Chapter 2 The hunter was once rich to rival the country
The biological clock is a powerful weapon evolved by human beings. It can make a person look like a cow, or it can make a person as weak as a gust of wind.
Hunter Jie has long been awakened by the subconscious effect of the biological clock, which has to be said to be a miracle.
After packing his luggage and extinguishing the fire, the hunter packed everything as cleanly as if the house had been ransacked by robbers and licked again by a black bear that had been hungry all winter. All useful things were hidden, not only
Without being discovered by humans, even a mouse can steal everything from you.
For the hunter, all this is planned. At this time, it is time to pack up and set off.
Even if you are wearing thick deerskin boots, the cold will still steal any bit of your body temperature. What is even more deadly is that in this ice and snow, it will invade every inch of your body all the time, as if it wants to take you away.
everything of.
The snow is capped and goes deep into the mountains, as if everything has been enchanted. The elves decorate every place on this land with a pure white color. Some places may be rocks, and some places may be natural traps.
, for a hunter, of course he knows how to choose a safe path, and at the same time, he is constantly avoiding the unknown dangers.
Walking another ten miles, there is another safe house. In the next journey, the safe house set up by Jie's ancestors will get closer and closer. At the same time, the reserves inside will become less and less. Similarly, the risks that will follow will become more and more.
Coming soon, for Jay, the next journey is the beginning of hunting. Although, at this time, he has harvested not many prey, many of which are favored by the nobles in the town, such as a red-tailed marten.
There is no trace of the top grade, and there is also a snow-white white fox. For the sake of convenience, Jie has simply cleaned the prey with the knife in his hand. The knife in Jie's hand is like the legendary ox-rigging knife, neatly breaking down the prey.
Then, leaving only the fur, scrub it clean with snow and put it in the backpack.
Some traps were discovered by hungry beasts, and then the prey on them was stolen and the traps were damaged. Jay repaired them bit by bit, and then marked them. This route is relatively safe, but there are always dangers in the forest.
They are all full of dangers, including natural traps, traps forgotten by hunters, and hungry wild beasts in winter.
Every step of the hunter's feet is difficult in and out of the snow. Similarly, most of the giant beasts have entered hibernation. Only some small prey will come out to look for food during this season, but this does not mean that small prey are not in danger.
Fewer hunters die in the mouths of tigers than in the mouths of hungry wolves. Even the aggression of some foxes is fatal to hunters, such as tigers, wolves, leopards, wild boars, badgers, jackals and other common beasts.
None of them can be resisted by humans. Fortunately, hunters rely on wisdom, which is both a talent and an ability.
Large traps are not suitable for Jay's original intention. They are time-consuming, labor-intensive, risky and fatal. Only small things are the hunters' favorite treasures. Of course, they are also the treasures of the noble men living in the city. Now, these
The treasures are all in Jay's pocket.
After picking up another prey, Jay looked up at the mountain not far away. The hunter finally stopped to rest for the first time. He stood on a rock that was not covered by snow and looked at the mountain that almost changed his destiny.
of mountains.
More than a hundred years ago, this world was called the "Steam Age". It is said that there was a city of steel that was always shrouded in black smoke. There were no starry skies there. Even during the day, it could only be illuminated by electric lights. Moreover, it was a city that never slept.
For Jie Lai, it felt incredible. How could it be a city that never sleeps without light?
Of course, Jay has not been to too far away, he has only been to the city a few times, which is farther than the town, and the City of Steel is said to be even further away.
Why does a Jie in the mountains know so much? It's because of a secret discovered by his grandfather. It is said that one of Jie's grandfathers was once a very knowledgeable hunter. At the same time, he knew a lot about rocks. It's the one in front of him.
On a huge mountain, Jie's grandfather discovered a coal mine, a very, very large coal mine. However, later, it was said that humans outside discovered better energy sources, which were better than coal mines, and coal mines were no longer needed.
Of course, this is not the end of the story. Although the value of the coal mine has become lower, it is definitely a huge wealth, enough for outstanding ancestors and descendants to live like nobles. However, at that time, something happened that made
What people cannot accept is that Jie's grandfather was taken advantage of, and the coal mine incident became known to everyone and became a secret known to everyone.
The strange thing is that later, many vicious deaths occurred in the coal mine. Tens of thousands of people died successively, which became a sensational event. Bounty hunters and officials explored the secrets here countless times, but all failed. From then on,
This mountain has become an unsolved mystery. For more than a hundred years, Jie's ancestors turned this area into a forbidden area, strictly prohibiting any descendants from entering for hunting. In fact, many people who went there a few years ago never came out.
, now, there are still various legends circulating in this place, the most terrifying one is the "Death Mine".
Jie knows who he is. No matter how tempting the temptation is, he is unwilling to try such a dangerous place, because it is not facing death, but provoking. It is something only a fool would do, and an excellent hunter like Jie
I will never touch it.
For Hunter Jay, the only regret is that in the past, he might have become very rich but it did not become a reality.
But Hunter Jie is not upset. For him, he is not actually poor. The wealth left by his ancestors alone can allow him to live a comfortable life. There are many treasures belonging to hunters in the deep forest, not those beasts, but...
Gemstones, precious herbs, rare animal skins and gold left by our ancestors.
For the proud Jie, squandering will erode the heart; for a warrior, nothing is more satisfying than earning his own living; for a hunter, hunting is instinct, and everything else is secondary.
