In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

After excluding those areas that cannot be entered at will, only the southern part of Dayanshan Mountain and a river valley that runs through the entire Dayanshan Mountain area remain.

In these areas, there are also more than a dozen red dots marked on the map.

Red dots indicate danger and areas where strange creatures have been spotted.

Three red dots stood out, with the words "high risk" clearly marked on them.

Su Hao lingered his gaze on these places for a moment, memorizing their approximate locations before looking away.

He doesn't plan to take any risks in these places for the time being; he'll consider it once he's thoroughly figured out the ins and outs of the entire Dayanshan area.

The next day, Su Hao and He Dazhong went into the mountains together again.

This time, however, He Dazhong followed other hunter teams, saying that he had discovered a wild boar's nest and wanted to form a group to hunt wild boars.

Su Hao was also somewhat interested in this, so he agreed to go.

However, upon arriving at their destination, they discovered that the wild boar had vanished, and there were traces of blood and signs of a struggle on the ground.

It was obvious that other ferocious beasts had gotten there first.

Disappointed, everyone had no choice but to leave the area where wild beasts might be lurking.

He Dazhong continued to take Su Hao hunting, to another area, to share his experience.

Another day passed quickly.

Day three.

Whoosh!

The black arrow pierced the air, leaving a black line in mid-air, and accurately struck the rabbit hiding in the bushes.

"I won!"

Su Hao was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to pick up the rabbit and check his spoils.

Although the rabbit wasn't worth much money, and Su Hao could eat it whenever he wanted with his wealth, it was still prey he had shot himself. He felt as happy as a fisherman who had been fishing for half a month and suddenly caught a big fish.

Fishermen may not necessarily enjoy eating fish, but they certainly enjoy the process of catching them.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Su is amazing! You've only been learning for two days and you've already made progress. You're much better than me. I spent a whole month going home empty-handed and barely managed to shoot a pheasant, and that was by chance! Haha!"

He Dazhong walked over from behind and said with a smile.

"I just guessed..." Su Hao shook his head with a smile. He picked up the rabbit, examined it, and then put it into his hunting bag.

At the same time, open the panel.

Name: Su Hao

[Qualifications]: 5

[Martial Arts]: Yue Shan Fist Lv3 (20/2000)

Crimson Blood Palm Lv3 (60/2000)

[Skill]: Forging Lv3 (968/2000)

Archery Lv1 (150/500)

"I didn't realize that archery was considered a skill. Why doesn't shooting people with crossbows count?"

Su Hao was puzzled.

Yesterday, when he was patrolling the mountain with He Dazhong, he noticed that Su Hao had never drawn a bow before, so the latter took the initiative to teach him how to shoot arrows.

He originally intended to just play around and see how powerful this wooden bow was.

After all, he already had a powerful crossbow in his backpack, so he naturally looked down on the firepower of the wooden bow.

I never expected that pulling it would change the panel.

This was an unexpected bonus.

"Today is the last day of our cooperation. If you continue to hunt in this area, be careful. I heard that in the area to the south, where we went to the wild boar's den yesterday, a big worm ate people. That whole den of wild boars was probably eaten by the worm."

He Dazhong reminded him in a deep voice.

He only heard the news from his circle after he returned yesterday, saying that several hunters had died.

"A big worm?"

Su Hao was taken aback.

The "big worm" naturally refers to a tiger. Su Hao didn't expect that tigers would appear here after only a few days.

"Aren't there any hunters who specialize in hunting large insects?" Su Hao asked curiously.

Suddenly, I remembered seeing reports of tigers attacking people in my past life. Once a tiger has tasted human blood, it becomes addicted and will frequently attack humans, and may even break into villages to eat people.

Moreover, the beasts in this world are far more ferocious than the tigers in the zoo of my previous life.

Su Hao heard He Dazhong say that ordinary wild wolves weigh three or four hundred pounds, are nearly two meters tall, and are four or five meters long.

Not to mention the tiger, the king of beasts, whose size would only be larger!

Even martial artists could perish if they faced off against each other.

"Yes, there are some, but the mountains are so big, and big insects are cunning and hard to find, so it might not be easy to find them."

He Dazhong shook his head.

He glanced at the gray, misty forest around him and said, "Anyway, be as careful as possible. That thing is too dangerous. Even if you surround and hunt it, it would take several groups of people, along with iron nets and powerful bows, to kill it."

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for reminding me, Brother He!"

Su Hao nodded and thanked him.

Then, the two fell silent again and began to carefully observe the surrounding movements, looking for a target to hunt.

Before we knew it, it was almost dusk.

Su Hao and He Dazhong also arrived at the outskirts of Yanshan, preparing to return to Shilipo.

On this trip, Su Hao hunted down a rabbit and a pheasant.

He Dazhong, on the other hand, acquired a lynx.

Neither of these were particularly significant gains, but neither were they considered a complete failure.

Su Hao returned to Shili Slope and sold his hunted prey to some restaurant purchasers in the city, earning about one or two taels of silver. He then left Shili Slope to prepare to return to the boxing academy.

He has been staying in Shilipo for the past few days and is unsure whether Master Liu has returned to the boxing academy.

Now that he has broken through to the Iron Skin Realm, he needs the special secret medicine Eight Treasures Soup to assist his cultivation. If Master Liu does not return for a long time, his cultivation progress will be delayed.

Although his progress with Crimson Blood Palm was not affected, he was still focusing more on Yue Shan Fist.

With his improved aptitude, his comprehension and physical constitution have also been enhanced, and his own blood and qi are accumulating faster and stronger than before. Breakthroughs in Yue Shan Fist are no longer as difficult as they were at the beginning.

Therefore, while ensuring the breakthrough of Crimson Blood Palm, he also did not want to fall too far behind in the progress of Yue Mountain Fist.

Back in the city, Su Hao first went to his residence in Hongqiao Town to put away his hunting tools before heading to the boxing academy.

To Su Hao's disappointment, Master Liu still hadn't returned.

Su Hao looked at the disciples of the boxing academy who were preparing to leave, greeted a few familiar people, and then walked towards the small courtyard where Master Liu lived in the boxing academy.

The courtyard was deserted at this time. There was only half a cup of tea left on the stone table under the willow tree. It was unclear when it was brewed, as a few fallen leaves and dust floated on it.

Su Hao looked at the tightly closed door, then his gaze fell on the window.

To be precise, it landed in the crack of the window.

After looking around and making sure no one was there, Su Hao stepped forward, took out a piece of paper, and slipped it through the gap.

He figured he would be going into the mountains frequently these days, so just to be on the safe side, he left a letter informing him of his progress in cultivation and telling Master Liu about what he had heard at the Golden Jade Pavilion.

As for what Master Liu will do after he learns of this, that's beyond his control.

After finishing these tasks, Su Hao left the courtyard and prepared to return to his residence.

"Su Hao, what were you doing in Master Liu's courtyard just now?"

Just as Su Hao reached the training ground, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Su Hao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw Tang Huang, dressed in a black training uniform, standing not far behind him, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
