Chapter 1: The Strange Light Gate
"Ahem, you" A young man with a muddy face, a wolfskin animal robe, bare feet, and a hairband on his forehead stubbornly held his head high, even though he was exhausted by this time, and there were many freshly added bruises all over his body, he still raised his proud head unruly, and cast what he thought was the most ferocious gaze on the few people in front of him.
Judging by his appearance, the boy in front of him was only eleven or twelve years old, and his name was Lin Chen, and he was a child from a small tribe not far from here. And the teenagers of the same age who stood proudly in front of him were also born in this small tribe, and one of the teenagers who was significantly taller than the other children was named Lin Yuanqing, who was the leader of this group of friends.
"Hmph, there's a lot of waste!" Lin Yuanqing looked down at Lin Chen, who was trampled on the ground with one of his own feet, his eyes were full of disdain.
Lin Chen and he were both twelve years old, and Lin Yuanqing was a few months older than Lin Chen. Lin Chen's father Lin Deyou was a hunter of the previous generation, and later due to an accidental injury when he went out hunting, his fractured right arm made him no longer able to send arrow feathers into the chest of the beast as accurately as before, and gradually lost his status as a hunter and became an ordinary hunter, and the new hunter was Lin Yuanqing's father - Lin Hai!
Hunter is a title, one that only the best hunters in the entire tribe can have. Not only are the hunters much better than other ordinary hunters in terms of hunting skills and strength, but the hunters are also the main force of the entire tribe when encountering danger and organizing large-scale hunts. In this era of great wilderness where monsters are rampant and wild beasts are rampant, abundant food and strong defensive fortresses are the hope of a tribe to survive. It's perfectly fair to say that the patriarch is the head of the tribe, and the hunter is the guardian of the tribe!
Lin Hai and Lin Deyou were born almost on the same day, in no particular order, and the two were equally outstanding in the tribe, with the same handsome appearance and the same superb hunting skills. However, for Lin Hai, Lin Deyou seems to be his natural enemy, and Lin Hai is at a disadvantage in countless struggles between the two. Whether it is competing for the title of hunter, or the prey they catch on weekdays, or even when they like the same girl at the same time, the last girl chooses Lin Deyou, and this girl is Lin Chen's mother - Lin Yanmei.
Maybe it's fate, maybe it's the grievances of the previous generation that have affected this generation, and Lin Chen and Lin Yuanqing have been compared by everyone since they were young. One is the son of the most outstanding hunter of the previous generation, and the other is the son of the modern master hunter, whose son is better, and who will inherit the title of hunter that represents honor? These are often things that others talk about after dinner! And Lin Chen and Lin Yuanqing are also secretly competing with each other, but now it is obvious that Lin Yuanqing has the absolute upper hand.
"Lin Chen, you're a waste, do you know?!Your dad is a waste, you're a waste, your whole family is a waste!" Lin Yuanqing spilled his saliva without any scruples, and kicked Lin Chen lying on the ground a few times from time to time. In his eyes, Lin Chen is a clown who jumps off the beam, and he is not qualified to be compared with himself.
"Lin Chen, why do you say you are like this! Everyone is a tribe, and Yuan Qing is not an outsider. You just bow your head and admit that Yuan Qing is the most powerful hunter among us, why do you have to hold on!" One of the short and fat young men in the group squatted down and persuaded him.
His name is Lin Si, and his relationship with Lin Chen is not bad on weekdays, and he is relatively tactful, in his words, "the hero can live the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and he can also live the humiliation of the crotch!". Although the words are nice, it is actually just a real wall grass.
"Phew, villain!" Lin Chen glared at Lin Si viciously, this time it was this guy who tricked himself here, saying that he had found a kind of fruit, and he didn't know if he could eat it, so he asked him to come and identify it. Don't look at Lin Chen's young age, but he has learned a lot of things from his father since he was a child, many of which are common sense necessary for hunters to walk in the jungle!
Who knew that this was not the case at all after Lin Chen arrived here, Lin Yuanqing and a few others had already been ambushed here, just waiting for Lin Chen to send him to the door. As a result, he was now beaten by Lin Yuanqing and several people, and he was trampled under his feet and couldn't move.
"Hey, I said Lin Chen, you are the stone in the pit, smelly and hard! Yuan Qing officially hunted with other hunters in the clan last month, and even hunted and killed a blue wolf, even my father was full of praise for Yuan Qing! said that in the future, Yuan Qing will definitely become the best hunter in our tribe, and even have a place in several tribes in Fangyuan!" Lin Si originally felt that he was a little unreasonable to trick Lin Chen here, but now it seems that Lin Chen is so ignorant of current affairs, it is good to teach him a lesson.
"That's it, Yuan Qing is now able to hunt with the adults, and we are far from him. But even so, it's much better than you're a piece of waste. What do you know other than a few herbs!I'm afraid you'll be scared to pee your pants if you put a dead wolf in front of you now!hahaha."
"Hahaha"
Lin Yuanqing enjoyed this feeling of the stars holding the moon very much, he was a man who was determined to become a hunter, and even surpassed his father, he wanted to make all the people of several small tribes in the vicinity have a kind of worship when they heard the name Lin Yuanqing!
"How about Lin Chen, as long as you nod your head and admit that I, Lin Yuanqing, am stronger than you, better than your waste father, I will spare you today!" Lin Yuanqing looked at Lin Chen lying on the ground condescendingly, no matter how he struggled, he could never get rid of Lin Yuanqing's control.
"Don't say my father, my father is not a waste" In fact, what Lin Chen can't tolerate the most is for others to say that his father is a waste. In his heart, his father is the best hunter in the tribe, even if he can no longer torture and kill all kinds of beasts like he did at the beginning, but Lin Chen has regarded him as the most powerful hunter, no one can replace him, and no one can insult him!
"Hmph, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. You have already scrapped your right arm, and it's useless for you to keep this left arm, it's better to scrap this arm too, it looks more or less symmetrical!" Lin Yuanqing bent down, grabbed Lin Chen's hair with one hand, and still stepped on Lin Chen's back with his right foot. Staring at Lin Chen with a hideous expression, he wanted to see begging and fear in Lin Chen's eyes. It's a pity that he was disappointed, Lin Chen's eyes only had disdain, as long as he was contemptuous.
"Lin Yuanqing, is that all you have to offer?" Lin Chen still raised his head stubbornly, without the slightest fear.
"Ahh
Lin Si and the other teenagers who came with him didn't seem to be ready to stop Lin Yuanqing, anyway, even if the patriarch was investigated in the end, they wouldn't be able to be held accountable, and the big deal was to be scolded by their respective parents. As for Lin Yuanqing, it will be even more fine, his father is a hunter in the tribe.
"Stop, what are you doing!" Suddenly, a somewhat crisp girl's voice came, and along the direction of the voice, you could see that at some point a leopard skin jacket was tightly wrapped around the body, the twin peaks on the chest were already small in scale, and there was a bright short knife hanging from the waist, a pair of smart eyes flickered, and the lovely and beautiful face was not bad, even if he was still young now, but it could already be seen that he would definitely be a beauty billet who would bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.
"Sister Dai'er, why are you here!" Lin Yuanqing turned his head and saw the person coming, his face was instantly full of smiles, and the right foot that stepped on Lin Chen's body was retracted at some point.
"Sister Dai'er, you are not good in the tribe, why did you come here! It's very dangerous outside, if you get hurt, we can do it" The other teenagers also hurriedly curryed favor, first, the temptation of the beautiful woman was too great, and second, they wanted to cover up the scene just now.
"Hmph, I was originally looking for Brother Lin Chen, but then I heard that you were brought here, who knew that you actually bullied people, see if I go back and don't tell my father!" The girl's name is Lin Dai'er, and she is the only daughter of the clan patriarch Lin Mo Wolf. In addition, it is said that he was selected by a large tribe to become a hunter early, so his status in the tribe is not ordinary.
"Sister Dale, what are you talking about? How could we bully Lin Chen, he himself had to compare with me, and the result was not my opponent!
"Yes, yes!"
"That's right, that's it!"
"Hmph" Lin Dai'er snorted coldly, obviously not believing it at all. Lin Dai'er pushed Lin Yuanqing away, walked straight to Lin Chen's side, and helped Lin Chen, who was covered in mud
"Brother Lin Chen, are you okay?" asked Lin Dai'er with concern.
It seems that for as long as I can remember, there has always been someone by my side to protect me. No matter how much he messed around since he was a child, he would never get angry. Every time he has something delicious, he will give it to himself, and if there is something fun, he will play when he is tired of playing. Every time he was punished by his father for causing an accident, he took all the responsibility down. At first, I felt that it didn't matter and should be taken for granted, but as I grew older, I gradually got used to this dependence and the feeling of being protected by him.
Lin Yuanqing on the side didn't stop anything, but his eyes looked at Lin Chen a little colder. Lin Daier is not only outstanding, but also amazingly talented, and the reason why Lin Yuanqing is so desperate is mostly to be able to capture the heart of a beautiful woman. Lin Yuanqing has long regarded Lin Dai'er as his own forbidden body, how can he allow others to get involved!
"I'm fine, I'm going to fight with them myself!" Lin Chen knew that even if he told the truth, they would be reprimanded by the patriarch at most after they returned. It is better not to say this, lest my father blame himself for disobedience.
"Your brother Lin Chen" Lin Dai'er looked at Lin Chen and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she swallowed back the words that came to her lips, turned her head to the others and said, "Don't you want me to send you yet?!"
"Eh, let's go, let's go!" Lin Si pulled Lin Yuanqing, who seemed to want to say something, and left with a smile, and the others also left with him.
"Hmph" Lin Yuanqing, who had just walked a few steps, turned his head to look at Lin Chen and Lin Dai'er behind him, snorted coldly, turned his head and disappeared into the woods.
"Brother Lin Chen, are you okay!" After Lin Dai'er and the others left, they immediately looked at Lin Chen with concern, and kept asking Lin Chen if he was injured, whether the injury was serious.
"Sister Dai'er, I'm fine! You go back first, I want to go alone!" Lin Chen gently pushed Lin Dai'er away, nodded at Lin Dai'er apologetically, and then limped towards the depths of the woods without looking back.
In fact, Lin Chen still likes this beautiful girl who is good to herself. But he knew that he was not worthy of her at all, not to mention that he couldn't even draw a bow and shoot arrows normally now, even if he could become the best hunter, he and she were not people of the same world. Rather than this, it is better to break off this undesirable mind early!
"Brother Lin Chen" Lin Dai'er looked at Lin Chen's back, tears flashed in her eyes, she knew Lin Chen's physiognomy in her heart, but the more she wanted him to be happy, because only if he was happy, she would be happy. However, Lin Dai'er still respected Lin Chen's meaning very much, and did not catch up after him after all, but turned around and returned to the clan.
Lin Chen walked in the large camphor forest, and the flying leaves blew with the unique coolness of autumn. Lin Chen walked aimlessly, and as he walked, he suddenly tripped over something and fell on the ground covered with thick fallen leaves. Lin Chen didn't get up, but just lay on the ground and looked at the sky, his thoughts fluttering through the gaps in the leaves.
"Am I really a piece of waste? Why can't my damn body fight for some breath! I can't even pull a one-stone crossbow, damn it!"
"What if I could know all the herbs, what if I could tell if the fruit was poisonous and what was not! I'm still a waste after all!"
Lin Chen raised his right hand, which was somewhat shrunken, with a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes. Lin Chen's right hand came out of the mother's womb and was like that, much thinner than a normal arm, and much smaller than a normal peer. Even a one-stone crossbow that a seven- or eight-year-old child could pull out, he couldn't pull it. This also means that Lin Chen can't use a bow and crossbow, and people who can't use a bow and crossbow aren't even hunters.
Just as Lin Chen sighed in annoyance and helplessness on his right arm, a young man's voice suddenly came out, "Lin Chen, I can restore your arm to normal!"
"Who, who, who's there!" Lin Chen turned over and stood up, turning around to look for the person who had just spoken. Although Lin Chen's arm is disabled, it doesn't mean that he can't do it in other aspects, on the contrary, it is precisely because of Lin Chen's disability in his right arm that he has put in more effort than others in other places where he can exercise, and the result is that Lin Chen's reaction and speed are much faster than others.
"No need to look for it, I'm right in front of you!" A half-meter-long and wide light gate appeared in front of Lin Chen without warning, and the voice just now came from here.
Lin Chen looked at the light gate in front of him and was a little at a loss, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time!
