The mountain range to the north of the Su Family Village was one of the branches of the Yuzhou Mountain Range. It was only a few kilometers wide, but it was composed of countless large and small hills. In the summer, the foliage here was luxuriant and the ancient trees towered to the sky. In the cold winter, this place looked desolate.
When Tan Xiu was a child, he followed the adults to the back of the mountain many times, but the number of times he entered the depths of the mountain range was very few. Only a lot of old hunters who made a living by hunting would go deep inside. Su Ben's grandfather used to be an old hunter. Later, when it came to Su Ben's father's generation, he didn't rely on hunting to make a living.
Strange peaks and strange rocks were steep and precipitous.
The four of them searched for several hours in the periphery, but they couldn't find any trace of the leopard fierce beast. Therefore, they climbed over the hill and entered a long valley inside. Tan Xiu only shrunk the range of his spiritual sense to a radius of 50 meters in order to save the effect of his spiritual sense.
"Tan Xiu, we'll have to jump over that mountain stream later. Remember, you must jump with all your strength, else you'll be smashed to pieces once you fall. "Halfway up the mountain, the four of them stopped. Su Ben pointed to the mountain stream gap seven or eight meters away in front of them.
"Don't worry!" Tan Xiu said.
The four of them jumped over the two or three meters wide mountain stream gap with great caution. They rested for ten minutes and then continued to walk inside. The deeper they went, the lower the terrain became. Because this side belonged to the back of the mountain, there was still some snow that had not melted, making it very difficult to walk on the mountain road.
Su Ben looked at the time on his mobile phone. It was 4: 30 in the afternoon, so he stopped and seriously said, "We can only stop here today. The sky will be dark in an hour at most. If we go back too late, I'm afraid we'll encounter danger."
Tan Xiu took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal, so he said, "Let's spend the night in the mountain tonight. We'll find a hidden place to rest after we go inside. Wild beasts come and go frequently at night. We'll have a better chance to find the leopard if we stay in the mountain. "
"This …"
Su Ben and Su Quan looked at each other in dismay and hesitated.
Su Xiangfei calmly said, "Even if we rush back now, we won't be able to return to the foot of the mountain before it gets completely dark. Let's spend the night here! "
Tan Xiu looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry! Who would dare to come to Liangshan without a few tricks? Since I brought you into the mountain, I can guarantee your safety. That leopard was too hateful. If it couldn't be eradicated soon, the villagers in the nearby villages wouldn't be in the mood to celebrate the New Year. If one day it appears outside again, who knows how many more people will die. "
"Alright!"
Su Ben and Su Quan finally nodded.
Half an hour later …
The four of them finally arrived at the bottom of the valley. Looking at the sparkling lake in front of them, Su Ben pointed to the rocks at the foot of the mountain and said, "There's a cave behind here. It's the place where I stayed temporarily when I went hunting with my grandfather. Let's spend the night here. "
Su Quan said with a smile, "I also came here with your grandfather. Back then, the old man brought Shaojiu and roasted chicken. That time … was my first time drinking! It's a pity that we came here in a hurry. Had I known that we would spend the night here, I would have brought some wine and meat. "
A smile flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. He put his hand into his pocket and took out a bottle of liquor from his interspatial ring to conceal it. Then, he said with a smile, "I've already prepared it before coming here."
"You actually have liquor in your pocket?" Su Quan was surprised. "I say, Tan Xiu, you've long made up your mind to spend the night here, haven't you? That's not right. How come your clothes are so big? You can even fit a bottle of liquor? "
"A bottle of liquor isn't big," Tan Xiu said with a faint smile. "My pocket can just fit it. Alright, you guys go to the cave behind the rocks first. I'll take a stroll in the vicinity and bring back some game for you. "
"I'll go with you, Tan Xiu," said Su Ben quickly.
Tan Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "No need. Don't worry, Brother Ben! I'm confident in my own strength. I'm afraid I'll have to take care of you if you come with me. "
Su Ben didn't know Tan Xiu's strength, but he found one thing. After entering the mountain at noon today, Tan Xiu didn't show the slightest trace of exhaustion until now. He didn't even sweat a drop, which made him secretly surprised. It must be noted that he had been working in the security team of the Magnificent Tang Corp for the past six months and had undergone a lot of physical training every day. He thought that his physical fitness was very good, but he secretly compared it with Tan Xiu and found that his body was actually inferior to Tan Xiu's.
"Tan Xiu, you've been smart and cautious since you were a child, so you must pay attention to your safety," said Su Ben in a low voice.
Tan Xiu patted his shoulder and casually picked a direction and walked toward the withered trees. After getting out of the sight of Su Ben and the other two, Tan Xiu's movements suddenly sped up. He shuttled back and forth in the mountainous woods like floating clouds and flowing water. His spiritual sense also began to spread out in a wide range. In just ten minutes, he had observed the area within a radius of seven to eight kilometers. He found that there was no trace of the leopard fierce beast except for some ordinary wild beasts.
"Two pheasants and a hare. That should be enough for the four of us to eat, right?"
Tan Xiu casually put a precious herb into his interspatial ring. Then, he took the prey he caught and rushed toward the rocks not far from the lakeside with satisfaction.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tang Xiu's expression moved as he took a detour to return. A bit of surprise was revealed in his eyes. He suddenly found that the concentration of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the surroundings was a bit stronger. Moreover, the concentration of the spiritual energy was getting thicker along with his footsteps. After walking for nearly a kilometer, the concentration of spiritual energy was already two or three times higher than other places.
"Something's wrong!"
Tan Xiu quickly put the pheasants and the hare into his interspatial ring. After holding the [Blood Drinker Dagger] in his hand, he cautiously observed the surroundings. At the same time, he judged the concentration of spiritual energy and moved toward the place with the highest concentration. He found that he was slowly deviating from the direction of his return and was approaching another mountain in the valley.
Ten minutes later.
Tan Xiu stopped in front of a seven to eight-meter-high stone forest. Although there were a lot of trees growing in the stone forest, because of the lack of dead branches, his visibility was a bit further. However, under the shroud of his spiritual sense, he had already discovered the uniqueness of the stone forest.
"A natural stone array. I really didn't expect there to be a natural stone array here. It's not offensive, so it should be a psychedelic array. "
Tan Xiu observed for two minutes before he resolutely stepped into the stone forest. According to his judgment, he easily reached the central position of the stone forest. At this time, the concentration of spiritual energy here was more than ten times that of other places.
"My luck is good, but unfortunately …"
Tan Xiu looked at the mouth of the spring in front of him that was emitting white smoke with a wry smile on his face. The Spirit Spring was a spring formed by the Spirit Vein and contained a huge amount of spiritual power of the Earth Vein. If a cultivator could cultivate here, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. If he could soak in the Spirit Spring to cultivate, his cultivation speed would definitely be more than a hundred times faster than usual.
He felt that it was a pity that this Spirit Spring was not of much help to him. What he absorbed was star power, and the spiritual power of the Earth Vein could only play a supporting role for him.
Suddenly.
A thought emerged in his mind. When he thought of Su Ben and Su Quan, he immediately made up his mind to impart cultivation techniques to them. Since he had decided to cultivate talents, and they were close to him, he had a good understanding of their character and character. If he could cultivate them in the future, he would have two more arms to help him.
However, Su Xiangfei was also with them.
Tan Xiu was a bit hesitant. Although Su Xiangfei's character had changed, and he had matured a lot after experiencing the upheaval in his family, he was also a lot more stable, and even recognized his familial love, but after all, he and Su Xiangfei …
Tan Xiu pondered for a few minutes and decided to teach Su Xiangfei cultivation techniques. Even if he and Su Xiangfei had a deep grudge, he believed that Su Xiangfei was also a promising talent. He had indeed made Su Xiangfei lose a lot, but as long as he was strong enough and could give him more, he believed that Su Xiangfei would no longer have any evil thoughts towards him.
After making up his mind, Tan Xiu immediately left the stone forest and quickly came to the cave where Su Ben and the other two were hiding. He saw the three people squatting at the entrance of the cave and looking around.
"Fill your stomach first, I will give you a big opportunity later."
Tan Xiu threw two pheasants and a hare in front of the three people and said with a smile.
When the three people saw the pheasants and hare, they immediately looked surprised. They didn't expect that Tan Xiu could really hunt prey in the middle of the night. However, the three people were a bit confused about Tan Xiu's words. "What kind of opportunity are you going to give us, Tan Xiu?" Asked Su Quan.
"Let's get something to eat first," said Tan Xiu.
After saying that, he took out salt and seasonings from his pocket. These things were stored in his interspatial ring. On the way back, he had packed some of them in a small bottle, so it didn't look out of place.
He used dry firewood to make a fire.
Su Ben quickly used the knife he brought to kill the pheasant and the hare, and then cleaned them by the lake. After putting them on the fire, he barbecued them. Almost all the children from the mountain knew how to barbecue game. Soon, two yellow roasted pheasants and a yellow roasted hare were roasted.
"Smells good! It's a pity that the wine is not enough. "
The four people only drank a bit more than one liter of wine. But eating the roasted pheasant and hare made the four people's mouths drip with oil, and their bodies were warm.
After eating.
Su Quan asked again, "Tan Xiu, you don't need to keep us guessing now, do you? Tell us, what big opportunity are you going to give us? "
Tan Xiu shot a deep look at the three people and asked, "Before I tell you, I want to ask you a question. Are you willing to sell your lives to me? "
"We make money from you. We eat and drink with you, so naturally, we'll give our lives to you," said Su Ben without hesitation.
Su Quan hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "We grew up together with bare butts, and we're related to each other. Naturally, we're willing to give our lives to you. Tan Xiu, Big Brother Ben should have the same idea as me. We're all relatives and brothers. As long as you need us, just say the word. "
Tan Xiu nodded without a word and looked at Su Xiangfei.
