The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Lightning Detonating Needle (2)
Feng couldn’t help but say, “Good fellow! This thing is amazing!” After cultivating Lun Li, it was indeed different. Whether it was strength or toughness of the body, it had been greatly improved.

Lei Xing Yao applauded and said, “Wow, that’s amazing. I’ll go get the arrow.” She ran back to her room and came out with a pot of arrows. There were a total of ten arrows. They were also made by the old man. They were made of steel arrows wood. The arrows were made of pure steel the length of a finger. They were very heavy. One arrow weighed one jin. It was not something an ordinary hard bow could fire. It was something that could only be used with a black bow.

He picked up the quiver and backpack and carried the black bow. Only then did A Feng bid farewell to the old man and the little sister. He came to the cliff alone. Uncle Ke and the other three were already waiting there.

Sufficient food must be stored before the onset of the cold season, Every family in Huya Castle had one or two hunters, and some families did not have hunters. They grew cassava and rice, stored large amounts of food in a warm season, exchanged food for some prey, and relied on a variety of wildlife within a radius of several hundred miles of Huya Castle. Life in Huya Castle was not difficult.

When Ke Dashan saw Lei Xingfeng come over, he smiled and said, “Feng, how is it? Are you afraid?” On the first hunt, the old hunter would always ask.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Uncle Ke, Uncle Nanshan, Uncle Shi, I’m not afraid. Haha, I’ll be with everyone in the future.”

Ke Dashan, Ke Nanshan, Ke Shi, and the three of them were very famous in Huya Castle. The three of them almost watched Lei Xingfeng grow up and liked him very much. Ke Dashan patted Lei Xingfeng’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go. This time, we won’t go far. Let’s just move around near Huya Castle and see what we can get.”

The four of them arrived at the bulge on the cliff and sat down in the basket in the small stone fortress. Under the sound of wheels, they gradually descended to the bottom of the cliff.

This was the first time XinFeng had come to Tiger Cliff Castle in his life. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go out, but that he couldn’t leave Tiger Cliff Castle without an adult child. Apart from all sorts of ferocious beasts, there were also barbarians in this area. If he wasn’t an adult hunter, entering the forest would be akin to courting death.

Every year, hunters would die in Tiger Cliff Castle, so the hunting squad was very cautious. If they were weak, they would hunt near Tiger Cliff Castle. Only exceptionally powerful hunters would dare to hunt in the distance. Since XinFeng had joined them, Ke Dashan decided to hunt near XinFeng first. After testing XinFeng’s strength, he could decide where to hunt.

As a rookie, XinFeng didn’t have the right to speak. He couldn’t say that he was strong enough to hunt in the distance. Hunters were very practical, and even impractical hunters were dead.

Although Lei Xingfeng was a newbie, he had lived in Huya Castle for three years. He had seen many things. He was not a child, so he knew more things than the people here. He had his own thoughts and his own understanding of the world.

Four short steel spears were stabbed into Ke Dashan’s back. He was holding a two-foot-long mountain chopper in his hand. This is to open the way, Ke Nan Shan was a strong man. He carried a steel spear, a bow, and a quiver on his back. Ke Shi carried a large leather shield. This was made of steel and wood. The outer layer was made of barbarian cowhide and long-haired wild leather. His defense was pretty good. As a team defender, Ke Shi was extremely strong. His weapon was a two-and-a-half foot long triangular steel spike.

As a pure archer, Lei Xingfeng was mainly responsible for long-range attacks. The four members of the squad basically had a clear division of labor.

Ke Dashan opened the path ahead, and Ke Shi followed closely behind. Once there were wild beasts, he was responsible for blocking them. Ke Nan Shan held his spear and followed Lei Xingfeng.

XinFeng carried a black bow. Apart from ten special arrows, he also had a few arrows made of ordinary steel and wood. The arrows were just ordinary iron arrows, and could only shoot ordinary prey. He was powerless against those powerful wild beasts.

Apart from clearing the way, Ke Dashan had always been paying attention to XinFeng. From time to time, he would whisper reminders and impart some basic hunting knowledge to XinFeng. In fact, XinFeng had long since learned the relevant knowledge. As long as he practiced it, he would quickly enter the role.

The four of them quickly entered the boundless primeval forest.

…

Lei Xingfeng’s eyes were dazzling. After entering the forest, his only feeling was dazzling.

It seemed that there were animals everywhere, and sounds could be heard everywhere. This was because after cultivating the Thunder Wheel Force, he had brought him this kind of ability. Whether it was his hearing, sight, senses, or strength, it increased in all directions. This caused him to feel extremely chaotic. He had not yet fully adapted to the changes after comprehensively increasing his Thunder Wheel Force.

Every hunting squad had their own hunting grounds. The hunting grounds chosen by Ke Dashan were a pond. All animals had to drink water, so the pond was a good hunting ground. Of course, this place was also extremely dangerous. Who knew what kind of powerful wild beasts would come. Some wild beasts were not something ordinary hunters could deal with.

This was a kidney-shaped pond. There was a large shoal. Based on Lei Xingfeng’s size, it was almost a square kilometre. Some of it went deep into the forest. When he approached the pond, Lei Xingfeng was already extremely uneasy. He could clearly feel the dangerous aura ahead.

This was one of the best hunting grounds near Huya Castle. As he approached the pond, Ke Dashan signaled for everyone to stop. He whispered, “South Mountain, Little Stone, A-Feng, watch out, I’ll climb up the tree …” He inserted the mountain chopper into his belt and leaped onto a thick tree, climbing up like an ape.

Lei Xingfeng held a specially made arrow in his hand and held a black bow in his other hand. The surroundings were filled with dense branches and leaves. He could not see far away at all. However, he could clearly sense the movements of the surroundings by relying on the wheel power he cultivated. He could not escape his keen senses. He tried his best to adapt.

Ke Shi placed the shield in front of him, tightly holding the triangular steel spike in his hand. He tilted his head and listened hard to the movements ahead. The three of them formed a triangular defensive formation, each responsible for the front, waiting for news from Ke Dashan.

Moments later, Ke Dashan quietly climbed down the tree and whispered, “Follow me!”

Very quickly, the four of them arrived in front of a huge ancient tree. Lei Xingfeng looked up and asked in surprise, “Is there a tree house here?”

Ke Dashan nodded and said, “This is a hidden place. As long as the hunters come here to hunt, most of them will know about this place. Let’s go up and have a rest. Evening is the time for hunting.” As he spoke, he climbed up first.

XinFeng carried his longbow and climbed up.

The treehouse was about twenty meters away from the ground. It was a very high place, and no one knew who had built it. Although it was simple and crude, it could block the wind and rain. The treehouse also extended out a small wooden platform, allowing one to clearly see the activities of the animals beside the pond.

XinFeng saw a large group of barbarian cows drinking water at a glance. He was pleasantly surprised and said, “Barbarian cows!”

Ke Nanshan smiled and said, “Don’t even think about it. Even barbarians don’t dare to provoke such a large group of barbarian bulls. Once this thing goes crazy, hehe, no one dares to block it … As long as it doesn’t deviate from their charge, then it will be dead.”

Lei Xingfeng stared at the barbarian cattle with envy. As long as he hunted a barbarian cow, his harvest would be huge. He couldn’t help but feel eager to try.

Ke Shi had always been quiet. He said, “Don’t dream!”

Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t you want to kill a bull?”

“Impossible,” Ke Dashan explained. “To kill a barbarian bull, you need at least 15 to 30 people. You have to set up a trap. The terrain is even more favorable. Most importantly, someone has to seduce a barbarian bull. It’s too dangerous. No one will provoke a barbarian bull unless absolutely necessary.”

Ke Nanshan also explained, ‘”The barbarian bull’s skin is too thick and tough. Weapons are hard to pierce, and there are very few weaknesses on its body. There are also very few points of attack. For example, the barbarian bull’s eyes are weak, there are weaknesses under its abdomen, and there are weaknesses in the middle of the two protruding parts of its back. However, it is very difficult for you to attack. Thus, a hunting squad consisting of a few people will avoid the barbarian bull when they encounter the herd.”

Lei Xingfeng was not convinced. He probed, “Can’t we attack from the tree?”

Ke Dashan patiently explained, “Even if you attack a weak point, if you don’t have a certain amount of strength, you still can’t pierce through the hide of a barbarian cowhide …”

Conan Shan said, “Even if your strength can pierce through it … it may not be enough to kill you in one shot. If you can’t attack the second time, then the bull is already out of range. Feng, you don’t want to hunt the bull, do you? Haha, ambition is not bad, but you have to act according to your strength.” The three of them disagreed, believing that Lei Xingfeng was overestimating himself.

XinFeng no longer argued, but quietly watched the barbarian cattle drinking water by the pond.

Ke Dashan said, “Feng, come over and eat something. Rest for a while. In the evening, we still need to go hunting. Raise our spirits and stamina. Otherwise … it will be very dangerous.”

Lei Xingfeng returned to the treehouse and took out dried meat from his backpack. He tore at it bit by bit and finished his food. Ke Dashan lay down and closed his eyes to rest. Ke Nanshan and Ke Shi leaned against the wooden pillars and closed their eyes. Only Lei Xingfeng returned to the wooden platform and was still observing the barbarian cattle.

He was still unwilling to give up, hoping to kill a barbaric bull. He had great confidence in his Lunli. If he could find an opportunity, he would definitely attack without hesitation.

At this moment, the barbarian cattle began to move. Lei Xingfeng looked back at the tree house and felt extremely regretful. He knew that there was no chance to attack. He sighed and took off the black bow on his back and placed it beside him. He thought to himself, “We can only wait until evening to see what we can get this time.”

Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng noticed that a small herd of bulls was heading in his direction. He immediately became excited and hurriedly returned to the tree house. He said, “There’s a herd of bulls coming! Wake up … The herd of bulls is coming!”

Ke Dashan said lazily, “Nothing strange. There are at least a dozen barbaric cows in a herd. You can’t deal with them.” He didn’t even open his eyes.

XinFeng said, “How do I know if I don’t try? I’ll deal with it!”

Ke Nan Shan couldn’t help but laugh, “Haha, this little fellow is really energetic. Alright, let’s see how A Feng hunts.” The three of them stood up with a smile and came to the platform, sincerely wanting to see how the stubborn child was defeated.
