As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, for the rural people living in the mountains, they can better understand the truth of this sentence. It's just that for most mountain people, they often yearn to get away from the mountains and go to the more prosperous and noisy big cities.

People in the mountains will want to leave, more because of poverty and backwardness. Even if they are neighbors to the mountains, how many people can really find wealth from the mountains? Whether it's hunting or collecting medicine, that's not a job that anyone can do.

In the past few years of seclusion in the mountains, Xu Zhengdao has only been in contact with outsiders a handful. The hunters and herb pickers outside the nearby mountains rarely come to the Yunwu Mountain. Even if they knew that there were more prey and medicinal herbs in the mountains.

The problem is that because of the perennial presence of hunters and herb pickers in the mountains, the number of large game and rare medicinal materials has decreased sharply. On the other hand, on the side of Cloud Mountain, it is true that there are many beasts, but the probability of encountering fierce beasts is still very high.

For most hunters, if they really encounter a fierce beast such as a wolf, a bear, a tiger and a leopard in the deep mountains, and the two sides face off, the experienced hunter does not dare to boast that he will be able to escape with his whole body. If there is an accident, it may be buried deep in the mountains.

Black mud ditch, a ravine not far from Yunwu Mountain, is named because of the many mud pools in the ditch. People who have been here occasionally know that the snakes and insects in the black mud ditch are entrenched and there are many insects and ants, which is not a good place, and it is best to stay away.

But it was such a place that others didn't want to come, Xu Zhengdao, who had breakfast in the early morning, went straight to the black mud ditch. Find a place where the wind is shining, and then stay where you are and wait.

So what exactly is he waiting for?

In the eyes of ordinary people, the black mud ditch needs to be kept away, but it is the favorite place for wild boars in the nearby mountains. For wild boars, they wander around the jungle every day to forage for food, but they also like to take a 'mud bath' bath on the side of the black mud ditch.

Thinking that he would enter the city in two days, Xu Zhengdao would rather hunt a few wild boars to sell than sell the collected medicinal materials. Even in the eyes of many people in the city, wild boar seems to be not as delicious as domestic pork, but wild boar is also pork!

Although he smoked a lot of bacon, Xu Zhengdao liked to sell fresh wild boar every time he entered the city. Those smoked and air-dried bacon, he was really reluctant to sell. In winter, bacon steamed rice is also an indispensable delicacy in his recipe!

When the scorching sun swept across the sky, Xu Zhengdao heard wild boars coming out of the forest from time to time, rushing into the quagmire of different sizes, and began to soak comfortably in the quagmire and even take a bubble mud bath, but he didn't find the 'killer' lurking in the shadows.

While the wild boar was enjoying the joy of the mud bath, Xu Zhengdao, who was hiding in the shadows, also began to search for the target. The herd of wild boars that are too far away from him is naturally not within the scope of hunting, because his hunting tools are only suitable for close combat.

For many hunters who are good at hunting, they know the truth of 'one pig, two bears and three tigers'. The reason for this statement is more due to the risk of hunting wild boars, which is sometimes greater than hunting tigers and bears.

But for Xu Zhengdao at this moment, looking at the herd of wild boars less than 100 meters away, he quickly set his eyes on the two most fierce wild boars. Since you want to hunt pigs for money, you must hunt heavy enough weights.

Although the meat quality of a wild boar with a body size of more than 100 catties may be better than that of a body size of two or three hundred catties, the larger the body of the wild boar, the more meat yield is undoubtedly more. The important thing is that the people in the city buy meat, who cares if the meat is cut from a big pig or a small pig?

Confirming the hunting target, Xu Zhengdao, who got up from the cat's waist, turned over his hand and took out a steel sharp short spear, held it in his hand and quietly approached the wild boar herd not far away. When the wild boar in the quagmire felt threatened, Xu Zhengdao had already stepped forward and accelerated.

Facing Xu Zhengdao, who suddenly appeared, the wild boar group in the quagmire instantly fried the pot. Just as the wild boar led by him was about to accelerate to escape from the quagmire, Xu Zhengdao, who suddenly stopped, pulled his body into a bow, and then threw the short spear in his hand with all his might.

The short spear, which was about one meter long, instantly flew towards the wild boar that was speeding away from the quagmire like a giant crossbow arrow. When the sharp spear tip fell, the fat boar, which was originally known for its defensive power, was instantly pierced through the body by the short spear.

A scream of "whoa" sounded, and the wild boar, which was running with a sturdy body, quickly rolled in the mud a few times with blood. It's just that Xu Zhengdao didn't care about its life or death at all, but quickly threw a second short spear.

Another fat boar in the midst of a hasty escape, even though it ran faster than the other wild boars, still could not escape the sharp short spear for its life. After letting out the same scream, he quickly fell into the mud like the wild boar before.

The other wild boars who were bathing in the mud were naturally frightened when they heard the miserable howls of the two wild boars, and they got up from the mud and ran quickly towards the jungle next to them. Xu Zhengdao ignored their escape.

Walk towards the two wild boars that have not yet died, but are dying. Even before the two wild boars died, they still showed enough ferocity. But their fierceness is just a dying struggle in Xu Zhengdao's eyes.

When the wild boar that was first killed by the spear had stopped breathing, Xu Zhengdao immediately reached out and pulled out the short spear that pierced the boar's body. Looking at the short spear stained with pig blood, Xu Zhengdao was slightly satisfied and said: "Kung fu is not practiced in vain, this spear throwing technique is getting more and more accurate!" ”

Compared with the hunters in the surrounding mountains, most of them are good at using hunting dogs with shotguns, and Xu Zhengdao, who lives in seclusion in the mountains, prefers to use cold weapons. And its best hunting tools, except for short spears, are bows and arrows.

Instead of hunting pheasants, hares and other small game, he preferred to use a bow and arrow. Hunting wild boars with rough skin and thick meat and strong defense, the lethality of bows and arrows is extremely limited. On the contrary, it is a sharp steel short spear, which is easier for the wild boar to break through the defense and cause it to be hit hard in an instant.

In order to prevent the mud from pouring into the boar's body from the wound, Xu Zhengdao, who had drawn out the short spear, waved his hand and said softly: "Close!" ”

At the same time as the words fell, the wild boar, which weighed more than 300 catties and had already died, quickly disappeared from the quagmire. Under the same method, Xu Zhengdao quickly put another hunted wild boar into his storage ring.

Speaking of this storage ring, it's really not given by the sign-in system. This ring is actually a token of the predecessor's teacher. To Xu Zhengdao's surprise, the teacher didn't know that this master's token turned out to be a storage ring.

To be precise, although the teacher who adopted Xu Zhengdao was a Taoist with superb medical skills, he was not a real practitioner. Perhaps because of this, he never found out that the inherited Shimen token turned out to be a legendary space ring in the Daomen.

It is a pity that Xu Zhengdao, who successfully embarked on the path of cultivation with the help of the sign-in system, found that there was nothing in the ring after recognizing the main storage ring through the spiritual power he had cultivated.

The explanation given by the system is that this storage ring has not recognized the Lord for many years, and the spirit will be lost. Naturally, everything that was stored in it in the early years is gone. Fortunately, the space pattern still exists, otherwise this storage ring will completely lose its storage function.

It is with the existence of this storage ring that Xu Zhengdao can purchase the daily necessities needed for half a year every time he enters the city. If he didn't have a storage ring and relied on people carrying it on his back, how many things could he buy at one time?

In addition, even if you hunt prey in the mountains, it is difficult not to attract attention every time you carry a large wild boar into the city and swagger through the market. It can be said that with this storage ring, it really saved him a lot of trouble!

Looking at the empty black mud ditch where the pigs were scattered, Xu Zhengdao, who successfully hunted two wild boars, was already satisfied and said: "With these two wild boars, there should be no problem in purchasing the living materials needed for the New Year!" ”

Although more wild boars can be hunted for money, Xu Zhengdao's experience in his previous life has made Xu Zhengdao know what it means to maintain ecological balance. Even though he knew that this would sound ridiculous in this day and age, he still hoped that the ecology of Cloud Mountain would not be too damaged.

Even one day, he will finally walk out of the mountains. But deep down, Cloud Mountain is his first home in this time and space!
