Chapter 52 (2/2)

“This was the thing Hanxue stepped on earlier?”

Zhang Che quickly walked closer. This rabbit-like creature’s head was crushed into a mush of meat.

Even so, Zhang Che’s focus wasn’t on that.

“Eh? What exotic beast is this? It actually left a corpse behind.”

-According to the rules of the world on this side, other than fighting between exotic beasts, shouldn’t there be no corpses left behind by the hunting of exotic beasts done by beastmasters and their subdued beasts?

-Could it be that this rabbit-like creature wasn’t an exotic beast, but an ordinary animal?-

Zhang Che really wanted to check on this thing’s attributes using his cheat, but there wasn’t any reaction to it. Perhaps it was because this thing is already dead, and his cheat effects wouldn’t be triggered.

Or, perhaps it was due to Hanxue not being his subdued beast, therefore its kill had left a corpse behind?

If that was truly the case, then that was undoubtedly a piece of good news.

Even so, he had no way of determining whether this thing was an animal or an exotic beast. As such, Zhang Che was unable to wrap his mind around this matter in the end.

Unable to get a clear answer, Zhang Che could only pick up this thing’s corpse and continue forward in the end.

He could ignore this problem for now. The key thing was that he could eat some fresh meat tonight!

This was his first meal consisting of meat since he entered the beast world. Just thinking about it excited him!

“Here, here. We got some good stuff. Do you want some, Hanxue?” Zhang Che lifted the rabbit-like creature’s several kilograms-heavy corpse, waving it in front of Hanxue as he walked back to the Golden Elephorse King’s side.

Hanxue showed a disgusted expression, however. It took a few steps back, obviously not fond of the thing in Zhang Che’s hands.

Right, Hanxue was a herbivore. What did he mean by bringing a bloody corpse up to its face?

“Looks like we have a difference between us when it comes to food.”

Zhang Che shook his head, ignoring Hanxue’s disgusted expression. Instead, he looked back at the spoils in his hand happily. It weighed over a dozen jin¹. Even after skinning it and removing its innards and bones, there should be about 3 to 4 kg left, enough for him for two or three meals.

Even so, here came the problem.

Lighters and the likes were useless in here. How was he going to light a fire here? Did he have to drill wood to start a fire?

That method should work theoretically, but Zhang Che knew that this definitely wasn’t as simple as it sounded. Even if he was provided with all the tools, perhaps only five out of ten people would succeed in starting a fire, and that would be considered achieving excellent results.

Moreover, Zhang Che didn’t have the relevant tools at hand. It would be even tougher to start a fire now, perhaps as difficult as getting a rooster to lay eggs, or a man giving birth to a baby.

(Ed. Note: Umwot?)

“Then what the heck am I supposed to do? Do I have to have my first meal of meat in the beast world by eating it raw?”

Ah, that vexation in Zhang Che’s heart! He was so anxious that he nearly scratched his head in frustration, his anger rising.

If it wasn’t for the fact that technological products were unusable in the beast world, he really wanted to send a message to his classmates, asking them how to solve the predicament he was in.

-I’m waiting online, URGENT!-…
