The Earth Dragons and Tree Boars were roaring and howling. Scarlet blood gushed out like a fountain in the air, dying the ground of the small hill red. A pungent smell of blood pervaded the air.
The villagers of Stone Village stood in place and looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Just now, everyone was clearly running away, but in the next moment, those savage Earth Dragons became targets of slaughter. The change was too fast.
The entire process took less than five minutes. Not only were more than ten Earth Dragons killed, even those thirty to forty Tree Boars were not able to escape. They were all slaughtered cleanly.
A gentle breeze blew, and the blood-stained weeds on the hilltop gently swayed. Looking at Ye Xuan, who stood not too far away, and at his feet was an Earth Dragon whose head had been pierced by a longsword. At this moment, that figure, which was not very tall, looked like a demon to the villagers of Stone Village.
"Come, Brother Hu, I'll return the sword to you. Haha, this sword of yours is quite sturdy." Ye Xuan picked up the sword and walked to Shi Linghu's side. He handed the sword back to him with a smile.
Shi Linghu was still startled for a moment. Soon after, he laughed heartily as he received his broadsword and said, "Haha, of course, this sword was forged by a master from Little Lonely Mountain Town."
At this time, Shi Feijiao also walked over, patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, and said with a shameless smile, "Aiya, brother Ye, not bad. I didn't expect you to be so awesome, almost catching up to me!"
At this time, Shi Feijiao also walked over, patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, and said with a shameless smile, "Feijiao, do you still have any shame? Just now, I saw you run faster than anyone else. If you had half of brother Ye's skill, would you still be like this?" Another villager walked over and ruthlessly exposed him.
"Haha, that's right, Feijiao, don't flatter yourself. In my opinion, if you had a tenth of brother Ye's skill, that would be great!" The other villagers at this time also surrounded him and laughed.
"Brother Ye, thank you for just now. If not for you, I might have been eaten by that Earth Dragon!" Shi Qinglin came over with a face full of gratitude.
"No problem, don't worry about it. We are a team!" Ye Xuan smiled and reached out his hand to pat Shi Qinglin's shoulder.
"Haha, what Brother Ye said is correct. We are all in the same team." Shi Linghu laughed. Immediately after, the villagers of Stone Village also nodded and laughed.
Ye Xuan also smiled. It seemed like he was starting to integrate into Stone Village.
After joking around for a while, the villagers happily began to pick up the spoils of war on the ground.
This time, there was really too much game. Thirteen earth dragons and thirty-six tree boars added together weighed more than twenty thousand pounds. Even though the Stone Village's hunting squad had more than forty people, if they divided it up evenly, each person would still need to carry nearly five hundred pounds of game.
This was not a small challenge for the villagers, because even though most of the villagers in the hunting group could indeed carry four to five hundred jin of items, the road back to Stone Village was relatively long, and the road was densely packed with vicious birds and fierce beasts. If a vicious bird or beast suddenly attacked, it could cause unnecessary casualties.
The villagers of Stone Village never thought that there would be a day when they would be troubled by too much game. You have to know that normally, if they could hunt a tenth of the game, it would already be considered a great harvest. It would be enough for the entire village to eat for half a month. But now, the food they had was enough for the entire village to eat for several months.
In the end, it was still Ye Xuan who stood up and ordered people to find some thick old vines. He tied the majority of the game together like sausages. Then, under the shocked gazes of all the villagers, he easily lifted the ten thousand jin game above his head.
"Oh, back to the village!" After the shock, some of the Stone Village villagers carried the game, while others were in charge of clearing the road and guarding the village. Then, they happily walked back to the village.
The road back to the village was not peaceful, because there was too much game this time, and a lot of blood was shed. Even though the villagers cleaned it up a bit, with so much game, the smell of blood was too strong, and it attracted the covetous eyes of vicious beasts. For example, there was a giant tiger covered in red fur, or a python that was as thick as a water bucket, nearly twenty meters long, and could fly with wings. The most dangerous thing was about fifty li away from Stone Village, where they met a dozen black scaled, elephant-sized wolves.
Normally, when the villagers of Stone Village encountered these frightening beasts, they would definitely retreat. There might even be casualties, and it would be even more impossible to preserve their prey. However, this time, with Ye Xuan in the hunting party, everything was different.
No matter if it was the three meter tall, five meter long Fire Tiger, or the bucket thick, twenty meter long Flying Python, even the giant wolves were killed seven times, and all became prey.
When they returned to Stone Village, the game had already increased from twenty thousand jin to forty thousand jin. It was definitely a great harvest.
The red sun set in the west, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire Stone Village was dyed in a faint golden color. In the distance, the roars of tigers and cries of apes could be heard, and the large stone houses here were as sacred and peaceful as ancient temples.
Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, and the setting sun drew out long shadows on the ground. Their silhouettes were framed with streaks of gold, making them seem incomparably tall and majestic.
Especially the person walking at the very back. His stature did not seem tall, but he carried a small mountain of game in one hand. Every step he took caused the ground to tremble, making him look like a demon god.
"Oh, they're back! Dad and the others are back!" When the children in Stone Village saw the returning hunting party, they all immediately cheered. The uneasiness in the hearts of the village's elders and women immediately disappeared, and they all began to laugh.
"Heavens, so much game! Isn't that the injured person from before? He actually carried so much game by himself. Heavens, his strength is simply astonishing!"
When they saw Ye Xuan carrying a small mountain of game by himself, the villagers immediately opened their mouths wide, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Bang!!!
When Ye Xuan placed the small mountain of game in the village, the entire ground immediately trembled as if there was an earthquake.
"Heavens, this is a Fire Tiger!"
"This is an Earth Dragon!"
"And here, this is a Flying Python!"
After Ye Xuan put down all of the game, the villagers became even more shocked, because many of the game they saw as extremely powerful vicious beasts. However, now, they actually became their prey, and they were covered in blood as they fell in front of them.
"This time, we have to thank you, Ye Xuan. Not only did you allow our clansmen to return safely, you also brought back so much game!" Chief Shi Yunfeng had already heard about today's events from Shi Linghu, so he walked over and gratefully grasped Ye Xuan's hand as he spoke.
"Chief, you are too polite. This is what I should do. I have been in Stone Village for so long, and it is all thanks to everyone's care!" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Good, then I won't say any more!" Shi Yunfeng laughed and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder. He didn't say any more, because if he said any more, it would seem too polite. Only by doing this would he be able to show his approval of Ye Xuan.
After the villagers' excitement died down, Shi Yunfeng led everyone to carry the game one by one, and walked towards the altar in front of the willow tree …
