Martial Arts: I Have Chapter 165 - 126: Hunting Hall, Instruction

Chapter 165: Chapter 126: Hunting Hall, Instruction

This isn’t for us. It’s for yourselves—for your own wives and children, and for your future.

You all know from this morning’s eting that Contribution Points can be exchanged for many things. The kind of life you want to lead is up to you to decide.

I know what you’re worried about, but there’s no need to be. Watch more, listen more, ask more, and rember more. You’ll naturally get the hang of it.

Even if you die accidentally, your families will still have food to eat and a place to live here. They’ll also receive a pension in Contribution Points.

Today, I’ll first take you into the mountain to see how things are! Alright, do you all have your Seven Herbs Powder?

"Got it."

"Yes, got it."

"Here!"

"..."

Listening to their responses, Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly, then suddenly shouted, "Over the past half-month, your bodies have mostly recovered. Don’t be so listless! Show so manly spirit! The Inner Mountain is dangerous, but its dangers are visible!

Because the Seven Herbs Powder reduces the invisible dangers you face—which are also the greatest dangers!

So, the resources in the mountain are ours for the taking!

For those of you with families, the Inner Mountain is your key to giving them a better life! For those who are unmarried, it’s where you’ll find the future to marry and have children! Now tell , are you ready?"

"Ready!!"

Cheng Zongyang’s words stirred the n’s blood, making them feel as if everything in the mountains was just waiting for them.

It was the fastest and most abundant way for them to earn Contribution Points!

Even their family mbers were roused by Cheng Zongyang and couldn’t help but shout along.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang declared, "Let’s move out!"

Imdiately, Cheng Zongyang, with his Tang Blade in hand and a Bow and Arrow on his back, took the lead.

His younger maternal uncle brought up the rear, with his two older cousins and his younger cousins on the flanks. In the middle were the twenty young, able-bodied n, each holding Hunting Weapons like Wooden Spears, Bamboo Bows, and Firewood Knives.

In the spirit of not letting anything go to waste, Cheng Zongyang had scavenged most of these tools from the abandoned hos in various villages.

He had even scavenged household items, leaving nothing behind, and sent them into the mountains for others to carry back for these Outsiders to use.

You could say that Cheng Zongyang had emptied every abandoned house in the villages near Golden Bridge Village of anything useful.

This was why so many people were able to settle in the mountains and have so many supplies at their disposal.

Making do was better than having nothing at all.

As for his second younger cousin, Cheng Zongying, who also had an aptitude for dicine Recognition, she had been sent by her father to temporarily join the team. This would give her so experience in the mountains and increase the speed and efficiency of gathering dicinal herbs.

As Cheng Zongyang led the group into the mountains, their pace was not fast. Besides gathering dicinal herbs, Cheng Zongyang also taught them basic survival knowledge along the way.

He didn’t expect these n to accomplish much in the first few days; it would be good enough if they could just rember the essential precautions for entering the mountains. The main goal was for his two younger cousins to practice their dicine Recognition and gather herbs.

"...So, if you don’t have Seven Herbs Powder, you must cover yourselves completely with long pants, long sleeves, and cloth shoes to avoid being bitten by insects.

A single bite from a poisonous bug could an serious trouble for any of you. That’s why before entering the mountains, you must either bring Seven Herbs Powder or apply so insect repellent."

Cheng Zongyang taught as they walked, having his younger cousins identify and gather dicinal herbs along the way.

The one-li area within the Henei Region was covered by Seven Herbs Powder, so almost no animals appeared there.

Within this range, Cheng Zongyang wasn’t worried they would encounter any major problems.

The siblings, Cheng Zongwen and Cheng Zongying, were focused mainly on gathering herbs and didn’t pay much attention to their older cousin Cheng Zongyang’s explanations.

Their task was to gather the herbs, collecting them completely with roots and soil intact. This was so they could be brought back for cultivation, allowing them to eventually produce seeds.

Although Cheng Zongyang was explaining mountain lore to the twenty young n, he was also keeping a constant watch on the two siblings.

Gradually, the group’s range of activity extended further from the Henei Region, and they stepped out of the designated safe zone.

Although the journey so far had mainly been for instruction, he also wanted them to personally experience how to hunt prey truly, effectively, and in an organized manner. He needed to cultivate their sense of teamwork.

The mountains were ho not only to wild beasts but also to Exotic Beasts.

Encountering an Exotic Beast could spell disaster even for a Martial Artist. Fighting one alone was out of the question, but with good tactics, it wasn’t impossible to kill one through coordinated effort!

Therefore, teamwork was crucial.

Even against ordinary wild beasts, teamwork was necessary. They weren’t Martial Artists; they didn’t have the Ability to fight alone! Once they beca qualified Hunter Gatherers in the future, they could then undergo further training to beco Martial Artists.

After all, dicinal Materials were limited at the mont, making it impossible to train so many people. They could only select a few to focus on.

Ti passed bit by bit. Cheng Zongyang cautiously led them on a patrol around the outer periter, searching and gathering herbs.

After about an hour and a half, soone suddenly spotted a small wild boar that seed to have wandered off alone to forage.

It wasn’t large and had probably just recently matured. It was hiding by a patch of shrubs, and if you weren’t looking closely, you would have missed it nibbling on wild fruit that had fallen from a tree.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang imdiately halted the group, had everyone crouch down, and then whispered:

"You should all rember so of the things I’ve told you on our way here. Now, tell , what should you do in a situation like this?"

Cheng Zongyang questioned them like a teacher quizzing his students.

Hearing the question, the n looked at each other, growing nervous. It was the sa helpless anxiety they felt when being questioned by a scholar.
