Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

“Giddy up!”

Tang Wen rode Uzhui, like a black lightning bolt, straight towards the hunting team's camp.

“Whoa!”

Just as he started, he suddenly called to stop.

Behind this group attacking the hunting camp, there were more people.

Tang Wen's heart skipped a beat: such a small camp, deploying so many people, the enemy is determined!

But what's the point of attacking the hunting camp?

Before figuring out the strength of this group, he didn't want to rush over.

But then, something even more shocking happened.

Swish!

The hunting team shot a volley of arrows.

The attackers blocked them one after another, and after deflecting the arrows, they actually raised their weapons high above their heads.

While shouting something, they made a gesture of surrender!

Tang Wen and the hunting team were stunned.

The hunting team was very cautious, suspecting a trick, and did not open the gate.

The attackers went even further, throwing away the weapons in their hands and standing at the gate, refusing to leave.

Tang Wen urged his horse forward.

On the stone wall, Captain Liu looked dumbfounded: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"We have been defeated and are your prisoners. Your Flame Camp should accept us."

Captain Liu: ???

Tang Wen, who arrived on horseback: I suspect you guys are here to be prisoners!

“Da da da!”

Seeing Tang Wen approaching, Captain Liu jumped down from the stone wall and asked, laughing and crying, "Commander Tang Wen, what do you think we should do? I have already asked the camp for help, but this?"

Captain Liu, who was in his twenties or thirties, was also encountering this kind of thing for the first time.

Someone came to be a prisoner.

Tang Wen didn't want to interfere. He pointed to the distance: "There's another group of people hiding there, probably with these prisoners. I thought they were an ambush, but after a closer look, they should be their family members."

Seeing the two of them discussing here, an old man and two middle-aged men from the "prisoners" walked over.

They shouted that they were willing to submit, be prisoners, and join the Flame Camp.

Tang Wen smiled: "Tell me, which village are you from? Looking at you strong and healthy people, you shouldn't be unable to survive, right?"

The three didn't argue. They exchanged glances, then knelt on one knee and pressed their right fist to their left chest.

They made some kind of submission gesture.

The old man said, "Strange beasts attacked us and occupied our village. The Black Mountain Camp is slaughtering villages everywhere. We have been discovered by them, and after the deaths of hundreds of our clansmen, we came here. We really have no way out! We beg you two adults to take us in, just asking for a bite to eat."

"Get up and talk first! I'm not in charge, so it's useless to tell me."

After Tang Wen finished speaking, Captain Liu pulled the three up.

Tang Wen asked with interest, "What kind of strange beast attacked your village?"

Looking at the number of people in their village, it should be a large village of nearly a thousand people.

Maybe there are even martial master-level experts.

What kind of strange beast group could force them to leave?

The old man dejectedly spat out three words: "Tyrant Bear."

There wasn't even a trace of hatred in his voice. Obviously, facing this kind of extraordinary magical beast, he didn't even dare to think about revenge.

Tang Wen was silent.

He dispelled the thought of going hunting—no, of going to deliver snacks.

He had witnessed the terror of the Tyrant Bear. If it hadn't been for Commander Zhao, a peak martial master, desperately leading it away,

the Flame Camp would have suffered heavy losses.

The old man continued, "In addition to farming, our village also grows jujube trees and raises bees. Maybe the honey attracted that bear."

Captain Liu asked, "Didn't you try to negotiate with it? As long as you offer it honey, maybe it will protect you."

People in this world are not invincible, and they may not even be considered strong.

There are many examples of humans and strange beasts coexisting.

Strange beasts protect humans with their powerful combat power.

Humans work and provide strange beasts with necessities such as "salt and minerals."

The two sides live in symbiosis.

Of course, this relationship is often very fragile.

Because humans are originally on the menu of powerful strange beast populations.

Usually it's okay, but when disaster strikes, if the strange beasts are not full, people may directly turn from collaborators into delicacies.

The old man was silent for a long time: "Our millet seedlings are sick, black death. They are withering piece by piece. There are already many martial artists in the village, but there is very little stored grain. Honey is the goods we exchange for grain..."

Captain Liu didn't know what to say, so he cursed, "What a world!"

After a while.

A large group of troops "rumbled" from the direction of the camp, with as many as several hundred people.

The leader was General Zhao.

Tang Wen was relieved and signaled Captain Liu to take the three forward to greet them.

As for himself, of course, he took a detour home.

He didn't have the time to deal with this kind of thing.

"Lord Tang Wen! Your mount is so handsome!"

"What a beautiful black horse!"

"Commander Tang Wen, is that strange beast you're riding?"

At the inner city gate, the guards greeted Tang Wen one after another.

But their eyes were fixed on Tang Wen's mount, their eyes shining.

This world doesn't have sports cars, off-road vehicles, or heavy motorcycles, but it has all kinds of strange beasts.

The length of time a man loves a mount is basically the same as the age of having "Cao Cao Syndrome."

When Tang Wen was a child, when he was jumping around in the fields, he had the experience of patting his butt and shouting "Giddy up, giddy up."

He deliberately stopped and chatted with the guards for a few words before riding his horse through the street.

Passers-by gave way one after another, looking at the handsome strange beast black horse, full of envy, longing, and even infatuation.

"Is that Lord Tang Wen?"

"What a young commander."

"Yes, he's said to be a martial arts genius!"

“…”

Passersby praised one after another.

Tang Wen turned his horse into another street.

On the side of the road were two rows of red houses.

Some lightly dressed older sisters at the door, with bare white legs, looked at Tang Wen and giggled.

Perhaps recognizing his identity, no one blocked the way.

Making Tang Wen feel a little regretful.

Not enthusiastic at all.

Suddenly, a slightly familiar face appeared on the side of the road.

"Lord Commander Tang Wen has returned from hunting, you must be tired, come in and rest!"

The women were all surprised.

Although they all wanted to invite Tang Wen to play, he was, after all, a commander, and they didn't dare.

"It's that slut Liu Niang!"

"How dare she? What audacity!"

"Hmph! Isn't she just greedy for Commander Tang Wen's body."

"Sister, aren't you greedy?"

"Bah! Sister, I love his talent more."

A group of women laughed and giggled.

After Liu Niang finished speaking, she bowed gracefully, revealing her snow-white and rosy spring scenery.

Her eyes were even more bold and fiery.

It seemed that if it weren't for the people on the street,

she would have done something or other.

Tang Wen looked away: "Next time."

"Sir, which next time is next time?"

Seeing that she wanted to take an inch, Tang Wen quickly urged his horse forward: "You'll know when the time comes."

Liu Niang shouted grievously from behind: "Don't let this servant wait too long!"

Tang Wen squeezed the horse, next time he should come back late at night.

Also, in the future, he should try to avoid this road as much as possible.

How can women mess with my martial arts heart?

I must become extraordinary as soon as possible!

I won't rest tonight.

I'll continue to go to the wilderness.

Arriving home, Tang Wen routinely took a bath first.

The three girls, Xiao Liu, Tao Hua, and Cui Lian, took his clothes to wash with Xiao Taozi.

It was clearly a job that one person could finish, but the three girls insisted on doing it together.

Underwear, socks, boots to coat, leather wind, a total of 7 pieces.

Tao Hua was quick and grabbed three pieces, smiling happily.

Xiao Liu was sullen: "Sister Tao Hua is so cunning, you washed one more last time."

Cui Lian nodded in agreement: "Yes, sister Tao Hua, this time it should be divided between the two of us."

Tao Hua quickly restrained her smile and picked up the wooden basin and walked away: "Wash quickly, wash quickly, after washing, we can practice martial arts! Becoming a martial artist as soon as possible is the most important thing!"

"Only you can talk."

Recently, Tang Tang's medicinal bath water has also been distributed to the three girls.

The three have gained a lot of strength.

Whether it's daily housework or the work of growing vegetables in the yard next door, it's easier to do.

On weekdays, they can free up more time to learn the exercises that Tang Wen taught them.

Tang Tang also likes to be a teacher, and every day after returning from the martial arts hall, she will give them some pointers.

Of course, the prerequisite is after selling the roujiamo.

In the evening, Tang Wen went to the wilderness again.

The days passed back and forth.

Tang Wen's various skills slowly increased in each steady tempering.

More than a month later, the weather became warmer.

The harvest day was approaching.

The millet in the field was scorched yellow.

After the farmers harvested, threshed, and bagged, they weighed it and found that it was less than 30% of previous years.

The camp confiscated half.

Leaving half to the farmers who farmed.

The proportion left to them was higher than in previous years, but the amount of grain was actually half less.

The situation was critical. How much surplus grain did the people in the outer city have at home?

What was even more critical was how to plant the next season?

Tang Wen passed by the fields, the land was dry, the ground was cracked, and cracks were opened.

A ladle of water was poured down, and it was instantly drunk dry by the ground.

The heavens did not drop a drop of rain.

This was forcing people to death!

Farmers, women, and children knelt on the side of the road and cried.

Tang Wen passed by in a hurry, he was powerless.

This day, after more than a month of struggle, Tang Wen finally filled the top layer of the ice cellar in the yard.

After he finished his work, he took a roujiamo from Xiao Liu.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Commander Tang Wen here? If so, please go to the General's Mansion for a meeting!"

Tang Wen, who had a few months of leisure, agreed.

He had long expected that with the arrival of the drought, sudden situations would increase sharply, and there would inevitably be a shortage of manpower. As a mid-to-high-end combat force, it was impossible for him to be idle all the time.

General's Mansion.

When Tang Wen stepped into the council hall.

General Zhao was issuing a series of orders: "First, tell the people in the outer city that all rents will be waived from today, so that they can live in peace. When the grain is harvested, then collect the rent!"

"Second, tell them not to go to the lake to fetch water, don't go if you don't want to die!"

"Third, the camp will conscript them to work soon, with food provided..."

At this time, General Zhou came in from outside, patted Tang Wen on the shoulder, and without any nonsense, directly said: "There are things happening everywhere now, I need you to take a caravan to Five Families City."

"Me going?"

"Qian Sanduo will go with you. The road is becoming more and more unsafe, one more martial master, one more layer of protection."
