The Hunter

After resolving his own major problem, Kashius continued on his way in extremely high spirits.

Of course, since Kashius had a sports car, he naturally chose to floor it toward the nearest city.

He really hadn't expected it. He had solved the transformation problem in just one month. Having overwhelming strength really was different. What should have been an extremely difficult task had been finished with ease once it landed in his hands.

This was what it felt like to be strong.

It seemed that later on, Goku only needed a few hours to gather the Dragon Balls. Apparently even Popo could collect them in no more than half a day.

"Who cares about them? I'll be able to do it in the future anyway." At that thought, Kashius couldn't help throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

Before reaching the nearest city, the highway not only twisted and wound, but also cut straight through a stretch of grassland. And on that grassland lived all kinds of animals.

There were adorable herbivores, savage bloodthirsty carnivores, and hunters who made their living by hunting.

Behind a huge boulder, two middle-aged men, a young girl in the prime of her youth, and a slightly immature-looking boy were sitting together, watching a herd of horned cattle not far away and discussing something.

"A-Yong, today is your sixteenth birthday, so today, you must rely on yourself to hunt down prey."

The one speaking was one of the two middle-aged men.

He had a broad back and a powerful waist, with long, well-developed limbs. From the bulging muscles on his body, one could faintly see the explosive strength contained within.

There was also a scar on his face. Though it wasn't very long, judging from the tender, pale skin beside the wound, it was clear that this scar had definitely been made recently.

Together with his rather fierce gaze, it was obvious that this man was definitely no easygoing sort.

"Don't worry, Father. This time, Big Brother will definitely catch good prey."

The one who spoke this time was the only young girl among the four.

She had a delicate oval face and charming phoenix eyes that were alluring without seeming coquettish. Though her skin was not as fair as other girls', it had a healthy wheat-colored glow, and every move she made was filled with a unique charm.

At that moment, the corners of her little mouth were slightly raised, and she looked at the boy beside her with a smile.

"That's right, Big Brother. Don't worry this time. With A-Yong's skills, he'll definitely hunt down fine prey today. You can rest easy."

At this moment, the other middle-aged man spoke.

This man was not as strong as the first. His figure seemed somewhat thin. However, his callus-covered hands clearly showed that this fellow was likewise not someone to be trifled with.

"That's right, Dad. Second Uncle and Fangfang are right. With my skills, catching prey will be a piece of cake."

The slightly immature boy patted his chest, his face full of confidence.

As a son of the grassland, the boy was not only skilled with bow and horse, but also one of the top divine archers in the tribe, deeply loved by many of the tribe's women.

Today was his sixteenth birthday, and also the day he came of age. On this day, he had to personally hunt down prey worthy of his status and bring it back.

It would celebrate the fact that today, he officially entered the ranks of adults.

Because of this, his father, his second uncle, and his younger sister Natashi, known as the foremost flower of the grassland, had specially accompanied him on the hunt.

They planned to witness the moment he captured his prey. Of course, so many people had come together also to prevent any accidents.

"Let's hope so!" the big man silently prayed in his heart.

The big man knew this son of his all too well. Not only was he skilled with bow and horse, his archery was even a few notches better than his own as a father.

However, his temperament was too impatient, too impulsive. He always acted without thinking, and once his blood ran hot, he was prone to doing reckless things. It truly made people unable to feel at ease.

It was precisely because of this that, on this sacred day, he, known as the number one warrior in the tribe, had followed his reckless son step by step on the hunt, afraid that some accident might occur.

"Ah, Father, look behind the horned cattle herd. Are those saber-toothed tigers?"

At this moment, the girl Natashi covered her small mouth and excitedly pointed in a certain direction behind the horned cattle herd.

When the other three heard her, they all looked in the direction Natashi was pointing.

Sure enough, in the grass behind the horned cattle herd, three saber-toothed tigers, each around three or four meters tall, were crouching there.

At this moment, they were watching the horned cattle herd like tigers eyeing their prey, and the sharp long fangs exposed to the air showed that they were ready to hunt at any moment.

"Father, I've decided. It's them! This time, I've decided my prey will be them!"

The boy stuck out his tongue and licked his slightly cracked lips, his face brimming with fighting spirit.

"A-Feng? Have you decided?" The big man seemed to be confirming it as he asked the boy A-Feng once more.

"Father, I've decided. My prey will be them!" A-Feng picked up the bow and arrows beside him and looked toward the saber-toothed tigers, his tone extremely firm.

"Good! In that case, we'll circle around together in a moment. Your second uncle and I will handle the other two saber-toothed tigers, and you can go hunt your prey!"

After thinking it over briefly, the big man made his decision.

"Good, let's do it!"

Everyone expressed no objections and agreed one after another.

And so, the big man took up his bow and arrows, shouldered his quiver, picked up his long spear, and led the group slowly around the horned cattle herd, creeping toward the saber-toothed tigers.

Slowly, slowly, the distance grew shorter and shorter.

When they were about two hundred meters away from the saber-toothed tigers, the three saber-toothed tigers clearly sensed something unusual and all turned to look toward the place where the hunters were.

"Now! Go!"

At that moment, the big man charged in first. He picked up his bow and shot at one of the saber-toothed tigers. Another big man beside him hurriedly followed suit, shooting at another saber-toothed tiger.

As for A-Feng, he ran while firing arrows, every shot aimed at the eyes of the last saber-toothed tiger.

Natashi, meanwhile, retreated at top speed, taking up her bow to provide support from a distance. As a woman, she was not as strong as the men; if a saber-toothed tiger got close, she would be finished. So she did not dare get too near.

When the saber-toothed tigers noticed what was happening, they all flew into a rage and charged at their opponents with incredible speed.

As one of the overlords of the grasslands, their dignity would not be trampled on!

Faced with this scene, none of them were afraid. They retreated while firing arrows as fast as they could.

Soon, one saber-toothed tiger was struck in the thigh, and its advance began to slow.

When A-Feng saw this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He drew three arrows straight from his quiver, then unleashed a "Three-Star Barrage" at the wounded saber-toothed tiger.

A-Feng truly lived up to his title of marksman. The saber-toothed tiger's two eyes were shot blind, and it even took an arrow to the head.

This made the saber-toothed tiger lose its threat for the time being. It began crashing around blindly in all directions.

As for the other two saber-toothed tigers, they had already engaged the other two big men.

The scar-faced big man thrust out with his spear and pierced straight through one of the saber-toothed tigers, then kicked the three-to-four-meter-long beast flying with a vicious stomp.

From this, it was clear that this big man's strength was still quite impressive.

The other big man facing the remaining saber-toothed tiger seemed somewhat weaker. Still, though he could not beat it, he would not lose right away either. He could barely keep holding on.

However, when the saber-toothed tiger fighting him saw its companion killed in an instant, fear immediately gripped it. It spread its limbs, turned, and ran.

When A-Feng saw that, how could he let it go? He hurriedly chased after it. In that direction, there was a road.

"A-Feng, come back!"

Seeing his son recklessly chase after it again, the big man quickly shouted.

"Second Brother, go finish off the blind saber-toothed tiger. I'll follow him and take a look."

After calling out to his younger brother, the big man hurriedly chased after him.

At this moment, our protagonist, Kashius, was flooring the accelerator and tearing down the road at full speed.

Wearing sunglasses, listening to music, and enjoying the thrill brought by this high-speed rush, Kashius could not have been happier.

But right then, a massive saber-toothed tiger leaped onto the road. At Kashius's current speed, in just a few seconds, he would definitely crash into it!

"Holy shit!"
