In the wild mountains, the morning mist lingers, as if a mysterious veil envelops this ancient land.
Han Che, the Young tribal leader of the barbarian tribe, will lead three tribesmen and Zhang Jin deep into the heart of Savage Mountain for a hunt today.
Three tribal members, one named Yan Sa, a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face depicting his rich hunting experience;
The other is a young warrior named Thunder, with a wild gleam in his eyes, a sturdy physique, and immense strength.
The last one is a female warrior named Liu Xu. She is agile in her movements, and her eyes reveal wit and decisiveness.
Han Che gave a brief introduction of these three people to Zhang Jin. Yan Sa is an experienced hunter in the tribe, Thunder is his proud disciple, and Liu Xu is a rare female warrior in the tribe, with her archery skills being among the best in the clan.
Savage Mountain, a place full of unknowns and dangers. It is said that the mountain pigs here possess unusual intelligence and cunning. Despite their small size, hunting them is no easy task.
A group of five, treading on thick fallen leaves, making their way through dense thickets, heading towards the habitat of the mountain pigs.
The morning light filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on them. Each person looked solemn, except for Zhang Jin, whose eyes held a hint of curiosity and awe for this land. She knew that today's hunt would be a difficult test and a learning experience to gain more experience.
Yan Sa gestured quietly, signaling everyone to spread out and find cover among the trees and bushes.
Thunder and Willow Catkin quickly found their positions, while Han Che stayed by Zhang Jin's side and whispered to her, "Remember, don't make any sound and stay by my side."
Zhang Jin nodded and followed Han Che's footsteps.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, carrying the scent of wild boar from the distance.
Yan Qing's eyes narrowed, signaling everyone to get ready. Lei Ming gripped his stone axe tightly, while Liu Xu silently drew back the bowstring.
Zhang Jin felt a hint of tension in the air, her heart racing, but she tried to keep calm, imitating the movements of Han Che, slowly crouching down, hiding in the shadowy grass under a large tree.
At that moment, a wild boar appeared in their sight, its size not as huge as a wild boar, but its alert and cunning eyes revealed its shrewdness.
Yan Qing signaled Thunder and Willow to prepare for an attack, while he quietly circled around to the side and rear of the wild boar.
Han Che locked his gaze tightly on the wild boar, his fingers lightly touching the dagger at his waist, ready to respond to any potential situation. Zhang Jin held her breath, observing everything, her heart filled with trust in Han Che.
In this tense atmosphere, a faint sound suddenly broke the silence. The wild boar raised its head abruptly, sniffing the air continuously with its nose.
A hint of anxiety flashed in Thunder's eyes, while Willow aimed at the wild boar's vital spot, preparing to shoot a deadly arrow.
However, at this critical moment, a larger shadow suddenly emerged from the woods, a huge black bear silently approached them like a ghost. At that moment, everyone's heart was in their throat.
Yan Qing flashed a hint of fear in his eyes, Han Che quickly stood up and stood in front of Zhang Jin.
The black bear's gaze locked onto Han Che, and a hint of a mocking smile seemed to appear at the corner of its mouth. Han Che did not flinch, his body tensed, ready to face this life-and-death battle.
The black bear let out a deep roar, and its claws swished through the air towards Han Che.
Han Che Swiftly dodging to the side, but still grazed by the black bear's claws, a deep wound appeared on his back, staining his clothes crimson with fresh blood.
Upon seeing this, Thunder and Willow immediately hurled their weapons at the black bear, while Yan Sa drew back the bowstring and shot an arrow towards the bear's eye.
But all of a sudden, its claws were swiped away, distracting the black bear. Its body swayed for a moment, but quickly regained balance.
At that moment, Zhang Jin stepped forward, a hint of determination in her eyes. She stood in front of the black bear, emitting a faint glow.
The black bear's claws swung out again, just as they were about to touch Zhang Jin, but suddenly stopped.
A look of confusion flashed in the black bear's eyes, seeming to hesitate. Then it lowered its head, sniffed the scent on Zhang Jin, and unexpectedly turned around, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, filled with surprise and confusion.
Han Che The wound behind was still bleeding, Yan Sa and Lei Ming quickly stepped forward to help Han Che stop the bleeding, while Liu Xu approached Zhang Jin with admiration in her eyes: "You were really brave just now, Zhang Jin."
Han Che After a simple treatment of the wound, he looked at Zhang Jin gratefully and said, "Thank you, Zhang Jin, if it weren't for you, I might not have survived."
Zhang Jin shook her head gently and replied, "No need to thank me, this is what I should do."
"We need to hurry back to the tribe with the young tribal leader. His injury is not light, and he needs to be treated and rested as soon as possible," Willow said.
Although Zhang Jin still felt the lingering danger from earlier, seeing Han Che safe, she gradually calmed down. She turned to Yan Qing and Thunder, nodded in agreement.
Yan Qing and Lei Ming carefully helped Young tribal leader up, their movements particularly gentle, fearing to worsen his injuries.
The catkins lead the way ahead, with light and agile steps, as if they were familiar with this mountain forest. Zhang Jin follows closely behind, her gaze occasionally falling on Han Che, showing her deep concern.
The group passes through patches of lush woods, with sunlight dappling through the treetops and casting speckled light on them.
Although it was daytime, the cool and damp air in the mountains and forests always carried a mysterious atmosphere. The barbarian tribe tribe was hidden deep in this ancient forest.
Before long, the five returned to the tribe, and the members immediately surrounded them with worried expressions upon seeing Young tribal leader Han Che injured.
The tribal shaman was quickly summoned, wearing a long robe woven with various exotic herbs and holding a staff carved with ancient totems. His face bore a mysterious and solemn expression.
The shaman crouched beside Han Che, carefully examining his wound. He took out several different-colored herbs from his pouch, each emitting a soothing fragrance. Skillfully, he ground the herbs, mixed them together, and gently applied them to Han Che's wound.
The moment the herbs touched the wound, Han Che's body trembled slightly, but quickly relaxed again, apparently the herbs had taken effect.
The shaman murmured ancient incantations, his fingers tracing complex symbols in the air. With his incantations and gestures, a faint green powder sprinkled from his fingers, slowly seeping into Han Che's wound. This was a unique healing method of the barbarian tribe, as they believed it could not only treat physical injuries but also soothe the pain of the soul.
After the treatment, his complexion improved significantly, appearing Han Che, and his breathing became steady. The shaman stood up, nodded to the onlookers, indicating that they need not worry.
Then he turned to Zhang Jin, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry. Zhang Jin understood and quietly explained to the shaman the encounter with a black bear in the mountains.
After a moment of silence, the shaman's eyes became deep and seemed to be contemplating something.
After a while, he said to Zhang Jin, "Your courage and wisdom saved the young tribal leader and spared our tribe from a disaster. You are not only our guest, but from now on, you are also a friend of our barbarian tribe."
Zhang Jin Upon hearing this, my heart warmed. I understand that in this ancient land, the title of friend is far more precious than that of a guest, representing a deep trust and respect.
Han Che With the support of the shaman, he slowly stood up and looked gratefully at Zhang Jin, bowing deeply: "Zhang Jin, thank you. I owe you my life."
Zhang Jin shook his head and replied softly, "It's only natural for us to help each other. You got hurt protecting me, Han Che."
A faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of Han Che's mouth as he said, "In this land, we are all each other's guardians."
Zhang Jin's eyes were determined: "But I still want to thank you for protecting me at all costs."
The shaman cleared his throat gently, interrupting their conversation: "Young tribal leader, although your injuries have improved, you still need to rest. We will support you back now and let you rest well." After speaking, he gestured for Yan Sa to come and help support Young tribal leader.
Han Che Nodding, he accepted the witch doctor's advice and said to Zhang Jin, "Then I'll take my leave for now."
Zhang Jin responded with a smile, "Okay, take good care and rest well."
As the shaman and Yan Sa supported Han Che, Zhang Jin stood quietly, watching their figures disappear into the distance.
