brother, my father once said that if a boy wants to transform into a man, he must go through the baptism of blood. From tomorrow, I want to lose weight and strive to enter the mountain with you as soon as possible!"
Although Mu Xiaoyue is a girl, there is also a restless heart buried in her heart.
After her mother remarried Mu Hu, she often saw Mu Hu alone looking at the vast starry sky in the middle of the night, his face full of longing for the outside world.
Under the indirect influence of Mu Hu, she also wants to become a body refining martial artist, only in this way can she get out of the ethereal town and see the outside world.
"Second brother, how was the first hunting?"
"It's very thrilling, exciting, and if you pay attention, you will be in danger of dying. ”
This is Mu Feng's advice to Mu Xiaoyue.
Although he was only ten years old, his mind far surpassed that of his peers, and with his keen observation, he could see Mu Xiaoyue's mind at a glance.
After dinner, Mu Feng did not participate in the task of peeling tiger skins and elk skins, but entered the room early to get ready for bed.
Such a task was too cruel for his kind, young heart.
Mu Yuchen was very concerned about this, he had an inexplicable excitement about blood, and as soon as dinner was over, he shouted to peel off the tiger skin.
Time flies, the silver moon and the stars seem to have been discussed, and the bright moonlight and bright starlight shine through the window lattice, obliquely transmitted to the wooden house directly east of the courtyard.
On the bed in the wooden house, Mu Yuchen was already sleeping in the bed, but Mu Feng couldn't sleep.
He stared up blankly at the starry sky outside the window lattice and muttered softly.
"What are the blue-gray silk silk and this beast bone? In order to live, man must hunt fierce beasts? I ......."
"The strong live, the weak die, this is the eternal law of the jungle, the demon race is like this, and the human race is the same. ”
An extremely abrupt old voice abruptly interrupted Mu Feng's words.
