Cultivation begins with planting techniques

On the small road in the mountains leading to the outside world.

Two strong men who looked like hunters were walking and talking and laughing, carrying longbows on their backs.

at this time.

Suddenly, a creature covered with grass and leaves, whose appearance was not clearly visible, walked out from the mountain in front of me.

He was startled immediately and almost thought that a monster had escaped from the mountains. He almost ran away.

Even if mortals have some martial arts skills, they are nothing in front of real monsters.

As hunters who live on the mountains, they naturally have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, and will not try to be heroes.

But before they could really take a step, one of them grabbed the other.

"Brother, wait a minute, it's a person!"

The eldest brother who was held back was still a little angry, thinking that his second brother might have gone crazy today.

After hearing what he said, I subconsciously turned around and took another look at the thing.

I was stunned immediately.

He was actually just a teenager!

"Such a handsome boy, how could he be so slovenly, wearing leaves and not even a piece of clothing... Could he be a young man who got lost in the mountains?"

The second brother muttered something, and the eldest brother simply stopped.

"Who is coming?!"

The eldest brother asked in a deep voice.

The two men had already taken out their bows and arrows from their backs and looked at the young man in the straw coat with great vigilance.

Even though he looked like a human, it was still strange for him to walk out of the mountains filled with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.

They were not completely sure.

"My two elder brothers, I went to the mountains with my family's guards for a walk, but we got separated. It was only by wearing this grass coat that I was able to trick the beasts and escape from the mountains..."

The young man walked forward, clasped his fists towards the two men from a distance, and spoke clearly.

"I wonder where it is now?"

Seeing the visitor talking, the two hunter brothers finally felt relieved.

The second brother replied, "This place is on the west side of Qingqing Mountain. If you follow this road down, you will reach the official road at the foot of the mountain."

"If you want to go back to the county town, just follow the official road north."

He gave a brief explanation of the surrounding situation, and the second brother continued to look at Li Ye.

I was particularly interested in his delicate skin, which was still a bit dirty, and I wondered what he was thinking.

He just quietly touched his elder brother, exchanged glances with him, and made a few ambiguous gestures.

The eldest brother opened his mouth and looked at Li Ye again, but he remained calm and did not respond.

However, the two of them seemed to have already confirmed during the conversation that the person coming was not a monster, so they put away their bows and arrows.

"Thank you, brothers!"

Li Ye responded politely, watching their secret communication but not caring much about it.

A small green bird seemed to fly across the air above his head, and then went in the direction pointed by his second brother.

Finally, he ran into a living person and asked about the surrounding situation, and Li Ye achieved his goal.

He didn't exchange any pleasantries with them. He just thanked them and walked past them to leave.

Just as he passed by the two men and had just passed one body length away, the voice of his second brother came again from behind.

"Little brother, this mountain road is rugged and the official road isn't always safe. Why don't you come home with me, change some clothes, and let my two brothers take you back home?"

His tone was quite kind, even a little flattering.

It seemed like he had good intentions, but more of a desire to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money. Hearing this, Li Ye sighed and paused, but he didn't turn to look at his second brother. Instead, he raised his hand to block the left side.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

The elder brother, who had only said one sentence since he met Li Ye, hit Li Ye's back of the head with his clenched fist, but was blocked by Li Ye's bare hands.

The second brother, who was just trying to divert attention, panicked when he saw this scene and immediately threw another punch.

They are hunters.

How could anyone believe the story of someone who managed to escape from the mountains by wearing a straw coat and avoiding wild beasts?

This kid must have some basic martial arts skills, otherwise how could a young man endure such a long journey!
But with the strength of the two of them, it shouldn't be a problem to capture this person!

The second brother was thinking in his heart, when suddenly a low roar came to his ears, followed by the sound of wind.

boom!
A mottled shadow suddenly jumped out from the mountains, rushed straight to the second brother's chest, kicked hard, and with a cracking sound, knocked him back like a cannonball.

On the other side, a soft humming sound seemed to be coming from the horizon.

whoosh-

The big brother who had the punch blocked screamed, one of his eyes shattered on the spot, and bright red blood gushed out, covering most of his face in an instant.

One of the brothers rolled on the ground with his eyes covered, while the other was stepped on the chest by the bobcat, with its sharp claws pressing directly on his neck.

But in the blink of an eye, he had no power to resist.

"I was just asking for directions, why did you suddenly attack me?"

Li Ye kicked his rolling elder brother over, made him face him, and asked expressionlessly.

People have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts.

Li Ye knew very well the reason why the child carried gold through a busy street.

Therefore, he didn't even offer anything of value in exchange for clean clothes and food, and even deliberately made his own appearance look a little dirty and disheveled.

Just ask the person on the roadside and leave immediately, without taking the initiative to touch their greed.

But they still chose to attack suddenly, which really made him feel helpless.

The eldest brother was still in great pain, trembling and unable to answer.

The second brother was pinned down by the mountain cat. Although his ribs were broken by a blow, he still had room to speak.

He reluctantly shifted his gaze from the nearby mountain cat to look at Li Ye, whose kingfisher was hanging obediently beside him, his eyes filled with fear.
"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"I was momentarily distracted. My elder brother, my elderly parents, and I are waiting for you at home. Please, Lord Mountain God, spare my life! When I return, I will definitely build a shrine for you and offer incense and offerings to you!"

"You have parents waiting for you. If I can't defeat you, then I deserve to be killed by you?"

Li Ye laughed sarcastically.

But he didn't waste any time, just picked up his elder brother with one hand and went to the woods nearby.

During the whole process, the eldest brother's screams gradually became smaller and smaller until they became silent, which made the second brother even more terrified.

After a moment, Li Ye walked back and said to his second brother with a smile: "Your eldest brother has explained everything to you. If what you said doesn't agree with him, don't blame me for being cruel..."

"you……"

The second brother was shaking like a sieve, as if he had seen a demon.

Even though they were hunters, this scene still revealed brutality. He didn't dare to have any extra thoughts and answered all of Li Ye's questions with tears streaming down his face.

"That makes sense..."

Li Ye walked out of the mountains, his clothes changed into ordinary linen clothes.

As for the two brothers... they have returned to nature and become one with the mountains.

Originally, as a fugitive, he had no intention of killing more people, but these two people wanted to kill him just by meeting him on the road, so it would be unnecessary to spare their lives.

The information gained from this twist and turn was much richer than the casual questioning just now. (End of this chapter)
