Chapter 3: Bending the bow to shoot birds

"Akai, give me a manuscript. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, I'll look for it, give it." Picking up a new pickaxe from Akai, I continued to mine the mine.

Because the summer was so hot, Akai and I spent almost every day mining and exploring new mines.

In a few days, we had unknowingly stored nearly a group of iron ore and a large amount of coal.

Coal, to be honest, is not much different from charcoal, it is a kind of thing that can be burned as fuel, the only difference is that coal is a limited, non-renewable resource; Charcoal, on the other hand, is inexhaustible as long as you plant trees and cut trees diligently.

Speaking of charcoal, it reminds me of the small sapling that Akai and I planted at the beginning, which are still growing into stout trees, neatly arranged in rows to form a small forest.

"Ao, Akai, how much meat do we have in our house?" Due to Xiaobai's reasons, our meat consumption has decreased slightly faster, is Xiaobai growing his body?

"It doesn't seem to be much, I remember when I watched it yesterday, it was only enough for us to eat for a few days, I mean after counting Xiaobai." Akai calculated and found that the meat was consumed really quickly.

Nowadays, Xiaobai's role is to help us take care of the house, and when we go to the mine every day, we prepare two servings of food for Xiaobai, one lunch and one dinner. Xiaobai is also very sensible, when he is hungry, he goes to eat, and at home he either sleeps or wanders around until we come back in the evening.

But...

"It's not a good idea to keep going like this, it looks like we're going to stop and hunt for a few days." I sighed, crossed my waist with one hand, and put the half-used pickaxe into my backpack.

"That's all for today, let's go up."

"yes, well, it looks like I'm going to be out for a few days." Akai said and followed me.

Since we haven't been out farming at night lately, and we haven't gone out hunting, the number of arrows is still the same as after the zombie king.

The further you go to the ground, the higher the temperature gets.

――――Half an hour later――――

"Whew, it's finally here." The so-called going down the mountain is like diarrhea, and going up the mountain is like constipation.

After exerting my strength, I casually threw a low-level healing technique at Akai and myself to restore my strength.

"Oh~" Feeling the rapid recovery of his physical strength, Akai said with emotion: "This magic is really easy to use, and the legs are not so numb." ”

Glancing at Akai, I said, "It's a pity that the healing kind of magic consumes too much, and the recovery of magic power is so slow, so it is impossible to use it uncontrollably." "Looking at the 327 mana points I still have left after releasing two healing spells, I'm as distressed as ever.

"Ahh

"Oh hehe, yo hee yo xi." Akai and I stroked Xiaobai's head together.

"Xiaobai, we've been hunting outside these days." I know that Xiaobai understands what we say.

Sure enough, Xiaobai immediately became excited when he heard about hunting.

Wolves are always excited to be able to chase their prey, which is probably the nature of carnivores, and chasing prey is a pleasure.

"Hehe, it looks like you're happy." Akai said with a smile, "So, get ready, although the weather is very hot, this is also a good opportunity to hunt." ”

The hot summer has caused many animals to lose their vitality in spring, and those animals no longer jump around, in order to cope with the increasingly hot weather, they will choose to conserve as much energy and water as possible, and find a shady place to escape the harsh sun in the middle of the day.

You know, if you want to go to the river to drink, you have to risk your life, and the crocodiles in the river are no less dangerous than the big predators on the shore.

After spending a short time to revise and bring enough food and water for the day, Akai and Xiaobai and I officially set off.

"Hey, what's going on!!" I looked at the sky near my home with a pained look on my face.

Because of the meat I was drying on the rooftop of my house, I might have attracted those scavenging birds.

At this time, there was more than one voice in the sky.

Akai covered the sun with his hand and looked towards the sky.

"That's an eagle and a vulture fighting." After observing for a while, Akai came to this conclusion.

"So, because of the meat I was drying on the rooftop?" I said I had already guessed eight or nine.

"Maybe, shall we squat for a while?" Akai said that the fisherman's favorite thing to do is to make a profit.

"That's a good idea, that's what I mean." I'm 100 in favor, and if I'm lucky, I have bird meat to eat today, but I don't know how it tastes (small broken bones?). οΌ‰

"So, let's go to the rooftop and ambush it." So we turned around and rushed to the rooftop.

After the construction of our home, that is, after the roof was completed, I built another rooftop behind the roof out of consideration, but I didn't know what I thought at the time.

So, we went up the stairs on the third floor to the rooftop, and we went straight to the staircase and set up an ambush.

This rooftop is more than ten meters above the ground, after all, our home is a three-story building.

Half an hour later...

"It's almost in the sky, right?" I see that the battle between the eagle and the vulture in the sky is coming to an end, and the attack on each other is not very fierce, and it is estimated that the physical strength is very exhausted.

It won't be long before it's time for us to make a move.

Suddenly! The eagle in the sky gave up its entanglement with the vultures and swooped straight down to the rooftop.

"Chance!" It didn't take much for me, Akai had already raised the long-awaited bow and arrow in his hand.

The arrows that shimmered with cold light flashed a dazzling light in the sunlight, and this light brought to the eagle a strong killing power!

Before he could react, the swooping eagle crashed headlong into the speeding arrow and shot through it.

"Yo Xi!" Looking at the eagle falling vertically, I gained a better understanding of Akai's archery.

Seeing the tragic image of the eagle, the vulture, which had little strength left, let out an exclamation and randomly flapped its wings and rose into the sky. In its small bird's head, it thinks that only the sky is the safest, and we can't threaten it.

"Hmph, what else do I need to do if you let you run away so easily." Magic doesn't dissipate easily after being fired, and while most offensive spells have cast and attack range, this distance is only much larger than you might think.

A small ball of fire rose from my hand.

With a knife, I only need the lowest level of flame arrows to deal a lot of damage to birds and beasts, knocking them out of the sky, and they won't be directly burned into charcoal.

One! Two shots! Three shots...

I fired at the vultures in the sky at the speed of one flaming arrow per second, although the accuracy was a little off, but under my burst, for a while, it was like a meteor shower falling from the ground to the sky, and each rocket dragged a long tongue of fire, but unfortunately it was not as beautiful as it was at night.

A minute later...

"Whew~ Finally knocked you down! Really, the mana is running out. ”

A second of silence for our vultures and Mr. Eagle.

We were very happy that we got two prey, but the birds had too little meat and too many broken bones, so they could only be used as snacks...

Let's go out and hunt for prey.

"Until then, let's go and put away the dried meat." There are also benefits to the strong sun, such as drying the meat faster.

Put the jerky away and put it in the backpack, and it will be used as dry food for the hunt for the past few days.

Let's go! Go into the wild!
