Chapter 1: Deep in the Forest
An hour after tomorrow it will be completely dark, and every inch of the forest in the middle of summer will be baked by the scorching sun as if it is about to melt.
Ding Hao still went to the depths of the forest, legend has it that no hunter has ever been able to reach the end of this forest, legend has it that there are fairies and ghosts lurking in the depths of this forest, even if the hunter is shrewd and strong, he can't really conquer this forest completely.
When Ding Hao was very young, he heard the old man in the village say that if you are disobedient and do bad things, you will be sent to the Black Wind Forest.
The Black Wind Forest is the name of the villagers for this forest, and this forest is bigger than anything else, the animals and plants.
The branches and leaves of the big trees that cover the sky are luxuriant, and the deep forest is even more cloudy and windy all year round, lifeless, and even the sound of insects is much weaker than other places!
Ding Hao no longer believed the words of the old man in the village after he became sensible, nor did he think that there were any gods and ghosts in the depths of the forest.
But he believes that there is indeed some mystery in this forest, and he is sure that he will one day be able to completely conquer it, which is also the dream of every hunter in Shanhe Village.
But this forest did not give any hunter a chance to realize this dream!
It's like a monster crawling here, with its huge mouth open, constantly devouring one after another of the best hunters!
Ding Hao was found by the old hunter Zhang Cheng in the forest, Zhang Cheng came to fight a few deer and was ready to go back to the village, and found Ding Hao who was still a baby on the road, Ding Hao did not cry or make trouble in the simple bamboo basket, and looked at Zhang Cheng with big black eyes.
The bamboo basket is suspected to be made in a hurry, the bamboo tips have not undergone any polishing treatment, Zhang Cheng was afraid that the bamboo tips would pierce the baby, only hesitated for a moment and held the baby in his arms, the baby was wrapped in a big red belly pocket, and a green jade plate was hung on the neck, and the jade plate was engraved with the word Ding Hao.
Zhang Cheng originally thought that Ding Hao's parents were nearby, but he left because of something, so he held Ding Hao and waited for his parents to come to find him, but when it was dark, he didn't even see a figure.
So Zhang Chengcheng took Ding Hao home, and in the next few days, Zhang Cheng was waiting for his parents here with Ding Hao in the morning, but he never found out that his parents came to him, Zhang Chengcheng adopted him, called him Ding Hao by the name on the jade plate, and taught him hunting skills, until Ding Hao was thirteen years old, Zhang Cheng was bitten to death by a tiger in the forest!
The children in the mountains are very precocious, Ding Hao followed Zhang Cheng to hunt in the forest when he was very young, and Ding Hao showed amazing talent in hunting, wit, tenacity, bravery, calmness, and the quality of a hunter He seems to have been born with it. In terms of mastering hunting skills, he also left his peers far behind, and all the hunters in the village believed that Ding Hao must be the best hunter in Shanhe Village when he grows up.
Two years ago, when Ding Hao returned to the village with a tiger on his back, he proved this to everyone, nearly 1.9 meters tall, every muscle in his body was full of explosive power, and no one in the village could compare with him in speed and strength.
Thick eyebrows and big eyes, every corner of the national character face is angular, although he is only eighteen years old, but his whole body is already full of men's masculine beauty!
Ding Hao doesn't remember how many times he came here, this area is already far away from the village, if he doesn't go back to the village now, don't think about returning to the village today, and if he goes further, it will not be the forest he is familiar with at all, it is the place with the most legends in the Black Wind Forest, and it is also the most dangerous and mysterious place.
Many times before, he had stopped exploring here, on the one hand, because he felt that he had not yet become the best hunter in Shanhe Village, and he was not ready. On the other hand, he still has worries in his heart, and he feels that he has not fully repaid the villagers of Shanhe Village for raising him.
But now these two points can no longer be the conditions to restrain him, when the most dangerous tigers are hunted by him, Ding Hao no longer feels that there is anything to threaten him, on the other hand, because of his tireless hunting, the mountain of prey for the villagers in exchange for enough silver taels, the villagers' lives have been greatly improved in recent years, and there is no need to worry about livelihood.
After checking the three arrows on his back and the bow that had been with him for five years, and pulling out the best hunting knife he had just bought, Ding Hao finally stopped being depressed and took the most critical step in his life.
It's been two hours, the sun in the sky has already turned into a bright moon, through the moonlight, Ding Hao's vision is not too affected, the sound of insects is getting weaker and weaker, faint, and the silence is a little strange.
Years of hunting experience made Ding Hao feel that something unusual would happen, and his pace gradually slowed down, and the small and gentle animals along the way gradually became scarce, and the eyes were all some carnivorous animals, wild boars, lone wolves, leopards, these animals that are not easy to see but constantly appeared in the sight, Ding Hao deliberately hid himself, and did not attract the attention of these animals along the way.
The sound of insects has completely stopped, and the silence is a little unbelievable, Ding Hao's steps are getting slower and slower, and the squeak made by stepping on the thick layer of rotten leaves is extremely harsh in the silent forest.
Suddenly, the sound of running sounded in his ears, and the sound gradually approached from small to loud.
Ding Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, a wisp of cold light flashed away, years of experience allowed him to quickly judge the sound of the tiger running, but the strange thing is that he only heard the sound of the tiger running, but did not hear the sound of other animals running, under normal circumstances, if it is a tiger hunting, according to the sound of running and his own direction, the sound of the prey running will not be heard, for this Ding Hao has absolute confidence!
If it wasn't hunting, what could make the tiger run with all its might, Ding Hao was a little puzzled. In his confusion, another voice appeared in his ears again, this is the sound of skin rubbing against soil, is it a snake? No, pythons don't have such a big friction force, what is it, Ding Hao can't judge, but this sound made him get another amazing judgment - this tiger is running away with all its might! It is avoiding the animals behind!
Ding Hao never knew what could make a tiger so scared in the forest, and as the sound kept approaching, Ding Hao judged that the tiger was in danger, and it was even faster than the tiger!
At this time, Ding Hao began to think about his own safety, and the animals that could make the tigers run away with their lives were definitely not something he could easily deal with.
Subconsciously, his eyes flashed and he found the tallest tree, and climbed up with agility like a wild ape. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, except for other animals that could fly, basically could not pose a threat to him.
Standing on the tree, by the moonlight, Ding Hao's vision was broader. Coming, with the appearance of this great beast, a whirlwind rolled up on the ground, and its colored fur fluttered like a phantom.
The tiger is about three meters long, and the tiger's tail is also one meter long, and judging by its weight of 300 kilograms, you can know that it is an adult tiger surnamed a male, but at this time it is running like crazy -- not predatory, but just fleeing to survive! Now Ding Hao is even more curious about what kind of animal is chasing it?
Nearer, behind it was an even larger whirlwind, mixed with dust and leaves, unclear.
At the interval of a breath, the tiger roared past the tree where Ding Hao was hiding, and at this time, Ding Hao finally saw what kind of animal was chasing it!
gasped, and then he began to rejoice in the decisiveness of climbing the tree by himself just now! I saw a monster that looked like a python not a python and a snake but not a snake, with two horns and two wings on its head, appeared in the field of vision, this monster's dark purple eyes were as big as fists, about eight meters long, thick as a barrel, covered with thick scales, and there were several rows of conical teeth in the open mouth, just looking at the hardness, Ding Hao did not dare to doubt that it had great lethality.
Although the monster was still a few feet away, the fishy smell in its mouth had already come to its nose, Ding Hao only smelled a little bit and felt a little dull in his chest, and immediately closed his breath, secretly calling luck in his heart, but he didn't expect that the fishy smell in his mouth had this poisonous surname.
Of course, this monster would not know that there was another prey on the big tree above its head, and it also roared in front of Ding Hao, but it formed a whirlwind as it moved, and the dead branches and dirt brought up by the whirlwind had temporarily blurred Ding Hao's vision.
At this time, a mournful tiger roar announced the end of this chase battle, at this time Ding Hao looked in the direction of the sound again, and found that the tiger had fallen silently, just looking at the unnatural distortion of the tiger's body, Ding Hao could be sure that the living tiger would never be able to put it out.
At this time, Ding Hao had already begun to consider whether he needed to get closer to observe, but this idea was immediately rejected, he thought of the consequences of being discovered by the monster, just by looking at it, he knew that this monster was cruel and absolutely murderous, looking at its thick scales, Ding Hao began to doubt whether his bow and arrow could be lethal to it, and its mountain-like size made Ding Hao not have the slightest confidence in his own strength, not to mention that it was also hugely poisonous!
Ding Hao quickly came to the conclusion that this thing is definitely not something he can deal with, and staying in place is definitely the wisest thing to do at present!
After a moment of hesitation, when Ding Hao looked at the monster again, he found that one-third of the tiger had been devoured, and the speed of the monster's devouring made Ding Hao wonder if it had swallowed it directly without chewing, and its next bite of the tiger's neck immediately dispelled Ding Hao's doubts, and he no longer dared to doubt the sharpness of its teeth!
With a cup of tea, the tiger has been eaten clean, and all that remains is broken tiger skin and bones all over the ground!
The monster didn't have enough to eat, its dark purple eyes flashing around, as if it was looking for its next prey.
Without any warning, a shrill birdsong suddenly sounded in Ding Hao's ears, and the monster's dark purple eyes flashed, and it began to return like a desperate return!
There was even something that scared it! Ding Hao was suddenly stunned!
