Chapter 9 The Sensation of Tiger Cliff Castle (Part 1).
Conan Mountain Road: "Even if they invade, we still need to prepare food for the cold season, otherwise... what should we do?"
Nothing happened overnight.
Ke Dashan said: "This, hehe, this... Xiao Hu, this is each to his own."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and hugged her, saying, "You went to pick wild vegetables again. We don't need too much this year. I will bring back a lot of meat."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "I'll go up there."
... ....
Lei Xingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Bai Tou, you're in this team?" He had never known that Hu Bai Tou was in this hunting team. Hu Bai Tou had helped him before, when he was in difficulty, by giving him some food.
Lei Xingfeng has always maintained a grateful heart towards those who have helped him. He pulled Hu Bai Tou to the side and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Bai Tou, how long have you been out?"
Although Hu Daniu was skeptical, he saw so much barbarian beef with his own eyes and it didn't seem fake. He smiled and said, "Hehe, Dashan, did you hunt this yourself? This thing... not many people can kill it... By the way, where are the cow horns and skin?"
It took less than an hour to arrive home, and Ke Dashan and two others came to the door.
Old Man said: "You are no longer an ordinary person. Once you cultivate the power of the Thunder Wheel, you will be stronger than all ordinary people. You cannot be measured by previous concepts anymore!"
Lei Xingfeng has only cultivated the power of more than 40 thunder wheels, so the impact of thunder wheel power on him is not significant. Only when he cultivates the power of 100 wheels, its effect will gradually become apparent.
Lei Xingfeng completely cannot understand, but he does not resist. Otherwise, he would not decisively kill people in the wilderness. This is also influenced by the people of Tiger Cliff Castle for a long time. He has seen too many hunters die at the hands of the Eagle Leader hunters. The last time, the son of Qing Auntie who gave the Barbarian Bull Hard Skin and the *Map* book died at the hands of the Eagle Leader people. Therefore, he kills without any psychological burden.
The old man said, "Afeng, go, at home, there's me and Yaoyao, no need to worry." He also knew that once the cold season arrived, food would be a big issue. In the past, it relied on the two children to find food, going hungry at times. He didn't want to starve the children, but his injuries needed rest. He absolutely couldn't go out hunting. If his injuries worsened, it would be over. Leaving behind two children, how could he possibly be at ease.
Ke Dashan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really are resting at home? Come back with us. There is still so much meat in the treehouse. If we don't bring it back, it would be a shame."
The old man said, "As long as there is enough food, it's good enough. Your current task is not to catch as much as possible, but to focus on practicing and improving your skills. Once you reach the level of a hundred rounds of strength, even in the cold season, you can still go out hunting."
Kedashan Road: "If any situation is found, blow the whistle."
The old man said, "Killing before the power of the Hundred Wheels, haha, has great benefits for controlling your Thunder Wheel power."
Tiger Cliff Fortress has over a thousand people. Although most of them look familiar, Lei Xingfeng only knows a few hundred people, and he is also unclear about the composition of each hunting team.
Several traps set up by Conan on the mountain were broken. Several wild beasts that tried to get meat from the tree house suffered losses. Therefore, the beef in the tree house was not damaged. Fortunately, they came back quickly. If it had been overnight, there would probably be little left.
The old man said, "The Thunderbolt Force is violent and killing can serve as a release. Those who cultivate the Thunderbolt Force... will have many enemies. Of course, you can also find other ways to release your emotions, as long as you can resolve the disadvantages brought by cultivating the Thunderbolt Force. No matter what method you choose, it is a major drawback of cultivating the Thunderbolt Force."
Lei Xingfeng doesn't want to say much. In the past, he didn't have the ability, but now as long as he works hard, he believes that he has the ability to provide for his grandfather and younger sister.
Lei Xingyao came back from outside the door, carrying a small basket filled with a lot of wild vegetables. Every year, she has to pick a lot of wild vegetables, besides eating, she also needs to dry them and eat them in the cold season. When she saw several large back baskets, she knew her brother had come back. Excitedly, she rushed into the room and plunged into Lei Xingfeng's arms. It's only been two days, and she's already very uncomfortable. She said, "Brother!"
Lei Xingfeng said mysteriously, "Uncle Ke, do you have a moment?"
Wild chickens and wild rabbits, in the eyes of people in this world, cannot be considered as staple food at all. For an ordinary person, they can easily eat three or four wild chickens in one meal, which is simply not enough. It is completely different from eating beef. Therefore, only those hunters who can hunt large animals can be considered qualified.
Lei Xingfeng hesitated for a moment. Of course, he understood the meaning behind Hu Baitou's words. He was not truly sixteen years old, and his thoughts were much more complex than those hunters. After all, the people here had very little contact with the outside world and still maintained extremely simple customs, with very few instances of deceit and trickery.
Raiden Xingfeng said, "Didn't they say that someone from the Eagle Clan invaded?"
After giving a few instructions to Yao Yao, although the little girl was reluctant, she also knew that her brother was doing it for the winter food. She waved obediently. Ke Dashan sighed and said, "My daughter at home is not as well-behaved as Yao Yao, she only knows how to eat all day long, she's almost lazy to death."
The sound of inhaling became a chorus. The way these seven people looked at Ke Dashan changed. Just kidding, if they could hunt down some barbarian bulls, they wouldn't need too many, just a few would be enough to safely get through the winter. As long as they hunted some small animals on the side, it would be enough to survive. What could be more important than safely getting through the winter? For hunters in this world, having enough food is a happy thing.
Four people rushed to the tree house together. It was already dark, and they had almost run all the way here. They knew that it was too dangerous to be on the road after dark.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Okay, I haven't gotten used to it yet."
He said, "Grandfather, this time I hunted two wild bulls, but unfortunately I encountered the hunter from the Eagle Tribe. Most of the meat is still left in the treehouse. I don't know if there is still a chance to retrieve it. I brought back a complete bullhide, horns, and a lot of meat. Uncle Ke and the others took good care of me and gave me most of it."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Okay!" The four of them each carried empty large baskets on their backs and walked out together.
Hu Baitou said, "Last time... didn't I tell you? If you want to join the hunting team, come find me. So, you joined the team in the mountains."
Lei Xingfeng quickly climbed onto the tree branch where he had practiced last night. After sitting down, he began to cultivate. He knew in his heart that there should be no danger at this time. He seized the time to cultivate and strive to reach the power of a hundred rotations as soon as possible. This was very important to him because the old man had said that once he possessed the power of a hundred rotations, he could hunt in the cold season.
Conan Mountain Road: "Thanks to your hardworking dad, your daughter at home is living a life of luxury."
What? You hunt!
Looking at the little girl who was as busy as a bee, Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh. A girl of over six years old was already taking care of the whole family. Fortunately, people in this world have excellent physical fitness and great strength. Even though the little girl is only six years old, she can easily carry fifty or sixty catties of things as if it were a game, without any effort.
Translation:Lei Xingfeng said, "Uncle Bai, I... I don't want to make things difficult for you." He knew very well that Hu Baitou was just an ordinary member of the team, and that even if he wanted to bring in new members, his say alone wouldn't count. He needed to get the majority of the team's agreement, which was difficult for Hu Baitou to achieve.
The next morning, while Ke Dashan and a few others were sorting out the remaining barbarian beef, another hunting team arrived. They were also a hunting team from Tiger Cliff Fortress, totaling seven people. Under the guidance of Ke Dashan, they came to the tree house. Immediately, the small tree house was crowded with people. They didn't have much prey. Compared to Ke Dashan and his team, this hunting team had much worse luck and strength. They only caught some small animals like wild chickens and rabbits.
Uncle Bai, those two wild oxen were hunted by me.
Conan Mountain Road: "It has already been sent back once," he said, secretly rejoicing that they had returned, otherwise the remaining beef would have been cheap for these guys.
Hu Daniu and Hu Xiaohu do not know Lei Xingfeng, but it is certain that they look familiar when they meet.
Ke Dashan chuckled and said, "Lao Hu, it's not just one, but two mighty bulls!"
The old man laughed heartily and said, "Slowly, you will get used to it. Seize the time to cultivate."
Looking at the treehouse filled with dried beef, all seven members of the hunting team were envious. The leader, Hu Danian, said, "Heavens, you actually caught a wild bull! Dashan, how... how did you manage this?"
Hu Daniu's mouth moved slightly, but ultimately failed to stop it. This kind of inquiry is considered impolite, as it involves the hunter's secret techniques, which he himself also wants to know.
Hu Xiaohu is the cousin of Hu Daniu. In Hu Daniu's team, he is the strongest hunter, on par with Conan Shan. He said, "How did you manage to kill two wild bulls?" He still had some doubts in his mind, which was inevitable to feel jealous. It was too eye-catching. Now it's already in the late hunting season. If they can't gather enough meat, they will go hungry in the cold season. No one wants to go hungry.
Even if he cannot understand it, Lei Xingfeng fully accepts it. In this world, it cannot be measured by the moral standards of the past life.
Ke Dashan said, "Nanshan and Keshi, go rearrange the traps. Afeng, you come to guard." He had already noticed that Leixing Peak had sharp senses and was good at reconnaissance and guarding.
Lei Xingfeng exclaimed, "Hunting in the cold season? That would freeze people to death!"
The little girl is very diligent. She hangs strings of small red fruits on a rope to dry, and after finishing that, she goes to sort out the beef brought back by Leixing Peak and hangs it under the eaves to air dry. This is the main food of the winter season.
Lei Xingyao said, "I like to eat wild vegetables." As she spoke, she came out of Lei Xingfeng's arms and said, "I'm going to organize. Today, I collected a lot of small red fruits. I'm going to hang them outside to dry!" The small red fruits are a kind of fruit similar to hawthorn. After drying, they can be stored for a long time. When cooked together with meat, they can make the meat tender and delicious. It is a seasoning. During this season, almost all women and children will go picking."
Hu sighed and whispered, "This journey has been difficult all along. We dare not hunt the powerful beasts, and there are few small animals. We have been out for three days and only have such a small harvest. If we cannot hunt larger prey, this hunting trip will be a failure."
After cultivating the Thunder Wheel Power, one must kill. This puzzled Lei Xingfeng.
In the team of Hu Daniu, there is a middle-aged man with a big beard, whose hair has turned white. Among the hunters, he is known as Hu Baitou. He was the last to climb up and noticed that something was not right. When he saw Lei Xingfeng, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Ah Feng, you're out hunting too. Time flies."
