Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 10 Hunting Plan
"Tomorrow you come to practice guns, and I will introduce you to the two hunters who went into the mountain with us."

Before Zhao Lin left, Zhou Paotou told him.

"No problem, how are they?" Zhao Lin asked.

Teamwork, the relationship between members is very important, it is best not to encounter difficult people.

"Don't worry, they are all real people." Zhou Paotou patted his chest and said.

Zhao Lin didn't say anything else. Before it was dark, he climbed over several mountains and took a shortcut back to Sanjia Village.

"Father and mother, my brother's matter has a clue."

Zhao Lin said as soon as he entered the door.

"So fast?"

"What do people say?"

The old man put down the cigarette bag in his hand, and the old woman rushed out from the kitchen.

"The man's cousin is a stone trench official in the yamen. He is in charge of this area. He said that he can send my brother out if he reports a serious illness."

In order to reassure his parents, Zhao Lin decided not to reveal the truth, and brazenly told the nonsense that he had made up in advance.

"Then I have to send money, how much?" Father Zhao asked with some worry.

Zhao Lindao: "I haven't said it yet, but it shouldn't cost much to find the right way this time."

Father Zhao went back to the house and found a wooden box from under the bed, and handed it to Zhao Lin, "You saved the money for me, do you think it's enough?"

Zhao Lin pushed the box back, "Don't be in a hurry to give the money, it will take some time to clear up the relationship. I guess people will be released in ten days and half a month."

"The boss can come out!"

"Great!"

With tears in their eyes, the two elders were very excited...

The next day, Zhao Lin went out to the town to buy some food such as grain, oil, meat and eggs, and carried them to Zhou Paotou's house.

Before the action, he will live and eat at Zhou Paotou's house, and he can't just use other people's money.

"Brother Zhao is too far-fetched, brother here has everything, hehe..."

Zhou Paotou spoke politely, but the expression on his face showed that he was very satisfied with Zhao Lin's move.

Little things depend on character, so don't worry about cooperating with such a person.

Zhao Lin ate something to fill his stomach, and then stretched his hands and feet in the yard to warm up, preparing to practice shooting later.

"I'll go get those two."

Zhou Baotou confessed and went out the door.

Not long after, there was a burst of talking outside the courtyard gate, occasionally mixed with Zhou Paotou's hearty laughter.

"Squeak..."

Zhou Paotou led two men with bows and arrows and hunting knives into the room.

"Brother Pao." Zhao Lin stepped forward to greet him.

Zhou Paotou said "Yes", introducing the two parties to each other.

The two people who came were hunters from Baiqiao Village. One was called Zhu Dachun and the other was called Liang Song. They were cousins.

Zhu Dachun is about 40 years old, tall and tall, nearly half a head taller than Zhao Lin, with a rough appearance and a green stubble on his chin.

Liang Song is much younger, he looks less than twenty, with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows, giving people a feeling of youth and maturity.

Zhao Lindao: "Brother Liang, I wish you the best."

He has just turned 16, and everyone he sees has to be called brother.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Liang Song replied politely.

Zhu Dachun looked surprised, turned to Zhou Paotou and said, "He is the master you invited? Still get [-]%?" His tone was very dissatisfied.

Zhou Paotou didn't answer, and asked Zhao Lin with a smile: "Brother, why don't you practice shooting?"

Zhao Lin understood, knowing that he wanted to show his strength, picked up the iron gun on the ground, stepped back a few steps, and suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

Liang Song and Zhu Dachun only felt a sharp piercing sound in their ears, a figure flashed, and the iron gun turned into a black light.

When he looked again, Zhao Linren was already seven steps away, with a one-hundred-jin iron spear firmly held in front of his chest.

The faces of the two couldn't hide the shock. They had known Zhou Paotou for many years and had played with this iron gun, so they naturally knew its weight.

They can't do it anyway like Zhao Lin.

Zhou Paotou laughed and said: "Whatever, no matter what kind of beast it is, if it gets shot, it will probably be eaten and walked around."

"Good skill!" Zhu Dachun praised with a thumbs up.

Zhao Lin clenched his fists in the air, without the slightest smug expression on his face.

There is nothing to be proud of. I can have such great strength thanks to my golden fingers. Regardless of experience or brains, I may not be better than others. It is better to maintain a humble and cautious attitude.

Zhou Paotou, Liang Song, and Zhu Dachun set up a low table in the yard, lit a brazier, and sat around to discuss the killing of warehouses.

The three of you talked to each other, and the discussion was in full swing.

When Zhao Lin got tired from practicing, he just listened for a while and didn't interrupt, because he was a professional after all.

He wanted to learn some hunting experience, which might be useful in the future.

The Spiritual Beast Map obtains abilities by absorbing the spirits of beasts, so in the future, I will have to deal with wild beasts and even strange beasts. It is beneficial and harmless to master more hunting methods.

Two days passed like this, and Zhao Lin became more and more proficient at stabbing the spear.

Spearmanship is difficult to practice. Although there is only one move in the spear-piercing style, it requires extremely high bodywork and footwork, and the coordination of body and mind, otherwise, the slightest difference will be a thousand miles away.

The more Zhao Lin practiced, the more addicted he became. He was always thinking about how to store energy, how to adjust his breathing, even eating and sleeping without consciously thinking about the movements of the gun...

Zhou Paotou's discussion is almost the same.

The general plan is that Zhao Lin will use iron guns to inflict damage, and when Xiong Wei comes out of the cave, Zhou Paotou and the others will use bows and arrows and large animal traps arranged in advance to make a second strike.

Their goal is not to kill the bear directly, but to reduce its mobility.

The strategy is to fight and retreat, not to get entangled with Xiong Wei, and wait for the opportunity to move when it is exhausted.

There is a key point here: all weapons are quenched with poison to enhance their lethality, and before awakening the bear, a large number of poisonous insects are thrown into the hole to weaken its strength as much as possible.

Zhou Paotou took a sip of tea and said to Zhao Lin: "Brother Zhao must give Xiong Wei a hard time before he wakes up, otherwise it will be useless to use more methods in the future, we only have one way to escape."

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement, and asked, "Can you throw some poisonous and flammable things into the cave first, and smoke it with poisonous smoke?"

Zhu Dachun replied for Zhou Paotou: "I'm afraid it's not right, Xiong Dongmian sleeps very lightly, and a slight movement can wake it up."

Liang Song said, "At that time, it will be very irritable, and it will be difficult for you to think of a gun to stab it."

"Then act according to the plan, focus on consumption, and don't fight head-on."

Zhou Paotou concluded.

Zhao Lin nodded and said, "I understand. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."

The three of them looked at him together, and Zhou Pao clapped his hands together and said, "Wonderful, that's really good!"

Zhao Lin grinned, Xindao's powerful tactical thinking was not something I summed up.

The plan has been made, and everyone has divided their tasks.

Zhu Dachun is in charge of buying poison.

The poison is arsenic and aconitum, both of which are highly poisonous, and they must be registered in the medicine hall, and there is a quota for daily sales.

Zhu Dachun's task is to go to the pharmacies in various villages and towns in Qinghe County to buy medicines.

Zhou Paotou and Liang Song were in charge of collecting poisonous insects, and went under the rocks and in the crevices of the rocks to look for hibernating scorpions, centipedes, and poisonous spiders...

Zhao Lin also had a task to collect firewood nearby to keep the kang in Zhou Paotou's house burning.

As the room warms up, the poisonous insects caught will slowly wake up, and then give Xiong Wei a big surprise.

The days are fulfilling and busy.

Zhou Paotou and Liang Song caught dozens of poisonous insects in two days and kept them in several iron cages in the kitchen.

The poisonous insects in the mountains are all very big. Centipedes that are half a foot long, and scorpions with huge poisonous claws make people feel creepy.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Lin caught a scorpion and trampled it to death when no one else was around.

He could see the spirit of the scorpion, but there was no response from the spirit beast map.

Zhao Lin was a little disappointed, thinking that the scorpion must have special skills. Its special feature is that it is highly poisonous, and he couldn't absorb its spirit, probably because of the different body structure.

"It would be great if I could also release poison. I remember that there is a martial art in the novel called Dusha Palm..."

……

That night, when the four of them were sitting around eating together, Zhou Paotou suddenly said: "Spring is coming soon, and you can see the sunset in the past two days. The next few days should be sunny, or you can do it the day after tomorrow!"
