Chapter 14: Exploring the Jungle (15,000 Reward Thanks to the Mountain Half-Immortal)
In July, the weather turned cooler.
The sun rose higher and higher, slowly overtaking the elm tree in the east, and the cicadas disappeared completely, and the two magpies bathed in the sunlight and screamed uncontrollably.
The day before yesterday, it rained all night, and the temperature dropped from 30 degrees to 20 degrees in an instant.
When the sky finally cleared up, the temperature picked up again, but the sun was a little bit weaker than the previous days.
Sun Hao, as usual, came to the trap as usual, but there was still no gain.
He even saw a fat turtledove swaggering all the way through the trap without any trouble.
Of course, even if the turtledove triggers the trap, it is doomed that the bamboo basket will be empty, but I am afraid that the grass and reed branches covering it will not be concave, and people will flap their wings and fly away.
But the target of this trap is never a flying bird, nor a frog vole or something like that, this trap is specially dug for those hares and badgers.
An adult hare weighs 4 pounds, to say the least, in case of shit luck, this is 40 points of energy.
Not to mention badgers, 10 pounds of base, adult dog badgers even weigh more than 20 pounds, early autumn is fat, luck to get one, even jumping two levels is not impossible.
After the rain, he found plum footprints and gray droppings the size of black beans on the muddy ground near the puddle, which had been left by rabbits.
Whether there are badgers coming to the big stone pit to drink water, Sun Hao is not sure, but there is no hare.
His hunting targets have now shifted from earthworms to voles, frogs, and hares.
After all, the energy of the insect monomer is too small, basically 0.1, 0.2, and encountering a 0.3 earthworm is considered fine.
Huh, grasshoppers?
"Lock on to the target, short-tailed grasshopper, ordinary high-protein food, digestion can obtain 0.1 biothermal energy."
Pinch it, stuff it in your mouth, it's so fragrant.
Catching a few bugs once in a while to change your appetite is also excellent and good for your health.
Four days have passed since that day and the fox were in a fight.
In the past four days, Sun Hao spent most of his time exploring the jungle, chewing some grass and reed roots in the morning, so that he had very little time to hunt.
The average energy is only ten points a day, and the energy bar of 60 points is not full until now, which is still 17.4 short of the evolution requirement.
Autumn is coming, and in more than half a month at most, most of the bugs will disappear.
Before that, he had to find out what was going on within a radius of ten miles, otherwise he would be in danger when he went out to forage for food.
After drinking enough water and chewing some grass and reed roots, Sun Hao carried a newly made wooden stick and traveled all the way south.
To the south of the big banyan tree is a mountain range, with few trees and shrubs, which Sun Hao called "South Ridge".
In four days, Sun Hao had a rough idea of Nanling, and only the other side of the mountain had not yet been explored.
The main purpose of this southward trip is to climb the South Ridge and wait and see the situation on the other side.
Due to the long distance, Sun Hao plans to stay overnight in Nanling today.
This place is about ten miles away from Nanling. He could turn back before dark, but that would leave him less time to explore.
Yesterday he found a stone cave in Nanling, and he arranged some floating soil at the entrance of the cave, and if he didn't find other animal footprints, he could stay there for the night.
Or simply climb to the top of the mountain, find a stout larch, and burrow into the canopy for the night.
Walking through the dense forest, Sun Hao came to a wilderness.
The field was overgrown with weeds half a meter long, stretching for miles, and I don't know how many hares and voles were hidden.
In addition, Sun Hao has also encountered dog badgers and foxes here, but it is not clear whether there are lurking wolves.
Continuing to move forward, startling a flock of birds, Sun Hao threw the wooden stick in his hand.
…… Missed.
If you are sure to stay overnight in Nanling tonight, you will not be in a hurry, you can squeeze out some time to hunt in this wasteland between the woods and Nanling.
Picking up the stick, he pinched an ant on a blade of grass and put it in his mouth.
"Long time no see, Ant Lao Tie."
Squat down and stuff more than a dozen ants and two small grasshoppers in the vicinity into your mouth to gain 0.3 energy.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed movement in the grass in front of him.
Hold your breath and slowly approach.
"Whoa......
Seven or eight pheasants did not wait for him to come any closer, but flapped their wings and went away.
"There are a lot of pheasants, and you can come and pick up wild eggs in early summer."
The jungler failed, and Yu Ji fled.
Nothing to be frustrated about......
The monkey burrowed into the grass and continued to sneak.
Since most of the wild grass is taller than Sun Hao, when he opens the way with a long stick, it is like a big fish gliding on the water, swinging a "V" shaped wave pattern.
Blue sky and white clouds, goshawks hovering.
The sharp-eyed eagle had already noticed the movement of the grass, seized the opportunity, and swooped down.
The sharp talons glow with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
It was brave and handsome, wrapped in a circle of light, and with the confidence of victory, it landed at great speed.
"Huh!"
Sun Hao shook the wooden stick, went to the menacing, and smashed into the shadow in the air like a storm.
He had spotted a goshawk above the wilderness a few days ago, so how could he not be on guard?
He even deliberately made a disturbance, using himself as bait to trap the goshawk!
At this time, the eagle had already pounced on his head, stretched out two eagle talons, and under the action of inertia, there was no way to dodge.
"Snap ......"
Feathers flew and blood splattered.
The eagle, which was still showing off its might, was swept directly off the grass by a wooden stick, shattered its right wing, and struggled to fly, but could only slide out a few meters.
"Lock on to the target, adult goshawk, ordinary high-protein food, digestion can get 54.8 biothermal energy."
Sun Hao hurriedly chased after him, holding a stick in both hands, and turned out a semicircle.
The eagle struggled in a panic, and luckily flew away before the stick was chopped down.
Sun Hao hurriedly picked up the long grass in front of him and found that the goshawk had escaped more than ten meters.
Due to the shattering of the right flank, it could not rise into the air, and it could only stick to the grass at a time, struggling to slide out for six or seven meters.
chased all the way, because the grass was too high, Sun Hao couldn't see the situation ahead, and finally lost it.
Staring at the fresh blood stains on the blades of grass, he knew that the goshawk could not escape far, and must be hiding in the nearby grass.
But the key is that he is too short, and wherever he goes, he has to move the grass first, and see the situation around him four or five meters at most.
At first, he used a wooden stick to beat the grass around, and he could scare the goshawk out.
But when he ran over, the goshawk was gone, leaving only a few blood-stained feathers.
After searching for more than ten minutes, he beat the grass with a wooden stick, but there was no movement, and he couldn't even find the bird's feathers.
Emerge from the grass and stand on a huge rock. Sun Hao spat at the grass, and the monkey paw stretched out his foot and stomped on it:
"Damn, why the hell are you so tall, blocking my view."
"And that damn motley eagle, where is it hidden?"
You said that your wings were broken, and you would die sooner or later, so why not accept your fate obediently?
So I can still read you.
Wait for the next life to see you again, it's a big deal to swallow you when you're still an egg, and save yourself from suffering in the next world.
