Chapter 522 Harvest and Death
A deep, calm pool.
Bluestone, green moss, and occasional scattered broken bones.
Although there is a water source here, it is a place that few creatures dare to approach in the primitive forest.
Because in this deep pool, which is as big as a pond, lives a terrifying silver-white water dragon.
The hunting team was hiding nearby and was somewhat worried about Li Yuan's safety.
They saw with their own eyes that Li Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed, and the water in the pool parted, and even turned the water flow into steps, allowing them to go deeper into it step by step.
This was a method they had never seen before.
If they were not familiar with Li Yuan, they would have thought that God had manifested His power.
However, after Li Yuan entered the pool, the water slowly flowed back and covered him, and there had been no movement for a long time.
"When the sun reaches the top of the mountain, if there is still no movement, return to the cave."
Jiang Shi slowly weighed the stone spear in his hand. Obviously, if Li Yuan's life or death was unknown, he was ready to take the risk and go into the water to investigate the situation.
The female warrior in the team shook her head: "I'll go with you."
Several other soldiers also looked determined: "Li Yuan took a risk for us, we can't abandon him easily."
Jiang Shi took a deep breath: "If the situation changes, we can't all die here."
With a domineering look in his eyes, he confronted the warriors of the hunting team one by one.
As a 'hunter', ensuring the survival of the tribe and protecting the survival of team members are the primary considerations.
If they have to go deep into danger, he is the only one who can go!
Just as they were about to continue discussing, there was a slight movement in the calm lake water.
The soldiers were on high alert and held their weapons tightly.
First some bubbles appeared in the pond water, and then it began to boil and surge violently.
A dozen hunting warriors looked on in confusion, unsure of what was going on.
suddenly.
A huge figure rushed out of the water.
It was a silver-white water dragon with a snake body and four legs, a single horn on its head, and a mouth like that of a crocodile and a lion.
The water dragon is more than thirty meters long and its body is three or four meters thick.
It twisted endlessly in the air, emitting electric light all over its body, as if it was fighting against something.
Jiang Shi and others looked intently, but saw a scene that shocked them.
In mid-air, Li Yuan stood in mid-air. Although his body was small, he exuded infinite pressure.
With a gentle breath, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as various original energies, rushed in, turned into an invisible vortex, and poured into Li Yuan's body.
A huge water dragon, possessing terrifying lightning magic.
But in front of Li Yuan at this moment, it seemed like an insignificant toy.
The water dragon roared and emitted lightning, trying to break through some kind of restriction.
But Li Yuan just stretched out his hand, and some kind of force that Jiang Shi and others could not understand bound the water dragon tightly.
Li Yuan said softly: "Behead."
The huge water dragon, the overlord of the deep pool, was broken into several pieces in an instant.
Li Yuan still stood in mid-air, seemingly in deep thought.
A dragon that has not yet reached the immortal realm, even if it has lost all its immortal power, is enough to deal with...
Just...becoming an immortal? Immortal power?
Li Yuan had some vague memories in his mind, but he couldn't recall them clearly for the moment.
He vaguely remembered that he was...related to a mountain.
When the hunting team carried the broken body of the water dragon and ran quickly towards the cave.
Li Yuancai finally came out of that confused state and slowly flew down from the sky.
The soldiers looked at him with a change in their eyes. If Li Yuan's body was not the same as that of an acquired human, they might have thought that Li Yuan was some powerful innate god.
However, when Li Yuan scratched his head and asked which part of the water dragon was delicious, everyone smiled in sudden realization.
No matter who Li Yuan is, as long as he has no hostility towards the Tianhuang tribe, he is a friend worth trusting, isn't he?
When returning to the cave.
We happened to meet a team from the Tianhuang tribe that was transporting prey.
When they saw Jiang Shi and his team returning carrying the water dragon's corpse, everyone in the transport team was stunned.
"Jiang Lie, you guys actually went to hunt dragons?!"
The leader of the transport team was shocked.
Jiang Shi smiled heartily and pointed at Li Yuan: "He has a way, he is very powerful!"
Jiang Shi did not explain too much to those people. Even if he did, it would be hard for them to believe it without having witnessed it with their own eyes.
The transport team put down the pieces of meat of the兏 and urgently transported the body of the water dragon back.
They needed to go back and quickly smoke and preserve the water dragon's meat.
The meat of this powerful creature will help the young children of the Tianhuang tribe have a better chance of surviving the harsh winter.
Over the years, the Tianhuang tribe has opened up a safer route between the plateau and the mountain caves, so there is no need to worry too much during transportation.
After obtaining a batch of newly polished weapons from the transport team, Jiang Shi and others started a new hunt after a night's rest.
They felt lucky that in the big hunt before the severe winter this year, because of Li Yuan's presence, no one in their team was killed.
This would have been unimaginable in previous years.
In particular, as Li Yuan recalled many ways of performing magic spells.
This hunt turned out to be a great harvest.
Every time he selected his prey, Li Yuan would directly take action and freeze it in mid-air, and then things would become simple.
Although there was no immortal power, only spiritual energy responding to Li Yuan's magic, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too rich.
Once those primitive creatures are immobilized, there is no way to break free.
The warriors of the hunting team are almost too busy to transport the prey every day.
After hearing the news, the tribe sent more young and strong men to assist the transport team in sending back the prey as soon as possible.
If the meat is not processed in time, it will breed poisonous insects.
While hunting continuously, the hunting team even set their sights on stronger creatures.
A mixed-blooded Suanni.
Although Li Yuan took some effort and his hair stood on end due to the electric shock from Suanni, he still managed to take it down.
The mountain-like body made Jiang Shi and others smile with joy.
As a result, they finished work early and, together with the transport team, transported all the prey back to the tribe.
When they returned to the tribe, they saw the women and elders of the tribe busy all the time, and then they realized how much prey they had brought back from this hunting trip.
The prey brought back by their hunting team alone, after being smoked, is enough for the entire tribe to eat for half a year.
After all, the meat of some powerful creatures is of extraordinary quality and can provide exceptionally abundant energy.
The relatives in the tribe who had been looking forward to it, seeing Jiang Shi's hunting team return intact, could not help but kowtow to the totem, expressing gratitude for the blessings of the innate gods and the chaotic gods and demons.
But, after half a month.
When other hunting teams gradually returned, Li Yuan finally understood why Jiang Shi and others felt that it was extremely lucky to have no casualties.
More than a dozen hunting teams, totaling more than two hundred warriors.
Except for the hunting team that Li Yuan was in, in other teams, only half of the people came back alive.
Moreover, although the amount of prey brought back was quite a bit, it was barely enough to feed a few hundred people for a few days, so it was not considered too much.
Most of the hunting teams returned covered in blood, with everyone injured.
In particular, there was a certain hunting team, from which no one returned until the last days before the severe winter.
The tribe sent people to look for it, but they only found a lot of bloodstains in the primitive mountains and forests.
There are also some blood-stained bone ornaments, telling the story of the last scene.
Many women and old people were crying, and there were also children crying.
For some families, losing their pillar is like the sky falling.
Hunting is accompanied by death and sacrifice.
Especially the big hunt before the harsh winter.
For the warriors, it is either to bring back enough prey, to be with their loved ones, and to try to survive the difficult days.
Or, they will be buried in the primitive mountains and forests, becoming nutrients for primitive beasts to survive the harsh winter.
