"You're going hunting in the mountains?"

And those twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers changed their expressions slightly at this time, and their hearts chuckled, their eyes were a little panicked, and Mo Fan also showed a look of surprise, obviously shocked by this sudden news.

After all, in Mo Fan's memory, the barren mountains and forests were too dangerous and terrifying, full of terrifying beasts and poisonous insects, and every time the clansmen of the hunting team returned from hunting, some people would be injured with blood, and even some clansmen would lose their lives, which was almost synonymous with death and despair.

Although he often left the mountains where the tribe was located to go outside to pick medicinal herbs, he did not dare to leave the tribe too far, and every time he only searched among several mountains near the tribe, never leaving the tribe more than ten miles away.

However, the tribe hunts in the mountains and forests at least a dozen miles away, which is too dangerous, testing their survival and hunting ability, if there is a little accident, or a moment of carelessness, I am afraid that life will wither in an instant.

However, according to the hunting tradition of the tribe, all the clansmen who have reached the perfection of the forging realm must go hunting in the old forest with the hunting team, which is the experience and test that every clansman must undergo on the road of growth, without exception.

Only by experiencing the baptism of blood can the children of the tribe mature as soon as possible, practice and master the hunting experience taught to them by the previous clan elders, break through the realm of cultivation, and hunt fierce beasts and obtain food for the tribe's clansmen in the future. This is also the fundamental reason why the mountain tribes have been able to survive for generations.

Although they all knew that there would be a day sooner or later, they were ready to meet it, but when the day came, they were all caught off guard and changed color at the same time.

Sure enough, Mo Fan also found that all the young cultivators who came to the meeting were all in the perfect realm of forging, such as Mo Shan standing behind the hunting leader Mo Xiong and Mo Ning behind Mo Li.

Then, Mo Fan's mood gradually calmed down, and he understood that the experience in the mountains and forests had become a fact and would not change, so he continued to listen to the discussions of the clansmen, hoping to obtain as much useful knowledge and information as possible.

Itinerant merchants are caravans formed by outside villages and towns to purchase and transport the special goods of the tribe for trading with distant villages or tribes.

Traveling merchants are rare and not seen every year.

Whenever the outside merchants arrived, their caravans of pack beasts would always be full of goods, trading with the tribes of the nearby tribes, exchanging weapons and other things forged from fine iron for the specialties of the mountains, so the arrival of the traveling merchants was often the most lively time for the tribe.

Almost every tribe will attach great importance to the arrival of the traveling merchants, and the tribesmen of the tribe need the good things in the hands of the traveling merchants, and they have prepared enough things to trade in advance.

At this time, a clan elder with white hair looked at Mo Yuan and asked, "Ah Yuan, how did you know that the traveling merchant would come this year?"

"Brother, when I was traveling abroad, I once met a person, he is now the patriarch of a tribe, and their tribe happens to have a caravan, he also came to my Mo tribe two years ago with the caravan, I agreed with him that the traveling merchants of their tribe will come at least once every two years. Mo Yuan explained with a smile

"Oh, I see!" everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time confirmed the news that the traveling merchant was coming, their expressions were very excited, their hearts were hot, and they were ready to do a big job.

"Uncle, since you know that the traveling merchant is coming, it's better to do the two things together. Patriarch Mo Long was also extremely excited when he heard Mo Yuan's words, and after thinking for a while, he suggested.

"Yes, uncle, bring more clansmen these days, and let the children follow, the clansmen can not only take care of them, achieve the effect of training, avoid premature death, but also hunt as many fierce beasts as possible to trade with the traveling merchants. At this time, headhunter Mo Xiong also spoke.

"Well, that's good!" the clansmen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, since everyone has agreed, then after five days, let's prepare to go into the mountains and forests to hunt! Let the children prepare well in the next few days!" Seeing that the clansmen agreed, the clan elder Mo Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"Good!"

The tribesmen all spoke in response.

With that, everyone walked out of the stone house where they were in deliberation, and went about their other business and preparations for the hunt in five days.

Walking out of the stone house, Mo Fan was about to go to the open space of the tribe, preparing to take out the medicinal herbs picked this morning from the animal skin bag and dry them on the boulder, when Abba Molong's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Afan, come with me. ”

"Well, Abba, here we are. ”

When Mo Fan heard this voice, he immediately turned around and walked towards Mo Long.

"Afan, in five days you will be hunting with the tribe's people, and in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and now you have to be like a man, hunting for the tribe's people, and getting food. Mo Long looked at Mo Fan walking beside him, his height was up to his shoulders, and he sighed in a vicissitudes of tone.

"However, to hunt in the dangerous mountain forest, you need to pick two weapons. Then, with a change of voice, he said.

"Abba, which two?" Mo Fan asked suspiciously.

"Spears and bows. Mo Long said with a smile. "I've been ready for you a long time ago. ”

Hearing Abba Moron's words, Mo Fan immediately understood his intentions.

Spear and bow, one for melee combat and the other for ranged attacks. When you are far away from your prey, you can bend your bow and shoot it, and if you encounter an irresistible beast, you can even save your life if you have an arrow from a distance, and if your prey is close, use a spear to confront it and kill it. This is the use of spears and bows and arrows, one far and one near, it can be said that each has its own advantages, and no one can replace the other.

The children of the tribe tempered their bodies from an early age, and learned various weapons and practiced archery, and Mo Fan was very familiar with bows and spears, and could use them immediately.

After a while, Mo Fan followed Mo Long back to his stone house.

Mo Long was the first to walk into the stone house, took out a dark iron spear and a bow and arrow from it, he handed the iron spear to Mo Fan, and said, "You give it a try." ”

Mo Fan stretched out his hand to take the iron spear, and suddenly a sense of power came from his hand, estimating that it would weigh hundreds of catties, he took a few steps back, waved the spear in his hand a few times, and his delicate face showed a look of joy, and said, "Good spear." ”

"This iron spear was exchanged between me and You Shang two years ago, it is made of refined iron, and it is also mixed with some different iron, which is slightly heavier than the spear made entirely of refined iron, and at the same time, the different iron also makes this spear extremely tough, it will not be broken by heavy blows, it is just right for you to use now, and after you break through the forging realm in the future, you can continue to use it for a period of time. As for your cultivation to the Dirty Refining Realm, I'm afraid it won't be suitable. Mo Long explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Mo Fan's face showed a look of emotion, and he thought to himself: "It turns out that Abba has already silently prepared everything for himself, and even after I broke through the realm, I have thought about it. ”

"The bowstring of this bow is made of long tendons in the body of a juvenile horned python, you can try it again. Then, Mo Long handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan stuck the iron spear in his hand on the ground, reached out to take the bow and arrow, and pulled the bowstring hard, and the bow and arrow were suddenly pulled into a full moon.

"Yes, it's all suitable. Seeing the appearance of the bow and arrow, Mo Long nodded with satisfaction, and he said to Mo Fan with a smile: "Afan, from today onwards, this spear and bow and arrow belong to you, these five days, you don't leave the tribe to go outside to pick medicinal herbs, get familiar with this spear and bow and arrow." ”

"Got it, Abba. Mo Fan replied with a smile.

With that, he picked up his spear and bow and arrows, and with a look of joy on his face, he walked towards the tribe's clearing, ready to go there to practice.
