Chapter 388 Become the strongest hunter!
Looking at the lively and cheerful little lotus in front of her, Feiying couldn't help but be deeply moved by her pure and enthusiastic emotions.
The excitement and anticipation emanating from Xiao Hehua's bright eyes reminded Feiying of the curiosity and enthusiasm she had when she had just started her adventure.
A gentle and kind smile appeared on Feiying's face.
She responded in a very gentle and encouraging tone:
"Okay! Let's go now."
After saying this, Feiying took the initiative to stretch out her hand so that Xiao Hehua could hold it easily.
The two of them held hands and left this quiet and peaceful little village together, walking towards the depths of the mountains and forests in the distance.
On the way out of the village, Xiao Hehua began to enthusiastically introduce to Feiying the hunting location they were about to go to:
"Sister, the place we are going to is called Qingsongling. It is one of the best hunting spots near our village."
There is obvious professionalism and proficiency in Xiao Hehua's tone:
"The terrain of Qingsongling is relatively complex, ranging from jungle to grassland, and contains certain water sources, providing a good habitat for various wild animals."
She paused, then continued in detail:
"Now that we are about to enter winter, most animals are preparing for winter. They will become more active and look for food to store energy for the winter."
Little Lotus' voice was full of excitement and anticipation:
“At Green Pine Ridge, the prey we are most likely to encounter include hares, squirrels, pheasants, and some small deer.”
"Hares usually come out to forage in the early morning and evening, and they like to move around on the edges of grassy areas, where there is plenty of food but they can quickly escape back into the bushes to avoid danger."
"Squirrels prefer to be in the pine forests, where they are now busy collecting pine cones and nuts in preparation for the coming cold winter."
Xiao Hehua's analysis became more in-depth and professional:
"Pheasants usually move around at the junction of forests and grasslands. They are very alert, but if we can find a suitable hiding place, we still have a chance to capture them successfully."
"As for small deer, they will usually be drinking near streams, especially at sunrise and sunset, which is our best hunting time."
Feiying was very surprised and curious to hear Xiao Hehua's detailed and professional analysis and introduction.
She asked in a tone full of admiration and confusion:
"Little Lotus, how do you know so much professional hunting knowledge?"
Feiying's tone was filled with obvious curiosity and confusion:
"You talk like an experienced old hunter!"
Feiying really felt a little confused this time.
This little girl, who looks very young, actually demonstrated such professional and mature hunting knowledge.
When she talked about hunting techniques and animal habits, she was like a mature hunter with rich experience and many battles.
At least in terms of theoretical knowledge about hunting, Xiao Hehua knows much more than Feiying herself.
But since Xiao Hehua has already mastered such rich and professional hunting knowledge, why does she still need to specially worship Feiying as her teacher and ask her to teach hunting skills?
This makes absolutely no sense!
Logically speaking, Feiying should learn from Xiaohehua.
Facing Feiying's confused question, Xiao Hehua explained in a slightly helpless but eager tone:
"All this hunting knowledge was taught to me by the village chief."
There was obvious regret and reluctance in Little Lotus' voice:
"Grandpa the village chief is the most experienced hunter in our village. He has been teaching me all kinds of hunting theories and techniques since I was a child."
She paused, then continued:
"It's just that because I'm still too young, the village chief always finds all kinds of excuses to prevent me from actually participating in hunting activities."
Little Lotus' tone became more depressed:
"He always said that I was too young and too dangerous, and that I had to wait until I was older before I could really go into the mountains and forests to hunt."
"So although I had a lot of theoretical knowledge, I never had any real practical experience."
After hearing Xiao Hehua's explanation, Feiying instantly understood the whole situation.
It turns out that Xiao Hehua is the type of person who has very solid and rich theoretical knowledge, but lacks practical experience.
She is like a young general who is well-versed in military books but has never been to the battlefield. Although she knows everything on paper, she lacks the opportunity and experience to turn theory into practice.
After hearing Xiao Hehua's detailed explanation, Feiying asked in a slightly confused tone:
"I still don't understand why the village chief doesn't allow you to participate in the hunt?"
She paused, then continued:
"It's not like all prey are powerful and dangerous."
There was obvious confusion in Feiying's tone:
"Like those little squirrels and rabbits you just mentioned, they shouldn't be any danger to you, right?"
"With your current age and physique, it shouldn't be a problem for you to catch these small animals."
In response to Feiying's question, Xiao Hehua answered in a slightly complicated tone:
"From the perspective of size and strength alone, those small animals will not pose any real danger to me."
Little Lotus's expression became a little serious:
"But the village chief said that in our forest, some prey have mutated."
There was obvious caution and concern in her voice:
"If you're unlucky, you're likely to encounter these mutated and dangerous creatures in the wild."
"Although these mutant creatures may look similar to normal animals, they are many times more aggressive and dangerous."
Little Lotus continued to explain:
"Moreover, the behavior patterns of these mutants are completely different from those of ordinary animals. It is difficult to predict what they will do."
"So the village chief believes that it is very dangerous to rashly go into the mountains to hunt before having sufficient practical experience and self-protection ability."
Having said that, Little Lotus paused slightly, as if organizing her thoughts.
Then, she continued in a more serious and firm tone:
"Besides this, I have always believed that hunting small prey that can be easily caught is not really hunting at all."
Little Lotus's eyes revealed a maturity and depth beyond her age:
"When I was little, the village chief grandfather repeatedly told me a truth."
"That is, this world follows the natural law of survival of the fittest."
Her tone became deeper and more philosophical:
“But while we treat other creatures as our prey, we ourselves may have become the prey of more powerful beings.”
"This is the cruel reality of the competition for survival in nature. If you look at it in the long term, no one can stay at the top of the food chain forever."
Little Lotus paused for a moment, then continued to elaborate on her point of view:
"So, compared to hunting harmless prey that are much weaker than yourself, I think real hunting should be challenging targets that are countless times stronger than yourself."
"Only through this kind of extreme hunting can you truly improve your strength and survivability."
Little Lotus' voice was full of firm determination:
"This is also the key to our village's survival in this dangerous forest for generations."
"There are many dangerous prey in the forest, and the village has been attacked by those prey many times."
"The village chief has always said that it is a miracle that we have been able to hold on until now."
Having said that, Xiao Hehua turned her head and looked at Feiying, her eyes full of expectation and desire:
"And what I want to learn from Sister Feiying is how to kill a giant brown bear with bare hands!"
“This is the kind of hunting I want!”
Little Lotus' tone became more excited and agitated:
"I want to learn from Sister Feiying how to defeat those huge and powerful beasts by relying only on my own body and skills without any weapons or equipment!"
Listening to Xiao Hehua's ambitious declaration, Feiying felt inexplicably dazed and unreal.
She looked carefully at the petite, seemingly young girl in front of her, and was completely unable to associate her with such a thrilling extreme hunting scene.
Feiying tried hard to imagine the scene of Xiao Hehua facing a huge brown bear alone.
But the contrast was so strong that she felt shocked and a little worried.
It is amazing that a little kid has such ambition to challenge the most dangerous beast in the forest.
To be honest, Feiying herself felt it was a bit outrageous.
However, looking at Xiao Hehua's firm and serious attitude, Feiying suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Through the figure of the little lotus, she seemed to see her former self.
"In the eyes of many people, I once seemed to be as overconfident as the little lotus, right?"
Feiying murmured secretly in her heart, and then laughed at herself.
She was obviously just an ordinary little fairy, but she had the delusion of fighting against those extremely powerful first-generation fairies.
Even against a being of the same level as the End, she once naively dreamed of defeating him.
In the eyes of others, such an idea must be very ridiculous and unrealistic.
Just like Xiao Hehua wants to fight a brown bear with her bare hands now, it sounds like a complete fantasy.
But even though I seem ridiculous and overconfident, I still get understanding and support from my friends time and time again.
Taoyao's attitude towards her always remained gentle and tolerant.
Apart from the natural sense of distance caused by the difference in strength, Taoyao has never shown any arrogance and contempt that an original fairy should have.
More importantly, Tao Yao has always believed that she can become her ideal self and truly achieve those seemingly impossible goals.
This unconditional trust and encouragement allows Feiying to always keep moving forward when facing difficulties and setbacks.
Thinking about it now, if Taoyao had treated her with an attitude of "you are too weak and it is impossible for you to achieve these goals", then she might never have grown and progressed as she has now.
It is precisely because of that precious support that she has been able to break through her own limits step by step and become the stronger and more confident person she is today.
And now, Xiao Hehua is in the same position as she was back then.
She had big goals and aspirations, but what she lacked was the opportunity and guidance to achieve them.
If I could give Xiao Hehua enough support like Tao Yao treated me back then, then this little girl might really be able to create an amazing miracle.
After all, Little Lotus wants to hunt a powerful brown bear as her prey, and doesn't she also want to target a top-level fairy like Endless as her prey?
