Chapter 293: The 6th Generation: Stone Turtle Carrying Mountain, Descendants of Bixi!
"The Stone Turtle Tribe, huh?"
Lu Yuan silently committed Feng Huai'an's words to memory.
If he did encounter any unwise creatures during this hunting trip, he wouldn't mind collecting some interest first.
"Xiaoyuan, it's your first time hunting in the mountains, you must be extra careful..."
Feng Huai'an explained in detail to Lu Yuan the dangers he might encounter in the deep mountains and the areas that are forbidden to enter due to their perilous nature.
The Great Wilderness is populated with poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, sometimes even shrouded in toxic mists.
Feng Huai'an also instructed Lu Yuan on which herbs to gather to heal wounds and detoxify if he accidentally got injured or bitten by poisonous insects.
Once Lu Yuan memorized everything.
Feng Huai'an then took out a hunting knife and a horned heavy bow to give to Lu Yuan.
This hunting knife was wide, thick, and sharp, meticulously forged and suitable for slashing, cutting, or close combat, clearly a fine piece.
As for the horned heavy bow, it was crafted from the horns and tendons of the Exotic Beast Barbarian Ox.
The bow's surface was etched with intricate patterns, emanating an awe-inspiring and terrifying pressure.
"This bow is an exotic treasure made by an ancestor who once hunted a powerful exotic beast."
"Simply drawing the bowstring, one can use spiritual power to visualize an arrow that can damage not only the enemy's flesh but also harm their soul!"
"Therefore, only Qi Refiners at the Visualization Realm can use this bow!"
Feng Huai'an handed this great bow to Lu Yuan.
"Xiaoyuan, you can try out its power first."
Lu Yuan, without hesitation, took the horned heavy bow.
He then aimed at a hill a mile away and slowly drew the heavy bow.
As he began visualizing the arrow, a metallic and iron qi gathered on the bowstring, forming an extremely sharp long arrow.
The arrow was entirely condensed from pure spiritual power and metal and iron qi, exuding a fierce killing intent.
Its arrowhead was sharp enough to pierce through gold and stone!
In the next moment.
The bowstring thundered like a sudden clap.
With a 'whoosh,' the long arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning.
The arrow was loosed in an instant!
Having entered the Visualization Realm, Lu Yuan's senses were far sharper than those of ordinary people.
Even a tiny ant several miles away was visible to him.
In Lu Yuan's sight.
That hill a mile away was pierced and shattered almost instantly by the arrow!
"It seems my power isn't focused enough; otherwise, the arrow would have simply passed through the hill."
But Lu Yuan didn't feel pleased and instead frowned.
Immediately after.
He continued to draw the bowstring, constantly improving his archery techniques and skills.
He stopped only when he felt a slight weariness in his spirit.
Feng Huai'an, standing nearby, looked at Lu Yuan with an extremely strange gaze, as if looking at a monster.
You must know, though this heavy bow was indeed powerful, each time an arrow was visualized, it consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power.
Even with his cultivation, Feng Huai'an could barely shoot ten arrows.
Yet, Lu Yuan had just shot over a dozen arrows without his spiritual power being exhausted and seemed to have spare strength left.
He understood that Lu Yuan had reached the Peak of Qi Refining and could not be judged by common wisdom.
But this amount of spiritual power was simply terrifying!
After realizing Lu Yuan's true combat strength, Feng Huai'an was finally completely reassured.
But before Lu Yuan set off.
Feng Huai'an, with a slight thought, took out a bone ring from thin air and solemnly handed it to Lu Yuan.
"Xiaoyuan, bringing so many things while hunting in the mountains is inconvenient."
"This bone ring was also left by our ancestors; it contains a space of its own where you can store various items."
"Thank you, Clan Leader Grandpa."
Lu Yuan accepted the bone ring without hesitation.
Although his Simulation Mark could also store a large number of items.
Having this bone ring to cover for it would prevent suspicion from other Qi Refiners.
...
The Lianyun Mountain Range.
A young man in a beast robe, with a hunting knife at his waist and a heavy bow on his back, swiftly traversed the jungle.
Though the Great Wilderness was barren, the forests were teeming with birds and beasts, and occasionally one could see a mother rabbit leading a group of young rabbits searching for food in the grass.
Lu Yuan only glanced at them before quietly bypassing the group of wild rabbits, continuing into the deep mountains.
People of the Great Wilderness relied on hunting to survive but believed in sparing the newly born, strictly forbidding the shooting of young or pregnant beasts.
This was not only an ancient philosophy passed down by ancestors but also a survival law of the Great Wilderness.
Since only through moderation and restraint could sufficient resources be left for future generations.
Lu Yuan moved swiftly, even navigating the rugged and treacherous forests as if walking on flat ground.
In no time.
He entered the deep mountain region.
This area was deep and dense, with towering ancient trees.
Compared to the outer regions that often had birds and insect noises, it was eerily quiet here.
Just standing at the edge, one could feel an eerie sense of danger!
The deep mountains were filled with fierce beasts and exotic birds, and these exotic beasts already possessed initial spiritual intelligence, with power significantly more formidable than ordinary beasts, ten times harder to deal with.
If a regular hunter stepped into this area, even in large numbers, they would be annihilated.
But Lu Yuan had no such concern.
Though there were numerous exotic beasts in the deep mountains, most were merely at the Qi Refining Realm, posing little threat to him.
As Lu Yuan ventured deeper into the mountains, his brow gradually furrowed.
This hundred-mile radius was the hunting ground of the Great Wind Tribe.
Logically, there should be no shortage of exotic beasts.
But after wandering for half the day, he hadn't seen a single exotic beast, not even a beast's cub!
"Something isn't right, the deep mountains shouldn't be this quiet."
Lu Yuan scanned his surroundings, clearly seeing everything within half a mile, finally spotting a blood-stained white fur among the grass.
