Today's wind direction is easterly, wind force 3, light snow.

Lu Ning didn't plan to continue exploring under the cliff to the north this time, but planned to go to the flatter south.

He'd seen it to the north when he went down yesterday, and there was nothing but the lantern plant.

Even if there are any resources buried under the snow...... The road was too dangerous, and there was no place to stay, and he couldn't get down.

So he still planned to turn back and explore the south. This time, though, his main purpose was to find the trail of the monsters.

In terms of collecting, what he can collect is already at the end, after all, due to the limited temperature, the range of activities he can move is really limited, and it is difficult to collect too many things if he continues, so it is better to put his expectations on the field he planted.

Therefore, he intends to shift the focus of his exploration to the direction of hunting.

Before that, he didn't take the initiative to look for the traces of the wild monsters except when he happened to encounter them.

For he was not sure if he followed the footprints and saw a harmless snow mole or a one-horned tiger in its heyday that had eaten enough and was about to exercise to eliminate its food.

But with the current conditions, he had to give it a try.

Otherwise, before the plants in the field could grow, his stock would be eaten up first.

And can that field grow ideally...... It's still an uncertain thing, all eggs can't be put in one basket, and Lu Ning thinks that he must make a few more preparations.

And for this kind of thing, it is better to prepare early than late.

"This flint is running out of ...... too"

Lu Ning bent down to pick up the pitch-black flint, the one in the fire suit, which was the auxiliary resource that the ship had sent to him on his first day of landing.

Armed with an axe and flint, he could also build a campfire to keep warm and regain his strength if he came across something like dead branches and weeds outside the camp.

However, striking the flint creates sparks, and the process itself causes loss of flint. Moreover, it is not so convenient to make a fire in the field than in a camp, and it often takes a long time to make a fire, so the amount of loss is greater.

Now this flint is less than half the size of a fist, and it is estimated that it can be used five or six times.

Speaking of which, the dilapidated house has been demolished and burned down for a small part, and there is no sign of leaving this cold winter, I don't know if this dilapidated house is enough to support myself to survive this invisible winter......

Lu Ning couldn't help but sigh, a little annoyed.

You may also want to collect some firewood.

But for now, collecting firewood is a really difficult problem to solve.

Suitable materials for starting a fire are not so easy to find, and scattered dead branches, weeds, etc., are difficult to come by, and the number is limited.

As for cutting down trees and burning fires...... A small tool and axe are not material for cutting trees, and freezing Lu Ning may not be able to cut down trees that are thick enough for one person to encircle.

You can only pay more attention when you go out.

Lu Ning thought, took the things he used to go out, baked the fire to make himself warmer, and then walked outside the camp.

Although I haven't looked for wild monsters before, I always come across footprints or feces on the road, or leftover food.

Sometimes you can even see the monsters directly. Of course, as long as it is not particularly close, Lu Ning will take a detour to avoid it and will not approach.

Therefore, which direction is more likely to encounter wild monsters, Lu Ning probably knows in his heart.

He walked through a tall dense taiga and cautiously peeked out from behind the hillside to look at a monster's lair not far away.

There are several monsters that Lu Ning calls "snow leopards" live here. But this leopard is not a leopard of a leopard, but a leopard of a seal.

Lu Ning had encountered these snow leopards several times, so Lu Ning probably knew some information about these snow leopards.

They are not too big, they are round, they suddenly appeared a few days ago, they seem to have migrated from other places, and they survive quite well in this cold and snowy land.

On top of that, these fat guys don't seem to be very dangerous.

They move slowly, turn slowly, have no fangs, horns, or claws, and their only offensive weapon is a bone mallet on their tail.

For the range of the slings, they were no threat in Lu Ning's eyes.

Therefore, after making up his mind to go out hunting, Lu Ning's first thought was these guys.

He saw four full-grown snow leopards lying motionless next to each other in the far nest, licking each other's fur.

"This distance can be hit with a sling......"

Lu Ning stretched out his finger and measured it, then untied the slinging from his waist and loaded the stone.

He aimed at one of the snow leopards with his back to him, and then threw a stone at its back.

According to past experience, at this distance, if you are hit by a stoneball the size of a goose egg, although the wild monster will not die, it will always break one or two bones, resulting in hindering its mobility.

However, this time Lu Ning miscalculated.

The stone flew out with a cracking sound, struck the snow leopard's back, and ......

The snow leopard shook its body and flicked its tail, not even interested in looking at it.

It was as if the stone throw had no effect on it.

Lu Ning didn't believe in evil, and felt that he might have slipped his hand just now and didn't use his strength, this time he directly aimed at the back of the snow leopard's head, and then threw out a stone.

Boom!

The stone hits the snow leopard's head.

This time the guy didn't ignore it, it looked back, and naturally found Lu Ning who was about to throw out the third throwing stone.

Then the snow leopard let out a low chirp, and the four snow leopards stood up together and walked slowly towards Lu Ning.

Lu Ning fired a third sling, this time slightly crooked, and hit the snow leopard's front leg.

However, the leading snow leopard's progress was not affected in any way, and it still walked towards Lu Ning extremely steadily.

Lu Ning wanted to give himself some time to aim and recharge, so he retreated back into the woods, hiding himself behind a tree that neither of them could hug, and rounded the sling.

This time it was right in the middle of the door, and although the stone still didn't leave any traces, the snow leopard seemed to be a little angry, leading the other three snow leopards, walking a little faster.

Lu Ning stood still, and when he threw out the fifth shot, the leading snow leopard happened to walk to the front of the woods, and two big trees blocked its way, so that if it wanted to get in, it had to take a slight detour.

This time is enough to charge up and aim, so there is no need to retreat, just stand here - after all, the closer the catapult will lose a little less power, so he continued to pick up the slinging in his hand and aimed at the opponent's head.

Hitting it elsewhere poses a very limited threat, and it seems that only a hit in the forehead can inflict a slight amount of effective damage.

Then the snow leopard seemed to think that the big tree was too much of a way in the way, and he didn't bother to go around it a little, so he turned sideways a little and flicked his tail over.

Bang –

After the sound, the giant tree broke off in response to the sound and slowly fell in the direction of Lu Ning.

"it?!"

Lu Ning was not calm, scolded, and hurriedly ran away.

Boom –

The giant tree fell, making a loud roar and splashing a wave of snow in the woods.

"What kind of power is this, such a thick tree can be broken at once?" Lu Ning slapped the snow off his body and head indiscriminately, looking at the neat stubble on the stump, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Seeing that the snow leopard was still walking towards him, this time Lu Ning didn't dare to stand in place and aim, so he hurriedly retreated until he left the woods, and he couldn't see this monster at all.

However, even so, Lu Ning could still hear loud rumbling noises and see the big trees in the woods falling one after another.

This thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and it can hardly do effective damage with throwing stones, and I am afraid that it will have to rely on bladed things such as axes to penetrate the opponent's defenses.

However, the tail of this thing was so powerful - Lu Ning pondered that his body might not be stronger than those giant trees. If you really want to approach with an axe, it is completely looking for death.

The safe distance can't be moved, and the distance that can be moved is too dangerous, so Lu Ning can be regarded as admitting it.

"However, it's not completely impossible to ...... opportunities"

Lu Ning remembered the wood he had been cutting for days.

Calculate the progress, and you'll almost be able to make that spear tonight.
