The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Big Leopard Causing Disaster (1)
Lei Xingfeng could not help but gasp when he saw a barbarian with a gigantic axe in his hand. With just one axe, a bloody light burst out and an incomparably large bull’s head was sliced off. He said, “Holy shit … this is too exaggerated!”
A few minutes later, only thirty to forty bulls escaped. The other half of the bulls were hunted by the barbarians. Seeing the Huya Castle Hunters, they all grinned as if everyone felt toothache. This was too vicious. In one attack, they had hunted nearly forty bulls. This kind of harvest was truly enviable and hateful.
Hu Cangya heaved a sigh of relief instead. He said, “The barbarians have obtained very good harvests, so … they won’t care about us.”
There was a local saying that if one was not afraid of the barbarians, one would be afraid that the barbarians would be hungry. Hungry barbarians were the most dangerous.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Barbarians are not invincible … I saw two barbarians injured. Well, one of them should be seriously injured.” With his sharp eyes, he discovered the injured barbarians. One of them was pushed against a giant tree by a barbarian bull because he couldn’t dodge. In an instant, a big hole was opened in his chest. The horns of the barbarian bull weren’t vegetarian.
Compared to the harvest, this barbarian hunt could be said to be extremely successful. Nearly forty barbarian cows were a huge fortune.
A group of hunters from Tiger Cliff Castle looked at the barbarians in the distance with envious eyes. Ke Zizhong said, “The barbarians are really strong. Tsk tsk, they are the real hunters.”
The hunters began to discuss, their words filled with envy and jealousy.
Only Hu Cangya said, “Alright, there’s no need to envy them. We can still hunt barbarian bulls. However … we can’t move yet. Once those barbarians leave, we can start.”
Lei Xingfeng sighed and said, “We can’t hunt today. When we go back, there are so many barbarian cows. Just tidying up and transporting them is enough for the barbarians to be busy.”
“Yes, let’s go!” Hu Cangya nodded.
A group of hunters didn’t get anything, but they were scared to death by the barbarians who appeared in the distance. XinFeng had no choice. He wasn’t afraid of the barbarians, but who among the hunters was willing to fight the barbarians and didn’t force them to the point of death? No one would take the initiative to challenge the barbarians foolishly.
Actually, even Lei Xingfeng’s scalp was numb after witnessing the barbarians’ attack methods. That pure manifestation of strength definitely shocked him endlessly.
The people from Tiger Cliff Castle were still hiding on giant trees. There were a lot of giant trees here. According to XinFeng’s estimation, they would definitely not grow to such a sturdy height in a few thousand years. There were hundreds of people climbing up a giant tree. If they were careful to hide, they wouldn’t be able to see anyone at all.
Actually, even if it was a giant tree, it was not very safe. There were many wild beasts that could go up the tree. There were also birds of prey in the sky. If they were not careful, they would be ambushed. Therefore, even if they went up the tree, they still needed to make a lot of traps and hunters to be on guard.
Huya Castle’s hunter whispered about the barbarians’ harvest. Lei Xingfeng found a giant tree and climbed up. He wasn’t with the hunters because he needed to cultivate. Now, every time he cultivated, he could increase his Lightning Wheel Strength by forty to fifty. His strength also increased bit by bit. After being baptized by lightning, he had already discovered that his cultivation growth rate was very slow. He didn’t have the pleasure of exploding, but he was still very patient.
Grandpa had a sentence that Lei Xingfeng had always remembered in his heart. Any cultivation required great patience and unremitting efforts. Especially for cultivators in this world, due to age restrictions, if they were unable to increase their strength in a limited period of time, once their bodies aged, then everything would be too late.
XinFeng’s cultivation speed was already extremely fast. This was because he had a Lightning Seal in his body, and he had more capital than other cultivators. Even if a single attribute cultivator could increase his LunLi by more than twenty times a day, XinFeng had already reached forty or even fifty.
Just cultivating Lun Li was not enough. XinFeng had to cultivate the newly cultivated Lun Li until he completely met his requirements.
The sky gradually darkened. Lei Xingfeng had already finished cultivating. He quickly left and climbed to the giant tree where the Huya Castle Hunter was. He did not want to spend the night alone. Hu Cangya saw Lei Xingfeng return and said, “Feng, rest first. There is no need for you to watch tonight. Haha, you are our main hunter. It will depend on your performance tomorrow.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded in agreement. There were enough men. He didn’t need to go to the vigil. He climbed to where Ke Dashan was. After sitting down, he let out a sigh of relief and said, “Uncle Ke, I’m back.”
Ke Dashan said, “Take the time to eat something. It will be dark soon. Nanshan found a tree hole. After eating, you go to the tree hole to sleep.”
…
Early in the morning, Lei Xingfeng came out of the tree hole. Last night, he did not sleep well. All kinds of wild beasts almost howled all night. He walked out of the tree hole and saw Ke Dashan, who was guarding not far away. He said, “Uncle Ke, did you sleep well?”
Ke Dashan cursed, “One night … I almost didn’t fall asleep. All the fucking beasts went crazy and kept howling.”
Lei Xingfeng looked at Ke Dashan’s dark circles and had nothing to say. He did not sleep well either. Conan Shan said, “I have rarely seen such a lively night. It seems like all the wild beasts have gone crazy.”
Hu Cangya climbed up and said, “What’s so strange? The barbarians have hunted so many barbarian cows. They must peel off their skin and bones at night and harvest fresh meat. It’s strange that those wild beasts are not crazy. The barbarians are in groups. They are not afraid, but they make us unable to sleep.”
XinFeng suddenly understood, and said, “No wonder, no wonder, once this bloody smell is released, it will indeed seduce a large number of wild beasts.”
Hu Yi quickly climbed up the giant tree from the ground and quickly arrived at Hu Cangya’s side. He said, “Patriarch, this is bad!”
Hu Cangya said, “What’s wrong?”
Hu Yi hurriedly said, “The barbarians are coming towards us. They are already very close!”
Hu Cangya’s face immediately turned pale. He shouted, “Hurry up! Hide! Everyone, don’t say anything. All the women, hide in the tree hole.”
There were many tree holes in the giant tree, big and small. The big ones could hide more than ten people, and the small ones could hide in three or five people. In just a few minutes, all the women hid in the tree holes. All the other hunters were armed and hidden in the leaves. No one dared to expose them. Once the barbarians discovered them, it would be very troublesome. Hunters were also barbarians’ hunting targets.
Huya Castle’s hunters were all gathered on a giant tree. Once discovered, they were better prey than barbarians because barbarians liked to capture hunters alive. Not only could they bring them back to work, but when food was scarce, these hunters would become food.
Sometimes, barbarians would rather give up a large prey than capture a hunter. Of course, barbarians rarely went to human gathering areas to hunt. That would cause a strong backlash, and it would also cause large-scale revenge.
Lei Xingfeng heard heavy footsteps and knew that the barbarians were carrying heavy loads.
Although the barbarians were tall and sturdy, when they walked in the forest, they were silent. However, once they successfully hunted and carried their prey, they did not care. Not only did they have heavy footsteps, they also let out threatening roars from time to time, in order to deter the wild beasts that were preparing to sneak attack in the surroundings.
The barbarians’ strength was indeed abnormal. Lei Xingfeng saw a barbarian dragging two bulls forward step by step. There were almost thirty-seven or eight barbarians. Forty bulls were not skinned and skinned, but were completely dragged away by the barbarians. However, the wounds on the bulls’ bodies still had a large amount of blood flowing out. No wonder they attracted so many wild beasts to follow them.
There were many wild beasts following the barbarians, including a group of leopards. They were running on trees, ready to pounce at any time.
The most deadly thing was the path the barbarians took. They passed under the giant tree where the Huya Castle people were. Seeing them appear, every hunter’s heart began to beat wildly. Everyone clenched their weapons tightly, praying in their hearts that the barbarians would be able to pass smoothly and not discover themselves.
The barbarians didn’t find the hunters on the giant tree, but the wild beasts that followed them, especially the group of leopards, discovered the hunters on the tree.
A few leopards immediately pounced on him.
Hu Cangya’s eyes darkened. He was extremely angry and hateful. His hands and feet were ice-cold, and his face turned green. He knew that it was over. There were more than twenty big leopards in that pack.
Beasts were also bullies. They didn’t dare to attack the barbarians, but when they discovered the hunters, they immediately became excited. They didn’t care what their prey was, as long as they could easily hunt for food, they wouldn’t let go.
Lei Xingfeng’s expression was similarly unsightly. He was the main hunter, and he had the same responsibility for the safety and command of the hunting squad.
It was impossible for the barbarians to be concealed from such a big commotion. Immediately, a few barbarians stared at the giant tree and quickly discovered the hunter on it. There was no way to conceal it anymore. The fight with the leopard immediately exposed the hunter’s figure.
At this point, nothing mattered anymore. The most important thing was not to be in chaos. If the hunters were to be in chaos, then they would not be far from death.
Lei Xingfeng shouted, “Some people block the big leopard, others … kill the barbarians with me!” The barbarians saw the hunters, just like the perverts saw the beauties, the hungry ghosts saw the meat, and without any hesitation, they would pounce on them.
Sure enough, when the barbarians saw the people on the giant tree clearly, they revealed their sharp teeth and let out a chi sound. The sound was so loud that even the woman hiding in the tree hole trembled in fear.
A barbarian let go of the chain in his hand that was dragging the bull and pulled out a short spear from his back. The barbarian’s weapon was similar to a hunter’s. The difference between the two was that the barbarian’s weapon was bigger and thicker. The barbarian shouted loudly and raised his hand to throw out the short spear.
