Volume 1: Heavenly Machine Pavilion Turbulence Chapter 4: Hunting
Tianlan Continent, a world full of mysterious colors.
The mainland is dozens of times larger than the Earth where Ling Feng lived in his previous life. Except for the twelve alien tribes living in the southern wilderness, most of the region is controlled by a group of mysterious people who call themselves - cultivators!
Cultivators, who comprehend the creation of heaven and earth, are well-versed in various Daoist techniques and magical powers. They possess immense power and can harness the energy of various mysterious treasures and artifacts to shake the heavens and command awe-inspiring authority. Some of those who have attained a high level of enlightenment can even live for thousands of years without dying.
Same as the Nanhuang Twelve Clans, they have a long history of blood lineage and possess mysterious and unpredictable witchcraft secrets. However, they are viewed by cultivators as barbaric and savage aliens who drink blood and eat raw flesh. Since ancient times, both sides have been sworn enemies, vowing not to coexist, and have been constantly at war.
The land is barren and desolate, with treacherous mountains and evil waters, filled with poisonous substances and ferocious beasts. The twelve alien tribes have difficulty multiplying their bloodlines, and the population is sparse. Therefore, in battles against cultivators, the Southern Barbarian Aliens are always at a disadvantage, and as time goes on, this disadvantage becomes more and more apparent!
Now, the Southern Barbarian tribes are under the strong attack of the Xiu Xian Men sect and have become a passive defense side, unable to counterattack. Under helplessness, the tribal alliance reached a ceasefire agreement with the Xiu Xian Men sect, forcing them to provide a large number of goods to the Xiu Xian Men sect every year in exchange for the peaceful life of their people.
Ling Feng, when he arrived in this world, it was precisely on the most humiliating day of the Nanjiang Alien Alliance!
Man must adapt himself to his environment in order to survive!
Undeniably, Ling Feng's ability to adapt to his environment is very strong.
He has been adapting to his current life for only a short year since birth. Every time he finishes drinking the full bowl of red ** brought by his father, he always asks his father to take him to the martial arts arena to watch the magnificent performances of his clansmen.
Apart from the initial shock and inability to accept, every time Lingfeng went to the martial arts arena, he saw the strong power displayed by his tribesmen, he would be extremely excited, especially when his tribesmen transformed into different types of fierce beasts and fought, his blood boiled, riding on his father's shoulders, waving his hands and feet, shouting loudly in his mouth, cheering for the fighting tribesmen!
Every time he saw his son's excited look, Ling Tu couldn't help but laugh and looked at him with a praising gaze, saying: "Feng Er, when you grow up, you will definitely surpass them and become the strongest beast soul warrior of the Sheng Meng tribe!"
The descendants of the Shengman tribe have an incredibly powerful bloodline, and once they reach the age of eight, after a special ritual is performed to awaken it, the beast soul bloodline within their bodies will be activated, allowing them to cultivate the Shengman tribe's secret techniques and become formidable Beast Soul Warriors!
Ling Feng is exactly one year old this year, and he is very much looking forward to the day when his bloodline awakens!
…………………………
In spring, the sunshine is bright and beautiful, with gentle breezes blowing softly, grass growing long and swallows flying about, the scenery is enchanting.
In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from the Chu Shan tribe's camp, the trees are lush and the rocks are steep. Unnamed birds chirp and call out, their clear and crisp sounds being particularly pleasant to hear!
Two figures, one tall and one short, were squatting under a big tree, fiddling with something, the sunlight filtering through the leaves revealing their childish faces covered in sweat droplets, but their eyes shone with joyful expressions.
"Ah... Ah Feng, did your trap work?" A slightly stuttering voice rang out, spoken by the slightly taller kid with dark skin and a sturdy build, his goofy expression turned towards another kid with big eyes beside him.
"Of course it works, otherwise we wouldn't have been busy for the past two days!" The boy known as Ah Feng smiled and spread out the branches evenly on the ground, then patted his hands, stood up, took a closer look at the ground, and showed a satisfied expression.
Then he winked at his companion and ordered: "Heizi, climb the tree!"
"Wow!" The boy named 'Heizi' rubbed his head, grinned foolishly, and then used his hands and feet to climb quickly onto the branches of a large tree beside him, with exceptionally agile movements.
That boy named A Feng saw his companion climb the tree, then took out a large piece of cooked meat from his pocket and sniffed it at the edge of his mouth. His small face showed an intoxicated expression, "Damn, I've also paid a bloody price to catch this guy!" He muttered, throwing the cooked meat on the ground covered with branches, and then agilely climbed onto the tree fork like a civet cat, standing together with his companion.
"Afeng, listen...listen to what my dad said, although the brown-haired wild boar is not a demon beast, this guy's skin is thick and his temper is violent, very...very difficult to deal with!"
"Haha, I've come prepared!" Ah Feng's face revealed a triumphant smile as he reached into his waist and pulled out an intricately designed crossbow. The three sharp arrowheads on the bowstring gleamed brightly in the sunlight, appearing extremely sharp.
"The crossbow is designed by my own hands, equipped with three arrows made of refined iron, which can even penetrate the stone of Lianshan. Haha, I don't believe that the skin of a brown-haired wild boar is harder than stone!"
"Afeng, what's your little brain made of? You can even think of such a strange and weird thing!" Heizi gazed at the bow and arrow in his hand with scorching eyes, his face filled with admiration.
"Keep your voice down, the prey will be hooked soon!" Ah Feng made a silencing gesture, his mouth close to Hei Zi's ear, and whispered: "After we kill this wild boar, I'll give you the crossbow!" Hei Zi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Two children crouched on a branch, their eyes fixed intently below, waiting quietly for prey to appear.
After more than half a watch, Hei Zi couldn't help but glance at his companion, intending to speak, only to see the other's eyes change, staring fixedly ahead without moving.
Following Ah Feng's line of sight, he saw that from a dense thicket of shrubs about ten or more zhang away below, a rustling sound was coming, and in just two or three breaths, a wild boar with a completely red beard and two fangs over a foot long at the corners of its mouth appeared!
This wild boar is as big as a calf, with a sturdy body, obviously an adult brown-haired wild boar. After appearing, the narrow nostrils kept sniffing, seemingly attracted by the smell of cooked meat. The bright red pig eyes saw the cooked meat on the ground in front, and let out a happy hum from its mouth, four hooves scattered, and rushed over.
As they saw their prey step by step approaching the trap they had set, the two children standing on the branches of the tree held their breath, not even daring to breathe out loud, for fear of startling the prey.
Before the brown boar's snout touched the ripe meat on the branch, a loud "bang" was heard, and the entire body of the brown boar sank into the ground. A pit over one zhang deep appeared in the place that was originally covered with leaves.
"Yea!" A shout of excitement, Ah Feng saw the prey fall into the trap, his small face revealing an excited expression. He raised the bow and arrow in his hand, aiming at the brown-haired wild boar's head that had fallen to the bottom of the pit, 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' shooting out three arrows in succession.
"Ahhh..."
A deafening howl came from the bottom of the cave, three sharp arrows hit the target without deviation, one of which even shot out the left eye of the brown-haired wild boar.
Logically, an arrow that can penetrate a mountain rock should be able to kill a brown-haired wild boar instantly. However, the two children standing on the tree branch clearly saw that although the sharp arrow was inserted into the head of the brown-haired wild boar, it only penetrated less than an inch deep. Is the skin of this brown-haired wild boar really harder than stone?
"Ah... Ah Feng, something's off!" Hei Zi was a good-natured person, but not stupid. He found that the prey in the trap was somewhat abnormal and hastily reminded him.
"It's a bit off... Could it be that the arrowhead forged by Liu Bo is not of good quality? No, I've tried shooting before, and it can indeed penetrate even mountain rocks..."
At the time when Ah Feng was filled with doubts, the brown-haired wild boar's body in the trap below suddenly underwent a strange transformation. Its entire body of reddish-brown fur instantly turned blood-red, it raised its head, and its only remaining eye stared fixedly at the two people on the tree, its gaze full of resentment and anger. Suddenly, it opened its big mouth and spat out a ball of red flames towards the two children hiding in the branches.
"Yā de, xuè zōng huǒ zhū, hēi zǐ, kuài pǎo!"
Translation: "Damn it, bloody hell pig, black son, run fast!"
Seeing the explosive and scorching fireball approaching, Ah Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, he let out a cry of surprise, grabbed Hei Zi and jumped under the tree.
The brown-haired wild boar is just an ordinary beast, while the Blood Fiend Fire Boar is a first-class demon. This demon normally has blood-red fur all over its body, and only changes color when it molts, looking extremely similar to the brown-haired wild boar!
Jumping directly from a tree over two zhang high, the huge impact force made the two unable to stand firm, and they rolled on the ground. Just as they got up, a loud "boom" sound was heard beside their ears, followed by a rain of broken branches and leaves with sparks.
The two of them didn't look back and ran forward with all their might. They knew in their hearts that the trap they had dug was fundamentally unable to capture a demonic beast, a Blood Boar that could spit out fireballs and injure people!
Just as they had run six or seven zhang forward, a loud rumbling sound came from the ground beneath their feet. Suddenly, the Blood Boar that had fallen into the pit let out a deafening roar and charged towards the two people who were desperately sprinting forward, its single eye fixed intently on them. With a fierce cry, it launched itself into the air, its massive body, as big as a cow's, flying towards the duo with a piercing whistling sound.
