Chapter 5 Hunting
The first sun rises, from a distant, unknown world tens of millions of miles away. The sun shines all over the land, over the 100,000 mountains, and shines on a small and inconspicuous village. It can be seen that in the village, there is a young man galloping like the wind, rushing to the head of the village.
When Junjun arrived at the head of the village, Hua Zhenghu had already waited for the others to set off. At the back of the team, Hua Xiaoliang looked back from time to time, and muttered: "The village chief said that Junjun boy is also coming, why hasn't he arrived at this time?"
At the back of the line, Junjun gasped heavily, he was tired. You know, the mountain is thirty miles away from the village, and the procession is halfway there. In other words, he ran a distance of fifteen or sixteen miles, which was still quite stressful for the twelve-year-old Junjun.
"Are you better?" Suddenly, Junjun saw a kettle handed over, and Hua Xiaoliang's voice came from his ears.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiaoliang," Jun Jun said with a few sips of water and slurred words.
It took a long time for Jun Jun to recover.
Looking at the team in front of him, Jun Jun found that there were more than 20 people here, most of them were adult strong men in the village, and only a few teenagers, Hua Shou and Hua Li were among them, but they didn't find Jun Jun's arrival.
This can be said to be the best for a small village with a population of no more than 100 people. You must know that usually going up to the mountains to hunt is only a matter of a dozen people, and the most important thing is that Hua Xiaoliang and Hua Zhenghu both participated in this operation, and they are the most powerful adult men in the village.
"By the way, Uncle Xiaoliang, what day is today?" Junjun seemed to remember something, and asked Hua Xiaoliang on the side.
Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and three days later will be the day of our annual holy sacrifice. Hua Xiaoliang looked at Jun Jun with a strange look, and he really wondered if this kid was broken by the old village chief. When I thought of Hua Yunlong's "doing" back then, I shuddered, when he was a child, he and Hua Zhenghu were not beaten less.
"Holy Sacrifice" Jun Jun suddenly.
In this world of cultivation, in this country where Jun Jun is located, there is no New Year's speech, but there is a day of holy sacrifice. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of each year, a sacrificial ritual will be carried out from small villages and clans to large countries and clans. Some are sacrificed to ghosts and gods, some are sacrificed to the ancestors of the clan, and some are sacrificed to the strongest existence between heaven and earth. Without exception, the objects of sacrifice often possess great power. In this way, people seek refuge, and the ghosts, ancestors, and sacred beasts sacrificed seem to have sensed in the underworld, and will rain down on the day of the holy sacrifice to baptize. Legend has it that if the sacrificial items are precious enough, there will even be miracles.
100,000 mountains on the periphery, in the mountains and forests.
Several arrows swept by, and a wild boar was shot, becoming a porcupine, falling to the ground, struggling to die. Several young men cheered and quickly ran over to reap the spoils.
A robe ran by, and a man rode on it, and a knife fell, and blood was spilled.
A hare, carefully hidden in the grass, was suddenly killed by an arrow.
......
Not far away, Hua Zhenghu and Hua Xiaoliang looked around, and years of hunter experience told them that this operation seemed to be too smooth.
Jun Jun stood on a tree, looking at the villagers who had successfully captured the beasts, looking at the beasts that had been hunted, and a hint of the boy's unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by doubt. "Isn't it too peaceful? Now all the beasts that appear are ordinary beasts, although this is very normal on the periphery. However, after hunting a lot of beasts, it was a bit unusual that such a strong smell of blood did not attract the attention of the demon beasts. He frowned, his eyes scanning his surroundings, "Huh?" The battle not far away caught Junjun's attention.
Hanamaru was in a very good mood today, as he was the youngest member of the hunting team, and he felt that it was a recognition of his strength. Last night, when his father, Hua Zhenghu, said that he would take him up the mountain, although he appeared calm, he was actually excited.
Hua Shou looked at the wild bull beast in front of him, and he knew that if he succeeded in hunting, he would definitely get his father's appreciation. Poor Hanamaru, by this time, did not know that Junjun existed, nor did he know about the upcoming tragedy.
This wild bull beast is tall and tall, covered with rough leather armor, the black horns on its head are flashing with a dangerous light, and there are some spiraling veins on it, which looks a little demonic, it shakes the tail of the ox, angrily fights the bull, and stares angrily at the human boy in front of it, as if it is ready to attack at any time.
Hua Shou is also in a tight position, although the Wild Bull Beast is not a demon beast, but it is also a top-level beast, and it can even be compared to some ordinary first-order demon beasts, if he is careless, even if he has two star apertures, he will be injured.
All around, there were also many people watching this battle, and not far away, Hanamori's father was also watching here. It was as if this area had become a stage for Hanamaru and the brute beast.
The brute bullbeast finally couldn't help it, with the roaring footsteps, the double horns on its head rushed towards Hua Shou, its heavy and strong body was like a tank crushing, and each step would leave a deep hoof print on the grass.
Seeing this, Hua Shou was almost frightened by the momentum of the brute bull. Seeing that the brute bull beast was about to rush forward, he took advantage of his small body to avoid it dangerously.
The people next to him also pinched a cold sweat for Hua Shou, but Hua Zhenghu in the distance frowned and watched, without the slightest intention of making a move.
"Hua Shou has talent, and his strength is not bad, but he just lacks some experience. On the side, looking at Hua Zhenghu, who was a little disappointed, Hua Xiaoliang said.
"Hmm" Hearing this, Hua Zhenghu didn't say much.
In the field, the wild bull beast crashed into Hua Shou again and again, and Hua Shou dodged in embarrassment, but did not have the slightest chance to attack. Gradually, he was also a little flustered.
Seeing Hua Shou's embarrassed appearance, everyone's laughter sounded all around.
"Hanamaru, do you want me to help you?" said a young man.
"Yes, yes, if you want it, say it quickly, otherwise it won't be good if you get hurt. Another young man chimed in. All around, the idle villagers were asking if Hua Shou needed help.
Everyone's laughter was not very malicious, and even at the critical moment, everyone stepped forward to help Hua Shou. However, these words were so harsh in Hua Shou's ears.
"Damn" Hua Shou gritted his teeth, knowing that he had the power to kill this wild bull, but he didn't know how to use it, there was nothing more painful in the world than this.
At this time, although his body was about to reach its limit, he did not have the slightest intention of asking for help.
"Calm your mind and pay attention to the movements of the bull. A voice came, it was his father's voice, Hanamaru was sure. He took a deep breath and stared at the bull that was about to rush over, his eyes calming down.
Just a moment before the Brute Bull Beast's movement, Hua Shou rushed towards the Brute Bull Beast first. He leaped and appeared above the head of the bull.
A faint fluorescence appeared, rising from the star aperture of Hua Shou's left and right hands, like two twinkling meteors, and his two hands overlapped, slapping towards the bull's head.
Bang! The brute fell, and Hanamaru fell from the sky, half-kneeling on the ground, panting for air.
"Wow! What was that? How do I see a meteor passing by?"
"Star Trick, that's Star Trick!"
"What, Hua Shou actually practiced star skills, oh my God. ”
All around, everyone recovered from the shock, surprised that Hua Shou had actually entered the stage of stargazing. You know, even the people here have some who haven't even condensed the stars.
Seeing that Hua Shou successfully killed the Wild Bull Beast, Hua Zhenghu also smiled, and looked at Hua Xiaoliang on the side with some pride.
At this time, Jun Jun looked at the depths of the mountain forest with a serious face, and a bad feeling quietly emerged.
"Moo!" Suddenly, a terrible cow roar sounded from the depths of the mountain forest, and suddenly, a strong coercion approached.
