Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)
"There seems to be a spherical hollow in my body... um, how can I feel it so clearly, is this real or fake? It's really strange!"
A Feng said with surprise and uncertainty.
The old man smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. The power of the ten wheels can indeed be produced. Ah Feng, don't be surprised. This is the wheel storage space. After the power of the ten wheels, it will be produced. Hmm, how big is your wheel storage space?"
A Feng carefully sensed it and said: "At most as big as an adult's fist, huh? What is a wheel storage space?"
The old man said, "The wheel storage space is currently of no significance to you. It will only be useful when you reach the power of ten thousand wheels. At that time, the spherical wheel storage space in your body can have a diameter of about two feet and can hold some things. When you become a Mysterious Wheel Master, the diameter can reach one meter, and you can store quite a few things. Hehe, so don't worry too much about the wheel storage space in your body now, it's too small to hold anything."
A Feng was shocked, "Is there something stored inside? Beyond his imagination, he said: 'One meter in diameter... won't it burst the body?' He completely didn't understand."
The old man burst out laughing and said, "That's impossible, external objects can't be materialized." After some thought, he added, "Actually, it is still possible to put in a few things, such as extremely fine gears that can be stored in the wheel storage space."
A Feng heard something new and said: "Lun Qi?"
The old man said, "Yes, the wheel is a weapon for those with wheel power. Of course, the wheel also has attributes, such as you being a thunder wheel power, you must use a thunder wheel, absolutely cannot use a fire wheel, and of course, it's not possible."
"Just having the wheel is not enough, you also need to know how to use it. There are many ways to use it, and among them, there are two most important ones. One is to directly use the wheel power, through the combination of wheel powers, to enhance the might of the wheel power. The other is to use a wheel device, which can carry your wheel power and amplify its effect."
A Feng said: "Ah, old man, this... where can I get a wheel?" He looked at the old man with great expectation.
The old man said, "As for the wheel equipment, one type is to refine it using one's own wheel power. This isn't difficult; anyone who possesses wheel power can refine their own wheel equipment. Of course, they need to find suitable materials. There are many methods of refinement, some simple and others special or extremely difficult. The simple ones are very easy, while the difficult ones... require a certain amount of luck. Apart from finding a method of refinement, one also needs to find corresponding materials."
"For example, this is a kind of wheel."
An old man held a needle in his hand, a black needle about the size of a large sewing needle. He said, "A Thunder Needle, can only be used once, activated by spinning force."
A Feng reached out to take it, curiously looking at the black needle body, with a few strands of silver fluff stuck on it. This thin needle weighed several taels. He asked: "How do you use it?"
The old man said a few words, and Ah Feng exclaimed in surprise: "Is that all? Can it be done just by stimulating it? Can we kill the fierce cow?"
Wild aurochs are good things, and every part of their body is precious. The horns of wild aurochs can be used to make bows, the meat can be eaten, and the taste of wild auroch meat is extremely delicious. Most importantly, the skin of wild aurochs is an essential material for making hunter's leather armor. In this region, this thing is hard currency. Wild aurochs have a sturdy build, and one wild auroch can weigh several tons. Once they start running, even large trees with thick trunks can be knocked down. Even the barbarians may need several people to dare to hunt wild aurochs.
As for the hunters of Huyabao, if they didn't gather dozens of hunters and set traps, they wouldn't dare to take action. So in Ah Feng's mind, the wild cattle were extremely ferocious animals, although not carnivores, but also not easy to mess with. Even though he had acquired considerable strength in this life, enough to leave a mark on hard rocks with one punch, he understood even more the ferocity of the local wildlife.
The old man shook his head and said, "You're already different from ordinary people. The fierce cow can't threaten you... If you use explosive needles to deal with the fierce cow, haha, that's a waste. I only have four explosive needles here, leave them for self-defense, don't use them unless absolutely necessary. I no longer have the skill to condense explosive needles."
A Feng held four explosive needles and said: "Can this be put into the wheel storage space?" His wheel storage space was extremely small, but putting four explosive needles should not be a problem.
The old man nodded and said: "You can try it out, put the explosive needle into the wheel storage space."
A Feng stared intently at the explosive needle in his hand, and suddenly had an epiphany. The explosive needle in his hand vanished, and he clearly knew that a new explosive needle had appeared in the Wheel Storage Space. He couldn't explain why, but he was certain that the explosive needle was now in the space. Then, just as quickly, the needle reappeared in his hand. Soon, he became proficient at storing and releasing it, laughing: "This is indeed a great thing for a sly person like me!"
Even if he was caught by others, no one could find the explosive needles. At a critical moment, this thing can save lives. So A Feng carefully put away the explosive needles and said: "How is this thing refined?" He thought that if he could refine it himself, once a battle occurred, a handful of explosive needles would be very useful.
The old man said: "Bomb Thunder Needle... you can't refine it yet, without the power of a thousand wheels, don't even think about it. After the power of a hundred wheels, you can refine your own wheel instrument. At this time, you're still not good enough, but you don't have to rush either. According to your cultivation speed, the power of a hundred wheels should be reached soon."
"The power of a hundred wheels... is the first bottleneck for a small wheel master, the power of a thousand wheels and ten thousand wheels are all cultivation bottlenecks, don't worry about these for now, let's talk about it as we cultivate."
A Feng didn't mind, he said: "A Ye, it's almost winter, if we don't go hunting now, this winter...we'll have a hard time, I've been preparing for the past few days, I plan to go hunting with the hunters in the fort."
The old man said, "Yes, for the first hunt, you can follow the hunters in the fort together. Later on, it's better if you hunt alone, because...you are already a Wheel Master, not an ordinary person. As someone who possesses wheel power, you must have your own pride and dignity."
A Feng nodded his head, he somewhat understood the old man's meaning, and said: "I need to learn some common sense about hunting, then I'll go hunting by myself."
"The old man said: 'Go back, from now on, as long as you are in Huyabao, you can come here to cultivate.'"
……
Huyabao has two main surnames, one is Hu and the other is Ke. Except for the A Feng family, most of Huyabao are these two surnames.
As for Ah Feng's family, their surname is Lei and they are outsiders. Ah Feng's full name is Lei Xingfeng, the old man is called Lei Bao, and the little girl Yaya's name is Lei Xingyao. Actually, the old man had given Ah Feng the name Lei Xingfeng, which literally means "crazy star". However, since Ah Feng's father strongly opposed it, they changed the name to Lei Xingfeng instead. What a good kid with a name that means "crazy", this is also not normal, and the old man didn't insist on it either, so it was decided like this.
Huyabao has more than a dozen hunting teams, with at least three people forming a team. The number of strong hunters is small, and the number of weak hunters is large.
Lei Xingfeng had been cultivating for several days, and the wheel power in his body had already reached over 30 wheels. He could basically increase his strength by 10 wheels every day, causing his power to rise extremely quickly. He eagerly found Ke Dashi and wanted to join their hunting team.
Ke Uncle, named Ke Dashi, is a kind and simple man. His hunting skills are well-known in Hu Yanbao. He is the leader of the three-man team and has always taken good care of Lei Xingfeng, so Lei Xingfeng wants to join Ke Uncle's team at the first opportunity.
This team has extremely rich hunting experience and is very familiar with this area. Ke Daxiong is also a very kind person, and Lei Xingfeng has always admired him greatly.
These days, Lei Bo brought his granddaughter Lei Xingyao and rushed to make a leather armor for Lei Xingfeng.
The leather armor is made very delicate, mainly consisting of a breastplate, two arm guards, a pair of deep waist leather boots, the top of the boots can directly protect the knees, and a leather strap that ties up the long hair on the forehead.
A Feng put it on, and instantly looked like a different person, exuding an aura of murder. Lei Xingyao tilted her head to examine him for a moment before nodding in satisfaction, then helped A Feng insert a dagger into the leather scabbard on one side of his boot, and also helped tie up his long hair with a leather strap.
The old man carried a leather backpack in one hand and held a black longbow in the other.
"Afeng exclaimed in surprise: "I use this bow?""
This black longbow was made by the old man, and in Ah Feng's memory, the old man had been making this longbow for at least four years or more, intermittently, as long as there were materials, he would make it until last year when it was finally completed. At that time, Ah Feng had not yet cultivated his wheel power, and had tried to pull the black longbow once, but couldn't even budge it, and didn't know how much strength it took to pull this black bow.
The old man said: "The bow you used to practice is too weak, it can only shoot some ordinary animals, when encountering fierce beasts, it won't work, this bow can exert your current strength."
Lei Xingfeng happily said: "Ah, do you think I can use this bow now?" He deeply knew how much effort and time the old man had spent on this bow, and in his heart, he still had high expectations for it.
Lei Xingyao bit her finger and said: "Brother, try it... see if you can pull it?"
A Feng nodded, trying to string the bow. The bowstring was made from a combination of buffalo tendon and spider silk, with two strings in total - one for backup and one for use. It was very easy to string the bow, and A Feng knew that his strength had increased greatly. In the past, he had also strung the bow several times, but it had been extremely laborious. Now, he easily secured the bowstring onto the black bow.
With a light pluck of the bowstring, a buzzing sound was emitted. Ah Feng had been practicing archery for a long time, starting from the age of six with a small bow, and by sixteen, his marksmanship was extremely high. However, he had always been unable to use a real hard bow, and this black bow was even more abnormal - previously, he couldn't even pull it full, let alone aim and shoot.
With a bit of force, the black bow was drawn open, instantly reaching full draw. Releasing his fingers, he heard a loud "twang", like the sound of metal clashing, "Ding!"
