The Great Seminary

Chapter 35 Big Prey, Small Misunderstanding

Zhang Gui has had a very good habit since his previous life: trusting professionals.

And a young boy who was born with the wisdom of an adult because of time travel.

When I was a child, I met an old mountain villager who was nearly seventy years old. He was stubborn, poor but loyal, and obviously had not read much and did not seem to have much knowledge.

More than ten years have passed since then, and the old mountain man has always maintained this image, which is true and genuine.

But doesn't this represent his passionate youth decades ago, when he was a professional thug who killed people without blinking an eye and a professional at breaking into villages and rebelling?

Now it seems obviously not.

Zhang Gui was silent for a while, then nodded and said:

"Your method is very good and professional, but I can't do it.

Because I don’t like to be the bad guy first.

That goes against my moral compass.

Let's put it this way, since you think it's difficult to catch enough 'fish' relying solely on the number of mountain people in Xuanzhi Mountain.

Then don't make up rumors about treasure.

Let’s change to selling wild delicacies.

I remember when I was a child, my uncle killed a male tiger and sold its fur alone for more than thirty taels of pure gold.

And bear skin can also be sold for about twenty taels of gold.

It's late today, so you should first convey my words to the people in the tribe and let them prepare.

Tomorrow I will go to the mountains to hunt down wild beasts.

Selling wild delicacies attracts bad-intentioned scumbags."

"Yes, Dashi Jinxing." Old Sang Gui nodded.

After giving the order, Zhang Gui left the Mushroom Valley and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

The forest is eerie at night, with the chirping of insects and the roaring of beasts filling the ears.

Fortunately, the wild beasts near Mushroom Valley had long been killed, and only wolves appeared occasionally.

Zhang Gui has been close to his uncle since he was a child. He would occasionally sleep in Mushroom Valley when he was young and knew that there was no danger around there at night.

However, he still used his 'Master of Soldiers' ability, transformed into a semi-metallic state, and leaped forward cautiously.

Just as he was about to leave Xuanzhi Mountain, a powerful crossbow suddenly shot straight at his heart.

Hit the target and pierce the flesh.

Then there was a whoosh sound of strong wind.

The sound of wind reaches my ears.

A skinny figure holding a thin sword shaped like a bee sting flew towards Zhang Gui and stabbed him.

"Hit, hit, this monster was stabbed in the heart by Swordsman Liu!"

"He's definitely going to die this time, Second Young Master is really lucky.

I've only been in Siyang County for two days and I've already caught a big prey!"

"I think it's a big grass fungus monster, a male one at that.

I will skin him and make a cloak from him, remove his bones and make bone arrows from him, and then soak his penis in wine, which will be a perfect gift to the master as a filial tribute."

Not far away, the Qisifeng lantern lit up and a burst of noisy compliments came.

But unfortunately, their prey, Zhang Gui, was not killed by the flying sword.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the skinny swordsman's rapier was stuck in his muscles, he suddenly grabbed the skinny swordsman's shoulders with both arms.

Countless scorching steam gushed out from Zhang Gui's pores, not only burning the swordsman's flesh and blood and causing him to scream miserably, but also hiding his figure.

"This monster emits white smoke, quickly protect the young master, quickly, quickly!"

The group of thugs who were hunting with Young Master Yangzi not far away saw that something was wrong and started to scream in fear instead of joy.

However, the young master who was surrounded by them did not panic.

Calmly ordered:
“This Xuanzhi Mountain is located between two provinces. Even if Linpi Town had not been built, it would have been a well-known place.

There may be some small monsters, but the big monsters have long gone.

What are you afraid of?

Go and see how Swordsman Liu is doing."

What he said made sense, but the servants around him, though strong and capable of some basic martial arts, didn't dare to provoke the demon. No one would move unless they were called out.

The young master frowned, clearly somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not force his followers. He asked the two guards on either side of him:

"Master Long, Master Li, how about you both go and take a look?"

One of the two guards was nine feet tall and had a strong physique. His fists were as big as small copper hammers when clenched, and he had dark golden brass knuckles on his fingers. He should be a dragon boxer.

A thin man wearing a Taoist robe with a yin-yang fish pattern and a gloomy face is Li Zajia.

The two exchanged glances.

Li Zajia said, "In that case, I'll use 'Ru Deng Yan' to see."

Then close your eyes, pinch your fingers with one hand, point to your eyebrows, and then run your fingers horizontally across your eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Zajia's pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle tip, flashing with a faint white light.

He looked forward carefully for a while, sighed and said:
"Second Young Master, the monster has already run away with Swordsman Liu."

"Oh, what should I do then?"

What to do? The ball is dead.

Although everyone around had the same answer in their minds, no one said it that way.

A middle-aged man with an honest appearance beside the young master said sincerely:

"Master, there's no need to worry too much.

Swordsman Liu is very skilled in land travel and can cross forests and mountains as easily as walking on flat ground.

With the sword in his hand and the ox-power crossbow in his hand, a ninth-grade swordsman can exert the power of an eighth-grade swordsman with a double move.

What does a mere little demon matter?

He must be going to hunt him down.

It was getting late and the wind was strong.

Let's go back to the village and wait for Swordsman Liu to return with a full load.

"That makes sense." The young master seemed relieved after hearing this, "Let's go back to the village now."

Deep in the dense forest, under the dim moon.

Zhang Gui broke the limbs of the swordsman who attacked him.

Then he stretched out his finger, inserted it into the wound on the swordsman's shoulder socket, pinched the blood vessel, and introduced the hot steam bit by bit.

Torture the body and destroy the spirit.

Liu Jianshi was in so much pain that his whole body curled up into a ball.

If his jaw hadn't been removed, he would have chewed his tongue to pieces and screamed until his throat was broken.

Feeling that the time was right, Zhang Gui pulled his finger out of the wound on the swordsman's shoulder.

Wiped the blood on his neck.

He waited patiently until Liu Jianshi stopped shaking violently, then fixed his jaw and asked coldly:
"Tell me, who are you?

Why would you kill me for no reason?"

Liu Jianshi was a coward who wanted to survive even in such a desperate situation. He hurriedly explained while panting:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding.

My friend, I am a bodyguard from the Rong family in Shuangshuanghu. I am here to accompany the second young master of the family to hunt in the mountains.

When I saw you, I thought you were a plant demon, so I attacked you.

No, I didn't expect you to be human.

Look, look at your appearance as a demon transformed from a human. Either you have practiced some extraordinary arts or skills, or you have awakened the divine cluster.

Our Second Young Master, the kind of person we love to make friends with most is someone like you, a unique person."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking you now.

Who would go hunting in the mountains so late at night and act so stealthily?

There was a glimmer of light and no human voice before I was shot.

As a result, after being ambushed, so many old people were holding lanterns and talking. They must have used Yanxi's treasure.

Who would use such a treasure just to hunt a few wild wolves or roe deer in the mountains?"
