The next morning, Chu Yang finished the last piece of dried meat he brought with him, said goodbye to Shanli Village, and continued on his way.

Along the way, he began to pay attention to the small wild animals.

Because it was still two or three days away from the next village, he had to prepare some dry food for himself.

Originally, he could bring more dried meat from Shanbian Village, but he didn't want to take away the small food reserves in Shanbian Village.

Anyway, this journey would take a long time to find many villages, and he couldn't bring food for several months at a time. In the end, he would inevitably have to rely on hunting to solve the problem of food. It would be better to just walk and hunt all the way.

Soon, he found a big guy in the cracks of the rocks on the side of the road.

This thing is a bit like a crocodile or a lizard, but the mouth is not so long, and the fangs are all exposed. It is taller than a crocodile and much larger than a crocodile.

Chu Yang thought about it for a while and decided to give up this prey.

It's not because this thing is difficult to deal with, but because he doesn't need to hunt such a big beast.

He couldn't eat it for several days.

The beasts he hunted only needed to feed him for one or two days, and any more would be a waste.

In a world where food was scarce, waste was extremely shameful.

When Babu took him hunting, he also said that hunting in each village was actually very restrained.

They would not kill small animals that were not suitable for eating at will, nor would they kill beasts that were feeding their cubs. They would even stop hunting when food was sufficient.

The natives were also very clear about the principle of exhausting the pond to catch fish.

Chu Yang was also willing to abide by the rules of this world, a rule similar to eating a buffet, which maintained a certain delicate balance in this world.

In addition, it would be easier and faster to travel with only one or two days of food.

If you carry a large beast on your back, you will be exhausted before you can go far.

Unfortunately, he wanted to let these beasts go, but these beasts didn't want to let him go.

The big crocodile actually found Chu Yang passing by and chased him happily.

Chu Yang was immediately in trouble.

Did he have to climb trees and mountains to avoid this big crocodile?

What if he encountered other big beasts next?

It was okay to encounter pheasants and rabbits, they would just turn around and run away when they saw Chu Yang.

But if he encountered a big beast, those big beasts would definitely regard him as food, take the initiative to trouble him, and delay his journey...

This was a very troublesome problem, and Chu Yang couldn't think of any good way to solve it for a while.

The big crocodile had already pounced on him, and Chu Yang could only pull out his tooth dagger and fight with the big crocodile first.

Dealing with creatures like crocodiles is not as dangerous as dealing with tailless dogs, because this thing is completely clumsy and slow compared to tailless dogs.

Although it was ridiculously strong and came with great momentum, Chu Yang just turned over lightly and rode on its back smoothly.

The crocodile was immediately helpless with Chu Yang. Most beasts couldn't do anything to the enemies on their backs, so it could only start struggling desperately to throw Chu Yang off.

Chu Yang would never let the crocodile break free, so he used the same trick again and strangled the crocodile's neck with one arm.

But he soon found something wrong. The crocodile didn't seem to have a neck.

Or rather, the crocodile's neck was really big, as big as its belly, so he couldn't strangle it to death.

Chu Yang immediately gave up the idea of ​​strangling the crocodile to death. Anyway, he didn't intend to kill it in the first place.

If you can't eat a beast, try not to kill or maim it. This is called saving food.

So he stretched out his dagger and stabbed it into the crocodile's eyes.

Blood splattered all over Chu Yang's head and face.

The big crocodile screamed and struggled more violently.

So Chu Yang let go of its neck and jumped away.

The big crocodile didn't care about Chu Yang anymore, and didn't dare to attack Chu Yang again.

It immediately ran away like a wild dog, instantly got into the gap between the rocks, and soon disappeared.

Chu Yang finally relaxed.

Wild animals in nature know how to judge the situation. They will not challenge an enemy that they are not sure of defeating, and they know to retreat and flee immediately after being injured.

This is the way of survival in nature.

All wild animals cherish their lives, including predators.

They will not even hunt those very difficult prey, because those prey are likely to fight back before dying, causing serious injuries.

They are unwilling to take too much risk when hunting, because any slightly serious injury may cause them to lose the ability to survive and hunt, and even easily die in the mouth of the enemy.

Unless they are forced into a desperate situation, they will never fight against a strong enemy.

Chu Yang has reason to believe that this crocodile will definitely take a detour when seeing him in the future.

Even when seeing other humans, it may give up the idea of ​​hunting.

Chu Yang won this fight, but after the scuffle just now, he was covered in mud and dust.

In addition, the crocodile's blood was splashed all over his head and face, and even his neck and body were stained with a lot of it, mixed with mud and smelly and sticky.

Chu Yang wanted to take a bath, but there was no water source nearby.

He could only wipe the blood off his face with his tattered sleeves and continue on his way.

In such a harsh world, no one cares about appearance.

When it was almost noon, Chu Yang finally found a suitable prey.

A gray rabbit.

Of course, it was not the kind of rabbit in the Huaxia world. The rabbits in this world were as fat as dogs.

Chu Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his food for the next two days was finally solved.

To hunt, you must approach secretly, and then at the right distance, use your explosive speed to catch and kill the prey.

This is a helpless move in the absence of long-range weapons, and only ghost cultivators like him with extremely fast explosive speed can use it.

Chu Yang tiptoed towards the rabbit.

But the accident happened again. Before he approached the rabbit, the rabbit seemed to be frightened.

Then the rabbit ran away.

Chu Yang chased it for a few steps, but finally gave up.

His physical strength could not keep up with the long-distance pursuit, at least not with most of the beasts in this world.

Seeing the rabbit running away, Chu Yang was quite surprised.

It was not like he had caught this thing with Babu before, so when did it become so alert?

It could actually spot the predator at such a long distance and sense the danger?

The situation was a bit abnormal.
