The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Huya Castle’s Sensation (1)
After cultivating Lei Lunli, he was going to kill someone? XinFeng was puzzled by this.

The old man said, “The Thunder Wheel Force is irritable. Killing people has a cathartic effect. People who cultivate the Thunder Wheel Force … will have many enemies. Well, of course, you can also vent your emotions in other ways. As long as you can neutralize the disadvantages of cultivating the Thunder Wheel Force, no matter what, this is also a major drawback of cultivating the Thunder Wheel Force.”

Lei Xingfeng had only cultivated more than forty thunder wheels, so the impact of thunder wheels on him wasn’t too great. Once he cultivated a hundred thunder wheels, his effects would gradually appear.

The old man said, “Killing someone before a hundred rounds of power. Haha, it will be extremely beneficial for you to control the lightning power.”

XinFeng was completely unable to understand, but he did not resist. Otherwise, he would not have killed decisively in the wild. This was also due to the influence of the Tiger Cliff Fort people. He had seen too many hunters die at the hands of the Hawk-Collar Hunters. One of the sons of Aunt Qing, who had given Man Niu a hard skin, had died at the hands of the Hawk-Collar, so he had no psychological burden to kill.

Even if he couldn’t understand it, Lei Xingfeng still accepted it completely. In this world, it couldn’t be measured by the moral standards of his previous life.

He said, “Grandpa, I shot two bulls this time. Unfortunately, I met a hunter from the Eagle Colony. Most of the meat was left in the treehouse. I wonder if there is a chance to retrieve it. I brought back a complete piece of barbaric leather and horns, and a lot of meat. Uncle Ke and the others took good care of it and gave most of it to me.”

The old man said indifferently, “It’s fine as long as you eat enough. Your current task is not to hunt as many as you want, but to seize the time to cultivate. After you reach the hundred rounds of strength, you can still go hunting even in the cold season.”

Lei Xingfeng was surprised, “Hunting in the cold season? That would freeze people to death!”

The old man said, “You are no longer an ordinary person. Once you cultivate the Lightning Wheel Force, you will be stronger than all ordinary people. You cannot be measured according to your previous ideas!”

XinFeng said, “Alright, I’m not used to it.”

The old man laughed loudly and said, “Slowly, you will get used to it. Seize the time to cultivate.”

Lei Xing Yao came back from outside the door. She had a small basket in her hand and was carrying a lot of wild vegetables. Every year, she had to pick a lot of wild vegetables. Besides eating, she also had to dry them in the sun. When she ate them in the cold season, she saw a few big baskets and knew that her brother was back. She rushed into the room excitedly and dived into Lei Xingfeng’s arms. She had not seen him for only two days and was already very unused to it. She said, “Big brother!”

XinFeng smiled as he hugged her and said, “I’m picking wild vegetables again. I won’t need too much this year. I’ll bring back a lot of meat.”

“I like wild vegetables,” said Lei Xing Yao. As he spoke, he came out of Lei Xingfeng’s arms and said, “I’m going to tidy up. Today, I picked a lot of fine red fruits. I’m going to hang them outside to dry!” Fine red fruit is a kind of fruit similar to hawthorn. It can be stored for a long time after being dried in the sun. This kind of fruit and meat can be cooked together to make the meat incomparably tender. It is a kind of seasoning. At this season, almost all women and children will go to pick it.

The little girl was very diligent. She hung a string of fine red fruits on a rope to dry. After finishing, she went to tidy up the wild beef brought back by Lei Xingfeng and hung it under the eaves to dry. This was the staple food of the cold season.

Looking at the little girl who was as busy as a little bee, Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but sigh. A little girl over six years old had already started to control the entire family. Fortunately, the people in this world had excellent physiques and great strength. Even if the little girl was only six years old, lifting fifty to sixty kilograms of stuff was like playing, it wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Less than an hour after arriving home, Ke Dashan and the others came to the door.

XinFeng asked curiously, “Uncle Ke, can I help you?”

Ke Dashan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Are you really resting at home? Come back with us. There’s still so much meat in the tree house. It would be a pity if you didn’t bring it back.”

XinFeng said, “Didn’t you say that the people from Eagle Collar invaded?”

Conan Shan said, “Even if they invade, we still have to prepare food for the cold season. Otherwise … what should we do?”

The old man said, “Feng, go. We have Yaoyao and I at home. Don’t worry.” He also knew that once the cold season arrived, food would be a big problem. In the past, he relied on the two children to find food. He didn’t want to starve the child after a meal. However, his injuries needed to be recuperated. He definitely couldn’t go hunting. Once his injuries worsened, it would be over. How could he be at ease leaving the two children behind?

Lei Xingfeng said, “Alright!” The four of them each carried an empty basket and walked out together.

After giving Yao Yao a few instructions, although the little girl was reluctant, she knew that her brother was doing it for the food of the cold season. She waved her hand obediently. Ke Dashan sighed and said, “My daughter is not as obedient as Yao Yao. She knows how to eat all day long and is almost lazy to death.”

“Because of your diligent father,” Conan said, “your daughter is enjoying herself.”

Lei Xingfeng didn’t want to say more. In the past, he didn’t have the ability. Now, as long as he was diligent, he believed that he had the ability to feed his grandfather and sister.

…

The four of them rushed all the way to the treehouse. It was already dark, and they were almost running wildly. They knew that if it was dark and they were still on the road, it would be too dangerous.

A few of the traps Ke Nan Shan had set up on the tree had been broken. Several wild beasts that tried to get meat from the tree house had suffered a great loss. Therefore, the barbaric beef in the tree house had not suffered any losses. Fortunately, they had returned quickly. If it had been a night, there probably wouldn’t have been much left.

Ke Dashan said, “Nan Shan, Ke Shi, go rearrange the trap. Feng, watch out.” He had already discovered that XinFeng was smart and was a good scout for alerts.

XinFeng nodded and said, “I’ll go up.”

Ke Dashan said, “If you find anything, let out a whistle.”

Lei Xingfeng quickly climbed onto the tree branch he cultivated last night. After he sat down, he started cultivating. He knew that there shouldn’t be any dangerous situations at this time. He took advantage of the time to cultivate and reach the hundred rounds of strength as soon as possible. The old man said that once he had the hundred rounds of strength, he could hunt in the cold season. This was very important to him.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Just as Ke Dashan and the others were tidying up the leftover beef, Another hunting squad came. They were also Huya Castle’s hunting squad. There were a total of seven people. Under Ke Dashan’s guidance, they arrived at the treehouse. Immediately, the small treehouse was packed with people. Their prey was not much. Compared to Ke Dashan’s group, the hunting squad’s luck and strength were much weaker. They were only hunting some wild chickens and rabbits.

In the eyes of the people of this world, pheasants and rabbits could not be considered staple food at all. An ordinary person could easily eat three or four pheasants at a meal. It was simply not enough to eat. It was completely different from eating wild beef. Therefore, being able to hunt large animals, this hunter could be considered qualified.

Looking at the barbaric beef hanging all over the treehouse, the people of the seven-man hunting squad were all jealous. The leader, Hu Daniu, said, “Heavens, you actually hit a barbaric bull! Dashan, what … what happened to you?”

Ke Dashan chuckled and said, “Old Hu, it’s not one. It’s two bulls!”

The sounds of breathing echoed out. The seven people’s gazes at Ke Dashan changed. They were joking. If they could catch barbaric cows, they wouldn’t need too many. A few barbaric cows would be enough to safely survive the cold season. As long as they hunted other small animals, they would be able to survive. What was more important than safely surviving the cold season? Hunters in this world, being able to have enough food was a happy thing.

Although Hu Daniu was suspicious in his heart, seeing so many wild beef with his own eyes didn’t seem to be fake. He smiled and said, “Hehe, Dashan, did you kill it yourself? This thing … isn’t something that a few people can kill … Oh right, why don’t you have horns and hides?”

Conan Shan said, “I’ve already sent him back.” As he spoke, he secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they had returned. Otherwise, the remaining beef would have been cheaper for this group of fellows.

Hu Xiaohu was Hu Daniu’s cousin. He was the strongest hunter in Hu Daniu’s team and was on par with Ke Nanshan. He said, “How did you kill two bulls?” He still didn’t believe it. He couldn’t help but be jealous. It was too eye-catching. It was already the late hunting stage. If he couldn’t raise enough meat, he would be hungry in the cold season. No one wanted to be hungry.

Hu Daniu’s mouth twitched, but in the end, he did not stop him. This kind of questioning was rather rude. This involved the secret methods of the hunter, but he also wanted to know.

Ke Dashan said, “This, hehe, this … Little Tiger, this is all up to you.”

There was a middle-aged bearded man in the Hu Daniu team. His hair was already white, and the hunters were all called Hu Baitou. He was the last to climb up. He noticed that the atmosphere was a little off. When he saw Lei Xingfeng, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Feng, you went out hunting too. Haha, time passed really quickly.”

Lei Xingfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Uncle White-Headed, are you on this team?” He had never known that Baitou Hu was in this hunting squad. Baitou Hu had helped him and gave him some food when he was in trouble.

Hu Baitou said, “Didn’t I say that last time? If you want to join the hunting squad, come and find me. So you joined the squad of the Great Mountain.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Uncle White-Headed, I … I don’t want to make it difficult for you.” He knew very well that Baitou Hu was only an ordinary member of the team. Bring someone along to join. He didn’t mean it, but he had to get the consent of most of the members of the team. Baitou Hu found it very difficult to do this.

There were more than a thousand people in Tiger Cliff Castle. Although most of them looked familiar, XinFeng only knew a few hundred people. Furthermore, he could not figure out the composition of each hunting team.

Hu Daniu and Hu Xiaohu didn’t know Lei Xingfeng, so they certainly looked familiar when they met.

Lei Xingfeng was always grateful to those who had helped him. He pulled Hu Baitou to the side and whispered, “Uncle White Head, how long have you been out?”

Hu Baitou sighed and whispered, “The journey has been unsmooth. We are too powerful to move, and there are few small animals. We’ve only been out for three days. If we can’t kill a bigger prey, we’ll lose this hunt.”

XinFeng hesitated for a moment. Of course, he understood what Baitou Hu meant. He was not really sixteen years old, and his thoughts were much more complicated than those of these hunters. After all, the people here seldom came into contact with the outside world, and they maintained an extremely simple custom. They rarely cheated.

“Uncle White-Headed, I killed those two bulls.”

“What? You killed him!”
