The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 188
Chapter 188 Return to Huya Castle (2)
Tiger Cliff Castle might not have been visited for a year. It was a rather remote place, so XinFeng’s return had become a major event. Furthermore, the residents knew that XinFeng was a cultivator, which was the glory of Tiger Cliff Castle.
A group of people surrounded XinFeng and returned to the small courtyard where he used to live.
XinFeng already knew that Grandpa hadn’t come back. He was rather disappointed in his heart. However, after thinking about it, he understood that Grandpa shouldn’t come back anymore, because once he recovered his cultivation, there would be no point in coming back.
Hu Cangya said, “Feng, after you left, we’ve been helping to tidy up your home. Haha, take a look. If you lack anything, just let me know. Everyone help … En, Feng, how long do you plan to stay?” He knew XinFeng wouldn’t live in Tiger Cliff Fort, but he hoped XinFeng would come back often to take a look.
XinFeng smiled and said, “Old Master, I just came back to take a look and left after staying for a few days.”
Hu Cangya said, “Well, now it’s hunting season again. Unfortunately, you can’t stay longer.”
XinFeng said, “The hunting season is here. Alright, I’ll stay for a few more days. Uncle Ke, I’m still with you guys on this hunt. Haha, how about it? By the way, there are four of us here.”
Uncle Ke smiled honestly and said, “That’s great. In the past, you were able to bring hunters from the entire castle to hunt. This time, bring more people, hehe.” Of course he knew how powerful Lei Xingfeng was, but he didn’t know how powerful Lei Xingfeng was now.
Hu Cangya’s eyes immediately lit up. If XinFeng was willing to bring the hunters from Tiger Cliff Castle to hunt, then the food this year wouldn’t be a problem. Thinking back to hunting barbarian cows in the past, he said, “Yeah, yeah, Feng, lead the hunting team. All the hunters will follow, okay?” He looked at XinFeng expectantly.
XinFeng nodded and agreed, “Alright, then please let the old man know. Tomorrow, I will bring the hunters of the entire castle to hunt, haha.” He also wanted to help the hunters of Tiger Cliff Fort.
Hu Cangya was overjoyed. He said, “That’s great. With A Feng joining us, we will definitely catch more this year. This way, winter will be easier.”
The hunters also revealed happy expressions. Lei Xingfeng was quite famous. He had commanded large-scale hunting before, so no one would question his decision when he came to command the hunt this time.
Under Hu Cangya’s command, many hunters brought over large amounts of meat. Ke Dashan and the others even set up a big pot in the small courtyard and began to cook food. All the famous hunters from Huya Castle came, and they welcomed Lei Xingfeng back. In this name, they invited Lei Xingfeng and the others to dinner.
Jin Daya was very touched. He said, “The people from Tiger Cliff Castle are very good.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “When I was young, I relied on everyone to help me not starve to death. Haha.”
Both Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict revealed surprised expressions, because XinFeng had never said anything about his childhood.
The residents of Huya Castle were very cautious about eating. Every family took out meat, as well as all kinds of dried vegetables and fresh vegetables. A few large pots added together to cook, and in a short period of time, the entire courtyard was filled with a thick fragrance. Many children were running around the courtyard, and they all looked extremely excited.
Lei Xingfeng asked, “Uncle Nan Shan, did you prepare enough food for last year’s cold season?”
Ke Nan Shan smiled and said, “Last year was not bad. The hunters from Eagle Leader didn’t dare to come over, so our hunting area has grown a little bigger. However, barbarians often appear and hurt a few of our hunters. Fortunately, they all managed to save their lives.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Could it be that some barbarian tribes have moved over?”
Ke Dashan said, “We are also worried about this. If a barbarian tribe moved over, we might not feel it at first, but it will take a long time. When the descendants of the barbarians grow up, we will be in trouble. We have to ask the experts of the Great Hongdong to eliminate them. We do not know what the price will be to invite them over.”
Hu Cangya said, “Isn’t there A-Feng? I remember back then, the people of the Great Hongdong had promised that Huya Castle would be ours for a hundred miles.”
Ke Shi said, “At first, I was a little helpful, but later, I didn’t pay much attention to it. In recent years, I haven’t even seen a trace of it.”
XinFeng knew that no faction would work for nothing. At first, it was for Old Man Lei Bao’s sake. However, since Old Man Lei Bao didn’t show up, they didn’t pay much attention to Tiger Cliff Castle. Gradually, they ignored him. He smiled and said, “Hua Wuyi is red for a hundred days. It’s normal. Oh right, the people from Eagle Collar …”
Hu Cangya smiled and said, “The people of the Eagle Collar have all moved away. There is no one living in the Eagle Collar anymore.”
Lei Xingfeng immediately understood that the Great Hongdong had put pressure on the Eagle Territory. Fortunately, the Juman Continent lacked everything, and the most important thing was land. Therefore, the people of the Eagle Territory did not lack mountains to survive. As long as the shifters of the Great Hongdong were invited, it would be easy to clean up a piece of land.
Hu Cangya asked, “Do you want to bring the people who will be transported tomorrow?”
XinFeng smiled and shook his head. He had room to hide, so he didn’t have to work hard to fight back. He said, “No need, we have our own way to transport our prey. We don’t need too many hunters tomorrow. Well, the best hunters go. The rest are prepared at home. We need them to help us bring our prey back.”
Hu Cangya scratched his head. He didn’t understand Lei Xingfeng’s words. However, he had a lot of experience, so he didn’t continue to ask further. Instead, he said straightforwardly, “Alright, I’ll prepare a twenty-man hunting party tomorrow. How about it?”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Twenty people is enough.” He had no intention of letting the hunters attack. With him and the three guards, there was no need to worry about the prey.
…
The next morning, twenty hunters arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. They were all the elite hunters of Tiger Cliff Castle.
XinFeng walked out of the courtyard with Jin Daya, Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict. Looking at Ke Dashan and the other 20 hunters, he smiled and said, “Ke Dashan, there’s no need to carry a basket. We have a way to carry our prey.”
Ke Dashan and the others already knew the wonders of cultivators. However, they didn’t know how to bring their prey. However, since Lei Xingfeng said that they didn’t need to bring it, they simply put the basket in the small courtyard. They only took the steel spear and the bow and arrow and set off with Lei Xingfeng.
Sitting under the basket to the bottom of the cliff, the four of them didn’t show off. Instead, they sat under the basket obediently. Actually, they could fly.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Go to the pasture. Hehe, I want to hunt wild cattle.” He had always remembered the delicacy of barbaric beef. Unfortunately, after leaving Juman Continent, he could no longer find any barbaric cattle. This time, he planned to stock up on a batch of barbaric beef. Of course, it could not be fresh meat. He had to be cured and dried before it could be preserved for a long time.
Barbarian cows were in Huya Castle, but they were top-notch meat. Even top hunters would find it hard to eat them often. This was because barbarian cows were really difficult to hunt. Their hides were rough and thick, and they were in groups. Without certain methods, they did not dare to hunt barbarian cows at all.
In the mountains of the Savage Gathering Continent, even if barbarians dared to surround barbarian cows, ordinary hunters would still be almost there.
The place XinFeng wanted to go this time was a patch of grass, a place where barbarian cattle could move about.
Crazy Eagle said, “Feng, let me hunt this time. Haha.”
XinFeng said, “Don’t make a move. As long as you have me, I guess the prey … will be completely shattered if you make a move.”
One had to know that the entire body of a barbaric bull was a treasure. Apart from meat, the most precious thing on the body of a barbaric bull was its hide. Barbaric bull hide was the best material for a hunter’s leather armor. In the mountains, this thing was even hard currency. It could be exchanged for many things, especially the complete barbaric bull hide, which was even more valuable.
Crazy Eagle smiled and said, “Alright, it’s up to you.”
Lei Xingfeng discussed with Ke Dashan and the others. He decided to personally take action. He only wanted the other hunters to be on guard and send out sentries. As for Jin Daya, Feng Ying, and Shi Hu, they were not guarding against wild beasts, but against barbarians.
Once the barbarians were discovered, Lei Xingfeng was prepared to completely exterminate the barbarians in this area and give Huya Castle a good hunting environment.
Entering the familiar forest, XinFeng felt very cordial. This place was filled with plants and trees that he had seen since his childhood. However, XinFeng was no longer a child. At this time, he had already grown into a seven-ring true body expert. In this world, he was already considered a comparatively formidable expert.
In Lei Xingfeng’s Lunzang space, There were quite a few steel spears, many of which he had obtained when he was in Huya Castle. Some of them were bought elsewhere. Lei Xingfeng took out a steel spear, then took out the black bow. After thinking for a while, he put the black bow away. To him, the black bow was too useless. He thought that the attack power of the black bow was not enough, so he could only put it away.
Very quickly, a group of hunters arrived at the edge of the pasture. They could already see herds of barbaric cows leisurely grazing on the pasture.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Uncle Ke, let’s go up the tree and be on guard.”
Ke Dashan nodded and immediately ordered the hunters to climb the tree.
Lei Xingfeng whispered, “Uncle Jin, Uncle Eagle, Uncle Tiger, go up the tree and protect them. I’ll go in and kill the bulls.”
Jin Daya stared at the barbarian bull not far away. He was very experienced and said, “This barbarian bull is not bad. Its physique is huge. This body of meat is enough to cut out more than 1,000 jin. Haha, I’ve climbed up the tree.” He jumped up and flew straight to the tree.
Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict also flew up the tree. The three of them tacitly took up a triangular space, just in time to protect all the hunters.
Lei Xingfeng held the steel spear in his hand and swaggered towards the grass.
Ke Dashan said in shock, “What does A-Feng want? This, this is too dangerous!”
