How did you discover me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in animal skin said: \"Miss, you really take me for a decoration, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes moved slightly, then he said: \"We don’t want to offend the young lady of a major influence. Here, whatever the young lady wants, whatever you fancy, feel free to take, perhaps we can forge a good relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Nian quietly observed him, glanced around and seeing no one approaching, she breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from puppet Tang Chou’s arm, but stayed close to Tang Chou, not going far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in animal skin turned and said amiably: \"I’m Gongshan Jun, allowing the young lady to see the Demon Beasts in this settlement, take whichever you fancy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he led the way, with Tang Nian following behind, thinking of solutions as she walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colorless, tasteless poison was still rolling around in puppet Tang Chou’s palm, waiting for another opportunity to be poured into the water tank...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This journey did not last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a corner, when passing a large water tank, as Tang Nian had puppet Tang Chou quietly toss poison towards that water tank,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun, guiding ahead, seemed as if he had eyes on his back, suddenly turned, like a flash of lightning, reached out to grab Tang Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a concealed spot, if not premeditated, how could it be found?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of ghost story, would he believe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun did not act immediately because at that time... he was not yet sure, so he first lulled the little girl with a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, having found the opportunity, he acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, puppet Tang Chou was poisoning, and all of Tang Nian’s attention was on the poison, which caused her... to be a beat slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this one beat, was the distance between victory and defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Nian’s face turned pale, her short hair dancing backward in the rushing wind, her mind was buzzing, blank, her eyes filled with fear...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man originally under the carriage, leaning against an old tree, drinking wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he had already gripped a blood-red bow, left hand holding the bow body, with bizarre blood flowing on the bow, as if drowning his fingers, the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand tossed a string of stones upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first stone fell, he fired the bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next followed the second, third...... thirtieth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the tossed stones hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man slightly lowered the bow, bent down to pick up stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distant settlement, Gongshan Jun, about to succeed, only felt an immense commotion from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast force swept through the air, like a meteor coming from the sky, already nearing the ground, with a roaring explosive sound... he could see nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could not escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He yelled, blood surging fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he would raise his hand, drawing an Ancestral Talisman with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, facing an unstoppable attack, he would let his body get hurt, then rapidly heal with an Ancestral Talisman, then retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current situation was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him was a Sixth Grade Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t have time to heal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... ahhh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun roared, blood and energy seemed to push all surrounding air outward, colliding with the oncoming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun flew backward, spraying Shadow Blood from his mouth into mist, then fell to the ground, and was pinned by the reacting Tang Nian with the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, everyone in the settlement from Seventh Grade to Ninth Grade all suffered varying degrees of attack, each falling, but not fatally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked up in fright, not knowing what happened nor understanding what kind of power this was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was very quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight’s wind was as cold as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan maintained his position of gripping the bow, waited another half-hour, then seeing no further reinforcements, grabbed the Ghost Bow, boarded the carriage, snapped the reins, and shouted, \"Giddy-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirited horse trotted leisurely toward the distant settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the settlement, Tang Nian bowed her head, ashamed, \"Foster father, I’m sorry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan smiled at her and said, \"You did quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at Gongshan Jun, somewhat troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Skin Handcuffs were only effective for Seventh Grade, and he was Sixth Grade...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun saw his predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth Grade Demon Hunter was very astute, severely injured, and had not yet treated with Shadow Blood, but had already knelt down in obeisance like toppling a gilded mountain, saying, \"Gongshan Jun, willing to serve my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan didn’t say anything, just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he let puppet Tang Chou watch over Gongshan Jun, while he found the second strongest in this settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a rugged man with \"225~260\" hovering over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan didn’t waste words, directly used \"Human Skin Handcuffs\" on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun pointed to a road going into the mountains, respectfully saying, \"My lord, this is the road, ahead there is a hidden small village, I think that should be the place you are looking for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan tilted his head, smiling at him... at the rugged man behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan patted Gongshan Jun, saying, \"Well done, I hope you didn’t deceive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshan Jun laughed, \"How could I deceive my lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken, than in front of Li Yuan, a flash of a blade cleaved this Sixth Grade Demon Hunter in half, then he shook the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sunlight, the hot blood beads glistened with a sinister and cruel red.\u003C\u002Fp>",1350,"2026-06-06T05:24:25.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","d3f6b7ff9dfcdc86d3b95eb6512662ae238aa107a66af3f38c9851a6f7e961f0","eternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-chapter-302",null,563,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-starts-as-a-hunter-cover.jpg"]
