Chapter 27: The Ruinic Forest Of Relics [I]
Wang Wei led the tribe deep into the heart of the forest, slowly. Because the Ironwood tribe had been hunting here for several years now, it was rare to encounter groups of prey outside of the forest and its outskirts.
Wang Wei led people to search the outermost part of the forest for almost two hours, but they only encountered a few preys. In desperation, Wang Wei, relying on the strong lineup of this trip, decided to go deeper into the forest.
They couldn’t afford to lose face in front of the Han tribe now, could they?
Under Wang Wei’s order, the clansmen were divided into eight groups. Among the twenty members in each group, ten clansmen lined up in front with cold weapons. The other ten were armed with hand cannons, and were responsible for others protection at a distance of four or five meters behind.
Every time they encountered a prey, several groups of people slowly form an encircling rong from the outside, and then the group commander would command each group of archers to shoot first. When there was a prey that had slipped away, it would be hunted and killed by the group with the spears.
The hand cannons were always responsible for the hunt protection. If it wasn’t a last resort, they wouldn’t shoot. Otherwise, from the cannon sound, all the preys around the forest would be startled away. In the past few minutes, at most forty or fifty cannons were brought out for hunting.
The reason why they brought so much this time was mainly for the show to Young Master Han.

Tribal people had an unwritten rule of hunting since ancient times, that was, hunting only a small part of prey that lived in groups, and hunting only adults when they encounter prey that lived alone. This was also for the continuity of the hunting, not to be totally killed. freewe bnovel .com
But if they encountered a high level monster, they could try to hit it, but if they couldn’t hit it, they would have to run away. Of course, there were not a few people who were too late to run. Every year, a large number of tribal people were eaten by monsters while hunting.
“Fei’er, if we go further, we will reach the realm where low-level monsters often hunt.” Mammoth couldn’t help whispering to Wang Wei.
“Well, I see. Let the information spread around and make the people to be more careful. If we have other options, we don’t want to use the hand cannons. They are last resorts” After Wang Wei said those words, he drew a feather arrow from his back and put it on the string.
In recent years, Wang Wei and Zu Ruo had been practicing archery. Because of his spiritual power, Wang Wei could already be compared to the adults of his clan in strength, and his vision even surpassed them by far.
Not to mention that the bow in Wang Wei’s hand was much smaller than that of the tribe’s hunters, but this was specially made by Mammoth using black iron stainless steel. In the tribe, besides Wang Wei, only the clan patriarch and matriarch, along with mammoth could pull the string.
Therefore, in terms of archery, Wang Wei’s arrows were far beyond the tribe’s in accuracy and penetration. In the extreme distance’s targeting, Zu Ruo was way behind in the reach. For this reason, Zu Ruo was depressed, but how could he have known that Wang Wei was so good because of his spiritual power?
“Hush.” Mammoth issued a warning, and everyone immediately lay low and squatted on the spot.
Wang Wei listened attentively, and immediately noticed a movement, and looked to the side, but there was a small soil slope on the side which blocked his line of sight.
Guchi also looked to the side at the same time, but he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong. How could Wang Wei be sure that it was here when he hadn’t got Mammoth to indicate the direction of the prey? One must know that, based on the spiritual power of a great spiritual master, one also need to concentrate the efforts to feel the approximate location of the prey.
Was it a coincidence? He knew that this Wang Wei was not yet at the age of condensing spirit crystals. Even if the spirit crystals were condensed, it was impossible to reach their own level at the monent. Yes, must it be a coincidence? Guchi told himself secretly.
Then Mammoth made a gesture in the direction of the prey, and a group of tribesmen immediately surrounded the position, forming a huge fan-shaped encirclement net. Mammoth immediately made another gesture to stop everyone from moving forward.
“It’s a pack of wolves.” Mammoth said softly, leaning to Wang Wei’s side.
Guchi also retreated from the slope in front, and said, “Yes, there are a lot of them, probably forty or fifty. Most of them are first-level and second-level wolves, and there are also third and fourth-level wolves.”
Wang Wei thought for a while and couldn’t help saying: “Let everyone guard the encirclement, the little wolf cubs can be released, but don’t let go of the wolf demon above the first level. After cleaning up this group of wolf demon, we can go back.”
Afterwards, Wang Wei immediately sent someone to Zu Ruo and said to him: “Uncle Zu Ruo, you command each group of archers to prepare and wait for my signal. As soon as we do this, you immediately gather the tribe to shoot at the wolves.”
“Understood. Leave it to your brother.” Even though Zu Ruo had already married a wife last year, he still didn’t want to accept the reality of being an uncle, so he responded and quietly retreated.
“Uncle Mammoth, you are responsible for everyone’s safety, remind the people to try not to use the hand cannons. Lord Guchi, you and I will attack together, what do you think?”
Seeing Wang Wei’s firm gaze, although Guchi was puzzled, he didn’t understand how Wang Wei, who was only seven years old, had the courage to face the demons. But he nodded and replied, “Okay, Wang Wei be careful. I will be by your side to see to your safety.”
Guchi did not pay attention to these wolf demons below level four. With his cultivation base, only monsters above level five would pose a threat to him.
Wang Wei immediately raised his hand into the air, waved hard, took the lead and slowly approached the wolves. Turning around the soil slope, he saw a basin of mountains and forests in front of him. The basin was covered with wormwood half a person tall, and there were not many trees.
The entire pack of wolves appeared to be packed in the center of the valley, two to three hundred meters away. At this time, there were many wolves around and gnawing things together, and a smell of stench continued to drift over with the mountain breeze. fr(e)ewebnovel.com
The lower wolves in twos and threes, on the periphery of the wolf pack, were moving back and forth, seemingly on guard.
