Deep in a mountain full of trees, there is a quiet village, and at the entrance of the quiet village, a tall ancient tree grows.

The name of this village is Songtan Village, the village is named after the high mountain behind the village, the high mountain is called Songtan Mountain, as for what Songtan Mountain is named after, no one can say it accurately, but listen to the old people in the village, maybe, the word "pine" in Songtan is because the mountain on Songtan Mountain is full of pine trees, and "Tan" is the pool of turquoise lake on the back of the village.

Although the villagers of Songtan Village have all kinds of livestock in captivity, they live in the depths of the mountains, often face the attacks of wild beasts, coupled with the need for food, the people in the village need to follow the adults into the mountains to hunt, except for an old man, without exception.

The old man liked to sit under the old tree at the entrance of the village and see everyone with a smiling face. Although he is from this village, no one knows where he lives, only that he is the only person in this village who has ever walked out of the mountains and seen the world beyond the mountains.

In the evening, the children of the village like to sit under the tree and listen to the old man talk about the outside world, and everything the old man tells makes the children extremely fascinated, the children love to listen, and the old man loves to talk. Groups of children in the village grew up listening to the stories of the old man day by day, the children grew into adults, but the old man was always so old, the sunset was over, those villagers who grew up listening to the old man's story, looking at the children around the old man, they always smiled, as if they saw themselves when they were young.

The old man told the children stories of the outside world, and to the children, it was a life that they would never be able to experience.

From the mouths of the elderly, some of the children in Songtan Village are full of yearning for the outside world, and some are determined to live in Songtan Village all their lives, but in any case, their understanding of the outside world even surpasses that of most ordinary people living outside the village.

"How long can we hide under this sky......" Whenever in the dead of night, the children scattered around the old man, the old man always sighed, looked up at the sky above his head intentionally or unintentionally, and spit out this sentence helplessly.

No one has counted how many martial arts sects there are in the world, but when it comes to the largest sect, in the past hundred years, the world has always respected the Seven Peerless Mountains.

Every four years, each sect sends a number of young disciples to compete with each other in order to exchange and learn. This tradition has continued for nearly a hundred years, and for a hundred years, the Seven Peerless Mountains have not tasted defeat.

This has a lot to do with the large number of disciples of the Seven Peerless Mountains, because of the honor of the sects involved, every time the Seven Peerless Mountains participate in the martial arts conference in which all the sects in the world participate, the sect has to have a competition first.

Peng Yujin, and Yao Qingyun, the current head of the Seven Peerless Mountains, worshiped under the Seven Peerless Sect at the same time, and it took only three years after entering the door to represent the Seven Peerless Mountains in the martial arts conference as the first disciple in the door. In the eyes of most people, Peng Yujin is definitely the best candidate for the next head, but at that year's martial arts conference, Peng Yujin did not win the championship, to be precise, it was that year's martial arts conference, Peng Yujin did not participate, and after the martial arts meeting, he disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

On the contrary, after that martial arts conference, Yao Qingyun began to shine, it is rumored that Yao Qingyun once knocked down nine hundred and eighty-one opponents at the same time in the outpost battle within the Seven Peerless Mountain Sects of the next martial arts competition - the battle of seven uniques, the number of eighty-one is exactly the total number of all the contestants except Yao Qingyun, and when knocking down eighty-one contestants, Yao Qingyun's white shirt was not stained with a drop of dust.

............

......

"Yu Jin!" Somewhere in the Seven Peerless Mountains, Yao Qingyun, who was dressed in a white shirt, stood under a pine tree, his eyes staring at Peng Yujin who was lying on the pine tree for a nap.

A few years ago, he called me senior brother, but now he dares to call me by my name. Although Peng Yujin half-squinted, he still added a few points to the pronunciation of the word junior and brother.

Since Yao Qingyun entered the Seven Peerless Mountains, he has been making steady progress all the way, and has become the head of the Seven Peerless Mountains without a trace of setbacks, but it is a pity that there are rumors in the Seven Peerless Mountains - the Seven Peerless Mountains have always been respected by martial arts, and the position of the head must be a strong person, although the head is Yao Qingyun, but if the Seven Peerless Mountains have been judged by strength alone in recent years, Yao Qingyun has always ranked behind Peng Yujin.

People in the world are always curious about the unknown and have an almost fanatical worship, although Yao Qingyun has made countless achievements, not only in the Seven Peerless Mountains, but also in the entire world martial arts have a high evaluation of him, but in terms of strength alone, he has never won Peng Yujin.

For Yao Qingyun, who has always been self-defeating, this kind of evaluation is absolutely unacceptable to him, he has always wanted a chance, a chance to prove himself.

"Qingyun, how long do you think we can hide under this sky?" Peng Yujin lazily opened his eyes, looked at the gap created by the intertwining of pine needles, looked at the blue sky above his head, and said this sentence unconsciously.

In the middle of summer, Songtan Village does not feel the heat at all, but at this time of summer, the stream between the valleys at the edge of the village is always one of the favorites of the children living here.

A girl about eleven or twelve years old was half-crouching on the grass by the stream, beating her clothes on the stones with a stick in her hand, while watching three children of eight or nine years old play in the stream.

The two boys splashed each other with the stream, and the younger of them was obviously more agile than the other, running in the water while splashing the water, laughing from time to time, dodging the stream that the other boy threw at him, while the other boy kept standing in place, although he was also smiling, but no matter who looked at it, he was far less lively than the younger child.

The girl in the stream stood in the stream and looked at the two boys, giggling.

"Sora. The girl sitting by the stream waved to the boy who had been splashed with water.

"Hmm. The boy who was splashed with water heard the call of the girl on the shore, and walked slowly and step by step towards the stream.

"Aren't you usually more noisy than Xinyu, why are you so honest today?" The girl by the stream saw that Xiaokong was completely different from the usual active and lively him, as if she had something on her mind.

The boy who was called Xiaokong looked at the boy and girl in the stream, and then looked at his own feet, and the girl by the stream followed Xiaokong's gaze, only to find that Xiaokong's right foot was cut by something, and the grass he was standing on was gradually dyed red.

"Why didn't you say it earlier if your foot hurts?" the girl pulled Xiaokong to sit on the grass by the stream, helped him wash the soil on his right foot with the stream water, and then bandaged Xiaokong's right foot with the silk scarf she carried.

"It doesn't hurt. Xiaokong looked at the boy and girl in the stream, laughed slightly, and spit out two words thoughtfully.

"Fool. The girl touched Xiaokong's head and shouted to the two children who were still playing in the stream, "Xinyu and Xiaofan, are ready to go home." ”

The boy in the stream waved vigorously to the shore, signaling that he understood.

The girl also waved to the shore and shouted to the girl somewhere, "Got it, Sister Qiao, we'll come over right away." ”

The girl by the stream was called Ling Qiao, she took Xiaokong's little hand, dragged him up from the grass, and helped him pat the dirt and dust off his body, and then Ling Qiao paused slowly, signaling Xiaokong to put his hands on her shoulders, and she was ready to carry him home.

But Xiaokong was not as obedient as Cheng Qiao imagined, pouted, and said a little angrily, sister, if you carry me home, Xinyu and Pufan will know that I am injured, I don't want them to know.

Are you afraid that Pu Fan will be worried? Or are you afraid that Xin Yu will hurt your foot if you play in the stream? Ling Qiao teased the air jokingly.

Ling Kong didn't speak, Ling Qiao just smiled, and Ling Kong's silence seemed to acquiesce to the two questions raised by his sister. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Pufan, run!" Xin Yu's exclamation broke the silence of the Ling Kong sisters and brothers. Following the voice, Pu Fan was sitting in the middle of the stream, and a black bear was slowly moving towards her.

Black bears are not uncommon in the vicinity of Songtan Village, almost every house in the village has a few black bear skins hanging on the wall, Ling Qiao and their family is no exception, she and Ling Kong's bed on the wall, there is a good black bear skin hanging on the wall. But today, it is rare for a black bear to approach the village like this, and the four people playing by the stream are obviously unprepared for this sudden uninvited guest.

"Pu Fan, run!" volleys suddenly pushed Ling Qiao away, and rushed towards Xin Yu and Pu Fan in the stream with all his might.

At the same time as Volleying towards the stream, Xinyu in the stream grabbed stones and threw them at the black bear, hoping to attract the black bear's attention and create a chance for Pu Fan to escape.

Xinyu's method worked, and after being attacked by the first stone, the black bear abandoned its original target, Pufan, and then rushed towards Xinyu at a speed that did not match its size at all.

Volley and Xin Yu thought exactly the same thing, he also wanted to attract the black bear's attention to himself, but Xin Yu used stones, and Volley used his fists. The black bear pounced on the new feather and volleyed at the black bear.

The speed of the black bear is very fast, but the speed of the volley is even faster, the black bear has not touched the new feather, the whole person has already flipped to the back of the black bear, and then, several punches in a row, fell on the back of the black bear.

The villagers of Songtan Village out of survival needs, regardless of men and women, have to receive a certain amount of hunting knowledge and physical training since childhood, although the volley is only eight years old, but the strength of the hand is enough to make the black bear feel pain, the sharp pain from the back of the head makes it become a little crazy, only to see the black bear raise its right paw high, and then take advantage of the trend to the new feather fan.

With this grasp, the new feather flew out of the stream like a kite with a broken string, lying motionless on the bank...... But the black bear's offensive did not stop, he stretched his right paw to his back, grabbed the volley's right foot, and with a little force, he threw the volley hard into the stream, and the volley spurted out a large mouthful of blood, the blood and the stream were intertwined, the black bear pushed away the blood, jumped up, and pounced on the volley.

The volley in the stream rolled to the side with difficulty, but he couldn't completely dodge the black bear's blow, seeing that the black bear's bear paws were about to hit the volley's chest, Ling Qiao suddenly flashed between the black bear and the volley, and used all his strength to push the volley out of the black bear's bear paws. Ling Qiao, but was hit on the back by the black bear's paw, and her body, with the brute strength of the black bear, flew to the stream, splashing a bunch of water.

The volley was very uncomfortable at this time, the huge difference in size and strength made the volley suffer huge pain in his body after being fallen, coupled with the previous foot injury, at this time, all the volley could do was to run away or wait for death, and there was almost no strength to fight with the black bear.

No matter how you choose, you will never choose the latter, but the black bear did not give the volley a chance to escape, and when the volley was still thinking about how to escape, the black bear had already grabbed the volley and held it in his arms, and his arms kept squeezing the volley's body, and the volley was extremely painful at this time.

"Maybe it's easier to die like this?" Ling Kong thought so, but looking at Xin Yu who was fainting on the shore, Pu Fan, who was still trembling, Ling Kong gritted his teeth again, trying in vain to fight with the black bear.

"Damn, if I knew that there was today, I should have learned more from Uncle Zhang how to fight with black bears. Volley gritted his teeth and used all his strength to freeze the black bear in the stream.

"Quick, quick, where are they. Ling Kong didn't know how long he had been holding on, and suddenly heard Ling Qiao's anxious urging.

I saw Ling Qiao running towards the stream with difficulty, and while running, she struggled to urge a few villagers who followed her, holding hoes, bamboo arrows, bamboo poles and other tools.

Although the villagers had already run towards the stream with all their might, how could they run faster than the black bear that was already in the stream, only to see the black bear loosen its arms, and its seemingly clumsy head shook from side to side, aiming at the volley's left shoulder and biting it......

"Ah.........h

Seeing the scene in front of them, Ling Qiao, Xin Yu, and Pu Fan were all stunned......

Volley's left arm was bitten alive by the black bear and thrown into the stream......
