Chapter 22 Barbarians Hunt (2)
Hu Cangya said, “Feng, what else do you need us for now that we’ve dug it out?”

XinFeng said, “No need, that’s good. You guys go back first. Leave the people who came from the beginning behind and go up the tree.”

Hu Cangya gave a few instructions. The large group of hunters retreated, but Hu Cangya did not leave. He said, “I will also go up the tree.” The old man was still worried.

Hiding in the giant tree was basically not dangerous. Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Alright, everyone, go up the tree. Once the cattle come over, pay attention to hugging the tree tightly. If you fall down, you’ll have a lot of fun.”

Ke Dashan said, “Feng, what are you going to do?” He also couldn’t understand what XinFeng wanted to do. No wonder, the furthest the Hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort could go was to the Hundred Clans Village. Whether it was knowledge or experience, they were extremely lacking. Their skills were passed down from generation to generation. Furthermore, they could also explore for themselves. How could XinFeng obtain so much knowledge from the information explosion in his previous life?

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Everyone, don’t go down the tree. Haha, let’s have a look.” He removed the black bow from his back and fastened the bowstring. This time, he brought thirty specially made arrows, enough for him to use.

Ke Dashan hesitated for a moment. He turned around and climbed up a giant tree, saying, “Feng, be careful yourself.”

Lei Xingfeng waved his black bow and dived towards the grassland. Everyone was shocked. No one dared to enter the grassland. However, they quickly relaxed because they could clearly see that Lei Xingfeng did not really enter the grassland. Instead, he was hiding in the bushes at the edge of the grassland.

On the giant tree, everyone could clearly see the cows moving slowly.

There were at least forty to fifty barbarian cows in each herd, and there were hundreds of them. They were leisurely eating grass, and there were also some that were eating the leaves of short trees. Each of the barbarian cows was incomparably huge. The hunters on the giant trees were all red-eyed and their hearts were racing. One barbarian cow was enough for a family to survive a peaceful cold season. Everyone hoped to get a barbarian cow.

From the trees, they could clearly see the herd of cattle and XinFeng’s silhouette stealthily walking through the bushes.

Ke Dashan clenched his fists and said, “What does A-Feng want?”

“Who knows?” Ke Nanshan smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, a hunter whispered, “Not good! Look!”

The location of these giant trees was relatively good. One could see a few figures faintly appearing several hundred meters away. Hu Cangya stared at them. After a while, he whispered, “Barbarians! Barbarians Hunters! Everyone, watch out for concealment … If it’s bad, who will inform A Feng?”

Ke Shi said, “I’ll go!”

A hunter quickly climbed down the tree and dived towards Lei Xingfeng’s location. This hunter was thin and agile. He was a famous hunter in Huya Castle. It wasn’t that he was good at hunting, but he was very good at stealth scouting. His speed was extremely fast. He had already dived to Lei Xingfeng’s side in a few minutes. Everyone could see clearly from the tree and relaxed one by one.

Lei Xingfeng and the hunter quickly returned. They definitely couldn’t alert the cattle at this time.

Climbing up the giant tree, XinFeng said, “Why are there barbarians?”

Hu Cangya was so angry that his hands were trembling. Last time, he had encountered someone from the Eagle Colony, but this time, he had encountered another barbarian. This luck was simply extremely bad. It was too unsmooth. He said, “Damn it … Too bad, why did the barbarians come here? There seems to be a lot of them. Feng, look over there.”

The barbarians were tall and large, and it was difficult to hide in the forest.

XinFeng observed carefully. After a while, he said, “At least ten barbarians.”

Everyone’s faces turned pale. Once there were more than ten barbarians, they would definitely be a large-scale hunting squad. With the barbarians’ strength, it was easy to defeat five or six ordinary hunters at once. They were the top hunters in the forest.

XinFeng had also seen a hunter for the first time. In the past, he had lived in Tiger Cliff Castle, so he had no chance to go out. Of course, he could not see barbarians. However, he had heard many stories about barbarians. What barbarians ate people, barbarians went crazy, barbarians were powerful, and so on? The hunters had a natural fear of barbarians.

Hu Cangya whispered, “I hope you don’t discover us” He suddenly remembered something and said, “Whoever goes back, tell our people to hide well.”

A hunter answered and left. He was joking. The troops were still hiding in the dense forest. Once the barbarians discovered them, they would become prey. They had to hide well.

XinFeng frowned and stared into the distance. He said, “They should be attacking the barbarian cattle as well. Aren’t they afraid of the barbarian cattle attacking them?”

Hu Cangya said, “Of course I’m afraid. However, the barbarians are incomparably strong and their skin is rough and thick. If we are hit by the barbarian bull, we won’t be able to survive. However, the barbarians are not necessarily better. Their bodies are much better than ours. As long as they don’t continuously collide and trample, they will have a chance of surviving.”

Hu Daniu whispered, “The Barbarians’ physical recovery is much better than ours. I once surrounded and killed a barbarian with a dozen or so hunters. That guy was beaten to the point that his entire body was covered in blood. I don’t know how many times I’ve hacked him, but he managed to escape in the end. It’s extremely difficult for barbarians to kill him.”

Many hunters whispered about how powerful the barbarians were.

Lei Xingfeng secretly shook his head. With these hunters’ mentality, they simply couldn’t fight the barbarians. They were already afraid. This was Huya Castle’s most elite hunter. The other hunters could imagine that once they encountered the barbarians, they would definitely be defeated.

Hu Cangya said, “They’re moving! Many people!”

Lei Xingfeng’s eyes were sharper than anyone else’s. Before he cultivated, his gaze was extremely good. After he cultivated the Thunder Wheel Force, he could see further. He silently counted. Very quickly, he said, “There are at least twenty-one barbarians. As for what I didn’t see … there should be more.”

Hu Cangya sucked in a breath of cold air. There were more than twenty barbarians. Even if the hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort came out, they would still cause huge casualties. No matter what, they could not meet these barbarians. Even if this hunt failed, this hunt would fail and there would be another one. However, he didn’t even dare to imagine how he would meet the barbarians.

One after another, the barbarians jumped down from the tree. The vanguard was four barbarians. Behind them were dozens of barbarians, and a group of barbarians emerged from the tree.

Lei Xingfeng was still counting, “Six more came out, two more … Good fellow, it’s over thirty …”

Apart from Lei Xingfeng, almost all the hunters’ faces turned pale. Ke Dashan’s face was also pale as he said, “Could it be that the Barbarian Tribe organized a hunt?”

Hu Cangya smiled bitterly and whispered, “Dashan, you … should be right.”

This year’s cold season was not easy, and this year’s warm season was generally low in prey. If it wasn’t for this, Tiger Cliff Fort wouldn’t have organized such a large-scale hunt. Unexpectedly, barbarians also rarely hunted near human settlements. Because if they went too far, they would attract experts from the Hundred Clans Stronghold to eliminate them. They were also afraid of experts among humans.

Very quickly, the barbarians scattered behind the big tree. Only the four barbarians in front continued forward. Each of them had a thick steel spear in their hands. With Lei Xingfeng’s gaze, he could guess how thick the steel spear was. It was as thick as a small bowl and was more than three meters long. It was like a sharpened steel pillar. It was a terrifying weapon.

Apart from the thick steel spear, there was also the giant axe. According to Lei Xingfeng’s estimation, the axe was half the size of a door. Seeing the barbarian lightly and nimbly holding it, Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but smack his lips. This was simply too terrifying. No wonder it was called a barbarian, it was too fucking scary.

Even though Lei Xingfeng was already a Thousand Wheel Master, when he saw the barbarians, he was a little scared. It wasn’t a matter of strength, but the barbarians’ appearance was too abnormal.

In front of the barbarians was a group of barbarian cows. There were about seventy to eighty barbarian cows. It seemed that the barbarians had been eyeing this group of barbarian cows for a long time.

A barbarian suddenly took a few steps forward and roared violently. He raised his hand and flew out a steel spear that looked like a steel pillar. Then, without looking at the barbarian cattle, the four of them turned around and fled.

Moo!

The steel spear pierced into a giant barbaric bull’s body and stabbed into its body in an instant. The barbaric bull shook and fell down.

Lei Xingfeng’s pupils contracted sharply. Only then did he know why the barbarians dared to hunt bulls. Ordinary hunters were unable to break through the barbarians’ hides. However, the barbarians’ steel spears easily pierced through and killed one of them in an instant. This power shocked Lei Xingfeng. He estimated that his Lunli Armor would not be able to withstand it. Although he had never tried it, he naturally did not dare to try it.

The four barbarians ran separately. Lei Xingfeng was once again shocked. He could hear the thumping sound of footsteps from so far away. Immediately after, a barbarian cow cried out. The cattle suddenly went crazy and began charging at the four of them. The hooves of the cattle stepped on the ground. Even though Lei Xingfeng was very far away, the rumbling sound could be heard clearly.

The four barbarians ran separately, and the barbarian cattle immediately split up as well. However, the biggest group of barbarians was still chasing after the barbarian who threw out the steel spear.

Lei Xingfeng was even more shocked. He said, “These barbarians are very smart!”

Hu Cangya said, “Barbarians have never been stupid, especially in hunting. They are even smarter and even stronger than us.”

The barbarians ran like crazy. They knew better than anyone that once they were knocked down by the bull, their chances of survival were slim.

The barbarian who had just killed a barbarian bull sprinted for several hundred meters. The barbarian bull behind him was less than ten meters away from him. He suddenly jumped up. His clumsy body actually grabbed a hanging branch and hoisted it up. The barbarian bull behind him did not even have time to stop. Of course, they did not stop and directly collided with the barbarian bull.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The barbarian bulls smashed into the giant tree one after another. Lei Xingfeng could clearly see the giant tree swaying in the distance. Even though the giant tree was thick, the barbarian bull’s strength could still shake. Countless tree trunks were broken. The trees that were hugged together could not block the impact of the barbarian bull at all.

Crack sounds echoed out, followed by the collapse of the trees. Apart from the giant trees, there were practically no trees that could block the barbarian bull’s impact. However, the speed of the barbarian bull’s impact also slowed down.

Hearing this, the barbarians on and behind the tree immediately attacked.
