Chapter 8

Lei Xingfeng said, "It's fine, it's fine... the impact isn't significant."

Ke Nanshan, seeing Lei Xingfeng's energetic appearance, couldn't help but praise, "Feng is naturally a hunter. I never thought our hunting team would have such a strong hand join us. This year's harvest will certainly be substantial."

Ke Dashi laughed, "Those teams that rejected Feng, if they knew how powerful he is, they would probably regret it."

Ke Nanshan said, "Let's take some of the things back first. It's very close to Tiger Cliff Fort, and we can return in half a day. Heh heh, at this rate... we can hunt many wild bulls. With Feng here, we can stockpile enough meat to last through the winter."

Ke Dashi nodded and said, "We'll leave two people to guard, and the other two will transport... a few trips will be enough to send all the meat back."

The wild bull meat, after being salted and dried, would lose a lot of water and become much lighter. Plus, with the bones removed and only the pure meat left, the meat from two wild bulls could be transported in a few trips. Actually, the most valuable parts of the wild bulls were the two hides and four horns, which could be exchanged for a lot of grain and meat.

Ke Nanshan said, "Ke Shi and I will go back first, Dashi, you stay here with Feng."

The people here were extremely strong, and carrying two to three hundred pounds was very common. Each person had a large basket woven from vines that could hold nearly three hundred pounds of meat, plus two wild bull horns. This trip, Ke Nanshan and Ke Shi would go back first, then return, and then Ke Dashi and Lei Xingfeng would go back, taking turns. They would finish the transport very quickly.

The four began to organize, stuffing large pieces of meat into the baskets, and then prepared to leave.

Descending the tree, Ke Dashi and Lei Xingfeng followed. This was to guard against any wild animal attacks. Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng whispered, "Something is approaching!"

Everyone immediately tensed up, each one picking up their weapons. Lei Xingfeng reached for the black bow, an arrow loosely placed on the string, his eyes fixed on the side. A bird's cry, and then a figure moved, followed by two people appearing, weapons in hand. When they saw the four forming a loose encirclement, their faces changed.

Ke Dashi's face changed completely, and he said, "Damn it, it's the Eagle Clan's people!"

Ke Nanshan and Ke Shi's faces also changed, and Lei Xingfeng's expression altered as well. Having lived in Tiger Cliff Fort for so many years, he knew that the Eagle Clan and Tiger Cliff Fort were mortal enemies. Whenever the hunters from the two clans met, there was never any good outcome. They would kill each other if they could, and harm each other if they could. The two clans were absolute mortal enemies, a feud that had lasted for hundreds of years.

Many hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort had died at the hands of the Eagle Clan's hunters. No hunting team ever wanted to encounter the Eagle Clan's hunters, and the only result of such a meeting was a fight to the death, with no other choice. That's why they were so tense upon seeing the Eagle Clan's hunters.

When Ke Dashi clearly saw that they were Eagle Clan hunters, he almost instinctively shouted, "Kill!"

Lei Xingfeng, having cultivated the Wheel Force, reacted extremely quickly. Almost immediately after Ke Dashi's shout, he shot an arrow.

The arrow was so fast, and the force was unimaginable. As the bowstring made a metallic sound, the arrow had already pierced a person's head, instantly penetrating the skull and embedding itself in the trunk of a tree. Even with the head blocking it, the arrow had sunk in a third of the way.

Before the other side could react, a second arrow was shot. In less than a second, Lei Xingfeng had taken out two people, leaving Ke Dashi and the others stunned. It was too fast, and the three of them hadn't even had time to react.

This was Lei Xingfeng's first time killing someone, and strangely, he didn't feel any disgust. It was as if he had just stepped on an ant. He found it strange himself. In fact, having cultivated the Thunder Wheel Force, he had already begun to change, his character becoming more resolute.

Ke Dashi was shocked again. He had never expected Lei Xingfeng to be so decisive, killing two people with two arrows. It was truly clean and efficient, not at all like a novice hunter, but more like an experienced one.

Suddenly, several arrows were shot. Ke Shi raised his shield to block two arrows, and Lei Xingfeng deflected one with his black bow. The bowstring made a loud twang, and three arrows were shot in quick succession. After shooting three arrows, Lei Xingfeng threw away the black bow, drew a dagger from his leg, and rushed into the forest.

Ke Dashi shouted, "Charge!" The three followed Lei Xingfeng into the forest.

Due to his cultivation of the Wheel Force, Lei Xingfeng could clearly sense that there were still seven or eight people in the forest. He didn't want to be on the defensive, so he took the initiative to attack.

In less than two breaths, Lei Xingfeng saw his first opponent, who was hiding behind a large tree. When Lei Xingfeng appeared, the man was startled. The man shouted and swung his long knife, chopping wildly. His face was completely twisted, staring fiercely at Lei Xingfeng, trying to kill him.

This was Lei Xingfeng's first real fight. In his previous life, he wasn't a violent person. So when the man's knife came down, he was extremely startled. The Thunder Wheel Force was fully activated, and he blocked with the dagger. Clang! A crackling sound of an electric arc, and the man suddenly stiffened.

The dagger swiftly slashed across the man's throat, and Lei Xingfeng had already darted past. The man died without understanding why he couldn't move.

Ke Dashi suddenly threw a steel spear, and with a scream, a man fell from a tree branch, still holding a long bow.

The Eagle Clan's hunters immediately broke down. The four quickly overpowered them, and although the other side was a hunting team of more than ten people, they were no match for the four. Ke Shi's shield blocked the arrows aimed at Ke Nanshan, and Ke Dashi threw another steel spear. A meter-long short steel spear was a deadly weapon at close range, and it killed another person. The Eagle Clan's people began to flee.

The opponents were too strong, their killing ability too great, and they were completely unable to resist. To save their lives, they had to run.

In the dense forest, if a hunter wanted to escape, it was very difficult to track them. Ke Dashi ordered, "Don't chase them, they've retreated!"

Ke Shi said, "There's still one alive here!"

The short battle, lasting less than a minute, was extremely brutal. As soon as they made contact, six or seven of the Eagle Clan's hunters were dead or injured, and the hunting team was completely crippled.

Ke Shi dragged an Eagle Clan hunter to an open area under a tree, stepped on his back, and said coldly, "Why did you come to our territory?" This was Tiger Cliff Fort's territory, and because it was close to Tiger Cliff Fort, the Eagle Clan's hunters never came here.

The man had been hit by an arrow in his thigh, which Lei Xingfeng had shot blindly, pinning him to a tree, allowing Ke Shi to capture him.

Ke Dashi frowned and said, "Strange, why would the Eagle Clan's people come here?"

The man struggled to turn his head and fought desperately. Ke Shi kicked him, making him groan.

Lei Xingfeng said, "Uncle Ke, we killed so many Eagle Clan people, will there be any trouble?" During the slaughter, he felt nothing, but after, he felt a bit uneasy. He had always known that the hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort and the Eagle Clan killed each other, and every year, hunters from Tiger Cliff Fort died at the hands of the Eagle Clan. The hatred between them had lasted for hundreds of years.

There were three settlements in the area: Tiger Cliff Fort, Eagle Clan, and Baijia Village. The Eagle Clan was to the north of Tiger Cliff Fort, and Baijia Village was to the south, about a hundred kilometers apart. Tiger Cliff Fort and the Eagle Clan were mortal enemies, while Baijia Village was neutral and had strong military power, capable of suppressing both Tiger Cliff Fort and the Eagle Clan. Baijia Village was responsible for fighting the barbarians, and every time the barbarians invaded, it was the people of Baijia Village who defended against them.

Ke Dashi said, "Feng, it's fine. If we weren't prepared, they would have killed us without hesitation. Ke Shi, flip him over!"

Ke Shi kicked the man over and pressed a three-sided steel spike to his chin, saying, "Don't pretend to be dead, speak! Why did you come here?"

The man's face was twisted, and he said, "You will all die! All of you in Tiger Cliff Fort will die! Ha ha... ha ha!"

Ke Nanshan said, "This guy is crazy!"

Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, "All will die? There's something in his words!"

Ke Dashi nodded and stomped on the man's arm, breaking it, and growled, "What is the Eagle Clan's plan?"

The man suddenly raised his head, and the three-sided steel spike pierced his chin, killing him instantly.

Ke Shi shook his head and said, "He's a tough guy!"

Ke Dashi smiled bitterly and said, "We can only all go back. Feng, we can't take most of the meat, leave it in the treehouse. We can't stay here."

Lei Xingfeng had to agree. Staying was too dangerous. He said, "Let's take as much as we can." The four climbed back up the tree to organize, and soon they were carrying the wild bull hides and some salted meat down the tree, each carrying a large basket, heading towards Tiger Cliff Fort.

...

By afternoon, the four had arrived at Tiger Cliff Fort. Ke Dashi blew a whistle, and the sharp sound echoed far and wide. Soon, a basket was lowered from the cliff above.

Ke Dashi put the large basket into the basket and said, "Feng, you go up first. We can't take everything in one trip, so we'll make two trips."

It took about ten minutes for the four and the four large baskets to be hoisted to the top of the cliff.

Ke Dashi knew about Lei Xingfeng's family's difficulties, so he gave him all the meat, plus a wild bull hide and horns. The other wild bull hide and horns were divided among the three of them. After delivering the items to Lei Xingfeng's home, the three left to report to the chief of Tiger Cliff Fort about the Eagle Clan's people entering Tiger Cliff Fort's hunting territory.

Lei Xingfeng carried two baskets of meat and a large bundle of wild bull hide to the wooden house. The old man, sitting on a wooden stool, looked up at him and said, "You killed someone?"

"Eh, Grandpa, how did you know?"

Lei Xingfeng couldn't understand.

The old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course I know. It's very good, cultivating the Thunder Wheel Force, the earlier you kill, the better."

Lei Xingfeng was puzzled and said, "Why?"
