Chapter 77 2 Master and the Bronze Bell

Chapter 77: Second Master and the Bronze Bell

The second master is not a hunter, he is a fifty-year-old man with a bookish air.

Judging from his appearance and temperament, he is more like a teacher or an accountant than the leader of a group of hunters.

Since he joined the gang, he has helped the hunters count the goods and calculate the income and expenditure, which has increased the income of Boss Pan and his gang several times.

Even the good idea of ​​joining Moyun Village came from him.

Although the hunters were rough people, they were very respectful to the Second Master.

Because Erye is a rare master of strong power, and his strength is even greater than that of Boss Pan.

Why such an outstanding person would stoop to the ranks of hunters is a mystery.

The mountain temple in the evening...

The second master came back exhausted with a sack on his left shoulder. Several wild dogs flew past him, fighting to bite a piece of his broken arm, their eyes red.

Looking at the flat land next to the mountain temple, the soil was turned inside out, and large pits were dug out, with fragments of corpses buried in them.

He nodded, and before he even entered the door he yelled, "Come back with a breath."

A hunter with his head wrapped in white cloth came rushing over, "Second Master, you're back."

The mountain temple was filled with corpses and wounded people, and the sound of wailing continued.

There were only 7 or 8 complete living people who could stand, not even enough to fill two palms.

"Where's Boss Pan?"

Erye thought that they had encountered a strong enemy and were beaten so badly that only these were left out of more than a hundred people.

While he was thinking, a hunter brought a basin to him and said, "Boss Pan is here again."

The ceramic basin was filled with lime, in which Pan Lao Da's shrunken head was pickled. Fortunately, it was dehydrated in time and did not start to stink.

Boss Pan is dead too!
This hunter leader is ferocious and cruel, fearless of death, and he has subjugated more than a hundred hunters. His strength is not to be underestimated.

Erye took a deep breath and asked, "How many of you are left?"

How do I know this?

Several hunters looked at each other, and some even counted on their fingers in front of him.

"Forget it, forget it, tell me what happened?"

Erye rubbed his temple. What a bunch of rough guys. They only know how to drink and play with women. Their brains are empty.

It turned out that Wang Jianxiong had sent people to negotiate, but they started fighting after a disagreement, killing dozens of people on the spot and twisting off Boss Pan's head.

"Could it be a Qi and Blood Warrior? Did he announce his name?"

Erye was a little nervous. Although he was a master of strong force, he was no match for someone at the level of qi and blood.

If the person who came was a disciple from the inner courtyard, he would have to abandon the mountain temple and go to Moyun Village.

"No, we all know the famous Qi and Blood Warriors in the martial arts hall. The ones who came here are just two young boys with unfamiliar faces."

"Boss Pan was careless and wanted to get intimate with them, but he got his head twisted off by someone close to him."

If Boss Pan failed, then what happened to all the corpses and wounded people in the temple?

Injuring or killing dozens of hunters in one breath, this kind of long-lasting and tenacious skill is not something that ordinary warriors can do.

In response to this question, the hunters pulled a few wounded people from the ground and replied.

There's no way. Anyone with intact limbs, who can stand and walk, has never been seen by Zhou You and the others.

All those who had met or fought were either injured or dead.

"The two little bastards call each other Zhou You and Li Hao. The one who calls Zhou You is the most cruel and fierce."

"It's obvious that they are newbies with no experience walking in the mountains. The brothers quickly caught up with them, shot arrows from nowhere, set bows, and drove away wild beasts to consume their energy." Well, this is the usual method used by hunters, and it's quite standard.

After listening to this, the second master nodded. Yes, the mountains are the hunters’ home turf, and there are many methods that can be used.

"At first I had the upper hand, but he was very cunning. Every time he suffered a loss, his skills would increase by ten points. Soon, I had no effect on him."

"Two days ago, he stole a hornet's nest and killed two or three of my brothers. He rushed out while we were in a panic... Wow, they are all dead. I slipped and fell off the mountain path, and rolled into a pile of dry grass, only then I survived."

The wounded man had a broken arm, half of his face was sunken, his whole body was swollen, and his speech was intermittent.

As he described the scene, his eyes flickered and he was obviously extremely frightened.

Erye listened to him patiently and asked for a few more details.

Apparently, Zhou You has been active in various places nearby recently, engaging in guerrilla warfare with the hunters.

The hunters were familiar with the terrain and could climb mountains and trek as if they were walking on flat ground, but this advantage did not last long.

Zhou You learned and improved quickly, and in turn took advantage of the terrain to defeat the enemy with more people and continuously eliminated the hunters' manpower.

"Second Master, he has eyes all over his body. No matter how the brothers ambush him, they can't hide from him!"

"He used his hands and feet to climb the steep slope, grabbing onto the protruding rocks and leaping like flying. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, and reappeared behind him the next moment, grabbing his brothers and throwing them into the valley."

The wounded man became more and more terrified as he spoke. He could no longer stand and staggered to the ground, unable to get up again.

It was already dark, and hunters began to return one after another. A few of them looked injured and bruised, and all of them looked miserable.

Some even said bluntly, "I can't go there anymore. I just saved my life today."

After the returning hunters entered the temple, they sat in the corner with their eyes closed, as if they were dead.

Erye looked around and roughly counted that there were less than 30 people who were still breathing.

More than a hundred hunters were beaten like this, with less than 30% of them left, and they were completely disabled.

"This young man has already trained the essence of the tiger form into his limbs and instincts. He can fight in the mountains as if he were walking on flat ground. You are no match for him."

No matter how powerful a hunter is, he is still a human being. But if one practices the Subduing Tiger Fist to a high level, he can transform into a human-shaped tiger and roar like a king in the mountains.

The Second Master stretched his arms and legs, "Now I have to do it myself."

"After this is done, Wang Lao Hu will definitely come to call for justice. We cannot stay here any longer. We will go to Tianling Moyun Village."

The hunters cheered after hearing this. This was what they had been holding on for until now.

How can the hard work of hunting and sleeping in the open air be compared to being a mountain king, eating meat and drinking wine, which is comfortable and satisfying?
"But if you want to join a stronghold, you must have a letter of surrender."

The second master stretched out his slender hand, motioning the hunter to move aside, and walked to the stone bell in the center of the mountain temple.

His eyes swept across the surface of the stone clock and he let out a light breath.

The next moment, the palm of the hand slapped the surface of the stone bell. The force penetrated the surface of the stone shell and drilled into the interior, causing a crisp collision sound.

With a snap, the two-finger-thick stone shell peeled off, and a copper-colored beam of light rose.

The hunters were stunned. They had been staying in the mountain temple for a long time and thought it was a huge bell carved out of stone.

Unexpectedly, the stone shell was just a cover, and a huge bronze bell was hidden inside.

Calculated based on the volume of the bell, the bronze bell hidden inside must weigh at least 7 to 8 kilograms.

7 to 8 kilograms of top-quality copper is a huge fortune.

Gold, silver, copper, iron and tin are collectively called five metals because these five metals are equivalent to wealth.

Copper can be used to cast coins and refine weapons, especially purified red copper, which is a real hard commodity.

Take this as a token of your surrender and go to Moyun Village. At least you can get a seat as the leader and enjoy a good life!
The outer mountains shrouded in night were exceptionally quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects and roaring of beasts, followed by a long period of dead silence.
