Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  Having cultivated the Thunder Wheel Technique, does one have to kill people? This point left Lei Xingfeng quite perplexed.

  The old man said, "Raijinriki is violent and can kill people with a sense of relief. Those who cultivate Raijinriki... will have many enemies. Hmm, of course, you can also use other ways to vent your emotions, as long as you can eliminate the disadvantages brought by cultivating Raijinriki, any method is fine. This is also one of the major drawbacks of cultivating Raijinriki."

  Lei Xingfeng had only cultivated the power of more than 40 Lei Lun, so the power of Lei Lun had little effect on him. Once he cultivated the power of a hundred lun, its effect would gradually appear.

  The old man said: "Killing people in front of the power of the hundred wheels, hehe, has a great benefit for you to control the power of the thunder wheel."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't understand at all, but he didn't resist either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed people decisively in the wilderness. This was also due to the influence of the Hu Yanbao people for a long time. He had seen too many hunters die at the hands of the Eagle Hunters, and the son of Qing Auntie, who had given him the tough cowhide last time, had also died at the hands of the Eagle Hunters. So he killed without any psychological burden.

  Even if he couldn't understand, Lei Xingfeng accepted everything. In this world, the moral standards of his past life were no longer applicable.

  He said, "Ah-yeh, this time I hunted two wild cows, but unfortunately met the eagle-headed hunters and left most of the meat in the tree house. I don't know if there's still a chance to get it back. I brought back an intact wild cow skin and horns, as well as quite a bit of meat. Uncle Ke and the others took good care of me, giving me most of it."

  The old man said indifferently, "As long as you have enough to eat, your current task is not to hunt for much, but to seize the time to cultivate. When you reach the power of a hundred wheels, even in cold seasons, you can still go out and hunt."

  "Lei Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise: "Winter hunting? That will freeze people to death!""

  The old man said: "You are no longer an ordinary person. Once you cultivate the power of the Thunder Wheel, you will be more powerful than all ordinary people and cannot be measured by your previous notions!"

  "Alright, I'm still not used to it."

  The old man burst out laughing and said: "You'll get used to it slowly, seize the time to cultivate."

  Lei Xingyao came back from outside the door, holding a small basket in her hand, filled with many wild vegetables. Every year, she would go to pick a lot of wild vegetables, not only for eating but also for drying, until winter when they could be eaten. She saw several large backpacks and knew that her brother had returned. Excitedly, she rushed into the room and threw herself into Lei Xingfeng's arms. It had only been two days since they last met, but she was already very unaccustomed to it. "Brother!"

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and hugged her, saying: "Going to pick wild vegetables again, don't need too much this year, I'll bring back a lot of meat."

  Lei Xingyao said, "I like to eat wild vegetables." As she spoke, she took out a handful of small red fruits from Lei Xingfeng's arms and said, "I'll go sort them out. We picked quite a few today, I'll hang them outside to dry!" The small red fruits were similar to hawthorns, which could be stored for a long time after being dried in the sun. When cooked with meat, they made it incredibly tender and flavorful, making them a popular seasoning. As soon as this season arrived, almost all women and children would go out to pick some.

  The little girl was very diligent, hanging strings of small red fruits on the rope to dry in the sun. After finishing, she went to sort out the barbarian beef brought back by Lei Xingfeng, all hung under the eaves to air-dry, which is the staple food for winter.

  Looking at the little girl who was busy like a small bee, Leixingfeng couldn't help but sigh. A six-year-old girl had already started taking care of the whole family. Fortunately, people in this world were extremely physically fit and had great strength. Even though the little girl was only six years old, she could lift 50-60 kilograms as if it were a toy, without any effort at all.

  Less than an hour after arriving home, Ke Da Shan and two others came knocking on the door.

  Lei Xingfeng asked strangely: "Uncle Ke, is there something?"

  Ko Da Shan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really are resting at home? Come with us back, there's still so much meat in the treehouse, if we don't transport it back, it would be such a waste."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Didn't you say someone invaded Eagle's territory?"

  "Even if they invade, we still need to prepare food for winter, otherwise... what can be done?"

  The old man said, "A Feng, go ahead, there's me and Yao Yao at home, don't worry." He also knew that once winter arrived, food would be a big problem. In the past, they had relied on the two children to find food, going hungry one day and full the next. He didn't want the children to starve either, but his injury required rest and he absolutely couldn't go hunting. If his condition worsened, it would be all over. How could he possibly leave the two children behind?

  "Good!" said Leixing Peak. The four of them each carried a large empty backpack and walked out together.

  He instructed Yaya a few words, and although the little girl was reluctant to part with him, she also knew that her brother was doing it for their winter food. She obediently waved goodbye, and Ke Daxian sighed: "My daughter is not as well-behaved as Yaya, all she knows how to do is eat, and she's almost lazy to death."

  Kong Nanshan Road: "Thanks to you, this diligent old father, your daughter is enjoying blessings."

  Lei Xingfeng didn't want to say more. In the past, he had no ability, but now as long as he worked hard a bit, he believed in himself and had the ability to provide warmth and food for his grandfather and little sister.

  ……

  The four of them rushed to the treehouse in one breath, and it was already dark. This journey was almost a mad dash, they knew that if they were still on the road after dark, it would be too dangerous.

  Several of the traps Conan set up in the trees were triggered, and a few wild beasts that tried to get meat from the treehouse got hurt badly. Fortunately, there was no loss of the venison in the treehouse, and they returned quickly; if they had spent the night, probably not much would have been left.

  Ke Dashi said, "Nan Shan, Ke Shi, go and re-lay the traps. Ah Feng, you come and keep watch." He had already discovered that Lei Xingfeng was sharp-eared and keen-eyed, a good hand at scouting and keeping guard.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "I'll go up there."

  "If anything is found, whistle once."

  Lei Xingfeng quickly climbed to the branch of the tree where he had practiced last night, sat down and began to practice. He knew in his heart that there should be no danger at this time, so he seized the opportunity to practice and strive to reach the power of a hundred wheels as soon as possible. This was very important for him, because of an old man's words: once you have the power of a hundred wheels, you can hunt in winter.

  Nothing happened all night.

  The next morning, just as Ke Dashi and his men were sorting out the remaining wild cattle meat, another hunting team arrived. They were also a hunting team from Hu Yanbao, with a total of seven people. Under Ke Dashi's guidance, they came to the tree house, and suddenly, the small tree house was crowded with people. Their prey was not much, compared to Ke Dashi and his men, this small hunting team had worse luck and strength, they only hunted some small animals like wild chickens and rabbits.

  Wild chickens and rabbits, in the eyes of people in this world, can't even be considered staple food. An ordinary person can easily eat three or four wild chickens in one meal, which is not enough to eat at all, and it's completely different from eating barbarian beef. Only those who can hunt large animals are considered qualified hunters.

  Looking at the tree house full of wild cattle meat, all seven people in the hunting team were envious and jealous. Hu Daniu, who was in charge, said: "Heavens, you actually hit a wild cattle! Dashan, how did you guys do it?"

  Ke Dashi burst out laughing and said: "Old Hu, it's not one head, but two heads of fierce cattle!"

  The sound of gasps filled the air, and the eyes of these seven people looking at Ke Da Shan changed. Jokingly, if they could hunt down some wild cows, not too many, just a few heads would be enough to safely get through the cold season. As long as they hunted some small animals, it would be enough to make a living. What's more important than safely getting through the cold season? For hunters in this world, having enough food is a happy thing.

  Hú Dà Niú, although he had his doubts, saw so much wild cattle meat with his own eyes and it didn't seem fake. He laughed: "Hehe, Dashan, you guys hunted them yourselves? This thing... isn't something a few people can kill... Ah, right, where are the horns and hide?"

  Kong Nanshan Road: "I've already sent them back once." He said, secretly relieved that they had returned, otherwise the remaining beef would have been cheapened by this group of people.

  Hu Xiaohu is Hu Daniu's cousin, and in Hu Daniu's team, he is the strongest hunter, on par with Ke Nan Shan. He said: "How did you guys take down two wild bulls?" In his heart, he still had some doubts, it was hard not to feel jealous, it was too dazzling, now that they were already in the late stage of hunting, if they couldn't gather enough meat, they would go hungry during the cold season, no one wanted to go hungry.

  Hu Daniu's mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't stop him. This kind of inquiry was quite impolite, as it involved the hunter's secret methods, but he himself also wanted to know.

  Ke Dashi said: "This, hehe, this... Little Tiger, it's every man for himself."

  In the team led by Hu Daniu, there was a middle-aged man with a big beard, whose hair had already turned white. The hunters called him Hu Baotou. He was the last to climb up and found that the atmosphere was not quite right. When he saw Lei Xingfeng, he couldn't help but laugh: "Ah Feng, you're also out hunting, haha, time really flies."

  Lei Xingfeng hastily stepped forward and said, "Old Man Bai, you're in this hunting team?" He had no idea that Hu Baitou was in this hunting team. Hu Baitou had once helped him when he was struggling, sending him some food.

  "Hu Bai Tou said: 'Last time... didn't I say? If you want to join the hunting team, come find me. It turns out you joined Da Shan's team.'"

  Lei Xingfeng said, "Old White Head, I...I don't want to make things difficult for you." He knew that Hu Bai Tou was just an ordinary member of the team and couldn't decide on his own. To bring people in, he needed to get the agreement of most of the team members, which would be very hard for Hu Bai Tou to achieve.

  Hu Yaobao had over a thousand people, although most of them looked familiar to him, Lei Xingfeng only knew a few hundred people, and he couldn't figure out the composition of each hunting team.

  Hu Daniu and Hu Xiaotiger didn't know Lei Xingfeng, but it was natural that they would feel a sense of familiarity when they met.

  Lei Xingfeng has always been grateful to those who have helped him. He pulled Hu Bai Tou aside and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Bai Tou, how long have you been out?"

  Hu Bai Tou let out a sigh and said in a low voice, "This trip has been unlucky from the start. The fierce ones don't dare to move, and there are few small animals. We've been out for three days and only have this little harvest. If we can't hunt down something bigger, this hunting trip will be a failure."

  Lei Xingfeng hesitated for a moment, of course, he heard the implication in Hu Bai's words. He was not really sixteen years old, and his thoughts were much more complicated than these hunters. After all, people here had very little contact with the outside world and still maintained extremely simple customs, and there were very few deceitful things.

  "Old white head, those two fierce oxen were killed by me."

  "What? You're hunting me!"
