Chapter 1: Thunderbolt (Part 1)

  Hu Cangya said: "A Feng, it's dug out, what else do we need to do?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "No need, it's fine like this. You all retreat first and leave the ones who came here at the beginning to go up the tree."

  Hu Cangying ordered a few words, and the large group of hunters retreated. Hu Cangying did not leave, he said: "I will also go up the tree." The old man was still worried.

  Hiding in the giant tree, basically not very dangerous, Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Good, everyone go up the tree, once the cow herd comes over, pay attention to hug the tree tightly, if you fall down, it will be a big deal."

  Ke Dashi said, "A Feng, what are you going to do?" He couldn't understand what Lei Xingfeng wanted to do either. This was no surprise, as the hunters from Hu Yanbao were at most familiar with Bai Jiazhai, and their knowledge and experience were extremely lacking. Their skills were all passed down from their elders or self-taught, how could they compare to the vast amount of knowledge Lei Xingfeng had obtained from his past life's information explosion?

  Lei Xingfeng chuckled and said, "Everyone must not get down from the tree, haha, let's give everyone a lively show." He unfastened the black bow from his back, tightened the bowstring, this time he brought thirty specially made arrows, enough for him to use.

  Kuo Taishan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and climbed up a giant tree, saying: "A Feng, you be careful yourself."

  Lei Xingfeng swung his black bow and headed towards the prairie, instantly shocking everyone. No one dared to enter the prairie, but soon they relaxed because they could clearly see that Lei Xingfeng had not actually entered the prairie, but was hiding in a thicket of low trees at the edge of the prairie.

  On the giant tree, people can clearly see the cattle moving slowly.

  Each herd of wild cattle has at least 40 or 50 heads, and some have several hundred. They leisurely eat the green grass, and some on the edge eat the tender leaves of the shrubs. Each head of wild cattle is enormous, and the hunters in the giant trees are all flushed with excitement, their hearts racing. One head of wild cattle would be enough for a family to spend a stable winter, who wouldn't want to get one?

  From the tree, they could clearly see the herd of cattle and also clearly see the figure of Lei Xingfeng sneaking in the dwarf trees.

  Ke Da Shan clenched his fists and said, "What does Ah Feng want to do?"

  "Who knows," Conan said with a wry smile.

  Suddenly, a hunter whispered: "Not good! Look quickly!"

  The location of these giant trees is quite good, and you can see very far away. In a few hundred meters outside, several figures appear vaguely, Hu Cangya stares at them tightly, after a while, he says in a low voice: "Barbarians! Barbarian hunters! Everyone pay attention to hide... It's bad, who went to inform Ah Feng!"

  "Here I go!"

  A hunter quickly climbed down the tree and sneaked towards where Leixing Peak was, this hunter was small and agile, a famous hunter in Huyue Fort, not to say that he was good at hunting, but rather that he was very good at sneaking and scouting, his speed was extremely fast, within a few minutes he had already snuck up to Leixing Peak's side, the crowd on the tree looked clearly, one by one relaxing.

  Lei Xingfeng and the hunter quickly returned, at this time they absolutely could not startle the cattle.

  Climbing up the giant tree, Lei Xingfeng said: "How can there be barbarians?"

  Hu Cangya's hands were shaking with anger, last time hunting met the Eagle Leader, this time again met the barbarians, this luck was simply bad to the extreme, too unlucky. He said: "Damn...too unlucky, how did the barbarians end up here, it seems there are quite a few of them, A Feng, look over there."

  The barbarian's physique is tall and large, making it difficult to hide in the forest.

  Lei Xingfeng observed carefully for a while before saying: "At least more than ten barbarians."

  Everyone's face turned pale, and if there were more than ten barbarians, it was definitely a large hunting party. With the strength of the barbarians, one could easily take down five or six ordinary hunters. They were the top hunters in the forest.

  Lei Xingfeng also saw the hunter for the first time. Before, he had always lived in Hu Yanbao and never had the opportunity to go out, so of course, he couldn't see the barbarians. However, he didn't know how many stories about the barbarians he had heard, such as the barbarians eating people, being crazy, and being fierce. The hunters naturally feared the barbarians.

  "Hush, hopefully they won't find us..." He suddenly remembered something and said, "Who's going to go back and tell our people to hide well."

  A hunter went off at the sound of it, joking, but the large group of people and horses were still hiding in the dense forest. Once they were discovered by the barbarians, they would become prey and had to hide well.

  Lei Xingfeng furrowed his brow and stared into the distance, saying: "They should also be afraid of the fierce cattle group. Don't they fear being charged by the fierce cattle?"

  Hu Cangya said, "Of course I'm afraid, but the barbarians are incredibly strong and their skin is thick and tough. If we were to be hit by a barbarian bull, we'd probably die instantly, but they might not necessarily die. Their bodies are much stronger than ours, as long as it's not continuous impact and trampling, they have a chance of survival."

  "Hu Da Niu said in a low voice: 'The physical recovery of the barbarians is also much better than ours. I once surrounded and killed a barbarian with more than ten hunters, that guy was beaten by us until he was covered in blood, I don't know how many times I chopped him, but in the end he still managed to escape. Barbarians are extremely difficult to kill.'"

  Many hunters whispered about the ferocity of the barbarians.

  Lei Xingfeng shook his head silently, with the mentality of these hunters, they couldn't even fight against the barbarians, they had already lost heart. This was still the most elite hunter in Hu Yanbao, let alone other hunters, once they encountered the barbarians, they would definitely suffer a great defeat.

  "They're moving! So many people!"

  Lei Xingfeng's eyes were sharper than anyone else, and before he even started practicing, his eyesight was extremely good. After cultivating the Lei Lun force, he could see even further. He silently counted, and soon said: "At least twenty-one barbarians, as for those I didn't see... there should be a few more."

  Hu Cangya took a deep breath, more than 20 barbarians, even if the hunters from Hu Ya Bao came out, would cause huge casualties. No matter what, he couldn't afford to meet these barbarians, even if this hunt was unsuccessful, there would be next time, but how could he face the loss of meeting the barbarians, he didn't dare think about it.

  One after another, the savages jumped down from the trees, with four of them in the forefront and a dozen or so scattered behind, while another group emerged from the trees.

  Lei Xingfeng continued counting: "Six more have come out, and there are two more... Good guy, it's over thirty now..."

  Except for Lei Xingfeng, almost all the hunters' faces turned white, and Ke Dashi was no exception. His face pale, he said: "Could it be that the barbarian tribes are organizing a siege hunt?"

  Hu Cangya smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Dashan, you... should be right."

  This winter was not easy to pass, and the prey in this warm season is generally scarce. If it weren't for this, Tiger Cliff Fortress wouldn't have organized such a large-scale hunt either. Unexpectedly, the barbarians are the same, they usually rarely hunt near human settlements, because once they go too far, they will attract the masters of Baijiazhuang to come and clear them out, they also fear the masters among humans.

  Soon, the barbarians dispersed behind the big tree, and only the four barbarians in front continued to move forward. Each of them held a thick and long steel spear in their hands. With Lei Xingfeng's eyesight, he could guess that the spear was as thick as a small bowl, over three meters long, like a sharpened steel pillar, a very intimidating weapon.

  Apart from the thick steel spear, there was also a giant axe. According to Lei Xingfeng's estimate, that axe head was as big as half a door panel. Seeing the barbarian holding it lightly and effortlessly, Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but whistle in surprise. This was simply too terrifying. No wonder they were called barbarians, it was really frightening.

  Even if Leixing Feng was already a Qianlun Master, when he saw the barbarians, his heart still felt a bit apprehensive. It wasn't an issue of strength, but rather that the appearance of the barbarians was too bizarre.

  In front of the barbarians was a herd of about 70 or 80 wild cows, and it seemed that the barbarians had been eyeing them for some time.

  A barbarian suddenly sprinted forward a few steps, let out a loud roar, and flung out a steel spear as thick as a steel pillar. Then, without looking back at the herd of wild cattle, the four men turned around and fled.

  Moo!

  The steel spear stabbed fiercely into the body of a giant barbarian bull, instantly piercing its internal organs, and the bull shook slightly before falling to the ground with a thud.

  Lei Xingfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and it was only then that he understood why the barbarians dared to hunt the barbarian cows. The skin of the barbarian cow was something that ordinary hunters could not penetrate, but the steel spear of the barbarians easily pierced through, killing one in an instant. This power left Lei Xingfeng's heart racing with fear. He estimated that his own Wheel Power Armor would be unable to withstand it, although he had never tried and naturally did not dare to try.

  The four barbarians ran separately, and Lei Xingfeng was shocked again. At such a distance, he could still hear the thumping footsteps, followed by a loud bellow of a barbarian cow. The herd suddenly went mad and began to charge at the four men. The sound of hooves pounding on the ground was so clear that even Lei Xingfeng, who was far away, could hear it clearly.

  The four barbarians ran separately, and the barbarian cow group also split up. However, the largest stock of barbarian cows was still chasing after the barbarian who threw the steel spear.

  Lei Xingfeng was even more surprised and said: "These barbarians are really clever!"

  "Hu Cangya said: 'Barbarians have always been clever, especially in hunting, they are even more intelligent than us.'"

  The barbarians ran wildly, they knew better than anyone that once knocked down by the fierce bull, the hope of survival was extremely slim.

  The savage who had just killed a wild cow ran hundreds of meters, with the wild cows behind him less than ten meters away. Suddenly, he leapt up and grabbed a hanging tree branch with his clumsy body, swinging himself up to climb the tree nimbly. The wild cows behind him didn't have time to stop, nor would they stop, and they charged straight past in a direct collision.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Fierce bulls repeatedly collided with the giant tree, and Leixing Peak was visible in the distance. The giant tree could be seen swaying violently, even though it was thick and sturdy, but the bull's strength still shook it. Countless trunks were broken off, and those trees that were as thick as a man's hug couldn't withstand the impact of the fierce bulls at all.

  The sound of cracking and crashing filled the air, followed by the snapping and toppling of trees. Except for a few giant trees, almost nothing could withstand the impact of the raging bulls, but their charging speed also slowed down at the same time.

  At the sound of a shout, the barbarians on and behind the tree immediately took action.
