Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 19: Hunting Basics
Yang Gan was overjoyed upon hearing this. He immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "I will definitely fulfill your orders, General."

Zhang Shuyang showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and said coldly, "If you can't bring it back, you will be executed according to military law!"

Yang Gan felt a chill in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and agree: "Yes!"
-
"Use the terrain and surrounding environment to conceal your movements. For example, you can approach your prey along the back of a hillside, at the bottom of a valley, or in dense woods to avoid being exposed in open areas.

The footprints of different prey species include their shape, size, depth, and time of leaving. By observing the direction and spacing of the footprints, one can determine the prey's walking speed and general direction.

Having said that, Fang Mushan, who was half-kneeling on the ground observing the traces, stood up and exhaled, then looked at Xu Yunfan with a serious expression and nodded slightly.

Xu Yunfan has been very good at learning these days, and he can even apply what he has learned to other situations. Fang Mushan feels a little frustrated.

Xu Yunfan nodded and glanced at a system prompt that appeared in his field of vision.

"After listening to Fang Mushan's explanation of hunting techniques, you have gained some insights into hunting and seem to have glimpsed the threshold of hunting."

Xu Yunfan said, "Why don't we try hunting separately?"

Fang Mushan nodded when he heard this: "Although the 800-li Huangchuan Icefield looks desolate and lonely at first glance, with continuous ice and snow-capped mountains, there are still animals living underground. The chances of catching prey separately are greater."

That being said, the 800-li Arakawa Glacier is too desolate. In the past few days, Fang Mushan has caught very few prey, and the only big catch is two snow rabbits.

Unfortunately, for those who practice martial arts, it is not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

After separating from Fang Mushan, Xu Yunfan held a homemade bow in his hand. Although he didn't know what the tree was called, Fang Mushan made it very finely, with a hard texture and not lacking in toughness.

The bowstring is made of tanned fiber from a plant called alpine willow.

"You tracked an animal's footprints and initially determined its direction of travel. Your hunting proficiency has improved."

"you……"

I glanced at the several information prompts on the horizon.

Xu Yunfan naturally knew that his approach was correct.

His eyes kept jumping, not missing any details around him.

The cold wind from the Arakawa Ice Field whistled past, carrying coarse sand and gravel, which lashed his face. His tattered clothes were blown by the wind, making him shiver slightly.

Xu Yunfan rubbed his hands, and with his swift steps, he moved forward along the rugged mountain road with agile and agile body. His footsteps were light and quick, without making any unnecessary noise.

After nearly two hours, Xu Yunfan finally saw a resting mountain goat beside an inconspicuous piece of brown earth and stone that almost blended in with the surrounding environment.

To be precise, it is a plateau blue sheep whose fur glows with a unique luster in the sunlight.

Although it is perched, its body is agile and alert. Even when perched, its ears tremble slightly from time to time, as if it can sense danger and run away in the next second.

Xu Yunfan was instantly delighted, and facing the prey, he quickly dispelled all the fatigue from the journey.

His hand slowly reached for the bow and arrow behind him, feeling the slight pricking sensation. Every nerve in his body was tense, and he stared intently at the mountain goat's every move.

This arrow was only lightly tied with some fluff and was made by Fang Mushan.

He carefully put the arrow on and drew the bow. The bowstring, which was made of vegetable tanning and was quite strong, was pulled apart little by little, making a slight "creaking" sound.

As he tensed his arm muscles, the bow became like a full moon, and the arrow tip was aimed steadily at the vital point of the mountain goat.

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed, and he loosened his fingers suddenly. With a whoosh, the feather arrow shot out like lightning, cutting through the air with an unstoppable momentum and heading straight for the mountain goat.

The ibex seemed to have noticed something and jumped up instantly, but it was still a beat too late. The arrow accurately penetrated its neck, and a stream of blood gushed out. The ibex bleated sadly, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Yunfan quickly ran forward, his eyes filled with joy as he gazed upon his catch. "You've successfully shot a blue sheep. You've gained a new understanding of hunting skills. You feel your bow is becoming more and more comfortable. This is the beginning of hunting skills."

'Hunting 0/500 (Beginner)
Special effects: sharp eyes and ears, stalks like a wolf, lands silently, has a basic understanding of archery, and is good at trapping people.

In an instant, memories of his constant hunting in the mountains suddenly came to his mind.

As he recalls, he went into the mountains every day to look for traces, track prey, set traps, and practice archery.

At first, he came back empty-handed nine times out of ten. However, with day after day of hard practice and study of archery, he finally learned how to make traps and track prey. He could hit the target five or six times out of ten times with the bow.

There were also traces of imperceptible heat flowing slowly in his body, but it soon disappeared. Apart from making his body slightly swollen, there was nothing unusual.

Xu Yunfan let out a breath, and understood in his heart that his physique had already reached a very strong level, and ordinary skills like hunting had very limited effect on strengthening his body.

But now with hunting skills...

Xu Yunfan looked up and saw a vast expanse of white stretching to the horizon. The mountain ridges were tightly covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, without a trace of green.

The strong wind howled across the ice field, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill and making a sharp whistling sound.

The surrounding mountains are undulating, and under the ridges are barren, withered shrubs and grasslands. Not even a branch can be seen. The mountains are rocky and riddled with holes eroded by ice and snow, standing abruptly in this desolate land.

For the past few days, the sky has been gloomy, with thick leaden clouds pressing down heavily, making the already cold and desolate ice field even more depressing.

But now, even if I am alone, I should be able to survive in this barren land.

The fur of this blue sheep can be tanned into clothes to keep warm.

Xu Yunfan carried the mountain goat, which weighed more than 150 kilograms, and walked briskly back to his temporary residence in a valley in less than half an hour.

Li Haomiao was shocked and asked, "You hit him?"

"It's down."

"impossible."

Xu Yunfan lifted the blue sheep and said, "This is the truth."

"..."

Li Haomiao felt depressed, thinking back to when he was hunting in the royal forest. He hunted a ferocious tiger alone and could easily kill a fierce bear.

However, he had never accomplished any serious hunting, and most of the time he accomplished it by relying on his superb martial arts.

Then, under Li Haomiao's surprised gaze, Xu Yunfan skillfully used the fragments of the purple gold earth-shattering hammer to peel and remove the skin and organs of the mountain goat.

It looks very skillful.

"Where did you learn this technique?"

"Fang Mushan taught me."

Li Haomiao's face was filled with disbelief: "I don't believe this technique can be used on more than a hundred sheep."

"believe it or not."

Xu Yunfan didn't even raise his head and concentrated on dealing with the blue sheep's corpse.
