Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

The northern forest has relatively abundant prey, but the visibility is poor.

Finding prey is difficult.

The south is a wilderness with good visibility, but fewer exotic animals.

Finding prey is not easy either.

If only I had a hunting dog.

"Caw caw!"

The blood crow cried, jumping around in its cage.

"Well, maybe you'll do?"

Tang Wen came to the yard and opened the blood crow's cage.

The blood crow spread its wings and flew into the sky, circling for a while before landing back on Tang Wen's shoulder.

After a brief preparation, Tang Wen left through the east gate and entered the forest, just like last year.

The difference was that last year he walked, but now he rode a horse.

A few minutes later, a group of scavengers holding sticks followed him into the forest.

Although they saw the knife on Tang Wen's back.

They also understood that he might not be easy to deal with.

But, what's there to be afraid of?

He's only one person, and there are many of us!

Da-da-da!

The horse trotted, and Tang Wen shook off the leeches behind him.

However, the not-so-clear hoof prints on the ground still pointed the way for the scavengers.

No one would ride a horse through this forest for ten or fifteen days.

The warhorse ran for an hour, and the scavengers behind him disappeared.

"I've run so far. If those idiots still dare to chase after me, they really deserve to die."

Tang Wen tied up the horse, gently shook his shoulder, and the blood crow flew up: "Go, find out if there are any wild animals."

Fluttering.

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood crow spread its wings and flew north.

Tang Wen wandered around.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp"

A familiar and dear cry sounded.

A warm smile appeared on the corner of Tang Wen's mouth: "Red-billed finches."

He looked at the five red-billed finches with loving eyes, like an old farmer looking at a bountiful harvest in the field.

He skillfully took out a pebble, about to throw it, but stopped halfway, looked at the pebble, and put it down again.

The pebble was big and round, almost twice the size of a red-billed finch.

Throwing it would feel like bullying the weak.

Moreover, along the way, for some reason, he rarely saw red-billed finches.

He couldn't bear to throw it.

"Consider yourselves lucky."

He continued to wander in the forest, looking for traces of wild animals.

"Caw caw"

The blood crow flew back, accurately finding its owner.

Thump.

Its claws loosened.

A pine cone fell down.

Tang Wen didn't pick it up, and patiently groomed the blood crow's feathers: "No pine cones, I want prey, something that runs, something with meat."

As he spoke, he took out dried exotic beast meat, broke it into pieces, and put a small piece in his palm.

The blood crow pecked and swallowed it, its little eyes darting around, cawing as it flew into the sky.

Tang Wen waited for a long time, but the blood crow didn't return.

He simply stopped waiting, mounted his horse, and chased after the direction the blood crow flew.

Caw caw caw!

The blood crow flew back.

It circled above Tang Wen's head, cawing wildly.

The Beast Mastery skill was only at the entry level.

He could only half-guess: "Are you saying there's something in that direction?"

Caw caw caw!

A crow talking to a human.

Tang Wen tried hard to listen, wanting to distinguish the meaning through the different sizes of its calls.

But this thing was more difficult than advanced mathematics.

After a while, he gave up, beckoned the blood crow to fly to his shoulder, and directly rode away.

If he couldn't understand, he'd just go and take a look.

In the forest, horses couldn't run fast.

After about half an hour, Tang Wen saw the shadow of a building in the distance.

He was speechless: "You're not talking about here, are you?"

"Caw"

The blood crow called out.

"Who's there?"

The person on the stone wall heard the noise and shouted.

This was a sentry point of the camp.

Tang Wen rode closer: "It's me, Tang Wen."

"Tang Wen?"

"Are you Commander Tang Wen?"

Tang Wen showed his commander's identity plate and tossed it to the top of the wall, which was nearly ten meters high.

The other party caught it.

The sentry point in front of him had only been built recently.

It didn't occupy a large area, only a few hundred square meters, and its shape was a trapezoid that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.

Although it was ten meters high, it didn't even have a window, except for a few observation ports.

"Identity confirmed, it's Commander Tang Wen. Open the gate!"

A loud shout came from the wall, followed by a rattling sound.

"No need to bother."

The door of the bunker-like building was a huge stone, which needed to be hoisted with iron chains.

Opening the door was troublesome, and they were opening the door at this time to show respect.

Tang Wen tied the horse to a tree, picked up his backpack, and with a light leap, jumped into the air, then tapped the wall with his toes.

He landed lightly on the wall.

"What great skill!"

There were a dozen people on the wall, a hunting squad under the jurisdiction of the inner city hunting camp.

"Commander Tang Wen, your token."

The team leader, Tian, stepped forward to return the identity token.

They invited Tang Wen into the house, curious about his origin.

Hearing that Tang Wen had come to hunt, Team Leader Tian laughed: "There are many prey in this forest, and we occasionally go out to hunt to improve our meals. But you should pay attention, this area is the territory of the silver wolves. Also..."

Speaking of this, Team Leader Tian hesitated.

He paused before saying, "Try not to hunt female beasts."

Not hunting female beasts was a hunting tradition.

But Tang Wen asked: "With the drought coming, do you still care about this?"

Team Leader Tian spread his hands, revealing a wry smile: "There's no way, the rules here are set by the silver wolves, and even the exotic beasts in the forest are not allowed to eat female beasts."

"What?"

Tang Wen was surprised.

The hunting team members explained in a hubbub that the silver wolves liked to demonstrate and often drove prey near here to kill.

They had seen it three or four times, but each time, the silver wolves would spare the female beasts and young beasts.

"They even understand sustainable development," Tang Wen said with emotion, and then asked, "Have they not attacked?"

"No, the silver wolves are very smart. After fighting with us last winter, we have not invaded each other."

Team Leader Tian said solemnly: "The silver wolves regard this forest as their territory, especially as the drought becomes more and more serious, their activity range is getting closer and closer to the outer edge of the forest. You must be careful when hunting."

The most ordinary silver wolf also has the level of an intermediate exotic beast.

Living a few more years is often a high-level exotic beast, equivalent to a human martial master.

As for the Silver Wolf King, needless to say, it is a terrifying existence that can control wind and ice and snow.

Even the Queen can't kill it.

Tang Wen would suffer if he faced an ordinary silver wolf pack alone.

"I understand. But if you encounter danger, how do you evacuate?"

"Don't worry, sir, we have a secret passage."

"That's good."

After replenishing clean water, he didn't stay here long.

After Tang Wen released the blood crow and walked out of the sentries' sight.

He immediately turned his horse around and ran towards the camp.

What a joke, how could I stay here and compete with the silver wolves for food?

Although I am a dignified martial master, I have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Can't martial masters run away?

Martial masters can run much faster than ordinary people!

"Giddy up!"

Tang Wen lay on the horse's back to avoid branches, whipping the horse.

It's not like before, it's not suitable for hunting in the forest now, it's better to go to the wilderness.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the horse, and then with a bang, it was knocked onto a half-person-high stone.

Red and white splattered.

"Silly roe deer. An unexpected harvest?"

There was a patch of tender grass on the ground, with clear tooth marks visible.

The silly roe deer was eating grass here just now, and when frightened, it knocked its brains out.

Tang Wen got off his horse and picked it up, smiling with satisfaction: "With this, it won't be a wasted trip. So what if it's the silver wolf's territory? Can it delay this commander's hunting?"

"Awoo!"

A roar sounded behind him.

Caw caw caw!

The blood crow spread its wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for the camp.

Silver wolf!

Tang Wen's face changed, and without regard for anything else, he jumped back on his horse and galloped away!

This isn't fear, it's just avoiding a meaningless fight.
