Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

In the past, whenever they went into the mountains with Liu Bei, this guy could always find prey with great accuracy. After hearing his words, the group did not hesitate.

Liu Bei said to go left, so we'll go left.

"We'll go wherever Brother Bei says! Follow me!" Fan Ha'er, carrying a hunting rifle, was the first to dart onto the path on the left.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si followed closely behind.

Fan Shuanzhu and Old Tan exchanged a glance and followed.

This path was noticeably narrower than the one on the right, with bushes and weeds growing wildly on both sides, and vines hanging down from the branches overhead, occasionally brushing against our shoulders.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Liu Bei suddenly raised his hand.

"stop."

The team froze instantly.

Fan Ha'er was walking briskly when he almost bumped into Liu Bei's back and quickly stopped.

"Brother Bei, why did you suddenly stop?"

Liu Bei made a shushing gesture with his right hand to his mouth, then pressed his palm down: "Lie down!"

Upon seeing this, Fan Ha'er was stunned for a second before lying down.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si followed suit and lay down.

Although Fan Shuanzhu and Old Tan were puzzled, they quickly lowered their heads.

Liu Bei lay down as well, and pointed ahead through the gaps in the bushes.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

About twenty meters ahead, next to a patch of low tree roots, there was a fiery red thing crouching there.

"That's...it's a fox!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment when they saw the bright red fox, its head bowed as it ate.

"What a beautiful red fox! It's mine!"

Fan Ha'er's eyes widened instantly. He quickly took the hunting rifle off his shoulder, rested the butt against his shoulder, placed the sights on his right eye, and slowly aimed the muzzle at the red fox.

Li Dazhuang also raised his gun, but after glancing at Fan Ha'er's stance, he silently lowered it again.

Liu Bei glanced at Fan Ha'er and, seeing his keen interest, did not stop him.

"Bang!"

With a gunshot, a bullet pierced Red Fox's abdomen, and a bloody hole instantly exploded.

The red fox collapsed to the ground, its tail twitched a few times, and then it fell still.

"I got it!!!"

Fan Ha'er sprang up from the ground, not even having time to hang up his shotgun, and charged forward with long strides.

He ran to the red fox, squatted down and examined it, confirming that it was completely dead. He then lifted the red fox above his head with both hands and waved vigorously at the people behind him.

"Brother Bei! Did you see that?! I shot! I shot!!! One shot, one kill! Brother Bei, aren't my marksmen good?"

Liu Bei: "..."

This is the kind of thing you should say to a woman, right?

Talk to a fox?

Are you fucking trying to sleep with a vixen?

At this moment, Li Dazhuang got up from the ground and walked over. "Hey, not bad, your marksmanship is pretty accurate!"

Old Tan nodded: "That was indeed a beautiful shot."

Liu Bei walked over and patted Fan Ha'er on the shoulder: "Not bad. You've made great progress. Keep it up!"

Fan Ha'er grinned from ear to ear, "Hehehe... Brother Bei praised me...hehehe..."

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot." Liu Bei gestured with his chin. "Let's carry the red fox on our backs and keep going."

"Alright!" Fan Ha'er tossed the red fox onto his back and caught up with the group.

The journey that followed proved to be worthwhile.

First, a few pheasants emerged from the grass, and Li Dazhuang and Tan Si each took down three of them cleanly with a gun.

After walking a little further, several more weasels darted out, and Old Tan and Fan Shuanzhu also got to try their hand at shooting.

Liu Bei didn't fire a single shot from beginning to end.

The reason for this was that, in Liu Bei's view, these small prey were enough for his brothers to practice on.

He should save his bullets and energy for something more valuable.

Five hours passed quickly.

The sun was already setting in the west, and apart from the red fox, which was a big catch, the rest of the loot consisted of small trinkets like pheasants and weasels.

Fan Shuanzhu wiped his sweat and looked at the sky: "Xiao Bei, it looks like we won't be able to catch any big prey today. It's getting late, let's try again next time."

Old Tan nodded, "We have to go back. If we go any further in, we might not make it back to the village before dark."

"good--"

Nodding, Liu Bei was about to speak when two red dots suddenly flashed in his vision.

The color is an extremely deep crimson, exactly the same color as when I encountered the black panther and the leopard last time.

Moreover, those two red dots were still moving, and they didn't seem to be moving very slowly.

"Um?"

Liu Bei's expression changed abruptly, and he raised his hand:

"Wait a little longer."

Fan Ha'er leaned closer: "Brother Bei, what's wrong?"

"Shh~" Liu Bei raised his hand to shove, lowering his voice, "There's some noise. Don't speak. Follow me. To the ten o'clock direction."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the ten o'clock direction.

The group crouched low and followed Liu Bei as he crept over.

"Gah~ Gah gah~"

After walking for about four or five minutes, a strange sound came from ahead.

Everyone stopped at the same time.

Li Dazhuang raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice: "That sound...like a duck quacking? Could it be a wild duck?"

Liu Bei stared at the two red dots in his line of sight.

He shook his head, his face solemn, and pointed to the sky: Climb the tree.

"Xiao Bei, did you... encounter a bear? Or a leopard?" Seeing Liu Bei's serious expression, Fan Shuanzhu asked.

Upon hearing this, Old Tan also became nervous: "Xiao Bei, what's going on?"

"I don't know what it is either. Let's climb the tree and take a look first."

After saying that, Liu Bei was the first to climb the tree.

"Brother Bei, wait for me!"

Fan Ha'er also scrambled up a nearby old oak tree that was as thick as a bowl.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si each found a big tree and climbed it.

Fan Shuanzhu and Old Tan were a bit older and not as nimble, but they could still see the seriousness on Liu Bei's face, so they gritted their teeth and climbed up the tree branches.

Soon, when everyone climbed up the tree and looked down from above, the eyes of all six people widened in surprise.

Twenty meters ahead, a toad was squatting on an open space.

The toad was bright red all over, as if it had been soaked in blood, and it was ridiculously large.

It weighed at least thirty pounds, and squatted there for a good half meter tall. Its two bulging eyes looked like two dark red glass balls, and it was making a "ga ga ga" sound with its mouth open.

Three or four meters away from the red toad, a large snake was coiled up.

The giant snake was also entirely crimson, its body as thick as a bowl, and it coiled its body several times. The part that was exposed was estimated to be a meter long.

Its triangular head was held high, and a red tongue kept flicking in and out.

"My God..." Old Tan was so frightened he almost fell down.

"What...what are these things?" Fan Shuanzhu gripped the tree trunk tightly, his voice trembling. "Are they some kind of sentient being?"

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si's hands trembled slightly as they gripped their guns, their Adam's apples bobbing up and down, but they dared not utter a sound.

"Giggle~"

The red toad's croaking grew more and more urgent, sounding like a warning to the large snake opposite, telling it to get away from blocking the way.

"Hiss~"

However, the red snake on the other side remained unmoved, flicking its tongue even faster and shaking its head slightly, assuming an offensive stance, clearly not taking the red toad's warning seriously.

"War is about to break out!" Liu Bei said in a low voice.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the red toad sprang up.

"Gah~"

Its body, weighing over thirty pounds, leaped off the ground and pounced on the red snake.

Its open mouth spewed out a stream of grayish-white venom that shot straight at the red snake's head.

The red snake jerked its head to the side, dodging most of the venom, but a few drops still splashed onto its body.

"Sizzle~"

Instantly, the scales splashed with venom turned black and emitted a wisp of white smoke.

"Hiss~"

In an instant, the red snake was enraged by the pain.

Its entire body shot out like a bolt of crimson lightning, wrapping around the red toad's body.

The toad struggled desperately, kicking its hind legs wildly and spraying venom from its mouth.

The red snake coiled tighter and tighter, its muscles contracting in circles, and its scales rubbing against the toad skin, producing a piercing "hissing" sound.

The toad's venom glands were desperately secreting toxins, and large areas of the red snake's body began to turn black and ulcerate. Yet the red snake remained tightly coiled and refused to let go, even opening its mouth to bite the red toad's hind leg.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones breaking clearly reached the ears of everyone in the tree.

The fight lasted less than three minutes.

Finally, the red toad struggled less and less, its limbs twitched a few times, and then it stopped moving.

The red snake coiled around it had its scales falling off in large pieces, finally revealing the rotten, blackened flesh beneath.

After releasing the toad, it twisted and twitched twice before its head slumped heavily to the ground.

A toad and a snake, both eventually met their demise.

Meanwhile, the open space under the tree was left in a mess by their battle.

A large portion of the soil was turned upside down, and a large area of ​​grass was flattened, with venom and bloodstains remaining everywhere.

Seeing this, Li Dazhuang's mouth hung open for a long time.

Old Tan was trembling as he lay on the tree branch.

Fan Shuanzhu's face turned ashen, and he clung tightly to the tree trunk, too afraid to move.

Fan Ha'er opened his mouth into an "O" shape.

As for Liu Bei, he stared intently at the two corpses under the tree, his face filled with wild joy.

The big red toad and the big red snake

Both of these are highly poisonous.

If you sell it to a traditional Chinese medicine shop, it will definitely be worth a lot of money.
