Chapter 1 Blood Moon

evergreen hills are not evergreen

It was September, and the cool autumn wind had turned the Evergreen Mountains, which stretched thousands of miles, into a golden world.

In autumn, the air is crisp, and the branches of plants and trees hang a lot of fruit, and the birds and beasts are counted, and the fat and meat are raised.

It's the best hunting season

Deep in the vast Evergreen Mountains, there is a valley surrounded by mountains.The gurgling clear stream slowly flows through the silent valley, and at the lowest point of the valley, a quiet pool with a radius of tens of feet is formed.

Zhou Hao, who has a strong figure and slightly dark skin, squatted alone next to a plum blossom-shaped footprint by the pool, stretched out his hand to measure the size of the footprint, and observed it carefully for a while.

"This footprint should be left by an adult leopard two days ago." Zhou Hao shook his head in disappointment.

Straightening up, Zhou Hao sized up the open space by the pond where the footprints of prey were all over. Zhou Hao frowned, and continued: "What's going on? Where did all these prey go?"

Zhou Hao, who has just turned 16 years old, is the first time to go hunting alone in the mountains. Unfortunately, he is quite unlucky. He has been in the mountains for a long time, let alone any prey, and even the traces of fresh prey have not been found. .

It stands to reason that the edge of this pool is the place where wild beasts often appear.But Zhou Hao was busy here for a few quarters of an hour, only to find that all the footprints of the prey were not only messy, but also left two days ago, as if all the prey had suddenly evaporated out of thin air.

"I still don't believe it, such a big Evergreen Mountain, can all the prey grow wings and fly away?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao raised his head to look at the sunset scenery full of sunset clouds, and found that it was already evening before he knew it, so he hurriedly continued to check the footprints of his prey.

Just as Zhou Hao lowered his head, his heart suddenly moved. He felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly raised his head again, staring at the sunset glow all over the sky, and said, "Why is the sky so weird today? It's so fucking bright red."

Staring at the too bright red sunset glow in the sky, Zhou Hao was in a daze for a moment, then shook his head in bewilderment, and continued to look for the prey's footprints.

After a while, Zhou Hao came to a series of relatively clear footprints, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said with a hint of joy on his face: "This is the footprint of a big horned deer, it should be left this morning."

The footprints of the big-horned deer in front of me are very strange. The footprints made by three hooves are very deep, but the footprints made by the left hind leg are very shallow.

Zhou Hao looked at the strange hoof prints, and said in a low voice: "Three hoof prints are deep, and one hoof print is shallow. This must be a big horned deer with an injured left hind leg. His grandmother's, the young master has been busy for a long time, but only found such a wounded prey"

ren ceremony

According to the rules of the hunters in Changqing Mountain, if a boy who has reached the age of 16 wants to obtain the status of an official hunter and be eligible to share a share of the hunting fruits, he must hold a "ren ceremony". The prey hunted alone is accompanied by this The name of the hunter in his life also determines his status among the hunters in the future. If he hunted a deer alone at the ceremony, the hunter's title would be "Deer Hunter"; He has been known as the "Wolf Hunter" all his life.

The more ferocious and rare the prey hunted, the higher the hunter's status and reputation, and the more prey he will be able to share in the future.

Although Zhou Hao is young, he has a very good hunting ability.Especially in terms of archery skills, he is one of the best archers in eight villages, and he has already gained a reputation.

If it's just a wounded bighorn deer, it might be a good achievement for someone else.But for Zhou Hao, it was a shame to throw it home. The best prey at the renunciation ceremony, but at least it could fill his stomach. After walking around for a long time, Zhou Hao still got nothing. He only ate a few sour wild fruits at noon , My stomach was already screaming "cuckoo" with hunger.

"Alright, let's hunt this deer first and fill our stomachs." Zhou Hao straightened the compound bow with horns on his back, tightened the short knife around his waist, and prepared to chase in the direction where the big-horned deer left.

Just a few steps away, a sudden change occurred

In the northern sky, groups of dark clouds suddenly rose, and they flew towards Zhou Hao's direction quickly.

It wasn't until the dark clouds floated a little closer that Zhou Hao realized what kind of dark clouds they were. They were clearly birds, densely crowded into a group, and rushed towards this side with the aura of covering the sky and covering the sun.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hao was startled, wondering if there was a fire in the forest and drove these birds over?

Before Zhou Hao could figure it out, in the pool next to him, suddenly, it was as if a pot was boiling, and large streams of air bubbles continuously surged from the bottom of the water.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of green-skinned frogs and yellow-skinned toads crawled out of the pool one after another, jumping up and down, desperately fleeing to the nearby hillside.

Countless snakes, insects, rats and ants came out of the holes they were hiding in and crevices in the rocks, and fled desperately to the high places on the hillside.

Seeing the horrifying scene around him, Zhou Hao suddenly understood a little bit, and hurriedly took steps, wanting to run to the open space in the valley.

It's just that before Zhou Hao took the first step, a shocking disaster suddenly struck

Twenty miles to the north of Zhou Hao, Changqing Mountain, which has always been peaceful, suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand.

Accompanied by a series of thunder-like loud noises, the ground suddenly cracked a huge fissure several feet wide, tens of miles long, and bottomless.

And the huge stratum to the north of the fissure broke apart suddenly, and collapsed more than ten feet in one fell swoop.

With the collapsed strata as the center, a huge evergreen mountain suddenly rolled up a series of huge shock waves, which spread in all directions at lightning speed.

Wherever the huge shock wave went, it was like the doomsday descending on the earth, jumping up and down, dancing an extremely crazy dance; the trees all over the mountains and plains seemed to be all epileptic, swaying left and right violently; There are also large boulders flying down the hillside amidst the loud noise of "rumbling".

The shock wave was transmitted to his feet in an instant, and Zhou Hao suddenly felt as if he was in a stormy sea, and he staggered and couldn't stand still at all.

Zhou Hao, who looked shocked, felt that he might fall to the ground at any time, so he quickly exerted force on his feet and firmly nailed himself to the ground.

Just as he stabilized his figure, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him.

Zhou Hao quickly turned his head and saw a huge boulder the size of the Table of Eight Immortals, rolling down the steep hillside quickly, carrying tremendous force, whizzing straight to the back

The boulder was less than two feet away from his back, and Zhou Hao was about to be smashed into a pulp by the boulder.

At the very moment, Zhou Hao's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could think about it, like a conditioned reflex, his feet, waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and he performed a neat backflip, and his figure suddenly jumped more than a foot into the air

Zhou Hao's figure had just risen to the top when the boulder rolled two or three feet below him in an instant.

Zhou Hao, who had exhausted his rising momentum, immediately rushed down and slammed into the extremely fast rolling boulder, and his brains were about to burst

Zhou Hao, who was in mid-air, suddenly stretched out his hands, and slapped fiercely on the rapidly rolling boulder

Zhou Hao, whose life was hanging by a thread, slapped his hands with all his strength, with a force of hundreds of catties, and his whole body was like a dragonfly splashing water. Zhou Hao rose a few feet again, exerted strength in his waist and abdomen in mid-air, and turned over .

The tumbling boulder rubbed against the soles of Zhou Hao's feet, roaring past.

Dodging the deadly boulder, Zhou Hao fell to the ground with lingering fear, rubbing his arm that was sore from the shock of the boulder, Zhou Hao cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I actually hit an earthquake!"

Having grown so big, Zhou Hao has never heard of an earthquake in this Evergreen Mountain.It was the first time to experience this kind of thing, even if Zhou Hao had a strong mind, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

However, the earthquake came suddenly, and it went away very quickly. In less than a dozen breaths, the earth gradually calmed down.

But this short ten breaths of effort has already greatly changed the appearance of Changqing Mountain

On the surrounding hilltops, there are large and small cracks everywhere.Large expanses of rock and soil were directly shaken down, exposing the dark brown land inside, like huge ugly scars.

The trees on the hillside were directly knocked down by the earthquake, and many trees were broken by the rolling boulders.

In the valley, there are piles of fallen gravel, mud and broken wood everywhere, and the stream that passes through the valley has been completely blocked.

Looking at the unrecognizable surroundings, Zhou Hao turned his mind slightly, and immediately thought of those large prey that disappeared.

The senses of those large prey are far more sensitive than those of birds, snakes, insects, rats and ants. They probably sensed the precursor of a major earthquake early and fled far away two days ago. I am afraid that there is no suitable place for the surrounding large forest. prey. At the ceremony, if you hunted enough ferocious and rare enough prey, you can only go further into the deep mountains.

As a result, it was even more urgent to hunt the injured big-horned deer for rations.

"No matter what, I must hunt a rare and ferocious prey to become the best hunter."

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Zhou Hao's radiant eyes, he turned around and rushed into the dense forest where the big horned deer disappeared.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the light in the dense forest was very dim.

But that didn't get in the way in the slightest.I saw Zhou Hao speeding through the dense forest like a swift and fierce cheetah.Those light footsteps, stepping on the thick dead branches and leaves, even leaped onto the branches blocking the way without a sound, and by the counter force of the branches, the legs were two feet away.

In order to track down the injured big-horned deer, Zhou Hao, who was running at a high speed, also needed to stop from time to time, or check the direction of the footprints, or look at the branches that were hung up by the big-horned deer's pair of huge antlers, so as to judge the time when the big-horned deer passed by. and routes.

But it is by no means an easy task to track down a prey that has been away for most of the day.

No, Zhou Hao tracked in the dense forest for half an hour, until he turned over a mountain and passed through the entire forest, but he still failed to catch up with the big horned deer.What appeared in front of Zhou Hao's eyes was a large meadow that could not be seen to the side. The meadow was full of weeds as tall as half a person.Judging from the direction and time of the footprints, the big horned deer was probably hiding among the dense grass.

Looking at the large meadow, Zhou Hao grinned, then turned around and walked under a towering giant tree, sprinted a few steps on the ground, followed by a high jump, and grabbed the lowest position with one arm. Swinging a branch with one arm, the whole person flew into the air and stood firmly on a higher branch.

At this time, Zhou Hao was like an elf jumping among the branches, but in an instant, he stood on the top of a giant tree more than twenty feet high, and his whole body was accompanied by the tender branches and leaves, swaying gently from side to side in the breeze, He began to look far away, searching for the figure of the big horned deer.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and the moon had just emerged, so the light was extremely poor.Even if Zhou Hao has amazing eyesight, it is by no means an easy task to spot the prey hiding in the long grass

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Hao still couldn't find the big horned deer.

At this time, a full moon rose completely.

But the strange thing is that the moon tonight is actually a blood moon that is as scarlet as blood

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Hao suddenly saw the blood-red full moon, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

Under the reflection of this blood moon, the mountains, rivers and land that had just experienced a major earthquake, in Zhou Hao's eyes, seemed to be covered with a scarlet blood veil, which was indescribably strange and penetrating.

"When the moon shows a vision, there must be demons and beasts appearing in the world." Zhou Hao remembered the words occasionally mentioned by the old people in the village, and then murmured: "This blood moon should be regarded as a vision? Is it a demon or a ghost?" Fierce beasts? Could it be that these monsters and beasts were shaken out by the earthquake? Hehe, this is the first time I went hunting alone, and I encountered so many strange things, which is a bit interesting."

Zhou Hao thought for a while, then suddenly pursed his lips, raised his head and let out a long whistle of "Woo".

The long howling echoed repeatedly among the mountains and spread far away.

After the long roar, Zhou Hao turned over and got off the tree, found a boulder on the meadow, lay down on his back, looked at the blood moon in the sky, and waited quietly.

After half an hour, there was a sudden rustling sound from the nearby long grass

A white figure suddenly jumped out of the long grass and rushed towards Zhou Hao

This white figure threw itself on Zhou Hao's body, and actually stuck out its tongue, warmly touching Zhou Hao's face a few times.

And Zhou Hao also put his arms around the white shadow's neck, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and said with a smile: "Shanhu, why did it take you so long to arrive? Did the earthquake not do anything to you?"

"Wow woof, woof woof" the white shadow shook its big fluffy tail, looking extremely excited.

"You guys are so excited, did you catch the prey?"

Bai Ying didn't respond to Zhou Hao's question, but instead bit Zhou Hao's trousers, and dragged Zhou Hao away.

Zhou Hao, who was dragged off the boulder, asked in surprise, "Shanhu, what are you trying to do in such a hurry?"

The white shadow didn't pay any attention, and dragged Zhou Hao deep into the woods, disappearing into the depths of the forest in a short while.
