"No." The fibula immediately withered.

"Alright, let's continue hunting. Let's go find some prey that can be sold for a high price."

With the map it would be much more convenient, Rong Hua came to the wild deer's survival area, where there were already a few teams hunting.

"Whose child are you?" A man in his thirties discovered Rong Hua.

"I'm here to hunt." Rong Hua replied.

The man frowned, "What kind of clothes are you wearing? They look like animal skins, and they shouldn't be children from the village right? Although this is the habitat of a wild deer, there are wild wolves and other wild beasts at the edge of this place. Are you not afraid of being eaten?"

Rong Hua looked at him indifferently, "I don't have money, I want to earn money to eat."

"Oh, I have dozens of Demon Soul Pearls. Hurry back to your house, this place is very dangerous." The man took out a small purse.

Rong Hua shook her head, "I can make money myself."

"Seriously, you're quite stubborn." The man took back his money bag and didn't pay any more attention to Rong Hua.

"Captain, there's a herd of wild deer over there." Someone called out.

The man turned around after a few steps. "Child, why don't you follow me? I'll take you to a safe place when I get back."

Rong Hua didn't want to refuse and wanted to see how they would hunt, "Many thanks big brother."

"You can call me uncle, but my family's kids are all older than you." The man laughed.

Rong Hua didn't say anything and followed the man. They were at a high ground, looking down at a group of wild deer. These wild deer had sharp antlers on their heads, making them look difficult to kill.

"The target this time is the Deer King, so don't hunt the rest of the deer for now. Try to catch them alive, as it's worth living." The man whispered.

Rong Hua didn't move. He knew that this Deer King wasn't one of her dishes. It was good to watch people hunt.

"Whose child is this!?" Someone had discovered Rong Hua.

"Oh, my village's kid, has brought you a long experience." The man replied.

The team members didn't say anything more. They started to take out ropes and things and began to prepare.

When the hunt began, Rong Hua lost interest after watching for a while. Their hunting methods were very primitive, the encirclement and pursuit caused chaos among the deer, and a few weaker wild deer were killed by them.

The Golden Deer King seemed to have realized that their target was it, so it ran to the side alone. This action was definitely done to protect the tribe.

The man and the others surrounded the deer king. The deer king cawed into the sky a few times, and the herd of deer immediately ran in one direction, disappearing very quickly.

Rong Hua ran over to look at the deer king, its horns shining like they were made of gold. A pair of wild and unruly eyes looked down on everyone, but its gaze paused on Rong Hua for a moment before it left.

The hunters threw out ropes to trap the deer king, but the deer king didn't struggle.

The man was overjoyed. He took out his machete and walked over cautiously. As he approached, he raised his machete and aimed at the horn of the Deer King.

Rong Hua was stunned. So the only reason she wanted to kill the Deer King was because she wanted its horn. Perhaps the Deer King had already experienced this a few times, so in order for the herd of deer to leave, it obediently offered up its horn.

After cutting off the antlers, the man said, "Let it go."

However, aside from the man, the other five people did not move.

The man frowned. "What are you doing?"

"The Dongfang family has placed a bounty on the aged deer blood, so we have to kill it."

The man's face darkened. "No, I've said it before. As long as the antlers don't kill it, I can help you collect a bottle of the blood if it's not too much."

Rong Hua discovered that those people had strange expressions on their faces, so she ran to the man's side and gripped the short thorn in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

"How can one bottle be enough? Deer skin and other items can all be sold for a high price." Those people objected.

Rong Hua looked at the man, who gritted his teeth and waved his hand to cut off the rope binding the Deer King. The Deer King also realized that his own life was in danger and immediately sent out a mad kick.

Out of the five men, three of them were immediately knocked unconscious. The remaining two dodged quickly, but they did not give up.

Darts with barbs and chains shot out of the quiver. The darts stabbed into the shoulder armor and the back of the Deer King's buttocks.

"What a shame." One of them cursed.

The man panicked. "We can't capture him."

One of them was pulling at the Deer King, while the other one was throwing a concealed weapon at the man. The man had not expected to be shot in the chest.

Rong Hua's gaze turned cold. A short thorn flew out from his hand and killed the person who shot the cold arrow. Seeing that, the other person also raised his hand to shoot.

Although the man was injured, he did not lose consciousness. With a flash of the broadsword in his hand, he chopped off the man's arm. The man immediately let out a blood-curdling scream and fainted.

Rong Hua walked over and saw that she had been killed with a short thorn.

The big man was stunned. "You …"

"We are enemies anyway, we are cruel to ourselves by being merciful to our enemies." Rong Hua said indifferently.

The big man became silent. Even a child could understand the reasoning behind this, yet he still acted so knowingly.

"What should we do with the antlers?" Rong Hua asked.

The man took out a jade gourd. This gourd was only an inch or so in length and was extremely adorable. Opening the mouth of the gourd and pointing it at the antler, the antler automatically shrunk and entered the gourd.

"What is this gourd?" Rong Hua's eyes were filled with amazement. The gourd actually didn't need the power of the devil soul to use it.

"This is a storage gourd, it can be considered low grade. The medium grade ones have bracelets and the high grade ones have rings." The man sat on the ground, healing his wounds.

Rong Hua suddenly thought of his transparent ring. If this ring was really left behind from the ancient times, then just like this gourd, it shouldn't need the power of the devil soul to open it.

It was just that there was someone here right now, so she didn't experiment with it.

Rong Hua looked at the corpse, she searched for a while before asking Xiao Hong to take it away and destroy it.

As the three gradually woke up, Rong Hua immediately pounced on the uncle. "Uncle, you can't die. Those two damned bastards actually wanted to kill the uncle after swallowing all the antlers. Wuwuwu …

The three of them were stunned as they slowly woke up. When they saw the man lying on the ground with a pale face and a chest covered in blood, they immediately believed Rong Hua's words.

One of them stood up and asked, "Kid, where is King Lu?"

Rong Hua wiped away her tears and said, "The Deer King ran away, so they chased after him."

"Which way?" one of them asked.

Rong Hua pointed randomly in one direction: "Over there."

The three of them quickly gave chase.

The man's mouth twitched as he looked at Rong Hua, "You …"

"Don't talk, your injuries are very serious, let's go back and recuperate." Rong Hua smiled.

The man nodded.

Rong Hua helped the man walk a long way until they were out of the range of the wild deer herd.

"Why do you want to keep it for yourself? They will also be suspicious after the mission is handed in. " The man said.

Rong Hua said with a laugh, "Deer horns are good stuff. Rather than giving them to others, it's better to keep them for yourself."

"But the antler is useless in our hands. Only the pharmacist can concoct the complement medicine." The man looked at Rong Hua with a complicated expression.

"Complement Potion? Isn't that supposed to replenish metal type attack power? " Rong Hua really didn't think that these antlers could be used to refine medicine. Looks like she still has a lot of things to learn.
