At noon, Su Yu’er returned home and saw her brother packing his luggage.
“Brother!” she shouted, “Are you going to leave Xiao Yu’er behind and run away?”
Su Han was speechless and said, “Why would I run away? It seems that the army will be stationed here for a period of time. With them around, your safety and the safety of the villagers will be guaranteed. That’s why I want to go into the mountains.”
Su Yu’er said angrily, “Have you decided?”
Su Han nodded and pinched her face with a smile. “Don’t worry. I followed my father to the mountains to hunt when I was seven years old. I’m familiar with the situation in the mountains! When I come back, we will move to the small town!”
Su Yu’er said, “Father also said when he left that year: When I come back, I will bring you to the town!”
Su Han gave her a blow to the head and said, “Are you cursing your brother on purpose?”
Su Yu’er said, “You actually flicked my head! Su Han, you’ve changed!”
Su Han helplessly picked up his luggage and waved his hand, saying, “There’s no need to leave any food for me tonight. I’m leaving.”
“Wait a minute!” Su Yu’er ran up and took out a dagger from Su Han’s waist, cutting open her little finger.
Su Han turned pale with fright and said, “Su Yu’er! You actually want to use self-mutilation to make me stay! You’re too much!”
Su Yu’er did not speak. She tore open the front of his shirt and used her fingers to draw on it.
Su Han laughed and cried, “What are you doing? It’s so itchy!”
Su Yu’er pulled his shirt tight and glared at him, saying, “Brother, you should go. If you go to places you shouldn’t go, you have to think of your sister and her well-being.”
“Also, you have to be careful…”
…
At noon, Su Han crossed the stream and entered the mountains.
The village was surrounded by mountains. As he walked deeper into the mountains, the wild beasts inside would become more and more terrifying.
Usually, the hunting tigers in the village mostly hunted at the outskirts of the forest.
Once, his father was the best hunter in the village. Only he dared to go deep into the mountains and hunt for more dangerous prey. But it was precisely because of this that he lost his life that night.
Su Han used to follow his father up the mountains to hunt, so he was very familiar with the situation in the mountains.
He also knew where the wild wolves roamed and where the territories of fierce beasts were absolutely forbidden to enter.
It was very rare to see magical beasts on the outskirts of the mountains. If one wanted to hunt magical beasts, one had to go deeper.
If one was hungry, he would eat something. In the afternoon, he finally went deep into the mountains.
“A Xiphodon!?”
After advancing for a long time, Su Han saw a magical beast the size of two gray wolves wandering in the forest from afar.
The Xiphodon was a tier-1 magical beast. It was also a rare omnivorous beast. It was not very docile, but it was the kind of beast that would not attack humans if they did not provoke it.
They usually slept in the cave and would only come out at night to look for food.
‘This saber-toothed beast actually appeared during the day.’ Su Han stroked his chin and thought, ‘If there are no special circumstances, this kind of magical beast basically won’t change its schedule.’
The saber-toothed beast kept sniffing in the forest, as if it was looking for something.
‘Is it looking for food? Or something has attracted its attention?’
Su Han quietly followed a few dozen meters away from it, wanting to see what it was looking for.
After following it for half an hour, the Xiphodon suddenly stopped and used its sharp claws to dig under a rock.
As he got closer, Su Han immediately smelled a strange fragrance in the air. He couldn’t help but be surprised, because he had smelled this fragrance before.
‘Is it a Strange Fruit? Could there be a ripe Strange Fruit here?’
Strange Fruit was an extremely rare medicinal material. They usually grew underground. After ripening, the flowers and leaves on the ground would emit waves of strange fragrance.
“Looks like the ripe Strange Fruit has attracted this Xiphodon.”
Su Han slowly approached it.
At this moment, Su Han suddenly saw a long green snake hanging down from the crown of the tree above the Xiphodon.
Su Han was shocked and quickly hid.
‘Why is there a Green Snake here!?’
The Green Snake was a tier-2 magic beast. It was also a terrifying poison that his father had repeatedly warned him not to get close to.
This kind of snake was good at camouflage and its poison was corrosive. The green snake that had condensed a magic nucleus was also able to cast wood magic. It was very terrifying.
Because of the uniqueness of magic beasts, magic beasts of the same tier were superior to humans. Therefore, generally speaking, a tier-2 Green Snake was basically equivalent to a human tier-3 warrior.
Rip!
The Green Snake bit the Xiphodon’s neck, and the Xiphodon let out a whine.
The Xiphodon’s skin was thick, and its defense was astonishing. Although the Green Snake was powerful, its sharp teeth could only bite into it half.
Su Han watched the battle from afar. The two magical beasts had been fighting for more than ten minutes.
Suddenly, the green snake let go of its big mouth. Its eyes flashed with green light, and vines suddenly grew on the ground, entangling the Xiphodon tightly.
“Tier-1 Wood-Type Spell, ‘Vine Binding’.”
Su Han’s eyes widened.
