Chapter 41: Hunting

  The green-haired cat gives birth once a year, in the summer, and by winter, the kittens are already able to survive on their own. Every spring is the mating season for the green-haired cat, and at that time, any place with their footprints in the forest is the most dangerous. The male green-haired cat will attack any living thing that invades its territory and mate!

  So, all experienced old hunters rarely enter the forest in spring. Ahu walked carefully while explaining to Qin Li, then said: "This season is the best time for hunting, male cats will go out to hunt, female cats have just given birth and are very weak. Because they are spiritual animals, they basically won't choose to fight to the death. However, it's also very difficult to shake off their tracks. I remember a few years ago, a group of hunters got green fur cat cubs but didn't shake off the mother cat. As a result, only one person from that group of six escaped the forest alive, and he became half-crippled! Therefore, when seeking survival in the dense forest, you must be extremely cautious!"

  Qin Li nodded, thinking that danger was everywhere, but he also didn't have as little experience as Ah Hu and the others thought. In his youth, Qin Li had lived in the mountains with an old Taoist priest, so his experience of surviving in the wilderness wasn't any less than theirs. However, humility was still necessary, and at least Qin Li's humble and eager-to-learn demeanor made everyone in the team like him very much.

  "Shh!"

  A small thicket of dense shrubs appeared before them, Ah Hu let out a soft whistle and signaled to the crowd to disperse, each being careful, slowly pulling out from his waist a two-foot-long short knife, its blade gleaming brightly, in the dappled sunlight filtering through the thicket, exuding a hint of murderous intent.

  Qin Li followed Ah Hu's gesture, walking behind him with the broken sword in his hand. People did not expect this situation, except for some daggers, there were no extra weapons. Qin Li didn't mind too much either, as the saying goes "the higher the skill, the greater the courage", holding a broken sword, he was still full of confidence.

  "Meow!"

  A shrill cat cry suddenly rang out, and a green light flashed in the air. Then, Li Jian let out a muffled groan from that side, and his shoulder was instantly stained red with blood!

  What a fast attack speed!

  Qin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put away the casualness, finally feeling that the jungle of this world was vastly different from where he used to survive! This little thing looked even more terrifying than lions and tigers!

  "Li Jian, are you alright?" Ah Hu asked anxiously.

  "It's nothing, I dodged quickly, just a superficial wound. Everyone be careful and on guard!" Li Jian replied with an unwavering tone.

  At this time, the green light flashed again, and this time it pounced on Ah Hu. This thing was very spiritual, just pouncing on Li Jian because Li Jian was closest to that bush, now turning towards Ah Hu, because from Ah Hu's body, the female green-haired cat sensed a great danger!

  "Die!"

  A low, muffled roar issued from Ah Hu's throat, and a red glow suddenly flashed across the short knife in his hand. The green-furred cat let out a shrill cry, and a tuft of green fur fell from the air.

  "Don't look into its eyes!" Ah Hu reminded loudly, then with a flick of his short knife, he shouted: "Get closer!"

  Everyone quickly gathered around Ah Hu, back to back, forming a circle. At this moment, the forest became extremely quiet, with only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops and the rustling of leaves.

  Green fluffy cat, has gone missing!

  "This thing is really damn cunning!" He Lao San muttered, holding a long sword in his hand.

  "Qin little brother, I'm leaning against you!" At this time, the step fairy still didn't forget to tease Qin Li with a ambiguous tone.

  "Shut up, be careful, it's coming..." Ah Hu didn't finish his sentence when a green light flashed on the big tree in front of Bu Yunyan and suddenly attacked her!

  "Damn it!" Ah Hu cursed, this thing was too cunning, finding Ah Hu difficult to deal with, and actually turned his gaze towards Bu Yunyan. Before Ah Hu could react, Qin Li clearly saw that the green furry cat's sapphire-like eyes emitted a strange glow, as if flashing brightly!

  At this time, Bu Yunyan suddenly exclaimed: "Not good, I've been hit!"

  Qin Li's reaction was extremely fast, and as the green-furred cat pounced on Bu Yunyan, his body had already moved. At the same time that Bu Yunyan let out a cry of surprise, Qin Li's hand held up a broken sword in front of Bu Yunyan's eyes. A faint purple gas hissed out from the broken sword, and the green-furred cat let out another sharp, mournful cry as it twisted its body in mid-air to dodge Qin Li's attack. Then, staring at Qin Li with its beautiful blue eyes, if the green-furred cat could speak, it would have cursed him, because it discovered that this damned youth had actually closed his eyes.

  Closing his eyes, Qin Li suddenly felt a sense of clarity and openness!

  Although humans have made many remarkable inventions during the long evolution, human qualities are gradually degenerating, especially with over-reliance on eyes, which has caused ears to lose their original sensitivity.

  The two meridians are fully connected, making Qin Li's hearing and smell many times stronger than before! Coupled with the excellent foundation of this body, as well as the nourishment of the innate Purple Qi Technique at all times, Qin Li is now, in terms of martial power, perhaps not yet comparable to a peak Xuan-level warrior. However, in various physical aspects, he is already on par with a Tian-level powerhouse!

  Feeling that the green velvet cat was staring at him, Qin Li's mouth corner rose with a cold smile, and the broken sword in his hand swung horizontally...

  In other people's eyes, it was just a green furry cat attacking Bai Yunyan without success, then pouncing on Qin Li, but after dodging Qin Li's sword once, he... actually charged straight at Qin Li's sword again!

  Apart from Ah Hu, everyone else thought so too.

  Just as the green furry cat was about to collide with Qin Li's sword blade, Qin Li's wrist suddenly moved slightly, and what was originally a blade facing the green furry cat became a flat surface.

  Bang!

  Ahh-ooo!

  The green fluffy cat let out a painful and mournful cry, its body thudded to the ground with a loud noise, and it immediately fainted.

  All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before everyone could react, the fight was already over. Stepping Clouds and Smoke from the other side sat on the ground with a thud, dazed and confused, shaking his head, eyes tightly shut, muttering: "Damn it, why isn't it good yet? Heaven, what am I seeing? It's all so chaotic, too dizzy... Quick, who knocked me out..."

  No one paid attention to her, because everyone's eyes were on the green fluffy cat that had fallen into a coma on the ground! Then again looked at Qin Li's eyes, full of admiration!

  "Hey, after all these years, I finally caught a big cat! Tsk tsk, the fur is much better than those domesticated ones!" He Lao San squatted down and gently stroked the smooth and shiny long hair on the green fur cat's body, sighing: "Unfortunately, adult green fur cats can't be tamed, it's a pity to kill it, but releasing it..."

  "Tie it up and leave it, someone will like it!" Li Jian said calmly as he tore open his clothes and poured the golden ointment on himself.

  "Let's take out the cubs first."

  Ah Hu said, and then crawled into the bush, just as a group of people's voices came from the distant forest. Ah Hu was startled, and quickly picked up his pace, crawling into the bush and pulling out a green cat with fur bigger than his palm, saying in a low voice: "Let's go!"
