Chapter 59: Hunting in the Mountains

Afterwards, Xu Ping analyzed it for a long time and believed that the root cause of the explosion was the blood of the demon beast.

Because Chinese medicinal materials and some other materials have always been normal in the refining process, it is only after adding the blood of the demon beast that they begin to change, expanding, boiling, and exploding.

What type of monster blood is this? The power of blood is so terrifying.

According to the instructions on the secret recipe of diamond oil, three drops of demon beast blood must be added in order to refine and eat the perfect diamond oil.

Now he just added a drop of demon beast blood, and he couldn't complete the refining, if he added three drops of demon beast blood according to the requirements of the secret recipe, the power of this explosion can be imagined, and in the end, he didn't blow up the entire cellar?

The iron pot that was used to refine the adamantium liquid was no longer usable, and the violent explosion just now shook the big iron pot directly out, and the bottom of the iron pot was blown into a big hole.

If you want to boil the diamond oil again, you must find a tool that is stronger and stronger than a large iron pot, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the force of such a violent explosion.

Such tools can only be bought in the county seat, and higher quality iron pots cannot be refined at Xu Dahai's level.

Just as Xu Ping was thinking about the iron pot, the old village chief came to his house again and discussed with him about the winter.

Originally, Xujia Village was not rich, and the harvested grain was only enough to eat, and sometimes even had to cut back on food and clothing.

Although thirty or forty people were lost at once, the old village chief absorbed dozens of people at the same time, so the people in Xujia Village did not decrease, but increased by more than a dozen people.

Even though the number of people who have been added and the number of people who have been lost are about the same, and the amount of food is almost equal, most of the labor force in the village has gone out and has not returned for several months, so that the land in Xujia Village is barren, and many families have no harvest.

If it was in previous years, the old village chief would definitely organize people to go to the county seat to buy grain, but this year is different, all parts of the country are in a state of famine, and there is no surplus food in Qinan County, because most of the grain in Qinan County was requisitioned by King Xuan and sent to the army that was fighting near Baishui City.

"Without food, at least one-third of the population in Xujia Village will starve to death this year, and there will be even fewer people in the village."

"At present, the people in the village think of you as strong, so I want you to lead people to hunt in the mountains, hoping to get more meat to survive this hungry and cold winter."

Faced with the pleading of the old village chief, Xu Ping thought for a while, and finally agreed, although he was not very familiar with the people in the village, but in the bitter winter, some people starved or froze to death in front of him, which made him always a little unbearable.

"Village Chief, hunting is not the only way, I think it is better to organize the whole village to save themselves, for example, when winter comes, try to collect everything that can be eaten in the field, even grass seeds. You can also arrange for people to go fishing in the river, make smoked fish and dried fish from the fish they catch, and maybe save a person's life in winter. ”

After hearing this, the old village chief nodded: "I'll arrange this matter, you can take some people to the mountains to hunt tomorrow!" ”

Usually, the people of Xujia Village do not dare to go to the deep mountains and old forests to hunt, but now there is no good way, rather than starving to death in winter, it is better to go to the mountains to fight.

If he encounters beasts and fierce beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, Xu Ping is not afraid, what he is most afraid of is encountering some ferocious demon beasts, even if Xu Ping is already a first-class master at this time, he is only an insignificant weak person in front of this kind of demon beasts.

The turtle monster beast encountered last year is an exception, the strength is very weak, and it will only fire an ordinary water archery, it is estimated that it will not be long after becoming a demon beast, or this turtle monster is not good at attacking, and has no experience in fighting with people.

Of course, there are many such monsters in the mountains, such as the rabbit demon, the rat demon and the chicken demon, if Du Ping encounters it, even if he can't beat it, he can escape in the end.

Early the next morning, Xu Ping selected more than 20 people from the village, brought enough dry food, prepared bows, arrows and ropes, and then the group marched towards the mountain.

For the first time, the people of Xujia Village were quite lucky, and they encountered a group of wild boars on the mountain, about a dozen or so.

Xu Ping shot ten on the spot, and handed over the others to other villagers to deal with, but he was soon disappointed, a little overestimating the strength of these villagers, more than twenty people only left two wild boars, and the other wild boars were all let go by them.

"Go back and practice my archery skills well, shoot two hundred arrows a day, and don't think about getting meat after anyone can't finish it!"

Xu Ping hated these villagers a little bit that iron could not become steel, and he decided that he must strictly practice the archery skills of these people in the future.

At the same time, he began to collect some Chinese medicinal materials in a planned way, and prepared to boil a large pot of qi and blood tonic soup after returning home, so that the villagers of Xujia Village could complete the introduction of Tiger Boxing.

There is only one wild ginseng left, and it can be boiled, but he searched on the road for a long time, but he didn't encounter it, it seems that wild ginseng is such a valuable thing that can not be picked by anyone, so he can only pay out of his own pocket to find Liu Orion to buy one or two sticks back.

The second time, the villagers of Xujia Village encountered a large group of wild wolves, and they had no choice but to abandon the prey in their hands, and under the cover of Xu Ping, they finally escaped the attack of the wild wolves.

In the end, some rabbits and pheasants were caught at the bottom of the mountain, which allowed the villagers of Xujia Village to save some face a little.

In fact, if Xu Ping made a move, he would still be able to leave this group of wild wolves behind, but after he made a move, he would definitely not be able to take care of all the villagers, and there would definitely be deaths and injuries.

Before going up the mountain, Xu Ping remembered the words of the old village chief, although the game is good, human life is the most important, and the safety of all the villagers must be guaranteed and they must be brought back safely from the mountain.

For the third time, Xu Ping and his entourage actually encountered a tiger and a bear fighting, which made Xu Ping experience the feeling of snipe and clam fighting and fishermen profiting, and getting thousands of catties of meat for nothing.

……

When the heavy snow came, Xu Ping organized a total of more than a dozen hunting trips to the mountains and harvested about 20,000 catties of meat.

There were thrills and many accidents, but fortunately, no one died, only a few people were injured.

Thankfully, there has never been a single encounter with a demon beast.

At the same time, the old village chief arranged for people to collect vegetables, fungi and some nuts, and after drying, each family received dozens of catties.

There are also fish and shrimp caught in the river......

……

"Someone was fishing near the rocky beach at the bottom of the mountain, and found a black fish about two meters long, Daqiang was accidentally pumped by the black fish in the water, and he was knocked unconscious at that time, but fortunately someone saw him and rescued him from the water."

"Rocky beach?" composed

Xu Ping was a little puzzled, why did someone go fishing in the rocky beach? The water is deep and rocky, and it is not a great place to fish.

Perhaps the fish in the nearby river had almost been caught, so some villagers began to disrupt the idea of the rocky beach.

"Then I'll go see it tomorrow, and if there's such a big black fish, I'll catch it."

Big fish of more than two meters are rare in this area, and if you catch them, you can get at least a few hundred catties of fish.
