125: Chapter 125 The Strange Beast White Wolf

On the other side.

After Chen Hu and his party left the North Gate, they galloped all the way.

It did not take long for them to arrive at Small Mountain Village.

Small Mountain Village was not very large, with only over 100 households and a total population between five and six hundred.

Chen Hu and his group arrived on tall horses, and the villagers consciously dodged out of the way.

Horses were like compact cars in the modern world; for ordinary people, they were luxury items.

They found a villager who pointed out the direction of the village chief's house.

Chen Hu and his party headed straight for the village chief's house.

Upon arriving in front of the village chief's house, Chen Hu and his group dismounted and had Er Niu knock on the door.

"Coming!"

Soon, there was movement inside the courtyard.

The person who opened the door was a young man in his twenties.

Seeing Chen Hu and his party, his expression could not help but become a bit wary: "Who are you, and what do you want?"

"We are from the Prefecture City. We have come to find the village chief to consult with him about some matters!" Chen Hu replied.

"Wait here, I will go ask my father!"

While speaking, the young man closed the courtyard door again.

However, it was not long before the courtyard door opened again. The middle-aged man with dark skin exuded a strong scent of tobacco.

"Everyone, please come in quickly. Just now, it was my son who did not know any better. Please do not hold it against him."

The middle-aged man grinned, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth, and then enthusiastically invited Chen Hu and his party inside.

"How should I address the village chief?" Chen Hu asked.

"My name is Qin Sanshi. May I ask how to address this brave warrior?"

Chen Hu said: "My name is Chen Hu, the Gang Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang."

"So it is Gang Leader Chen, please come in quickly!"

Soon, Chen Hu and his party followed Qin Sanshi into his home and took their seats in the main hall.

Qin Sanshi also ordered his wife to brew some tea and bring it over.

"May I ask what brings Gang Leader Chen to our Small Mountain Village? If there is anything you need my help with, please do not hesitate to ask!" Qin Sanshi said with a fawning tone, but it also carried a hint of probing.

Chen Hu said: "Village Chief Qin, how many hunters does your village have?"

Qin Sanshi said: "There are five hunting families in total, but Zhao Laosi broke his leg a month ago and it still has not healed. The other four families are..."

The other party introduced all the other four hunting families.

The first family consisted of a father and two sons, all of whom were hunters.

The second family consisted of two brothers, the third was an old widower whose wife had died, and the last was a teenager who had just become a hunter not long ago.

Chen Hu took out a five-tael silver ingot and placed it on the table: "Village Chief Qin, please trouble yourself to send someone to check on the hunting families. See if they have gone into the mountains. If any are planning to go, ask them clearly!"

"Alright, Gang Leader Chen, I will go and ask for you myself!"

Qin Sanshi looked at the silver ingot on the table and said.

"Take it!" Chen Hu smiled at him.

"Then many thanks, Gang Leader Chen!" Qin Sanshi reached out, grabbed the silver, and walked out with large strides.

It took only a little over a quarter of an hour for Qin Sanshi to return.

"Gang Leader Chen, I have already found out clearly. The other three hunting families have not gone into the mountains, and they have no plans to go today. Only that kid Qin Feng has gone into the mountains, and he has already been gone for more than half an hour!"

Hearing this, Chen Hu nodded thoughtfully. At the same time, his expression was somewhat playful; the young hunter was even named Qin Feng.

Does he not seem like a protagonist in a novel?

"Where did that Qin Feng go to hunt?" Chen Hu asked again.

Qin Sanshi said: "Our village's hunters usually go to hunt in Little Green Mountain, mainly because Daqing Mountain is too dangerous. Eight years ago, our Linjiang Prefecture had a small-scale drought, and our Small Mountain Village was affected as well."

"So our village organized several hunting teams to go up to Little Green Mountain to hunt, but the game in Little Green Mountain was limited."

"Then someone suggested going to Daqing Mountain to hunt."

"It was immediately opposed on the spot by Qin Wei, that old widower whose wife had died."

"But everyone was living hand to mouth, so who cared about danger or not? Thus, more than thirty people went into Daqing Mountain together. As a result, a day and a night passed, and all thirty-plus people who went in were trapped inside."

"Since then, no one has dared to go to Daqing Mountain again."

"Alright, thank you for informing us, Village Chief Qin. We will take our leave now!"

Chen Hu cupped his fists at Qin Sanshi and left with Ye Fan and the others.

"Boss, could there be an exotic beast inside that Daqing Mountain?" Once they were out of Qin Sanshi's house, Song He could not help but say.

"Who knows? Let's go to Little Green Mountain first!" Chen Hu said casually.

Soon, Chen Hu and his party arrived at the foot of Little Green Mountain.

After designating one Gang member to stay behind and guard the horses, they took the others into Little Green Mountain.

Then, Chen Hu released his Spiritual Sense to probe into Little Green Mountain.

Now, Chen Hu's Spiritual Sense could cover a radius of five thousand meters, and this Little Green Mountain was not very large.

Soon, Chen Hu used his Spiritual Sense to lock onto a teenager who was hunting.

At this moment, the teenager already had some game; a pheasant and a wild rabbit were hanging from his waist.

He was searching for other prey.

As they went deeper, Chen Hu searched the entire Little Green Mountain.

But strangely, he did not find any traces of an exotic beast.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Could this exotic beast have run from Daqing Mountain to Little Green Mountain, and it had not arrived at Little Green Mountain yet?

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Hu felt the possibility was high.

The information provided by the intelligence card stated that the hunter from Small Mountain Village encountered the exotic beast in the morning.

Therefore, the time for that exotic beast to arrive at Small Mountain Village would not be too long.

"Let's go!" Chen Hu waved his hand and led everyone toward the direction of Qin Feng.

In a short while, Chen Hu and his party appeared three hundred meters away from Qin Feng.

"Alright, let's just wait here!"

"Boss, why are we here?" Song He could not help but ask.

"You will know when you wait!" Chen Hu said inscrutably.

Time gradually passed. During this time, Chen Hu kept observing this young hunter with his Spiritual Sense.

The other party's age was between seventeen and eighteen.

His figure was slightly thin, but his appearance was extremely handsome. Moreover, he was not an ordinary person; he was a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Skin Refining.

However, judging from the degree of his skin tempering, the Cultivation Technique he practiced was just substandard.

Either he was not the protagonist.

Or he was a protagonist who had not yet awakened his own System or Golden Finger.

However, Chen Hu felt that was unlikely.

After all, how could a single world have two protagonists who had awakened a System?

Suddenly.

Chen Hu's spirits lifted.

Because he discovered a white wolf, the size of a calf and missing one leg, had arrived at the edge of Little Green Mountain.

"The prey has appeared, follow me!" Chen Hu called out and dashed toward the direction of the white wolf.

Ye Fan and the others immediately followed.

Soon, Chen Hu and his party encountered the white wolf.

Previously, Chen Hu had purchased a "manual of hundred beasts", which recorded hundreds of exotic beasts.

But this white wolf did not belong to any of the exotic beasts in the "manual of hundred beasts".

"Roar!"

When this white wolf saw Chen Hu and his party, not only did it not run away, but it instead pounced and killed toward them.

"Ye Fan, take care of it!" Chen Hu ordered.

"Yes!" Ye Fan flashed, intercepted the white wolf, and raised his hand to punch it out.

"Bang!" The white wolf's massive body was directly blasted more than ten meters away.

Knowing it was no match for the two-legged beasts in front of it, the white wolf climbed up and chose to flee.

"Beast, where are you running!" Ye Fan immediately chased after it.

In a short while, Ye Fan returned carrying the corpse of the white wolf.

"Ye Fan, what rank of exotic beast do you think this white wolf is?" Chen Hu asked.

"It should be Second Rank; its strength at most reached the Meat Refining Stage!" Ye Fan said.

Chen Hu nodded, then looked toward the direction of Daqing Mountain. Combining what Qin Sanshi said, there was only one white wolf exotic beast in Daqing Mountain; could there be other exotic beasts?
