Chapter 2 Family (Part 1)

A noise came from the front yard. Zhou Tian's ears moved slightly. He heard a clear voice from it. He immediately knew that it was his elder brother who was out of the city to hunt. Thinking of Zhou Hao, who was four years older than him, a warm smile appeared on Zhou Tian's face.

The eldest brother Zhou Hao has always cared for his younger brother very much and has always protected him since he was a child. Whenever he was bullied outside, Zhou Hao would always seek revenge on those who had conflicts with him, and use his fists to warn those who provoke Zhou Tian that he would not bully his younger brother in the future. Even if he was injured many times, if he encountered such a thing again, Zhou Hao would still stand up without hesitation and support his younger brother.

Ting, Ting, Ting... A strong and powerful footsteps came. A young man with a skin that was slightly darkened by the sun, but faintly radiated like oil. He was full of strong muscles and a heroic face stepped in from the moon gate of the garden. He saw Zhou Tian next to the rockery and smiled happily: "Hahaha, A Tian, ​​I knew you would be here. I don't know what the sunset looks good, it's worth seeing every day."

The heroic boy came to Zhou Tian's face in a few steps, grabbed Zhou Tian's wrist, "Let's go and see what good things I've brought you back by brother." He didn't allow Zhou Tian to react any other way while speaking, and pulled Zhou Tian and turned around and walked out of the garden.

"Brother, I don't know how to walk, so I'm tugging you? I can't help but hold my little arms and legs." Zhou Tian struggled with the wrist held by his elder brother Zhou Hao and smiled at Zhou Hao. In fact, Zhou Hao knew that his younger brother was weak, and the force on the hand holding Zhou Tian's wrist was not strong. Zhou Tian said this just a joke.

When Zhou Hao pulled Zhou Tian's arm, his sword eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, and a hint of pain rose on his face. Then he let go of Zhou Tian's wrist and smiled: "Okay, then you can follow me by yourself. Brother, I'll get back a good thing today, an adult flaming tiger. That's a big tonic. Then let my mother make tiger bone soup for you to make your little body stronger soon."

Although Zhou Hao's strange color flashed, he was still captured by Zhou Tian, ​​who was keen to perceive and sensitive. Zhou Tian's face changed slightly. The Flame Tiger is a second-level monster, which is comparable to the level of a medium-level warrior of humans. Moreover, because monsters and humans have physical advantages in nature, they usually have to surpass human warriors of the same level in terms of strength and speed. When fighting, human warriors of the same level are usually no match for monsters. If human warriors want to hunt monsters, they usually rely on a large number of people or have strength one or two levels higher than monsters.

The eldest brother Zhou Hao's strength is very clear. Zhou Tian is not yet at the level of the sixth level of human rank. He has not yet entered the level of a superior warrior. Although this strength is the leader among the younger generation in Tieshan City, it does not have any advantage against the Flame Tiger. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of life. In order to hone yourself, Zhou Hao always hunts alone and does not bring any guards. In other words, Zhou Hao relies entirely on his own strength to hunt the Flame Tiger, which is not weak or even slightly higher than his. The risks can be imagined.

Zhou Tian looked at Zhou Hao carefully and found that the clothes Zhou Hao was wearing were no longer the ones he wore when he went out to hunt in the morning. Zhou Tian naturally knew about his elder brother Zhou Hao's character. Zhou Hao was keen on martial arts and never cared about things outside martial arts. Usually, after returning from hunting, even if his clothes were dirty and damaged, he would not be replaced immediately. But today it was a big deal, so there was only one reason. The reason why Zhou Hao changed his clothes first and came to him after he came back was that he must have concealed something and didn't want him to know.

With the fleeting pain on Zhou Hao's face before, Zhou Tian immediately understood what his elder brother Zhou Hao was hiding from him. A touch of emotion flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes, and it was not cleared. Some things were understood between brothers. He had an unaware of them on his face, and he still talked and laughed and went out of the back garden with Zhou Hao, and went to the front yard to see Zhou Hao's prey that he had been hunted back.

With the eldest brother Zhou Hao coming out, Zhou Tian met with escorts along the way to look at Zhou Hao who was walking in front. Although the Zhou family is one of the three major families in Tieshan City, the family was founded for a short time and the population in the mansion was not large. The family's direct descendants were the head Zhou Yunshan, the mistress Zhang Yalan, and the two sons Zhou Hao and Zhou Tian. Even the guards who guarded the safety and the servants who served were all together, only more than one hundred people.

Because the number of people is small, the news spreads quickly. In just a short while, the news that Zhou Hao hunted a second-level monster, the Flame Tiger, alone had already spread throughout the mansion. At the age of only seventeen, he was able to hunt a second-level monster alone. This kind of strength was not much that adults in Tieshan City could do, and it was unattainable among the younger generation, so everyone could not be respected.

When the eldest brother Zhou Hao came to the front yard, Zhou Tian saw the tiger corpse lying on the bluestone floor at a glance. It was a huge tiger with a body of about one meter long. The fur was yellow and red, and the black and brown stripes were all over it. The fur was shiny and shiny, and it looked like colorful brocade. On this brocade, there were several obvious wounds, which were blurred blood, and even some wounds could faintly see white bones. The dried blood stains tangled the nearby fur together.

Zhou Tian's eyes moved, and he saw a huge gap caused by a sharp weapon on the lower abdomen of the tiger, which was covered with fine white fluff. Obviously, it was the real fatal trauma. If his tender belly was not severely damaged, he would not have died easily with the powerful vitality of the second-level monster, the Flame Tiger.

Without looking at the injuries deliberately covered by the elder brother Zhou Hao, just looking at the many traumas on the tiger's body, Zhou Tian can imagine how fierce the battle between Zhou Hao and this flaming tiger was. The fatal wounds on the tiger's belly made Zhou Tian feel a little scared. From the location of this fatal wound, we can infer how dangerous the elder brother Zhou Hao was once in.

"Brother..." Zhou Tian could only barely exhaled two words, his nose was sour and his eyes were slightly red. His throat seemed to be suddenly blocked, and he couldn't say the rest.

Zhou Hao beside him seemed to see Zhou Tian’s thoughts, patted Zhou Tian on the shoulder, and comforted with a smile: “Haha, what are you doing, brother, am I okay? Besides, the road of martial arts practice has never been smooth, and you will always encounter dangers of one kind or another. I am just trying to temper myself. If I had not experienced the experience of life and death, how could I go further on the road of martial arts? Okay, don’t think too much. You have been thinking too much since childhood. If you only think about eating and practicing martial arts for a day like your elder brother, your body might have been better off long ago.”

At this time, Zhou Chang, the old housekeeper in the mansion, came forward to Zhou Hao and asked: "Master, is the body of this Fiery Tiger cleaned up by the servants, or is it up to you?"

Usually, Zhou Hao's prey was picked up by a special person to clean up the ready-made ingredients, and then handed over to the chef in the mansion to prepare and deliver it to Zhou Tian and his family to enjoy. However, sometimes Zhou Hao encountered prey that he was very happy, and he would take it into his own hands to decompose and retrieve the materials. Therefore, Zhou Chang had this question.

Zhou Hao said, "Brother Chang, I'm a little tired. Let the flame tiger be handed over to the servants to clean up. After cleaning up, I'll send precious materials such as tiger bones, tiger whips, tiger tendons and other precious materials to my mother, and she will arrange it. The remaining tiger meat will be sent to the kitchen."

Although Zhou Chang's surname is Zhou, he actually has no blood connection with the Zhou family. It is said that he was an orphan. Zhou Tian's grandfather was brought back from outside when Zhou Yunshan, the head of the Zhou family, was not yet born. When Zhou Chang was still a child, he began to serve Zhou Yunshan under the arrangement of Grandpa Zhou Tian. He was a serious veteran in the Zhou family. Although he was a servant, the Zhou family respected him very much. Zhou Yunshan even told Zhou Hao and Zhou Tian that the two sons of Zhou Tian should be called uncle.

"I know, my eldest son." Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Hao, his eyes full of relief. Zhou Chang has been in the Zhou family for many years, and Zhou Hao and Zhou Tian grew up by Zhou Chang. Since Zhou Chang has never married and has no children, the two young masters Zhou Hao and Zhou Tian are actually like his own children in his heart. He was also sincerely happy to see that Zhou Hao can have the ability to hunt second-level monsters at the age of seventeen.
