Chapter 62 "The Duck Flew Away"
Chapter 62 "The Duck Flew Away"
The dead trees had been collected almost completely. Ruan Mianmian looked up at the sky and estimated that it was getting late, so she asked Sen to lead her and Yu back to the valley.
Ruan Mianmian always has a clear destination, and this time is no exception.
She saw a dense cluster of light yellow dots on the map, and her curiosity got the better of her; she wanted to know what kind of food it was.
Sen and Yu realized that Ruan Mianmian might have discovered something new, so they immediately quickened their pace and headed in that direction.
Yu used his flying ability to lead the way to investigate the situation.
Sen stayed behind and walked with Ruan Mianmian, asking, "Ruan Ruan, we heard the weather is about to change, and you chose to go out to find supplies this afternoon. Does that mean we won't be able to go out tomorrow?"
Ruan Mianmian sat on the snake's head, tapped the screen to open the weather app and check the specific weather changes, but was surprised to find that the system showed there would be strong winds tonight, and they would be continuous.
Even more worrying is that icing will begin at 5 a.m. tomorrow, followed by snowfall the day after tomorrow.
She told Sen about the situation, and after a moment of contemplation, Sen said, "Winter seems to have come earlier than usual this year. Fortunately, we met you. Without you, the little beastmen in the tribe would probably not have survived this cold season. You must have been sent by the Beast God to save us."
As Ruan Mianmian looked at the map and listened to the incessant chatter of the giant snake beneath her, she suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
She never imagined that one day she would be able to sit on the back of a giant snake and communicate with it. There are still so many unknowns in this fantastical world waiting for her to explore.
Just then, Yu Fei returned.
He seemed unusually excited, stammering, "Those are four-legged creatures! An astonishing number! So many..."
The poor beastmen weren't very good at expressing themselves, but judging from Yu's excited expression, there were indeed a lot of these four-legged beasts.
However, Ruan Mianmian thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.
Knowing that there was prey ahead, Sen and Yu decided to go there quietly.
Sen and Yu quietly approached the four-legged creature's habitat, carefully observing from their hiding place in the bushes.
The sight before them stunned them: a large herd of four-legged creatures were roaming back and forth on the grassland, grazing on wild grass.
Ruan Mianmian followed, and she finally saw clearly that the so-called "four-legged beasts" were actually a group of deer.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that so many deer were enough to keep the entire tribe warm for several winters.
She tried to use the same trick again, but these deer were timid and cautious, and she couldn't lure them over all at once.
As Ruan Mianmian pondered this, Sen and Yu were also thinking about how to bring these prey back.
If Ruan Mianmian knew what they were thinking, she would definitely say: "Have you guys gotten too big for your britches? Before, you only thought about taking a few back, but now you want to take them all at once!"
Ruan Mianmian also needs a certain connection to receive items.
If it's an inanimate object, such as a potato, a plant, or something without life, then she can collect it directly without touching it or using any medium.
But she can't touch living things; she needs to use a medium to access and collect them.
Looking at this large herd of deer, Ruan Mianmian fell into deep thought.
She observed the herd of deer as she pondered.
They seem to be very sensitive to their surroundings, becoming alert at the slightest disturbance.
To successfully catch them, you need plenty of patience and skill.
Suddenly, Ruan Mianmian had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea. She bought some food that deer liked from the mall and put it in the hunting net she had already set. Then, she hid to the side and quietly observed the deer's reaction.
Sure enough, the aroma of the food attracted the deer's attention. They slowly approached the food, cautiously tasting it. Seeing that the time was right, Ruan Mianmian quietly pulled the rope of the hunting net. As the rope tightened, the deer were trapped inside.
Ruan Mianmian excitedly ran over and looked at the trapped deer herd. She thought to herself, "Finally, we succeeded!" At this moment, Sen and Yu also arrived. Seeing that Ruan Mianmian had successfully captured so many prey, they both showed happy expressions.
After all, practice makes perfect. The last time she captured so many Moo Moo Beasts, she had already shown them her amazing abilities.
As mentioned before, deer are timid and sensitive animals. After these deer were captured, they made yelping sounds in the hunting nets.
Upon hearing this, the deer immediately began to run away, clearly indicating that they had been discovered and their presence had been alerted.
Ruan Mianmian quickly put the deer in the hunting net into her storage space, but unfortunately, there were no traces of them left in this area.
"It's alright, we've already reaped a lot, enough for this winter. If all else fails, Yu and I can always go hunting!"
Seeing Ruan Mianmian's sullen expression, Sen couldn't help but comfort her.
Ruan Mianmian was indeed a little upset at the moment. The duck that was about to be eaten had flown away. Who wouldn't be upset in this situation?
