Chapter 53 Jungle Hunting
The next day, Xu Xin woke up early because she slept too much last night.
"Hey~" Coco also stretched her furry body next to him.
After enjoying breakfast, Xu Xin began to prepare things for today.
He put all his previous tools in a blue-grade [Exquisite Backpack], carried the crossbow quiver behind his back, held the crossbow, wore iron armor, and was fully armed.
[Dear survivors, today’s event is about to begin! 】
[The content of the activity will be introduced next, so all survivors, please listen carefully. 】
[Beasts are about to truly return to the jungle. From today on, the jungle will be full of wild beasts. I believe that survivors already have the ability to hunt wild beasts to protect themselves, so go hunting to your heart’s content! 】
[This event is: jungle hunting activity. In the next two days, hunt wild beasts and earn points! Depending on the type of beast a survivor hunts, the points earned are different. Points can be redeemed for limited supplies after the event. 】
[Friendly reminder, please do not explore areas outside the protection range of the tree house, otherwise terrible things will happen. 】
[The reward event time is from 8:00 today to 18:00 tomorrow]
[Don’t take advantage of the situation. The last 50 survivors in each region to gain points during the event time will leave this beautiful world forever. 】
[I look forward to all the survivors stepping on the corpse of the beast and becoming the king of this jungle! 】
【Jungle hunting begins now! 】
The beast is back in the jungle?
Xu Xin immediately opened the map, and sure enough, within the three kilometers surrounding his tree house, many red dots had poured in. Although not as good as the wild beast riot on the first day, the number was still staggering.
Wild beasts continued to pour in from the wild beast gathering place in the northwest. Soon, the number of wild beasts in the two places reached a balance.
Xu Xin looked out from the window of the tree house. He could already see various small animals not far from the tree house. There were even a few monkeys hanging on the tops of the poplar trees not far from his tree house, playing with each other.
Fortunately, the heavy crossbow did not activate automatic attack, otherwise it would be a bit funny to shoot a monkey with the heavy crossbow. The most important thing is that the heavy crossbow may not be able to shoot such a flexible animal like a monkey.
Xu Xin decided not to go down yet, but to wait on the tree house. After waiting for some wild beasts to gather around the tree house, he would first use the tree house to kill some wild beasts, and then go out after killing almost all the surrounding wild beasts.
Coco had jumped to the window at this time, lying on the window and looking out. He was not surprised to see those beasts.
Thinking about it, maybe the current situation was the original appearance of the jungle before their group of survivors arrived.
"Be careful, don't fall." Xu Xin reminded.
"Hey!" Coco replied and continued to lie next to the window. It used to often sleep on the branches, how could it fall?
Suddenly, a huge vulture flew past the treehouse canopy with a strange cry. Its huge wings looked very scary, with a wingspan of almost five meters. This made Coco jump up on the edge of the window in fear.
"嘤嘤嘤!"
"I told you to be careful!"
Xu Xin was worried that Coco would fall, so she quickly hugged Coco from the window.
That vulture just now was really big. Xu Xin was a little surprised. Vultures are the largest birds, with a wingspan of up to five meters, and the vulture just now is almost the largest on earth.
"The beast here is really too big. If you shoot it down, it will definitely have a lot of feathers, right?"
Of course, Xu Xin just thought about it. With the speed of the vulture just now, the heavy crossbow arrow would probably disappear as soon as it was shot, unless it could find a chance to eat.
I don’t know if I can hit a moving target if I use automatic shooting.
Touching Coco's furry head in her arms, Xu Xin looked towards the center of the lake. There was what he was most worried about, the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
The last time the beasts rioted, the giant anaconda appeared. The rock-like anaconda head and abyss-like eyes left a big shadow on Xu Xin.
Fortunately, the giant anaconda did not seem to appear this time. Even its red dot could not be seen on the map. There were still only those piranhas wandering in the middle of the lake.
As long as the giant anaconda doesn't come out, other beasts are not too dangerous to him. Even if he can't defeat them, there is nothing those beasts can do against his tree house that is both offensive and defensive.
Xu Xin went downstairs and came to the heavy crossbow on the first floor.
He had already heard several wolf howls, as well as the roars of some unknown beasts.
"Bring a few more wolves so I can choose a mount." Xu Xin muttered to himself as he looked out the window.
It gradually became lively outside the tree house, and a deer even came gnawing grass under Xu Xin's tree.
Probably because his tree house is the tallest tree here. Even on the canopy of Xu Xin's tree house, there are several monkeys playing.
Xu Xin didn't pay attention to them, but nervously observed the situation outside.
A silver-gray wolf emerged from the jungle not far away.
"Coming!"
As this wolf emerged, more than twenty silver-gray wolves emerged from behind. This is a wolf pack consisting of more than twenty wolves.
"...This is a bit much. How can I deal with this!" Xu Xin had a headache. His heavy crossbow only had five rounds. With the crossbow, he might be able to deal with the wolves, but the wolves are not stupid. They will retreat. Yes, I'm afraid he shot one or two to death and disappeared.
He also wanted to choose one of the wolves to be his mount.
Xu Xin scanned the wolves, and finally focused on the one with the brightest hair and the largest body.
This wolf is very eye-catching among the wolves, because it is a whole circle larger than the other wolves. Looking at the weight alone, it is probably not far behind that of a black bear, and the wolf pack is obviously centered on it.
"Is this the wolf king of this wolf pack? It looks so beautiful." Xu Xin looked at the tallest and most powerful silver-white wolf king and couldn't turn his eyes away.
Maybe there is a chance to make it your own mount!
The group of wolves was gathering under his tree house at this time, and their target should be the deer under his tree house.
Deer run faster than wolves, and most wolves hunt by chasing until the prey is exhausted or falls to the ground, becoming a delicious meal.
However, this group of wolves was obviously smarter. They actually learned to outflank the deer. About twenty wolves had gradually formed a circle around the tree house, surrounding the deer.
It looks like this deer is going to answer here.
Xu Xin was not in a hurry. He wanted to give the wolves a surprise when they finished hunting and began to enjoy a delicious meal, especially the wolf king!
His [Intermediate Mount Contract] has a property that can restore all the injuries suffered before the mount contract. In other words, as long as he doesn't kill the wolf king, there won't be any big problem.
The deer that was grazing under the tree house had stopped grazing, raised its head, and became restless. It seemed that it had sensed the danger around it. However, it was too late, a group of silver-gray wolves had already appeared from behind the tree.
The deer began to run away in a panic. The wolf king howled, and all the wolves around him jumped up and rushed towards the fleeing deer!
The wail of the deer spread almost throughout the resource area, startling a flock of birds from the surrounding jungle.
As Xu Xin expected, the deer was killed on the spot, and its blood dyed the ground under Xu Xin's tree house red.
The wolves are hierarchical and surround the deer that was killed. The surrounding wolves have no intention of feasting, but are waiting for the wolf king to enjoy it first.
The wolf king stepped forward and enjoyed the delicious meal first, while the other wolves were waiting for the wolf king to eat while being wary of the surroundings.
"Opportunity!" Xu Xin's hand immediately reached for the rocker of the heavy crossbow. (End of chapter)
