Ignoring the dead brown leopard, Hadu closed his eyes and began to feel the riches he had just plundered: speed and explosiveness. After plundering the Side Bear www.biquge.info Hadu was able to lift an object ten times the weight of his body, and he also felt that this power would only continue to increase as he got older. And now that he had plundered the brown forest leopard, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to run well.

As the other hunters went to clean up the carcass of the Brown Leopard, Hadu returned to the Leader, telling him that the "Spirit" had transferred the Brown Leopard's speed to himself, and asked the leader for advice on trying out the new ability. With the chief's permission, Hadu galloped in the direction of the camp.

At first he hadn't been able to fully adapt to the speed of the plunder: he could only take two steps a step as fast as he normally could, but now that he could accelerate to four steps away, he always felt awkward. However, when he began to try to burst out as fast as he could, the strangeness disappeared immediately: in the clear moonlight, Hadu ran to an extreme speed of six steps per step, alternating his legs very frequently, and he felt the scenery on both sides rushing in and then speeding away. Originally, it took him about a "moonrise" to follow the hunters from the tribe to the foothills of the "Falie" (about 15 minutes from the time the moonlight shines out of the top of the mountain to the time the moon rises to the top of the mountain), but it took him less than half the time to run back to the tribe.

After running to the tribe, Hadu felt a little tired, and he sat down to rest by a rock outside the camp, only to find that he quickly regained his strength. It seemed that the brown forest leopard's physical energy was completely transferred to his body, but it was not clear that he had plundered the wealth Hadu, so he entered the consciousness space to check it.

This time around, the lines give two results:

"You have plundered the Brown Leopard's movement speed and explosiveness, +400 for Kindness and +400 for Malice;

You have robbed the Brown Leopard's stamina recovery after intense exercise, with +200 Kindness and +200 Malice. ”

Like the Border Bear, the Brown Leopard increases the overall value of good and evil by 600, but there are some differences in the amount of wealth it loots.

Hadu waited in the space of consciousness for a while, not waiting for the so-called "settlement", maybe the accumulation of good and evil values has not yet reached the "required level". He was a little discouraged, apparently already seeing the settlement of good and evil as a kind of divine recognition of his efforts.

After exiting the space of consciousness, Hadu ran back to the cave of "Fare" to help the hunters. Outside the cave, the fire inside the cave has begun to take effect, and it is clear that there is an air inlet at the other end of the cave, and thick smoke is constantly blowing out of the cave. Again, like with border bears, hunters dissect brown leopards, remove bones, and take edible offal and meat back to the tribe.

As the hay in the cave burned out, the old hunters used long sticks to remove the still hot ashes, spread fresh blades of grass and sand on the ground, and then took the lead to explore the cave where the brown leopard had been staying. The purpose of the trip was twofold: to see if there was any meat stored in the cave for the brown leopard, which could bring extra food to the tribe, and second, to see if the brown leopard had cubs, and if so, it could be captured and domesticated, and it might become a good fighting force in the future, which had already been domesticated in a tribe in the direction of "where the sun rises" for hunting.

Speaking of which, the reason why Hadu's ability is so easily revered by the tribesmen is not unrelated to the beliefs on the grassland. The tribes of the steppe believed that the gods would fairly distribute their abilities to each tribe, some tribes could tame wild horses, some were good at building camps, some tribes were able to play melodious music, and some directly dug caves in the mountains and moved their people from the fragile villages to the mountains that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only the "Ka-Sin-Ki" tribe has not been able to obtain the "special" ability that Momo can handle, and because of this, Hado's "plundering" ability is considered a "normal" move for the gods to balance the power of the steppe. However, the tribesmen, including Hado himself, have not yet realized how this "wealth plundering" ability will turn their lives upside down.

Hadu followed the hunters into the cave, and the first was a stretch of uphill with the den of the brown leopard at the top. Unfortunately, neither the meat nor the cubs of the brown leopard were seen. Hadu also searched the cave and found nothing of value. Suddenly, he was attracted by a small hole in the back of the cave that made a "whining" sound, and when he walked over to take a look, he found that it was the vent of the cave, and he could hear the faint sound of water flowing when he listened closely. Hadu immediately beckoned the leader to come over, and after the other party came to check, he immediately decided that there was a dark river behind it. The leader pondered for a moment, and decided that this was a natural haven - just wait until the fire season and find a way to open a bigger window here, and then it would be a good place to shelter from the winds during the snow season, with enough space for food and endless underground water to drink.

The leader who had made up his mind began to think about how to do this: an exchange of interests with the tribe that lived in the mountains was the easiest way, but how to impress the other party would require careful consideration.

Soon after, the people returned to the tribe from the "Falie", and not long after reporting the results to the old patriarch, they heard the "hulala" of the forest in the distance shaking violently, and the dark clouds in the sky began to gradually obscure the bright moonlight—a snowstorm was coming towards the grassland.

The women in the camp have already wrapped the inside and outside of the village with thick furs, and they will not feel cold inside the village in the wind and snow. Some of the "Yijun" cut enough wood to put outside each village, and when necessary, they could directly take it into the village to make a fire, and the smoke would be discharged from under the round shed at the top of the village.

Before the snowstorm, the tribesmen gathered around the campfire in the middle of the camp for a group dinner, wishing each other a happy snow season - especially with such a large cache of grain.

Hado did not relax in the middle of the snow season to train the hunters, but he still had to follow the leaders of the hunters to the forest on sunny days to learn how to set traps and hunt gray rabbits and hill rats. At the same time, he had to keep his eyes open for any beasts for him to plunder, but probably because the weather was too cold, the predators were hiding in their nests and refused to come out.

The snow season in the grassland lasts for almost two and a half months, and after this time, Hadu will be 12 years old.

This age is a big hurdle for humans on the grasslands: weaker tribes like the Ka-Sin-Ki are often malnourished when they don't have enough to eat, and early childhood deaths are common during the snow season. It can be said that before Hadu acquired the ability to "plunder wealth", the maximum average age of children in the tribe was 12 years old. This is a common and brutal thing in the grasslands: in order to ensure the survival of most of the tribe, especially the women who nurse their offspring, only the children who cannot survive can compete for the amount and right to eat.

Children who can survive beyond the age of 12 are close to the age of a 14-year-old hunter, and as long as they pass the hunter test, they will be able to get a portion of the food that guarantees their survival, and of course, they will also get the right to hunt their own prey to fill their stomachs.

However, this snow season is very different, the abundant storage of food has allowed the tribe to fill their stomachs, and the few malnourished children have become muscular and energetic after a month of adapting to the big fish and meat. From the perspective of trends, it is predicted that all the children in the tribe will survive to adulthood.

Entertainment in this era was relatively scarce, but in this way, people were relatively simple. Hadu lived a relatively fulfilling life every day: in the morning, he went to the forest to do some cross-country training with the old hunters, then hunted a certain number of wild animals, returned to the village to play hide and seek with children of the same age, then teased his little sister, then went to the chief's stockade to receive "combat training", and finally went home to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, it is time for the snow to melt, the sky is clear, the sun is shining on the earth, but there is no trace of warmth - when the ice and snow melt, it absorbs a lot of heat, but it is actually colder than the snow season. Hadu ushered in his official 12 years old at this wet and freezing time. This year, 8 children have grown up, and these teenagers, who have just turned 14, are still childish, but they are all very curious and active about the life of a hunter that they will face. Hadu, who had already participated in many battles, looked at these soon-to-be-promoted prospective hunters with a calm face: what he participated in was not the position of transporting weapons and forage behind the battle line and cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, but the real and the tough things of the object of the battle, and the two were completely incomparable. As a result, he became more mentally precocious, and became more flexible and comfortable with the application of his predatory abilities.

As soon as the snow melts, the grassland is full of muddy puddles, and in this case it is best to conduct an adult test of hunters. The test consists of three aspects: physical fitness, voice, and reflexes. Would-be hunters who participate in the test will show at least one aspect of their outstanding traits, and then they will be placed into different mission-oriented hunter teams. The method of testing physical fitness is nothing more than carrying heavy objects, trekking long distances to retrieve tokens, and quickly crossing in the forest, etc., the sound test is more fun, the tester needs to distinguish the sounds of different animals at a certain distance, and then issue a corresponding warning sound to scare off the other party, which is most effective when the animals come out to forage during the snowmelt, and the reaction requires the hunter to be able to quickly respond to changes in the surrounding environment, including but not limited to trap avoidance, hiding to prevent being found, and finding other subjects who are hiding.

Hunters with strong physical fitness will serve as the main combat force, hunters with excellent voice analysis and feedback skills will be divided into reconnaissance, patrolling, and enemy defense, which are mostly better able to survive, and finally the more reactive hunters will train with the leader's personal guards for "special missions", mainly roles such as assassins and spies.

This brings us to the hateful relationship between the two tribes, "Ka-Sin-Ki" and "Mo-Ruq-Fa": the old patriarch of the Hado tribe once wanted to ally with the other tribe, but because he didn't know the other party's preferences, he sent multiple spies to pretend to join the other party's group. These spies were dutiful in their mission to spy on the news, but their behavior made the opposing tribe very unhappy - it is said that the god of hunt and the god of war are enemies who hate each other, and the spies sent there are also reluctant to change their beliefs due to the difference in the beliefs of the two tribes. After the identity of these spies was revealed, they set fire to their grain depots, and before fleeing, they destroyed the totem pole erected by the legendary god of war, "Ki-Sjuo'ol". Although the spies' behavior was a "standard" early kill, this move escalated the relationship between the two tribes from the original "religious differences" to "immortality". The "Ka-Sin-Ki" did get the means to defend against threats in advance, such as digging horse pits, building wooden horses to keep them away, and installing sharp blades outside the stockade at their knees, but they were also harassed by the other tribe again and again, and lost most of their strong labor in the past two years, which was somewhat more than worth the loss.

This time, the hunter test took three days to set up the venue, and then a full day to test eight would-be hunters. The lack of food reserves in the camp after the previous loss of manpower has resulted in no one in the previous test of prospective hunters standing out in terms of reflexes - not even meeting the mark. This has led to a lack of outlets for espionage in the tribe, but for now, it is imperative to replenish the frontal combat power as much as possible. Six of the eight would-be hunters were assigned to the hunt, one was assigned to the patrol, and one was eliminated - the poor boy's father and mother had not inherited the voice, which meant that he had eaten much less than the other seven, and malnutrition had greatly restricted his performance.

The eliminated would-be hunter could only do a few chores in the camp - and he couldn't do anything else with his physical fitness. Three years later, at the age of 17, each eliminated would-be hunter will have a more rigorous test, and if he fails this time, he will be recognized as a "scum abandoned by the gods", and his fate can be imagined.

As a new hunter, there is still a long way to go to learn to become a combat master of numbers, but Hado knows that the fastest way to grow is to directly fight the beast to the death, and accumulating experience in practice is undoubtedly the most efficient. Therefore, Hado suggested to the leader that the 7 new hunters who passed the test should join his battle formation, and arrange them at the back of the battle formation, while the existing hunters could be sent to other hunting areas. The leader thought about this suggestion for a long time before agreeing - the battle damage rate around Hadu was of course the smallest, but there were not too many hunters standing within 10 steps of Hado's side, and other hunting areas also needed to send people from time to time to prevent other tribes from poaching, so the leader only considered the quality and potential of the new hunters a little more, and agreed to this matter.

The newcomers were grateful to be able to fight alongside the revered and adored "Chosen Son", and they all puffed up their chests to assure Hado that they would give him a better result than the Hunter test.

When the snow had just begun to melt a few days ago, the chieftain had been escorted by a group of guards to the tribe that had moved the camp to the cave, and asked for their help in digging the cave of "Falie". After hearing the leader's general description of the cave, the other party gave their "professional opinion": after discussion, the "old craftsmen" of the other party in the cave excavation believed that the excavation operation needed to be carried out in three stages, the first stage was to send "professionals" to conduct on-site surveys to understand how many operators need to be dispatched, how much operation time to consume, how difficult the project is, etc., which will use up about 10 "rise and fall" (referring to the next time the sun or moon rises and sets, that is, half a day). The initial assessment of the other party's asking price was "not high": in addition to the safety protection of the "surveyors", the "Ka-Sin-Ki" tribe had to pay five times the number of horned sheep sent by the other party to start work, or hunt five fierce beasts.

There are quite a few people in this tribe who are good at digging caves, and the total population is more than 4 times the total number of Hadu's tribe, so they have to send people over, and there are no 30 people who are embarrassed to speak. For the average slightly weaker tribe, whether it is 150 horned sheep or 5 fierce beasts, it is extremely difficult to hunt targets, but for Hadu, this is simply a simple matter - if the other party wants to tame horses, cattle and sheep or something, it may be a little difficult, after all, Hadu is the only one who knows this domestication knowledge, and it will take a long time to teach others to get started.

The goal of this number of hunts was just enough for the new hunters to get used to the operation of the battle formation as quickly as possible, and after explaining the basic principles of the battle formation and some new gestures developed by Hadu himself to the newcomers, the group began to move towards the forest.

Not long after the battle formation entered the forest, the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily, and the icy rain hit everyone and made them shiver. Hadu was about to call everyone to take shelter under the wide canopy of trees, but the rain came to an abrupt end. There are no signs of dark clouds in the sky either. ！

Hado looked at the unusual weather in confusion, and began to worry a little about the hunt: it was possible that the gods were warning him of the danger of this operation. Thinking of this, Hado asked the group to reopen, but slowed down the pace of progress and began to cautiously observe the changes in the surrounding environment.
