Chapter 3: The Knife Fell, Blood Splattered

There are many tools needed to hunt in the mountains.

Chu Liang usually needs to bring a lot of things such as hunting bows, hunting knives, forks, baits, poisons, trap materials, etc. when he goes into the mountains.

Ordinary villagers, if they are not strong enough, will be overwhelmed by carrying these tools.

"I can barely pull the hunting bow now. If the distance is close enough, I should be able to penetrate the opponent's throat."

Chu Liang's eyes swept over the many hunting tools, and a string of information emerged in his mind.

[High-quality hunting bow: can evolve]

[Offer 20 kilograms of ordinary monster flesh and blood to evolve "high-quality hunting bow" into "monster hunting bow"]

[Ordinary hunting knife: can evolve]

[Ordinary three-pronged fork: can evolve]

[...]

[Drug (including antidote): can evolve]

[Offer three kilograms of flesh and blood to evolve "drug (including antidote)" into "soul-bewitching smoke (including antidote)"]

"Soul-bewitching smoke?"

Chu Liang's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the small medicine bottle.

This kind of drug is what he usually uses to capture living things.

Some shops in the county town specialize in collecting live prey, and the price is much higher than that of dead prey, so Chu Liang bought some drugs.

These drugs all come with antidotes to prevent accidental ingestion.

"That's it!"

Chu Liang didn't have time to think about it, and quickly took a piece of smoked meat from the beam of the kitchen.

"Offer blood and flesh to evolve the drug."

His mind moved, and the bronze mirror in his mind glowed slightly.

A large piece of smoked meat just taken off was instantly missing.

At the same time, the drug and its accompanying antidote changed, and even the small earthen bottle containing the drug turned into an exquisite white porcelain bottle.

"Is this the soul-bewitching smoke?"

Chu Liang looked at the small porcelain bottle.

[Soul-bewitching smoke: can be evolved]

[Offer three pounds of ordinary monster blood and flesh, and the "soul-bewitching smoke" can be evolved into "Seven Steps Down"]

Chu Liang got a hint that this thing can continue to evolve, but like the wound healing ointment, it also needs monster meat.

He threw the antidote into his mouth, and then slowly opened the seal of the porcelain bottle.

Instantly, a colorless and odorless green smoke floated out.

"I hope this thing is useful."

Chu Liang placed the porcelain bottle in the corner of the main room.

To be on the safe side, he carried a hunting bow and a hunting knife, his eyes calm, and quietly squatted in the dark.

Outside the door, in the yard, the gentle footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Finally, the footsteps stopped at the door.

"Chi——"

A thin wooden strip suddenly stretched in through the gap in the door.

I saw that the wooden strip was suddenly lifted up, and the bolt behind the door was picked open!

Creak...

The door was gently pushed open, and a ray of dim moonlight fell in.

A familiar face appeared outside the door, it was Uncle San!

"Aliang, don't blame me, Uncle San. If you die, Uncle San's family can live a good life!"

Uncle San looked fierce, stepped over the threshold, and walked towards the bedroom step by step.

In the dark, Chu Liang looked calm, said nothing, and slowly tightened the hunting knife in his hand.

He was not very surprised.

In the evening, when a group of relatives were trying to persuade the second uncle, the third uncle was the one who persuaded the most.

Under Chu Liang's gaze, the third uncle walked to the bedroom door, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and walked into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the small stove for boiling medicine had gone out, but the unpleasant smell of medicine still permeated the darkness for a long time.

"Huh..."

The third uncle blew up a fire stick.

With the weak light of the fire, he looked at the bed.

"Huh? Where is this kid?"

The third uncle frowned. There was no one on the bed, only a thick quilt.

He couldn't help but wonder.

"Aliang is so injured, it's a question whether he can move. Could it be... Could it be that the second brother took this kid to his home?"

As he was thinking, the third uncle suddenly felt his head sink and dizzy.

"What's going on?"

The third uncle shook his head, but it didn't get better. Instead, his head became more dizzy.

A feeling of drowsiness eroded his body.

He felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his chest was a little stuffy.

"Something's wrong..."

His body shook, and he immediately turned around, intending to leave here first.

But at this moment - Chu Liang suddenly rushed out from the dark, his eyes were cold, holding a sharp hunting knife, and instantly rushed in front of Uncle San!

Uncle San was shocked and had no time to dodge, so he could only barely raise the fire starter in his hand.

"Kacha--"

A cold light flashed, and a knife cut his throat!

The fire starter broke into two pieces and rolled to the ground.

The fire flickered, warm blood splashed all over the ground, and Uncle San's body fell backwards to the ground.

He widened his eyes and stared at the figure holding the bloody hunting knife.

"Ah..."

Uncle San's eyes were full of horror, and he seemed to want to say something, but there was only a dying whine in his throat.

He couldn't believe it, how could Chu Liang still be able to move?

At that time in the evening, Chu Liang was almost dead, with only one breath left.

At this moment, Chu Liang stood in front of him, his breath was steady, not like a dying man at all.

Uncle San wanted to beg, but he could no longer make any sound. Fear, despair and regret filled his heart. If he had known that Chu Liang could still move, he would not have dared to come even if he had ten courage!

But it was too late to say anything now!

After a while, Uncle San's eyes began to blur, and finally there was no movement.

He was dead.

[Do not worship]

The Evolution Treasure Book suddenly sent a prompt.

"Huh..."

Chu Liang let out a light breath, threw the hunting knife aside, took two steps back and sat on the wooden bench in the main hall. His face was still calm, but his hands were slightly trembling.

Anyone who has killed someone knows that the first time you kill someone will be a little nervous.

The effect of the soul-stirring smoke was not as good as Chu Liang thought, perhaps the amount was too small, or the time was too short.

If the third uncle was knocked out directly, it would save a lot of trouble.

Chu Liang's outburst involved wounds all over his body.

Just now, he was so nervous that he didn't pay attention to the pain. Now he relaxed and felt a sharp pain instantly.

"Hiss..."

The whole body seemed to be torn apart!

Chu Liang's face trembled with pain, and he took several deep breaths.

"I hope I can recover from my injuries as soon as possible, and then I can start practicing martial arts."

Becoming a warrior is Chu Liang's current goal.

If Mr. Hu is seriously injured, would other people in the village dare to pay attention to him?

Of course not!

The deterrent power of a warrior is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

After a short rest, Chu Liang endured the pain and stood up to deal with the scene.

"Corpse-melting water, this thing will be used eventually."

He returned to the kitchen, took out the bottle of vinegar, and then took two pieces of smoked meat from the beam.

It takes ten kilograms of meat to evolve vinegar into corpse-melting water, which is much more than the previous evolution of soup and drugs.

"Evolve!"

With a thought, one of the two pieces of smoked meat disappeared directly, and the other one was also missing more than half.

At the same time, the vinegar in front of him turned into a bottle of turbid solution.

[Corpse-melting water: can be evolved]

[Offer ten kilograms of ordinary monster flesh and blood, "corpse-melting water" can be evolved into "corpse-melting powder"]

The bronze mirror sent a message, showing that this thing can continue to evolve.

Chu Liang realized that perhaps as long as the requirements were met, he could continue to evolve anything.

This bronze mirror is really too powerful.

Even an ordinary kitchen knife can become a peerless sword if it evolves a few more times!

But...

Why does this bronze mirror only need meat?

Could it be that there is an old monster who likes to eat meat living in the mirror?

Chu Liang shook his head, cleared his mind, and stopped thinking so far for the time being.
