With a boom, Li Qingshan placed all of the prey before grandpa Zang. "This should be enough to make up for my rations in the village during this period of time!"
There was a series of gulps in the surroundings. In particular, the hunters who had just left the mountain were completely dumbfounded. Their entire group had worked together and prepared meticulously, yet the prey they had hunted was actually less than Li Qingshan alone.
Grandpa Zang discovered that many of the prey did not have any wounds at all. "How did you hunt?"
This was the question that everyone present wanted to ask. Li Qingshan thought about it and replied, "I caught them with my hands!"
Everyone collapsed in laughter, but they could not even bring themselves to question him.
Li Qingshan glanced at the prey the hunters had brought down the mountain. "You've hunted so much already. You're almost catching up to me. No, I need to work harder as well, or I won't be able to win."
Grandpa Zang was unable to explain to him that the prey had to be split among the hunters. On average, each hunter would not even get a single prey. On the first day of hunting, Li Qingshan had basically already won.
Li Qingshan ate a mouthful of food before going back up the mountain.
The hunters returned to the northern mountain in a daze and told him about what had happened in the village.
"How's that possible?"
"You must've been drinking in the village!"
"It's true. There really was this much prey." They explained in a hurry.
"That kid!" Huang Binghu exhaled deeply and called out, "Let's all work harder. Don't fall behind him. If all of us together aren't as good as him alone, then we can all go slit our throats!"
The hunters answered loudly, and their morale skyrocketed.
Huang Binghu silently suppressed his coughing fit. He looked at his palm and saw a patch of dark-red blood.
On the mountain path, a group of people travelled slowly. In the centre was a small sedan chair, carried by four porters and surrounded by over a dozen servants.
A chubby hand lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing a chubby face. He asked, "Advisor, how far are we from Qingyang city?" It was clearly late autumn, but he was still covered in sweat as he sat in the sedan chair.
A butler said, "Sir, it's still far away. It'll be good enough if we can get there tonight."
The fat official put down the curtain of the sedan chair and muttered, "I have great knowledge of managing the affairs of the world, but you actually want me to go to such a remote place to be a county magistrate. The magistrate is really confused."
"Milord, you shouldn't speak carelessly. It wouldn't be good if the prefectural magistrate heard about it."
The Fat Lord snorted twice and said no more.
At this moment, the mountain wind suddenly blew, startling countless forest birds.
"Awooo!" A roar came from the dense forest beside the mountain path.
The sedan chair fell to the ground with a thud, and the fat official's eyes and mouth became crooked. "What, what's going on? Is someone trying to murder me? "
"Si … Sir, it's Old … Tiger!" The advisor fell to the ground and pointed forward with a trembling finger.
A brightly colored ferocious tiger leaped down from the slope and landed on the mountain path. It stared at the palanquin covetously. The word "King" on its forehead looked very majestic.
"Hu, tiger, what, it's a tiger! Quick, someone come and take down this beast for me! "
The advisor was about to cry. "They … they've all run away."
The fat official lifted the curtain of the sedan chair to take a look. As expected, all the bearers, servants, and servants in the surroundings had all run away. When they heard the tiger's roar, they reacted. The working people at the bottom were still very vigilant.
The ancients said, "The mention of a tiger makes one pale." In this era, there wasn't a single commoner who wasn't afraid of tigers. Ferocious tigers eating humans was also a very common thing.
"Advisor, you're really loyal. You didn't let down my great kindness!" The fat official was moved.
The advisor instinctively said, "Thank you for your praise, Sir. Even if this lowly one's body is torn to pieces, it's hard for me to repay you." He cursed in his heart, "F * ck, I … I can't walk!"
"Hold on, I'll go get reinforcements!" The fat official nimbly crawled out of the sedan chair and wanted to escape.
The advisor hugged the fat official's leg. "Sir, don't leave this lowly one behind!"
Seeing this lump of fat, the ferocious tiger's eyes seemed to light up. Just as it was about to pounce, its ears suddenly twitched, and it shrank its body to face the forest.
The vegetation in the forest swayed and rustled. It was getting closer and closer, and its momentum was even greater than the ferocious tiger's appearance Just Now.
"What, what is this?" the advisor mumbled.
A figure leaped out of the forest. It was a youth. His young face couldn't be considered handsome, but it was full of vigor. He landed on the mountain path nimbly. His face was that of a ferocious tiger, and he bared his teeth with a smile. "What a rare and good prey!"
The ferocious tiger seemed to know that the person coming was not easy to deal with. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws to threaten him, but it was useless. Its body shook, and it pounced forward with a roar.
Li Qingshan's foot landed firmly on the ground, and his hands grabbed the tiger's two claws. The tiger's mouth, which was full of fangs, was right in front of him, and a fishy smell hit his face. He shouted in a deep voice, and his vital energy surged. He exerted force in his arms and flipped the ferocious tiger, which weighed several hundred kilograms, onto the ground. He pounced on the tiger's back.
He had never dealt with a tiger before. He had only seen Wu Song fight a tiger in "Water Margin", so he copied him. He grabbed the tiger's back and punched it randomly.
The ferocious tiger roared out in pain and bent its body violently. Li Qingshan was sent flying. He thought, Reality really is different from what's written in books. The true qi in his body sank, and he landed firmly on the ground. He was about to deal with it carefully.
However, the ferocious tiger glanced at him and let out a growl before turning around and fleeing.
The fat official and the advisor were both stunned by what had happened Just Now. Only now did they return to their senses, and they were overjoyed.
"Young hero, warrior, I am the district magistrate of Qingyang. If you chase away this tiger, I will reward you handsomely!"
However, Li Qingshan did not even look at them. He yelled out, "Where do you think you're going?!" He strode over and grabbed the tiger's tail that was like a steel whip. However, the tail was slippery, so it was difficult to grab.
How could Li Qingshan let go of such a great prey before him? He chased after the tiger.
The fat official and the advisor only returned to their senses after quite a while. They looked at one another.
The autumn hunt ended, and the Drawn Reins village was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Li Qingshan returned to the village as well. He was covered in many wounds, such that he seemed to be in a rather sorry shape. However, when everyone saw him, they all revealed expressions of respect. It was not because of his wounds, but because of the prey on his shoulder.
He was carrying an adult tiger on his shoulder.
He had only chased after the tiger for a day and a night in the forest. He had only managed to make it through the endurance granted to him by the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength. If it were not for Little Ann helping to track him at night, he would have almost lost him several times.
However, even Little Ann was unable to approach the king of the mountains. Ferocious tigers possessed an innate dignity that could subdue ghosts. As a matter of fact, tiger daemons that had developed into daemons could even turn the people they ate into daemons.
The children in the village ran around Li Qingshan. Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Huang Binghu personally went out to receive him before declaring him first. No one in the village dared to defy him. Not only were tigers extremely terrifying wild beasts to regular people, but to hunters as well. Regular hunting bows could not kill tigers at all. Instead, it would incite the tiger's ferocity. Using a hunting knife to fight a tiger in close combat would only lead to death.
Li Qingshan had killed the tiger, so he seemed to possess the might of a tiger.
"I don't have anything valuable on me. I'll use this Stone Splitter bow as a reward for the autumn hunt!" Huang Binghu suddenly removed the large bow from his back.
