Chapter 22 Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Boldness

"Is it Tianyuan Martial Arts School?"

Walking out of the tent, Chen Sanshi recalled the conversation just now.

Since it was Tianyuan Martial Arts School that caused the trouble, it means it was Qin Feng who did it.

He was actually able to ask the young master of Tianyuan to help him with things, which showed that they had a special relationship. Could it be that he had received the true teachings?

In addition, the captain asked him whether he had a grudge against the Liang family and whether he was ready to help him?

The speed of Wang Zhi's attitude change was unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it was reasonable.

The probability is that you are valuable to others.

However, Chen Sanshi took it easy and did not feel it was hypocritical.

The so-called social etiquette is that you help me and I help you.

We are not related at all, so how can there be so much true affection?
For this reason, Chen Sanshi did not really rely on Wang Zhi to help him solve this problem. He had to practice hard to improve his strength.

Return to the training ground.

Because of the loud noise he made before, everyone was looking at him in disbelief.

"Shitou, how did you do that?"

Zhu Tong was full of admiration: "I just saw that after Song Yan's second uncle heard about this, his face turned green with anger!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi was speechless.

This is another offense.

But it doesn't matter. He can't just shrink back for fear of offending others.

"I'm going home first."

Chen Sanshi didn't chat any more, he packed up and left the barracks.

It’s not cost-effective to always eat in restaurants. It’s better to buy meat and cook it yourself.

After he left, within a few hours, the story of how he had mastered spear skills overnight without any breathing techniques spread throughout the entire Poyang Zuojun Qianhu Division.

Many recruits who had originally wanted to compete for the "selected vanguard" spot collapsed psychologically and gave up, and basically turned their goal to becoming military soldiers.

It was not until two days later that people began to practice shooting.

The fastest person in this group is naturally Song Yan.

On the third day, he finally learned how to shoot with the help of breathing techniques, but he was still very frustrated.

"Second uncle, I can't compare to Chen Sanshi."

In a two-courtyard house, Song Yan lowered his head and spoke in a dejected tone.

"Even if we can't win, we still have to compete!"

Luo Dongquan said angrily: "You still have a chance before you develop your Qi and blood."

Two servants came into the yard carrying a tray.

On the tray were steaming boiled meat and offal. The most eye-catching thing was a dark yellow, elongated and slightly twisted organ.

"This is leopard courage."

Luo Dongquan said: "Bear heart and leopard gall are considered to be a tonic. From today on, you should eat one every day. It will not only nourish your body, but also help you to speed up the training of qi and blood. This leopard gall costs ten taels of silver per piece, and that kid can't afford it with his family background."

"Uncle, he's a hunter." Song Yan said, "And I heard he's a very powerful hunter."

Hearing this, Luo Dongquan couldn't help laughing.

"Hunter? Why do you think those hunters outside Poyang County are so poor that they can't even pay their taxes?

"The truly valuable things in Hutou Mountain are all in the deep mountains north of Erchong Mountain. Those prey basically won't escape, and hunters don't dare to go in casually."

"What?"

"Why? Because they are poor!"

Luo Dongquan said in a deep voice: "Poor people just need to barely survive, it is not their turn to make money, it is that simple.

"That's why I tried my best to help you climb up. Only when you climb high enough can you bully others instead of being bullied by others!"

"Second uncle, why do you have to bully others?"

Song Yan was a little confused.

"idiot!"

Luo Dongquan got angry: "Eat your guts! As for that fat guy, he's extravagant and extremely greedy. He definitely won't use real money to support that guy named Chen."

……

"call--"

After finishing a set of shooting skills combined with breathing techniques, Chen Sanshi was sweating all over and poured a bucket of cold water directly on himself.

[Kung Fu: Basic spearmanship for soldiers (not yet mastered)]

[Progress: (38/100)]

[Effect: None]

"Practicing Qi and blood is not as simple as Zhu Tong said."

He sat on the rock and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

Chen Sanshi has been practicing day and night for the past two days, but has only made this much progress. He is still a long way from truly getting started.

"Brother Shi, it's time to eat." Gu Xinlan shouted.

"coming."

Chen Sanshi came to the table, grabbed a whole piece of beef shank and started to eat it.

Gu Xinlan said distressedly: "You must be exhausted recently."

"good."

Chen Sanshi asked, "Is the family running out of money?"

"There is still one or two or three taels of silver left."

Gu Xinlan remembered every detail of the house clearly: "It can still hold on for a few more days."

"Practicing martial arts is really expensive..."

Chen Sanshi was speechless.

In just a few days, he had eaten up all the money in the house.

But even so, his body still showed signs of deficiency of qi and blood.

It seems that the meat of ordinary livestock has limited effect, and we must eat game.

Chen Sanshi said: "I will go up the mountain this afternoon."

"You want to go fight the black bear with Uncle Zhao and the others?" Gu Xinlan said nervously, "Be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

Chen Sanshi put down his bowl and chopsticks, and there was a knock on the door outside.

It was Zhao Qiao and others.

Zhao Qiao was carrying a basket of fish, Wu Da was holding a jar of honey, and there was also a young hunter with a simple and honest face, who was leading a black and gray spaniel.

After the introduction, I learned that his surname was Zhuang and his given name was Yi.

The four of them traveled together and arrived at the second mountain with ease.

"South of Erchong Mountain, there are a lot of things that can be fought, but not many valuable things."

Zhao Qiao said: "Including the black bear, it is actually in the north. Normally, it would not be our turn to attack it. But the beast has the habit of eating people, and it is very smart. "It can't afford to offend people who practice martial arts. Every year at this time, it sneaks to the south of the second mountain or the first mountain and attacks the hunters who go up the mountain to hunt."

"Even animals bully ordinary people!" Zhuang Yi was indignant.

"arrive."

Wu Da pointed ahead and said, "The incidents involving the three donkeys and several other hunters all happened in this area."

They stopped at a relatively open and flat grassland, put the bait they brought on the ground, and then hid in the woods in the distance, intending to rely on the autumn wind to spread the scent and attract black bears.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

"Let me do it."

Chen Sanshi didn't want to embarrass them before, but since this trick doesn't work, it's better not to waste time.

[Searching and disappearing (mastery)]

【Progress: 350/500】

[Effect: Amazing insight, light as a swallow]

It just so happens that I haven't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time, so I took this opportunity to improve my skills.

He had a keen eye and soon found a piece of rotten fruit peel in the nearby grass, followed by a cylindrical piece of insect feces under a bush.

For Chen Sanshi, as long as he locked down a rough range, there would be no trace that he could not find.

After he found it, the hound followed and barked excitedly, as if it was in admiration.

Why is it a bit weird to be worshipped by a dog?

"Hey, Brother Chen, you are amazing!"

Zhuang Yi said bluntly: "You are more powerful than a dog!"

"can you speak?"

Wu Da patted him on the back of his head: "Brother Shi, this is a great skill, learn from him!"

Chen Sanshi signaled for silence and continued walking forward.

After walking about four miles, they came to a valley with a stream in the middle.

From a distance, Chen Sanshi could see many traces of medium and large animals in the woods across the stream.

"The North Mountain is across the street!"

Wu Da said with emotion: "Not only are there many large animals there, but there is also a chance of encountering exotic animals, and one can make a fortune.

"Unfortunately, we have to 'avoid Jinyi' and dare not go there easily. If we offend the martial arts school disciples, we will be in big trouble!"

Chen Sanshi had heard about this before: "What does it mean to provoke?"

"There are no standards."

Zhuang Yi took over the conversation and said, "Whoever you dislike will be unlucky."

"But you are different, Brother Shi."

Wu Da said: "If you can become a military officer in the future, you won't have to be afraid of them!"

One step behind means all the steps behind.

If you can't become a flag officer, you won't even be qualified to hunt, so naturally,

Without wasting time, Chen Sanshi continued to walk westward and led a few people into a dense forest.

After entering the area, traces of the black bear's life suddenly became obvious.

There were claw marks on the tree trunks, footprints on the ground, and turned over stones.

Chen Sanshi was cautious and did not get closer, searching for the black bear.

“There is a tree hole.”

Wu Da pointed to the tree hole of an ancient tree in front of him: "But it seems to be empty."

As he spoke, he moved closer to take a look.

"Beware!"

Chen Sanshi keenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly stopped him: "Behind you!"

Almost at the same time, a huge figure emerged from the bushes and pounced behind Scarface Wu Da.

This beast has been waiting for a long time!

After entering the dense forest, he didn't hear any movement, so he didn't dare to get too close.

When Wu Da and his companions saw that the tree hole was empty, they thought that the black bear had gone out to look for food and relaxed their vigilance. Unexpectedly, the black bear was used to eating humans and would take the initiative to hunt humans!
No wonder the bait didn’t work!

"Boom-"

This black blind cat is larger than its ordinary peers. It is estimated to be about two and a half meters long and weighs at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. It can be said that if you get close to it, you will be injured or die!

Wu Da didn't even have time to take the arrow before his bow was broken into two pieces and he was about to be hit in the face by the thick bear's paw.

In a flash, a wolf-tooth arrow accurately pierced Hei Xia Zi's left eye.

"Roar--"

A shrill roar was heard.

Zhao Qiao and Zhuang Yi finally reacted and shot arrows hurriedly.

However, the four-force bows in their hands were not fully drawn due to their panic, and they only penetrated the skin and stabbed the black bear's fat, failing to cause any substantial damage. They only made the black bear completely crazy, and it pounced on them like a madman.

Zhao Qiao and Zhuang Yi were too close to each other and had no time to shoot the second arrow, so they had to run away.

The hounds were barking beside us, and we couldn't even get close.

"Come and chase me, you beast!"

Chen Sanshi said as he fired another arrow.

Since the black bear had its back facing away from him, he couldn't hit its vital parts and could only shoot at its thick skin on its back.

However, because the bow was heavy enough, half of the arrow still penetrated.

"Roar!!!"

The black blind man changed his attack targets frantically, rushing towards the person who caused him the most pain at an extremely fast speed.

It looks bulky, but it runs incredibly fast.

Wu Da and the other two were terrified: "Run!"

But soon they felt relieved.

Because Chen Sanshi was faster and as agile as a monkey, he made use of the dense forest to dodge and maneuver, and Hei Xiazi missed several times.

The arrowhead blade of the wolf tooth arrow kept cutting into its flesh and bones, dark red blood soaked its fur, and the speed gradually slowed down.

After Chen Sanshi had gained a certain distance, he drew his bow and shot his arrow again.

"Shhhhh-"

One arrow followed another, almost without interruption.

A two-stone heavy bow, pulled to its full length continuously, what kind of explosive power is this?

Zhao Qiao and his companions looked a little stunned, but they were not idle either. They used their light bows to assist on the side.

Not long after, Hei Xia Zi was hit by several arrows and his movements became sluggish.

After Chen Sanshi confirmed that he could deal with the beast without any injury, he deliberately did not shoot at its vital points. Instead, he led the opponent out of the dense forest, and while the opponent was weak, he raised his plum blossom spear and went to meet him.

How can we not make good use of such a good living target?
