The winding dirt road extends from Taoyuan Village, with farmland on both sides, where lush green wheat seedlings sway in the wind.
Further afield, the hillsides rise and fall, and the forests are dense.
In the fields outside Peach Blossom Village, many people are hunting wild animals.
Some people were using machetes to brutally kill rabbits that were over a meter long, some were holding long spears and confronting roosters that were as tall as a person, and some were chasing scarecrows with torches.
The scene was exactly like an online game, with everyone trying to kill monsters and level up.
Because there are more players than monsters, monster-stealing incidents often occur.
Lu Chao was young, only fourteen years old. He didn't dare to kill any fierce wild animals, so he could only kill rabbits and scarecrows near the village.
He was searching for a target when he suddenly saw a white rabbit appear in front of him.
It is described as a single animal because the rabbit is the size of an adult golden retriever, with blood-red eyes and a wild appearance.
Especially their large front teeth, which were white and sharp.
If it bites you, it can bite off a chunk of flesh.
Lu Chao's face lit up with joy, and he rushed forward with his cleaver in hand.
With only three or four meters to go, I was suddenly hit on the back, and I immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground.
He looked up angrily and saw that the person who had bumped into him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
"Why did you hit me? I noticed you first!"
Lu Chao looked unwilling; he knew that even if he got up again to chase after them, it would be too late.
The boy ran up to the rabbit, raised his knife to chop it, then deliberately paused, turned to look at Lu Chao, and said with a mocking expression, "Whoever grabs it first keeps it. Who told you to be so stupid?"
As he spoke, the boy was about to bring down his broadsword.
Just then, a rope suddenly flew out from the side, wrapped around the rabbit, and in a flash, the rabbit was pulled away.
Both the boy and Lu Chao were a little confused, and they both looked in the direction where the rabbit had been dragged away.
A young man was seen holding a retractable rope in his left hand and a two-meter-long stick in his right.
The stick was entirely silver-white, emanating a chilling aura, and covered with intricate patterns.
The white rabbit was dragged to the man's feet, and he swung his stick, smashing it on the rabbit's head, killing it instantly.
Then, with a wave of his left hand, the rabbit's corpse disappeared.
This scene not only surprised Lu Chao and the boy, but also many people nearby stared in astonishment.
Anyone can see that this person possesses a very powerful magical weapon.
Xia Tianqiong's first task after leaving Peach Blossom Village was to hunt down fifteen giant rabbits.
The tailor shop needs rabbit skins, while the rabbit meat can be used for other tasks.
Here, with each beast killed, a wisp of ghostly power emanates from the corpse and enters the hunter's body.
When you accumulate to a certain level, you will upgrade and your physical fitness will improve in all aspects.
Xia Tianqiong strolled slowly across the fields, as if taking a walk. When a rabbit appeared, before anyone could rush over, he would throw out his Sky-Reaching Rope and tie it up.
Then I smashed it to death with the Frost Silver Rod and put it into my spatial ring.
The spatial ring was obtained from Liu Zhentian, while the Frost Silver Rod was a magical artifact bought at the Ghost Realm Auction. It has freezing properties, and using it to kill wild beasts will not damage their fur.
Wherever Xia Tianqiong goes, he steals all the rabbits.
In an instant, it attracted countless envious yet indignant glances.
"Hey bro, wanna team up? It's safer and more efficient to kill monsters together."
A man came over to talk to her, but Xia Tianqiong glanced at him and refused outright.
"Handsome guy, can you help me out?"
No sooner had the man left than a young and beautiful woman with short hair appeared.
She looked at Xia Tianqiong, smiled sweetly, her eyebrows and eyes crinkling, and her appearance was particularly endearing.
There are quite a few women among those killing monsters near the village entrance. After all, women are generally weaker and less physically capable, so they don't dare to hunt powerful wild beasts and can only kill rabbits and scarecrows here.
Xia Tianqiong glanced at the woman and said calmly, "This isn't a real game, so there's no way to share experience with you. If you want to level up, you have to rely on yourself."
The short-haired woman was about to say something when Xia Tianqiong suddenly strode away, ceasing his rabbit hunt.
They have clearly killed enough people.
The people nearby were secretly pleased to see him leave, thinking that this annoying guy was finally gone and they could finally compete fairly.
Xia Tianqiong killed fifteen large rabbits, but only got a rabbit fur scarf.
This could be considered a strange artifact, with heat-insulating properties. He casually put it into his spatial ring without giving it much of a second glance.
Then we walked briskly forward, through wheat fields, over small hills, and further and further away.
He was going to hunt the beasts for his next mission.
The further away from Peach Blossom Village they went, the more ferocious the wild beasts became.
Gradually, you can see some huge wild boars, elk, jackals and other wild animals.
People who hunt monsters here almost never act alone; they usually hunt wild beasts in small teams of three to five people.
When Xia Tianqiong crossed a small hill, he happened to encounter a deer.
The elk is a large, imposing creature. When it raises its head, it can reach a height of two or three meters, and its huge antlers are like tree branches.
Although there was no task to kill deer, since we've encountered them, there's no reason to let them go.
Xia Tianqiong swung out the Heavenly Rope, then strode over and smashed it to death with a stick, but nothing exploded out.
He clearly felt that the Netherworld power he obtained from the deer carcass was several times greater than that from the rabbit.
Obviously, killing stronger beasts will level you up faster.
Xia Tianqiong collected the deer carcass and continued on his way.
Behind the mound, two men and a woman were secretly watching his departing figure.
