Master Xiong Qi’s hunting group!

Inside the spacious cave, behind a chair carved out of a huge stone hangs a crooked wooden board, on which is written a line of large characters in sloppy handwriting that looks like it was scratched with chicken claws.

Presumably, this is the official name of the Old Black Bear Hunting Group? Chu Tian looked at the wooden board, feeling a bit amused. What kind of a crappy name is this?

The old black bear sat on the chair with his body tilted, one eye staring at the account book on the long table in front of him, and the other eye blinking at Chu Tian, ​​occasionally glancing at the hunting group members who were standing loosely in the cave.

This reckless fellow was actually doing two things at once!

While he was calculating the accounts, he was also talking distractedly. Chu Tian was very curious. Isn't this old blind bear afraid of making a mistake in the calculations and suffering a huge loss?

"Hey, Wang Tiezhua, this is your regular wage of fifty spirit crystals for this spring hunt. Well, you killed... let me count, one, two, three... seven, eight, nine... wow, you killed nine spirit cultivators. Tsk tsk, considering that you lost an arm, I'll make it a round number for you and give you one more head, so you've killed ten!"

Grabbing a leather bag on the long table and shaking it, the old black bear opened the bag and looked inside. He muttered something and threw dozens of spirit crystals the size of a baby's fist into it. Then he threw the leather bag heavily into Wang Tiebi's arms.

"Ten spiritual cultivators, nine in the Spirit Gathering Realm, nine hundred, and one in the Soul Condensing Realm, one thousand. A total of one thousand nine hundred low-grade spirit crystals. Count them carefully, and don't say that I'm withholding the money you earned!" The old black bear blinked his small eyes at Chu Tian, ​​and at the same time, he smiled at Wang Tiebi who was standing next to Chu Tian with spit in his mouth.

"You'd better save more money. You have a family of children and women waiting for you to support. Don't spend it all on dirty talk or feed it to those women's bottomless pits!" The old black bear yelled and cursed, and the three hundred or so men in the hunting group in the cave laughed at the same time.

Wang Tiebi happily shook the animal hide bag in his hand and pounded his chest with his right hand: "What are you talking about, Boss Xiong? Am I that kind of person? Hehe, it's worth it to risk my life this time."

Chu Tian stood quietly by the side, watching Old Black Bear flipping through the account book while distributing bounties to the hunting group.

Apart from Wang Tiebi, only a few people including Zhao Duyan received bonuses of more than one thousand spirit crystals. The number of members in other hunting groups ranged from five to six hundred to as few as two hundred. However, everyone was in high spirits and had a smile on their face.

Chu Tian thought of the dolls that came out of the old black bear's cabin at the dock. How many spirit crystals could be sold for five or six thousand dolls? The spirit crystals that the old black bear took out to give out bonuses were already two or three hundred thousand. He must be able to earn more.

Are those dolls the so-called spiritual practice?

After working for several hours and distributing all the bonuses to the more than 300 members of the hunting group, Old Black Bear slammed the account book shut, grinned and stretched, "What a headache! In my opinion, we still have to hire an old vixen to be the accountant. Besides eating, drinking, whoring and gambling every day, you have to do some real work. Find out where we can hire someone!"

Waving his two arms, which were much thicker than an average person's waist, the old black bear cursed and said, "I'm going to lead you to kill and burn again, and I'm going to bargain with those black-hearted dealers, and I'm going to keep accounts and give you rewards. I'm in charge of everything inside and outside... I'm a bear, is it easy for me?"

After cursing at Wang Tiebi, Zhao Duyan and others, Old Black Bear grabbed the last animal skin bag on the table and threw it at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian grabbed the animal leather bag and shook it vigorously. From the animal leather bag came the sound of spirit crystals colliding. He opened the bag and took a look inside. The palm-sized animal leather bag had a volume of ten feet in radius, and fifty low-grade spirit crystals were floating inside.

"Not bad, you're a good hand! You were able to crush the claws of Scorpion No. 3, and killed him in front of so many people, which really disgraced Thirty-Six. This is a reward from Master Bear!" The old black bear stood up, shook his huge body and walked in front of Chu Tian, ​​and slapped him heavily on the shoulder.

With a loud 'bang', the ground beneath Chu Tian's feet shook slightly, and the black stone ground cracked into several fine cracks, but his body did not move at all.

The old black bear was slightly startled, then burst into laughter: "You are indeed a good fighter, able to withstand 70% of Master Bear's strength. No wonder you killed Scorpion Third like a chicken. Not bad, not bad, let's do it this way in the future. Whoever dares to provoke our group will be beaten to death!"

The scarlet tongue licked the tip of his nose, and the old black bear came close to Chu Tian, ​​revealing a strange smile on his black-haired face: "But, kid, no matter what your origin is, no matter where you came from, no matter who you offended and were demoted to a slave, in short, you are what Master Bear bought from above with ten top-quality female slaves."

"So, don't have any evil ideas, just follow Master Bear wholeheartedly! You will know Master Bear's character in the future! As long as you are willing to work hard and dare to fight and kill, good days are waiting for you." With a strange laugh, the old black bear pointed at the young girl who was hiding timidly behind Chu Tian and said with a smile: "Hey guys, look at the new little brother Ming Wang. Hehe, he just arrived at the old bear cave and he found a warm bed for himself!"

The big men in the hunting group burst into laughter and made strange faces at Chu Tian.

Wang Tiebi laughed and said, "It's not bad. This 'Hand-Chopping Slave' of Scorpion Third has an arm missing, but it's an original one! Hehe, Brother Mingwang is blessed!"

Chu Tian was stunned. "Hand-chopping slave"?

"Old Black Bear, what's the saying about this slave with chopped hands?" Chu Tian frowned and looked at Old Black Bear. The name was very strange and filled with evil spirit.

The old black bear laughed a few times and touched his nose disapprovingly: "A bunch of low-class bastards came up with this way to make money... This girl is lucky, hehe!"

Shaking his fat body, the old black bear hummed a tune as he walked to the chair, grabbed the account book on the table, slowly walked around the huge stone screen behind the chair, and went into the depths of the cave.

Wang Tiebi, Zhao Duyan and others came over. Zhao Duyan looked at the girl behind Chu Tian and shook his head, saying, "Chopping off the hand of a slave was a trick that Scorpion Old Third came up with. It's a despicable method used to blackmail new recruits. He chopped off this girl's arm inch by inch and piece by piece."

The girl's face suddenly turned pale, and she leaned on Chu Tian tremblingly.

Chu Tian's face also turned ugly. How did he get the title of 'Hand-Chopping Slave'?

"Whenever I meet a newcomer, I chop off a piece of his hand, throw it at his feet, and extort a sum of spirit crystals!" Wang Tiebi sneered, "This hand-chopping slave is quite famous in the Old Bear Cave. This little girl is really unlucky to meet a master like Scorpion Third. In total, she must have been chopped off by Scorpion Third at least 17 or 18 times, right?"

A surge of anger surged up in Chu Tian's heart, and he suddenly felt that Scorpion Old Third died too easily.
