Killing Twelve Green Wolves in a Row! The Villagers' Shock

Su Mo left the Guande Martial Arts School and quickly returned to Shuanglin Village.

"Su Mo, weren't you studying at the martial arts school in Qingshan Town? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

"The tuition at the martial arts school is too high, I can't afford it, so I had to come back to hunt and earn money for tuition."

Su Mo's return to the village quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. After all, the news of Su Mo going to the martial arts school in Qingshan Town to train had caused quite a stir in the village before.

Su Mo was already a Martial Artist. Although he wasn't as powerful as Senior Brother Li Xian and the other seniors, he had still resolutely gone to the town to learn martial arts.

People speculated that Su Mo didn't want to fall behind Zhang Qian, Zhang Hai, Li Goudan, and Chen Mazi, the young people in the village. They had all been accepted as disciples by the Black Eagle Sect in Anyuan County Town and were said to become very powerful Martial Artists in the future, unlike ordinary Martial Artists.

Some villagers thought Su Mo's actions were normal, while others felt he was just wasting his time. No matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to Zhang Qian, Li Goudan, and the others.

"The tuition at the martial arts school is too high, so you came back to the village to hunt and earn money?"

"Su Mo, that kid, is too honest, isn't he?"

The villagers were surprised by Su Mo's honesty and straightforwardness. They had only asked casually, and Su Mo had told them the truth. Especially when Su Mo told them that it cost fifteen taels of silver for the apprenticeship fee at the Guande Martial Arts School to be accepted.

Some of the young people in the village who had failed to get into the Black Eagle Sect heard this and immediately lost the idea of learning martial arts. The apprenticeship fee alone was fifteen taels, not to mention the subsequent expenses. They couldn't afford it.

Su Mo wasn't trying to discourage them; it was just that the Guande Martial Arts School was indeed expensive.

Upon returning to the village, Su Mo immediately went to visit Uncle Chen Shan. Uncle Chen Shan was overjoyed to learn of his return and quickly asked Aunt Zhang Cuihua to cook a lot of delicious food.

"Su Mo, no matter what you do, Uncle will support you."

"Take this money. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

During the meal, Uncle Chen Shan, who rarely drank, had two liang of wine and told Su Mo that he supported whatever he wanted to do. He even took out more than two liang of silver for Su Mo to have.

Su Mo refused. He knew that this was money Uncle Chen Shan had earned through hard work hunting in the mountains recently, and he couldn't possibly accept it.

Uncle Chen Shan's family of five, three adults and two children, had many expenses. But when Uncle Chen Shan learned that Su Mo didn't have enough money for martial arts school and had to return to the village to hunt, he immediately took out his savings from hunting without a second word.

This gesture warmed Su Mo's heart.

"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, here's something from your brother."

Uncle Chen Shan's two children were Da Bao, who was eight years old, and Xiao Bao, who was only six. When Su Mo left, he patted their heads and brought a Green Wolf from his cellar for Aunt Cuihua to cook for the two little ones.

He also told Uncle Chen Shan that if they ran out of meat at home, they could just take some from his cellar.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Uncle Chen Shan didn't say much, but he drank another two liang of wine. This kid, he hadn't misjudged him.

Although Su Mo was short on money, earning it was simple. As long as he went hunting in the mountains, he could exchange his prey for money in town.

Su Mo slept soundly at home on his first night back in the village. The next day, he picked up his ancestral hunting knife, slung his Beast Hide Great Bow over his shoulder, and a birchwood quiver at his waist.

Su Mo went hunting in the mountains.

The old hunters in the village knew that the Green Wolves of Green Wolf Ridge would suffer now that Su Mo was back. Because if Su Mo couldn't find other prey in the mountains, he would go to Green Wolf Ridge to hunt Green Wolves.

As expected, when Su Mo returned from hunting in the mountains, some villagers saw him carrying the carcasses of three Green Wolves.

Clearly, Su Mo hadn't encountered any other prey in the mountains and had swept through Green Wolf Ridge.

The facts were just as the villagers had said; Su Mo had indeed done so.

Three Green Wolves, each weighing an average of 130 jin, would fetch thirty wen per jin in town, selling for eleven taels and seven qian.

[One tael equals one thousand wen, one qian equals one hundred wen, ten qian equals one tael, one tael of gold equals ten taels of silver!]

It could be said that Su Mo earned a month's worth of accommodation and medicinal fees for the Guande Martial Arts School in just one day.

Su Mo's ferocity in killing three Green Wolves in one day also left the villagers in awe. After all, those were Green Wolves, truly ferocious beasts, yet Su Mo hunted them with an air of effortless ease.

The hunters knew that this was because Su Mo was a Martial Artist, the most powerful Martial Artist in Shuanglin Village after Li Xian.

This also made some of the young people in the village's thoughts stir again. Was this how powerful one became after becoming a Martial Artist and going hunting in the mountains?

What they didn't know was that it wasn't that the Green Wolves were easy to hunt, but that Su Mo was too strong. Even ordinary Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists might fail when facing Green Wolves, as a moment of carelessness could lead to being surrounded by them.

Although Su Mo had killed the Wolf King of Green Wolf Ridge before, it wasn't long before another Wolf King appeared among the wolf pack. Whenever a hunter or Martial Artist entered Green Wolf Ridge, they would be attacked by the Wolf King and its pack.

Even the Major Leaders of the Black Wind Stockade, who possessed the cultivation of Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists, didn't dare to enter Green Wolf Ridge lightly, fearing encountering the Wolf King.

But Su Mo could enter and leave as he pleased. The Wolf King would tremble upon seeing him and would only hide, afraid of being shot by Su Mo.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. In these few days, Su Mo had hunted a total of twelve Green Wolves. Such a terrifying hunting record completely stunned the old hunters in the village.

"Did you hear? Su Mo hunted twelve Green Wolves in Qingliang Mountain these past few days."

"I didn't just hear about it; I saw it in the mountains. The Wolf King of Green Wolf Ridge usually gathers its pack to attack anyone who enters Green Wolf Ridge, but when Su Mo entered, the Green Wolf King was too scared to come out. I don't know where it ran off to."

"Yes, I was passing by Green Wolf Ridge yesterday and heard screams and howls from inside. When I got closer, I saw Su Mo hunting Green Wolves. Su Mo saw me and even smiled at me. I still get scared thinking about it. Those were wild Green Wolves!"

"But in Su Mo's hands, they were no match, not even for a chicken. He killed them quickly. Because Su Mo killed so ruthlessly, the Green Wolves in Green Wolf Ridge now smell his scent and are so terrified that they flee for their lives."

"That scene was too shocking. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. It's truly unbelievable."

Many hunters in the village were now discussing Su Mo, especially since some claimed to have personally witnessed him hunting Green Wolves in the mountains, causing the wolf pack to cry out in pain and the Wolf King to flee. If the Green Wolves hadn't become smarter and immediately fled upon smelling Su Mo's scent, the outcome might have been different.

Some old hunters speculated that Su Mo could hunt at least twenty Green Wolves.

Just thinking about such hunting achievements made their scalps tingle.
