Chapter 139: Prey
The earth is already covered with snow, but the climate in another world is still like spring.
Chen Shouyi carefully hid in the bushes, trying to keep his body down, and slowly moved forward, surrounded by thorny dense leaves and staggered vines, which hid him well.
The shell girl squatted on his shoulder, clutching Chen Shouyi's clothes, looking more nervous than him, her little face was tense, and she even stopped breathing.
More than 100 meters ahead, an animal resembling an elk was leisurely eating the red wild fruit from the bush.
It is brownish-black, with a protective color of yellow-white spots, its fur seems to be oiled, reflecting a faint shimmer, its rough and slender tongue, flexibly avoiding the small thorns of the bush, and gently curling, a large piece of wild fruit, it is swept into its mouth.
Look so fat!
Thinking of the deliciousness of creatures from another world, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Since Chen Shouyi boldly ate meat from another world, he has never brought food again.
However, he does not hunt all creatures, like reptiles and amphibians, he excludes them. On Earth, most of the poisonous creatures belong to these two categories, and they generally prey on the herbivores of mammals.
He moved more carefully, slowly approaching forward.
After a minute, as if sensing something, it stopped eating, and began to look around, its hooves like snow, restless treading around, alert ears, erected and turning.
Chen Shouyi hurriedly fell to the ground and remained motionless.
The creature observed for a while, but found nothing, and after a while, continued to eat the wild fruit.
Chen Shouyi continued to crawl forward, and when he reached only sixty or seventy meters left, he stood up softly and silently from behind a big tree, felt the bow and arrow behind him, and after quietly aiming at it, he shot an arrow violently.
It let out a mournful scream, ran a few steps, and then fell to the ground, struggling violently.
Chen Shouyi's body quickly rushed over, twisting its neck and ending its pain completely.
"Great giant, you are so powerful. Shell Girl said excitedly.
Chen Shouyi smiled indifferently.
He carried the prey and began to return.
After returning to the residence, he took out a sharp knife, skillfully cut the fur of the prey, tore off the entire skin and threw it aside, and then pulled out all the internal organs and put them on the fur.
He wasn't going to eat these things, God knows if they would contain any unknown toxins, and when he cut off the heads of his prey, he wrapped them in skin, walked to a corner dozens of meters away, dug a pit, and buried them in the ground.
Next, he gathered the collected dry firewood aside, took out a portable gasoline can, unscrewed it and poured some gasoline, took out a special lighter from another world, and lit it.
The flame is weak, but fortunately it is enough to burn, and at the same time it becomes more resistant to burning.
Chen Shouyi smeared salt and sesame oil on the prey, put it on with a wooden stick, and began to barbecue.
Ten minutes later, the grease began to drip down and fall on the flames, bursting into sparks.
The enticing aroma gradually spread, and after the prey was roasted golden brown, Chen Shouyi sprinkled cumin and peppercorns.
Continue to roast for a while.
He couldn't wait to tear open one leg and put it in his mouth to bite.
The flesh of creatures from other worlds is too dense for ordinary people, and the meat is difficult to bite.
But for Chen Shouyi, it seems just right, and he is more hungry, and his two hind legs are down, and Chen Shouyi feels a little supported.
He shredded the rest of the meat and put it in a plastic bag and put it in the suitcase.
Suddenly the wind blew around, and the branches swayed, making a rustling sound.
Chen Shouyi didn't care either, and zipped up his suitcase.
Suddenly, his whole body stiffened, his body did not dare to move, and he vaguely felt as if he was being stared at by something, and a strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
Fortunately, this feeling did not last long, and in less than half a second, it disappeared without a trace, like an illusion.
But Chen Shouyi knows that this is not a delusion.
He immediately looked up at the sky, and through the dense foliage, he faintly saw a large silver figure, slowly streaking through the low sky, and the sky was dark.
"Is it a bird?"
A thought flashed through him, and after waiting for about half a minute, he felt that the other party had flown away.
Chen Shouyi quickly climbed up a big tree with his hands and feet, and standing on a branch at the end of the big tree, he suddenly saw a silver behemoth, with a pair of terrifying fleshy wings, gliding over the forest.
It is a creature that resembles a bird but is not a bird, like a dinosaur that evolved into birds in ancient times.
It was covered in silver scales that shimmered in the sun, and its neck had a colorful mane, and a snake-like tail swayed slightly behind it.
Mysterious, beautiful, elegant, shocking.
It was all the words he could think of to describe it at this point, and it was like a creature flying out of the world of mythology.
According to Chen Shouyi's eyesight, it is estimated to be more than 30 meters long from head to tail, and if the tail is removed, the body alone is more than 20 meters.
......
At this moment, it fell to the leaves with a lightness that was obviously out of shape, and its massive body felt as if it were nothing, and then it poked its head into the forest, and its body slipped into it, and disappeared in an instant.
Chen Shouyi saw that the forest was shaking slightly, and after more than ten seconds, this huge figure flew into the sky again, and at this time it had more prey on its feet.
It flapped its wings and flew farther and farther, and soon turned into a small dot.
Chen Shouyi touched the sweat on his forehead and slowly climbed down the tree.
"What kind of creature is this?" Chen Shouyi asked the Shell Girl with great hope.
The Shell Girl turned pale in fright and shook her head: "I don't know, but it's scary." ”
I know that, too.
He couldn't help but be a little glad that he was smaller.
A creature of this size eats an astonishing amount of food, and it has to eat more than a dozen tons of meat at every turn, and humans can only stuff their teeth for it. Otherwise, he would have been the prey of the other party before.
But nothing is absolute.
This incident also reminded him that he had to find a safe place to practice.
It's too dangerous to stay directly under a tree, as you do now.
What if he suddenly became curious about him and wanted to open the meat and taste it.
It's best to find a cave!
Chen Shouyi stopped practicing and began to look for a suitable goal.
The terrain is located in a mountain col, and the undulating peaks are not far ahead.
Chen Shouyi carried a bow and arrows and walked cautiously towards the front.
The Shell Girl's sense of hearing and vision are far sharper than Chen Shouyi's, and the slightest movement can't hide from her ears, and under her reminder, Chen Shouyi can always avoid the territory of powerful beasts in advance.
Of course, it is not without its drawbacks.
The strength she said was often the same as the strength in Chen Shouyi's heart, which led to Chen Shouyi taking a lot of long detours.
But for the sake of safety, he had no choice but to endure it.
