Equipment Acquired

In the Jungle.

Chen Xuan's figure was crawling, the bow and arrow in his hand aimed at a large black shadow rooting around in front of him. It was clearly a Wild Boar.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air, instantly covering a distance of dozens of steps, and in a flash, it embedded itself in the Wild Boar's pupil.

"Oww!"

A mournful cry echoed through the Jungle.

Chen Xuan didn't hesitate at all, quickly drawing and nocking another arrow.

In an instant, two more arrows shot out, piercing the air.

Instantly, two arrows were lodged in the Wild Boar's wide-open mouth, instantly piercing its head.

The scream also stopped abruptly, and the massive body crashed down with a thud.

"Whew!"

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at the long bow in his hand, then at the arrow he had nocked, and he couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.

Seven days ago, when he had hunted his third Wild Boar, Chen San Ye had directly gifted him an Iron Draw Bow from his home. Compared to the simple bows and arrows he had made, even the subsequent composite bow, this Iron Draw Bow was undoubtedly more lethal. Even with his Skin Refining completed body, drawing it felt a little strenuous.

And its lethality was even more terrifying. Coupled with the iron arrowhead, it was enough to easily pierce the Wild Boar's tough hide from three to four hundred steps away.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of him hunting Wild Boars.

Originally, it would take a considerable amount of time for the system to provide enough hunting opportunities, but now he could even easily hunt Wild Boars every day.

If it weren't for the consideration that this was too astonishing, and the feeling of unease that always lingered in the Jungle, making him dare not be too reckless, otherwise, in this month's time, he would have been able to hunt dozens of Wild Boars.

After all, in this primitive Jungle, Wild Boars have very few natural predators, and their numbers are not small. Let alone twenty or thirty, even hundreds of them exist in this Jungle.

Shaking his head, his thoughts flowed, and he glanced at his Conceptual Ability.

Chen Xuan no longer hesitated, quickly stepping forward to tie the Wild Boar onto his cart, and then, following the system's prompt, headed down the mountain.

An hour later.

His figure arrived at the foot of the mountain, undoubtedly attracting the attention of the villagers once again.

"Er Gou, you're amazing!"

"Yeah, Er Gou, this is the seventh Wild Boar you've hunted, right!"

"Yeah, how much silver has Er Gou exchanged for this?"

"Let me calculate, five taels the first time, four taels the second time, four taels and five mace the third time, six taels the fourth time, three taels the fifth time, five taels the sixth time, twenty-seven taels and five mace!"

"Hiss, twenty-seven taels!"

"This, this!"

Figures among the villagers were talking, and when someone calculated the silver Chen Xuan had exchanged at Chen San Ye's place, they couldn't help but gasp.

Twenty-seven taels and five mace, this amount of silver was an astronomical figure for ninety-nine percent of the villagers in Small River Village.

Many villagers had never seen so much money.

This undoubtedly caused the eyes of many villagers to gleam, and their gazes towards the Back Mountain were filled with a fervent look.

However, it was clear that Chen Xuan didn't pay any attention to this.

Wealth moves hearts. Chen Xuan knew with his toes that Chen San Ye gave him this silver to encourage the villagers to go hunting in the mountains.

To obtain more fierce beasts.

But how easy was it to hunt fierce beasts in the mountains?

To put it bluntly, even he, if he didn't use his Conceptual Ability, would likely go and never return if he went hunting in the mountains with his current strength.

This wasn't him being alarmist.

It was his feeling after surviving these hunts by relying on the system.

This result was absolutely not exaggerated in any way.

The Jungle was also more dangerous than anyone imagined. It wasn't just monsters like that Giant Python; Chen Xuan even suspected that the strange thing in the river might also be in the mountains.

And thinking of that strangeness in the river, even he, who had completed Skin Refining at this moment, couldn't help but feel a shiver run through his body, a bone-chilling coldness.

But looking at these villagers with gleaming eyes, Chen Xuan had no intention of speaking.

Some things were not good to say.

Good words are hard to persuade a damned ghost.

If he told them the mountains were dangerous and told them not to go, the villagers might even think he didn't want everyone to steal his Wild Boars, and might even resent him.

Everyone was an adult and needed to pay the price for their choices.

Thoughts flowing, Chen Xuan dragged the Wild Boar and gradually arrived at Chen San Ye's door.

Chen San Ye appeared at the door with his usual smile. Especially looking at this Wild Boar, which was clearly a size larger, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Er Gou, hahaha, you're truly amazing. This Wild Boar is probably over four hundred catties this time."

"How about ten taels?"

Chen San Ye spoke, waving his hand. Then, a servant quickly came forward with a tray, on which was a small silver ingot.

"Thank you, Third Master!"

Looking at the silver ingot, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile.

This Wild Boar was indeed bigger than before, but he hadn't expected Chen San Ye to give him a ten-tael silver ingot.

"You're welcome. Third Master likes capable people!"

"Oh right, Er Gou, with your ability, you can probably hunt tigers and leopards. If you can bring one back, Third Master can give you this much!"

Chen San Ye said with a smile, his right hand showing five fingers.

Looking at Chen San Ye's five fingers, Chen Xuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Five fingers, that was probably fifty taels.

This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. With this money, it would be basically enough for his family to move to Green Mountain City and settle down.

However, after a moment of excitement, Chen Xuan still shook his head.

"Hahaha, San Ye is joking. Tigers and leopards are not something a young man like me can hunt."

He sighed lightly as he spoke.

Tigers and leopards, especially the tigers and leopards in this world, were simply too dangerous, even with his Conceptual Ability.

"Hahaha, Er Gou, you underestimate yourself too much!"

"Er He, bring me that treasure from my room!"

Chen San Ye laughed and shook his head, then called to the servant beside him.

"Yes!"

The servant beside him quickly responded, and his figure walked into the courtyard.

Chen Xuan was a little confused, but he didn't choose to leave.

A moment later, the servant named Er He walked over, holding a wooden box.

The wooden box was very long, about two meters, and its width reached fifty to sixty centimeters.

Chen San Ye took it and directly handed it to Chen Xuan.

"This is?"

Chen Xuan hesitated, but still subconsciously took the wooden box.

The wooden box felt a little heavy in his hand.

His gaze couldn't help but look at Chen San Ye, Chen Xuan's face full of confusion, not understanding what Chen San Ye meant by giving him this wooden box.
