1. A mountain boy
The great wilderness is deep, and you can see towering ancient trees that have grown for hundreds of years everywhere, lush and green. In the dense forests of the mountains, brute beasts stalk, constantly letting out a low roar, warning all uninvited guests who intrude into the territory.
Compared to the Great Savage Beasts, humans are weak and difficult to resist.
Humans, however, live in groups, and their strength suddenly increases by hundreds, even thousands.
In this way, we can occupy a place in the barren land and achieve a balance with the other creatures in this heaven and earth.
In the middle of a large mountain, a teenager walked slowly, his eyes scanning around, as if looking for something.
He is ordinary-looking, and although his eyes are not particularly smart, they are very energetic.
"I've been looking for a few days, but I haven't seen anything, and I was looking for something to make up for the village chief......"
Lin Shi said to himself, the village chief, who had always been very good to him, was injured because of hunting, and he heard that some animals in the mountains were full of spiritual energy, so he wanted to come and look for it.
It's a pity that I searched for several days in a row, and searched all the nearby mountains, but I still found nothing.
He was a little tired from walking, and wanted to sit down on a rock to rest for a while, but as soon as he sat down, he immediately got up again. Said to himself: "No, I must bring something back today, I don't have time to rest!"
Lin Shi has lived alone since he was a child, and although he has the help of the people in the village, he mainly has to rely on himself.
Survival is difficult, and the children in the mountains mature early. Although he was only ten years old, he knew a lot of things.
Because of this, he has developed a strong character, and sometimes he will not stop even if he does not achieve his goal.
"Could it be that this is too close to the village, maybe we should go a little farther?"
Thinking so, Lin Shi looked back in the direction of the village, and finally made a decision.
I come here a lot, even if it's a little farther away. He comforted himself and walked slowly towards the depths of the mountain.
didn't go far, there was a sudden noise in the forest, Lin Shi was startled at first, and he was overjoyed when he looked at it.
A small deer!
Hualu was frightened and ran wildly, and Lin Shi immediately chased after him. A man and a deer quickly disappeared into the mountains.
Lin Shi, who grew up in the mountains since he was a child, ran very fast and followed closely behind Hualu. However, after all, because I was too young, I was out of breath after a while, and I was getting slower and slower.
He was only ten years old, and he had no experience in hunting, but he was stubborn and refused to give up.
All he thought was about finding something good to bring back to the village chief, so that he could get as well as possible.
The deer ran wildly, running farther and farther. But just as it was about to disappear from Lin Shi's eyes, a bigger thing suddenly jumped out next to it!
Before the deer could run away, a razor-sharp claw slashed across its abdomen, slicing it open. Hua Lu let out a short wail, her body cracked, and she ran two steps and fell, rushing several steps away before stopping.
Lin Shi looked at it and was dumbfounded, only to see that it was a colorful tiger, standing much taller than others.
The tiger landed, ignoring the dead deer and turning towards Lin Shi.
Where had Lin Shi seen such a scene, and he immediately stayed in place. After seeing the tiger rushing towards him, he turned and ran away.
As soon as he ran a few steps, he felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and Lin Shi hurriedly lowered his head and rolled under a big tree.
Turning his head, he saw that the clothes behind him had torn a large slit, red blood flowed out, and a strong tingling sensation suddenly came.
At this time, he couldn't take care of these things, Lin Shi crawled and rolled up under the towering tree, and ran away desperately.
However, the tiger had already jumped up, mixed with a smell of blood, and pounced on Lin Shi.
Lin Shi was so frightened that he didn't move, and suddenly, he seemed to see a small thing flying out of the old man's body and smashing it into his face. He instinctively closed his eyes, and then he didn't know anything. But at the last moment, he seemed to vaguely see what was flying over.
It was a small, dull gray stone.
Lin Shi opened his eyes and crawled up with a grunt. Pulling the wound on his body, he grinned in pain.
"Yikes!"
Seeing what was in front of him, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, only to see a big tiger lying motionless on the ground.
It was the tiger that pounced before, but at this moment it tilted its head and was dead.
Lin Shi was a little scared, and he boldly stepped forward to check and confirm that the tiger had indeed stopped moving at all.
Seeing the death of two beasts, one big and one small, he suddenly felt a sense of pity at a young age.
"Huh, what's going on?" the pity flashed. Lin Shi glanced at the tiger, then at the big tree next to him that needed a few people to hug him, and said to himself: "Could it be that it jumped too quickly and hit the big tree and died?"
He scratched his head, and had to think so.
Soon, he forgot about it and danced happily. "Great! I can give the village a big gift now!"
Thinking of this, Lin Shi hurriedly put his hands around the tiger's two hind legs and began to drag back to the village.
The tiger was so heavy that he could barely drag it and walk very slowly. It didn't take long for his head to rain down with sweat and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
But he didn't give up, still gritted his teeth and moved in the direction of the village step by step.
"Look, isn't that Lin Shi, what is he doing?" and the two of them immediately cried out as they returned to the village.
"Oh my God! that's a big worm!" someone exclaimed, recognizing what Lin Shi was behind him, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
"It's back...... Lin Shi gritted his teeth and finally insisted on reaching the village, and sat down, his whole body already collapsed.
This big insect attracted the villagers, and they all ran over to see the excitement.
Second Uncle Wang walked over with the village chief, and was shocked when he saw the wound on Lin Shi's body, and found that he was relieved when he found that the skin was only broken and his life was not in danger.
"I'm dying! I dare to run into the mountains alone when I am only a few years old!" The village chief, who was in his fifties, had a half-white beard and bowed his waist. His face was a little pale, and he coughed again when he said this.
Lin Shi had never seen the village chief reprimand him like this, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he almost burst into tears. "I see that the village chief is sick and want to find something for you......"
"Alas, for his sake, forgive him this time. "Second Uncle Wang is burly, he is the most powerful person in the village, and he is the next village chief. He sighed and turned to the tiger next to him.
"Although this big worm is too old and skinny, it is by no means something that you can deal with as a ten-year-old child, how did you kill it?"
"This ......," Lin Shi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "it chased me too fast and crashed into a tree and died." ”
The villagers looked at each other, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts: Is this okay?
But there was no other explanation, so I had to believe it.
Soon everyone stopped caring about how the tiger died, and began to skin and wash it.
"Hey, I can't imagine that this big insect is old and thin, but the skin and flesh are surprisingly hard, and it really can't be cut without a little effort!"
The skinned tiger grinned in amazement. It's not that they haven't hunted tigers before, but it's the first time they've seen something so difficult to "handle" like this one.
"Look at this bone, it's really strange that the bone chopping knife didn't react!"
It took a lot of work to finally deal with this weird tiger that was too old and thin to look good. I boiled it that night.
The village is not large, and there are only about 100 people in the old and young, less than 200. It is difficult to survive in the mountains, and it is not easy to have a big harvest by hunting in ordinary times. Therefore, the prey is generally eaten by the children first.
People in the mountains don't know how to practice, and if they want to increase their body, they can only rely on eating food that contains more aura of heaven and earth. The various brute beasts in the mountains and the precious plants that can occasionally be encountered contain abundant aura, which are the most precious things.
As for the real spirit beasts and elixirs, they generally appear in treacherous places, and ordinary people rarely encounter them several times a year.
When the night falls, after the tiger meat is cooked, it is distributed to more than 30 households in the whole village, and the whole village exudes a burst of fragrant fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Lin Shi lived alone in a small house in the village, and after eating a big meal, he went to bed after a short rest.
As the night deepened, the villagers had fallen asleep, and the mountains were silent.
At this moment, something strange happened to Lin Shi, and the white points of light in the void entered his body as if they were sucked by something.
Something suddenly appeared on his chest, half the size of a palm, an oval-shaped gray stone. Hidden within him, blending into flesh and blood.
This stone Lin Shi had seen it before fainting, and it flew out of the tiger.
The dark gray stone is plain, but those points of light are attracted and constantly blended into it.
Most of the points of light that appeared in the void went into the stones, and a small part remained in Lin Shi's body, turning into his bones and flesh.
If a monk had been present at this moment and had seen this, he would have screamed in shock. The ability of the body to absorb the aura of heaven and earth unconsciously, is an ability that countless monks have dreamed of. And this can only be done by cultivating to a certain level, and I have never heard of a ten-year-old baby who has never stepped into the path of cultivation can do it.
And this qiē was carried out while Lin Shi was asleep, and he didn't know it.
This process continued all night and did not stop until Lin Shi woke up the next day
