Chapter 37 Tiger Hunting
North of Erchong Mountain.

Chen Sanshi's [Searching for Trace and Hiding Trace] is fully activated, and no trace can escape his eyes.

Rabbits, roe deer, goats...

If he wanted, he could carry a sheep down the mountain and go home within ten minutes.

But a wild sheep weighing over 100 kilograms can only be sold for two taels of silver.

It was good in the past, but now it is too little.

The target is a tiger, or at least some ferocious beast like a blind bear or a leopard.

Following Zhao Qiao's advice, Chen Sanshi walked towards the southwest.

Along the way, he would occasionally meet martial arts school disciples dressed in brocade robes.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Sanshi wore a cloth armor when he went up the mountain this time.

When the disciples of the martial arts school saw his armor and heavy bow, they did not dare to find fault. They basically just took a few glances and then went about their business.

"Why are there so many people?"

Chen Sanshi walked five miles and met at least a dozen people.
Even if they are hunting, they shouldn't appear in such a large number.

Moreover, many people didn't even have bows and arrows, but walked around with knives or swords, looking like they were searching for something.

Wushen Cult?
It's not like that either.

Because this group of people looked very relaxed, and judging by their clothes, most of them were disciples of Tailei Martial Arts School.

Chen Sanshi took notice of it.

A gust of wind blew by, and with his amazing hearing, he could hear clearly the conversation between the martial arts school disciples.

"White Deer!"

"The owner of the museum is injured. Whoever finds the white deer will be rewarded with property!"

"It's difficult! I heard that Bailu likes to eat medicinal herbs, and those herbs are worth more than ten taels of silver."

"..."

Chen Sanshi figured out the whole story.

On the night Qin Feng died, a battle broke out in the city.

When Xiang Tingchun and the three masters of the three martial arts halls were arresting a barbarian assassin, they encountered the Wushen Cult. Master Tai Lei was seriously injured and needed a rare beast, a white deer, to heal his wounds, so a reward was set up.

No matter what level of disciples they are, as long as they can present a white deer, they will be immediately accepted as the core disciples and can even manage part of the industry in the future. Only then will they all run to the mountains like chicken blood.

Chen Sanshi noted the characteristics of the strange beast in his mind and continued on his way.

Tailei Martial Arts School...

But I didn’t see Zhang Chao and the other guy.

Otherwise, he would have to shoot two arrows at high and low levels.

After walking another ten miles, they arrived at the halfway point of a mountain.

On the side of the winding and narrow path, there were two martial arts disciples carrying bows on their backs. One of them was carrying a seven-force bow, which was considered prohibited.

They held iron swords in their hands, looked ahead hesitantly, and hesitated to move forward.

Chen Sanshi ignored the two of them.

"Hey!"

The martial arts school disciples called out to him, "How dare you go forward? There is a big beast in the peak ahead!"

"I know."

Chen Sanshi responded perfunctorily, with no intention of stopping.

"Then why are you going? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The martial arts disciple noticed the large bow behind the newcomer, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the person next to him who was carrying the forbidden Seven Power Bow, and after getting his consent, he said, "How about we cooperate? Senior Brother Wei next to me is a master of minor blood training!"

There are tigers on this peak, and they discovered them in recent days.

However, the imperial court banned heavy bows, and their skills were limited, so they could not afford to offend them under normal circumstances.

Wei Xu took a risk to get the Seven-Force Bow, but he was not very confident that he could take down the big beast. If he were to come into close contact with it, the blood-training warrior would not be able to withstand the tiger's lethality.

It was a pleasant surprise to meet a soldier carrying two crossbows.

"This brother."

Wei Xu was full of confidence: "I have achieved a minor success in my blood training. If you and I work together, it will be no problem to take down the big worm. After the task is completed, we will split the profits 40% to 60%, with me taking 60% and you taking 40%. How about that?"

Chen Sanshi frowned as he listened, too lazy to pay any more attention and quickened his pace.

"?" Wei Xu was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that he would be treated as nothing. "Arrogant!"

"Brother Wei, what should we do if he is unwilling to cooperate?" asked the younger fellow student.

"I saw that tiger from a distance once. It was very powerful. Where does he get his confidence from?"

Wei Xu said angrily: "Let's follow him and see, maybe he was eaten by the giant insect, and we can take advantage of him from behind."

……

"This big bug has been targeted by someone else. If I had come two days later, it might have been gone."

Chen Sanshi squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of soil, and found two hard orange-yellow hairs from it, followed by claw marks, buried feces, and dried blood in the grass.

He was already familiar with this process.

Like a line, he followed the line and found a hidden cave halfway up the mountain.

The cave is about five meters in diameter and is hidden by dense grass and branches. It is easy to overlook it if you don't look carefully.

In the bushes about twenty feet outside the cave, rotten clothes and white bones can be vaguely seen. It seems that they have been dead for a long time.

"There's a 99% chance that the big bug lives inside."

Of course Chen Sanshi wouldn't be stupid enough to go in on his own initiative.

In the narrow space, the advantages of bows and spears are gone, and we have to find a way to lure the big insect out.

"call out--"

Chen Sanshi suddenly turned around and shot an arrow.

More than a hundred steps away, a roe deer jumping by was hit accurately by an arrow, leaving a trail of blood.

"hiss--"

The silly roe deer let out a shrill scream.

"call out--"

Another arrow shot at its feet.

The roe deer was frightened and fled in panic towards the cave.

Chen Sanshi deliberately did not shoot him to death.

His experience in hunting black bears told him that dead bait might not be able to attract prey.

But living is different.

Especially for ferocious beasts like tigers, they have a very strong sense of territory and will not tolerate any offense.

The beast would definitely not tolerate a creature that smells of blood running around barking in its territory.

Chen Sanshi climbed up a tree to occupy the commanding heights, and then continuously used arrows to prevent the roe deer from leaving the vicinity, forcing it to stay around the cave, with blood from its wounds flowing everywhere as it ran around.

The whole process lasted for five minutes. The huge noise scared the birds in the forest, but the dark cave was dead silent.

"Not working? That shouldn't be the case. Tigers are brutal and murderous, and they usually don't hide."

Just when Chen Shanshi was about to think of other ways, a cold wind blew through the mountains.

The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon.

coming!

A black shadow as strong as a mountain and as agile as a leopard rushed out from the silent cave. In the blink of an eye, it knocked the roe deer to the ground and bit its sharp fangs on the carotid artery without missing a beat.

After the roe deer struggled weakly for a few times, it became dead.

What a king of the mountain!
Chen Sanshi looked carefully.

The tiger was more than ten feet long and weighed at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. Its golden fur was dazzling in the sun. Its sword-like claws were stained with blood. Its orange-yellow pupils were fierce. It let out a long roar towards the sky, and the area within a radius of ten miles trembled.

No wonder ordinary people would be scared to death when they see it.

After hunting the roe deer, the big beast did not rush to eat. It was obviously not hungry. It came out simply because it felt the deer was noisy.

It bites its prey and tries to drag it back to its cave.

At this moment, the two stone bows in Chen Sanshi's hands were pulled to the full size like a full moon, and a wolf-tooth arrow whizzed out.

"boom--"

The arrow collided with the tiger's skull, making a dull sound, and was finally stuck, piercing the skull but failing to cause fatal damage to the brain stem!

Isn't this tiger close to a strange beast? !
"Roar--"

The tiger felt the pain, roared, and broke the arrow on its forehead with one claw, then rushed towards the attacker with gusts of wind.
