Chapter 35: The Hunting Mission

Sunlight spreads through the dense foliage, creating patches of light on the ground, and the surroundings are very quiet. Only the occasional fluttering sound echoed through the woods.

A young man covered in mud was hurrying through the shade of the trees, and the small leaves and mud covered his clothes and pants, and the original color was almost unrecognizable. The boy didn't care about any of this, and he was looking around with wary eyes. Apparently looking for something.

This is the third week of training. Wu Yun's life is very regular these days, getting up early to push a round of logs, and then coming to the woods. Aim for a fist-sized stone at random. Began slingshot shooting training until returning home. He doesn't demand much of himself. So the distance at the beginning was just a few meters. As I got used to the feeling of the opponent's weapon, the distance gradually increased.

"You can first see and hit there, this is the basic requirement of shooting skills, there is no need to practice anything else." Before he practiced, Ledo instructed Wu Yun to have a long-term plan for his training goals. First of all, it must have a certain range and accuracy, and then consider the requirements of doing Ledo, as for learning the almost miraculous skill of shooting quickly. He didn't think about it for the time being.

Just yesterday, after seeing Wu Yun hit the target several times in a row at a distance of about thirty meters, Ledo gave him a task to start his first hunt and successfully retrieve the prey. After staying in the forest for some days, Wu Yun knew that this task was not excessive. Although there are many types of monsters in the forest, there are few that have active aggression. Only once did Wu Yun encounter the Ghost Melon Splinter Spat Cannon - a stingy caterpillar with a retaining heavy machine gun head. It was the only real danger he encountered in the woods. Most of the monsters' attack accuracy is very poor, and guys such as oil barrel monsters, amoebas, and sonic rabbits are on a mission that hits themselves, and they can't even damage this outfit on their bodies. Faced with this feeling of invincibility. Wu Yun couldn't help but feel very sorry for what he did in the first place.

The range of prey selection is still large at first glance. However, it is important to note that there are not many monsters that can have an effect with the attack power of a slingshot. In the morning, he tried the oil drum monster at home, and in Kashan's words, it would take at least half a year to practice to penetrate Wu Yun's strength.

So now the only prey you can choose from is amoebae, sonic rabbits, and a kind of colorful snail that I encountered before, and it seems that you can also try it. Obviously, its soft head couldn't withstand a blow from a steel ball.

Continuing to sift through, the chance of the snail encountering it was obviously a problem, and Wu Yun was not sure about the fast-moving target, so in the end, the quota of this prey naturally fell on the head of his old friend, the amoeba.

After all, in Wu Yun's eyes, the amoeba is a little different from other monsters, it has appeared in Wu Yun's hands as an ingredient, which makes him feel more stable when facing this monster, and the difference between the two is the same as meeting a wolf and a wolf dog in the wilderness.

After careful consideration, Wu Yun began his own hunting process. The amoeba is indeed a relatively easy opponent to deal with, not difficult to encounter, and has little power against itself. But once it runs, its green body easily blends in with the grass and shrubs. Only by getting close enough to alarm it and force it to move can you see its trajectory. This time it is difficult for Wu Yun, a novice in the jungle. It's natural to crawl and roll, and his body is fine, but his clothes are tossed and unshaped, and his hands, neck, and cheeks. All exposed areas are scarred. The corner of his left eye was swollen from an unknown mosquito bite, and it was only with one eye and red and swollen hands that he killed his target.

But what Wu Yun never expected was when he threw the amoeba that he had caught with a lot of hard work in front of Ledo. Ledo's casual words ruined all his efforts.

"No, the mission failed." Ledo dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

"Why?" Wu Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, grabbed him angrily. Ledo stopped and looked back at him.

I saw that the scars on Wu Yun's face were red and black, and although there was only one slit left in his left eye, the anger in it seemed to explode at the slightest spark.

"What are we talking about prey?" Ledo sighed, he really didn't want to explain the question. But now that I see Wu Yun's miserable scene, I still soften.

"Prey?" Wu Yun was a little blindsided. "Aren't they all kinds of monsters in the forest? Aren't amoebas counted? ”

"Take a closer look." It was nearly evening, and it was getting a little dark. Ledo kicked the amoeba under his feet closer to Wu Yun.

Wu Yun has been sitting on the ground since he came back and handed over the amoeba. Curious, he grabbed the amoeba corpse on the ground, and he didn't know how many times he had hit it because he had been chasing and shooting. Now all you can see is its yellow-green body, which is riddled with holes. There are also a few marbles looming inside.

Wait, chartreuse? Wu Yun was taken aback. It was green before?! Don't... He was startled. Look at Ledo.

"Since you have cooked with this, you should know that once the kernel liquid flows out, it loses its value for consumption. For us, amoeba is used as food. Ledo accentuated his tone. The so-called prey must have its value. If what you're hunting isn't harmful in itself and doesn't have much value to you. Then your behavior is not called hunting, but meaningless killing. ”

"This is an absolutely forbidden act." Ledo stared at Wu Yun. "You are wise enough to understand this. But I hope you're in the future. ”

Ledo still wanted to continue, but when he saw Wu Yun looking at the amoeba in his hand with his head down, he looked guiltily. He immediately stopped what was going on. His form paused for a moment and then vanished into the darkness.

At this time, Wu Yun was greatly shocked, because no matter what game he was in, the more monsters he killed, the better. Wu Yun would never have any sympathy for monsters. But at this point, he realized. The people here are often interdependent with the monsters. Total destruction in the true sense of the word does not mean a perfect ending.

He silently dug a pit at the edge of the woods and gently put the amoeba in his hand into it. After covering with sand, the simple burial work is completed.

Maybe I won't be able to forget the first monster I killed with my own hands in the future. Wu Yun looked at this humble tomb and thought silently.

After a brief cleanup, he returned to the village chief's house, where the three of Kassan, as usual, waited for him to analyze the new road traces. Everyone was very surprised to see him like this, and Kashan hurriedly rubbed some ginseng pill powder on him and shouted to the two of them to send Wu Yun to the second floor. Wu Yun hurriedly stopped her. He still had a few more questions to ask.

He told everyone about his new task, and briefly talked about his final failure. I hope a few people can give themselves some advice.

"With the power of your slingshot." It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kashan had the strongest knowledge of the performance of weapons among her peers in the village. Therefore, Wu Yun attached great importance to every word she said. "There's nothing wrong with your prey choices. It's hard for you to beat anything else. ”

"That multicolored snail you were talking about?" Xiao Lei added. "That's supposed to be a bionic snail, and that thing usually doesn't come out until after the rain. You don't usually expect to meet it. ”

"Can you hit the radar rabbit?" The fat man looked questioning. "I remember that Xiao Lei once shot all the quivers and didn't hit them."

"I was in a hurry that time." Xiao Lei's face was a little red, "You'd better not want to hit that, once you run, you'll chase you." ”

"How do you catch amoebae?" Wu Yun looked at a few people for a long time and didn't have any constructive opinions, so he naturally brought the topic back to the topic.

"My word is to quietly approach and get it done." Kashan said as she made a slashing gesture with her hand void, "You will never be able to cut the core if you look at the point." Thinking of the previous battle with the oil drum monster, Wu Yun felt that this should be easy for her. But it still doesn't help me. Not to mention the problem of chopping, the difficulty of the skill of just approaching the monster without being discovered is no less than the skill of rapid fire based on Wu Yun's experience in the jungle.

"The most common thing we use is traps." The fat man interjected. Several people were shocked.

"By the way, that's the way we do it most." Xiao Lei said as if awake from a dream.

"It's not that Kasan your methods are useless." The fat man's tone was filled with a hint of admiration, "Yours that many people can't do... ”

"You're right~" The girl obviously felt the mood of a fat man, and she nodded happily.

"The trap for catching amoeba is simple." Maybe it was to be able to show his hand in front of Wu Yun, Xiao Lei said a little happily, "I'll teach you to do it tomorrow." ”

"Nope." Wu Yun opened his mouth to object, "Ledo is to exercise my shooting skills, and I will definitely not be able to pass the level with traps." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Wu Yun couldn't help but sigh. It seems that you can only rely on your own ideas. He sent everyone to rest, and he waved his hand to decline the help of the two of them, and walked to the iron ladder by himself.

"If only that guy wouldn't run that fast." Wu Yun, who was grasping the iron ladder pole with one hand, felt a tingling pain coming from the back of his hand, although the ginseng pill powder had healed the scars on his skin. But the hidden pain in his heart still couldn't disappear at once, and he couldn't help but think of today's tragic jungle tracking experience, and said such a sentence casually.

"Wait." Little Ray stopped. Kashan and the fat man also stopped, and both of them looked at the yellow-haired boy with curious eyes with Wu Yun above.

"It's just that he can't run. I have an idea. Wu Yun had never felt that Xiao Lei's smile was so cute as it was now.
