Chapter 229: Into the Mountain
The mountain village is located in the Yunling area, so the vegetation coverage here is very high, and the vegetation species of each height are different.
The mountain village is located in a small hill in the Yunling Mountains, where most of the broad-leaved trees grow, and from the village, you can climb more than 500 meters to see cedar trees, and some coniferous pine trees also grow.
Five hundred meters further up, it's all pine trees.
Squeak... Squeak ......
Leaves accumulate on the mountain floor, and then they are fluffy and soft.
Because there are so many leaves piled up here, you have to be careful to see if there is a cave under the leaves every step you take, so you have to carry a man-high wooden stick with you when you enter the mountain.
First, use a wooden stick and pestle to test the ground to see if there is a cave hidden under the thick leaves.
However, the hunting team is generally explored by the people in front and followed by the people behind, and the people are changed every half hour.
A group of people carrying swords and bows and arrows on their backs entered the mountain, and the movement was not small, and the beasts of such a mountain were hiding.
But the forest was not quiet at all, after all, there were many birds in the forest, and the birds hanging upside down on the branches mocking their group were chirping non-stop.
But no one is upset, after all, every time you enter the mountain, it is such a scene.
The main thing for them now is to go to a hill fifty miles away, where there is a camp they used to build, and they haven't been to that hill for half a year, so this time they are just a little surprise for those little things.
The hunting range of the village is about the mountainous area within a radius of a hundred miles, and they don't dare to enter other places that are too far away, after all, who knows what demons and monsters are inside.
There are already several hills around the village that have been marked by hunting parties and used as hunting grounds.
For the hunting team, as long as they don't encounter particularly powerful monsters, basically those little monsters are also their rations, but it's just a matter of a few knives.
In addition, youkai are generally huge in size, and they are the favorite prey of hunting teams.
It's just that most of the beasts caught by the hunting team have been ordinary beasts recently, and there are no monsters for them to catch.
And this time I went to the camp fifty miles away, just to take advantage of this winter to see if I could catch a monster and make up for the villagers, after all, this season is the best day to replenish my body.
And the camp on that hill used to be a place where youkai were often caught.
The group spent the first hour singing the self-made mountain songs of the mountain village.
Wherever the mountain song passes, the birds and beasts are frightened, which can be described as awesome and coaxing.
The captain of the hunting team was a forty-year-old hunter, but he only looked like he was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and his name was Lin Dahu.
The people of this village don't look very old, and their internal organs and limbs are much younger than their real age, which is due to the fact that the village is located in a place of spiritual essence in the mountains, and another reason is that they often eat the meat of youkai.
And such a good body did not look tired on this mountain road, and a group of people walked ten miles, just a few breaths, a few sips of water, and then continued walking.
Gu Ren's physique is even better than them, and with such a little road, he is naturally in good spirits.
They walked for two hours on a fifty-mile mountain road, which seemed to be very slow, but in such a mountain forest, they also had to be careful of the caves under the rotten leaves, and they also had to be vigilant for any fierce beasts and monsters around, and the vigilance could drag them down for a long time.
They set off around nine in the morning, so they arrived at another hill around two in the afternoon.
On the top of that hill sat three small wooden houses.
The wooden houses looked a little old, and cobwebs were already sprinkled all over the house.
Lin Dahu, the captain of the hunting team, shouted: "Roar!"
Such a roar like a fierce tiger echoed in the mountains, and I don't know how many beasts and birds in the mountains and forests were frightened and jumped with their heads in their hands.
And there are many small beasts in the wooden house, foxes, wild cats, squirrels and other small beasts swarming out and escaping.
Gu Ren casually shot an arrow and fixed a fox's tail on a tree.
The others also did not fall behind Gu Ren, and they shot arrows one after another.
After one round, the crowd hit nine small beasts.
Gu Ren walked up to the fox and pulled out the arrow that held the fox's tail in place.
The fox was covered in fiery red fur and looked like a ball of fire.
"Fire fox, this fox is not very tasty. The hunting captain walked up to Gu Ren and looked at the fox that had been struggling in Gu Ren's hands and said.
"Not very tasty?" Gu Ren was a little puzzled.
It was the first time he had seen such a fox, and the foxes he had seen before did not have such a fire-like fur, and those foxes were either pure white, or variegated, and pure black.
"There are not a few taels of meat, and the fishy smell is too strong, it tastes disgusting, and the fur on the body is a little useful, and you can go down the mountain to exchange some salt." The hunting captain explained.
"So, then let it go?" Gu Ren said to let it go.
"Pluck off its skin, take it down the mountain another day to change the salt, and seduce some big guys with its flesh at night. The hunting captain took the fox from Gu Ren's hand.
It's really a good use.
That's how hunters should be using local materials.
The hunting captain's knife skills were very good, two fingers choked the fox's throat, and the fox had been strangled by him at this time, and then a knife went down, and then three or five knives, and the fox's fur was cut off intact.
Gu Ren reached out and grabbed the air as he cut his fur.
Gu Ren grabbed the soul of this fox in his hand, this fox was already a monster, but it couldn't even compare to refining and refining qi.
However, if this spirit is allowed to escape, it may immediately turn into a demon, and then it will definitely come to trouble them.
So Gu Ren didn't stop doing it, so he threw its soul directly to the underworld, well, he didn't beat it to the ground.
As for why Gu Ren killed it for no reason, the reason was not only because it was a demon, but also because it was going to report the existence of these people to a big monster in the mountain.
It's a pity that Gu Ren started quickly, and it has no chance.
"Tsk, this piece of skin is really good, I changed the salt when I turned around, you kid is the fragrant glutton in the village." Lin Dahu patted the fox fur and smiled.
This fox skin is considered to have been hunted by Gu Ren alone, so this fox skin is owned by Gu Ren, and it is a customary rule in this village.
Regarding Lin Dahu's joke, Gu Ren smiled and said, "Captain, don't come to my house to borrow salt, such a little salt is not enough for you to have a few heavy tastes." ”
"Hahaha...... Let's go and get the house repaired and repaired, or it's going to get dark. Lin Dahu smiled and patted Gu Ren's shoulder, and then began to order the house to be tidied up.
Night is slowly falling.
