The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 33 Fighting in the Mountains
Dian Jing did not stay long. After saying these words, he left Yunqian Village and prepared to go into the mountains.

He was originally planning to go into the mountains to hunt wild beasts with other hunters.

The reason I came to tell Su Yan this news was indeed to make compensation.

When Su Yan saw Dian Jing leave, he thought for a moment, took two pieces of bacon from the room, and went to the village entrance to find the old headman.

Although Yunqian Village is not a hunter village, there are many hunters. If there is any news from the government office, the head of the village should know something about it.

When he found Old Man Zheng, the old man was holding a pipe and preparing to go out.

"Grandpa, are you going out?"

When the village head Zheng Daqing saw Su Yan coming, a smile appeared on his old face and he nodded kindly: "I'm just taking a walk around the village. I just happened to have something to tell you."

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself: "Could it be the same thing?"

He took out some dried bacon and said, "Grandpa, the village head, I made some dried meat from the gray rabbit I hunted a few days ago. I made it today and it's just right for you and Uncle Gang to try."

Zheng Daqing was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows curved. "No, no, how can I take your things?"

"Uncle Gang helped me take my second uncle to the market for treatment. He was willing to walk such a long distance, so why can't I get it?"

Su Yan stuffed the bacon into the village head's hand and asked him to hold it steady. Then he said casually, "Grandpa, a friend of mine said that there's been some unrest in the mountains lately."

The village head looked at Su Yan in surprise and nodded, "As expected of Brother Yan, you are well-informed. This morning, the adults in the city sent a message that there are beasts causing trouble in the mountains. They told the herders to be careful and not to enter the mountain area easily."

The village head knew no more information than Dian Jing, but the advantage was that they could verify each other.

After hearing what he said, Su Yan had a plan in mind.

"What Dian Jing said is true. This is an opportunity."

A sharp look flashed across his eyes. He exchanged a few words with the village head and then left.

He returned home, changed his clothes, and dressed as a mountain hiker. He picked up his machete and whistle stick, put his longbow on his back, and strode into the mountains.

He directly abandoned the outer mountain, released the Yinshui centipede and the velvet fire scorpion insect in the bushes, and then headed straight for the inner mountain.

The dense forest is like an umbrella, with vines everywhere. There seems to be a path among the bushes and weeds, but it is actually a rotten mountain road with rotten leaves and mud.

Su Yan has made some progress in standing meditation, and his steps are steady, making it seem like he is walking on flat ground on this mountain road.

He rushed for an hour, climbed over two or three hills, and arrived at the top of the mountain.

"We're almost there now. It's a good time to let the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion go look for some treasure plants and wild beasts."

Su Yan found an old tree with a relatively wide view, holding the hardwood bow in his hand, and drove the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion out from the left and right, and they disappeared into the bushes.

Although the two insects are small in size, they are quite intimidating in this forest.

They burrowed into the bushes, weeds, and roots of old trees.

Soon, wild rabbits, roe deer, pheasants and other small animals were seen running around among the bushes and grass.

Su Yan's eyes were like an eagle's, he drew his bow and shot, and the tall trees and bushes in the forest could not block his sight.

After mastering the basic archery skills, his perception and technique became particularly sensitive in this forest, and drawing the bow and shooting arrows seemed as natural as moving his hands and feet.

In just a short while, Su Yan hunted a lot of wild pheasants and rabbits.

Suddenly, the bushes began to sway and a roaring sound was heard.

On the Yinshui Centipede's side, there seemed to be a ferocious beast confronting it.

Su Yan's eyes lit up, and the desire to fight arose in his heart, and he strode forward.

"Roar"

But there was a loud roar, like a muffled thunder, and a huge black creature stood upright in the bushes.

'What a black blind man!'

The big black bear's fangs were exposed, and its hooked claws were exposed on its huge paws, looking like it was baring its fangs and claws.

In front of it, the Yinshui Centipede raised its body, shook slightly, and released the aura of entry.

The big black bear obviously recognized that the Yinshui Centipede was not a simple poisonous creature, so even though there was a huge difference in size, it did not dare to take the risk of fighting, but instinctively used its huge body to threaten.

However, Su Yan's arrival broke the balance.

The big black bear roared angrily and was about to attack.

"You came just in time!" Su Yan was just about to fight and practice, to push his stance skills, boxing skills, and even his skin refining skills to a higher level, so how could he be afraid of fighting?

The Yinshui Centipede retreated two or three meters to make room, and Su Yan rushed forward with big strides.

The black bear pounced on him like a big black cloth, a black ball, and a fishy wind blew in his face.

Su Yan's feet generated power through standing meditation. He stepped three feet into the ground, and the power came from the ground. His waist seemed to be loose, and the power of his whole body gathered together to support the bear. It was just like the old ape supporting the mountain, blocking the palms of the evil bear.

The big black bear was startled and frightened. Even a tiger in the forest would find it difficult to wrestle with it, so how could there be a two-legged beast that used to be its food?

Su Yan ignored the reaction of the stupid bear. He exerted force with his hands, moved his body, and knocked the black bear to the ground.

There was a dull thud, and countless bushes were broken.

The big black bear turned over in pain and rushed forward like a heavy truck.

The fat and fur all over his body were shaking and undulating, revealing the brutality of his charge and the heaviness of his body.

"It's more resilient than a tiger."

Su Yan rushed forward, but the bear opened its mouth and bit him, scratching him with its claws.

He swung his arms like whips, turning into a golden ape and striking the big black bear's head hard.

This blow knocked him unconscious and his body collapsed.

Su Yan's feet exploded with great force, and he raised one knee, like Kuixing kicking. With a snap, he broke the black bear's jaw and forced it to raise its head.

Before the black bear could get angry, the white ape offered peaches and attacked.

He lifted his feet with both hands, exerting a force of one to two thousand pounds, breaking the man's jaw and cervical spine, killing him.

The huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and Su Yan exhaled and stopped practicing.

"It turns out that it's still not integrated enough, otherwise if I lifted my body and flipped over, the golden ape would have hit it on the back of the neck and killed it long ago. Come again..."

Su Yan was so excited about the fight that he temporarily ignored the black bear's corpse and continued to let the Yinshui Centipede and the Velvet Fire Scorpion continue searching.

About ten minutes later, a wild boar the size of a calf with bared fangs came rampaging in the bushes.

Su Yan abandoned his longbow, strode forward, tackled him with both hands and smashed his skull with two punches.

After an hour, it was unclear whether the black panther was scared out by the Yinshui centipede, or the black panther targeted Su Yan first.

The leopard suddenly attacked from the old branches of a tall tree.

Su Yan felt something and fought with it.

The leopard is agile and moves fiercely, like a flash of lightning in the forest.

Su Yan remained calm, turning over and twisting like a ferocious ape in the mountains, handling the situation with ease.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, he managed to capture the leopard from the tree and break its spine.

As night gradually fell, Su Yan stopped to rest, but had no plans to go down the mountain.

The rabbit was placed on the fire, and the Yinshui centipede and the velvet fire scorpion devoured the prey they had killed today.

Su Yan stood among the old forest shrubs. The mountain breeze blew in with a cold breeze, and the branches of the old trees and the weeds and shrubs made rustling sounds. It was so quiet.

"Martial arts are inherently about killing. They are the art of fighting against others, against nature, and against oneself. It's not about practicing like a dead end. It's about not just moving, but also being able to fight and daring to fight."

He gained some understanding and became more and more comfortable standing still. His face was calm as water, but the energy and blood in his body surged like flames, constantly tempering the skin all over his body.

A layer of qi and blood continuously surrounds and gradually converges under this membrane to form a second layer of protection.

Today's fight allowed his gradually slowing progress to accelerate again, even though he had only fought a bear, a leopard, and a pig, among many other prey.

But this feeling is completely different from just practicing boxing.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, the wind started to blow under the moon, and the sound of frightened wolves howling could be heard.

Su Yan opened his eyes, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes.

The howling of wolves echoed one after another in the mountain stream, but it was not the sound of a group gathering, but more like the sound of panic and escape.

"What dares to hunt wolves?"
