The end result of the battle was tiger managing to win the fight using it speed and agility and killed the bear.
Hunter Gu watch is shock as the tiger claw directly rip open the bear head and take out marble size uneven surfaced yellow stone.
The tiger directly toss the stone away and start feasting on the bear meat. Once, it had eaten it fill with just one tap of it claws on the bear corpse.
The whole corpse turn into ice statue, this can prevent the meat from rotting anytime soon the tiger slowly drag away the bear.
The hunter slowly walk toward the large crater which had been formed when the bear collapse on ground with trembling body.
He wipe his sweat from his forward thanking the heaven for the beasts not being intersted in eating him and pick the stone that the tiger had toss away.
He stuff the stone inside his pocket and continue walking ahead. But his actions of taking the stone end up being wrong very very wrong...
Hunter Gu find himself running away from the very large serpent with brown skin and menacing eyes.
The ground under his feet will suddenly either crack or sharp spikes will came out trying to impale him.
At first he didn't know how he had offended this beast. But the beast seem to be not very intelligent as it gaze are fixed on his pocket.
Even if hunter Gu don't realise that he will be the one with less IQ. He immediately take out the yellow stone and throw it away.
The serpent immediately give it a chase. Hunter Gu that moment realise that both serpent and bear could manipulate earth.
The tiger toss away the stone cause it manipulate ice. So, it didn't need the yellow stone belonging to the bear.
But the serpent who could manipulate earth like the bear. The stone seem to be very important to it.
At this point even he had realised that touching anything from the beast here will result into him being chased around.
He might as well as stick to his plan of reaching the top of mountains. It took him three weeks to climb to the top.
In these weeks, he had manage to gather enough courage to eat fruit from the tree. He still don't dare to hunt the beast.
Actually, it's not like he don't dare. It just his arrow couldn't pierce throw the thick hides of the beast here.
So, the only thing he could do was either gather fruits and wild vegetables or catch fish from the river.
Unlike the ground beasts, the water beasts still are easy to handle as long as they are out of the water.
So, that how he manage to survive for the three weeks in the mountains. Now, he's almost at the top of mountains.
While, walking he suddenly notice that the area had become wide open. With no beasts on sight.
The moment he leave the dense trees and reach the open area. He was shock by the sight infront of him.
Infront of him stood a gaint tree with the trunk so thick that one can run whole lap around it.
It's barks shift colours slowly between black, crimson, and gold as through countless beings flow beneath the surface.
The branches stretch across the sky like rivers, while glowing roots disappear endlessly in ground.
That's not the most shocking thing, the most shocking thing is that he can't even see the end of the tree.
The top part of the tree seem to be hidden in the cloud, not visible from the ground. Hunter Gu was so overwhelmed by the aura rediant from the tree, that he pass out right there.
Soon, he was woken up by the faint heart beat like pulses travelling across the trunk to his ears.
He felt like the tree is alive and concious. Continuously watching him, this made him too scared to even move from his spot.
As he was about to directly run away, he seen to have hear sound of rustling. His body stiffen he cautiously look around.
But didn't find anyone around him. As he sign in relief, suddenly someone or something tap on his shoulder.
His body stiffen, his heart stop and like robot he slowly turn around and saw root swaying infront of his eyes.
Before he can even scream out of fear and terror. The root directly knock shove something in it mouth and bury itself back in the ground.
Hunter Gu stay seated there few sec trying to process everything then he... pass out directly.
When he woke up, he wasn't near the tree anymore rather laying on the middle of the road which connect the Qinghe city to the nearby town.
He stay on the ground for few seconds, he desperately want to believe everything that had happened was a dream.
But the memories inside his mind of someone named Xuan Li and various bloodline tree is deeply rooted in his mind.
No matter how much he try to forget it. He continue remembering it with clear and precise vision.
He took few deep breath and stood up, telling his feet decide whether he go. He soon end up walking down the streets of Qinghe city.
He used some of his money to drink inside tavern, telling everyone what he had seen. But everyone just laugh at him not believing.
In the end, someone suggest "if you really had seen the immortal blood falling in different place and trees sprouting from there, can you create a map"
The person had spoken in amusement and drunken state. No one expect the hunter to actually buy some paper and ink.
He create totally of twenty maps and show them in the tavern next day. Everyone present were stunt but still everyone thought that he's trying to make his story convincing.
But there are few people who become intersted in the map and but them on the spot.
In the end, hunter Gu started selling those map buy, some didn't. But his business attract attention.
People kick him out of the tavern, which was the scene Princess Jiuling and her maids stumble upon.
