Early the next morning, Hei Pi brought the security team to the door.

At this time, Chen Yang was almost done tidying up at home, just waiting for Old Sun Head to arrive.

"Hei Pi, do you have contact information for Old Sun Head? Ask him when he's coming over." Seeing it was getting late, Chen Yang asked Hei Pi to make a call to check on Old Sun Head's status.

Hei Pi looked a bit embarrassed, "Old Sun Head doesn't usually use a mobile phone, I don't have his contact information."

"So what do we do, just stand here waiting foolishly?"

"Let's wait a bit longer, if he really doesn't show, I'll go to his house and check." Hei Pi said.

"Alright then."

Chen Yang nodded and then started organizing, moving the six iron cages in the backyard out first.

"Then let's not just stand around, let's move these things out first."

"Alright."

Hei Pi nodded and then led his men to help Chen Yang move all the iron cages out.

Just after they finished moving the cages, they saw from a distance Old Sun Head, clothed in a beast-skin coat, carrying an old-fashioned hunting rifle, walking towards them.

"Old Sun Head, you're finally here, if you hadn't come I would've gone to your house to look for you."

Hei Pi laughed at Old Sun Head.

Old Sun Head was lean, and carrying the rifle seemed somewhat unbalanced.

But his face bore a bright smile.

"I'm old now, walk slower, forgive me." Old Sun Head said with a smile.

"Haha, it's alright Old Sun Head, I'm already thankful you're here to help, wouldn't mind about these little things." Chen Yang laughed and replied.

Old Sun Head chuckled upon hearing this and didn't say more.

Chen Yang continued, "Old Sun Head, the cages you mentioned yesterday, I've had them customized, come and see if they're sturdy enough?"

"Sure."

Old Sun Head noticed the iron cages placed nearby.

He walked over in a few steps and inspected them carefully.

Finally, he patted the cages with satisfaction and nodded, "Mm-hmm, very good, catching a couple of tigers won't be a problem."

Hearing Old Sun Head's assurance, Chen Yang and Hei Pi were relieved.

When carrying the cages in the morning, they had worried the sturdiness might be insufficient for capturing.

"Since the cages are fine, let's set off, get to the mountain early while it's not too hot." Chen Yang said.

"Alright, let's go."

Old Sun Head wasn't one for many words, nodded and led the way.

Chen Yang and Hei Pi, carrying the cages, followed behind.

The cages were extremely heavy, the smaller ones weighing seventy to eighty pounds, the larger ones about a hundred, almost two hundred pounds.

For Chen Yang, two hundred pounds was nothing.

He easily carried one by himself.

The remaining cages were carried by Hei Pi and his team, two or three people to a cage, up the mountain.

The iron cages were heavy and not easy to carry.

But Hei Pi's team were young and strong, and managed to keep up with Old Sun Head into the mountains.

Walking in the mountains, Old Sun Head shared a lot of hunting knowledge with Chen Yang and Hei Pi.

"Tigers, you see, seldom move around during the day, usually waiting till night, especially in this hot weather, they usually just lay near water sources. We set traps near those and are sure to catch them." Old Sun Head said with a smile.

Chen Yang knew he couldn't match Old Sun Head's hunting experience, so he followed his lead.

"Old Sun Head, what about bears? I encountered one in the western woods during broad daylight last time, it was ferocious." Hei Pi was engrossed and instinctively asked Old Sun Head.

Old Sun Head walked on ahead, not turning back as he answered, "Bears are hard to track, but once you find their den, they're actually quite easy to catch. It depends on our luck today."

"Oh, I see."

Hei Pi seemed to understand something and nodded, then fell silent and continued to follow Old Sun Head.

The group carried the cages through the mountains for over an hour.

They arrived in the depths of the mountains.

Going further would take them to where beasts roamed.

Reaching this point, Old Sun Head didn't hurry forward, but turned back, suggesting to Chen Yang that they sit and rest for a while.

Actually, Chen Yang had already had this thought.

He wasn't tired, but Hei Pi and the others were exhausted.

Carrying heavy cages through dense forests took a toll on both physical strength and endurance.

It wasn't something ordinary people could handle.

"Alright, let's sit and rest for a while, everyone is tired." Chen Yang nodded and said.

Upon hearing that it was time for a break, Hei Pi and the others immediately put down the cages and found a shaded spot to sit and rest.

Some wiped away sweat, others drank water to catch their breath.

It seemed they were truly exhausted.

"Old Sun Head, isn't this spot about right? I often see beast traces when I move around here." Hei Pi took a swig of water and said.

Though Old Sun Head was slender, his stamina was remarkable.

He didn't carry anything, but being older, to have walked this far without panting was indeed rare.

"This place won't do, we need to go deeper, about two miles further there's a mountain spring. It's a must-pass for tigers and bears, placing cages there guarantees a good catch." Old Sun Head said while rolling a cigarette.

Hearing that there were two more miles to go, Hei Pi shook his head helplessly but didn't object, closed his eyes, and leaned against a tree to rest.

Others did the same, drinking water before closing their eyes to rest, clearly exhausted.

After resting for half an hour, the group set off again, carrying the cages deep into the mountains.

Chen Yang had been deep into the mountains several times and was familiar with the surroundings, so he wasn't particularly bothered.

However, Hei Pi and the others usually only stayed on the outskirts and were struggling as they suddenly ventured into denser woods.

They frequently got tangled in vines and such.

Making it an arduous journey.

The two-mile stretch, under normal circumstances, should take just twenty minutes.

But with constant troubles along the way, it took nearly an hour to reach Old Sun Head's destination, the clear mountain spring deep in the forest.

Upon reaching the spring, the group was utterly exhausted, dropping the cages and lying down on the spot, not wanting to move an inch.

Looking at Hei Pi and the others sprawled out, Old Sun Head chuckled, "Hei Pi, you've walked mountains for years but lack the stamina, look at Yang Zi, he's fine. You need to exercise more."

Hei Pi looked helpless in response.

It wasn't about his fitness, it was just that Chen Yang was abnormally strong!

Carrying a large cage this far was already quite impressive.

"Old Sun Head, don't say it like that, Yang Zi is one of a kind, there's no comparison between us." Hei Pi said.

"Indeed Old Sun Head, Brother Yang's strength is incomparable, don't compare us to him." Others chimed in, agreeing with Hei Pi's perspective.

Old Sun Head chuckled and said no more.

He had heard about Chen Yang's strength from the surrounding areas, knowing that Chen Yang couldn't be judged by normal standards.

Hei Pi and his group carrying the cages here was truly commendable.

Compared to the average person's strength and stamina, they were considerably stronger.

"You all rest here while Yang Zi and I go scout for suitable spots to place the cages." Old Sun Head didn't stop to rest because he hadn't been carrying anything, having just strolled leisurely.

Chen Yang, with his unique physicality, wasn't tired either.

"Alright, you go on ahead, we'll wait here for you." Hei Pi nodded in agreement.

Old Sun Head slightly nodded and then went off with Chen Yang to survey the surrounding terrain.
