Chapter 55: Battlefield II
Frank had been walking along the river for more than two hours, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and he was sweating profusely, and his army-green vest had become a towel, which he put on his shoulders and used to wipe his sweat from time to time.
There were still three or four hours before dark, and Frank felt that it was very unsafe to walk at night in this environment, so he decided to make a simple camp and observe for the night. Collecting firewood, building a bed, and lighting a fire, all of which would have taken him half a day before the game, now it only takes two hours to complete them, thanks to the great increase in physical fitness.
Frank looked at the wild vegetables and pine cones in his backpack and shook his head helplessly. Now he wasn't particularly hungry, and he wasn't interested in any of these things right now. There were a lot of animals here, and he wanted to make a few traps before it was completely dark.
Making traps to catch animals also depends on the environment, and he has been walking for so long that he has not seen a single large animal, so he can only start from small wild mice and hares. But there was no bait, it was already dark, and it was too difficult to find their holes in the vast grassland. Once Frank had figured it out, he gave up hunting for land animals and looked into the water.
The river is only a dozen meters wide, but it is very long and deep, and it is certain that there are fish in the water. Using tough blades of grass and a few rattans, Frank weaved a gourd-shaped rattan basket of more than one meter, dug up dozens of fat earthworms and stuffed them in the innermost, and finally tied it with the longest rattan and sank it.
As the sun slowly sets and the earth cools, Frank takes a puff of a cigarette as he lies in a comfortable hammock with a small fire burning beside him. It's not real tobacco, it's just that he found some bark, and found some similar weeds to roll himself, who told him to smoke a lot, even if he was choked, he felt extremely satisfied.
Before the cigarette was over, the rattan tied to his wrist suddenly tightened, and a strong force almost knocked him to the ground. This is a rattan tied to a rattan basket, and big fish have entered it! Frank didn't rush to pull, such a rattan was not tough enough, he followed the force and retracted slightly, patiently fighting it.
It was a big fish he had never seen before, more than a meter long, and it couldn't get out once it got into his rattan basket trap. The streamlined fish body, the shiny scales, and the fluffy and beautiful fish tail are so beautiful.
Among the adventurer's natural skills is [identification], Frank is undoubtedly a master of identification, he reached out and stroked the fish, and the introduction of the fish appeared in front of his eyes.
"Swimming sturgeon (advanced): A 50-year-old sturgeon with tough flesh that needs to be made by professionals."
Frank was overjoyed, this was a new species he had never seen before, and it was a high-grade material. He knew that since he didn't say that it was a special ingredient, it meant that this fish could not only be used to make ingredients, but also to make equipment for defense. It's a pity that there is no space bag, and this fish will definitely stink in two days in such an environment, and it can't be brought back, so it can only be eaten. But Frank was very happy with the results of this fish, and he felt that there would be a large number of exotic beasts for him to discover in the next few days.
The stone dagger finally shattered into seven pieces under Frank's frenzied stabbing blow, but the big fish was still unharmed and puffed up its gills, as if mocking him. It's really too tough, whether it's fish meat or fish skin, if you don't use the source force, with Frank's more than two hundred strength attributes, you can't tear it apart.
"Whew~ I don't believe it!" Frank was furious, using his source power would destroy the flesh, so he decided not to dig out the internal organs, found a wooden branch, stuck it in the fish's mouth, and roasted it on the fire.
It is very difficult to grill the whole fish that is more than one meter long, and he is not a professional chef, so he can only try to bake the best middle part of the fish, and he can't control the other parts. No matter how tough the skin and flesh were, it couldn't withstand the long scorching fire, and as Frank flipped it, a drop of fish oil fell into the fire, stirring up clusters of sparks, and a burnt smell rose and spread everywhere.
"Roar~"
A loud, dull roar came from the darkness, and Frank's hand holding the branch shook in fright, almost letting go.
There is a case! The light of the stars and moon is cold, but Frank has the skill of Eagle Eye. He held the huge grilled fish in his right hand, and his left hand rested on the frame of his eyebrows to activate his skills, and looked towards the sound of the sound.
It was a giant lion, the size of a tank, burly and majestic. Attracted by the aroma of grilled fish, it is running towards here.
Frank is not surprised, it is another rare variety, and killing it is sure to have a lot of experience bonuses! He set the fish aside, quickly picked up twelve stone spears from the ground, and after a little aiming, threw one out.
The tip of the short spear shimmered with purple light, and with a faint whistling sound, it arced through the air, and accurately stabbed the giant lion in the back. The stone spear tip became as hard as steel, and it pierced into the flesh of the giant lion, not deep, but it could stand upright.
As soon as Frank saw that it had an effect, he threw out the short spears in his hand one after another, leaving only the last two in his hand, one left and one right, ready for melee combat.
The giant lion was pierced like a giant hedgehog, and black blood flowed all over its majestic body. "Roar~" It pounced in rage, leaping up from ten meters away, two front paws popping out of half-foot-long claws, and pressing towards Frank's head.
Frank dodged one by one, facing the back of the giant lion, the short spear in his left hand flashed with purple light, and he sent it forward with force, and plunged straight into the valley of the giant lion, without the handle of the spear. The blow was quite fatal, and the giant lion bled excessively, screaming in grief, and its huge body shook from side to side a few times, and finally fell to the ground with a heavy muffled sound.
Frank didn't let his guard down, he slowly leaned in and stabbed the giant lion with his last short spear, making sure there was no reaction, and then relaxed.
It is also a rare animal, and Frank needs to touch the item and identify it to increase the adventurer's experience points. He caressed the lion's body, his supple fur cheering him both physically and mentally. It would take a few seconds to identify, and the rarer the object, the more time it would take, and he hoped that the giant lion would let him touch it a little longer.
"Whoosh~"
The slight noise was completely drowned out by the crackling sound of the fire burning.
Frank's spear-wielding left arm ached slightly, and then began to go numb. He was wholeheartedly identifying the giant lion, where there would be precautions, and when he came back to his senses, his left arm had completely lost sensation, and the short spear had fallen to the ground.
"Who!"
Silent in the dark.
