Chapter 78 Hunting
Under the leadership of Liu Chunlai, Jiang Yao and his companions wandered around the nearby mountains for two or three hours.

As expected, several people came back empty-handed, without catching a single hair.

After all, Liu Chunlai was just wandering around and had never gone deep into the mountains.

If there were any prey in the nearby mountains, they would have been hunted down by the villagers living nearby long ago. How could it be Jiang Yao and his friends' turn?

Of course, if you are lucky, you can still get some gains, but the probability is extremely low.

"Uncle Yao, what should we do? Are we just going to go back to the county empty-handed?"

"I came here early in the morning and rode my motorcycle for nearly two hours to get here. I feel a little unwilling to go back like this!"

"It's just past two o'clock now, and there are still several hours before dark. Why don't we go for a walk in the mountains by ourselves?"

"Well, that's also possible. We can find a random house nearby, tell the owner, park the motorcycle in front of his door, and then we can go up the mountain by ourselves and get deeper."

……

After declining Liu Chunlai's invitation to stay, Jiang Yao and his companions rode their motorcycles for some distance, stopped the vehicles, and discussed for a while. Soon, they reached a consensus and made a decision.

Riding on motorcycles, the few people continued forward. After finding a place to park the vehicle, they carried their weapons and walked up the mountain.

Liu Chunlai had already taken them for a walk around this area before, and this area on the edge of the forest had been worn out because people often visited.

Jiang Yao and his friends ran into the mountains, and they just had to keep moving forward along the mountain roads.

Without Liu Chunlai watching by his side, Jiang Yao's abilities could be fully utilized.

More than an hour later, although they did not catch any larger prey, they had already shot more than 30 small, ordinary birds.

"Jiang Yao, there is no road ahead. Should we continue to move forward?"

The jungle became increasingly dense, and the cliffs became increasingly steeper. As they walked, they had already left the area where Liu Chunlai had led them, and began to really go deeper into the mountains.

They stopped for a few steps, took out their cigarettes and lit them up. Looking at the forest ahead, Tong Gang opened his mouth tentatively and asked.

"What are you afraid of? There are no snakes in this season. Uncle Yao is here and he can handle ordinary prey in minutes."

"It's a rare trip to the mountains, and I just shoot a few birds and bring them back. How can I be willing to do that?"

"It's easier to encounter prey in the deep mountains where no one has ever been. It doesn't matter if there's no road, just leave marks along the way."

"Even if we can't kill a wild boar, we should at least get a few rabbits. It's only a little after three o'clock now. At worst, we can go back later."

……

Holding a machete, the soldier cut the vines in front of him while speaking with a smile.

"We only shot a few birds, so the prey is indeed a little less. Let's follow the soldier's advice and continue walking deeper into the mountains!" Jiang Yao nodded and echoed.

The little he had gained so far was not as much as what he and Bingzai had gained from wandering around the county town. He was really not satisfied.

After all, he prepared a lot of things when he came into the mountains this time, and he also specially called Tong Gang.

His purpose in making such a big fuss was never just to shoot some ordinary birds.

"Okay, Jiang Yao, since you said so, let's continue walking deep into the mountains."

"But let's make it clear first, let's not do it too late."

"Spending the night in the mountains is something that not everyone can endure. What if we run into ..."

Tong Gang used to be fearless, but after experiencing the Huang Cuicui incident, he seemed to have developed some awe for certain beings. Before he could finish his words, Bingzi interrupted him: "You crow-mouthed man, stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Those things do exist, but how can they be encountered so easily?"

While speaking, he glared at Tong Gang fiercely.

"Don't worry, we won't stay overnight in the mountains. At most, we'll go back as soon as it gets dark."

Jiang Yao laughed and added, "Those kinds of things usually only appear near water veins or places with heavy yin energy. Except for the ten days in July, it is difficult to encounter them on weekdays."

"In this forest, the possibility of encountering a monster is much higher than the probability of encountering that kind of thing."

The soldier who had taken the lead and cut open the vines blocking the way had already walked more than ten meters away. When he heard Jiang Yao's words, he paused and said, "Uncle Yao, don't scare me. Are there really monsters in this world?"

"I haven't seen a demon, so how can I know if it exists or not!" Jiang Yao shrugged and explained with a smile, "I did hear Carpenter Xu talk about this before when I was drinking with him."

"According to him, ordinary monsters can only deceive people when their spirits leave their bodies. As for their true bodies, they are just like that. With weapons in hand, ordinary people can kill them."

"In legends, isn't there often a story about a fox demon being caught by a hunter, then being rescued by a scholar, and then the demon's soul transforming into a beautiful woman to repay the favor?"

"Think about it, if the monster is really that powerful, can the hunter catch its true form?"

After hearing what Jiang Yao said, Bingzai and Tong Gang looked much better.

With weapons in hand, the men continued to move forward.

In just less than half an hour, Jiang Yao paused and suddenly stopped. With a hint of joy on his face, he stared at a bush not far away.

"Sense, upper body..." A gray rabbit weighing several kilograms crawled out from the bushes and flew towards where Jiang Yao and his companions were.

The soldier was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He raised his knife and chopped the rabbit to the ground with one stroke.

To enter a dream one needs to see the target with one's eyes, but there is no such restriction when a ghost possesses one.

Jiang Yao also noticed that there seemed to be some movement under the bushes, so he used his mind to sense it. After sensing the rabbit, he directly climbed onto its body and controlled it to rush over.

After his mental strength was greatly enhanced, he now found it much easier to perform the spell of possession. More importantly, when he performed the spell, he could move freely and was no longer confined to the same spot as before.

"This rabbit must be at least four or five pounds, awesome!"

"I told you, if you want to hunt prey, you have to go deep into the mountains where there are few people."

"Uncle Yao, is my knife beautiful?" The soldier looked excited, holding the rabbit's ears and picking up the hare.

He kept laughing and showed off to Jiang Yaotong and the other man.

"You've read too many stories about waiting for a rabbit to come to you. Do you really think this rabbit will be so stupid as to jump right onto your knife?"

Jiang Yao glared at Bingzai and added, "If I hadn't gotten the rabbit out, it would have been difficult for you to catch it even if you knew it was hiding under that bush."

"No wonder it hid so well, but suddenly jumped in front of me. It turned out that it was you, Uncle Yao, who did it!" Scratching the back of his head, the soldier laughed dryly twice: "Anyway, I killed this hare after all."

"If I hadn't been so quick, it would have run away."

"Uncle Yao, you deserve the most credit for catching this thing, but I also deserve credit for my part!"
