Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points
Chapter 8 Never the Air Force
Within the vast Yunsong Mountain, a gentle breeze rustles through the treetops, and fallen leaves flutter down.
Several cloud pine rabbits suddenly stood up on their hind legs in the grass, their two red eyes scanning back and forth, as if they had sensed an atmosphere that was different from usual.
Just then, Zhou Chen, having calmed his mind and focused his energy, suddenly drew back the bowstring, channeling his strength into the arrowhead, aiming straight for the neck of the Cloud Pine Rabbit.
"Whoosh..."
The arrow pierced the air, its sound booming.
The twenty-step distance was covered in an instant.
"Pfft..."
Not far away, an arrow pierced the vital spot in the neck of the Cloud Pine Rabbit, and crimson blood spread along its snow-white fur.
With a single, decisive strike, before Zhou Chen could even draw his bow and fire a second arrow, the flock of Cloud Pine Rabbits had already scattered and fled like startled birds, leaving no trace behind.
"Being able to hunt one is already quite good; at least I won't be empty-handed again!" The moment Zhou Chen caught the Cloud Pine Rabbit, a layer of gloom seemed to dissipate from his heart, and he suddenly became clear and calm.
Having hunted this Cloud Pine Rabbit at least means that he has the ability to survive in this world.
Next, as long as you diligently practice archery and tracking skills, and combine them with various relics from the Old World to improve yourself, you will be able to continuously grow stronger.
Archery progress +1
The information on the panel flashed by, and Zhou Chen slowly got up, stretching his legs which were a little sore and numb from squatting for a long time, and strode towards the fallen Yun Song Rabbit.
"There's nothing wrong with being transported to this world; at least I don't have to toil like an ox or a horse all day long."
Zhou Chen picked up the Cloud Pine Rabbit and weighed it in his hand; it was about ten kilograms.
He grinned and tossed it into his basket.
Based on my past life experience, a ten-pound rabbit can yield about three or four pounds of meat, which is quite a lot.
The fur of the Yunsong rabbit is also a source of income as winter approaches. When the caravan arrives, it can be sold for a much higher price than rabbit meat.
"Try your best, try and catch one more!"
Zhou Chen suppressed his joy and scanned his surroundings again, meticulously.
There were five Cloud Pine Rabbits in that group just now. Apart from the ones that were hunted down, four others escaped and scattered. There might be some surprises ahead.
After searching for nearly half an hour, Zhou Chen found several more traces of prey, but did not find his target.
The fleeing cloud pine rabbits seemed to have vanished, and no trace could be found.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows; the ancients were right." Zhou Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head helplessly.
"If tracking skills were improved to the next level, perhaps we could obtain more traces of our prey."
"As for today, that arrow just now has already startled the rabbit herd, and the corpses of the Cloud Pine Rabbits in the basket are constantly emitting a bloody smell. The surrounding animals and wild beasts are probably already avoiding it." He thought to himself.
Although Zhou Chen's spirit attribute had been raised to 1.1, which was similar to that of an ordinary person, such high-intensity pursuit of prey in the mountains and forests still left him exhausted, and his stomach was growling with hunger.
Looking up at the sky, I had the urge to return to the village.
After all, even a seasoned hunter like Uncle Sun wouldn't dare to stay in the darkness of Yunsong Mountain, so he naturally knew the danger.
Tread...
Half an hour later, when he stood on the mountainside and saw the ancient pine tree in Cangsong Village, Zhou Chen stopped slightly to recover his strength.
Winter nights are long and days are short, with only four or five hours of daylight.
He entered the mountains at sunrise and it took him more than two hours to hunt the Cloud Pine Rabbit. The subsequent search took a lot of time, and by the time he left the mountains it was almost evening.
If another half hour passes, dusk will surge into the blue sky, obscuring the sun.
After resting for a while, Zhou Chen tightened the basket on his back. The faint smell of blood tickled his nose, which gave him a sense of accomplishment, and even made his steps lighter.
"Isn't this the Zhou family's kid? I haven't seen him for several days since the Black Wind Thieves came. I thought he had died of illness at home."
"Judging by his demeanor, has he gone hunting in the mountains?"
As Zhou Chen walked to the village entrance, several gaunt farmers, who had just finished tending to their crops, leaned against the wall, enjoying one of the few moments of leisure they had during the day.
Seeing Zhou Chen return from the direction of Yunsong Mountain with a bow hanging from his waist, they secretly discussed and speculated.
"Look at that basket on his back, it's bobbing up and down, it's filled with things." Suddenly, a dark-skinned man exclaimed in surprise, looking at the basket on Zhou Chen's back that was bobbing rhythmically with the Cloud Pine Rabbit inside.
"He still has a youthful vigor; this young man is really lucky," someone said enviously.
"Ha, a sickly son whose father died, with no land to cultivate, can only try his luck in the mountains. He may have struck it rich today, but he might die in the mountains tomorrow." Another farmer smelled the blood, as if he could smell meat but couldn't eat it, and said sourly.
"Yes, I heard that a group of martial artists from the county town have entered the mountains these days. They are all burly and strong, and it seems they are searching for some wanted criminals."
As Zhou Chen passed by the village entrance, he heard the gossip of the men around him, but he didn't stop at all and strode towards his home.
After entering the house, he put down his bow and arrows, then went out again with his basket on his back.
Skinning prey is simple; if he were to do it himself, he could do a pretty good job.
The price that caravans in Kena County would pay for furs was certainly closely related to the condition of the furs.
After all, in the dead of winter, those who can afford to use fur for warmth are either rich or noble.
Why would those people spend money to buy inferior quality furs?
Therefore, if you want to sell it for a high price, only an experienced person can peel it properly.
"Knock knock knock..."
Who is it?
"Uncle Sun, it's me."
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's voice, the footsteps in the courtyard quickened.
The next moment, the courtyard gate opened, and Uncle Sun stood at the door with a melancholy expression.
"Xiao Chen, it's you!" Uncle Sun's expression changed from worry to joy when he saw Zhou Chen, and he welcomed him inside.
Upon entering the courtyard, Uncle Sun was taken aback when he saw that Zhou Chen's body was mostly covered in dirt, and a faint smell of blood emanated from the basket on his back. "You went into the mountains by yourself today?"
Zhou Chen readily replied, "Yes."
"You silly boy, why didn't you wait for Uncle Sun?" Uncle Sun said with a guilty look on his face, as if he had thought of something.
"We can't keep troubling you, Uncle Sun."
Zhou Chen unloaded the basket from his back and placed it on the ground, revealing the Cloud Pine Rabbit inside.
"Bunny, I want to eat bunny!" Sun Xiaohua, who had been circling around Zhou Chen, shouted when she saw the Cloud Pine Rabbit in the basket.
Even Sun Xiaohu, who was playing with mud by himself, was drawn over by her voice.
"This?" Uncle Sun stared blankly at the cloud pine rabbit in the basket on his back.
He had to plead with his wife to let him take Zhou Chen with him for another day, but when they arrived at the Zhou family mansion, they knocked on the door for a long time without Zhou Chen responding.
At that time, he thought Zhou Chen thought hunting in the mountains was too hard, and he felt a bit angry and disappointed in him, so he went into the mountains alone.
But whether it was because he was preoccupied with something or simply had bad luck, he wandered around the mountains all day without finding a single prey and returned empty-handed once again.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen, whom he had misunderstood, gave him a pleasant surprise.
"Little Flower, Little Tiger, this is what your Brother Zhou called for. Don't be greedy." He scolded the two little ones who were about to crawl into the basket.
"I've come here this time because I need Uncle Sun's help with something," Zhou Chen said with a smile, patting Sun Xiaohua's head.
"Whatever it is, I, Old Sun, will definitely lend a hand." Uncle Sun didn't even ask what it was about and readily agreed.
"I heard that a caravan from the county town will be here in two days. I would appreciate it if Uncle Sun could help me skin and tan this rabbit so that I can sell it for a good price."
As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a robust woman walked in from outside.
The woman, carrying a basket full of firewood on her back and holding a few handfuls of wild vegetables in her hand, entered the door and said happily, "Husband, we're lucky today. We found two handfuls of wild vegetables to make a soup."
