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

The banquet lasted until late into the evening before gradually coming to an end.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhengtang was already quite drunk and was being helped to the bridal chamber by a maid.

Su Hao glanced helplessly at the crowd that was beginning to disperse.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Throughout the banquet, I and Zhou Zhengtang drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Fortunately, this body has a good ability to detoxify alcohol, and because of the iron mirror's vigorous blood circulation, apart from feeling a little dizzy, he did not feel any discomfort.

He just didn't expect Zhou Zhengtang to be such a good drinker. Although he was drunk, the whole thing was quite nerve-wracking for him.

Because the people here seem to drink from... basins?

Shaking his head, Su Hao bid farewell to the other elders of the Zhou family and then left the Zhou residence.

At this point, Su Hao and his group were among the last guests to leave, and Master Liu and the others had already returned to the Hongqiao Town Boxing Academy.

"Looks like I'll have to go find Brother He and the others tomorrow and ask them to take me to the place where the centaur bear was said to have been spotted."

Su Hao was walking home, thinking about this matter.

Now that Zhou Zhengtang's wedding day has passed, he has no other plans.

As for the rice business, for some unknown reason, the refined iron materials were not delivered to the shops.

Therefore, the blacksmith's business had to be temporarily suspended.

Fortunately, he had just hunted a ferocious tiger two days ago and obtained a considerable sum of money. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to make ends meet with the monthly salary from the Zhou family, which was required for Iron Mirror's cultivation.

"It really does cost money everywhere..."

Su Hao thought about how each of his martial arts training expenses was at least a dozen taels of silver.

I couldn't help but get a headache.

So he also planned to see if this plan to hunt alien beasts would work. If it didn't work, he might really have to find a way to take up a position in more forces to make money.

Moreover, with his current level of cultivation, Iron Mirror, the fees and rewards for affiliation would not be small, but he would have much less free time.

the next day.

Su Hao got up early. He first packed the things he needed for hunting into a cloth bag, and then went to the shops on Blackwater Street.

After waiting for a while, he found that the rice gang members still hadn't appeared and no customers had come in. He stopped waiting, left a note at the door indicating that he was leaving the city, and then carried his cloth bag to Shili Slope.

I plan to go and check on the so-called human-faced bear today.

Su Hao even went to the Golden Jade Pavilion to inquire about this kind of strange beast, the Human-Faced Bear.

The human-faced bear is a dangerous mythical beast, known for its violent temper, cunning nature, and immense threat to humans. Moreover, its flesh and blood are rich in vital energy.

Especially the bear paw, which is not only tender and soft, but also contains some special energy that has miraculous effects on those who practice palm techniques.

Therefore, among the bears with human faces, only their two paws are the most precious.

Moreover, a pair of bear paws costs as much as three hundred taels of silver in the Golden Jade Pavilion!

Most importantly, this thing is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Su Hao himself cultivated the Crimson Blood Palm and the Yue Mountain Fist.

Most of the skills are in one's hands, so if one can hunt a human-faced bear, the bear paws can be kept for personal cultivation, while the other bear meat can be sold to earn more money to buy medicinal herbs and supplements.

Of course, this is just the best plan in Su Hao's mind. As for whether it will work in the future, we'll have to try.

About 15 minutes.

Su Hao returned to his residence in Shilipo.

After packing up all the things needed for the hunt, he stuffed the heavy crossbow into his backpack, slung a heavy bow made of rosewood over his shoulder, and then headed out to He Dazhong's place.

I've checked the map before regarding the location where the centaur bear was spotted, but because the map is too rough, there's still no accurate information.

All I knew was that if I went down the river valley and passed the waterfall, that would be my destination.

However, the valley is not accessible by just one road; there are branches after the main road, and it is difficult to reach the destination in one trip without a guide.

Su Hao didn't want to waste time, since going into the mountains was not easy. He simply arranged to find He Dazhong and see if he could form a hunting team so that they wouldn't go the wrong way.

We arrived at He Dazhong's residence, in front of a simple wooden house.

Su Hao knocked on the door.

Hearing footsteps approaching, he took a small step back.

Squeak!

The wooden door opened, and He Dazhong poked his head out.

"Brother Su... Brother Su? You're here!?"

His face was flushed, and he was shirtless, revealing his muscular chest.

However, there were still two rows of clearly visible teeth marks on his pectoral muscles.

Su Hao immediately understood what was going on, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

"I'll avoid this for a bit..." Su Hao shook his head.

Then he turned and left, walking towards the entrance of the alley.

He Dazhong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then turned around and said a few words. Soon, a woman dressed provocatively and wearing heavy makeup walked out of the courtyard and disappeared around the corner.

These hunters may face life-or-death battles every day, so they also need to release their mental stress.

The most direct and simple way to relieve stress is naturally to find an outlet.

Fortunately, not many people knew about it this time. Although these kinds of things are common in Shilipo, it still affected his reputation...

"Brother He, you're so busy at midday..."

Just as He Dazhong was thinking that no one had seen what had happened, Su Hao's voice suddenly came from a corner on the right.

He Dazhong's eyelids twitched, and he quickly turned around to look.

Then they saw Su Hao walking over from another direction at some point.

However, considering Su Hao's strength, he put aside his thoughts and said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Su, that person was my distant cousin. She fled here with refugees and is living in poverty, so I couldn't bear to see her suffer and let her stay overnight..."

"This guy..." He Dazhong's words left Su Hao speechless for a moment.

How come I've never heard of this guy having a cousin before?

Su Hao shook his head, somewhat amused, and then said, "Yeah! I believe you!"

"Ha...ha! Brother Su is indeed straightforward. However, my cousin is afraid of meeting strangers, so please don't spread this around after you leave..."

Although He Dazhong was unsure whether Su Hao truly understood or was pretending, he still gave him further instructions.

"Don't worry, I don't have time to spread this news right now..." Su Hao shook his head and smiled, then took out a map. "Regarding the Centaur Bear I asked about last time, I plan to go and take a look. Brother He, would you be interested in coming along? We can organize a small team."

"Centaur Bear?" He Dazhong was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Su Hao came to see him about this matter.

However, thinking back to Su Hao's solo tiger hunt, he felt a surge of excitement within him.

With Su Hao's strength, he is fully capable of leading a team deep into Yanshan to hunt down strange beasts.

The reason they hadn't hunted many exotic beasts before was twofold: firstly, exotic beasts were hard to find, and secondly, they needed sufficient strength to do so, otherwise it would be suicide.
