The night passed quickly, and the next day, when it was dark, Lu Chen got up from the bed.
Picking up the iron sword, washing his body, Lu Chen strode towards the Western Mountain.
"There is no need to go out at night. During the day today, we can hunt a few more wild beasts. We will go to the dense forest first and then to the Black Lake."
Lu Chen, who felt the crisis due to the strange situation, had no intention of relaxing and was planning to hunt now.
While walking, Lu Chen also planned the route of action based on the information given by Uncle Da Zhuang.
This is necessary. Unlike other villagers who rely on traps to hunt wild beasts, Lu Chen is slow. If he wants to succeed in hunting, he can only deal with wild beasts that cannot run.
Most wild beasts have territories. In order to hunt quickly, Lu Chen had to plan a route.
However, after leaving the village, Lu Chen quickly discovered something strange.
A group of women in the village, under the protection of the barbarian men, headed towards the Western Mountain.
Such a scene made Lu Chen a little curious. He grabbed someone and asked, "Why are you all going to Xishan? What activities are there today?"
The woman who was pulled wanted to say something, but when she saw it was Lu Chen, a smile appeared on her face. Then, she respectfully said to Lu Chen: "Sir, don't you know?"
"Does it have something to do with me?"
"Of course, your lord killed the fire ox. We followed Master Wu Zhu's order to go to the fire ox's territory to search for medicinal materials and food."
The woman didn't say much, but Lu Chen was not stupid. Soon, he thought of something.
"The fire bull is nothing to me, but its nearly invulnerable and tough cowhide, as well as its special attacks that can set fire, still pose a great threat to ordinary barbarians."
"At the same time, ordinary swords, bows and arrows cannot penetrate the skin of the fire bull, which makes it not afraid of group attacks, and the village cannot organize a team to hunt it."
"All of this allows the fire bull to run unscrupulously in its territory, while ordinary barbarians usually dare not approach it."
"However, although the Fire Bull was raging in that territory, it also protected the supplies in that territory, whether it was animals, medicinal materials, or other edible things, because there were no barbarians to plunder them.
The area is well maintained.”
"In the past, when the fire cattle existed, the tribesmen were worried about the threat of the fire cattle and did not dare to collect them. But now, after I have cleared out the fire cattle, other tribesmen can safely and boldly take the unexploited materials into their pockets.
Already."
With a little information and his own wisdom, Lu Chen quickly figured out the whole story.
Obviously, that area has just lost its protector, so it is a good opportunity to search. Now and then, as long as you are not too lazy, you can easily obtain food and medicinal materials.
Lu Chen's guess was right. Along the way, Lu Chen found that many people had returned home with large and small bags of things.
At the same time, when those people saw Lu Chen, no matter who they were, they would bow their heads respectfully and say hello to Lu Chen.
They were thanking Lu Chen for giving them a chance.
And looking at the figures of those people carrying large and small bags of supplies, Lu Chen had to sigh, there are indeed too many benefits to having a strong man in the village.
"A strong person can protect the village, eliminate threats around the village, and expand the hunting range of the village. As long as a village has strong people, it can easily develop."
"For this reason, the barbarians also worship the strong. After all, the strong is the protector of the village."
While thinking in his mind, Lu Chen's movements were not slow.
Lu Chen, who was walking quickly, quickly entered Xishan. After following the group of people for a while, Lu Chen turned around and headed in another direction.
Looking at Lu Chen's movements, especially the direction in which Lu Chen was walking, the eyes of those barbarians suddenly lit up.
"Lord Achen, are you going to clean up other savage beasts?"
"The ancestors have blessed us, and we must bless Ah Chen to succeed!"
"If Master Achen can clear a few safe areas, we will be better off this winter."
"Who says it's not the case, but isn't it too dangerous for Master Achen to do this?"
…
Lu Chen was not very clear about other people's discussions and blessings.
And even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. He cleaned up the beasts not for the sake of his tribe, but to improve his own experience value and obtain the flesh and blood of the beasts.
Lu Chen strode forward and quickly reached his destination.
Without any thought of caution, Lu Chen held an iron sword in his hand and brutally chopped off everything along the way. Whether it was a big tree or a vine, everything in front of Lu Chen was cleared away.
Just like this, like a bulldozer, Lu Chen was rumbling forward.
Lu Chen had no choice but to do this. He knew nothing about hunting or sneak attacks.
If you rashly follow the example of other hunters and lurk cautiously, you will easily be discovered by the prey during the lurking action and be attacked by surprise.
After all, the savage beast that lives in the wild all year round is definitely better than Lu Chen in terms of hidden hunting skills.
Therefore, Lu Chen simply stopped making any false claims and just made the situation louder and let the savage beast appear.
Of course, although Lu Chen acted a little recklessly, he was never stupid. When he was advancing arrogantly, his attention was always on the surroundings, looking for dangers around him.
What made Lu Chen frown was that his intuition did feel that there was danger around him.
But the danger was moving quickly around him. All of this made Lu Chen aware of the danger, but he could not find any trace of the prey.
After clearing the road for a long time and entering the center of the dense forest, Lu Chen's progress suddenly stopped.
Then, the iron sword swept across, and Lu Chen swept away all the vines and big trees around him. Then, he closed his eyes and rested in the middle of the empty land.
Lu Chen was waiting for the wild beast to attack.
"My actions have already attracted the savage beast. Unless the savage beast feels outmatched and is ready to escape, it will inevitably appear when I invade its territory."
With this thought in mind, Lu Chen waited quietly.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes, half an hour...
Soon, an hour passed, and Lu Chen, who was standing there, couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Did he run away? Alas, I was a bit unlucky to meet a careful beast."
Lu Chen had made predictions about the beast's escape. Unfortunately, Lu Chen's detection skills only had an intuitive sense based on the sky, and he did not have the skills to move quickly.
In this way, he has no way to stop the savage beast that wants to escape.
"Fortunately, I'm just here to kill wild beasts and gain experience points. I'm not here to kill one special beast. I can still kill others."
With this thought in mind, Lu Chen held the iron sword in hand and left the place, preparing to head towards the second location.
"I don't believe it. This one ran away cowardly, and the others are still so cowardly."
However, just when Lu Chen left the open space and walked into the dense forest, suddenly, a violent sound breaking through the air sounded from above Lu Chen's head.
Looking up, Lu Chen found a dark green giant mantis, like a god of death, falling from the sky waving its two-meter-long sharp forelimbs.
Looking at the mantis's hard forelimbs covered with spikes and its attack direction, Lu Chen had no doubt that he would die if the forelimb hit his neck.
"Savage beasts are indeed not to be underestimated. They can lurk for a long time, attack suddenly, and possess extremely fast speed and sharp forelimbs. All these make you like the god of death lurking in the shadows. No wonder the village gave you the code name
, it’s the Deathwing Mantis.”
The moment the mantis pounced down, Lu Chen had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he had no fear.
"Your speed is indeed very fast, and your attacks are very concealed. In terms of sneak attacks and quick kills, I can't catch up with you no matter what, but I have control skills!"
