Walking along the steep mountain path, Nathan Wei soon arrived at the outer mountain area of Xiaozhou Mountain.
It was late autumn, and the wild grass on the mountain had long since withered and turned yellow, leaving only the wild grass on both sides of the stream still green.
The stream is a dividing line, dividing the huge Xiaozhou Mountain into two parts. The stream is the inner mountain, which is rich in wild animal resources, but correspondingly, the danger level has also increased a lot.
Even deep in the mountains, one could occasionally hear the roar of tigers.
Only the most experienced hunters would dare to venture into the inner mountains to try their luck.
The current Nathan Wei is not qualified to step into the inner mountain.
The sound of the gurgling stream surrounded Nathan Wei's ears. At this moment, he was hiding behind a wild jujube tree, quietly observing the movements beside the stream.
A light blue panel appeared in Nathan Wei's mind.
【Nathan Wei
Skills: Archery 1.5/20 (beginner)
Track 0/30 (Beginner)
Points; 5]
Nathan Wei tried to put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and sure enough, the data on the panel changed.
【Archery 0/20 (Beginner)】
Nathan Wei was delighted. He didn't expect that the archery skill enhanced by the bow and arrow was actually based on the maximum value he could achieve at the moment!
After calming down his inner joy, Nathan Wei continued to hide behind the sour jujube tree, waiting quietly.
Next, all you have to do is wait patiently for the prey to come.
This concerns his dinner, so he has no choice but to be patient and cautious.
And patience is the thing that Nathan Wei, who had been lying in bed for more than ten years in his previous life, has the most.
Soon, several hours passed and the sun was setting. If he were an ordinary hunter, he would probably just curse and say that there would be no goods today and go home.
But Nathan Wei still hid behind the tree like a stone statue, not even moving.
Finally, Nathan Wei's prey was found.
A grass-gray hare cautiously jumped to the stream, scooped up water with its two front paws and combed its hair while looking around vigilantly. It ate a mouthful of grass roots and then quickly raised its head.
Everything was quiet around, and seemed no different from before.
However, just as the hare relaxed its vigilance slightly and lowered its head to nibble on the grass roots, the sound of the bowstring vibrating suddenly rang out!
What followed was a whistling sound that broke through the air!
The hare panicked and tried to escape, but it was too late!
The sharp iron arrow had smashed its skull and came out from behind its ear!
Click, click.
Nathan Wei came out from behind the sour jujube tree. He seemed exhausted. The long period of concentration had almost exhausted all his strength.
He has been waiting behind the sour jujube tree for nearly four hours!
In order to catch the hare, he spent more than ten minutes just aiming, and only when he felt the hare was within the distance where he had 100% chance of hitting the target did he suddenly strike.
He can't afford to make mistakes.
He quickly took out the sharp stone knife that had been sharpened long ago, skinned the rabbit, collected some firewood, and lit it with a tinderbox.
Nathan Wei went straight to the stream, found an old wooden ladle that someone had discarded, put the rabbit in it and started cooking.
Although barbecued meat is delicious, the fat dripping into the fire is a waste.
Now I can't let go of any fat.
Soon, the rabbit soup mixed with wild vegetables in the wooden ladle was cooked, exuding a rich aroma. Nathan Wei couldn't wait to bite off a piece of rabbit meat. The unique aroma of the meat instantly whetted his appetite.
When facing hunger, you don’t care whether something is fishy or not.
In less than half an hour, a wild rabbit weighing about three pounds was eaten until only bones were left.
Even the rabbit soup with a layer of oil on it was eaten by Nathan Wei.
After eating a full meal, Nathan Wei felt refreshed by the warm feeling in his stomach.
But he did not stay here. He put out the fire, threw the rabbit bones into the stream, and hurried down the mountain.
The noses of wild animals are much sharper than those of humans, and he was afraid that the aroma of cooking rabbit would attract wild animals in the mountains.
Nathan Wei walked and looked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
But sometimes, people are much more terrifying than beasts.
If I had the ability now, I could take this rabbit home and enjoy it alone.
But now my fists are not strong enough, even if I hunt a wild boar, I am afraid it will be taken away by the people in the village.
In this world, it is really hard for ordinary people to live.
Walking back to the village along the mountain road, the thing Nathan Wei least wanted to see happened.
A dark-skinned man in his thirties with a bare back and a body that seemed to be covered with oil had already been standing at the door with his hands on his H!ps. He looked at Nathan Wei coming down the mountain road, a smile that showed that everything was under control appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This black man was Niu Er, who was suspected of killing the original owner's father and leaving the whole family wiped out.
Niu Er walked over quickly and patted Nathan Wei's shoulder with a half-smile on his face. "I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't at home, nor at Liu Lingling's house, so I knew you went up the mountain to hunt."
Niu Er glanced at the broken wooden bow on Nathan Wei's back and finally couldn't help but sneer.
"Xiao Zhengzi, if you want to eat meat, tell Brother Niu and he will take you up the mountain. You can't catch anything with this broken fire stick!"
As Niu Er spoke, he took out a steamed bun and chewed it.
"Zhengzi, are you hungry? Give me your hunter's order and I will give you this steamed bread."
Nathan Wei sneered in his heart, I just prepared a rabbit meal, who wants to eat your rotten steamed bread?
No matter how silly you are, you still have to pretend.
"Brother Niu." Nathan Wei played dumb.
"I, I really don't know where my father is hiding."
"Bullsh!t!" Niu Er glared, trying to force Nathan Wei with his imposing manner.
"That's your biological father! If he didn't tell you, why wouldn't he tell me?"
Niu Er pointed his finger at Nathan Wei's chest, stared at him with his boar-like eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Zhengzi, I don't care whether you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid, anyway, I will give you another five days!
If you still can't come up with it after five days, don't blame me for opposing you!"
As he said this, Niu Er seemed to be furious and pushed Nathan Wei hard.
"get out!"
However, before Nathan Wei could walk back home, as soon as he turned the corner, a young man stopped him.
"Nathan Wei! Let me tell you!" The young man seemed to be quite hesitant. He first stretched his neck to look into the distance. Seeing that no one was coming, he lowered his head and spoke viciously to Nathan Wei.
"If you still want to marry my sister Liu Lingling, then I tell you, you must not give the Hunter Order to Niu Er!
Otherwise, see if you can see my sister in the future! I, Liu Tao, keep my word! "
Nathan Wei just glanced at Liu Tao quietly. He looked pale and thin, and his steps were unsteady, just like a spirited young man. Naturally, he was not afraid of him.
At the very least, he was the son of a hunter, his father had been hunting all year round, and his body was nourished by various meats to be strong. It was just that his original body was too cowardly, which made the young man have the illusion that he was afraid of him.
"Oh, then you can just wait for your sister to never get married."
Nathan Wei was not afraid at all, and looked down at Liu Tao, who was a head shorter than him, with provocation.
"Are you looking for death?"
Liu Tao originally wanted to show off his power as before, but when he saw Nathan Wei deliberately straightening his body, which was a head taller than him, he inexplicably felt timid.
"Anyway, if you dare give it to Niu Er, I will definitely make you pay for it!"
Liu Tao didn't get any advantage from Nathan Wei, so he had to leave quickly after saying some harsh words.
Returning to his bare home, Nathan Wei hung the bow and arrow on the bed, his eyes sparkling.
"Two things can be confirmed now.
First, Niu Er must die. If he doesn't, I will never be able to succeed.
As for the second one."
Nathan Wei let out a wicked smile like a cat playing with a mouse and looked in the direction Liu Tao left.
