Cang Mountain is very, very big.
Even the surrounding villages and forts only touch a small part of the area. Usually, the hunters in the nearby villages and forts only go a little deeper. Some warriors who have no property or other sources of income will occasionally go into the mountains to hunt to earn some money.
It's just that they go deeper.
Moreover, the targets chosen are all large beasts, such as giant insects and blind bears.
These two beasts are the overlords of the jungle. They are powerful and agile. Their fur is hard and difficult to deal with. Even ordinary skin-refining warriors have no confidence in one-on-one combat.
Although Gu Sheng's current close-quarter strength is stronger than that of the stone-skinned warrior, he has not yet matured and does not want to risk going deep into Cang Mountain's body.
For the sake of stability, it is better to wait until you can truly become a stone-skinned warrior.
For him, hunting game like wild boar is the best option.
Although the power of the wild boar's charge is great, it is a bit clumsy and has no ability to slap or bite.
Gu Sheng can handle it alone with First-order Penetration's archery skills, and a wild boar weighs two to three hundred kilograms, which he can also carry alone.
The only difficulty is that wild boar traces are not that easy to find.
This is not difficult for Gu Sheng.
He released a message to the hunters and medicine farmers. If anyone could provide detailed traces of the wild boar, he could share 10% of the harvest when the wild boar was hunted.
Anyway, his reputation as a master archer has been spread in the village after what happened last time. After a little inquiry, he found out that there is not much difference between hiding his strength in this aspect, so he simply made the most of his exposed archery level.
As soon as the news was released.
Fortunately for the hunters, although the temptation was there, it was not particularly great. After all, if multiple people cooperated, they could hunt wild boars, and they could get more points, so they just agreed to Gu Sheng with a smile.
But the medicine farmers are excited. They go to the mountains all year round to collect medicines in exchange for money. If they encounter any traces of wild animals, they have to go around. Now, just by providing traces of wild boars, you can get ten or twenty kilograms of meat. What a beautiful thing.
Even if they need to risk going a little deeper, they won't hesitate.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
soon.
Gu Sheng got the news that a drug farmer discovered traces of wild boars.
Early in the morning, Gu Sheng went into the mountains and followed the location provided by the herbalist. He was very patient. As long as he found a wild boar, with his current archery skills, it would not be difficult to find an opportunity to shoot an arrow through the wild boar's heart.
Gu Family Village Zhuangtou.
The pale-haired medicine farmer looked into the distance from time to time. He seemed to have some difficulty moving his left leg and looked anxious.
"If Gu Sheng can't catch the wild boar and your leg is injured again, how will you live in the next days? I told you not to be greedy but you didn't listen..."
A woman next to her was talking incessantly, which made the medicine farmer become more and more anxious.
He has three children at home, and winter has almost exhausted the family to the point of depletion. As soon as the news about Gu Sheng was released, he became interested.
Yesterday, he was lucky enough to see traces of a wild boar, but he actually broke his leg after careful exploration.
Although Gu Sheng is known as a marksman, what if he cannot hit the wild boar?
He felt some regret in his heart, blaming himself for being too anxious. He should have waited for others to verify it before speaking. Now he can only pray that Gu Sheng's archery is really that powerful.
The couple was worried.
The woman said a few more words, but the medicine farmer couldn't help but retort. The two started arguing, and their faces turned red. Villagers passed by one after another and hurriedly persuaded the two to leave.
At this time.
A young figure slowly came into view in the distance. He was tall and straight, carrying a long bow. The most eye-catching thing was that a wild boar weighing two hundred kilograms was carried on his shoulders.
"Then... that's Gu Sheng?"
The drug farmer couple who were arguing were stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.
"A Sheng, you... have you shot a wild boar?"
When Gu Sheng came closer, all the villagers suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment. The middle-aged drug farmer even stuttered when he spoke and kept his hands unsteady.
Seeing such a big wild boar being carried by Gu Sheng at close range, the impact was still very strong, especially when the arrow penetrated from the belly of the wild boar, revealing the arrow with dried blood, which made people feel a chill.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and greeted:
"Thanks to the news about Uncle Tian, otherwise we really wouldn't have found this beast."
The woman next to the medicine farmer's eyes lit up, and she quickly elbowed her man.
Yaonong's breathing became rapid with excitement, and he rubbed his palms repeatedly.
"Then... that... as promised before..."
He stuttered a little and wiped several beads of sweat from his forehead with his hands.
Gu Sheng looked at it and smiled:
"Don't worry, I will send this wild boar over after I finish dealing with it. Uncle Arita, if you are worried, come with me."
"Oh, no, no, no!"
The drug farmer man was glared hard by his mother-in-law, and then he changed his words:
"That's a lot of trouble for you, Asheng. I'm here to help you, here you are!"
Gu Sheng shook his head slightly in his heart, and did not mind the other party's little thought. He was very happy to be able to kill a wild boar. Even if he had to give out 10%, he would still have a rich harvest.
If you can catch one or two wild boars every month, then Gu Sheng will be really happy.
He understands the principle of buying horse bones with thousands of gold. It seems that he has paid 10% of the harvest, but in the end, his hunting efficiency will be higher.
Looking at the backs of Gu Sheng and the drug farmer couple, the remaining villagers looked at each other.
"Gu Sheng is really able to hunt wild boars! If you go into the mountains in the future, you have to pay attention. Don't waste the dozen kilograms of wild boar you picked up for nothing!"
Everyone marveled that Gu Sheng really lived up to its reputation, and their minds gradually became more active.
Gu Sheng's small fenced courtyard is no longer as dilapidated as before.
After starting to practice martial arts.
With a surplus of his own wealth, Gu Sheng simply renovated the house and built a covered shed at the back to prevent others from prying into it.
at this time.
Gu Sheng and Gu Xiaojiang sat opposite each other, eating a simple version of hot pot. Gu Xiaojiang brought some spices and salt, which made the hot pot taste even better.
"A Sheng, your hunting skills are really getting better and better. You can actually hunt wild boars by yourself!"
Gu Xiaojiang couldn't help but praise it while eating.
He also heard about Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng shook his head and smiled:
"Wild boars are actually not difficult to hunt. If you target the vital points and shoot the eyes, head, and heart, many hunters in the village can deal with them. However, they are prone to danger. If they are hit, they will die on the spot with broken bones and tendons."
"I have no choice but to take risks. You know my qualifications are not good. Without the help of Body Tempering Paste, when will I be able to become a stone skin warrior?"
He sighed.
This was half true and half false. In fact, for him, the cost of dealing with the wild boar was an arrow, and there was no danger at all.
The wild boar is clumsy, and First-order Penetration can easily penetrate the hard mixture of mud and bristles on the wild boar, but the arrow can no longer be used after that.
Gu Xiaojiang couldn't help but sigh.
"It's easy to say, but I know how difficult it is. If you become a Blood Refining Realm warrior and combine it with this level of archery, my Gu Family Village's deterrent power will at least double! I really don't know what the clan elders are thinking."
Gu Sheng looked into the distance and said:
"The example of Du Jiangbo is still before us. It's good that the clan elders didn't take back the Body Tempering Paste share they promised me."
"I know, Asheng, you are not that kind of person."
Gu Xiaojiang looked at Gu Sheng sincerely.
Gu Sheng just smiled.
Gu Xiaojiang was still going to speak, but at this moment, a rapid shouting came from outside.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, come out quickly, people from Black Sand Gang are here!"
Gu Sheng and Gu Xiaojiang looked at each other, and both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
The annual payment is here!
