Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)
Lei Xingfeng saw a barbarian wielding a giant axe, with just one swing, blood splattered everywhere, and an enormous cow head was chopped off. He couldn't help but gasp in shock, saying: "My god... this is too exaggerated!"
A few minutes later, only thirty or forty wild cows escaped, and the other half of the wild cows were hunted down by the savages. Seeing the hunters at Tiger Cliff Fort, each and every one of them was grinning from ear to ear, as if everyone thought their teeth hurt. This was just too ruthless - in one attack, they had harvested nearly forty wild cows. Such a harvest really made people envy, jealous and resentful.
Hu Cangya let out a breath of relief and said: "The barbarians have had a good harvest, so... they won't mind us."
There is a local proverb: I am not afraid of many barbarians, but I am afraid of hungry barbarians. A hungry barbarian is the most dangerous.
Lei Xingfeng said, "The barbarians aren't invincible either... I saw two of them get hurt, and one of them should be seriously injured." With his sharp eyesight, he spotted the injured barbarian. One of them was avoiding an attack when a fierce bull suddenly charged at him, pinning him against a giant tree trunk. In an instant, a huge hole opened up in his chest. The bull's horns weren't for show.
Compared with the harvest, this time's barbarian hunting can be said to be extremely successful, nearly forty heads of barbarian cattle, which is a huge fortune.
A group of hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort gazed enviously at the distant barbarians, with Ke Zi saying, "The barbarians are really strong, tsk tsk, they're the real deal when it comes to hunting."
Many hunters discussed it, and their words were not without envy and jealousy.
Only Hu Cangya said, "Alright, no need to envy them, we can also hunt the wild cattle, it's just...we can't act now, wait for that group of barbarians to leave, then we can start."
Lei Xingfeng sighed and said, "We can't hunt today, let's go back. With so many wild cows, just sorting and transporting them will keep those barbarians busy."
"Hu Cangya nodded and said: 'Yes, let's go!'"
A group of hunters got nothing and were scared away by the sudden appearance of barbarians from afar, Leixing Peak was also helpless. He wasn't afraid of the barbarians, but these hunters around him, who would be willing to fight against the barbarians? Without being forced into a life-or-death situation, no one would be foolish enough to provoke the barbarians.
Having experienced the barbarian's attack method, even Leixing Peak would be terrified, that kind of pure power manifestation would absolutely shock him.
The people of Hu Yanbao, the hiding place is still on the giant tree. There are many giant trees here. According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, it will not take thousands of years for them to grow so tall and sturdy. On a giant tree, hundreds of people can climb up, and if they pay attention to concealment, no human shadow can be seen at all.
Even on a giant tree, it's not very safe. Many wild beasts can climb trees, and there are birds of prey in the sky. If you're not careful, you'll be ambushed. So even if you climb a tree, you need to set up many traps and have hunters on guard.
The hunters of Hu Yanbao were discussing the harvest of the barbarians in a low voice. Lei Xingfeng found a giant tree and climbed up, he didn't stay with the other hunters because he needed to cultivate. Now every time he cultivates, his power increases by 40-50 Lei Lun, and his strength also grows bit by bit. After being baptized by thunder and lightning, he has discovered that his cultivation growth rate is very slow, without that rapid surge of excitement. However, he remains very patient.
Grandfather had a saying that Lei Xingfeng always remembered, any cultivation requires great patience and persistent effort. Especially for cultivators in this world, who are restricted by their age, if they cannot improve their strength within the limited years, once their body declines, everything will be too late.
The power of Lei Xingfeng's wheel grew a little bit, and in fact, his cultivation speed was already extremely fast. This was because he had an extra Thunder Seal within him, giving him more capital than other cultivators. Even among those who cultivated only one attribute, it was rare for them to increase their wheel power by more than twenty points per day. Yet Lei Xingfeng had reached forty or even fifty points.
It's not enough to just cultivate the wheel of power, Lei Xingfeng must also temper the newly cultivated thunder wheel power until it fully meets his own requirements.
The sky gradually darkened, and Leixingfeng had finished his cultivation. He quickly left and climbed to the giant tree where the Tiger Cliff Fortress hunters were. He didn't want to spend the night alone on some giant tree. Hu Cangya saw Leixingfeng return and said: "A Feng, you rest first, you don't need to keep watch tonight, hehe, you are our main hunter, tomorrow we'll see your performance."
Lei Xingfeng nodded in agreement, there were enough people, he didn't need to keep watch, he climbed up to where Ke Dashi was and sat down, taking a deep breath, saying: "Uncle Ke, I'm back."
" Hurry up and eat something, it's going to get dark soon. Nan Shan found a hollow tree, you go sleep there after eating."
……
Early in the morning, Lei Xingfeng came out of the tree hole. He didn't sleep well last night. Various wild beasts howled almost all night. As soon as he walked out of the tree hole, he saw Ke Dashi guarding not far away and said, "Uncle Ke, did you sleep well?"
"Damn it... I barely slept all night, those beasts went crazy, howling non-stop."
Lei Xingfeng looked at Ke Dashi's dark circles under his eyes, and had nothing to say. He hadn't slept well either. Ke Nan Shan said: "I rarely see such a lively night scene, it seems like all the wild beasts have gone crazy..."
Hu Cangya climbed up and said, "What's so strange? The barbarians have caught so many wild cows. They must be skinning and boning them at night, harvesting the fresh meat. It's a wonder those beasts don't go mad. The barbarians are in groups, they're not afraid, but they're making such a racket that we can't sleep."
Lei Xingfeng suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, no wonder. Once this bloody smell is emitted, it will indeed attract a large number of wild beasts."
Hu Yi quickly climbed up the giant tree from the ground and soon arrived beside Hu Cang Cliff, saying: "Tribe leader, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Hu Yi hastily said: 'The barbarian troops are marching towards us and have already approached very closely!'"
Hu Cang's face suddenly turned white, he growled: "Quick! Quick hide, no one is allowed to make a sound, all the women get into the tree cave."
There are many tree holes on the giant tree, big and small. The large ones can hide a dozen or so people, while the smaller ones can also accommodate three to five people for several minutes. All the women hid in the tree holes, while the other hunters held their weapons and hid among the dense leaves. No one dared to expose themselves. If they were discovered by the barbarians, it would be big trouble. After all, the hunters were also the hunting targets of the barbarians.
The hunters of Huayanbao all gathered on a giant tree, once discovered, they were better prey than the wild cattle, because the barbarians liked to capture them alive and bring them back, not only could they work, but when food was scarce, these hunters became food.
Savages sometimes prefer to abandon a large game rather than capture a hunter, of course, savages rarely go hunting in human settlements, which would provoke strong backlash and lead to massive retaliation.
Lei Xingfeng had already heard the heavy footsteps and knew that the barbarian was walking with a heavy load.
Don't look at the barbarians being tall and sturdy, but when they walk in the forest, they are silent. However, once they have hunted successfully and are carrying their prey, they no longer care, not only do their footsteps become heavy, but they also occasionally let out a threatening roar, which is to intimidate the surrounding beasts that are ready to ambush them.
The power of the barbarians was indeed abnormal. Leixing Peak saw a barbarian pulling two heads of barbaric cows, step by step forward. There were about thirty-seven or eight barbarians in this group, and forty heads of barbaric cows had not been skinned and deboned, but were being pulled away intact by the barbarians. However, there were wounds on the bodies of the barbaric cows, and a large amount of blood was flowing out, which was no wonder that it attracted so many wild beasts to follow.
There are many beasts in the barbarian's tracking team, among which there is a group of leopards that run on trees and are ready to pounce at any time.
The most critical thing was that the barbarians' route passed directly under the giant tree where the Tiger Bluff people were hiding. As they appeared beneath the tree, every hunter's heart began racing wildly, each one gripping their weapons tightly and praying in their hearts that the barbarians would pass by smoothly without discovering them.
It's often the case that what you fear is what happens, and indeed the barbarians didn't notice the hunter in the giant tree, but the beasts following behind, especially those big leopards, did discover the hunter in the tree.
Several leopards pounced directly on them.
Hu Cangya's eyes turned black, he was extremely angry and furious, his hands and feet were icy cold, his face turned pale green, he knew he was done for, that group of leopards had at least twenty or thirty.
Beasts are also masters of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They dare not attack savages, but when they discover hunters, they become excited immediately. They don't care what their prey is, as long as it's easy to hunt, they won't let it go.
Lei Xingfeng's face didn't look good either. He was the main hunter and had a heavy responsibility for the safety and command of the hunting team.
Such a big movement, the barbarians can't be deceived, and in an instant, several barbarians' eyes are fixed on the giant tree, and soon they discover the hunter on the giant tree. It's already impossible to hide, and the fight with the leopard immediately exposes the hunter's figure.
At this point, nothing else matters, the most important thing is not to mess up. If the hunters themselves get messed up, then death is not far away.
Lei Xingfeng shouted: "One part of the people block the leopard, others... follow me to kill the barbarians!" There was no way not to kill, the barbarians saw the hunters, just like a lustful ghost seeing a beauty, a starving ghost seeing meat, they would pounce without hesitation.
As expected, when the barbarians saw clearly the people on the giant tree, one by one they revealed their sharp teeth and made a hissing sound. The sound was so loud that even the women hiding in the tree holes were frightened and trembling with fear.
A barbarian relaxed his grip on the chain holding the barbarous cow, reached back and pulled out a short spear from behind him. The weapons of the barbarians were similar to those of hunters, but differed in that they were larger and thicker. Suddenly, the barbarian let out a loud roar and threw the short spear with all his might.
