Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Wild Beast Attacks
On December 8, Hua Kai couldn't help but smile when he got up early in the morning. Last night, his [Sky-Splitting Spear] finally broke through to the Great Perfection with the [Great Dream Visualization Method]. He opened his attribute panel:
Hua Kai: Level 5 of the Body Tempering Realm
Qualification: D-
Constitution: 15
Strength: 16
Will: 20
Mental Method: Meditation Technique (Yellow-level Intermediate Mental Method) Great Perfection
Spear Method: Sky-Splitting Spear (Yellow-level Advanced Spear Method) Great Perfection
Special Mental Method: Great Dream Visualization Method (God-level) Entry
Special Skill: Eye of Truth (Cannot be upgraded)
All three attributes have been improved a little. In more than a month, he has risen from the ninth level of Qi Condensation to the fifth level of Body Tempering. Even when his fifth uncle was young, he was not as evil as himself. At the age of 12, both mental methods and martial arts have been perfected. Even if it is only the Yellow Level, it is not so easy.
Hua Kai came to the martial arts training ground to spar with his fourth uncle. The villagers on the side cheered Hua Kai on. Everyone was happy to see that Huajiabao had such a master. He not only managed the entire family in an orderly manner, but also had such a strong talent for martial arts.
Hua Kai heard the system prompt that two points of luck value had arrived. He now had some experience in the growth of luck value.
The sources of luck value are mainly five parts.
The first part is the improvement of family cohesion. This is the easiest way to get luck value. Hua Kai distributed training meals to the whole village in the afternoon, distributed supplies to geniuses when visiting them, and then the strong performance in the martial arts training ground can gain luck value.
The second part is the improvement of the strength of family members. In the past few days, Hua Kai has received a few reminders of luck value rewards. Although not much, there are many people who have broken through.
The third part is the increase in the loyalty value of the member list on the crystal column in the [Family Secret Space]. Hua Kai found that as long as the loyalty value of family members exceeds 90 points. He will inexplicably often give the family luck value rewards.
The fourth part is the battle reward. Hua Kai encountered it once on the way back to the village last time. However, this is a rare opportunity. When the family's strength is strengthened, perhaps eliminating the bandits will be a good source of luck.
The fifth is the relationship with the family's external environment. Last time, it was because the family crisis was resolved and the relationship with the county magistrate Han's family was established that Huajiabao was saved from danger.
After fighting with his fourth uncle for more than an hour, Hua Kai finally gave up because he was exhausted. Hua Xing saw that his grandson's spearmanship had reached the peak. He suppressed his excitement and explained to him how to use the peak [Sky Spear] and the necessary conditions for reaching perfection.
Family martial arts are the foundation of a person's martial arts. Without martial arts, it is difficult to exert strength no matter how high the realm is. The reason why a family is strong is that it relies on the experience passed down from generation to generation. When Hua Kai heard this, he thought about many puzzled places in his dream last night. Although he only has the 5th level of the Tempering Realm, he has 20 points of will and the peak [Sky Spear], which allows him to fight against the late stage of the Tempering Realm.
Hua Kai was meditating to recover his true energy, when he suddenly felt snowflakes falling from the sky. It was snowing!
It was even harder for wild beasts to find food when it snowed. Every year after it snowed, the village would be attacked by wild beasts. Hua Kai ordered his fourth uncle to increase the guards on the city wall. From today on, the guards were divided into three groups, led by his fourth uncle, Hua Yue, and Wei Baotou, who took turns guarding the city wall. The entire Huajiabao was also in a 24-hour combat readiness state.
It snowed heavily in the next two days, and a thick layer of ice formed on the city wall.
Captain Hua Yue told Hua Kai that there were more and more wild beasts outside the village. If the wild beasts had no food, they would definitely attack towns and villages. However, there were only about a hundred wild beasts outside Huajiabao. If the wild beasts were not hungry to a certain extent, they would not attack the village if the number was insufficient.
"We can't just watch the wild beasts gather more and more. If the snow doesn't stop, the wild beasts will keep gathering. Now is the best time to drive them all away before the wild beasts appear outside." Hua Yue, as the captain of the Huajiabao village protection team, has the most experience in dealing with wild beasts attacking the village. He saw that nearly a hundred wild beasts had gathered outside the village, so he reported to Hua Kai.
Hua Kai agreed with the other party's suggestion. He stopped all the salt factories and cancelled all the training in the village. He organized all the combat forces of more than a hundred people in the village who were above the 6th level of body tempering to gather at the entrance of the village at noon.
Fourth Uncle, Hua Yue, and Wei Baotou stood at the front of the team. When the gate of Huajiabao slowly opened, the elite team of Huajiabao with more than a hundred people left the village.
The snow outside the village was more than 6 inches high. The people of Huajiabao quickly lined up after leaving the village. When the wild beasts saw someone coming out of the village, they stood up and looked at this place vigilantly.
Hua Zihuan, as the spearhead of the team, commanded the team to slowly approach the wild beasts. A wild beast that looked like a red fox saw him walking away from a distance, but a steel-backed pig that was more than one meter tall and more than three meters long was not convinced. It was breathing heavily and its front hooves kept digging the snow. It seemed that it was going to attack the guards.
Not all wild beasts have high intelligence. At this time, many wild beasts were already very hungry. They instinctively wanted to attack the guards. Most wild beasts are carnivorous, and the guards are a rare delicacy for them.
"... Stop, defensive formation!" Hua Zihuan saw that the steel-backed pig was panting and about to attack, so he quickly commanded everyone to stabilize the formation. Several people in the Tempering Body Realm came out of the middle of the team. They quickly came to the outside of the circle and aimed the tips of their long spears at the wild beasts, but the tails of the spears were placed down on the ground. There were people in the Kaiyuan Realm who stepped on the spear shaft with their feet. This was the way spearmen dealt with cavalry sprints. Judging from the tonnage of the steel-backed pig, it had the strength of a high-level wild beast. They had to come up with a way to deal with a strong enemy.
The village protection team formed a formation, but the wild beasts were far away but did not come. Many wild beasts with high intelligence originally planned to escape, but when they saw the village protection team stopped, they watched from a distance.
"Move forward..." Hua Zihuan kept the formation and slowly approached the wild beasts, each time only a small step, but when they were only 50 meters away from the wild beasts, the village protection team stopped.
"This pig is so smart. I provoked it so much that it didn't come up. It seems that I need to lead them over." Hua Zihuan greeted the pigs with snowballs in the distance, but the other party seemed to know that the village protection team was not easy to deal with, so it didn't dare to come over.
"Fourth Master, I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
...
"Don't say anything! These wild beasts are nothing to me. Let me show you."
At this time, it would be dangerous for the team to actively approach, and someone must go to lead the wild beasts over. This is not a simple task. So many wild beasts may be surrounded if they are not careful, and it will be difficult to escape.
Hua Kai and other people in the village were on the city gate tower, looking outside the village. They saw that after Fourth Uncle left the team, he went directly to the herd of wild beasts.
Perhaps the wild beasts felt that they were in large numbers, or perhaps Hua Zihuan was not a threat alone. They waited until Hua Zihuan approached within 20 meters, and then the wild beasts finally stood up.
Hua Zihuan looked at the wild beasts and saw that they still had no intention of chasing him, so he rolled a snowball in the snow and threw it at the herd of wild beasts. This time the herd of wild beasts finally reacted.
"Hah...Hah..."
"Roar..."
All the wild beasts actually ran towards Hua Zihuan together. Hua Kai on the gate tower suddenly felt depressed. The entire Huajiabao wall was shouting "Fourth Master, run!"
Hua Zihuan saw that the wild beasts were chasing him, so how could he not run quickly? He saw that the steel-backed pig was the fastest, and it was getting closer and closer to Hua Zihuan in a few steps. Seeing this, Hua Zihuan also released all his true energy and ran quickly towards the direction of the village guard team's gun formation. The entire village guard team was ready for battle.
Hua Zihuan saw that the steel-backed pig was less than 10 meters away from him. He knew that if he walked any further, the steel-backed pig might disperse the team. When he was only a few meters away from the village guard team, he suddenly stopped and turned around to stab the steel-backed pig behind him with his spear.
When the steel-backed pig saw that the other party stopped and turned around to attack, it also hurriedly slowed down and lowered its head to protect the vital parts of its head, but its back was hit by the assassin.
"Bang!" Hua Zihuan stabbed the steel-backed pig in the back, and the spear tip only penetrated a few inches, but the steel-backed pig was fine. Although its back was hard, it was still painful to be stabbed like this! The steel-backed pig was very ferocious and roared towards Hua Zihuan. Hua Zihuan felt his entire right arm was numb, and he hurried back to the team with the recoil force. It was Hua Zihuan's sniper just now. The village protection team quickly opened the passage for him to enter the formation, and then quickly closed it. When the steel-backed pig reacted and ran to the front of the formation, the formation had been restored. The steel-backed pig rushed over and hit the gun formation directly. A terrible pig cry sounded, and three long spears pierced the steel-backed pig's neck and chest at the same time. Because one end of the gun was fixed in the snow, the steel-backed pig was almost stabbed due to inertia. Without waiting for it to struggle, Hua Yue and others picked up the long spears in their hands and stabbed the struggling steel-backed pig to death. All the other wild beasts, driven by hunger, followed the steel-backed pigs to kill the village guards, and they also attacked the village guards' gun formation with the steel-backed pigs.
"Three… two… one… kill!"
Hua Zihuan saw the wild beasts coming up, and when he saw the right moment, all the members of the first row of the village guards thrust out their spears at the same time. With the help of the spears blocking the way on the ground, more than ten wild beasts were killed.
Because most of the members of the first row of the village guards were at the Kaiyuan realm, they could shoot accurately and quickly. Several wild beasts escaped the first wave of attacks, and just as they were about to approach the village guards, the second row came to fill the gap.
The first wave of attacks was perfectly blocked by the village guards, and everyone in the first row quickly retreated back to the team, leaving a distance between everyone and the wild beasts. There were more than a dozen dead wild beasts lying here, and several wild beasts seemed to be alive and struggling on the ground.
"Second row… kill!" Hua Zihuan asked the team to keep a good distance from the wild beasts. The second row of 30 spears quickly attacked, and about ten wild beasts were killed. Hua Zihuan did not wait for the wild beasts behind to approach the second row of spearmen to retreat quickly, and the third row quickly attacked again.
After three rounds of attacks, nearly half of the wild beasts had died, and the village protection team began to get injured.
All the people in the first row were the strongest in the village, bearing the greatest pressure in the first wave. Most of the second row were tempered at the 8th and 9th levels, while the third row was only tempered at the 6th and 7th levels.
After three rows of stabbing, the third row retreated back to the formation again. Hua Zihuan saw that all the high-level wild beasts in the wild beast group had almost died in these attacks. When the first row arrived again, nearly half of the wild beast group had died or been injured. Some smart wild beasts hesitated at this time. They began to leave the wild beast group and prepare to escape.
"Free attack, kill!" Hua Zihuan saw that the wild beast group was doomed, and even if he changed the attack order, several Kaiyuan Realm masters heard this and jumped out of the queue directly and chased the wild beasts.
The villagers lying on the wall of Huajiabao and watching cheered happily, and the herd of wild beasts finally began to flee.
Hua Kai saw the system prompt, and drove away the herd of wild beasts to gain 6 points of family luck. The wild beasts that escaped were all relatively intelligent. They would not come to the Huajiabao area again after suffering losses in Huajiabao, and the pressure on Huajiabao would be reduced this winter.
The fourth uncle led the village protection team to chase for hundreds of meters, leaving a field of wild beast corpses and stopped chasing. They turned back to kill the wild beasts that were not dead yet, organized everyone to start collecting the wild beast corpses, and buried the blood with snow, so as not to attract new herds of wild beasts.
The gate of Huajiabao was wide open, and many villagers all rushed out of the village to help. Among them were some children in their teens. They were also feeling the joy of victory at this time. Hua Xing stood on the gate and nodded with a smile. The entire Huajiabao could not be supported by one person alone. Letting more people learn to fight wild beasts will make the family stronger and stronger.
Hua Kai welcomed all the members of the village protection team at the door. This time, they killed more than 50 wild beasts in total, most of which were inedible. Most of the wild beasts that attacked the village were carnivores, and their meat was mostly sour, and many of them contained certain toxins. Some omnivores, such as the steel-backed pig, were edible meat.
After returning to the village to summarize the battle, only one member of the village protection team was slightly injured, and he would recover after a few days of recuperation. Huajiabao killed a total of 4 high-level wild beasts, 19 mid-level wild beasts and 31 low-level wild beasts, harvesting a total of 54 animal skins, more than 2,600 kilograms of wild beast meat, and about 600 kilograms of wild beast bones.
The women in the village began to come out to skin and bone the wild beasts. Some wild beast meat could not be eaten, but the bones could still be refined into silver. Hua Kai ordered his uncle to distribute all the wild beast meat to the whole village. The family would keep half of the high-level wild beast meat, and the rest would be distributed to the members of the village protection team who fought bravely today. The intermediate wild beast meat would be distributed to other village protection teams and genius families, and the remaining low-level wild beast meat would be given to other ordinary villagers in the village.
Each household could get about 10 kilograms of wild beast meat. This was the long-term distribution method of Huajiabao. Of course, all the animal bones belonged to the Hua family. When winter was about to end, the Hua family would refine the animal bones and extract bone coins and gold and silver from them.
In the evening, all the families of Huajiabao villagers began to stew meat. Hua Kai had not finished the black bear meat last time, and the housekeeper gave him another 30 kilograms of steel-back pork. He stored all the wild beast meat in the portable space, leaving only a small portion for his mother every day, and took it out after it was finished, so as to ensure the freshness of the meat.
Entering the space at night, Hua Kai checked the family panel. He gained another 2 points of luck from the meat distribution in the afternoon, a total of 12 points of luck, which made him think about how to use these luck points to quickly strengthen the strength of the entire family.
Because only when the family becomes stronger can he gain more luck points, which he had discovered when upgrading the family's [Calm Mind Technique]. Looking at the 84 points of luck points displayed on the crystal column, Hua Kai checked the information of all family members.
