Chapter 12: Learn from Bei Ye
Here's the next day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After a brief adaptation yesterday, Akai and I are ready to explore this new world gradually. The more vibrant grassland is sparsely scattered with some towering trees, visible to the naked eye, and some animals are playing there under the trees.
Or in the shade, or chasing each other and playing.
After polishing the iron greatsword yesterday, it was too bulky to carry, so it was hidden. Akai still went out with a bow and arrows, and I was light, carrying only some food and bread made from wheat in my backpack.
The bread is not very delicious, and it is not as crispy as the original world that has been processed through various processes, but it has pure natural materials that the bread of the original world cannot match.
Because it's just wheat bread, the taste of ears of wheat is full in the mouth.
After putting three portions of wheat on the workbench, the bread that was served five minutes later through the workbench had a fragrant aroma that we couldn't wait to eat, and then we took a sip of cooled boiled water from the bucket next to us and drank it.
Now, with enough bread and some jerky for two days' worth of food, I set out to explore the grasslands.
The bread didn't taste very good, but we ate it anyway, not for any reason, because we had been eating meat for two weeks in a row.
Akai carried his bow and arrows behind his back, and the quiver hung around his waist, so that he could pick up the bow and shoot it at any time. I put all my things in my backpack and held a two-meter-long wooden stick in my hand as a means of transportation.
We should always be careful when walking on the grassland, although we can walk freely because there were no creatures on the grassland in the past, but now because of the variety of animals in the world, in order to avoid encountering any fierce beasts, we walk carefully.
There are many animals in the grassland, no, it should be said that there are many kinds of creatures living in the grassland. There will certainly be no shortage of carnivores such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Of course, as a ration for these carnivores, that is, herbivores, are also essential.
"Hey, Akai, look, which one is not a cow?" Akai pointed to the slowly moving creatures very far away.
Because the distance is too far, I can only see the outline that is a little larger than the black dot, and Akai has strengthened his bow and arrow skills, so his eyesight is naturally much better than mine.
"I don't know, probably, I'll talk about it when we get closer." I looked at the creature in the distance, and it was a small black dot moving in my eyes.
"Oh." Akai agreed, then put his hand on the bow and arrow behind his back, pulled the quiver on his waist, and continued to walk forward with me.
When walking on the savannah, be sure to prevent getting lost. Getting lost in the prairie and getting lost in the desert is extremely dangerous.
Just as getting lost in the desert can make you lose water and get out of the water, just as getting lost in the middle of the savannah makes you less likely to survive.
To prevent this from happening, I make a mark every time I pass the distance, as before.
I took almost all the stones out of my house, and only a few were left in my house.
"Shhh Suddenly, I hurriedly beckoned Akai to squat, and I crouched in an overgrown area.
"What's wrong?" Akai was pulled behind me and crouched down, and then asked me puzzled, while his eyes looked in the direction I was staring.
"Be quiet, look over there." I pointed to an unidentified creature not far away and said to Akai.
It was a gray goat, with a rectangular body that writhed as the goat lowered its head to graze, and it looked very weird, but we were all used to the block world, so we automatically ignored this detail.
It was recognized as a goat because it had two white conical horns on its head, but since the goat did not have a beard on its chin, it was a female sheep.
After the world has undergone more animal renewals, I have tried to recall some information about more animals as I try to remember, including, of course, goats, which are almost second only to the ubiquitous sparrows and birds.
Goats are neutral creatures with a docile temperament, and can be lured and tamed with food. Goats are miscellaneous animals, and although they spend most of their time eating grass, they don't mind going up and licking even rotting food if there are animal carcasses around. It can be said that the digestive system of goats is quite powerful.
"Akai, it's up to you." I looked at the goat out of the corner of my eye, and then I looked at Akai. Because I know that goats are very vigilant, and even the animals that live in the savannah are very vigilant in order to survive, even if they are docile. If I keep watching, I will be forced to see by the keen senses of animals.
"Got it, but we need to get closer, and there's no guarantee I'll hit it from such a distance." Akai estimated the distance and found that he was out of range of what he could hit 100 percent. In order to increase the chance, you can only get closer.
"Well, move slowly, be careful not to make loud noises." I crawled on the ground and watched the goat through the grass.
Akai prepared his bow and arrows and slowly moved in the direction of the goat, leaning against the cover of the dense weeds.
Thank you for spring, it is the season of growth, and the grass on the grassland can cover almost half of our bodies.
If it weren't for the goat's conspicuous color, a gray dot protruding from a green meadow, we wouldn't have been able to spot it.
There were no other animals around, or I hadn't seen any other animals yet, and Akai slowly approached the grazing goat as I watched nervously.
Suddenly, the goat's head was raised as it was grazing. My heart was shocked, and I hurriedly gestured to Akai to stop quickly. Akai also noticed the goat's vigilance, and his body movements slowed down.
After a long while, the goat finally lowered its head again to graze.
Akai continued to move forward, and by this time, Akai was only fifty meters away from the goat.
Today's Akai, after the addition of tenth-level bow and arrow skills, coupled with his own hard work, the bow and arrow in his hand can exert the maximum power and can ensure that the distance of hitting has reached a distance of thirty meters.
By the way, Akai was holding an iron bow in his hand.
In addition to more creatures, I upgraded my bow crafting options to more of them.
A tattered wooden bow will not satisfy us, only our weapons are more advanced in order to have greater lethality, and do more. So I chose more of a wide variety of bows and arrows.
This iron bow is upgraded from a wooden bow and arrow, the body of the wooden bow is plated with a layer of iron, and the bow body has become larger, free from the embarrassment of the short bow, and has great lethality. The bowstring has also been strengthened to shoot farther and the impact of the arrow is greater.
It's close, it's close...
Akai is finally starting to bend his bow, and the goats haven't noticed us yet, so it's a good opportunity!
I nodded, signaling that Akai was ready to attack.
Akai aimed his bow and arrow at the goat, and the bowstring was full.

"Huh~ I'm really tired, I have received a lot of goods and harvested a lot." Akai and I surrounded the corpse of a dead goat.
"Anyway, next week's food is here." Ordinary meat can be stored for two weeks, which means that if you put it in a backpack, if you put it on the ground, it will disappear within three days. Don't underestimate the scavengers' attachment to carcasses.
This situation should be much better as long as we make the ice cellar.
Another way to store meat is to bake it and dry it to keep it for a long time. But it's a long process. (After referring to the various settings of Don't Starve, I decided to write this.)
Just as Akai and I were joyfully trying to drag the dead goat home to break it down into pieces of meat (the carcass of an animal could only be turned into pieces of meat or steaks through the dismantling of the workbench, and could not be put into the backpack until then), a few howls could be heard faintly in the distance.
"What's that voice?" I suddenly felt bad.
"Looks like there's an uninvited guest coming..." Akai leaned down and said to me, "It seems that there are not many voices, should we ambush them?" β
"It's necessary, it's not okay for the prey to be robbed like this, and no matter what, it will make this group of uninvited guests pay some price."
Akai and I slowly stepped back, leaving behind the carcass of a goat.
