In the deep mountains and old forests, the morning light is clear and the chirping of insects and birds can be heard from time to time.
The men of Hunting Tiger Village were sleeping soundly, many of them were injured and dressed in rags like beggars... There were only a few energetic people walking around and patrolling the outside, warning of danger.
In a flat open space, Jiang Ming practiced the Cowhide Tiger Bone Technique one by one, making a whistling sound as it rubbed against the air, and from time to time a surging aura erupted.
Fang Lie completely sensed blood energy a few days ago, and Jiang Ming also happened to "make progress" while practicing boxing one morning after entering the mountains, and started to sense blood energy from time to time...
"You're not messy at all..." Guan Feng walked up to Jiang Ming with a big bow on his back and said with a faint smile.
Jiang Ming withdrew his fist and stood up, looking around: "I have been living in the mountains and forests, maybe I have adapted... Besides, the more chaos, the worse. Only by practicing boxing and becoming stronger can we better face danger."
"It's just that I never knew...that the depths of Yunmeng Mountain could be so dangerous."
As he said that, Jiang Ming also looked cautious. When he was a herb gatherer before, his scope of activities had never been so deep, and the wild beasts he encountered were all within his range, but this time this mountain forest was completely different...
Five days have passed since Guan Feng took the newcomers into the mountain. The confidence of everyone who was originally full of confidence has been greatly damaged in these few days.
The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the more terrifying the beasts you encounter.
On the first day they happily killed a few deer, but on the second day they were attacked by wolves, and Zhao Xiaoliu and several other newcomers were injured.
Yesterday, a black bear with a thick head and thick flesh rushed directly into the crowd and beat two newcomers to death. In the end, Guan Feng took action and nailed an arrow to the heart of the black bear, killing it.
"No one knows how big Yunmeng Shanze is. Even the owner of the village may not have gone all the way!" Guan Feng sighed after hearing this:
"The beasts in this mountain are even more ferocious. It is not difficult for some beasts that have devoured exotic flowers and plants to kill warriors... Of course, this is why I, Hunter Tiger Village, went into the mountains to make a living, otherwise I would kill ordinary beasts.
How can we support a population of several hundred people?"
Jiang Ming's heart moved, and he remembered this mountain forest... It is not an easy place to mutate wild beasts. There may be some supernatural power, or it may be related to the cultivation of immortals...
When I become stronger in the future, I might as well want to explore it.
Guan Feng suddenly said: "Would you like to settle in my Hunting Tiger Village?"
Jiang Ming was stunned. Whether they were newcomers like them or old people who had been in the village for decades, they could only be regarded as working for Liehu Village.
And the so-called settlement means becoming a real member of Liehu Village, being regarded as the owner of Liehu Village, and having rights and resources that are completely different from those of Jiang Ming and other migrant workers...
But it is not easy to settle down in Liehu Village. At the very least, you have to become a third-rate warrior like Peng Lu.
But now Jiang Ming... can only sense blood energy. Has Guan Feng seen his true strength?
Jiang Ming shook his head secretly, probably not. Unless a warrior inspires his own blood, it would be difficult for a first-rate warrior to see the true nature of others.
However, Jiang Ming had been spending a month with the people at Hunting Tiger Village, and he knew that they were a group of men who seemed rough but actually valued emotions. Guan Feng treated him well, so he didn't want to lie.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming raised his head and said calmly:
"I don't want to deceive the headhunter, but I came to Liehu Village for only one purpose, which was to learn martial arts and become stronger... When I was at Liehu Village, I would naturally do my best to do what I should do, and I would not be lazy at all, but I
My ambition is not in Hunting Tiger Village, nor in this mountain forest."
"Whether I am a herbal collector or a martial arts apprentice... there is actually no difference to me, it is just an experience on my way of growing up..."
Jiang Ming seems to be a frivolous young man, but this is indeed his true thought. For him, how can a tiger hunting village accommodate his long life... But these are not enough for outsiders.
This is equivalent to rejection... Guan Feng was also amazed and said: "Do you know how many scalps the old people in the village can make for just one place to settle down?"
"The arena in this world is not as romantic as you think. If you go out and make a living based on your strength, it will only lead to a dead end. How can you join the Hunting Tiger Village and be stable..."
Jiang Ming said with a carefree smile: "Guan Headhunter taught me on the first day that the momentum of a tiger should be indomitable. Why are you talking about stability now?"
"Have you stayed in the village for a long time, and the tiger's strength has been smoothed..."
Guan Feng was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, you are indeed the young man I admire, both stunned and crazy! Don't worry, you can learn martial arts in Zhuangzi. As long as I know something, I can teach you!"
"If you become rich one day and encounter trouble at Hunting Tiger Village, don't forget to help..." Guan Feng joked again.
Jiang Ming nodded seriously: "Definitely!"
Many newcomers were tired from the past few days and were sleeping drowsily. At this time, they were woken up by Guan Feng's loud voice and were about to curse... but they all shut up after seeing who it was.

Peng Lu came with a few people and said in a deep voice:
"Boss... all the tiger attracting powder has been sprinkled!"
"Okay, this trial is over!" Guan Feng grinned and said:
"You take these rookies and carry the harvested prey to Ping'an Town. There will be people there to support you. If anyone wants to leave after returning to Zhuangzi, they will be sent away with a hundred copper coins... The rest will go deeper with me, crouching tigers."
"Can we finally go down the mountain?" Zhao Xiaoliu covered his injured arm with a cry in his voice.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and a few even had fear in their eyes and never wanted to enter the mountain again.
Guan Feng saw all these people in his eyes, shook his head disdainfully, turned around and walked deeper into the forest...
Peng Lu directed the newcomers to carry deer, hares and other prey. He himself gave a soft shout, directly carried the black bear, which was more than two people tall, on his back, and walked down the mountain with flying steps.
"As expected of a third-rate warrior..." Fang Lie, carrying a bunch of pheasants and a wild deer on his shoulders, said with envy, "I wonder when I will be able to refine my bleeding power and become a warrior."
Jiang Ming dragged a wild boar and asked curiously: "When did Zhuangzi have a base in Ping'an Town?"
Fang Lie scratched his head and said: "I heard that all the major forces in the city are carrying out construction projects and building branches in Ping'an Town. Zhuangzi should also be involved..."
Jiang Ming nodded and thought of A Fei, Lao Jiangtou and others. It would be good to go back and take a look...
Ping'an Town.
The familiar petty officials are still at the entrance of the town, collecting protection fees from every herb picker who returns to the town.
However, when he saw Peng Lu walking swiftly with the black bear on his shoulders, and saw a group of big men behind him, the careless and arrogant expression on his face instantly switched to flattery and humility:
"These are the heroes of Liehu Village, please come here. Your village's stronghold is in the best place in the center of the town..."
Although he is considered a member of the government, a low-level official is nothing compared to the warriors of the first-class force Hunter Tiger Village.
When Jiang Ming walked past him and looked at him, the clerk was stunned for a moment, and then a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Long time no see..." Jiang Ming smiled.
The clerk showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Brother Ming, it turns out that you joined Tiger Hunting Village. I was a little offended in the past. Please forgive me..."
As he spoke, he quickly took out a large bunch of copper coins from his pocket and wanted to hand them to Jiang Ming.
"Keep the flowers for yourself..." Jiang Ming shook his head and left.
The people who once sat on top of him and domineering him are now groveling to him. It would be pointless to get to know such people again...
