Even in his twilight years, he swept through the chaotic army of ten thousand warriors!

[Hunting (Beginner)]

[Progress: 92/100]

Ji Yan had worked as a hunter for a period of time with Xiao Gou's grandfather, and although he had a bow, he usually didn't get to use it.

On the contrary, Xiao Gou's grandfather liked to take Ji Yan up the mountain back then because...

Ji Yan has sharp eyes and is meticulous; he can always find traces of his prey.

Therefore, he shared his hunting experience without reservation.

And this time, the trip into the mountains happened to be to this very place...

Ji Yan discovered it not long after he entered the mountain.

It seems that it wasn't the demons from the west that were driven here by the barbarians, but rather that the original wild beasts themselves became demons...

So even though this mountain was full of demons, his old-fashioned experience was still quite useful.

They can always find traces of demons to avoid in advance, and even those they can't avoid can be prepared for.

That's why the journey went smoothly.

His hunting and tracking skills also increased significantly with the fourfold bonus.

When Ma Wu took out that tuft of hair, Ji Yan recognized it at a glance...

What kind of wild bird is that? Isn't that just the feathers of a white-tailed pheasant?

It's just much bigger...

The greyhound, upon smelling the scent, immediately took off running.

That's the direction of the chicken poop grave...

However, the reason why the white-tailed pheasant was so difficult to handle was largely due to its habits.

They don't like living in groups; on the contrary, they have a strong sense of territory...

Moreover, they are germaphobes, so much so that they will throw their own excrement into the territory of other pheasants.

So the hunters who came in back then dreamed of finding that bit of fresh chicken droppings, because that would mean that a golden pheasant was roosting there, even if it wasn't the owner of the droppings.

This is how the name "Chicken Shit Grave" came about.

According to Ma Wu, the savage bird had a wingspan of over three zhang (approximately 10 meters)...

It's so big, there's no way it could live in that little swamp in Chicken Shit Grave!

The reason why Hei Zi went there is obvious: there was demon chicken droppings there.

[Progress: 96/100]

With this thought in mind, the progress improved by another four points.

Ji Yan simply chose not to speak, but instead chose to follow along.

After all, it wouldn't take much time to go, but if he didn't go...

There were just too many pointless arguments.

Hei Zi ran ahead, and the others, being of good health, were also quite fast.

About fifteen minutes later, the journey went smoothly, except for encountering a large snake in the middle that caused some trouble.

Wang Wang Wang!

The barking of the dogs for a while excited Yunniang.

"Almost there!"

Sure enough, a strong smell of chicken droppings wafted over, and Hei Zi ran around more and more excitedly, shouting louder and louder.

Ma Wu and the donkey were already on high alert, but they still couldn't help but admire it.

"Kuroko is truly remarkable!"

"Yunniang, you're quite capable! I heard Heizi was sold several times, but after being bought back, he wouldn't recognize anyone but you!"

Upon hearing this, Yunniang's face lifted even higher, clearly pleased with the compliment.

Finally, Hei Zi stopped in front of a puddle of white feces, barking happily.

only……

There was no trace of that three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) savage bird.

Given the keen senses of these martial artists, even from a distance, they should have been able to sense something in that small swamp...

But there was nothing, not even a single footprint.

The words of praise were still ringing in my ears, but now the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Only the black pieces...

The greyhound didn't run into the swamp, but instead ran to Yunniang's side and spent a long time trying to curry favor.

The excitement was as if they were expecting a reward...

But seeing that Yunniang was unmoved, it skillfully circled around to Yunniang's back.

Then, it stood up, grabbed Yunniang's waist with its front paws, and began to paddle back and forth...

And since everyone here is a martial artist with qi and blood, who wouldn't be able to see through its arousal?

Yunniang's face flushed red instantly, and in her haste, she slapped the dog's mouth.

"Still haven't found it..."

But halfway through his sentence, he seemed to want to deny something and hurriedly added something else.

"Even if we find it, it won't work..."

The more they tried to explain, the worse it got, while the greyhound looked completely bewildered.

The donkey had long harbored resentment towards Yunniang, though it shouldn't laugh since it hadn't found any prey...

Fortunately, although he found it difficult to endure, he managed to hold back.

She buried her face in Ji Yan's shoulder and muttered to herself, her whole body trembling.

"So that's why the haters don't acknowledge the others..."

Yunniang was also furious, and kicked it down fiercely.

"try to find!"

"I'll deal with you when I find something alive!"

But when that kick landed, even Hei Zi was stunned.

She lowered her head and sobbed, then circled the excrement for a long time...

Aside from Ji Yan shooting an ordinary pheasant with an arrow out of boredom, he gained nothing.

Although the golden pheasant is precious, that's only in the eyes of ordinary people.

One or two taels of silver is nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to Ji Yan's current vacancy.

But finding it will increase your proficiency by four points, which is the real deal.

But it also makes it possible to get started with the [hunting] skill...

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ji Yan stepped forward.

"Let me see..."

Ma Wu had been circling around the area several times by this point, and had glanced at Ji Yan several times before.

Now that Ji Yan has spoken up for them, they couldn't be happier.

But a careful observer noticed that Ji Yan's eyes were slightly brightening at that moment...

[Progress: 0/3000]

[Purpose: To track and locate clues, and to distinguish truth from falsehood]

Ji Yan grabbed that tuft of downy hair, and in the instant she opened her eyes...

Ji Yan grabbed that tuft of downy hair, and in the instant she opened her eyes...

The wind in the mountains seemed to suddenly stop.

All the chaotic atmosphere and disordered scenes were dismantled one by one before his eyes, unfolding like a scroll before him.

This painting discards everything irrelevant, letting wind and rain wash it away, swamps bury it, and deliberate disguise it...

Every trace of life left behind by this creature was magnified infinitely in Ji Yan's eyes at this moment.

"Ma Wu, take five steps to the left, and the grass stalks will be crushed."

"With its miasma and swamps, even slightly larger wild animals keep their distance from this swamp. The only thing that can bend this thing is that demon chicken."

"Donkey, go up to the tallest tree to the south, there should be a bone up there..."

He gave calm instructions, and neither of them hesitated at all.

Soon, the grass was gathered, and the bones were found among the tree branches...

The broken marks on the golden pheasant that Ji Yan hunted were exactly the same; it was just a larger version.

Ji Yan, meanwhile, reached out and began groping for something in the swamp...

Soon, a feather as wide as an arm was rinsed with water by Ji Yan and presented to everyone.

"hiss!"

Ma Wu took a deep breath, his shock undisguised.

"One in the water, one in a tree, one in a swamp..."

"You really didn't put it there yourself?"

And that greyhound...

It ran up excitedly, trying to snatch the feather, seemingly hoping to be rewarded.

But the donkey kicked it away, and the donkey looked on in astonishment.

"Old Ji, how come you're even more ruthless than a dog..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Wu kicked him like he was kicking a dog.

"Can't you even speak properly!"

"Professor Ji, you are truly amazing!"
