28 The Hunt 2 (1/2)
Under a big tree, three headless bulls were hanged upside down, blood poured out from their neck, on the tree's base was two bulls head. Yan Xiu stood not far from it, looking at the bulls being bleed.
The rest of group was waiting under another tree shade, Bai Yuan was licking his bloodstained hands. Yan Xiu walked toward Chen Hanchen.
”Senior, can I ask something?” (YX)
”Sure.” (CH)
”Why are we hunting them without building a camp first?” (YX)
”Good question. You see, different prey need different way of hunting. These One-horned Bull, for example, except for grazing, they spent their time roaming around, making them hard to pinpoint. And at night, they went back to their nest to rest.” (CH)
”Then, why not attack them at night?” (YX)
”Because if we attack them at their nest, they won't flee and will fight to their death. So, to hunt them efficiently, we only hunt them when their grazing. That way we can minimize the danger and maximize the profit. Before we hunt something, we need to know it better, so we can hunt safely and easily.
Fighting a herd of One-horned Bulls is not only hard, it is also a waste. Even if we wipe out the whole herd, can we bring them back? Can we even finish them?
We are a hunter, not a mindless butcher. We only hunt what we need, we don't hunt irresponsibly. This is a lesson for you, take what you need, not what you want. You understand?” (CH)
”Yes, senior.” (YX)
”Good.” (CH)
Yan Xiu sat down and cultivate while waiting for the bulls to bleed. Then, Liu Feng, Chen Hanchen, and Yan Xiu each butchered one bull. This was the first time Yan Xiu butchered a bull, so he observed how the seniors and followed them. In two and a half hour, the bulls were butchered, no part of it was wasted. The organs, meat, skin, tails, even the bull's balls, they took everything that could be eaten.
Looking at the flesh mountain, Yan Xiu wondered how they going to took it with them. Xia Musheng stood up and went in front of the mountain, he reached out to his collar and took out a ring necklace. The necklace was silver and the ring was bronze colored with small white gem on it. He pointed the ring at the mountain and the flesh mountain was sucked into the ring.
Everyone didn't have any reaction on this, they were already used to it, but Yan Xiu was shocked. A Spacial Ring! Yan Xiu looked at the unassuming bronze ring, turned out it was ring with space in it and capable of storing something inside it. Yan Xiu looked at the ring with desire, if he had such ring, he could take many food with him without hassle.
After storing the meat, Xiao Musheng stuffed the ring necklace back into his clothes. With his signal, the group marched on. Liu Feng was once again leading the group, this time he led them into a cave.
”Good job on discovering this place, Liu Feng. We'll camp here, Chen Hanchen brought your team search for fire and set up the trap.” (XM)
”Understood, teacher. Let's go.” (CH)
Under Chen Hanchen lead, the team went out of the cave, they walked for about thirty minutes to a small pond. The pond was about six meters in diameter, the pond's edge was covered with tall water grass. Yan Xiu and the rest was confused.
”Senior, what are we doing here?” (XG)
”We're here to fish.” (CH)
”Fish?” (SJ)
Shuang Jingu looked at the murky shallow water of the pond.
”Senior, I'm afraid we can only fish for eels in this pond.” (SJ)
