[Ghost Hand Clan Panel]
The Panel has changed. And Xi Chen is currently on his way to Bone Tempering Realm. He has teached Xi Bing and Xi Xuan the combat skills and necessary life advices and life skills to them.
Since the whole family is training martial arts, the meager money they got from blacksmithing can not sustain their day to day life. After both Xi Bing and Xi Xuan started training martial arts, the amount of meat consumption has sky rocketed.
So, the trio has been going hunting in the mountain forest for wild games.
--------
Today is just like every other day, the trio siblings packed up their hunting tools. That includes traps and blades only with bamboo basket. Simce becoming martial artist they do not need to bring that much tool but they still brought it not to rise any suspicions. They do not bring any bow because they do not have the skills to shoot at moving target even though they can shoot.
Green River Town is not surrounded by walls, only some broken bamboo fencing, so they can leave the town any other way. But the inner part of town is usually patrol by town guards.
------
Xi Chen and his younger brothers arrived at the edge of Giant Forest.
They went straight towards their traps, they set it on previous days. But when they reach the area where their traps are put usually, only a bloody trail was all that left. All the traps are broken.
Seeing the blood trail, Xi Chen approaches it and put his finger tips at the blood and smell it. Then his eyes lit up.
"This is an injured beast. Most likely a wild boar that already reached half-step Qi beast. Track it down." Xi Chen instructs his brothers and the trio starts to track the blood trail.
The deeper they went, more the air becomes heavy like something is gathering it.
Xi Chen crouched besides a patch of disturbed soil. "Boar tracks. Recent. We will follow them."
It did not take long for them to find the boar. But when they found it, it was already dead.
"It looks like it died because of excessive blood loss. We are lucky today." Xi Chen examined the body of the wild boar and determined.
Rustling....
As soon as he finished examining the body, the sound of rustling came from a nearby bush.
"Who is it? Come out now" The trio faced the direction of the sound and Xi Bing shout at them.
Two burly man came out of the bush.
The two looked at the trio. And one them went. "It just some Mortal hunters. Tch... I thought we were followed. "
The one in the front said to Xi Chen. "Boy, what are you all doing at this deep part of the forest. Do you not know it's dangerous for mortals at all."
Xi Chen showed a cautious look. "Sir, are you a Martial artist."
"Yes." The man on front narrowed his eyes at Xi Chen's words.
"Sir, it is like this. We found a injured wild boar and track it down here." Xi Chen puts on a flattering smile.
"How do you know its injured." The man questioned.
"It was leaving a heavy blood trail. So we thought it might be seriously injured." Xi Chen replied hurriedly.
Seeing that his boss is talking to the Mortal for so long, the man behind stepped up and talked to his boss in a normal voice. "Boss we must not let them go at all. If words got out that we were here, it will be troubles for use." His voice did not showed any kind of hesitation. He was talking like it was some normal everyday shit for them.
The leader went silent for a moment then nodded. "Let's do that. You kill them quickly and return." Then he left.
Xi Chen and both the boys showed a terrified looks on their faces.
Seeing the terrified faces, the man showed a playful look and approached them without a single thought.
When the man was less than 2 meters away from him.
Shoossss...
Xi Chen stepped forward quickly and grabbed the man's throat with his Red Demon Claw.
The man did not even reacted properly when his throat got caught. Then a terrified look appeared. Seeing that Xi Chen showed a playful smile. Then snapped his neck.
Plop...
The man dropped dead on the will forest.
Xi Bing did not showed any kind of look but Xi Xuan showed a uncomfortable look.
Xi Chen without turning to them. "You should not show any kind of remorseful faces or sadness for this kind of people. You should get use to it." Then he followed the path the earlier man left.
"Come on." He signal to the boys.
When they reached a clearing the man was standing with his back on them.
Hearing the sound of some coming, he turned only to find Xi Chen punching towards his face.
He hurriedly dodged it, but he still got hit on his side face. A bruise and burned mark appeared on the area that got punched.
He put up a fighting stand. "You are a Martial artist too. A Muscle Tempering Realm at that."
Xi Chen did not replied anything. Charged at him with his Red Demon Palm.
The man also did not delay any moment and punched out a fist.
Booomm..boom,,.bam...
Xi Chen and the man exchanged for more than 10 moves without a clear winner.
"What about we leave at this?" The man thinking that Xi Chen must be at his end too, spoke.
"I can not let you leave. We can fight each other equally but how about if we add two more on my side." Xi Chen signal his siblings to join him.
The man, seeing this felt despair. He thought maybe he should not have listened to his lackey in the first place. But he could do anything about it.
When about 30 minutes have passed.
Xi Chen's trio finally killed the man.
Xi Chen sat down on the ground to grasp his breath. "Check him."
Xi Bing and Xi Xuan squatted besides the dead body and checked the body.
"Brother there is a token on his body." Xi Xuan suddenly called out.
