"Dad! Mom!" Teng Qing Shan strode into his own courtyard.

  In the main room, Teng Yongfan smiled and said: "Qingshan, weve been waiting for you. Actually, practicing your sword for three or four hours a day is enough." At this moment, Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan, and their daughter Teng Qingyu were already seated around the wooden table, and Teng Qingshan also put down his sword and sat down to start eating.

  "I know." Teng Qing Shan said after taking two bites, "Father, Mother, I want to join the Hunter Squad."

  "Hunter Team?" Yuan Lan looked at her man, Cheng Yongfan, with some hesitation.

  Teng Yongfan furrowed his brow: "Qingshan, youre only nine years old, and you want to join the Hunters Team?" The Hunters Team was a group of the bravest men in the tribe, led by Teng Yonglei, who often ventured into the Great Yan Mountain to hunt and kill prey, allowing every household in Tengjiazhuang to have meat to eat. Moreover, the fur from wild beasts could also be sold for money.

  "My strength should be able to rank in the top ten within the manor." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  At this mention, Chen Yongfans face couldnt help but reveal a hint of a smile.

  At the age of nine, Teng Qing Shan lifted a 600-jin giant stone, and obviously, that was not his limit. In terms of strength alone, Teng Qing Shan could indeed rank among the top ten in Teng Village.

  "Haha……youre talented, indeed you should hone your skills!" Living in this cruel world, Teng Yongfan also saw the bright side and laughed, "Starting from tomorrow, youll join the Hunter Squad! Ill go talk to your grandfather this afternoon, and by tomorrow morning, you can directly head to the training grounds and meet up with the clans Hunter Squad!"

  "Thank you, Father!" Teng Qing Shan was overjoyed.

  Yuan Lan beside him, however, glared at Teng Yongfan with a hint of resentment, as if blaming him for agreeing to his sons request.

  "Brother, can you bring me a little wild rabbit?" Qing Yus big eyes, free of impurities, stared at Tan Qing Shan.

  "No problem." Teng Qing Shan smiled and said.

  "My brother is the kindest to me." Qing Yu smiled mischievously.

  "Green Mountain," Teng Yongfan suddenly said, "I see you often carry a few flying knives. Are you practicing with them in the forest to the west?"

  "Its just casual practice." Teng Qing Shan smiled, his father was a blacksmith, and it was easy for him to go to the blacksmith shop to fetch ten flying knives. In his past life, he had spent a lot of effort on flying knives, now he only played with them slightly when resting from spear practice, maintaining his feel for them.

  After all, flying knives can be used for long-range attacks and can be perfectly coordinated with ones own spear.

  "Im just reminding you, when practicing something, you must focus." Teng Yongfan said casually.

  ******

  The next morning, the sky was just getting light.

  His sister Qing Yu was still fast asleep, while Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan and Teng Qingshan were already in their own courtyard.

  "Qingshan, you have talent and your marksmanship is good. However, on the Great Yan Mountain, there are many ferocious beasts and venomous snakes, so you must be careful. When fighting with ferocious beasts, you absolutely cannot show a hint of cowardice." Teng Yongfan solemnly exhorted, he was very clear that many people had strength and good marksmanship, but when faced with life-and-death battles, seeing blood might make their legs go soft, how could they fight?

  If youre scared stiff, you cant bring your strength into play!

  "Green Mountain." Mother Yuan Lan also instructed, "Dont show off, and stay with the other clan members. Come, put on this animal skin coat."

  Wearing leather boots, and wearing a beast skin cloak on his body, this beast skin cloak is made from the thick-skinned wild beasts, after processing. Wearing this beast skin cloak is equivalent to wearing a simple small armor, with protective effect.

  "Dont worry, Dad and Mom! Ill go first."

  Hong Qingshan held a long gun made of green nanmu wood and strode out of the courtyard.

  ……

  On the martial arts field, it was still early and the sky was just beginning to brighten up. The morning training had not yet started, so there were not many people on the field. However, the members of the Hunter Team had already begun to gather, with many of them laughing and chatting loudly, each one looking bold and carefree.

  "Haha...... The number one good man of the Teng family has arrived!" As soon as Teng Qing Shan entered the martial arts arena, he heard a voice from afar and couldnt help but smile as he walked towards it.

  "Teng Qing Shan!" Teng Yong Lei walked over with big strides, laughing loudly and heavily patted Teng Qing Shans shoulder, "Good kid, joining the Hunter Squad at just 9 years old. In the history of my Teng Family Village, youre the first one!

  "I was thirteen when I came in, Qing Shan is indeed quite formidable." A robust youth with a height of over seven feet, wearing the same animal hide cloak, said with a smile.

  "Older brother." Teng Qing Shan smiled and greeted him, that person was precisely Teng Qing Hu.

  On the martial arts field, there were other hard-training tribesmen. The eyes of those tribesmen looking at the Hunter Squad members all contained a hint of envy. Being able to become a member of the Hunter Squad was absolutely a well-known good fellow within the tribe, each and every one having unfathomable strength.

  The hunting team, including Teng Qing Shan who just joined today, has thirty-two people.

  "Alright, everyone is here, lets set off!"

  Thirty-two hunters from Teng Village, each carrying a long spear and wearing deerskin cloaks, left Teng Village with their longbows on their backs.

  "Green Mountain, after going up the mountain, you mustnt fall behind. Many people get lost on their first time up the mountain and dont understand some of the dangers. Youre here for the first time, so look around carefully and listen!" Tan Yonglei pointed out along the way to Tan Qing Shan, who listened intently.

  In fact, in the previous life, outdoor survival skills were a must-learn for assassins.

  Its just that the mountains and forests of this world are the same as those of the previous life, Teng Qing Shan is not sure, so he dare not be careless.

  ******

  Early in the morning, Da Yan Mountain was quiet and still. A group of hunters were advancing deep into the mountain.

  "There are no ferocious beasts on the outskirts of this mountain, mostly just wild rabbits and pheasants. The real ferocious beasts are deep in the mountains!" Teng Yonglei said as he walked, and at that moment, a small wild rabbit in the thorny bushes beside him seemed to have been startled by the crowd and was about to make a run for it.

  Teng Qing Shans eyes lit up, and the long spear in his hand shot towards the wild rabbit like a venomous snake.

  "Bang!" The gun muzzle was stuck in the wild rabbits side, and then the gun muzzle shook, bouncing on the wild rabbits body, rolling it over. Teng Qing Shan rushed forward, stretched out his hand and caught the wild rabbit.

  "Good marksmanship." Many of the surrounding tribespeople saw this and couldnt help but praise him.

  Its quite challenging to catch a wild rabbit without hurting it.

  "Whats the point of catching them alive?" Teng Yonglei laughed.

  "Uncle, Im going to bring this wild rabbit back for Qing Yu to play with," Teng Qing Shan said as he bound the rabbit and put it directly into his backpack.

  The people around couldnt help but burst out laughing. They hadnt yet reached the depths of the great mountain, and everyone seemed to be in a very relaxed mood. Along the way, they also shot and killed two wild chickens. After nearly an hour, the hunting party finally entered the danger zone, which was also where the most prey were found.

  "Everyone, cheer up!" Teng Yonglei said in a low voice.

  At noon.

  Deep in the Daxianshan Mountains, a group of hunters from Tengjiazhuang were approaching a water source, roasting a wolf.

  "Todays luck is really average, and so far Ive only managed to get two wild chickens, one wolf, and one boar." Teng Qinghu muttered to himself, Teng Qingshan glanced at the already skinned and roasted wolf: "Indeed, its probably due to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the ferocious beasts in this mountain, even if they are of the same species, are larger than those in the previous world."

  In his previous life, a wolf weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms, but this wolf weighs over one hundred kilograms.

  Thirty-two ethnic people roasted and ate more than half of a wolfs body.

  "Take a break and continue on our way." Teng Yonglei rubbed his nose, "Hmph, at least we need to kill two or three more wild boars to bring back, thats about right." The Teng family village has over 2,000 people, the current prey they have is not enough to divide among them, and one wild boar weighs several hundred kilograms, bringing back two or three would be sufficient.

  Wild boars have large bodies and good meat quality, but are difficult to slaughter.

  After all, the wild boars in the mountains are no less powerful than tigers when they attack.

  "Huh?" Teng Qing Shans ears perked up, and he involuntarily turned his head to look in the not-too-far distance, only to see a white shadow flash by.

  "Its Snow Leopard!" The cry spread among the tribesmen.

  "Quickly chase!" Teng Yonglei jumped up.

  Thirty-two ethnic people threw away the wart pigs they had hunted before and scattered them on the ground, chasing after that white shadow!

  Thats sable!

  Generally, sable fur in the city is worth thousands of pieces of white silver, and a good snow leopard skin is worth at least three thousand pieces of white silver. If you can kill this snow leopard, its equivalent to killing a hundred wild boars. Encountering a snow leopard in the mountains is a rare occurrence. All 32 tribesmen rushed after it, competing with each other.

  "Hiss!" "Hiss!" "Hiss!"...

  While running, the tribesmen shot arrow after arrow, but the snow leopard was extremely agile and easily dodged them, watching as it got farther and farther away.

  "Grab it." Hong Lei shouted hastily.

  "We cant catch up." Teng Qinghus face was also full of anxiety, that snow leopard was too agile.

  At this moment, the only one who can barely keep up with Xue Diao is Teng Qing Shan! Teng Qing Shan was as agile as a spirit monkey at this time, jumping and shuttling at extreme speed, his eyes piercing, staring at the thorny bushes in front of him. The snow leopard that was constantly escaping from the weeds. No matter where the snow leopard escaped to, Teng Qing Shan could always follow closely behind.

  "Its time!" Teng Qing Shans eyes lit up, and with a flick of his right hand!

  "Whoosh!" A cold light flashed across the sky in an instant.

  That snow leopard with a somewhat spiritual surname let out a "hiss" and suddenly accelerated again, but it was too late. A flying knife had already been inserted into its hind leg.

  "Good job!" Not far away, Teng Yonglei and others who were chasing after them quickly cheered up. You know, the entire Tengjiazhuang pays an annual fee of only 1,000 taels of silver to the "White Horse Gang", while this sable is worth at least 3,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 300,000 copper coins. Each copper coin can buy a meat bun.

  What a windfall!

  "Want to escape?" Teng Qing Shan made a swift leap, his right hand reaching out to grab.

  "Hiss——" The snow leopard suddenly turned around and bit down, its sharp teeth, like saw blades, fully capable of biting through swords.

  Hong Qing Shan flipped his palm and easily dodged the bite, then directly slapped it on the snow leopards head.

  The snow leopards mouth corner oozed blood threads, and it fell down weakly.

  He pulled out the flying knife stuck in the snow leopards leg, and Teng Qing Shan grabbed the snow leopard, stood up straight, and couldnt help but laugh.

  "Haha...... Qing Shan, well done." The people of the other tribes had already arrived, each and every one of them staring at the beautiful snow leopard, their faces all revealing excited smiles.
