Star Trace Gate

Chapter 724: Hospitality, 1 Drop of Drunken Immortal Wine

As dawn breaks in the east, all things come back to life. The entire Woniu Peak is shrouded in misty dew, and from time to time the cries of rare and exotic animals can be heard from the forest.

The young Xing Wu had been lying in the grass shell, waiting for nearly an hour. Unlike his father's unrestrained and uninhibited personality, his years of hunting had given him patience and endurance far beyond his peers. Coupled with his calm and simple personality, he was extremely charming at this moment, just like a young hunting king in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In the past hour, two messenger birds landed nearby and four huge strange beasts passed by, but Xing Wu was not sure he could kill them with one blow. He just quietly observed until the opponents left, and remained patient.

Finally, just after half of the morning hour, heavy footsteps could be heard from the other side of the river.

Xing Wu closed his eyes slightly, his ears trembled, and he said in his heart with surprise: "This... this is a 500-jin second-grade Pingpeng pig?! Hehe, the distinguished guest from afar is in for a treat."

He opened his bright black eyes, gently pushed aside the weeds with his right hand, and squinted at the other side of the stream.

Not long after, a black-haired wild boar with an extremely strong body, thick skin and flesh, and a very strange shape, swaggered out of the forest.

The black-haired wild boar was obviously no ordinary creature, as it actually had two of them. When going down the mountain, one was in front, looking at the water, while the other was behind, cautiously looking at the scenery of the mountain forest.

"Ow!"

It stood by the water, shaking the hair on its body and letting out an earth-shattering howl.

As soon as the cry was heard, hundreds of birds flew away in fright, and the mountains and forests became silent in an instant.

Although this Pingpeng Pig weighs only 500 kilograms and cannot be considered a huge monster, it is a dominant existence in the one and a half acres of land nearby.

It is a second-grade spiritual beast. Although it is in a state of enlightenment, it has not yet reached full wisdom. However, it has the capital to become an "alien".

If they don’t transform into human form, they are just beasts; if they transform into human form, they can be called aliens.

However, in this area, it is an invincible existence. The wolves, tigers and leopards around are all younger brothers. Even if Brother Tiger comes, he may have to let his cousin come out to communicate and ask for face.

Pingpeng Pig walked to the bank with a swagger, followed behind the other pig, looked at its own handsome face in the water, and happily prepared to drink water to quench its thirst.

Xing Wu stared at its body, very slowly pulled out a green fish arrow from its back, and then quietly grasped the animal bone bow.

With the bow in hand, it seemed as if an invisible killing intent was spreading...

"brush!"

The Pingpeng Pig on the other side of the stream suddenly raised its head, its eyes emitting a fierce black light, and its body was faintly fluctuating with the aura of the stars.

As soon as Xing Wuzhi picked up the bow, it sensed danger and its vigilance was comparable to that of Lao Liu during the crackdown period.

The Pingpeng pig stared at the other side of the stream, and finally fixed its gaze on the grass shell where Xing Wu was hiding.

"Ow!"

It roared again, as if to say, "Squatting on the grass, old six? I'm on the morning eight!"

"Tap tap...!"

Pingpeng Pig stared at the grass shell and pressed forward faster and faster. Although it weighed five hundred kilograms, its body did not sink when it stepped on the water.

A chaotic star energy surged out from the pig's body with astonishing power.

When the young Xing Wu saw it coming, he did not panic, nor did he jump out of the grass. He just held the bow and observed the body of the Pingpeng Pig.

He had not yet attained enlightenment, so naturally he had not yet touched the threshold of divine perception. He could only rely on his abnormal five senses to observe, listen carefully, and judge in order to collect all the information.

"boom!"

After the Pingpeng Pig came to the center of the stream, its aura suddenly became extremely violent, and its body leaped up at an extremely fast speed, like a thousand-pound artillery shell, crashing down like a torrent of fire.

At this moment, the young Xing Wu suddenly squatted up, facing the cold wind, and drew his bow and arrow.

Snapped!

There was a loud noise, and the thousand-jin heavy bow was opened, and the string was shocked like thunder.

"Whoosh!"

The green fish arrow emitted a burst of green light and shot straight towards Pingpeng Pig's forehead.

The black-haired wild boar was suddenly shocked, as if it had not expected that the young man in front of it had such supernatural power that he could shoot an arrow that could kill it.

It suddenly shook its head backwards, nimbly dodging the fatal arrow, and then the head behind its hips swung forward, turning the back head into the front head. It was not injured, but could continue chasing without stopping.

Not far away, Xing Wu shot an arrow but turned around and left without observing.

"Tap!"

The sound of footsteps on the ground was deafening. Pingpeng Pig rushed across the stream like crazy and came to the shore on Xing Wu's side.

However, it did not stupidly rush straight to where Xing Wu had just been, but instead sensed carefully, sniffed the scent, and took a detour to chase him.

“Damn it, damn it…!”

Xing Wu held the bow and did not turn around to observe, but he could determine the opponent's location through his ears.

After just two breaths, Pingpeng Pig had already caught up with Xing Wu after taking a detour. At this moment, it was only more than ten steps away from the grass shell where the other party had just hidden.

"brush!"

Xing Wu suddenly turned around, drew the bow and arrow again. His right arm was so fast that it left several afterimages, and he shot three arrows in a row.

"Whoosh!"

When an arrow hit it, Pingpeng Pig wanted to dodge to the left to avoid the grass shell on the right, but unexpectedly, the second arrow had blocked its left side.

Helplessly, it flexibly swung its body and retreated six or seven steps. But before the pig's body could stop, the third arrow shot again from the left side. As the green light flashed, a sense of impending death arose.

Pingpeng Pig only has the caution and cunning of a spirit beast, but it is not fully intelligent. And Xing Wu's arrows are too fast. Even the strongest shooter in the national server has to say that this level of single-player forced movement is the best ADC in the world.

Pingpeng Pig's not-so-smart brain froze for a moment. With its breath raging, it leaped to the right again.

"Snapped!"

The right front hoof stepped down heavily, and the two animal tendon ropes buried in the grass shell suddenly contracted, instantly restraining the hoof and sliding rapidly.

"Roar!!"

The Pingpeng Pig was pulled up by animal tendon ropes, its body hanging next to a tall ancient tree, and it let out a desperate and shrill cry.

It shook its head frantically, trying to break free from the animal tendon rope, but its body could not exert any strength in the air, and the star source aura was not enough to break the rope and escape.

"brush!"

When Xing Wu was hunting, his body was as agile as a cheetah. He stepped onto a piece of bluestone and suddenly jumped up to a height of more than ten meters.

The young man's body stretched out in the air like a monkey, and with his arms pulled horizontally, he once again drew the thousand-jin bow.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The bowstring rang with four thunderous sounds, and four green fish arrows flew out from four directions.

"Puff puff……!"

The young man fell to the ground, and the air was filled with blood. Ping Peng Pig's four eyes were pierced accurately, and black blood gushed out. Each arrow penetrated more than a foot deep into the eyes, and pierced through Ping Peng Pig's brain as well.

After struggling in the air for a long time, Pingpeng Pig's body gradually became motionless and the aura of the star source slowly dissipated.

However, Xing Wu did not approach the opponent immediately, but stared at the opponent's two big mouths. When they opened slightly, he pulled out the black rusty dagger on his leg from the bottom and swung it violently with just the strength of his physical body.

"puff!"

The short knife turned into a black light, cut in, and pierced through the upper jaw and head of the Pingpeng Pig again.

Following the instruction, he carefully walked around the pig's hip and finished it off with his rusty dagger.

Black blood fell like a rainstorm. Xing Wu only gasped twice, but his signature simple smile appeared on his face: "This time he is really dead...!"

He ran behind the ancient tree with a smile on his face, loosened the supporting point of the animal tendon rope, and heard the sound of the dead pig hitting the ground heavily.

"Brush, brush!"

Xing Wu put away his sword and bow, quickly tied up the Pingpeng pig with both hands, and tied several knots specially used by hunters on its body.

After everything was done, the young man pulled out a black bottle from his waist and sprinkled a green powder with a very special smell along the direction he had just walked. This thing was called Chaos Demon Powder by Xing Wu, and it was also a small invention he came up with.

Because his father loved to eat Bai Ling Paste, Xing Wu discovered during long-term observation that the bone residue left after boiling the Bai Ling Paste had a strong smell. Even the second or third rank magical masters could hardly tell which kind of spiritual beast the bone residue belonged to in its lifetime.

Xing Wu suddenly had an idea. He thought that if this item was carefully prepared, it could help the hunters avoid a lot of trouble. Many spirit beasts in the mountains have become enlightened, and they are very vengeful and hate the hunters. If a team often appears on a certain mountain and leaves their own unique scent, it is very likely that during a certain operation, they will change from hunters to prey and will be ambushed by many intelligent spirit beasts.

But with this thing, the strongest shooter in the country is equivalent to taking an invisibility potion. It is no problem for him to make four trips to Woniu Peak to purchase supplies in three days.

He sprinkled the demon powder as he walked, and when the others came back, he had already retrieved all the arrows that he had deliberately shot empty. From the beginning of the hunt to now, it had only been a hundred breaths.

This is how hunters work. If a rich man wants a treasure from a rare animal, it is common for them to stay in the mountains for a month or two. When they are actually hunting, life and death are often decided in a split second.

This is a little safer than traveling to secret places, but only relatively speaking.

In this world and this environment, ordinary people without money and power actually have no better choice but to risk their lives.

After returning to the tree, Xing Wu did not dare to delay for a moment, fearing that other spirit beasts would notice the bloody battle and come to look for food. So, he just grabbed the two front hooves of the Pingpeng Pig with one hand and the two hind hooves with the other hand, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go!"

"brush!"

In a flash, he carried the 500-pound pig on his shoulders, and without blushing or panting, he observed the situation while walking away quickly.

In the mountains, the morning sun was at its highest point. A young man was carrying a huge object, walking in the lush greenery, and returning down the mountain with a full load.

……

Chen time, Tianbao Pavilion in Chaolong City.

"Oh!"

The five-hundred-pound Pingpeng pig fell to the ground with a loud bang, causing the bluestone ground to tremble slightly.

The deliveryman of Tianbao Pavilion rolled up his sleeves and squatted on the ground slowly. He carefully checked the pig's body, trotters, mouth, belly and other parts, and then asked in surprise: "Where is its star core?"

"I have promised the star core to a friend, so I won't sell it." Xing Wu replied with a little shyness, showing his white teeth.

"The pig's body is intact, how did you take out the star core from its belly?!" the deliveryman asked in even greater surprise.

"Massage its abdomen to find the location of the star core, then put a rope with a hook into its mouth and pull it out little by little." Xing Wu did not hide it.

“It’s a very detailed job.”

The courier praised him, stood up and said, "No star core. Twenty thousand for skin, twenty thousand for meat. Forty thousand for star source... I won't be included in the list."

"Uncle, can you add some skin?!"

"No." The peddler shook his head and said, "I'll give you 20,000 yuan for Lao Qian's sake. He brought you here before, so I won't lower the price... This Pingpeng pig is stupid by nature. Rich masters don't like its skin, and the supernatural ones are even more disgusted with it. The skin can only be sold to gangsters and made into armor or something... 20,000 yuan is not a small amount."
