The tall dark green trees - pine, birch, oak, cover the entire Dongxing Mountain, from north to south like a black-green, black-green wall, until the Death Ridge by the Chenhe River, in the east of this wall lies the endless Dark Moon Forest, it is said that in the forest, no one can see the moon, even in the clear and cloudless moon, and this is also the origin of the name of the Dark Moon Forest.

Heiyunling is located in the north of Dongxing Mountain, here are mostly evergreen pine trees in all seasons, clusters of branches and leaves, look like a cluster of clouds in general, its south is connected with Rabbit Mountain, the east is Moyun Peak, there is a valley in the northwest of Heiyunling - Xifeng Valley, the Xifeng Mountain is divided into two mountains in the north and south, and the valley leads directly to the west of Yujian Mansion - Xifeng Town. Wild Wolf Valley is sandwiched between Black Cloud Ridge and Rabbit Mountain, winding to the southwest.

The sun has tilted to the west, and at this time there are four young men about twenty years old walking through the jungle, all the way to the west, this is already the easternmost part of the Black Cloud Ridge, and more than ten miles to the east is Moyun Peak, the dark Moyun Peak is like a giant beast lying there and not letting anyone approach. The strong man who walked in the front, nine feet tall, slender eyebrows, small eyes, a sneering expression that could not wake up, carried a steel fork in his left hand, carried a roe deer on his right shoulder, and hung three hares on his waist, the blood of the prey dripped down from time to time, and he didn't care if it dripped on his body, two long legs shook his big steps quickly, and saw where there was a penny of not waking up, and the other three followed side by side, one in the middle was very heroic, eight feet long, with sharp foreheads and cheeks, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white face and red lips, a black longbow on his back, a quiver on his right shoulder, and a hare and a sable in his left hand, a four-foot long knife pinned to his waist, the man on his left was eight and a half feet tall, with a round face and a square mouth, and his eyes were also round, and the whites of his eyes were wrapped in black pupils, as if he was staring at something fresh, carrying a steel fork, and a yellow-haired fox and two hares hung on it and swinged. The one walking on the far right, looking at the youngest, only sixteen or seventeen years old, less than seven feet tall, bent over, hunched legs, hurrying steps, carrying a small flower deer on his back, a black and white pheasant hanging on both sides of his waist, and a firewood knife pinned to his waist was sharpened brightly. The round-faced man smiled sideways and said to the man next to him: "God, what do you think it will look like on the eastern side of Moyun Mountain?" The man in the middle replied with a smile: "I haven't been there again, how do I know?!"

The round-faced man teasingly asked his companion on the far right: "Shuanghu, do you want to know, next time you come out to hunt, I will take you to Moyun Mountain, do you dare?!" The young man named Shuanghu glanced at him and said honestly: "Brother Erniu, I don't dare, I heard the old people in the village say that there are monsters living in Shandong, and they all drink human blood and eat human flesh. Fortunately, he just laughed when he heard it, probably thinking that Shuanghu was very funny, but Erniu pouted and scolded with a smile: "What a coward." Erniu smiled and approached Tianxing: "Tianxing, let's go and see, what do you think?" Tianxing couldn't help but smile and said to him: "Cheng, Erniu, but I have one condition." Erniu hurriedly asked: "What conditions, you say." ”

Tianxing pointed ahead and said, "If you can convince Brother Dashan to go, I'll go." ”

When Erniu heard this, he said in a sneering voice: "You might as well not say it, I have told him several times, but he doesn't agree." Tianxing and Shuanghu both smiled and looked at him sulkingly, only Dashan didn't say a word, and hurried forward without looking back, and the three people behind him followed. After walking for a while, Erniu smiled again, and discussed with Tianxing: "Tianxing, I have a way to convince my brother!" After finishing speaking, he sold Guan Zi with a proud face, Tianxing looked at him and didn't ask him, Shuanghu couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Brother Erniu, how can you convince Brother Dashan?!" Erniu looked at him and ignored him, then looked at Tianxing, waited for a while, saw that Tianxing really didn't ask, he couldn't help it, and said: "My method is also simple, even if you go, my brother will definitely go ------"

Before the words were finished, the mountain in front of him turned back sharply, raised his foot and kicked over, the second cow did not watch out, a stumbling almost came to the sky with four feet to the sky, the prey and the hunting fork fell to the ground, the mountain scolded and scolded: "Rabbit cub, you are tired of being crooked, don't be lucky, you go by yourself, no one will stop you if you want to die!!" Thinking about it again, he provoked the eldest brother, and he didn't have any good fruit to eat in the future, so he hurriedly opened a mouth three inches wide to three inches long, and wanted to accompany the smiling face, but he heard Tianxing shout quickly: "Brother Dashan!!" There was a rare seriousness and nervousness in his voice, and he saw Tianxing step to the place where he was in line with the mountain, and looked at the mountain and said: "There is something in front!" Dashan saw his expression, and his heart was also tight, and then stared at the road ahead of him without a road - a mountain road marked when he came, without saying a word. The noon sun spread on the dense branches and leaves, clumps of shrubs in the line of sight, the clear vision at this moment made the mountain have a cold feeling, he knew too well how accurate the feeling of Tianxing was, not a simple "quasi" word can be described, it can be said that it was simply accurate and terrible - he will never forget what happened to his first hunting with Tianxing - the "gray wolf" who grew up with him since he was a child In order to save himself, he was torn open by a fierce boar with sharp fangs, and the body of the mountain wolf fell heavily on the corner of the mountain as if it was in front of the mountain at this moment, and Uncle Yan also told him that Tianxing had a natural and extraordinary intuition, so the mountain had no doubt that there was a big crisis hidden not far ahead. Dashan frowned, and his small eyes narrowed for a moment before they opened. Erniu looked at the expressions of the two, and couldn't help but clench the steel fork in his hand, Shuanghu asked nervously: "Brother Dashan, is something wrong?!" Dashan smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, Huzi, don't be afraid, there is Brother Dashan to protect you, ha!" Then he looked at the front of him again, and said to the three of them: "We must go to Xiaoshihe before dark, and now find another way back, I don't know how long it will take, if you get lost after dark, it will be more dangerous at that time." Turning his head and asking Tianxing: "How dangerous do you feel this time, how is it better than that time three years ago?" Tianxing looked at the shining eyes of the mountain, groaned, and said, "It's not as good as that time." The mountain chief exhaled and said hatefully: "That's good, let it go, go straight, Erniu, you come to carry the deer, you have to walk at the end to protect the tiger." Erniu replied loudly: "Got it, brother." After speaking, the steel fork was handed over to his left hand, and his right hand snatched the little flower deer on the back of the double tiger, and threw it on his right shoulder briskly and neatly.

"Huzi, take out your knife and hold it in your hand, in case of danger, you stay away, don't move forward, protect yourself. Shuanghu hurriedly drew the firewood knife, but he was too nervous, he drew too fast, the tip of the knife almost hooked his belt, and his face turned red, Tianxing patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't be too nervous, you are already good, you can still blush, I am not as good as you for the first time." Shuanghu looked at him gratefully, unable to say a word.

"Luckily, I'm at the front, and you're ready to shoot my arrows behind me. Tianxing nodded when he heard this.

Next, the four of them slowed down slightly and walked forward, without saying a word.

Passing through a dense forest area composed of camphor pines of different heights, the eyes suddenly opened up, and several long grasses were connected horizontally or vertically on the slope in front of it, turning this slope dozens of feet long into a bright open place. The sun shines on the body, making people warm, walking here, Shuanghu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw that others were as serious as just now, he immediately woke up, tightened the firewood knife in his hand with his right hand, and carefully followed behind Tianxing.

After the grassy slope, the four of them walked into the forest again, the air immediately cooled down, Shuanghu felt that his vision had become much clearer, and his spirit was also lifted, he was not as nervous as he was at the beginning, and felt that even if he walked to Liujia Village like this, it was very possible, Brother Tianxing and Brother Dashan may have been too nervous, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

After walking for more than ten miles, after passing the small hillside, the four of them went up a ridge more than a mile long in the east-west direction, on the east side of the ridge is a natural stone road, the three-foot-wide road is mottled with moss, the stone road is obliquely paved on the east side of the hillside, the four of them are walking on the stone road, "Whoosh, squeak-"

A gray-haired squirrel came out of a small pine tree on the west side of the road, and climbed to a pine tree about ten zhang high next to it in the blink of an eye, Shuanghu was startled, his body stopped, and Erniu was also startled, but it was not very powerful, raised his eyes and saw that the eldest brother and Tianxing in front of his head were not affected, and he was a little annoyed that he was not determined, and saw Shuanghu stopped, and his heart was even more annoyed, so he raised his leg and kicked on his buttocks, and said: "Don't walk, what kind of god are you?!" Shuanghu hurried to keep up with Tianxing, and looked back, explaining: " I'm sorry, Brother Erniu, a squirrel jumped out just now and scared me. ”

"Look at your little talent, you are so timid, how can we take you out hunting in the future. ”

"I don't dare, Brother Erniu, you must not take me out, the three of you in the village can hit the prey every time, but my father wants me to learn from you——"

Tianxing stopped and said to Shuanghu with a smile: "Shuanghu, don't listen to Erniu, he won't take you and I will take you with Brother Dashan." ”

Dashan also walked over, raised his leg to give Erniu a kick, Erniu saw that his brother's frame was wrong, and quickly ran away, Dashan touched Shuanghu's head and said: "Huzi don't be fooled, when your Erniu brother just came out, he was less courageous than you, and he was so scared to pee his pants when he saw a wild boar." Erniu heard this and protested loudly: "Big brother, how can I be as outrageous as you say." Tianxing smiled: "I can testify to this." Erniu thought that he was going to arrange himself with his eldest brother, but he listened to Tianxing and continued: "Erniu did not pee his pants at that time. “

Er Niu was about to be happy when he heard this, but he continued: "However, I was so scared that I couldn't walk, but I really saw it." Hearing this, Shuanghu smiled a little, and couldn't help but look at Erniu, Erniu was so angry, and said loudly: "Fortunately, you stinky boy, I'm not done with you." Said and threw the deer, took a fork and pounced on Tianxing, pounced halfway, but saw that Tianxing was originally a frame to meet him, but suddenly jumped far back, Erniu jumped up again as soon as his feet landed, wanted to hit him off guard, jumped into the air but was kicked in the lower abdomen, immediately lost his strength, came to a five-body dog to gnaw on the stone, this fall is strong, the stomach is hurt not to say, the chin was knocked down, fortunately it is a moss, no skin trauma, Erniu looked up aggrieved and shouted: "Brother!!!"

"Shut up, no eyesight." After Dashan finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and stared at the ridge west of the stone road. Erniu flute, quickly jumped up, picked up the steel fork, listened attentively, a thin breeze crossed, this can be felt, the occasional birds chirping in the forest, this can be heard, the ridge in front of you, seen, but quiet, Shuanghu is also nervously watching, although both hands tightly hold the knife, the eyes are more curious, three points nervous and six points of dazedness.

After a long while, the two tigers heard the heavy wheezing sound of "whirring -----" coming from above, accompanied by rhythmic and trivial sounds.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, a large, fluffy brown head swayed and revealed on the mountain beam.

Dashan cursed in his heart: Death is lucky, this is what you said is not as good as last time??!! eyes stared at the big brown bear that suddenly encountered, and said to others: "Huzi retreat away, Erniu protects him, fortunately, you are ready to release arrows." At this moment, in addition to being nervous, Dashan actually had an excitement that made his whole body tremble, which made him feel a little crazy, but the facts were in front of him, and when the other three people were either retreating or preparing, he did not take a step back, and faintly had the urge to rush forward.

The big brown bear, half of its body was exposed, and after looking at the four people for a moment, it tilted its head forward, and with a slight tremor it let out its greeting to its prey—a long roar that shook the mountains and forests—"Ahh--------------h Four or five small birds were frightened and flew away, and the squirrel just now also jumped between the branches and disappeared without a trace, fortunately until now it was also a little dazed, I don't know what is wrong with my intuition that has always been effective, the three of them are there to work hard, but they saw the mountain shouting at the bear: "Come on, livestock-" The three of them immediately looked at the big mountain brother who fell into madness at this time like a monster. This voice also angered the "beast", and it let out a short roar and rushed towards the mountain. The big brown bear slammed down the hillside, with its long claws, angry eyes, mouth dripping with white saliva, yellow and sharp teeth, and a powerful power exuding from all over its body, all of which showed how vicious and unprovoked this beast was at this moment, but the big mountain guy went to provoke it, and he had to fight with it for real.

When the brown bear rushed to two or three feet away, the mountain jumped to the left, "Hey---------" and then took a quick step, rushed forward, stabbed out of the steel fork, the action was really fast like lightning, Tianxing's eyes lit up, the two bulls saw a flower in front of their eyes, the two tigers didn't see what was going on, the three hunting forks had been deeply pierced into the neck of the big brown bear, "Oh --------" the big brown bear screamed, the front body suddenly took off and shook violently, and the whole body immediately lost control and rolled forward," Bang ------" There was a loud bang, and it hit a big pine tree on the east side of the stone road, and the big brown bear was stopped by the waist, and the pine tree was also knocked off the branches and leaves on the ground.

Although Dashan avoided the frontal impact, the momentum from the fork still made him unable to withstand it immediately, and with the strength of the retreat of his body, he kicked his legs hard, and after landing on the ground with a backward flip in the air, he took seven steps back to stabilize his body.

A feather arrow stuck in the brown bear's right shoulder, and the brown bear struggled to stand up, panting and glaring at everyone.

"Luckily, you have a chance to shoot its front and back legs as much as you can, this animal is too thick, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shoot the vital point. “

"Okay, I got it. “

Erniu escorted Shuanghu to retreat far away, anxious, wanting to help, but afraid of Xiong rushing to Shuanghu.

"Ahh------h A huge force hit head-on, hit the steel fork, the mountain desperately held on, but the arm was standing, but his whole body flew out, flying out of the edge of the stone road, the front end of the steel fork hit a tree, in the air the mountain's body turned half a circle, and hit a big pine tree head-on, fortunately, he reacted quickly, supported his hands, and his head was sideways in time, but the left chest was still hit, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Er Niu looked anxious, and shouted: "Brother!!" didn't care that Huzi was at a loss for what to do there, and rushed to the brown bear with red eyes.

"Erniu, go back ------" Tianxing jumped behind a tree on the hillside, saw Erniu rushing up, and hurriedly shouted, where can Erniu listen, Tianxing quickly pulled out three arrows, shot out in a row, and shot one in the air - rubbing his left face, one shot in the ear, and the last one hit the right eye, "Oh-----------" The bear screamed, the second bull is arriving at this time, taking advantage of the brown bear's scream to expose its chest, a fork poked on its belly, the brown bear opened the only remaining left eye and roared to pounce on the second bull, a figure flew out of the oblique thorn, a fork pierced its left chest, the three strands of steel fork Qi root into the bear's body, the brown bear still struggled, but was finally pushed to the ground by the mountain, blood gurgled out from the left wound, after a while, the big brown bear finally had no sound.

Dashan and Erniu gasped, Tianxing wiped the cold sweat on his face, Shuanghu stood in the distance with a firewood knife, only a small Adam's apple squirmed from time to time, and the four of them stared at the big brown bear, and finally Dashan stepped forward and gave this guy a fork again, seeing that there was no reaction, the four of them were completely relieved.

"Luckily, bring your knife. ”

When Tianxing heard this, he took out his long knife and handed it to Dashan.

Dashan took the knife, walked over to the dead brown bear, and began his new battle - cut the bear's legs, the long knife was very sharp, and after a while, all four legs were removed by the mountain, only to see that he cut open the bear's belly again, and dug out the bear's heart and bear bile. Tianxing and Shuanghu each got the hind legs, Dashan himself asked for a relatively thick right front leg, Erniu took the left front leg, and the bear heart and bear bile were kept for Uncle Yan, so he gave it to Tianxing.

"We have to get there right away," said Oyama. Tianxing nodded when he heard this, although he didn't feel in danger now, but he didn't dare to be careless, as if after the fierce fight just now, Dashan was probably injured. Erniu still can't believe that he actually slaughtered such a big brown bear today - the credit of Dashan and Tianxing was directly ignored by him, he felt that he was not afraid of any beast coming at the moment, looking at the big brown bear lying there without four legs, he said unhappily: "It's hard to beat such a big bear, what a pity to throw it like this, brother, or we can find a way to get this back." “

When Dashan heard this, he glared at him carefully, and said: "How do you want to get it, just the four of us, and we have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, what do you want?!" After finishing speaking, he ignored him, tore off a strip of cloth at the hem of his clothes, tied the bear's leg, and carried it on his left shoulder, holding a fork in his left hand, and throwing the roe deer on his right shoulder with his right hand.

Along the way, the four people did not dare to rest, Rao is four young men who have been in the mountains all the year round, and they have walked dozens of miles of rugged mountain roads with their prey, and they are almost tired and out of strength, Er Niu feels that it is not very difficult to walk when he goes, and when he comes back, it is difficult to walk, and there are several small steep slopes that are especially dangerous to walk, and he is secretly glad that he listened to the words of the eldest brother, although he had to listen.

The sky gradually darkened, and the four of them finally saw the huge pine tree by the Xiaoshi River that was hundreds of thousands of years old, and also heard the sound of the clear water flowing in the small river.
