Ten years later …
Deep within the mountain, a wisp of green smoke followed the breeze and entered the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a village. This village was known as the King's Village.
This village was deserted, as if it was isolated from the world. However, in the center of the village, there was a 20 foot tall stone tower.
There were many deep ravines on top of the tower, and if one looked closely, they would find that there was a handprint an inch deep on the tower! Extremely terrifying!
”Chuan'er! At the entrance of a thatched cottage, an old man shook the long, dry smoke in his hand and shouted into the house.
”Grandfather!” ”What time is it, you're about to enter the mountain?” A tender voice came from inside the house.
”The early bird has the worm to eat, now is the time to act, we should act too.” The old man said.
A few moments later, a child around ten years old slowly walked out of the thatched cottage with a horned bow on his back. He looked somewhat like a hunter.
This grandfather-grandson pair relied on hunting to maintain their livelihood. Although they were tired, they could still keep themselves warm and full. They could even eat meat that ordinary people couldn't eat all year round.
The grandfather and grandson duo passed by the King's Village, one in front of the other.
”Yo!” ”The old gramps is about to enter the mountain again!?” A brawny man holding a haystack asked with a smile when he saw the grandfather and grandson duo.
”That's right, we should enter the mountain as soon as possible so that we can return as soon as possible.” The old man said.
”Uncle Heng, why did you come back so early to weed?” The child behind the old man asked.
”Hehe, the grass in the morning is tender, so I brought some dew, those cows love to eat it! Jiang Chuan, you should learn how to hunt properly from your grandfather! ”Perhaps in the future, the Great King Village will have to rely on you to eat meat.” The muscular man chuckled and said.
”Don't worry Uncle Heng, I can definitely learn my grandfather's true teachings!” The child laughed as he spoke.
The grandfather and grandson duo said their goodbyes and slowly walked towards the depths of the mountains. Before they even entered the mountains, they could already hear the sounds of birds and beasts.
Jiang Chuan was walking behind, and he was carefully listening to the birds and insects in the mountain. Although they were only ten years old, Jiang Chuan could already tell from their voices what kind of birds and beasts they were, even in terms of their age and size. Of course, this ultimate skill had been personally taught by the old man, and did not come out of nowhere.
Jiang Chuan looked left and right, but he was frequently looking at the huge axe on the old man's back!
This axe was stained with rust, but Jiang Chuan knew that it was extremely sharp. Last time, a six foot long wild wolf was split in half by this axe! The broken bone was incomparably smooth, as if it had been cut apart by an extremely sharp weapon!
”Grandfather!” ”How long have you been using this axe for?” Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
”Hehe, don't look at this axe. It's something that was passed down from our ancestors! ”I'll teach it to you in the future too!” The old man laughed.
”Grandfather!” ”Then let me have a try and see if I can take advantage of this.” Jiang Chuan said.
”Hmph hmph, you little brat, I'm afraid you can't even lift it, do you still want to use it?” The old man snorted as he took the giant axe from his back and placed it on the ground.
Jiang Chuan wiped his hands and pulled up his pants that looked like they were about to fall off. He stretched his waist and then walked over to the axe. Both of his hands were tightly gripping the handle of the axe!
