Chapter 3059 Deer
A few days later.
Merchant ships docked at the dock.
This is a temporary dock, a place specially designed for merchant ships to stop and supply supplies.
This pier relies on a huge island. Since it is used as a temporary supply, the island has not been fully developed.
At most, only two-thirds of it has been developed, and the other third remains as it is.
The remaining one-third of the island is covered with trees and is considered a small forest. The forest is rich in products, especially small animals. Some are carnivores, but the number of carnivores is less than one-twentieth at most. It is also dominated by small carnivores such as civet cats.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the ecological chain of this third of the forest is quite intact.
After listening to the locals’ description of the island, I suddenly became interested in hunting animals, so I asked, “Can I hunt?”
"How do you want to catch it?" the staff member asked.
"Catch some hares, pheasants, etc. for barbecue."
"Yes," the staff member said, "but you can't massacre, let alone waste food."
"clear."
After responding, I shouldered my weapon and planned to walk towards the forest, but was stopped by the staff: "Wait a minute."
"Any advice?"
"I haven't paid yet," the staff member said, "The hunting fee is five copper coins."
I nodded, took out a handful of coins from my pocket, counted them, took out five copper coins, and placed them in the hands of the staff.
However, the staff member did not respond, because his eyes had already been attracted to the silver coin in my hand, and glowed with envy and desire.
It’s not his fault. Among the silver coins in my hand, there are silver coins from the Zephyr Continent that contain magical fluctuations. The value of such a silver coin is equivalent to the gold coins of the Demon Realm. How could he not be greedy for it?
I shook my hand and found that his eyes were always on the palm of my hand, so I smiled and pinched out a copper coin with magical fluctuations, put it in his hand, and said: "Prepare a set of barbecue tools for me. This is Rental fees and tips.”
"Okay, okay" the staff member swallowed hard and reluctantly looked away from my palm.
Afterwards, I carried my weapon and entered the forest.
This time, I didn’t call the Blue Witch, nor did I call Xi Lan, Heloise and others.
The Blue Witch was resting in the hotel, Heloise was pestering Xi Lan for shopping, and the other adventurers from the Oathkeepers organization were going their separate ways, busy with their own affairs.
I am the only idler who finds it boring to rest in a hotel, and I don’t want to be a light bulb. I don’t want to go to an open-air restaurant to drink wine and eat barbecue like those adventurers. Although the local barbecue has its own characteristics, it is far from as good as what I cook. eat.
When I entered the forest and looked up at the sky, I didn't feel as quiet as the Elf Forest. Maybe it was because the forest was too small, or maybe because the trees in this forest were not lush.
He took off the gauntlet on his right hand, leaned down, grabbed a handful of soil, crushed it lightly, then put it under his nose, smelled it, and tasted it again.
The taste is very bad.
It tastes completely different from the soil of the Elf Forest.
This fully proves two points. First, the soil quality here is very average. Second, the soil quality here does not contain magic value.
I dropped the earthen face, clapped my hands, put on the gauntlet, and continued walking deeper into the forest, recalling the past as I walked.
This is the second forest I have encountered since coming to the Demon World.
The first one is the Red Witch's Forest, which also has no magic value, but the soil quality is much better than here.
Because of this, the species in the Red Witch's Forest must be richer than those here. Anyway, when I was in the Red Witch's Forest, I didn't go twenty steps before I encountered a few escaping hares, and here, I was already gone Nearly a hundred steps, but not even a snake.
I sighed softly, a little disappointed, but it wouldn't stop me from moving on. After all, I promised the Blue Witch that I would have barbecue tonight.
I hunted and cooked it myself.
After walking about two hundred meters, there was a sudden soft sound beside me. According to my intuition, something must be about to attack.
Sure enough, in the next second, a snow-white leopard came out silently, with a pair of sharp claws stretched forward, and the tips of the claws were aimed directly at my shoulders.
This is a common hunting method for cats, scratching the shoulder and then biting the throat.
"Well done." I chuckled, dwarfed my body, and instantly avoided my claws. At the same time, I stretched out my hand to hold it up and sent it forward - bang!
The leopard fell directly into a pit a few meters away.
This fall was not light, it was blinded directly. It kicked around with its legs and eyes, but it couldn't get up.
I walked up to him, kicked the leopard, and said with a smile: "Leave when you feel better soon. Don't try to sneak attack me again. Really, they are all following me."
After saying that, regardless of whether the leopard understood it or not, I stood up and left.
I have to say that this leopard in the demon world is quite patient. I have noticed its scent since I walked more than 150 meters into the forest. However, the harm these wild animals can do to me is really limited, so I am too lazy to do so. Killing.
In any case, there seemed to be less than a hundred medium-sized food animals of this level in this forest.
There are even fewer large carnivores, there seem to be less than twenty.
But my luck is particularly good today. For example, right now, less than five meters away from me, there is a brown bear blocking the road.
The brown bear is not small, standing at least two meters tall, but compared to the king of the forest, it is tiny.
The king of the forest can stand more than five meters tall. This is still under normal conditions. Once it is released, its size can expand even more, and it cannot reach ten meters. This is only the limit it can reach currently, not the forest. King's limit.
Comparing it like this, I feel that the brown bear in front of me is small and cute.
I didn't bother it either, I just walked straight up to it, blocked its slap, and then pushed it away.
The fallen forest king suddenly fell into a brief daze.
It has always been the boss of this forest. No matter who it encounters, it can basically slap it to death with two bear paws. Even if it cannot be beaten to death, it will be frightened and run away. But what is the situation of this little thing in front of it?
Not only did the two bear paws have no effect on him, but he was pushed to the ground.
When the brown bear was in a daze, I walked past it and didn't forget to kick it twice as punishment.
Perhaps because I defeated the boss in this forest, I didn't encounter any wild beasts during the rest of the journey. Instead, I encountered a small deer and several pheasants.
By the way, I haven’t tasted venison for a long time, especially since I moved to Moonlight City. I can rarely eat fresh venison.
This is not because there are few deer in the Elf Forest. There are countless species in the Elf Forest, and the race of each species is quite prosperous. There is no chance that the number will be scarce.
There is only one reason, and that is Moonlight City does not allow casual deer hunting.
