Today’s dinner is roasted lamb and stewed lamb. The best part is roasted and eaten. The lamb neck, lamb chops and lamb loin are stewed in a large pot. This is definitely a big meal in the wild.
In addition, the internal organs of the antelope were also packed away. After everyone had dinner, Mu Weixiong made it into haggis soup and saved it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
After a mutton feast, it was already dark.
The bonfire in the temporary camp has been lit, and several people are chatting casually. The fragrance of stew can be heard nearby, and Mu Weixiong is cooking haggis.
It is actually very dangerous to stew meat and barbecue in a wild camp. The aroma can easily attract beasts.
But Mu Weixiong was prepared. He used powder ground from the bones of different beasts and sprinkled it several times around the temporary camp.
Almost every hunter and medicinal collector who often goes into the mountains will make such medicinal powder, but the difference in efficacy is very large. Some powders can only repel mosquitoes, while some powders can prevent even black bears and wolves from taking a step beyond them.
The formula and process of the medicinal powder used by Mu Weixiong have been improved countless times by his family for generations, and the medicinal effect is remarkable. Many knowledgeable people nearby would come to him to buy some medicinal powder before going into the mountains.
After the Mu family father and son finished spreading the medicinal powder, everyone else returned to their tents to sleep, but they had to take turns working the night shift.
Although they are not too far into the mountains now, they have already reached an area dominated by wild beasts, and powder and bonfires alone are not enough to block all dangers.
Although Mu Tiezhu is still a student, he is also treated as an adult at this time. The so-called guide earns just this hard-earned money.
Mu Weixiong cherished his son and let him work the first half of the night. He would go to bed first, and he would get up and sleep with Mu Tiezhu in the second half of the night.
Despite his young age, Mu Tiezhu has followed his father into the mountains almost every winter and summer vacation since he was in middle school at the age of twelve. Each visit can last as long as half a month or as short as three to five days, so his experience is also very rich.
Just after everyone was asleep, he found a blind spot illuminated by the campfire and sat down. He leaned against a big tree and fell asleep with his eyes closed, but his ears were erect, carefully paying attention to the movements around him.
The summer night in the mountain forest is not peaceful, it is noisy. Many nocturnal animals leave their nests and search for their favorite food.
Mu Weixiong’s medicinal powder is very effective. When animals of all sizes approach intentionally or unintentionally, they will soon be frightened away by the smell of the medicinal powder. Even mosquitoes will stay away from this range.
Suddenly, Mu Tiezhu's ears twitched, and he suddenly opened his eyes, staring fixedly in front of him.
Almost at the same time, the sounds made by the surrounding animals suddenly stopped as if cut off by a knife, leaving only a "rustling" sound as the night wind passed through the forest.
The forest ahead was pitch black, as if there was a terrifying giant beast hiding in it, looking at the temporary camp with cold eyes.
I don’t know when the sky was covered by dark clouds, blocking the moonlight and starlight behind it.
Mu Tiezhu tried his best, but could not see anything. He was so nervous that the hairs on his hair seemed to stand on end.
Mu Tiezhu's hand slowly dropped to his waist, holding his dagger firmly. At this time, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his breathing was becoming rapid.
Under this inexplicable and huge pressure, young Mu Tiezhu was about to collapse. He wished he could rush directly into the forest. No matter what the outcome was, he just wanted to have a happy fight.
At this moment, a rough but warm hand covered his hand.
Mu Tiezhu was startled, then let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. He knew that his father Mu Weixiong had come to his side.
The expression on Mu Weixiong’s face was very solemn. Although he has never encountered this kind of situation before, there are similar legends in old legends. Could it be that he won a big prize during this trip and encountered a wild ghost?
The wind is getting faster and faster.
For a moment it was on the left, for a moment it was on the right, as if it was spinning around the temporary camp.
In the darkness, the branches and leaves of the trees were swayed by the wind, and strange shadows appeared and disappeared, and ghosts and ghosts were whirling.
The Mu family father and son stood side by side, holding their weapons tightly in their hands and staring straight ahead.
Ahead, you can still only hear the sound of wind, and you can only see different layers of darkness superimposed on top of each other, but the invisible pressure is rushing towards your face like a tide.
I don’t know how long it took, but the pressure suddenly disappeared. The moon, which had been covered by dark clouds just now, was revealed, spreading its bright moonlight to the earth.
Although the woods in front are hidden in darkness, they seem to be alive and a little more lively. The sound of insects all around started ringing again, as if nothing just happened.
It was only then that Mu Tiezhu's cold sweat broke out from his body. His underwear was instantly soaked, and even the hemp rope wrapped around the handle of the wrist-removing knife in his hand was soaked.
Mu Tiezhu felt sore all over and even wanted to lie down on the ground. He quickly took a few deep breaths, but heard his father next to him also taking a deep breath.
Mu Weixiong was extremely nervous just now, but now he felt relieved when he realized that the crisis had disappeared.
As an excellent hunter, he is not afraid of all kinds of dangers in the mountains and forests. Even when faced with tigers, leopards and bears, he still has the courage and confidence to fight them.
But if he really encountered a mountain spirit wild ghost, it would be far beyond his ability.
Mu Weixiong is not only the guide leading the team, but his son is also with him. If an accident happens, he can only fight to the death. As for the outcome, leave it to fate.
"Tie Zhu, it's almost time, you go back to sleep. Don't think too much, tonight's things are over. If you don't understand anything, we can talk about it on the road tomorrow. Now let me be on duty." Mu Wei Xiong patted his son on the shoulder,Switched classes with him.
Mu Tiezhu didn’t show any pretense and went directly into their tent to rest. The father and son always have to take turns to be on duty. If both of them stay up, it has no meaning other than consuming their own energy.
While the father and son were secretly rejoicing, they did not realize that at some point, both Kamemoto Yucheng and Minako had put on black bodysuits. The two of them bent down and hid in the temporary camp. In the shadows between the tents.
Until then, the two of them made a gesture and quietly got into Kamemoto Yucheng's tent.
The team brought a total of four small two-person tents. Kamemoto Yucheng has one for himself, two male students use one, the female students and Minako use one, and the Mu family and his son use the last one.
When something happened outside, Kamemoto was the first to notice something strange and left his tent early to lurk.
Minako's cultivation level was slightly worse. She hurried out of the tent when she felt something was wrong, which was later than Mu Weixiong who had always been vigilant.
The two returned to the tent. Kamemoto sat on his knees on the ground, his brows furrowed and his face solemn.
Minako took the initiative to kneel behind Kamemoto and obediently stretched out her hand to massage Kamemoto's neck.
"Teacher, just now..."
