Chapter 8 Walking Alone in the Moonlight Chapter 142 Dark clouds cover the sky
For children born in Gengyun Village, if they want to grow up quickly and become a member of the hunters, eating meat and drinking wine every day is their dream. As you grow older, you will find that joining the Hunters often means taking on the fate of the entire village.
On the last day of each month, when the younger generation outweighs the older generation and becomes a hunter, the young man's parents and relatives are only briefly happy for a while, and then they begin to worry for a long time.
Being a hunter is dangerous, and at any moment you can die under the claws or mouth of a beast.
However, if Gengyun Village wants to continue, someone must die.
This is true for a hundred years, and this is true for a thousand years.
In the boundless rift valley, villages such as Gengyun Village may have as many stars as there are in the sky, and the fate of most villages is similar. If one or two talented juniors can appear in a hundred years and thousands of years, and they are favored by a certain big man, the fate of the village may change.
Otherwise, you can slowly get through.
At this time, the thousands of people gathered in the martial arts training ground were the strongest people in the entire Gengyun Village except for the hunter team. The two hunter teams need to be supplemented by newcomers, and the others form a village protection team to protect the whole village.
Before Zhou Ran arrived, the village chief and the hunter had already explained the matter clearly.
"Now, the one who hears the name comes forward!"
The village chief's voice rang out again, and thousands of people fell silent.
Some were eager to hear their names from the village chief's mouth, and some had fearful looks in their eyes, but none flinched.
"Geng White Tiger!"
A sturdy young man immediately stood up when he heard his name, his face was full of excitement, and he didn't forget to turn around and raise his head proudly at a few of his companions in the past.
"Geng Qinglong!"
A tall and thin young man clasped his hands on his chest, with a bit of laziness and disdain on his face, and walked out unhurriedly.
"Cloud White Frost!"
The name was Yun Baishuang, a girl dressed in black and gold, and her face was a little cold.
"Yunyan!"
It was a short, thin boy with a rather pale complexion and acting like a monkey.
Among the teenagers and girls in Gengyun Village, these four are definitely the most outstanding.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the wild wolves this time, the entire Gengyun Village might follow in the footsteps of Xinmo Village, and the village chief would definitely not be willing to stuff these four children who were only fourteen or fifteen years old into the hunter team. If according to the previous plan, these four people were going to enter the Cloud Ink City Academy to study, and maybe they could be admitted to the Dragon Peak Domain in the future. But now that it is the moment of life and death in Gengyun Village, it is still unknown whether it can survive, and those previous plans can only be put on hold temporarily.
As for the reason why these four people were not hidden, on the one hand, these four people had not only cultivated the True Yuan, but also all had the strength of the Nayuan Realm. The wild wolf is extremely sensitive to the true element, and it is difficult for the four of them to hide without being discovered. Another reason is that if Gengyun Village is destroyed in the end and these four people survive, the general forces are willing to take them in but will not put a lot of effort into cultivating them.
Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children can remember things, and where they are like four or five-year-old little ones, they can be used with confidence when they are trained.
After these four people, the village chief continued to call dozens of people by name.
After handing over these people to the three hunters, the village chief immediately took the rest of the people to the village armory.
The two hunter teams that suffered losses divided the dozens of people, and the four Geng Baihu were taken away by the third hunter team.
"Count me in!"
After the reorganization of the three hunter teams, Zhou Ran suddenly interjected and said to the three hunters.
"You?"
The head hunter who was going to leave Geng Baihu was named Geng Sanjin, and he was also the one who picked Zhou Ran back that day, he swept Zhou Ran's eyes, but he didn't refuse, and said: "You follow my team!"
The other two hunters had no objection and left first with their respective hunter teams.
Zhou Ran did not hide his strength with the power of divine thoughts, so not only the three hunters, but also other innate realms could see that he was stuck on the threshold of the first innate realm, plus he could not feel any star power from Zhou Ran's body, very much like those who failed to attack the innate realm. And not long ago, it happened to be the opening day of the Heaven Interception Tower once every ten years, and many people were impacting the innate realm at this time. Although the power of the stars triggered by the opening of the Heaven Interception Tower this time was extremely strong, and the success rate of impacting the Innate Realm was greatly increased, there were always one or two unlucky eggs in each village who failed to succeed.
In the eyes of the three hunters and others, Zhou Ran is one of these unlucky eggs.
It's just that people in their thirties and fifties fail, and it is Zhou Ran who fails to make them feel sorry.
Compared with the people of Gengyun Village, who had a strong physique and a rough face, Zhou Ran's face was extremely tender, and he looked younger than Geng Baihu. Of course, hunters don't tell a person's age by their looks, but by their bones and teeth. Therefore, they know Zhou Ran's true age. But at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he can cultivate to the Guiyuan Realm, and in the eyes of everyone in Gengyun Village, he is definitely a genius.
If Zhou Ran was a person from Gengyun Village, the village chief and the three hunters would find a way to suppress him from impacting the Innate Realm at this time no matter what. Although the power of the stars attracted by the Heaven Interception Tower is extremely strong, if you want to successfully impact the Innate Realm, your own foundation is even more important. Without a deep enough foundation, even if there is more power of the stars in front of you, you can only be in a hurry.
Geng Sanjin and the others felt sorry for Zhou Ran, and they also thought that Zhou Ran was like this because he didn't have elders by his side.
It is not uncommon for teenagers in the Great Rift Valley to wander because their villages have been destroyed, and the Great Rift Valley is so large that some teenagers may have gone in the wrong direction in the first place, and they will not see a human figure for the rest of their lives.
Obviously, they also think that Zhou Ran is very likely to be one of these homeless teenagers.
However, even if he fails, in the end, he is a person who has once impacted the Innate Realm, and his strength is not as good as the Innate Realm, and he is still stronger than the ordinary Guiyuan Realm, and joining the Hunter Team is not a delay.
Geng Sanjin asked the unlucky guy in his eyes who failed to impact the innate realm: "Can you bow and arrow?"
Zhou Ran looked at the longbow supported by horns and deer tendons in front of him and shook his head. It's not that he won't, but he's afraid that he won't be able to control this kind of bow and break it.
"Will there be a trap?"
Zhou Ran shook his head, he had learned it when he was in Dingjun Mountain, but since he achieved his divine thoughts, it was not easy for him to catch prey, the weaker ones directly used the power of divine thoughts to detain him, and the slightly stronger ones directly attacked with the power of divine thoughts.
Geng Sanjin's brows were already furrowed, and he asked again: "Do you know how to smell the wind and distinguish the qi?"
Zhou Ran continued to shake his head, this kind of superficial method of identifying the location of the beast by smell and wind direction, he used to do it too, but now that the divine idea has been completed, why use this method?
Geng Sanjin sighed and asked, "What do you say you will do?"
Zhou Ran thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit of medical skills." ”
"Healing?"
Geng Sanjin's eyes lit up immediately.
There are many hunters who can draw bows and shoot arrows, set traps, and discern the wind and smell, but there are not many who can recognize medicinal herbs and know medical skills. It is much more difficult to cultivate a person who understands medicine than to cultivate an innate realm, and it often takes more than ten years to produce a usable medicine doctor.
Now it is possible to encounter wild wolves at any time, and the casualties must be very large, and only a few medicine doctors in the village will definitely not be able to keep busy. One more person who understands medicine is even more useful than one more innate realm. Geng Sanjin didn't even expect Zhou Ran to know much about medical skills, and he could barely distinguish common medicinal materials, and it was enough to help boil the medicine without making mistakes.
"It's good to know how to heal!"
Geng Sanjin's eyes changed a little when he saw Zhou Ran, but he immediately asked with a cold face, "You didn't lie to me?"
Without waiting for Zhou Ran to speak, Geng Sanjin called a pharmacist to come over, and he asked the pharmacist to take out some common medicinal materials and ask Zhou Ran if he recognized it.
These herbs are either recorded in the "Chronicles of Mountains and Seas", or mentioned in the "Heavenly Doctor Xuandao", and there are also several herbs seen in Dingjun Mountain, but Zhou Ran did not say the names of these medicinal materials, but directly said the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials. It's not that he wants to show off, but he is really not sure if the names in "Mountains and Seas and Everything" and "Heavenly Doctor Xuandao" are the same as the names here.
"Good!"
Geng Sanjin patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and said to the four Geng Baihu: "The four of you are following the little medicine doctor, and you can do whatever he asks you to do, have you heard it?!"
Geng Baihu wanted to kill the wolf, and when he heard Geng Sanjin say this, he was immediately unhappy, and said: "Third uncle, I ......"
"What are you?!"
Geng Sanjin glared at Geng Baihu and asked, "Is it itchy skin?"
Geng Baihu immediately changed his words and said, "I want to say that I will definitely follow the little medicine doctor honestly!"
Geng Sanjin nodded with satisfaction and went to discuss matters with the other spirit hunters.
Geng Qinglong sneered: "Spineless!"
"Can backbone energy be eaten as food?"
Geng Baihu didn't care at all, and looked at Zhou Ran with a smile: "Little pharmacist, my third uncle said that I will do whatever you ask me to do, and when the time comes, you remember to let me kill the wolf!"
Hearing Geng Baihu say this, the other three people's eyes all lit up and they all looked at Zhou Ran.
These four little guys are really not afraid of death, others are trying their best to dodge, but they are trying to rush forward, and they don't seem to care whether they will die or not.
Zhou Ran smiled and said to the four of them, "Please call me Master Pharmacist!"
Geng Baihu threw a big white eye when he landed, and the other three glanced at their mouths and ignored them at all.
Where there are people, there are classes.
Gengyun Village, with a population of nearly 100,000, may not be anything in the Great Rift Valley, but in the Qingchuan Domain, it is a powerful force that can stabilize the Situ family, and these forces are naturally divided into classes.
The four Geng Baihu are either the nephews of the head hunter, or the nephew of the head hunter, or the grandson of the village chief, and they are definitely the generation of the wind and rain among their peers. Not only did they hear about Zhou Ran's congenital failure from the elders' chat, but even the elders used Zhou Ran as a negative teaching material to educate them, asking them to fight steadily and steadily, otherwise they would end up like Zhou Ran.
A negative teaching material that failed to impact the innate realm, the four of them naturally did not take it seriously, and as for the importance of the medicine doctor to the hunter team, the four people who had not really joined the hunter team were not clear at all.
Zhou Ran looked up at the sky, and the warning signs hanging in his heart became more and more obvious.
