Chapter 562 Open your mouth
The arrow whizzed through the air and pierced the deer's heart, sending the deer flying two feet away.
He fell to the ground without moving, completely dead.
Zhou Guo smiled, "Master, we have venison for dinner!"
The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, your archery skills are getting better and better."
After walking another half a mile, Zhou Guo saw two or three martens, but unfortunately they were very fast, like lightning. Often, before she could even pick up her bow, they would disappear in a flash.
It is simply a fantasy to think of hunting with this method.
After walking for another half an hour, seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Zhou Guo said dejectedly: "Master, let's come back another day. I'm afraid we won't be able to hunt today."
The old man was about to nod when he caught a glimpse of something moving in the distance out of the corner of his eye.
Zhou Guo also noticed it and quickly turned his head to take a look. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring it away, he would have wanted to laugh out loud with joy. What he wanted was really what he got. He hadn't seen a single hair of the big beast for so many days, but now this white fox had come, right?
As if sensing the danger, the fox turned around and ran away!
"Chase!" Zhou Guo started running.
The old man also ran behind.
Now that she had encountered it, she couldn't let it run away. It was really not easy to encounter one of these things. She hadn't encountered one in the past few years. Perhaps it was because she hadn't paid attention. Fox meat smelled strong, and it wasn't like she had nothing to eat, so she could just catch that thing and eat it.
Zhou Guo was the first to run in front. Fortunately, there was not much snow in the forest yet. The spot of white in the mud was very conspicuous, making it very easy to catch up.
After chasing for a whole hill, the two of them finally split up into two groups and surrounded the fox before they finally caught it.
Zhou Guo rushed forward and picked up the dead fox in his hand, looking its whole body over. The fur was pure white, fluffy and thick, and most importantly, it was shiny and extremely glossy. It looked exactly like rabbit skin, the difference was like heaven and earth.
"Master, Master, look, fox fur is prettier than rabbit fur!"
The old man said, "You are talking nonsense. The whole mountain is full of rabbits. Have you ever seen a mountain full of foxes?"
He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. "Let's go. It's what you want. Let's go back."
Zhou Guo happily followed behind, carrying the fox, while the old man walked in front carrying the deer.
I had just walked a dozen steps when I heard a terrifying roar coming from somewhere in the mountain. The sound shook the whole area, and the birds and beasts in the forest flew out and ran away.
Zhou Guo could feel the turbulence coming from all around him, as if even the ground was shaking.
I couldn't help but ask the old man, "Master, what is this?"
Looking around, they couldn't figure out where the sound came from or how far away it was.
The old man turned around and looked at her with an ambiguous expression, "It's a big bug!"
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he pricked up his ears excitedly, wanting to see where the shouting came from.
Zhou Guo swallowed her saliva. It couldn’t be that magical. Was her mouth blessed by some bodhisattva when she was reincarnated? Why is it so effective?
What do you mean?
A little nervous, he tugged at the old man's clothes and said, "Master, let's go back. It's getting dark and we can't see anything in the forest. How can we fight? Don't look back..."
He swallowed back the words he hadn't finished speaking.
Let’s not talk about it, she has been blessed.
The old man said excitedly: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have your master? If we can defeat this big beast, we will have tiger skin, tiger meat, tiger bones, and tiger penis, all of which are good things!"
Zhou Guo glanced at the sky worriedly, "But it's getting dark, we will suffer."
The old man looked at her and said, "Think about how close this place is to the village. If we don't hunt it today, Xu will come down the mountain and enter the village tomorrow. It will be troublesome once it enters the village. Besides, our farm is the closest to the mountain. If it wants to attack, it will start from the farm. No one in the farm can control it. Don't you look at your precious sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms like eyeballs?"
Zhou Guo thought about it, tightened the bow and arrow in his hand, and nodded, "Okay, let's hunt the big insect before going back."
Although he said that, he still swallowed nervously. That was a big beast, a tiger, the king of beasts!
There are no natural enemies in the woods!
The old man didn't care about that. He was really greedy for the tiger bones and had wanted to get one for a long time, but he had never seen one. Today he was really lucky.
He stood still and determined the direction, then pointed to the southeast and said, "This way."
He walked ahead with the bow and arrow in his hand.
Zhou Guo pulled out an arrow and chased after him. She couldn't let the old man take the risk alone. The victory would be greater with her around.
The roaring sound seemed to be not far away, but after the two ran for about a quarter of an hour, the forest gradually darkened, and they could not find any trace of the beast.
Zhou Guo lit a torch and held it in his hand.
As the old man walked, he noticed that the surroundings were getting much brighter. He turned around and saw Zhou Guo following him with a torch in his hand. He was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Guo saw him stop and was puzzled. "What's wrong? Let's go."
The old man said: "...beasts are afraid of fire. Can we still hunt it if you hold this thing?"
Zhou Guo blinked his eyes. "But I can't see it without fire. How can we find it without light? It can see us. We were not careful at night and it rushed out from nowhere. It was so fast and powerful. I am so small that I can't even withstand a single blow!"
The old man was speechless.
Zhou Guo said again: "Master, don't worry. The big insect is so powerful. The temptation of the two of us is always greater than the power of this torch. How could it miss the opportunity to have a full meal? After eating the two of us, it won't have to look for food for a month. This temptation is too great. It won't run away."
The old man frowned, "Can you just use this mouth of yours to vent your anger right now? What are you talking about?"
Zhou Guo quickly shut up.
Both the master and the disciple were concentrating fully, taking each step very carefully, because this thing was too fast, it came over in a flash!
They walked for about another quarter of an hour, and as the forest became quieter and quieter, they could hear each other's breathing.
The old man and the young boy stopped at the same time, and Zhou Guo stuck the torch into the ground.
The master and the disciple raised their bows and arrows at the same time and stood back to back.
The old man didn't have that much strength, and the bow in his hand weighed less than two stones.
Zhou Guo specially made a three-stone bow for herself. In fact, she thought she could try a four-stone or even a five-stone bow next time. In the past two years, not only her martial arts skills but also her strength had increased. The three-stone bow was easy to pull and not that handy.
But since she has done it and spent so much money on it, she can't just throw it away. If she doesn't use it, no one else in the family can use it, and the old man can't even use it, so she can only use it as it is. Fortunately, it is more than enough for hunting.
Zhou Guo raised his bow and arrow and whispered to the old man, "Master, change the direction. My bow is more powerful."
