Chapter 10: The Riverside Clan
The early sun brings a gentle temperature and climbs halfway up the mountain little by little. For these hunters who have lived here for generations, a busy day is about to start again. However, the people who should have been busy were surprisingly quiet today, and after finishing their modest breakfast, each family rushed to a clearing outside the tribe with their dolls.
Today's Lin Chen still got up very early, the morning dawn was dewed, standing on the top of the mountain, facing the east, three long and two short, inhaling, so half an hour later, a feeling of comfort walked all over the body.
"Haha, this return to the origin is really magical, I have only practiced for more than ten days, and my hearing and eyesight have far surpassed before. Lin Chen, who had finished his morning exercise, carefully felt the subtle changes in his body, this return to the origin was obtained by Lin Chen on the suspended stone tablet on the first floor of the wooden tower. After Lin Chen entered the wooden tower for the second time, this suspended stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, and after a while, Lin Chen had an extra recipe for returning to the origin in his mind.
This recipe is actually a simple basic method, and some of the simple introductory methods mentioned above are practiced at the beginning of the morning light, so that in the long run, the eyes can be clear, and the ears can be deaf!
For a hunter, farther vision and sharper hearing will enable him to detect danger early and survive better when hunting in the jungle.
"Chen'er, there is no one in the morning, and I don't know what you kid is doing here every day!" Lin Yanmei's voice sounded behind her, her words were reproachful, but her tone was full of concern.
"Mother, didn't I say don't bring me breakfast in the future, if you want to eat, I'll go home and eat it myself, you don't have to climb up every day" Lin Chen turned to look at Lin Yanmei, who was sweating fine on her forehead and carrying a food box in her hand, full of warmth.
"You child, eat breakfast on time. If I don't come, you won't eat it again!" Lin Yanmei looked at Lin Chen in front of her with a smile, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more reluctant she became.
"Mother, let's go, go home. Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the hunter selection battle is about to begin! This time I will definitely be able to become a hunter smoothly" Lin Chen took two steps forward, holding Lin Yanmei's arm with his left hand, taking the food box with his right hand, and walked down the mountain with his right hand.
"You kid"
Lin Chen didn't know why, since he practiced this set of Returning Origin Formula, his appetite began to gradually decrease, especially for those meats, he became more and more unappetizing. In the past, Lin Chen was the master of no meat and no joy, which made the greedy Lin Chen somewhat helpless.
Lin Chen's morning exercise is on a hill not far from the tribe, which is usually covered with a lot of morning glories. But I don't know why since Lin Chen came here for morning exercises, the morning glories here have bloomed more and more brilliantly, and the morning glories all over the mountains have almost covered the entire hill
Ten miles away from Lin Chen's tribe, there was an open flat land, which was overgrown with all kinds of weeds, and a few hares sprang out of the half-meter-high weeds from time to time, attracting a group of children to chase them. Of course, this kind of useless chase will not lead to results in the end, but these children are still enjoying the fun.
"Yo, this isn't the third uncle of the child. His third uncle, your tiger baby is also thirteen this year, are you going to show your hand this time!"
"Oh, Uncle Tiger Baby, don't you know what kind of urine sex our bear child has! He came to participate in the selection, that is, to show his face, show his knowledge, and ask for a daughter-in-law in the future!"
"Who says it's not, this once-in-a-decade hunter selection is a big event for our tribe, and everyone is looking forward to showing their faces in this selection, and they can talk about their mother-in-law in the future!"
"Alas, I heard that the Zhang tribe, the Liu tribe and several other nearby tribes are coming this time, and even the Hebian clan seems to have people coming!" said one of the tall and thin men who seemed to be more well-informed than the others.
"Oh, they'll come too!"
"It's just that the Zhang clan, the Liu clan and a few other tribes are here, and there are also people from the riverside clan?!
"You don't know this, I heard that the riverside tribe came here for" The tall and thin man saw that the people around him were attracted by his words, and he suddenly came to his senses, and he foamed at the mouth and began to speak. It doesn't matter if you hear it yourself or make it up yourself, you can say it all in one go. The people around him didn't care if what he said was true or not, anyway, they listened to it with relish
Behind the Lin clan and other tribesmen, there was a temporary wooden platform that had been built a few days ago. The wooden platform is 10 meters in size, and it is all improvised from nearby cedar trees, which is barely usable.
Lin Hai sat on one of the wooden rattan chairs, and his position was close to the edge of the entire wooden platform, and there were four sandalwood chairs in the center of the wooden platform. On the right side of each wooden chair is a tea table, on which are filled with fresh wild fruits and fragrant teas that have just been picked in the morning, still with dew!
Lin Mowolf, the patriarch of the Lin clan, as the master, did not sit on the main seat, but sat on the second seat on the right hand. Lin Mowolf's only daughter, Lin Daier, also stood behind Lin Mowolf in a military uniform this time, her beautiful face and sassy and heroic posture also frequently attracted the attention of many young people.
The table and chairs in the main seat were empty, but no one felt that there was anything out of place. The other two tables and chairs close to the main seat were occupied by Zhang Tianlong, the patriarch of the Zhang clan, and Liu Yiming, the patriarch of the Liu clan, respectively, and the people from other tribes sat on both sides in a certain order.
"Brother Lin, this time your Lin clan is quite face-saving. It's just a hunter selection, and the Riverside Clan has sent people, your face is big enough!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Mo Wolf. In the future, it is estimated that within a radius of several hundred miles, it will be headed by your Lin family!" Liu Yiming on the side also said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, don't make fun of me. Our three tribes are almost different from each other, and the hunting grounds divided every year are also very different, even if the Riverside clan suddenly comes to my tribe to watch the selection of hunters this year, this doesn't mean anything. "Lin Mowolf is a burly middle-aged man, wearing a tiger skin jacket worn diagonally, revealing half of his strong arms. A bronze mace never leaves his body, and it is rumored that this mace weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. Although no one weighed the specific weight, many people had seen Lin Mowolf smash a hundred-pound bluestone with a mace.
"Brother Lin, don't be modest, ten years ago, your tribe produced a Lin Deyou and successfully entered the second round of the Qishan Competition. Although it stopped here in the end, it is definitely the pride of everyone in our tribe!"
"Yes, Brother Lin, I still remember that scene ten years ago. Your Lin clan produced a Lin Deyou, and later the division of the hunting ground, your Lin clan is ten miles more than our Zhang and Liu families!"
The overall strength of the three tribes of Zhang, Lin, and Liu is almost the same, and Lin Mowolf knows this very well. Zhang and Lin are so much now that they just want to test their bottom line first, and Lin Mowolf is also the head of the clan no matter how he says, he has seen a lot of this situation, and he is also able to deal with it easily.
As for the other people on the wooden platform, they also greeted each other, and those who didn't know each other gathered enthusiastically. This was no longer a simple selection of hunters, it had already evolved into an exchange gathering between all the tribes of all sizes within a radius of several hundred miles.
Half an hour later, with a slowly approaching convoy not far away, the whole crowd suddenly boiled to the top.
"Look, that's the carriage!"
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful carriage!"
"The Hebian clan is different, the big tribe is really not comparable to our small tribes!"
"Although we have seen wild horses a lot on weekdays, most of the wild horses we caught were sold in exchange for some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and they were willing to be used for their own riding, let alone pulling carts."
Lin Mowolf and the others on the wooden platform also saw the convoy not far away early, and a group of people, led by Lin Mowolf, Liu Yiming, and Zhang Tianlong, hurried to the wooden platform twenty meters away to greet them.
"It's really an honor for the Lin clan to be here by the riverside!" Lin Mowolf respectfully bent down his bear waist, because he was too strong, he looked a little funny when he bent over.
"Liu Yiming of the Liu tribe is here to wait for your lord"
"Zhang Tianlong of the Zhang tribe is waiting for your lord here"
"Zhao Tribe"
"Mars Tribe"
"Father, this is the riverside tribe?
"Yes, that's the Riverside. The Hebian clan has always been strong, this time the people who came not only took a carriage, but also brought a group of entourage, looking at these entourages dressed in leather clothes and armor, carrying bows and swords, they should be at least two-star hunters" Lin Deyou looked at the convoy in the distance, with a little complexity and reminiscence in his eyes.
"Two-star hunter?" Lin Chen looked at Lin Deyou suspiciously, this was the first time he had heard that hunters were divided into one star and two stars.
"Yes, hunter is really just a catch-all term. In the riverside tribe, many hunters will be divided into one-star to three-star hunters according to different strength levels, and above the hunters there are hunters and hunters. It is rumored that high-level hunters and hunters can hunt monsters!"
"Hunting demon beasts?" Lin Chen looked at the convoy of the Hebian clan in surprise again, maybe others didn't know about the hunters and the hunters, but Lin Chen clearly knew that these so-called hunters and hunters should be monks.
And the tribe that can have monks can imagine the horror and strength of its strength.
You must know that demon beasts are different from ordinary beasts, and demon beasts often live in the deepest part of the mountain, and rarely appear on weekdays. And once a demon beast appears, a tribe like the Lin clan has no resistance at all, and can only ask for help from a big tribe like the Hebian clan!
"Chen'er, those are still too far away from us. I only heard about it when I participated in the Qishan Championship, and I don't know if it's true. Lin Deyou retracted his gaze, patted Lin Chen's shoulder, and said, "Prepare for the competition with peace of mind, since the people from the Riverside Clan have come, I believe the selection competition will start soon."
"I know my father!" Lin Chen withdrew his gaze from the convoy not far away, took a deep breath, and turned to look at the other people of the same clan around him.
Lin Chen: The place where they are now is more than ten meters away from the wooden platform, and these children between the ages of twelve and fifteen have come here early accompanied by their parents, ready for the next selection with peace of mind
"Patriarch Lin doesn't have to be polite, I only came to greet Miss Dai'er on the orders of my father this time. A man's voice came from the carriage pulled by two white horses in the riverside convoy, and judging from the sound, the people in the carriage should not be very old, just thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Of course this is no problem, your tribe can take a fancy to Dai'er, that is her blessing. It's just that since I happened to meet the selection of hunters from our clan today, I dare to ask the adults to get off the car and watch it, and after the selection is over, it will not be too late to rest for a few days, and then return with Dai'er" Lin Mo Wolf straightened his waist and said through a guard into the carriage.
"That's fine! Since Patriarch Lin has spoken, how can I brush off your good intentions. Then please ask Patriarch Lin to lead the way" The people in the car did not hesitate too much, in fact, maybe he could ignore others, but only this Lin clan patriarch Lin Mo wolf, before coming, his father had told him not to offend too much.
"Yes, please, please"
No one in the carriage was seen from the beginning to the end, not to mention the other tribes who had come to greet him. However, no one really dared to show their dissatisfaction in person, even Liu Yiming and Zhang Tianlong only looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, shook their heads and followed the carriage towards the wooden platform.
