Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Great! Great! This thing works really well."

Ji Haobo walked down happily, very satisfied with the Flying Dragon Claw, which was definitely better than Chen Pi's Nine-Claw Hook.

"Brother Bo, this...this thing of yours is amazing!"

Yingzi was stunned. If she knew how to do this, she wouldn't need a gun to hunt.

Upon hearing Yingzi's ambiguous words, Ji Haobo's lips twitched, and he quickly said:

"Let's go back and deal with this deer quickly, or its blood will congeal."

When Lao Hu and his companions saw the two men hunt a sika deer, they excitedly went to help, secretly thinking that they would be in for a treat tonight.

The three of them took turns keeping watch that night, and nothing strange happened.

After dawn, we washed up and packed our things, and then continued our journey. This was the third day, and we had already begun to enter the old forest.

Unlike the outside world, the old forest is rarely visited by anyone, and even hunters would not come this far.

"Brother Bo, now that we're entering the old forest, everyone needs to be careful. There are all sorts of ferocious beasts and mountain spirits and monsters here."

And then there's the most dangerous miasma and poisonous fog; if you accidentally fall into it, you're basically doomed.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any of the things Yingzi mentioned all morning, but things did get complicated in the afternoon.

A group of people were walking through the dense forest when three hyenas suddenly bristled and stared warily ahead.

The others tensed up at the sight. Ji Haobo frowned, but he didn't sense any danger.

It is important to know that as internal martial arts reach the peak of Huajin (化劲), and are about to enter the realm of Baodan (抱丹), the ability to sense the movement of the cicada before the autumn wind blows also increases significantly.

Generally, if there is danger, even if he doesn't see it, his intuition will warn him.

"You wait here, I'll go check it out."

Old Hu and the others nodded, not clamoring to go along. They knew their own limitations and knew that all they could do was cause trouble.

Ji Haobo dismounted, planted his spiked club in the ground, and walked forward with his long sword in hand.

After carefully walking a few dozen meters, he smelled a strong stench of blood wafting from ahead.

This must be caused by a large animal or something that has died to produce such a pungent smell.

When Ji Haobo followed the scent of blood, he was shocked to discover what he found.

A huge black bear lay on the ground, its body mangled, surrounded by scattered pieces of flesh and entrails.

There were also some fallen trees nearby, probably snapped in two by the claws of something, and the claw marks on them were shocking.

Moreover, there were some strange footprints on the ground, but because the ground was messy, as if it had been plowed, only some incomplete traces remained, and it was impossible to tell what had left them.

However, this suggests that the creature that killed the black bear was definitely not small and was extremely brutal.

Because most of the black bear's body tissue was left behind, it was clearly not for hunting, but more like a brutal act of slaughter.

"Brother Bo, what's going on up ahead?"

When the group saw Ji Haobo return with a solemn expression, their hearts skipped a beat, and they became tense and uneasy.

"A black bear weighing several hundred pounds was killed in front of us. Its death was extremely gruesome, and the thing that killed it was absolutely brutal."

Because it didn't look like hunting, it looked more like killing for fun, we must leave this place as soon as possible.

Upon hearing Ji Haobo's explanation, Lao Hu and the others gasped in shock.

Especially after passing by and seeing the scene, his face turned even paler.

Everyone remained vigilant, whipping their horses and trotting forward.

They didn't stop until nearly evening, after traveling dozens of miles. By then, the horses were practically foaming at the mouth.

The group found a spot with relatively sparse trees and prepared to set up camp there.

"Old Hu, you guys set up the tent. We won't be hunting this time. I'll clear the surrounding trees first."

It can be used as firewood, and it also provides better visibility, so you won't be touched by something without realizing it.

Old Hu and the others had no objections. The bloody scene from that afternoon was still vivid in their minds. Who knew if they had escaped the territory of that unknown creature?

As night fell, several people sat on the ground beside a roaring campfire, holding bowls in their hands.

"Brother Bo, what killed that black bear we saw during the day? I don't think a tiger could have done it."

Old Hu rummaged through the food in his bowl, nodding in agreement:

"I think the same thing as Fatty. That black bear probably weighs at least 400 pounds. Under normal circumstances, a tiger wouldn't dare to attack such a big guy."

"Could it be the legendary spirits or savages? Some people outside say they've seen these in this old forest."

Yingzi spoke nervously, moving closer to Ji Haobo.

Although she was quite daring, daring to go hunting in the mountains alone, she always stayed on the outskirts.

In addition, people often hear about wild men and spirits, and what they might do, such as taking women to the mountains to give birth. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

"It's probably not a savage; that's likely just hearsay. But it could be a spirit or monster, though."

Before Ji Haobo awakened his memories, he had never discovered anything strange or unusual in the world.

But ever since awakening his memories and discovering that it's a world fused with ghosts blowing out lamps and grave-digging notes, he knew it wasn't simple.

Especially in the last few days, the things he encountered were beyond the scope of his memories from his previous life. Thinking of this, he took out something and handed it to Yingzi.

"This is a talisman that can protect you from harm from evil spirits for a short time. Yingzi, wear it around your neck."

Looking at the white jade pendant, Yingzi hesitated for a moment, blushed, took it, happily hung it around her neck, and put it inside her clothes.

"Hey! Master Bo, do you have any more amulets? Give me one too, you can't be biased!"

Fatty Wang, seeing this, chuckled strangely.

"You talk too much, bastard. I don't even have any myself, what am I going to give you? Hurry up and eat your food."

Ji Haobo glared at him irritably, then continued to eat his meat heartily while holding his bowl.

Speaking of this amazing pressure cooker, it is indeed an incredible product. Some meats have been cooked in it many times.

Not only did it not melt, but it also absorbed the essence of the ingredients added later, making it taste even better.

After two days of eating nutritious food and having his marrow cleansed and blood regenerated by constant vibrations, Ji Haobo's fractured chest bone had miraculously healed almost completely.

A gentle night breeze rustled the leaves, insects chirped sparsely, and there was no sound of wild animals moving about.

After discovering this situation, even a fool would know there's a problem; it's obvious that something hasn't yet left their territory.

So none of them slept; they just dozed off by the campfire.

As time passed, all the surrounding sounds disappeared, and at the same time, Ji Haobo suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

Moreover, his gaze was undisguised, filled with malice and brutality.

The other three didn't sense anything, but the disappearance of the insect chirping and the sudden bristling of Tiger and the others, staring into the darkness and baring their teeth, naturally woke them up immediately.
