Chapter 4
"Brother Erhu, are you still here hunting at this late hour?"

Ye Changan waved enthusiastically, but sneered in his heart.

This sturdy hunter's name is Zhao Erhu, who is also from Changhe Town. His hunting skills are quite good, but his mind is not right.

The mountainside was an open pine forest, and the 50-meter sensing range did not cover the sight, so Ye Changan did not sense it in advance.

"Chang'an, how's the harvest today? Why is the baggage so big?"

Zhao Erhu stepped forward, patted Ye Changan's shoulder generously, and then slid his palm onto the baggage behind him. The movements were extremely smooth. It was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing.

Ye Changan didn't stop him either.

pat!

Bright mushrooms fell on the snow, looking even more magical against the white snow.

Old hunters all know that you cannot eat mushrooms in autumn. Even starving to death is better than poisoning. There are many kinds of mushrooms, but there are very few edible ones. Even the mountain people are not sure that something will happen if they eat them.

"Chang'an, why did you pick so many mushrooms?"

Zhao Erhu looked at the game on the snow in surprise.

Ye Changan lowered his body to pick up the fallen mushrooms and said with a wry smile: "I really have nothing to eat, so I can only use this to satisfy my hunger."

Zhao Erhu gave Ye Changan a thumbs up: "Courage!"

Seeing that there was nothing to gain from the other party, Zhao Erhu gradually lost interest, and he immediately said: "Chang'an, I want to do something big with my brother. I heard that there are wild boars at Laoye Ridge at night. Let's try our luck?"

Ye Changan resisted and said, "Forget it, I'm timid."

Zhao Erhu had a displeased look on his face, and looked at Ye Changan's slightly thin body. He thought of how he almost fell to death when he entered the mountain alone a few days ago, so he gave up.

"That's all, you will be envious when I carry the wild boar back to the village."

Zhao Erhu walked towards the mountains without looking back.

Seeing the other party leaving, Ye Changan sneered.

Hunting in a group?

I'm afraid it was just to provide some support.

In the past, hunters who hunted with Zhao Erhu often disappeared, although it was normal for a person to disappear in the deep mountains.

But more than ten people went missing when they went into the mountain with Zhao Erhu, which was very unusual.

The hunters in Changhe Town all speculated that they were cheated by Zhao Erhu, or that they were pushed out to fend off wild beasts.

The family members of the missing persons also went to the county government several times to make trouble, but in the end nothing happened.

In the eyes of those officials, the lives of untouchables are as low as ants.

Ye Changan finally returned to Changhe Town before night fell.

The ability of the magical [beast control] was far beyond his imagination. At such a long distance, he could still communicate with the old wolf, and he could even vaguely see the scene in front of the old wolf.

At this time, there were four or five thick and fierce-looking gray wolves in front of the old wolf. They seemed to be talking about something.

Ye Changan is looking forward to the moment when the old wolf returns to the throne of Wolf King.

He opened the door, and the warmth in the room made him moan uncontrollably. After spending a day in the snowy mountains, his toes were almost frozen.

"Brother Chang'an, you are finally back."

Ye Rouer stood up from the bench with a worried look and threw herself into Ye Changan's arms.

Ye Changan's eyes became gentle. He had no affection for this sister. It felt good to have someone caring about him when he returned home.

He took off his coat that was wet with snow water and changed into clean clothes. The sticky dampness was swept away.

Ye Rou'er looked at his results today and her mouth opened in shock: "Brother Chang'an, is this what you gained today?"

She was of the same mind as the others and decided not to eat mushrooms.

Ye Changan replied affirmatively: "Don't worry, I've tried it and it's not poisonous."

With his repeated assurances, Ye Rouer dubiously washed the mushrooms and cooked them together with the stick noodle porridge on the stove.

In order to prevent the mushrooms from being poisonous, she cooked them for a while longer.

Half an hour later, a pot of hot thick porridge was brought to the table.

Ye Rou'er still looked worried: "Brother Chang'an, is this really okay?"

Ye Changan didn't say much, picked up a bowl of mushroom porridge and started drinking it.

The umami flavor of the mushrooms stimulates the sweetness of the cornmeal very well. A pot of porridge is simply more delicious than meat. Mixed with crispy and fragrant mushrooms, it is even more delicious.Seeing that Ye Changan was fine, Ye Rouer could no longer resist the temptation of the fragrance and picked up the bowl to drink.

After finishing the meal, the brother and sister were still unsatisfied. They had not had such a delicious meal for a long time since their father died.

"Brother, you are amazing."

"We will have more delicious food in the future."

"Ah."

Ye Rouer went to the back room to clean up the dishes, while Ye Changan sat on the bed alone.

He looked at the panel.

[Host: Ye Changan]

【Boundary: None】

[Sending Spirit: Mountain Spirit]

[Supernatural power: Level [-] Beast Control+, Level [-] Perception+]

[Fitness: 0/100+]

[Spirit of Thick Earth: 2.601]

Just as he expected, the number of Thick Earth Spirit points gained from this meal was extremely considerable.

Ye Changan doesn't have such a bad habit of saving points.

"Give me some more!"

He assigned these two points to perception and fit.

[Host: Ye Changan]

【Boundary: None】

[Sending Spirit: Mountain Spirit]

[Supernatural power: Level [-] Beast Control+, Level [-] Perception+]

[Fitness: 1/100+]

[Spirit of Thick Earth: 0.601]

A mysterious and mysterious aura filled the blood of his body, the vitality of every cell was stimulated, and the originally dry muscles under the skin gradually swelled.

Ye Changan was surprised to feel the changes in his body. He didn't expect that the changes would be so obvious after just adding a little bit of fit.

Although his current physical fitness is not as strong as those of Zhao Erhu, he is still much stronger than ordinary men.

After [Perception] is upgraded to Level 50, the viewing range is also expanded from 70 meters to [-] meters.

Even though it is only expanded by 20 meters, it can save lives at critical times.

The main reason why he gave up upgrading the beast control was that he was unlikely to have the good luck of meeting the old wolf in a short period of time, and there would not be much improvement in strength if he added it.

The number of animal pens was limited, and it was meaningless to control some ordinary wild dogs. He was not yet sure whether they had the function of releasing them.

"I heard that a large number of refugees from the north have arrived at Shannan Road."

Shannan Road is just north of Jiannan Road. Tens of thousands of refugees are passing through like locusts. Once they reach Chang'an Town, there will inevitably be unrest.

This has been the case since ancient times, without exception.

A sense of urgency pressed on Ye Changan's head. He needed to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he could have enough means to save his life before the turmoil came.

"There are also corvees."

It is said that poor and humble couples suffer from everything, and the people at the bottom have tried their best just to survive.

Seven days passed.

The image of the old wolf appeared in Ye Changan's mind, and he saw that there were already five or six wolf brothers behind him.

Although he is lame, he walks with extraordinary domineering strength.

The old wolf is worthy of being the former wolf king. He just howled a few times to win over these followers, and the position of wolf king is just around the corner.

"I really found a treasure."
