Seeing how easily Ye Xuan lifted the Black Cauldron, Shi Linghu couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
Although this Black Cauldron wasn't the heaviest cauldron in their village, it was still at least 5000 jin in weight. Even Shi Linghu, with the help of his bone symbol, could only barely lift it. Moreover, he still needed to use both his arms.
For Ye Xuan to lift it as if it was a brick with one hand, it was something he simply couldn't imagine.
He also didn't expect that Ye Xuan, who didn't look tall and thin, would have such divine strength. It was truly astonishing.
Although Shi Yunfeng's face didn't change at all, when he looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes flickered with radiance. It was clear that he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Although he always believed that Ye Xuan was definitely not ordinary, after so many days, Shi Yunfeng didn't see any traces of cultivation on Ye Xuan's body. But now that he saw such divine strength, Shi Yunfeng was even more certain that Ye Xuan's background was definitely not ordinary.
After seeing Ye Xuan's divine strength, Shi Linghu naturally wouldn't refuse Ye Xuan's request to join the hunting party. After all, the vicious birds and fierce beasts of the wasteland were extremely powerful. If their luck was bad, they might even encounter an Archaic Descendant and be completely annihilated. With such a powerful helper, Shi Linghu was naturally extremely happy.
Of course, the most important thing was that during these past few days, Ye Xuan's attitude towards the villagers was extremely gentle. It was clear that his cultivation was extremely high, but he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance towards the villagers. This also made Shi Linghu, who was secretly observing, feel even more at ease.
Finally, at the entrance of Stone Village, a total of forty able-bodied men and young men gathered together. Under the leadership of the chief, Shi Yunfeng, in front of the willow tree, they earnestly prayed to the village's Guardian Spirit. "Guardian Spirit, please protect our clansmen. Let the children hunt delicious prey and return safely. We will use our devout hearts to worship and worship you for generations to come!"
Ye Xuan was also in the hunting team of more than forty people. Naturally, he also participated in the prayer with the hunting team.
Although the other villagers didn't notice anything, the closer Ye Xuan got to the willow, the more mysterious it seemed. As the villagers prayed, the power of faith emanated from the bodies of the villagers and drifted towards the willow. After the willow absorbed the power of faith from the villagers, its aura became even more ethereal. It was as if the Sanskrit chants of gods and Buddhas were ringing in the air, and it was as if hundreds of millions of believers were praying together.
Moreover, Ye Xuan also discovered that this withered willow was actually gathering bits of worldly essence in all directions, causing the worldly essence here to be very rich. It was a treasured land for cultivation. Even if ordinary people just stayed under this withered willow and did nothing, they would still be able to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
These were all discovered by relying on his powerful spiritual awareness. The other villagers were still completely unaware. In their eyes, even though this withered willow was called their Guardian Spirit, it had never shown any miracles, and it had never accepted their offerings. A few of the younger villagers in the village had already begun to waver in their hearts towards this withered willow.
Just like this, after the sacrificial prayer, the 40 strongest villagers brought their giant bows, broadswords, and other weapons out of Stone Village and walked towards the Great Wasteland.
Ye Xuan was also a member of this hunting team of more than forty people. He was given a very thick and large bone stick.
This bone club was left behind by an unknown beast. It was nearly three meters long, half a meter thick, and weighed close to two hundred pounds. It was polished by the villagers to look like a wolf tooth club. The bone was smooth, and wrapped in animal skin, it looked extremely rough.
Originally, there were a few villagers who were a bit dissatisfied with Ye Xuan joining the hunting group. However, after seeing him easily lift the bone club with one hand, they all swallowed their words.
It must be known that in the entire Stone Village, other than the old chief, Shi Linghu, and a few others, there were very few people who could lift the bone club with one hand. In Ye Xuan's hands, this two hundred pound bone club seemed like an ordinary wooden club.
The villagers weren't stupid. There were ferocious birds and huge beasts everywhere in the Great Wasteland. An extra person naturally meant an extra bit of strength. Who knows when this strength could save them.
As soon as they walked out of the Great Wasteland, all of the villagers' faces became extremely serious. Each and every one of their eyes looked in all directions, and their ears listened in all directions.
They didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because even a moment of relaxation could be exchanged for a life and death crisis. This was the experience of their ancestors and themselves, who had walked through the Great Wasteland for many years with their blood and lives.
Because this was the first time he entered the mountains with a hunting group, Ye Xuan was arranged to be at the very back of the group. He followed a few relatively inexperienced youths to stand guard together.
From this, Ye Xuan developed an extremely good impression of the villagers. After all, his current identity was that of an outsider. This type of hunting in the Great Wasteland was clearly extremely dangerous. If there were some people with bad intentions, they would definitely want to use someone as cannon fodder. With cannon fodder, they would naturally be a bit safer.
However, the people of Stone Village didn't have the slightest bit of these kinds of thoughts. Not only that, the youths walking at the back would occasionally remind him which plants were dangerous, and which areas were occupied by vicious beasts.
Along the way, Ye Xuan saw giant trees that were close to a hundred meters tall, as well as old vines that were twenty meters thick. Among them, there were even giant pythons that were tens of meters long and had silver scales all over their bodies. There were also rainbow-colored spiders that were as big as houses, and there were also golden eagles that covered the sky and covered the earth. It was a primordial and boundless scene.
Along the way, the villagers also hunted a few prey, but they were mostly small game like Black Scale Chickens or Gray Deer. They were simply not enough food for the people of Stone Village.
"Be careful, up ahead is where Tree Pigs often appear. Today, let's see if we can catch a few Tree Pigs and bring them back." After crossing over two large mountains, they arrived at a small hilltop. Shi Linghu made a "be careful" gesture to the group behind him. Soon after, the people in front slowly and carefully made their way towards the small hilltop.
After these few days of familiarizing themselves, Ye Xuan already knew that these Tree Pigs were actually this world's wild boars. However, they were different from ordinary wild boars. These Tree Pigs were twice or even three times larger than normal boars. Ordinary Tree Pigs weighed four to five hundred kilograms. If they were to collide with them, ordinary people simply wouldn't be able to survive. They were extremely dangerous creatures.
The group of people carefully walked into the valley. Following the weeds, they could see dozens of Tree Pigs on the flat ground at the top of the small hilltop. They were nearly two to three meters long, ash-colored wild boars that were foraging for food in the valley.
Shi Linghu observed for a moment and made a few gestures towards the villagers behind him. Soon after, more than ten villagers split up and went to outflank the Tree Pigs from both sides. Meanwhile, several robust men wielding huge bows picked up arrows that were as thick as an infant's arm and began to take aim.
"Release!"
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! ~ ~ ~
Following Shi Linghu's order, several robust men wielding huge bows shot the arrows in their hands. Immediately, blood splashed out from the necks and heads of several Tree Pigs.
Ao! Ao! ~ ~ ~
After the Tree Pigs were attacked, they immediately became frightened. Dozens of Tree Pigs roared and fled in all directions.
"Kill! ~ ~"
At this time, following Shi Linghu's angry roar, the villagers who were previously outflanking brandished their weapons and charged towards the fleeing Tree Pigs.
"Hou! Hou! Hou! ~ ~ ~ "
Just as the villagers were chasing the Tree Boars, several angry roars suddenly came from the other side of the mountain. Then, a dozen or so lizard-like beasts appeared. They were three to four meters long and had sharp claws on all four limbs.
As soon as these vicious beasts appeared, they pounced forward with extreme speed and ferociously pounced on the fleeing Tree Boar. They opened their mouths and bit down, directly tearing off a meter-long chunk of flesh from the Tree Boar's body. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Not good, it's an Earth Dragon. Quick, leave this place!" Seeing these lizard-like vicious beasts, Shi Linghu's expression greatly changed. He immediately shouted towards the villagers who were chasing after the Tree Pigs. He didn't even care about the Tree Pigs that had already been killed.
Although Shi Linghu and the others had previously entered the mountains to hunt Earth Dragons, it was only because they had the advantage. When they encountered heavily injured Earth Dragons, they had to use bows and arrows to kill them. But now, there were more than ten Earth Dragons here. Earth Dragons were savage by nature and extremely bloodthirsty. Even if they had more than forty people, they still had to retreat.
However, although Shi Linghu had issued the order to leave, because they were chasing after the Tree Pigs, many of the villagers had been separated. Some of the villagers didn't even have time to leave before they were caught by the Earth Dragons.
"No, Qing Lin, quickly dodge!" A youth who was chasing after the Earth Dragon didn't have time to dodge. Coincidentally, an Earth Dragon noticed him and directly pounced towards him.
Seeing that the Earth Dragon was about to catch up to Shi Qinglin, the villagers were so angry that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. However, they were too far away, and even arrows couldn't reach him.
Feeling the bloody atmosphere behind him, Shi Qinglin was so scared that his face turned pale. No matter how fast he ran, the shadow of death quickly enveloped him.
Whoosh! ~ ~ ~
Right at this moment, they only saw the sound of something piercing through the air. Under the shocked gazes of the villagers, they saw a three meter long and one meter thick beast bone soar through the air like a sharp arrow, directly exploding into the body of the Earth Dragon that was pouncing in the air.
Bang! ~ ~ ~
With a muffled sound, the Earth Dragon in the air was like it had been hit by an artillery shell. It fiercely smashed into the ground, directly creating a huge crater.
"Lend me your sword!" The villagers didn't even have time to react when they suddenly heard a light shout. Soon after, they saw a figure quickly rushing forward.
"Catch my sword!" Shi Linghu directly threw the broadsword in his hand towards the figure. It streaked through the air in an arc and landed in front of the figure.
The figure stretched out his hand and pulled in the air. The broadsword that weighed several hundred kilograms fell into his hand as if it was weightless. Soon after, they saw the figure carrying the broadsword, like a ghost, meet the Earth Dragons head on.
Shua! Shua! Shua! ~ ~ ~
The sword flashed like the sword of the God of Slaughter from hell. The heads of the Earth Dragons were thrown into the air, and blood dyed the entire mountaintop red …
