Wu Juan was unaware that Wu Ling had already started stretching his muscles behind her!
She smiled at Lin Ru, but when she suddenly met Lin Ru's very clear eyes, she felt a little embarrassed!
She could finally understand how Wu Ling felt!
Although their chieftain covered her face with mud, her clear and bright eyes could not be hidden, especially when she looked at you very seriously, your image was clearly reflected in her eyes!
Suddenly, a line of poetry came to mind!
The mountains and rivers are vast, and the world is full of life. Nothing in them is you, yet everything is you!
Wu Juan shyly avoided Lin Ru's direct gaze!
"Chief! The truth is that our Wu tribe people aren't very good at hunting. Whenever we go up the mountain, the wild beasts all avoid us! It's as if we're cursed!"
"The young clan leader doesn't want to hold you back, and he doesn't want you to be disappointed!"
Lin Ru was extremely surprised!
"Good heavens! I was wondering before why you didn't hunt for money. Now I understand! But don't worry, I have a way to lure those wild animals here! Then you can just hunt them down!"
"By the way! How do you live in the mountains? Do you grow crops?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Juan let out a long sigh!
"Alas! We do grow grain! But no matter how hard we try, the harvest is always very small! It's not enough for us to eat!"
"So in our spare time, we can only do manual labor, such as escorting goods for others, to earn some money to buy food and return to the mountains!"
"But even doing manual labor as a deliveryman, I always get cheated, which is really infuriating."
"We've tried planting crops and potatoes in several different places, but they just won't grow! We've also tried raising chickens, ducks, and pigs, but they always die inexplicably!"
"We even opened a shop, but no matter what we sold, nobody came! It was like they couldn't even see our shop!"
"Not only that, we also tried taking the imperial examinations! But for so many generations, not a single person has passed them!"
"The tribespeople all say it's because we're cursed, and only the chieftain can save us!"
Lin Ru was even more surprised, "Then your martial arts skills!?"
Upon hearing the mention of martial arts, Wu Juan seemed slightly comforted. "Now that you mention martial arts, we're really something! People from our Wu clan love practicing martial arts from a young age, and they're all extremely talented! They basically grasp things instantly, much faster than studying!"
"Besides, we're naturally strong! We have no other weaknesses except for eating a lot!"
Lin Ru roughly understood what this martial clan was all about!
It must be the legendary case of growing muscles but not brains.
And perhaps because they live in the mountains and haven't experienced the harshness of the world, they are relatively naive, kind, and always get deceived!
Their elders must have been obsessed with martial arts and lacked common sense. In addition, these people can eat a lot, which is why they are so poor!
Lin Ru, this is the only explanation you can think of!
But curses are possible, after all, there's already something as bizarre as her time travel!
If there truly is a curse in this world, she could accept it!
However, Lin Ru still insisted on bringing Wu Ling and the others along!
She wanted to see whether the curse was more powerful or her spiritual spring water was more potent!
Once they reached the depths of the mountains, Lin Ru, taking advantage of the cover of night, began pouring spiritual spring water beside her as she walked!
She pretended to be looking around, and after walking about 300 meters, she said, "Let's wait here for a bit! I've sprinkled some animal bait powder on the ground! I used this to catch four pheasants last time, and it seemed to work pretty well!"
The group had come with Lin Ru, so they had no objections to what she said. However, after waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there was still no movement.
Lin Ru could see that Da Wuling and Wu Juan's expressions were getting worse and worse as time went on!
"Chief! Why don't we all go back first? I feel like things might be better if we leave!"
"This thing is really weird! We've never successfully hunted it in all these years!"
Lin Ru patted Wu Juan on the shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry! Didn't you say before that your curse would be lifted only if you met the owner of the token? I don't believe in that nonsense today!"
"I'll let you go hunting this time!"
"It must be because I didn't use enough animal-attracting powder! You wait..."
Before Lin Ru could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from the bushes nearby!
Lin Ru immediately stopped speaking, and everyone gripped their knives tightly, assuming a defensive posture!
In a short while, five wild rabbits suddenly hopped out one after another. Everyone was very happy to see that there was finally prey after waiting for so long!
They were about to make a move when Wu Ling stopped them!
Wu Ling said coldly, "Don't move! I can hear several large wild beasts loitering around nearby. They must have smelled our presence! Everyone, please remain silent and wait until these big guys arrive before making any moves!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly. After a while, they saw a dark shadow suddenly dart out from the depths of the forest!
He went straight to Lin Ru's side!
Wu Ling immediately drew his sword and pierced the enormous creature through with a single blow!
Lin Ru was utterly astonished to see the figure suddenly blocking her way!
She admired Wu Ling's reaction speed and the speed at which he drew his sword!
When she looked closely, she realized that the huge creature that had suddenly pounced on her was actually a wild boar weighing over 300 pounds!
Moreover, that sword struck the inside of the wild boar's foreleg, right where its heart was!
After confirming that the wild boar had died, Wu Ling swiftly pulled out his sword! He did so so fast that not a drop of blood was drawn!
Following the death of this wild boar, six more wild boars, eight rabbits, fifteen pheasants, three roe deer, and two black bears appeared one after another!
The appearance of the two black bears in the back caused a great deal of chaos, and the villagers of Shili Village were terrified!
Especially when the black bear stood up, it was almost as tall as an adult man!
Lin Ru peeked out from behind Wu Ling and saw the black bear stand up. It really did have a small white V-neck on its chest, like a bib! It really was like having a scarf with it!
And this bear clearly has poor eyesight! No wonder everyone calls it the blind bear!
Seeing the head peeking out beside him, Wu Ling quickly used his still relatively clean hand to push it back down, shielding it tightly behind him.
Wu Ling instructed his men to form a defensive formation, protecting the villagers of Shili Village and Lin Ru and the others at the innermost part! They quickly dealt with the animals!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Ru also put two live wild rabbits and five live pheasants into her spatial storage!
She plans to keep the rabbit and pheasant in her spatial dimension!
I've heard that rabbits reproduce very quickly, and pheasants can also lay and hatch eggs! Even if there are no mountains and I can't catch rabbits and pheasants, I can still eat rabbit meat and wild eggs. After all, I have such a heaven-defying thing as the spiritual spring water. I don't believe I can't raise them!
Just when everyone thought it was over, unexpectedly, a sparse sound came from the bushes again!
