Chapter 1: Thunderbolt (Part 1)

  "Wow, this thing is awesome!" After cultivating the Wheel of Power, he indeed became different, whether it was his strength or his physical toughness, both had been greatly enhanced.

  "Wow, that's amazing! I'll go get the arrows." She ran back to her room and brought out a quiver of ten arrows, also made by the old man. The arrow shafts were made of steel wood, while the arrowheads were hand-forged from pure steel, making them extremely heavy - each arrow weighed about one kilogram, which was not something that could be shot with an ordinary hard bow, only this black bow could handle it.

  Shouldering his quiver and backpack, holding his black bow, Ah Feng bid farewell to the old man and little sister, coming alone to the cliff wall, where Ke Uncle and three others were already waiting.

  It is necessary to store enough food before the arrival of winter, and each household in Huyabao has one or two hunters. Some households do not have hunters and rely on planting sweet potatoes and rice. In a warm season, they store a large amount of grain and exchange it for some game, relying on various wild animals within a few hundred miles around Huyabao. Life in Huyabao is not difficult.

  Ke Dashi saw Lei Xingfeng coming over and smiled, "Ah Feng, how is it? Are you scared?" The first time hunting, the old hunter always asks that one sentence.

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Uncle Ke, Uncle Nan Shan, Uncle Shi, I'm not afraid, hehe, from now on, I'll be with everyone together."

  Ke Dashi, Ke Nanshan, and Ke Shi formed a trio, with a great reputation in Hu Yanbao. The three had almost grown up watching Lei Xingfeng, and they liked him very much. Ke Dashi patted Lei Xingfeng's shoulder and said, "Let's go, this time we won't go far, just operate around Hu Yanbao, see what gains we can get."

  Four people came to the protruding part of the cliff, sat in a small stone fortress, got into a hanging basket, and slowly descended to the bottom of the cliff amidst the sound of wheels.

  Lei Xingfeng had never been outside of Hu Ya Bao before, not because he didn't want to go out, but because children under the age of majority were not allowed to leave Hu Ya Bao. This area was home to various ferocious beasts and barbarian activities, so if a non-adult hunter entered the forest, it would almost be like looking for death.

  Every year, some hunters die in the hunt at Hǔ Yá Bǎo, so hunting teams are very cautious. If they're weak, they only hunt near Hǔ Yá Bǎo. Only exceptionally skilled hunters dare to hunt far away. Since Léi Xīng Fēng has joined, Kē Dà Shān decides to first hunt near Hǔ Yá Bǎo and then decide where to go after testing Léi Xīng Fēng's abilities.

  As a newcomer, Lei Xingfeng had no right to speak, he couldn't say that his strength was strong enough to hunt far away, hunters were very practical, and impractical hunters all died.

  Lei Xingfeng, although a newcomer, has lived in Hu Yanbao for three years, allowing him to see many things. He is not a child and understands more than the people here. He has his own thoughts and his own understanding of the world.

  Kuo Ta-shan had four short steel javelins inserted behind his back, and he was holding a two-foot long mountain-cutting knife, which was used to open the way. Kuo Nan-shan was a robust man, carrying a full-steel long spear, with a longbow and quiver on his back. Kuo Shih, on the other hand, carried a large leather shield made of steel wood at the bottom, with layers of barbarian cowhide and long-haired wild bear skin, which had quite good defensive power. As a small team's defensive hand, Kuo Shih's strength was extremely great, his weapon being a two-and-a-half-foot three-edged steel spear.

  Lei Xingfeng as a pure archer is mainly responsible for long-range attacks. The four-person team has a clear division of labor.

  Kuo Ta-shan led the way, followed closely by Kuo Shih. If any wild beasts appeared, he would take charge of blocking them off in front, while Kuo Nan-shan carried a long spear and brought up the rear with Lei Hsing-feng.

  Lei Xingfeng carried the black bow, in addition to bringing ten specially-made arrows, he also had several ordinary steel-wooden arrows. The arrowheads were just ordinary iron arrowheads and could only shoot ordinary prey, but for those fierce beasts, they were powerless.

  Kuo Da Shan, apart from opening the road, has been paying attention to Lei Xing Feng and occasionally reminds him in a low voice, teaching some basic hunting knowledge. In fact, Lei Xing Feng had already learned relevant knowledge, he just needed to practice it once to quickly get into the role.

  Four people in a row soon disappeared into the endless and boundless primeval forest.

  ……

  Dizzy and disoriented, Lei Xingfeng felt his vision blur after entering the forest.

  It seems that there are animals everywhere, and there is noise everywhere. This is because the ability brought to him by practicing the Thunder Wheel has enhanced his senses of hearing, sight, feeling, and strength in all directions, giving him an extremely chaotic feeling. He hasn't fully adapted to the changes after the comprehensive upgrade yet.

  Each hunting team has its own designated hunting ground, and Ke Da Shan's chosen hunting ground is a pond. Any animal needs to drink water, so the edge of the pond is a good place for hunting. Of course, this place is also extremely dangerous, who knows what kind of fierce beast will run over, some beasts are not something that ordinary hunters can handle.

  This is a kidney-shaped pool, with a large shallow beach, about the size of Leixing Peak's visual measurement, nearly one square kilometer, part of which extends into the forest. When approaching the pool, Leixing Peak was already extremely uneasy, and he clearly felt the dangerous aura in front of him.

  This is one of the best hunting grounds near Huyuebao, and when approaching the pond, Ke Dashan signaled everyone to stop their footsteps. He whispered: "Nanshan, Xiaoshi, A Feng, be on guard, I'll climb the tree..." As he inserted his machete into his waistband, he swiftly climbed up a thick tree trunk with a diameter of several meters, like a monkey.

  Lei Xingfeng held a specially made arrow in his hand, with the other hand holding a black bow on high alert. All around him were dense branches and leaves, making it impossible to see far away. However, relying on the wheel power he had cultivated, he could clearly sense the movements around him. Everything escaped his sharp senses, and he was trying hard to adapt.

  Ke Shi held the shield in front of him, tightly grasping the three-edged steel spear in his hand, tilting his head to listen carefully for any movement ahead. The three men formed a triangular defensive formation, each responsible for their own sector, waiting for news from Ke Da Shan.

  In an instant, Ke Da Shan quietly climbed down from the big tree and whispered: "Follow me!"

  The four of them soon arrived in front of a giant ancient tree. Leixingfeng looked up and exclaimed, "There's a treehouse here?"

  Ke Da Shan nodded and said, "This is a hidden spot. All the hunters who come to hunt here know about this place. Let's go up and rest for a while. It's not time for hunting until evening." He then climbed up first.

  Lei Xingfeng slung his longbow over his back and followed, climbing up.

  The treehouse is more than 20 meters away from the ground, a very high place, and it's unknown who built it. Although simple, it can block wind and rain. The treehouse also extends out a small wooden platform, where you can clearly see the activities of animals by the pond.

  Lei Xingfeng saw a large herd of bison drinking water at a glance and exclaimed: "A herd of bison!"

  Konganshan laughed and said, "Don't even think about it. Even if you're a barbarian, you wouldn't dare mess with such a large group of fierce bulls. Once they go mad, haha, no one dares to block them... As long as you don't leave their charging route, you're dead for sure."

  Lei Xingfeng stared greedily at the herd of wild cattle, and as long as he hunted one head of wild cattle, this trip would be a big harvest. He couldn't help but feel eager to try.

  "Stop dreaming!"

  Lei Xingfeng smiled wryly and said, "Don't you want to hunt a wild ox?"

  "It's impossible, to hunt a wild bull, you need at least fifteen to thirty people, and you have to set traps, the terrain has to be advantageous, most importantly, someone has to lure the wild bull, it's too dangerous, no one will provoke a wild bull unless absolutely necessary."

  Koran Yamato explained, "The hide of the wild aurochs is too thick and tough, making it difficult for weapons to penetrate. There are very few weak points on its body, and even fewer places where you can attack. For example, the eyes of the aurochs are weak points, as well as the lower part of the abdomen, and the middle of the two protruding parts on its back. However, it's hard to hit these spots, so when a small hunting party encounters a herd of wild aurochs, they will usually retreat."

  Lei Xingfeng was skeptical in his heart and tentatively asked: "Isn't it possible to attack from the tree downwards?"

  "Even if you hit a weak point, without sufficient strength, it's still impossible to pierce the bull's hide..."

  Kananshan Dao: "Even if the power can pierce... it's not necessarily a fatal blow, you won't be able to attack for a second time, and that wild bull will already be out of range. Ah Feng, you don't want to hunt down the wild bull, do you? Hehe, having ambition is good, but one must act according to their abilities." The three of them didn't think much of it, thinking that Leixing Feng was overestimating himself.

  Lei Xingfeng no longer explained, but quietly watched the buffalo herd drinking water by the pond.

  "Ah Feng, come and have something to eat, take a rest. This evening we'll go hunting again. We need to build up our spirits and strength, otherwise... it will be very dangerous."

  Lei Xingfeng returned to the treehouse, took out dried meat from his backpack, and ate it bit by bit. After finishing their own food, Ke Dashan lay down, closed his eyes, and meditated. Ke Nan Shan and Ke Shi leaned against the wooden pillar with their eyes closed. Only Lei Xingfeng went back to the wooden platform, still observing the wild cattle herd.

  He still didn't give up and hoped to hunt down a wild ox, he had great confidence in his wheel power, if he could find the opportunity, he would definitely take action without hesitation.

  At this moment, the wild cattle began to move away from the water pond. Leixingfeng looked back at the tree house with great regret in his heart, knowing that there was no chance of attacking. He let out a long sigh and took down the black bow on his back, placing it beside him. In his mind, he thought: "Can only wait until evening to see what can be gained this time."

  Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng found a small group of wild cattle coming in his direction. He immediately became excited and hurried back to the tree house, saying: "A herd of wild cattle is coming! Wake up... A herd of wild cattle is coming!"

  Ko Daishan said lazily, "Nothing's strange about it. A group of fierce cows, at least a dozen or so, you can't deal with them." He didn't even open his eyes.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "How can you know if you don't try? I'll take care of it!"

  Kong Nanshan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, this little guy is indeed impulsive. Alright, let's see how Ah Feng hunts." The three of them got up with smiles on their faces, coming to the platform, sincerely wanting to see how the stubborn child would get into trouble.
