Climbing the Mountain Again

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, four days had gone by.

Chen Xuan still hadn't gone anywhere during these four days, which undoubtedly made Chen San Ye even more anxious.

However, Chen Xuan paid no mind to this.

He continued to practice archery in an orderly manner. For him, hunting a fierce tiger could be done at any time. With the effect of his Conceptual Ability and his current archery skills, it was enough to guarantee success without fail.

Since the Overlord Blade Martial Hall required seven more days, he naturally had to time it precisely.

And when the fifth day arrived.

Chen Xuan picked up his bow and arrow again, and vaguely felt something different.

His gaze subconsciously looked forward. The black dot he had blackened with charcoal, no thicker than a thumb, seemed to be infinitely magnified in his eyes at this moment.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something.

Subconsciously looking up, high in the sky, a flock of birds was flying by. As winter approached, they were clearly planning to fly south for the winter.

Due to the distance in altitude, Chen Xuan had been helpless against these birds in the past.

Even holding his Iron Draw Bow, it was difficult to hunt them.

But at this moment, when he saw that flock of birds, Chen Xuan felt a certain sensation in his heart for some unknown reason.

That was, he could shoot them down.

With a thought in his heart, without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xuan drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

The birds rapidly expanded in his vision.

He slightly adjusted his breathing. When the size of the birds expanded to a certain extent, the arrow in Chen Xuan's hand instantly left the bowstring.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air, instantly covering a distance of several hundred meters.

However, even with the Iron Draw Bow, under the immense resistance of gravity, it only flew rapidly for a few hundred meters before slowing down, and the arrow began to fall in an arc.

He didn't know if it was a coincidence.

The direction the arrow fell, it happened to strike one of the birds.

"Pfft!"

The remaining force on the arrow instantly pierced its neck, and its body plummeted downwards.

"Hoo!"

Looking at the falling bird, Chen Xuan exhaled a breath of stale air, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

He had achieved mastery.

Even without verification through his Conceptual Ability, at this moment, he was certain that his archery skills had reached mastery.

With a smile spreading, his figure quickly walked towards where the bird had fallen.

He picked up the fallen bird.

Although there was no shortage of food at home now, it still couldn't be wasted.

His figure returned.

Chen Xuan tidied up and immediately looked towards the Back Mountain.

A thought stirred in his heart.

New text immediately appeared.

Target: Hunt a Tiger and Leopard and return safely (To be confirmed)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Route 1: Five thousand meters to the right of the Big Poplar Tree, there is a valley. A fierce tiger will appear at noon tomorrow. Complete the hunt within half an hour and leave quickly. Descend the mountain before dark and do not go deep into the Jungle."

"Route 2: Seven thousand two hundred meters in front of the Big Locust Tree, a leopard will hunt in the evening. Arrive before evening and return before dark."

"Route 3: Where the wild chicken is located...!"

Lines of text appeared. When Chen Xuan looked at these words, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

As expected, with the improvement of his archery skills, the difficulty of hunting Tigers and Leopards instantly dropped a level.

Before, in his Conceptual Ability routes, if he wanted to ensure safety while hunting Tigers and Leopards, he needed to make some other preparations. Only then would it be foolproof.

But at this moment, the Conceptual Ability appeared again, and there were no other options.

This meant that even the system acknowledged that he now had the ability to kill Tigers and Leopards completely unharmed.

If such a result didn't make him smile.

"Tomorrow!"

He whispered softly, and Chen Xuan's gaze once again looked at the Back Mountain.

Then he stepped into the main hall.

Dinner.

The family of three sat together to eat again.

"Mother, let's leave the day after tomorrow!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at his mother, Zhang Chunhua, seriously.

"Leave?"

Zhang Chunhua was stunned and couldn't help but stop eating.

"Yes, leave. I'm almost ready. Let's go into the city the day after tomorrow. After entering the city, maybe we can not only find Father, but also let Xiao Shitou enter a Martial Hall to practice martial arts. And I can definitely find a better way to make a living in the city. Then I won't have to go hunting in the mountains every day."

Chen Xuan spoke seriously, and his right hand unconsciously stroked his younger brother's head.

He had a plan for his future, and this plan even included his family, not just himself.

Small River Village was ultimately just his starting point, not his destination.

Initially, he had planned to gather enough money in Small River Village before setting off.

But since there were other opportunities, he naturally didn't need to wait.

Especially since it was a new step in the Martial Path, Chen Xuan had always been full of anticipation for the Martial Path of this world.

"That will probably cost a lot of money!"

"No need to be in such a hurry!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zhang Chunhua only reacted after a moment, quickly speaking up.

She was afraid her son was too impatient.

Even if she didn't understand hunting, she knew that being impatient was not a good thing when it came to hunting.

No one knew how terrifying the dangers of the mountain forest truly were.

"Mother, it's almost enough. I already have over thirty taels. One more trip up the mountain tomorrow and it should be enough."

Chen Xuan shook his head and explained softly.

"This!"

Hearing her son's words, Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but facing her son's incredibly determined gaze, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Mother, don't go picking wild vegetables tomorrow. Stay home and pack up. Also, go to the village and borrow a donkey cart. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Facing his mother's hesitation, Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

His words came out, telling his mother about his plan.

Zhang Chunhua listened carefully, finally looking at Chen Xuan, then at her younger son.

Finally, she nodded in silence.

Chen Xuan's words, finding her husband and eldest son, perhaps she was extremely anxious, but compared to Chen Xuan's subsequent words, it seemed insignificant.

Every time Chen Xuan went up the mountain, Zhang Chunhua was on tenterhooks, afraid that Chen Xuan wouldn't come back.

Going into the city would undoubtedly solve this. She believed that with her second son's intelligence, he would definitely be able to find a better livelihood, and once he found a livelihood, he naturally wouldn't need to go up the mountain anymore.

"Your Second Aunt's maternal family has a donkey cart. I'll go to your Second Uncle's house to borrow it tomorrow."

Zhang Chunhua spoke softly, at this moment, she had agreed.

During this period, her son had become extremely decisive.

At this moment, Zhang Chunhua also unconsciously listened to him.

And convincing his mother also made Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
