After drinking tea for several hours, it was seven o’clock in the evening. The lights in the courtyard of the Qin Family were turned on and three large square tables were set up. Two tables for adults and one table for children lively and lively, they began to eat dinner.

The orange-red light shone through the old-fashioned light bulbs under the eaves and scattered sparsely on the square table, where more than half of the leather had fallen. At this moment, on the old dining table were fried chicken with red onion, white-cut geese, braised duck with potatoes, fried ribs, fried vegetables with lard, dried pork bone vegetables soup, and several nameless Far Eastern farmhouse dishes. Apart from the sumptuous dishes, Qin Baoshan also dug out a jar of aged wine from the cellar, filled it with large bowls for Tie Zha and the three Martial Monks, and then drank it in large mouthfuls. Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He sat down with the children and ate happily.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to drink tea and chat. In the Far East, there was very little entertainment. In the evening, apart from playing cards and chess, they drank tea and watched TV, or chatted about melon seeds. However, Tie Zha was originally not good at chatting, and he did not usually have the habit of chatting. The three Yunyou Martial Monks from the Fire Horn Temple were also quiet people. The so-called small talk was what Qin Baoshan said by himself, and everyone else was listening.

Ever since he stepped into the Qin Clan’s door, Tie Zha felt uncomfortable all over his body and bound his hands and feet in everything he did. On the one hand, under the attention of the elders, he couldn’t be too intimate with Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He. On the other hand, Qin Baoshan always looked over intentionally or unintentionally, forcing him to put on a serious attitude.

Actually, Tie Zha usually didn’t have much fun. In the past, when he was in Tieshan Town, he had to run for his life every day. It was rare for him to sit down and rest for a while, but he was just dumbfounded. Sometimes, he would sit in front of the repair shop with Old Niu for a whole day without saying a word. After arriving at the end of the world, he had to study every day and cultivate ancient martial arts. Occasionally, when he rested, he would sit at the castle gate with Cozan, basking in the sun, and spend the whole day in a daze.

If he insisted on saying that he had a hobby, there was probably only one-interacting with different girls. However, in this Qin Clan mansion, he was deprived of even his last favor, so he could only sit there in a daze. After listening to Qin Baoshan boast all night, the idle Tie Zha took a bath and went back to his room to sleep.

After sleeping until midnight, he got up and gently pulled open the big wooden bolt on the door. He quietly touched the door and stealthily walked through the shadows of the wall, wanting to find the rooms of the two women. However, at this moment, he heard Mother Qin coughing and had no choice but to retreat.

He was speechless all night …

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The next morning, at dawn, Qin Baoshan knocked on a bronze gong, waking up the family and the guests. Moments later, in the Qin Family’s kitchen, Tie Zha, who had just finished washing up, looked at Qin Ke’er who was drinking rice porridge with an unhappy expression. Her fierce gaze seemed to be about to devour her alive.

Qin Ke’er comforted him softly for a while and said that she would definitely find an opportunity to accompany him with Qian He tonight. Tie Zha snorted and ate pickled vegetables with white rice porridge.

Shortly after breakfast, a lively voice suddenly came from outside the door. Tie Zha brought the two women out with him. There were fifty to sixty villagers standing on the open space outside the door. Not far away, there were people walking towards this place one after another. Tie Zha had always disliked people, but he was about to go back when Qin Baoshan stopped him.

“Fellow villagers, this is Lord Tie from the west. He has brought you a lot of goods from the city.” Qin Baoshan shouted at the villagers, and immediately drew a burst of enthusiastic applause.

“Thank you, Lord Tie …” “The people in the city are just different.” “You’re too polite. You brought us something.”

Not long after, Qin Baoshan’s children moved the gifts Tie Zha bought to the door and gave them to the villagers.

“Aiya, this uncle is really nice.” “Third Young Lady is truly blessed.” “Village Chief is blessed.” ‘”Yes, yes …” The villagers lined up to pick up their things while discussing happily, as if they were celebrating a festival.

“I knew that third girl would definitely have great prospects in the future.” “She’s been smart since she was young, and her abacus is cracking.” Before leaving, the villagers who had finished picking up the items all gave Qin Ke’er thumbs-ups and kept praising her. “She can sing songs …” The people in the mountains were simple and honest, and if they got the benefits, they would say good things without any ambiguity.

About half an hour later, more than a thousand families of the Qin Family Village had more or less received some goods from the city and left contentedly. Although these items weren’t worth much, perhaps it was a canned luncheon meat, perhaps a few sausages, perhaps half a piece of ham, or perhaps a piece of clothing that they didn’t know if they could wear, they all happily and sincerely expressed their gratitude to Qin Baoshan and Tie Zha.

After most of the people dispersed, twenty to thirty young men stayed behind. They were all wearing leather armor, carrying rifles on their backs, stepping on beast leather boots, and dressed as mountain hunters.

“Village Chief, let’s go.” “We want to avenge Ergazi and the others.” “If we don’t kill it, the people who enter the mountain in the future will not be safe.” The hunters of the young man said in a tongue-tied manner.

Qin Baoshan stretched out his hand to suppress the pressure, signaling for everyone not to be anxious. Then, he walked into the mansion and invited the three wandering martial monks out, explaining the arrangements for this operation. He planned to select ten experienced hunters, led by Qin Ke’er, and lead three wandering martial monks into the mountains to kill the tigers.

Next, when Qin Baoshan was picking people, Qin Ke’er went back to her room and changed into a battle nurse outfit. She put on an arm belt, pinned the Silver Star pistol to her waist, and carried a group of emergency medical packages on her back. Then, she walked out in high spirits.

As he passed the door, Tie Zha, who was leaning against the doorpost, glanced sideways at her. Then he grinned and asked, “Are you really going?”

Mu Qianhe, who was leaning against the other side of the doorpost, also teased, “Little butt, can you shoot?”

“Of course.” Qin Ke’er pouted, pulled out the silver pistol from her waist, and put on a battle posture.

Mu Qianhe smiled and said, “Aiyo ~ Heroic ~”

“The insurance is open. Be careful of accidental fire.” Tie Zha indifferently reminded. Qin Ke’er’s expression changed. She hurriedly put away her pistol and inspected it carefully. However, she found that the safety bolt was still closed. She raised her head and snorted at Tie Zha.

A few minutes later, Qin Baoshan arranged his men and was about to announce his departure when Tie Zha stood up and said that he wanted to follow him. Before Qin Baoshan could say anything, one of the martial monks stepped forward and stopped him, “Lord Iron Slag, the Great Grandmaster instructed you when you came that you are a distinguished guest and you cannot take risks with your own body.”

“Women can go, what’s the danger?” Tie Zha asked.

“This” The martial monk hesitated for a moment and pointed at a large rock not far away. “If you can smash that rock with one punch, we won’t stop you.”

Tie Zha walked over and checked the rock. He found that it was granite. If he didn’t wear the power armor, he wouldn’t be able to shatter it. He turned around and asked, “This is granite. It’s too hard. Can you cut it with a sword?”

The martial monk nodded his head. He believed that the sword was unable to do anything to the granite, especially when the opponent was not wearing a power armor. He had just said that, hoping that the other party would retreat despite the difficulties. Soon, however, he saw Tie Zha pull out the straight machete from his back and hold it with both hands. His legs curved slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at the granite three steps away with rapt attention.

In the silence, Tie Zha concentrated his energy and slowly bent his waist. In the next instant, he shouted loudly and jumped onto the ground at the same time, as if he was frozen in mid-air, slashing down with a knife!

Clang!

As a dazzling blade light flashed past, a loud buzzing sound rang out. The granite that was more than two meters tall was actually split open and slowly fell to both sides, stirring up a burst of sand.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Tie Zha strolled back and casually asked, “Is that all right?”

“Alright!” The Martial Monk regained his senses and hurriedly nodded. This move of the other party was enough to show their strength in the distance. He was a Tier 2 Psionic Adept. He believed that he could only use a hammer to shatter this granite with his full power. It was impossible for him to use a saber.

Since Tie Zha had followed, Mu Qianhe naturally had to follow as well.

A few minutes later, the troop set off in full gear and drove three oxcarts away from the Qin Clan Village towards the mountains. This was the fringe of human settlements, and to the south was the uninhabited region of the Far East-the stretch of mountains.

Continuous mountains refer to the uninhabited mountains stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers in the southern and western parts of the Far East Continent. The lowest elevation was over 7,000 meters, and the highest was over 12,000 meters. The air was thin, the rocks were rugged, the vegetation was sparse, and snow was perennial.

The elevation of the Qin Village was around three thousand meters, and the further south one went, the higher the terrain would be. The hunters of the Qin Village usually moved in the mountains and forests between 3,000 and 4,000 meters above sea level. Because at an altitude of about five thousand meters, the vegetation would become sparse and the animals would also be sparse. It would be replaced by endless snowy mountains.

On the morning of the third day of departure, the caravan entered a dense forest. Tie Zha was playing cards with the two women in the cart when a deep roar suddenly came from not far ahead. The roar was very deep, but it was extremely penetrating, just like a ship’s whistle.

Tie Zha immediately stood up vigilantly. At the same time, he removed his psionic warrior rifle, reloaded it, and began to accumulate energy. He did not leave the oxcart, because the purpose of his trip was not to hunt tigers, but to look after his own woman.

A few seconds later, the two hunters who were exploring the road in front of them rushed back. As they ran, they shouted loudly, “The four-footed man is gone. He’s right ahead. He’s coming.”

Seeing this, the three martial monks immediately took off their psionic assault rifles and took a few steps back to protect Tie Zha’s oxcart in a triangle. Their primary task was to protect the safety of their distinguished guests, and their secondary task was to hunt tigers. This was what the Great Grandmaster had instructed them to do before they set off.
