C742 Mission
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They hugged each other tightly. At this moment, the relationship between the two of them had officially risen to that of brothers.
Meng Ba whispered into Sui Guan's ear. "younger brother, it's about time. It was not easy to get wine. It was going to be winter soon, and there was no extra food to brew it. Let's drink sparingly! "
Sui Guan nodded and said," bro, to be honest, I can't drink much anymore. After all, I need to keep some of my belly to taste the delicious Zephyr meat! "
Meng Ba laughed heartily and pulled Sui Guan along. They came to the bonfire and tore off the most fat piece of meat. He handed it to Sui Guan and said, "younger brother, excellent hunters are qualified to enjoy this piece of good meat!"
He took the piece of roasted Zephyr's calf that had a fragrant smell. After he took it, Sui Guan split it into two and gave one to Meng Ba. "bro, brothers share the same heart. The benefits break the gold!"
Meng Ba looked at Sui Guan with a touched expression. "younger brother, you said it too well!"
The villagers looked at the two people who were dividing the meat and became happy.
"Okay!"
"Sui Guan, Meng Ba, good job!"
"With you and Old Village Head in Big Tree Village, we will definitely be able to prosper in the future!"
...
When Old Village Head saw this, he laughed heartily. His heart was filled with anticipation towards this outsider, Sui Guan.
Not only was he looking forward to Sui Guan's future contribution to the village, he was also looking forward to whether Sui Guan would be able to do what he said in the future. If he could witness that day with his own eyes, he would die without any regrets!
If he didn't persist until that day arrived, then he would have to send his ashes to his homeland. Although he didn't take a good look at the mountains and rivers in his dream before he died, he hoped that he would be buried in the mountains and rivers after he died!
"Everyone, quiet down. There's still one more thing to announce!" Old Village Head pressed his hand down.
The villagers were all extremely respectful. Following the gesture of the village chief, the noisy crowd quickly quieted down. All of them looked at the village chief with full attention, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing this, Old Village Head nodded, "Our village's hunter Meng Ba has passed the test. He has now officially advanced to the second grade. He can enter the Ancestral Land to cultivate for fifteen minutes every day!"
"Chief, Meng Ba, chief, Meng Ba!"
The villagers shouted their names at the same time.
The village chief stretched out an arm and everyone immediately quieted down.
"Tomorrow, I will issue a mission for the third hunter in our village, as a test for him to advance to the third rank!"
The village chief looked at Sui Guan after he finished speaking. Everyone followed the village chief's gaze and looked at Sui Guan.
"Village chief, please issue a mission!" Sui Guan said respectfully.
"One Elephant Lion!" The village chief smiled.
The crowd that was initially whispering suddenly became silent. It was as if everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard the village chief announcing a mission!
When Meng Ba heard the word 'Elephant Lion', he was also stunned for a moment.
He knew how terrifying these beasts were. They were not weaker than Devil Bears, and they lived in groups. They rarely left the village alone, which greatly increased the difficulty of the mission. Even he, a level 2 hunter, could not complete the mission!
With this thought in mind, Meng Ba asked, puzzled. "Chief, this..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the chief with a stern look. Meng Ba quickly shut his mouth, but his eyes seemed to be questioning the chief.
"Village chief, this kid will definitely complete the mission!" Sui Guan said confidently.
Although he already knew from the expressions of the villagers and Meng Ba that ferocious beasts like the Elephant Lion were not easy to deal with, the chief must have his own purpose for doing so.
"Very good. Disciple Meng Ba, pour a cup of wine for me. For Sui Guan, let's drink together today!"
After saying that, the village chief lifted the cup and let Meng Ba fill it up.
Everyone looked at the village chief in surprise. This was because ever since the village chief came back from a few decades ago, he had never drunk before. Today, he suddenly had such an interest.
However, how could the village chief let these people guess so easily? One by one, the scholar village chief raised his wine cup and raised it towards Sui Guan, then drank it up.
Sui Guan naturally would not be willing to be followed by others, so he poured the wine in the cup into his stomach!
"Village chief, Meng Ba, Sui Guan!"
Everyone shouted. The number of names changed from two to three.
This banquet lasted for a long time before it ended. Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. Only Sui Guan and Meng Ba were left beside the bonfire.
Although Meng Ba had told Sui Guan a lot about the Elephant Lion, "younger brother, that thing is not easy to deal with. You must be careful!"
Sui Guan used a wooden stick to flip the bonfire. "bro, don't worry. Even if I can't win, I have ways to protect myself!"
He did not understand why Old Village Head wanted to give him such a dangerous mission. There must be some reason that prompted the village chief to make such a decision.
Sui Guan thought of a place the village chief mentioned just now and said to Meng Ba. "By the way," Meng Ba said. bro, what is the ancestral land that the chief mentioned?"
Meng Ba was embarrassed. "younger brother," he said. It wasn't that his brother didn't want to tell you, it was because it was forbidden to tell anyone about it. But you don't have to be curious. When you return with your success this time, you will naturally know the profoundness behind it! "
That place was the core of Big Tree Village. Only with the permission of the village chief could one enter it. If one were to force their way in, the village chief wouldn't stop them, but the intruder wouldn't be able to come out alive either!
Meng Ba had already seen too many corpses carried out by the village chief. All along, he had seen too many corpses carried out by the village chief. There are people spying on the ancestral land of Big Tree Village. They had even sent people to investigate, but no matter what kind of experts they sent out, they would never return!
Later on, Meng Ba was allowed to enter the ancestral land with the village chief's permission. After entering, he found out why all these intruders died inside!
"younger brother, I dare not say anything else, but you just have to remember one thing. You will get great benefits by entering the ancestral land!" Meng Ba said to Sui Guan with a fervent look in his eyes.
Sui Guan could see how great the benefits were from his eyes. It was absolutely a shocking benefit for Meng Ba, who was at the peak of the Divine Core realm, to make the practitioner sound so grand!
After a while, Meng Ba stood up and patted Sui Guan on the shoulder. He said, "younger brother, rest early. You are going to hunt tomorrow. I don't have anything for you. I only have this small knife that is close to my body for you!"
"bro, this is your considerate thing. How dare I accept it!" Sui Guan did not accept it.
"younger brother will accept it. You must bring a gift from another hunter when you are hunting for the first time. This is the inheritance!" Meng Ba did not waste any time and forcefully stuffed the dagger into Sui Guan's hand.
After forcing the knife into Sui Guan's hand, Meng Ba turned around and left.
He looked up at the dark sky with no moon in it. He did not know what was the source of the light during the day. Although it was dark at night, Sui Guan felt warm in his heart.
The next morning, everyone woke up early in the morning. They waited outside the village to see Sui Guan off for the first time he hunted alone.
After passing everyone, Sui Guan came to the village chief's side.
"Child, we are waiting for your return!"
After he finished speaking, he dipped his finger in some red pigment and touched Sui Guan's forehead.
"Now you are a real hunter. Go, go to the deepest part of the forest and start your hunt!"
"Sui Guan, Sui Guan, Sui Guan!"
The villagers shouted Sui Guan's name loudly and sincerely cared for the new hunter. They looked forward to his early return!
Carrying the bow and arrow on his back, Sui Guan walked out of the village valiantly with the small knife given by Black Ba on his feet.
Looking at Sui Guan who was ready to go, Meng Ba walked over and gave him a hug. He said, "younger brother, be careful. I will prepare food and drink here and wait for your good news!"
Sui Guan nodded heavily when he heard that. "bro, I will definitely bring the Elephant Lion back. At that time, everyone will drink the fine wine with the lion meat. Wouldn't that be great?"
"Alright!" Everyone responded loudly!
Sui Guan walked in front of the Bear Two that he had not seen for a long time and lifted its leg, making this lazy fellow to quickly follow.
Because there was a child in the village, Sui Guan wasn't particularly at ease with the Bear Two. He was afraid that the Bear Two would hurt the baby when it was playing, so he let it move freely in the forest.
Because of this, the Bear Two even had a lot of conflict with Sui Guan. If not for the fact that its owner gave it an entire ham sausage, it would definitely not let it go!
