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

Su Hao's expression darkened upon hearing this. It seemed that these people were indeed planning to rob him by force, just as he had expected.

But he didn't speak; instead, he remained silent, pondering a solution.

"Hey kid, I'm asking you a question!"

Seeing that Su Hao remained silent, the other hunters from Bianyan Village also drew their bows and arrows, pointing them at Su Hao and shouting.

This ferocious tiger is quite expensive, costing as much as hunting a large exotic beast!

Not to mention the government's reward, which makes it even more valuable.

Hearing footsteps behind him again, and the taut sound of a bowstring being pulled, Su Hao slowly relaxed his clenched fist.

He took a deep breath and said, "In that case, the tiger is yours. I'm not one to take advantage of others, so I'll be leaving now."

As Su Hao spoke, he stood up and slowly backed away.

"Hehe! Go ahead! Be more careful next time before you do something. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."

Su Hao's sudden compromise surprised the one-eyed man, who chuckled and waved his hand.

He had seen that Su Hao was tall and strong, and that he could hunt tigers all by himself, so he must be a very capable person.

But I didn't expect the other party to compromise so quickly; they really are a complete fool.

His impression of Su Hao changed from admiration to disdain.

The reason this ferocious tiger was hunted down must be because it was poisoned with paralysis when it was surrounded by hunters, which led to its easy death.

Watching Su Hao retreat, leave, and disappear from sight.

The bald man finally grinned and revealed a smug smile.

"Brother Xiong, we've struck it rich this time!"

"I never expected it to be this easy. I thought that kid was some big shot, but he's just a good-for-nothing!"

"I should have just done it; I was given a false alarm."

Five or six hunters nearby put down their bows and arrows and gathered around, laughing.

"Alright! That kid might have some other tricks up his sleeve. He's only doing this because there are more of us. Forcing him to leave is the best course of action, to prevent him from retaliating and causing casualties. Remember, our goal is only money, not murder!"

The one-eyed man, known as Xiong Ge, waved his hand, then pointed to the tiger carcass on the ground and ordered:

"Go and deal with this tiger carcass, and while you're at it, see what trick this kid used to kill it."

The group nodded in agreement and quickly gathered at the location of the tiger's corpse to begin their investigation.

The one-eyed man also stood to the side, took out a pipe, lit it with a flint and smoked, exhaling a large smoke ring.

I got a tiger for free today, and several hundred taels of silver are easily in my hands.

He was in a good mood.

After all, such things don't happen often. Just thinking about the other hunters who are still searching for ferocious tigers in the deep mountains and forests, he couldn't help but smile.

Soon, the tiger's belly was ripped open, revealing three bloody holes in its chest.

"Brother Xiong! Look what this is!"

Upon hearing the shout, the one-eyed man frowned slightly, feeling displeased.

These guys are getting more and more outrageous. They're making a huge fuss over examining a tiger carcass. They've really been living the good life for too long.

He turned around, and one of his men came over with a bloodstained arrow in his hand.

The arrow was made of pure iron, about the thickness of a chopstick, and was jet black and shiny, without any fletching.

"This is... a crossbow!?"

The one-eyed man's pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw the arrow, and he recognized it as a crossbow bolt at a glance, as he had been a hunter for many years and often mingled in the underworld.

not good!

Whoosh!

The one-eyed man sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, a faint whooshing sound came from the forest!

Pfft!

Hot blood splattered onto his face, staining his vision red. An arrow grazed his cheek and embedded itself in the tree trunk behind him!

The man standing in front of him had a bloody hole in the middle of his forehead, his eyes were wide open and bulging, filled with doubt and fear, and his body crashed to the ground!

"careful!!!"

The one-eyed man was terrified and immediately lay down, roaring angrily.

The previous arrow was incredibly powerful; it not only pierced the man's skull but also nearly pierced him through.

A crossbow with such power is undoubtedly a heavy crossbow!

He never expected that the boy from before would possess such a forbidden weapon!

But it was too late. Arrows shot out again from the dense forest, landing on the men who were still examining the tiger's carcass.

Puff puff puff!!

Within moments, three more people collapsed.

The remaining people then realized what was happening, hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows, sought cover among the trees, and scanned their surroundings in fear.

"That kid's location is to the east!"

The one-eyed man rolled several times on the ground, and an arrow landed where he had been standing.

He hid behind a rock, panting and shouting.

After some observation, he had determined the approximate location of the attacker!

"Shoot him!"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly drew their bows and nocked arrows, firing one after another towards the dark thicket to the east.

These are all places where people might hide.

"ah!!"

As the men fired several volleys of arrows, heart-wrenching screams began to emanate from the air.

Upon hearing this, the group stopped what they were doing and poked their heads out from behind their cover.

It seems... it hit?

The group looked at each other, their expressions uncertain.

"No! The sound is coming from behind!"

The one-eyed giant hiding behind the rock glared and roared.

He quickly turned around, and just as he drew back the bowstring, the sound of wind cutting through the air reached his ears again. The black arrow was already close at hand, leaving him no room to dodge.

"don't want!!"

Before the one-eyed man could even feel despair, a black arrow pierced his skull and then, with its remaining force, plunged into the rock behind him, scattering crimson sparks!

Puff puff puff!!

Then came a series of sounds of flesh being pierced, and the entire forest fell into a deathly silence.

A strong, pungent smell of blood began to permeate the air.

Su Hao stood on the high ground, coldly looking at the corpses below that had completely stopped moving, before slowly lowering the heavy crossbow.

He drew his dagger, jumped off the rock, and walked toward the corpses.

Starting with the one-eyed man's corpse, Su Hao finished off the body one cut at a time, taking the opportunity to loot the corpse.

He left behind the money, some animal bait, and healing medicine, but threw everything else, including the corpse, down the ravine.

After doing all this, Su Hao returned to the tiger's corpse, cleaned out the remaining arrows from inside the body, and then dragged the tiger's corpse down the mountain.

It was already noon, and Su Hao dragging the tiger's carcass quickly attracted the attention of other hunters.

After all, many of these hunters train hunting dogs to follow and track their prey.

So, after smelling the tiger's blood, the forest suddenly became lively.

Su Hao ignored the footsteps and barking dogs coming from the forest and continued dragging the tiger carcass down the mountain.

Anyway, it will cause a sensation when we come down the mountain, so this matter can't be kept secret at all.

Unless Su Hao doesn't want the money.

Soon, a number of hunters began to gather around Su Hao, and their greedy gazes also increased.
