Chapter 14: The North Lake (1/2)

”What did you get?” A villager asked impatiently.

Lin Xiao carelessly tossed the token and let the villager saw the word that was written on top of it. He looked over to Su Han. ”What's the test for water?”

”Water?” Su Han was taken aback. There was barely any hunting that was done in the water because it was dangerous. However, Su Han knew that there was a large lake located at the north of the village.

The lake was connected to a dangerous waterfall and also the small rivers. Getting water meant that the test would be to fish.

”You should go to the north and fish.”

”Fish?”

This time, Lin Xiao was the one taken aback. He had never fished in the past because the small river barely contained any fish. If he wanted to fish, he would have to walk for over two hours to the north, which was also far beyond the village.

It was considered as a dangerous area.

Su Han grinned when he thought that Lin Xiao had to go alone to that place. He pointed to the basket at the side. ”You should go. If you're too late, you won't be able to return back before it's late.”

And no one wanted to stay outside the village when it was night time.

Looking at the basket, Lin Xiao nodded. ”How many fishes I need to get so that I can be considered passing the test.”

”One is enough.”

One?

Lin Xiao felt as if they were insulting him if they only asked for one fish. Who would want to travel so far away just to get one fish that could barely fill their belly?

Probably because the expression on his face was so obvious, a villager reminded him. ”It's not that easy to fish in this area, Little Xiao. Even after waiting for hours, you might not even get one fish.”

”Oh.”

True enough. The villagers here barely have any fish. Most of the time, the meat they had would be rabbit's meat or some other animals that they managed to hunt. As for fish… it might have been considered quiet the luxury since the lake was far.

The small river where they took water most of the time would only be enough for them to drink and wash each day. If they wanted to fish there… they might be hoping for miracle since there was no fish passing by.

”I'll be going now!” Lin Xiao rushed out of the hunting squad area and lightly ran. His speed had increased ever since he advanced to body training rank 5, so he might be able to finish even earlier.

”Ops.”

Swish!

Lin Xiao switched his body's movement. He saw Xu Qin was walking to the hunting squad's area. Her face turned red when she realized that Lin Xiao nearly crashed onto her.

”Watch where you're going, Idiot!”
