Chapter 3 Hunting
"Don't be ignorant, you cunning woman. The magistrate is merciful and specially ordered me to send you a reward. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The leading officer looked at the woman at his feet impatiently.

Aunt Wang burst into tears and choked with sobs as she said, "You give me back my husband. Without him, how can we, the three of us, live?"

Ye Changan only remembered that Uncle Wang was captured and sent to the north to serve as a corvee half a year ago. He heard that he was transporting grain, but he did not expect that he would end up dying in a foreign country.

There are no men in the family, and Aunt Wang alone cannot support her.

He understood this kind of experience very well, because the Ye family was also like this, and Ye's mother was so tired that she died of illness in bed.

"Only if you are strong enough can you survive in this troubled world."

Ye Changan knew the ending without reading. In today's world, a human life is only worth ten taels of silver.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter stopped him and asked with concern: "This is Chang'an. Have you recovered from your illness?"

Ye Changan remembered that this man was a good hunter in the town, and they called him Orion Zheng. He used to hunt with Ye's father often, and he often came to visit the Ye family after Ye's father left.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm almost feeling better."

Zheng Orion looked at Ye Changan kindly and said with emotion: "I didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye. Will I turn sixteen this year?"

"Ah."

"Chang'an, you have to make plans early. At the age of 16, you will be arrested by the government."

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for reminding me."

Ye Changan's head sank. He knew the horror of corvee work. More than a thousand people died at the foot of the city wall every year?

Daxuan's exorbitant levies, heavy taxes, and cruel corvee made it difficult for the people at the bottom to survive.

It is said that someone in the north has already revolted in the name of "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian is in power", and the leader is a strong man at the level of a martial arts grand master.

This is what I learned from the refugees.

Ten miles east of Changhe Town is Erdaogou, with deep forests and dense grass. Most hunters like to come here.

The mountains are covered with snow, and the snow squeaks when you step on it.

Although Ye Changan has memories of his previous life, he only felt the power of nature when he went deep into the mountains.

With his terrifying sense of perception, he easily avoided those deep pits covered with snow, which was something that even the old hunters were afraid of.

Perhaps it was because of the snowy weather that I searched for a long time in the mountains, but didn't even see a hare.

However, it was not without gain. Ye Changan was surprised to find that his magical power [Perception] could not only explore the environment, but also see the value of the spirit of the thick soil contained in the plants.

I saw a string of numbers "0.001" floating above the pine cones of the pine tree.

This is the spirit of the thick earth contained in this pine cone.

Ye Changan skillfully climbed up the pine tree and took down the pine cones.

In fact, neither his predecessor nor he could climb trees. This skill existed in his muscle memory as if it was innate since he became a mountain spirit.

A bowl of stick noodle porridge only contains a little bit of earth, which shows that the nutritional value of these pine cones is quite high.

In addition, Ye Changan's backpack was also filled with various unknown mushrooms.

Relying on his magical [perception] ability, he can easily identify whether mushrooms are poisonous or not.

Just like this bright red mushroom covered by snow at your feet, its value is "-1".

He gradually grasped the rules. If the value is negative, it proves that the thing is poisonous.

Unconsciously, he had entered the depths of Erdaogou.

This place is full of thorns and ferocious beasts, and even experienced and skilled hunters are reluctant to set foot there.

Ye Changan didn't intend to go deep, he just wanted to try his luck in the surrounding area.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a string of numbers "5" floating behind a big tree where two people were hugging each other.

Along the way, he didn't even see anything with a value higher than "1", and now there was a treasure with a value of "5".

"I'm getting rich, is it Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng?" Ye Changan cautiously approached to a position of 50 meters, and then saw from God's perspective a gray-haired, lame old wolf lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

He walked around the big tree and came to the old wolf, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Due to the heavy snowfall, Erdaogou was literally a place where thousands of birds flew away and thousands of people disappeared.

Only now did he discover that animals can see numerical values.

Ye Changan's eyes gradually showed excitement, and he was worried about not being able to find a test subject for his [Animal Controlling] magical power.

Unexpectedly, I encountered an excellent target here.

"Beast control!"

With a low drink, his palm suddenly emitted a faint green light.

Ye Changan squatted down and tried to touch the old wolf's eyebrows.

At this moment, the already unconscious old wolf suddenly opened his eyes, but was unable to move due to his heavy injuries, and his eyes showed a humane and sad look.

"It's a bit interesting that he is actually a wolf that understands human nature."

The light in Ye Changan's hand shot straight into the old wolf's body the moment it touched the fur.

The old wolf's body began to twitch incessantly, with a look of pain on his face.

After a cup of tea, the light was completely integrated into the old wolf's bloodline.

What surprised Ye Changan was that the old wolf, who was originally seriously injured, recovered as before, exuding a ferocious aura and overwhelming momentum.

The memories that originally belonged to the old wolf also appeared in his mind.

"It's actually the Wolf King?!"

Ye Changan did not expect that the old wolf he met accidentally was the wolf king of the Erdaogou wolf pack, or to be precise, the former wolf king.

As he grew older, his claws were no longer as sharp as before, and he was defeated by a rising star in the wolf pack and expelled from the wolf pack.

"Don't worry, if you follow me, you will definitely return to glory."

Ye Changan looked at Lao Lang seriously. Now that he and Lao Lang had a heart-to-heart connection, he was sure that Lao Lang could understand.

"Woo! (Ha, humans!)"

The old wolf looked sideways at Ye Changan, his face full of contempt.

"Ahem, I am your master after all, please respect me."

Due to the spiritual energy injected into him by Ye Changan, the old wolf's intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary beasts.

It also understood that if Ye Changan didn't help today, it would definitely be frozen to death by the cold wind and snow.

"Ouch (Master)."

Seeing the old wolf being so wise, Ye Changan nodded with satisfaction.

He touched his chin. The old wolf was not only recovering from his injuries, but his power was even greater than when he was at his peak. An idea was brewing in his mind.

"Old Wolf, the first task I give you is to become the Wolf King again."

"Ouch (necessary)."

Although there is only one spot in his animal pen, if the old wolf becomes the wolf king, he will be equivalent to owning hundreds of wild wolves. How majestic will he be then?
Ye Changan played with the old wolf for a while again, although most of the time he was lulling the wolf unilaterally.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Ye Changan reluctantly walked down the mountain.

Just when he was about to reach the mountainside, a man as strong as an iron tower appeared in the forest.

The loud voice made the snowflakes on the trees fall, and he bared his white teeth.

"It turns out to be Chang'an!"
