The Immortal World was vast and boundless. To the northwest of the Immortal World, there was an immortal mountain. It was the main peak of an immortal mountain that stretched for trillions of miles. Behind him, a large bird followed. This giant bird had a wingspan of three thousand zhang and a body of azure feathers. Its blue beak was nearly a thousand zhang in length. When the giant white claw opened and closed, space itself was torn apart. Three red feathers extended from its head all the way to its back.

Just as they were about to reach the top of the mountain, a series of explosions could be heard as more than ten thousand different colored lights flew in the air.

The large green bird flapped its wings, and a fierce gale accompanied with a cyan light tore through the air, colliding with the incoming attack. With a loud rumble, a loud and clear cry shook the entire area. A mouthful of blood sprayed out from the large green bird's mouth. A rain of blood rained down from the sky.

"Blue Luan!" The middle-aged man stopped and turned around to shout.

"Let's go!" I can only block two more attacks from them! " The Green Luan spoke in human language and urged.

"We're almost there. With your speed, you'll definitely be able to escape. I'll stop them!"

The Blue Luan shouted, "If you don't leave now, we will all die here. I will protect your Mu Rong family for a million years. Don't tell me that all of our efforts ended in failure!" The gigantic bird raised its head high, and two rays of green light suddenly shot out from its dull eyes. As it stared at the crowd in the distance, a domineering aura emanated from its body, completely displaying the demeanor of a divine beast!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another ten thousand rays of light attacked. The Blue Luan flapped its wings with all of its might, once again clashing against the enemy's attack. Countless drops of blood fell from the sky, mixed with some internal organs.

The white-robed middle-aged man gritted his teeth and turned to flee. At the top of the mountain, it was pitch black. Moments later, the middle-aged man approached and turned around to look. He saw that the Blue Luan had been annihilated by various rays of light.

"Murong, take good care of my child!" A cry resounded in his ears as the white-robed middle-aged raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. Just as he turned around, a golden seal materialized in the air and suddenly smashed into his back.

"Pfft!" Murong spat out a mouthful of blood and his body plunged into the darkness.

Over a thousand people rushed over and looked at the continuously squirming darkness. However, no one dared to enter. After a moment of silence, a pale-faced old man stepped out. A poisonous glow flashed in his slender eyes like a poisonous snake, and he said in a cold voice, "Hmph! You can't run away! The Immortal-Immersion Jade Pendant will fall into my hands! " As the sound of his voice faded, he stepped into the pitch-black darkness.

"..."

There were white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the hills under the sky were lush and verdant. The green makeup of the early summer morning lit up the entire world. At the foot of the mountain, more than twenty small courtyards had formed a small mountain village. The lotus blossoms in the pond at the head of the village were in full bloom, and the willow branches beside the pond were swaying in the wind. Smoke curled up in the yard of a few families who had risen early in the morning. It was a quiet, peaceful scene.

"Creak!" The sound of the door opening could be heard from one of the courtyards in the village. Unlike the earthen and earthen tiles of other courtyards, this one had green brick walls made of glazed tiles, and a vermilion door with brass nails. It was clearly a well-to-do family.

Li Yun, who was only eight years old, appeared from the door. His delicate and pretty face carried a trace of caution. His eyes that were clear as a spring of black and white were filled with vigilance. Carefully looking left and right, he quickly ran towards the hill behind the village.

"Young Master, wait for me!" A delicate voice rang out from the courtyard as a five to six-year-old girl with jade-like makeup on her face ran out. On her rosy cheeks, the two strands of hair that hung by her ears floated backwards. As she ran, her mouth opened slightly in a scarlet red hiss.

He turned around and made a silent hand gesture, then said softly, "Quiet down, Star Seizer, if Uncle Cheng hears it, it will be very bad. Don't worry, I will definitely win the bird back for you, quickly go back, don't let Uncle Cheng find you!"

Star Seizer stopped in front of Li Yun, pouted, and looked at Li Yun with a wronged expression, saying in a low voice, "But, do you want me to go with you!?" The young master always brings a servant when he goes out. Say more … Besides, the young master isn't home. If Uncle Cheng asks, what should I do … " His voice became softer and softer, the moisture in his misty eyes gradually increased, and his tears seemed as if they would fall at any moment.

Li Yun's heart ached. While wiping away Star Seizer's tears, he hurriedly explained, "Star Seizer, don't cry. Listen to me, it's because we're together every day that your Uncle Cheng won't suspect us. If Uncle Cheng asks, just say that I'm studying in my room. Moreover, Young Master is going to fight. If you follow me, I won't be able to let go. " "Li Yun coaxed Star Seizer as he glanced at the entrance of his house." The young master shall promise you that no matter where you go in the future, you will always be brought along.

"Then you have to be careful. If you can't beat him, then quickly run back. At worst, I'll just give up on the bird." Star Seizer wiped his eyes and said with some worry.

"You don't even know what the Young Master is capable of?" As he spoke, he pushed the reluctant Zhai Xing back into the courtyard, turned around, and ran away.

The short mountain behind the village was called Cui Ping. As the name implied, this short mountain was like a green screen, blocking the village at the foot of the mountain.

Li Yun's speed was very fast, and before long he had arrived at an open space halfway up the mountain. Currently, more than ten children were gathered in the empty space. Some were around the age of twelve, while others were around seven or eight years old. They were currently making a ruckus.

"Brother Gouzi, why hasn't the young master of the Li family arrived yet?"

"Is there even a need to ask!? Of course, I'm afraid of Big Brother Daniu, so I don't dare to come! "

"But my dad said that Young Master Li's kung fu is very high, so why would he be afraid of Big Brother Daniu?"

With a single sentence, the scene became extremely chaotic. Although these children were all of a lethargic age, due to the attraction of something interesting, they all seemed to be brimming with energy.

"Look, Young Master Li is here!" It was unknown who shouted, but the dozen or so children immediately went silent. The scene immediately became silent.

When they saw Li Yun arrive, the tallest person in the crowd came up to him and said, "Li Yun, you've only just arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time!" The boy who spoke was about thirteen years old, a head taller than Li Yun, with very dark skin and a simple and honest face.

Li Yun stared at Wang Lin and said, "Stop with the crap. Da Niu, return the bird that stole my star!"

Da Niu smiled, revealing a trace of cunning on his honest face. "Hehe, Young Master Li, you're so unreasonable. I was the one who caught him. How did he become your family's Star Seizer?"

"We found that injured bird first."

"Who can prove that you discovered it first? With so many of my companions behind me, you can prove that I caught it first." Is it a dog? " After Da Niu finished speaking, he turned around and asked with a proud expression.

"That's right, Da Niu caught them first. We can prove it." A teenage boy answered.

As soon as his voice fell, the children began to clamor, "That's right, we can all prove that it was Da Niu who caught them first."

"You're lying!" Li Yun was so angry that his face flushed.

"If I am lying, don't tell me that so many of us are lying?" As Da Niu spoke, the craftiness on his face disappeared and the honest look on his face became even stronger.

After all, Li Yun was only an eight-year-old child. Although he was born into a large family and had talent and intelligence, he had not interacted much with the outside world. In terms of scheming, he couldn't compare with a thirteen year old Da Niu.

"Even if you catch him first, so what? We agreed yesterday that if I win today, the bird will be mine." Li Yun was unwilling to be outdone.

"Hehe, Young Master Li, I am talking about the competition, not the martial competition."

Li Yun was stunned, "Isn't a competition a martial arts competition?"

Who told you that it was a martial arts competition? In the entire Tsui Ping Village, who didn't know that you, Li Yun, were extremely talented and had amazing perception, reaching the peak of the Skin Training stage at the age of eight, and halfway into the Bone Forging stage. "I want to compete with you in hunting. Our village has hunted for generations, and whoever catches the prey first will win. Moreover, we will have to go to the mountains behind the Green Pao Mountain to hunt."

Li Yun finally understood. "So I was tricked by Da Niu. I'm so stupid, how come I didn't notice anything wrong with his words?" I've never hunted before. Besides, if it takes too long, I will be discovered by Uncle Cheng. I don't mind that, but Star Seizer will definitely be punished. "If I don't go, the little bird that picks the star will die …"

Seeing Li Yun so speechless and embarrassed, Da Niu added fuel to the fire, "What, you don't dare? Then forget it. Your young master Li is only so-so. Let's go, dog, and roast bird." With that, he laughed and turned to leave.

Li Yun suddenly took a step forward and said in an anxious voice, "Wait a minute, who said I don't dare to, let's compete then, am I afraid of you?!" Even adults sometimes can't stand it, let alone eight-year-olds.

Da Niu turned around and revealed a look of joy after his plan succeeded. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll say it, how can Li Yun be scared of this? Since that's the case, I'll make it clear that no matter who wins today, I'll give this bird to you. But if you lose, I want your cold dagger."

Li Yun pondered for a moment, then he took out a snakeskin dagger. He said, "This dagger is a birthday present from Uncle Cheng. It is my beloved item … But since I have agreed to compete with you, I will not go back on my words. Let's see what abilities you have to win against this cold blade dagger! " As he spoke, he pulled out his right hand. A cold spring emerged from the sheath, reflecting the rays of the sun. A stream of blood flowed from the tip of the blade to the bottom.

Da Niu's eyes widened. His eyes seemed as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets. Everyone could see the anticipation within them. It wasn't until Li Yun put the dagger back into its sheath that Da Niu reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"It's a deal!"

"There is no turning back!"

After the two of them said this, they clasped their hands and ran towards the continuous mountain range behind Green Pingshan at the same time.

"Brother Gou Zi, who do you think will win?" a seven or eight year old child asked.

Doggie replied, "Of course it's Big Brother Da Niu. A month ago, Big Brother Da Niu started hunting in the mountains with his dad. Don't forget, Da Niu's father is the number one hunter in our village. And Big Brother Daniu already set a trap in the mountain last night. Do you think Li Yun can win? "

"Ah!" Wasn't Big Brother Daniu cheating!? " The boy looked surprised.

"Shh!" Keep it down, we're with Big Brother Daniu. "

"Oh! But would they encounter ferocious beasts? Listen to my mother! She said that there were demon beasts in the mountain! "

Dogman's face was filled with impatience as he said, "The mountain is vast and endless, it is unknown how many thousands of miles they have to travel, they are only going to the edge, there is no possibility of meeting any ferocious beasts. Didn't our village's hunters go hunting for wild beasts for a month? "That's just a legend, no one in our village has ever met such a person."

"Oh! "Then …"

While Gouzi and Iron Egg were chattering away, Li Yun and Da Niu had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"After we enter the mountain, we will part ways. Two hours later, we will return to this place. Whoever catches the prey wins. If we catch both of them, then whoever returns first wins." With that, Da Niu pointed forward, "Don't say I'm taking advantage of you. From here on up the mountain, there will be a grassy field with a slope of about seven to eight miles. If you go any further, you won't be able to go any further. With that, he took the lead and ran up the mountain.

Li Yun followed closely behind as he thought to himself, "Although this Da Niu set me up for the Cold Light Dagger, he's still fair and square."

After climbing up the mountain, the two of them split up from left to right.

As Li Yun walked, he thought to himself, "With my martial arts skills, I'll definitely be able to catch some prey before Da Niu."

However, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed, Li Yun noticed that it wasn't like what Da Niu said. Wild hens were everywhere, and when he looked around, he could only see grass and grass.

He couldn't help but feel anger rise in his heart and curse in his heart, "Da Niu!" [You actually lied to me. You will win in a moment. I won't give you a cold dagger …] And get the bird back. " Even though Zhang Xuan was furious, he didn't give up. He continued to look around carefully.

Right at this moment, a shout suddenly sounded, "Li Yun, run!"

Li Yun turned around and saw Da Niu, who had just been separated, running towards him. Frowning, Li Yun thought in his heart, "This fellow just lied to me, is he still coming to watch me make a joke?" Seeing how panicked he looked … It doesn't look like it! "

Suddenly, Li Yun's pupils constricted. He saw that there was a mastiff chasing after Da Niu. Li Yun had seen Green Wolf quite a few times. The village's hunters had often hunted them down, but compared to those Green Wolves, this one was at least twice the size of an ordinary Green Wolf.

Seeing the Green Wolf, whose eyes were emitting a green light and drooling in its mouth, rushing towards him, Li Yun was completely dumbfounded. His mind was filled with fear, his hands and feet were stiff, and the terrifying face of the Green Wolf in his eyes that was revealing its fangs kept enlarging.

While Li Yun was stunned, Da Niu had already arrived in front of him. He grabbed him and shouted, "Run, don't be in a daze!"

Li Yun seemed to have awoken from a dream and came back to his senses. Although his heart was still filled with fear and his limbs were still stiff, he could still run around.

Da Niu pulled Li Yun and ran without looking back. After an unknown period of time, they felt that there were no longer any movements behind them. Only then did the two of them turn around and discover that there was no trace of Green Wolf. The two of them sat down on the ground in one sitting. At this moment, Li Yun's legs, which were already weak, could not even lift up.

After a while, Li Yun breathed heavily and said to Da Niu, "Thank you, Da Niu! You are so powerful, you are not afraid at all, I was so scared that I could not move, if not for you pulling me, I would have been eaten by wolves. "

"It's nothing. A month ago, my father and I went hunting in the mountains. We even personally killed a severely injured Green Wolf! Don't just look at this Green Wolf, I found some blood on its body and its forelegs were slightly bent. It must be injured and unable to catch up to us! " Da Niu said proudly.

"Didn't you say that there are no ferocious beasts here? How did you find it? Also, the hare and pheasants that you said were everywhere, I didn't see a single one. "

"The hare and pheasant were obviously scared into hiding by this mastiff, this wolf is so big, I think it must be a wolf king. It lost in the fight for the throne and was kicked out of the pack, it was injured and couldn't even catch up with us, let alone other wild beasts, so it had no choice but to run to the edge of the mountain to find some small animals to eat. When I saw it, it was eating the wild rabbit in my trap!" "Ugh …" Da Niu used his hand to cover his mouth, but it was already too late. He thought to himself, "I'm finished. I've gone overboard with my show."

"" Sure enough, Li Yun suddenly jumped up, and the aching sensation in his leg instantly disappeared. " "Alright, I was wondering why you want to compete with me in hunting. So you were cheating!"

Da Niu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry, I'll be 14 years old next month. I want to officially join the hunter squad. I don't want the dagger, but you must not tell my dad about this. "

Li Yun pondered for a bit. He looked at Da Niu's bitter face and laughed. "Haha, Da Niu, you have a time to beg me too. I've decided!"

Da Niu said with a bitter face, "What exactly do you want? I'll send the bird over to you when we get back.

"I've decided. On the first of next month, during your ceremony to join the Hunters … I will personally gift you the dagger! "

In fact, Li Yun saw that Da Niu would rather stay in danger than go down the mountain to warn him. His anger towards Da Niu had already disappeared. All that was left was recognition and gratitude. Although Li Yun and Da Niu had always been opposing sides, that was because they were in two different classes. It was very difficult for the children of ordinary families and rich families to play together; after all, there was a difference in their environment and education. However, no matter what, this was still a child's play. It was possible for them to scheme for a small gain and fight for face. Once they encountered a life or death situation, the pure and kind nature of the villagers would be fully displayed.

Da Niu suddenly jumped up and threw Li Yun onto the ground. He hugged him and rolled on the ground, "Good, young master Li. You almost scared me to death. But I really have to thank you. Hahahaha …"

None of them realized that not far behind them, a pair of ice-cold eyes were staring straight at them!
