On a new day, the tide has just subsided.

Usually at this time, most villagers in Heqian Village are still immersed in their dreams, but today is different from the past. Every household has lit up the lights and smoke has been curling!

Because today is the day for hunters to go up the mountain to hunt.

For the small mountain village of Heqian Village, hunting is the most important activity. The amount of prey hunters catch determines the lives of hundreds of families in the village and whether they can eat and wear warm clothes.

The meat of prey is the source of food, and the fur materials are used to pay taxes and exchange them for daily necessities. Therefore, every time the village organizes a team to hunt on the mountain, the whole village will inevitably be dispatched to prepare.

One after another, hunters, with their family members' earnest and worried eyes, took their bags and walked out of the house.

Their bags contain dry food for three days, as well as essential items such as spirits, wound medicine, straps, fire, salt, etc., and of course, they also carry bows, arrows, daggers, red sulfur knives and other weapons.

These fully armed hunters soon gathered in front of their homes in Yandashan.

Yan Dashan had already been waiting there, and Wei Changfeng and Yan Tiezhu were also present.

Yan Dashan first counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was here, and said to Yan Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, I'll leave the matter in the village to you."

Yan Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "Brother Dashan, don't worry!"

Yan Dashan led people up the mountain to hunt, and there must be someone in the village to guard it. This time he organized a total of forty hunters to go out, so he kept Yan Tiezhu, whom he trusted the most.

Yan Tiezhu said to Wei Changfeng next to him again: "Brother Wei, please help me watch out for Brother Dashan."

Wei Changfeng nodded.

He knew that the situation in Heqian Village is not good now. The witch's civil strife has not been completely resolved. Yan Qi and several other villagers are locked in the dungeon. People in the village are volatile.

The most troublesome thing is that Yan Dashan took people to Taixing City a few days ago and did not bring back much, because the animal skin and medicinal materials they brought were basically used to pay taxes.

The taxes distributed by the Great Witch to each village are getting heavier and heavier. If a small village like Heqian Village does not want to be annexed by other villages, it will have to bear increasing tax pressure.

That's why Yan Dashan brought most of the hunters in the village and invited Wei Changfeng to go up the mountain together. The purpose is undoubtedly to make a big deal and solve the current difficulties faced by the village.

Wei Changfeng is also willing to help.

"Let's go!"

Under the leadership of Yan Dashan, the hunting team left the village and headed towards the mountains ahead.

Many villagers came out to see off their relatives, and the scene was quite lively.

"elder brother"

As soon as Wei Changfeng walked out of the village, Yan Xiaohuan chased after him and stuffed two hot pheasant eggs into his hand: "I'll give you something to eat on the way!"

"Thanks!"

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and he touched her hair and said, "Go back."

The little girl nodded, bit her lip and took two steps back to look at him.

Wei Changfeng shook his head, said nothing more, turned around and accelerated his pace to follow the hunter team in front.

Most of the hunters in the team were young. They were divided into several teams led by experienced old hunters, and it was not the first time they entered the mountain. Therefore, they moved forward very quickly, and soon they left Kazuki Village far behind.

At the beginning, the hunters in the team were still talking and laughing, but since they stepped onto the narrow and rugged mountain road, they all became silent, and their faces became more vigilant and solemn.

There are countless dangers hidden in the mountains.

Although most monsters and evil beasts will not come out to move when the evil tide subsides, the dark forests are still dangerous forbidden areas, and stepping into them will often lead to life.

The periphery of the mountainous area is safe and peaceful, and I have never encountered any monsters along the way.

Half an hour after leaving the village, the hunting team arrived at the top of the mountain.

The mountains here are not very high, but standing on the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery. You can see the mountains rolling and continuous, and the huge volcano with thick smoke and flames in the distance is particularly eye-catching.

"This mountain is called Heilong Mountain"

Yan Dashan pointed to the mountain at his feet and introduced to Wei Changfeng: "We are now standing at the position of Dragon Tail, and we are all the way from here to there. The Dragon Head Volcano is 200 miles away!"

Wei Changfeng looked in the direction of his finger, but saw the mountains winding forward, with dangerous peaks rising from the mountains, as if they were like a black giant dragon dormant on the plain, reaching the volcano.

Yan Dashan said: "Let's go in this direction!"

Wei Changfeng felt vaguely that what Yan Dashan said was not just about introducing him to the terrain, but also seemed to have no intention.

But he didn't look at it carefully, nodded and said, "After all the arrangements, elder!"

"Don't call me elder"

Yan Dashan said: "We should be brothers!"

The hunters next to him all looked at Wei Changfeng with envious eyes. You should know that only a few people who are truly qualified to be brothers with Yan Dashan in Heqian Village were Yan Tiezhu and others.

Wei Changfeng was not pretentious and smiled and said, "Okay!"

Yan Dashan smiled and reached out and patted Wei Changfeng on the shoulder: "Good brother!"

"Let's go!"

The next journey will not be so easy.

There are almost no mountain paths that can be walked between the wild mountains and ridges. The paths that were trampled by hunters or beasts in the past were basically occupied by plants, trees and vines. People who are not familiar with the terrain will easily get lost in the vast jungle when they come here.

Fortunately, the old hunters in the team were not only experienced, but also knew the surrounding environment. Under their leadership, the team went deep into the depths of Heilong Mountain, traveling between the mountains and woods, looking for prey to the beasts.

As he moved forward, long snakes and small beasts were disturbed from time to time, and flying insects and flies could be seen everywhere. Wei Changfeng discovered that the situation of the Zuwu River Valley was different from the Nine Netherlands he remembered, and there were more creatures here.

The team walked away for a long time and had no other gains except for the two thin-haired rabbits.

Yan Dashan is helpless about this.

"Now there are fewer and fewer black wild boars, most of them hide deep in the mountains. The evil beasts and monsters there are very powerful, and we can't deal with them."

Wei Changfeng nodded.

His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the way he came, with a sharp light shining in his eyes.

The plants are deep and everything is peaceful.

Yan Dashan was surprised and asked, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

Wei Changfeng frowned, waved his hand to Yan Dashan, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Come out!"

What comes out?

Hunters all felt inexplicable.
Chapter completed!
