Under a big tree, three headless bulls were hanged upside down, blood poured out from their neck, on the tree's base was two bulls head. Yan Xiu stood not far from it, looking at the bulls being bleed.

The rest of group was waiting under another tree shade, Bai Yuan was licking his bloodstained hands. Yan Xiu walked toward Chen Hanchen.

"Senior, can I ask something?" (YX)

"Sure." (CH)

"Why are we hunting them without building a camp first?" (YX)

"Good question. You see, different prey need different way of hunting. These One-horned Bull, for example, except for grazing, they spent their time roaming around, making them hard to pinpoint. And at night, they went back to their nest to rest." (CH)

"Then, why not attack them at night?" (YX)

"Because if we attack them at their nest, they won't flee and will fight to their death. So, to hunt them efficiently, we only hunt them when their grazing. That way we can minimize the danger and maximize the profit. Before we hunt something, we need to know it better, so we can hunt safely and easily.

Fighting a herd of One-horned Bulls is not only hard, it is also a waste. Even if we wipe out the whole herd, can we bring them back? Can we even finish them?

We are a hunter, not a mindless butcher. We only hunt what we need, we don't hunt irresponsibly. This is a lesson for you, take what you need, not what you want. You understand?" (CH)

"Yes, senior." (YX)

"Good." (CH)

Yan Xiu sat down and cultivate while waiting for the bulls to bleed. Then, Liu Feng, Chen Hanchen, and Yan Xiu each butchered one bull. This was the first time Yan Xiu butchered a bull, so he observed how the seniors and followed them. In two and a half hour, the bulls were butchered, no part of it was wasted. The organs, meat, skin, tails, even the bull's balls, they took everything that could be eaten.

Looking at the flesh mountain, Yan Xiu wondered how they going to took it with them. Xia Musheng stood up and went in front of the mountain, he reached out to his collar and took out a ring necklace. The necklace was silver and the ring was bronze colored with small white gem on it. He pointed the ring at the mountain and the flesh mountain was sucked into the ring.

Everyone didn't have any reaction on this, they were already used to it, but Yan Xiu was shocked. A Spacial Ring! Yan Xiu looked at the unassuming bronze ring, turned out it was ring with space in it and capable of storing something inside it. Yan Xiu looked at the ring with desire, if he had such ring, he could take many food with him without hassle.

After storing the meat, Xiao Musheng stuffed the ring necklace back into his clothes. With his signal, the group marched on. Liu Feng was once again leading the group, this time he led them into a cave.

"Good job on discovering this place, Liu Feng. We'll camp here, Chen Hanchen brought your team search for fire and set up the trap." (XM)

"Understood, teacher. Let's go." (CH)

Under Chen Hanchen lead, the team went out of the cave, they walked for about thirty minutes to a small pond. The pond was about six meters in diameter, the pond's edge was covered with tall water grass. Yan Xiu and the rest was confused.

"Senior, what are we doing here?" (XG)

"We're here to fish." (CH)

"Fish?" (SJ)

Shuang Jingu looked at the murky shallow water of the pond.

"Senior, I'm afraid we can only fish for eels in this pond." (SJ)

"Very good, you're right! We're here to fish for eels, the Blind Eels." (CH)

"For what, senior? And Blind Eel?" (YX)

"For bait. The Blind Eel are an eye-less eel that lives in these pond, the Gudol birds particularly like these eel. The Gudol birds are a flightless birds with strong and fast legs, and by fast I mean really fast. Hunting them normally is impossible because they're a sensitive demon beasts, they flee the moment they detected any sound or Zhenqi.

But they're not without weakness, they let their guard down when they eat. So, we need to bait them with the eels and ambushed them. Now then, rolled up your sleeves and let's fish! You can either use a fishing line or just catch one with hand, it's your choice." (CH)

After saying that, Chen Hanchen rolled his sleeves and jumped into the pond. He bend downward and used his hands to feel the mud below the water, searching for holes where the eels burrowed in. Yan Xiu and the other two didn't bring any fishing line, so they rolled up their sleeves and searching around like Chen Hanchen.

Bai Yuan wasn't interested in following them, so he sat down and looked at the four humans in the pond. While their searching, Yan Xiu recalled the aura around Chen Hanchen's dagger and Bai Yuan's fist and felt curious. Still feeling around the mud, Yan Xiu spoke.

"Senior, that red aura around your dagger back then, is that a skill? A spell?" (YX)

The other two apprentice hunters also interested, so they perked their ears.

"That? That's something you can use when you become an Inner Foundation expert. As an Inner Foundation expert, you can infuse your weapon or body with your Zhenqi to reinforce them.

Making them sharper and tougher, depend on your mastery, you can clad yourself in Zhenqi to make yourself stronger and faster. Of course, you have to be an expert on it or you'll risk hurting your own body.

At Outer Foundation, a stage above Inner foundation, you can manifest your Zhenqi outside and attack with it. And there are rare cases, where the Zhenqi manifested as a Totem." (CH)

"Totem?" (YX)

"Normally, when an Outer Foundation let out his Zhenqi it didn't have any form, except he uses a spell or skill. But, there are some that have definite form like a weapon or beast, that are called Totems.

Unlike a normal Outer Foundation expert, the Outer Foundation expert with a Totem have an innate skill or other abilities connected to their Totem." (CH)

"Wow, that's so cool." (YX)

"I wonder if I'd have Totem.." (XG)

"Senior, is there anyway we could now if we have a Totem or not?" (SJ)

"Well, you either have to reach Outer Foundation stage or use an Assessment Altar. I heard it can show your manifested Zhenqi. You guys can try it two months later in Firehowl city, I heard they will set up one there for the Disciple Recruiting day." (CH)

"Really?! I'll definitely go there!" (XG)

"Count me in, Brother!" (SJ)

"Well, it's good to be enthusiast but don't forget to move your hand. Let's catch some eels first, okay?" (CH)

Xin Guodan and Shuang Jingu realized they stopped searching for eels and started again, but their head was full of hope and imagination of having Totem. Yan Xiu too fantasize about having a Totem, after all, he wished to get stronger.

After a few hours, they managed to caught twenty five Blind Eels. The eels didn't have eyes and their colour was like mud with yellowish tinge. They make a makeshift leaf bag and put the live eels inside, after some cleaning up, they left the pond.
