Chapter 12: Life and Death Hunt

The next morning, Zhang Chen was woken up by Sima Feng. Zhang Chen still couldn't hold back and fell asleep last night.

"Come, drink this bear blood first." Sima Feng brought over a large bowl of steaming chest blood.

Zhang Chen took the bowl and was hit by a strong fishy smell. This made Zhang Chen frown and he couldn't eat it.

"Eat it while it's fresh. It won't taste good when it gets cold," Sima Feng urged.

"I'll go for it." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps. He resisted the nausea in his stomach, put the bowl beside the bed, and immediately practiced to distract himself.

After a while, he felt the heat in his body surging, his whole body began to feel hot, and his head began to emit hot steam. Zhang Chen took off all his clothes, leaving only a short tight-fitting shirt.

"Get up and exercise quickly, don't let your blood and energy evaporate." Sima shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.

Zhang Chen stood up immediately. His legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. His ankles and thighs were still stabbing with pain. He went out and, as Sima Feng requested, he began to run around the house. While running, he saw the body of a bear weighing about 500 kilograms hanging on the side of the house. Blood was still dripping on the ground. It looked like it had died not long ago.

Sima Feng was also exercising. He was naked, with bronze muscles all over his body. He lifted a huge rock above his head, then dropped it heavily, hitting the ground with a bang. The rock looked like it weighed several hundred kilograms. After exercising for a while, Sima Feng was steaming all over.

"What a human-shaped beast! When can I become so strong?" Zhang Chen ran over and took a look and exclaimed.

About half an hour later, Zhang Chen was sweating all over, the heat in his body disappeared, and he was panting from exhaustion. He reluctantly sat on the ground to practice, and he didn't dare to waste a moment.

At noon, Sima Feng started grilling bear meat again. "Eat this bear heart and gall first to replenish your energy and blood. Improve your courage so that you can go hunting wild animals with me." Sima Feng handed over the grilled bear heart and gall with a playful look on his face.

"Hunting wild animals? I've always wanted to go hunting with the hunters in our village. I didn't expect that I could realize it here." Zhang Chen was a little expectant.

"It's OK as long as you are not afraid. I will take you when you get used to the weight you carry and can move freely." Sima Feng smiled maliciously and said, "I don't hunt like the hunters in your village. Just don't cry for help when the time comes."

Time passed quickly, and half a month had passed in a flash. If Zhang Chen had not asked Sima Feng to go back and tell Wang Dong, Wang Dong would have gone to find the uncle in charge of newcomers to report Zhang Chen's disappearance.

Zhang Chen is very different now than he was half a month ago. He can move freely even when wearing weights. Due to daily exercise and eating wild animal meat, he has become stronger and has not fallen behind in his cultivation. However, he still cannot clearly feel the flow of Qi. However, his physical condition is obviously stronger than before. Zhang Chen is very pleased about this. He finally feels that his efforts have been rewarded.

"Let's go hunting early tomorrow morning. We have just finished eating the meat." Sima Feng said to Zhang Chen.

"Okay, Brother Sima, what kind of wild animal are we going to hunt tomorrow?" Zhang Chen was also curious and excited. Exercising and practicing every day was indeed a bit boring.

"You'll know when the time comes," Sima Feng smiled strangely.

In the early hours of the next day, Zhang Chen was practicing. He was now accustomed to falling asleep while practicing.

"Get up, get ready to go." Sima Feng pushed open the door and shouted. After Zhang Chen got up, he threw a pair of iron gloves over.

“Put this on.”

Zhang Chen put on the gloves and walked out of the room. It was still dawn.

"Brother Sima, don't we have any other tools?" Zhang Chen saw that Sima Feng had nothing in his hands, but Sima Feng was not wearing any weights today.

"No need, we ourselves are the best weapons." After Sima Feng finished speaking, he walked towards the jungle to the right of the house, and Zhang Chen immediately followed him.

They turned left and right in the jungle, but they always went along the river. After walking for about an hour, the sky gradually brightened. Sima Feng suddenly stopped, climbed up a big tree, looked around, and suddenly looked to the left for a long time. Then he climbed down.

"What's going on, Senior Brother Sima, have you discovered the wild beast?" Zhang Chen guessed based on Sima Feng's expression.

"Yes, on the tree about 500 meters on the left." Sima Feng pointed in the direction.

"On the tree? What is it? A leopard?" Zhang Chen asked.

"That's right, a wild leopard. Go and kill it now." Sima Feng said casually.

"I killed the leopard with my bare hands." Zhang Chen was surprised and a little hesitant. He thought to himself:

"This leopard is not easy to kill. It is agile, fast, and has a strong bite force. I am no match for it."

"Don't be afraid, I will take care of you." Sima Feng patted Zhang Chen's shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll do my best." Zhang Chen took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and slowly walked to the left.

Zhang Chen made plans as he walked. "I'm definitely not as fast as it is. I can only take advantage of its unpreparedness to hit its weak spots. For example, its eyes, anus, and abdomen. I also have to protect my weak spots. It will definitely try to attack my neck, which I can take advantage of."

As they approached their destination, Zhang Chen became more cautious, carefully observing the trees around him, his nerves tense.

Suddenly, he felt his scalp tingling. Zhang Chen's heart tightened, knowing that he was being stared at by a leopard. He hurriedly looked around and saw a pair of cold green eyes hidden by many leaves on a tree trunk about five meters high on the right. They stared at Zhang Chen's every move.

Zhang Chen also saw it and thought to himself, "I have to find a way to lure it down, otherwise I will always be passive."

Seeing a stone in front of him, Zhang Chen came up with an idea. He suddenly gasped and was in a panic. Suddenly, he tripped over a stone and rushed towards the tree under the leopard. He hit the tree head-on and lay under the tree. The leopard just blocked his sight, and he could only see Zhang Chen after he got down from the tree.

The leopard changed directions several times in the tree but couldn't see Zhang Chen. It became a little anxious and its eyes were full of vigilance.

Zhang Chen was also waiting quietly under the tree, not moving at all, lying flat with his head against the tree, his face covered with leaves, giving him the widest view, so the leopard couldn't even think of biting his neck.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was noon. Zhang Chen was holding on tightly, and Leopard could no longer hold back.

The leopard had been hungry for several days, but it couldn't hold on any longer. It grabbed the bark and retreated to the lowest branch. It turned around slowly, leaped up, and landed lightly three meters away from Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's muscles were tensed, ready to withstand the leopard's attack and then fight back. He only had one chance. He had to blind the leopard's eyes.

The leopard stared at Zhang Chen closely, looking around. After making sure there was no other danger, it bent its front legs slightly, tightened its hind leg muscles, and pounced forward, grabbing Zhang Chen's abdomen with one claw, making a crunching sound. Zhang Chen was also knocked sideways by the force, exposing his neck.

The leopard had just grabbed the weight on Zhang Chen's abdomen, and the tip of its right claw was broken, which affected its walking. It was just a tentative attack by the leopard, and when it found that Zhang Chen did not move, it quickly turned around and prepared to launch the final fatal attack.

Zhang Chen also remained motionless, knowing that the leopard's next attack would definitely be his neck. He gathered strength in his hands and feet, and concentrated his whole body, waiting. His mind suddenly became exceptionally clear.

The leopard stared at Zhang Chen's neck greedily, and saliva kept flowing on the ground. It couldn't wait any longer, and the desire for food kept stimulating it. Finally, it made up its mind and pounced on Zhang Chen's neck with its mouth wide open.

Zhang Chen felt a fishy wind coming towards him. At the critical moment, Zhang Chen opened his eyes and shouted. The leopard was frightened and its movements slowed down for a moment. At this time, it was too late for the leopard to retreat. Zhang Chen raised his legs and clamped the leopard's neck. He opened his hands to the left and right, and the knuckles on his hands kept hitting the leopard's eyes. The leopard screamed continuously, and its limbs exerted force to break free from Zhang Chen's control.

The leopard kept backing away and hit a tree. When it ran forward again, it hit the tree with a bang. It swayed from side to side and could not walk steadily.

"It's blind. This is a good opportunity. We should kill it while it's sick." Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen immediately chased after it.

The leopard sensed something approaching and bared its teeth in a threatening manner. Zhang Chen saw its panic and quietly walked in front of it and kicked it hard on the head. It flipped over and screamed.

I walked to its tail, grabbed its tail and swung it backwards with all my strength, hitting it hard against a tree. I repeated the same process several times. The leopard finally lay on the ground motionless, with only its abdomen rising and falling slightly, and it was breathing in more than out. Death was just a matter of time.

"Well done. You are brave, resourceful, and you seize the opportunity. If you stay in your village, you will definitely become a good hunter." Sima Feng walked over from a distance.

Zhang Chen saw Sima Feng coming and immediately relaxed his mind. Suddenly, he felt sore all over and felt weak. Although the battle was fast, it was not any easier than training.

"Brother Sima, I am really lucky this time. Fortunately, this leopard weighs only more than 100 pounds. Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise I would really die in its hands." Zhang Chen was also frightened.

"How did it feel, especially the moment when the leopard bit your neck?" Sima Feng asked.

"I was very nervous at first, but at that moment my mind suddenly became clear, my perception became more acute, my thinking was particularly clear, and my mind was completely focused on the leopard, so I was able to control it in time," Zhang Chen recalled.

"This state of desperation is very helpful for your cultivation. If you want to reach this state at any time, you must frequently undergo life and death tests so that your body can remember this feeling firmly. In this way, you can reach this state during your cultivation." Sima Feng suggested.

Zhang Chen nodded after listening to this. It seemed that the days ahead would be even more difficult.
