The breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the smell of earth. Looking around, he saw a wasteland surrounded by lush wild grass as tall as his calves. There were also some flowers and plants, with some unknown wild fruits, which were colorful. This awakened some bad memories in Chen Fan's mind.
In addition to weeds, there are also bushes that are connected together. Not far away, there are some scattered trees. There seem to be some tree stumps next to them. This is easy to understand. Since they are close to human settlements, they must have been cut down to build houses or used as fuel.
Further away, the outline of the mountain can be vaguely seen.
"That's the direction of Ansan Castle."
The bald man spoke up.
"Ansan City?"
Chen Fan cast a curious look at him.
"It's a small city, built on a mountain, impregnable. I heard there are Awakened people living there. It's a place many people dream of."
There was also a look of longing in the bald man's eyes.
"An awakened one?"
Chen Fan nodded. No wonder. However, it was conceivable that it would not be easy to get in.
"Yes, if you become an awakener that day, you can go in. Not only can you go in by yourself, but you can also bring your father and others in with you, hahahaha."
The bald man joked.
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at him. Although he had just come here not long ago, he still had some common sense.
The earlier the awakened person's superpowers awaken, the better. The older he is, it is not impossible, but it is very unlikely. In addition, a very important point is that these people have extremely high mental attributes.
He glanced at his own spiritual attributes and realized that he had some self-awareness.
In this way, everyone moved forward while being vigilant about their surroundings.
The originally cheerful atmosphere gradually faded away with the passage of time and physical strength.
At this moment, a dark figure appeared not far away.
Chen Guodong, who was walking in front, suddenly changed his expression, stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
"That's the armored rhino?"
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
Chen Fan looked at it carefully and was shocked. The size of the object was almost as big as a large truck, right
"Go around it and try not to attract its attention."
Chen Guodong whispered, looking at Chen Fan and explaining, "This armored rhinoceros is covered with a layer of armor scales, and its defense is amazing. Even among the most ferocious beasts, it is one of the most difficult to deal with. So if we encounter it, it is best to take a detour."
Chen Fan nodded and looked at the bow and arrow in his hand. He also felt that with this, he might not be able to break the opponent's defense. On the contrary, if that big guy rushed over, it would be like being hit by a large truck. Not dying would be the least of his worries.
The group walked around in a big circle and only breathed a sigh of relief when they no longer saw each other.
"It's not just the armored rhinoceros," Chen Guodong added, "and whenever we encounter a mid-level beast, we'd better not alarm them and take a detour. Otherwise, even if we kill it, we'll have to pay a heavy price."
"Um."
Chen Fan responded.
The so-called intermediate ferocious beasts are just a rough classification, referring to ferocious beasts that require the joint efforts of several adult men to kill.
It is possible to kill, but it is impossible to do so without paying a price.
It's like hunting an armored rhinoceros. Someone has to take the lead. Otherwise, the others may not even have the chance to attack, and they may not even be able to outrun the opponent. The person who takes the lead will probably be in great danger even if he has a shield.
Low-level ferocious beasts refer to a type of ferocious beast that an adult man can defeat with weapons. The range is also very large. Some may not be aggressive and will only run away when encountering danger, while others may injure people or even die together with them.
"It's nothing, actually. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often."
The bald man smiled.
The others also looked as if they were used to it.
Chen Fan also smiled at them. To be honest, he was indeed very nervous just now.
"Let's go and check out the first trap. I hope we can get something."
Chen Guodong said this and walked forward.
Others followed one after another, and Chen Fan was protected in the center.
After walking for about two or three minutes, Chen Guodong, who was walking in front, stopped again and pointed forward.
Everyone looked closely and saw a prairie rabbit nibbling grass seeds in the lush grass. It seemed that it didn't notice anyone coming.
"That's the Wasteland Rabbit."
The bald man lowered his voice and said, "This guy has poor eyesight. He can only see things more than ten or twenty meters away. Anything further away will be blurry. This guy has very good hearing. Any movement thirty or forty meters away can make him alert."
As if to verify his words, the prairie rabbit suddenly stood up, as if it noticed some changes in the surrounding situation.
“This rabbit is too big.”
Chen Fan couldn't help but complain. It was as big as the local dog in his previous life. No, it was even bigger because it was very fat and looked chubby.
"Give me the arrow."
The bald man whispered.
"?"
Chen Fan was stunned and asked in surprise: "Uncle Liu, you can also shoot arrows?"
"No, but it's time to give it a try."
The bald man said carelessly, what if he hit it? Otherwise, when everyone takes a few more steps forward, the rabbit will disappear in a flash.
Chen Guodong also looked at Chen Fan, with some expectations in his heart, but he didn't dare to expect too much.
"Uncle Liu, let me try."
Chen Fan couldn't help but say.
"That's fine."
The bald man was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Chen Fan held the bow in his left hand in front of him and carefully took out an arrow from the quiver. At the same time, his heart began to beat faster.
After all, it was his first time hunting in the wild, and he had encountered prey. If he could hit the prey, there would be food for the village, and he would have a lot of potential points. But if he missed the target, he would miss the opportunity and would disappoint his father.
He tried hard to control himself, but random thoughts kept popping up in his mind, so much so that even his right arm holding the arrow was shaking with nervousness.
This scene, when seen by others, made them secretly shake their heads.
However, this is understandable. Who wouldn’t tremble with nervousness when going outdoors for the first time
Chen Guodong sighed in his heart. Well, let's just treat it as a training for Xiaofan. Just practice a few more times.
However, the moment Chen Fan put the arrow on the bowstring, all the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared. He aimed the arrow at the prey and slowly pulled the bowstring. It seemed as if he had practiced this set of actions thousands of times, so that he acted only by muscle memory.
It sounds long, but in fact it only takes the blink of an eye. When the bowstring is fully pulled and makes a creaking sound, the arrow whizzes away with a "whoosh".
The prairie rabbit seemed to sense the danger, its ears trembled, and it used its hind legs to try to push off the ground.
The good news is that it jumped up, but the bad news is that an arrow pierced the rabbit's head and it was carried flying under the strong inertia.
After flying about three or four meters away, it landed on the ground, kicked its hind legs twice, and then stopped moving.
At this moment, Chen Guodong and others were silent, with their mouths wide open, as if they were petrified.
