The knife is pitch black, but the blade is blood red, as if it were stained with blood.
Xu Xin held the knife in his hand, it felt heavy.
The knife was made of a metal. He didn't know what kind of metal it was, but it was quite heavy. It was a small knife about the same size as a boning knife, but to Xu Xin it felt like it was more than five times heavier than a boning knife.
This metal must be very high grade.
If he had the ability to restore tools to their raw materials, he would really like to restore this knife directly into a block of metal so that he could unlock the blueprint for making this metal.
No matter what he thought, he still had to return the knife. At least he didn't even have the courage to face the tiger at the moment, let alone this so-called "god".
Are tigers considered big cats? They should be one of the sacrifices, right? The tigers were circling around here but not approaching the altar, probably because they were afraid of this place.
Without thinking too much, now it's time to hunt wild boars, wolves, cats and rabbits!
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the wild boar meat he had hunted and left in the wilderness, and he didn't know whether it had been eaten.
It is better to bring it directly and offer it to the altar. Although it is not a wild boar tusk, it can also increase the progress of the wild boar pillar.
Xu Xin walked out of the altar, and the Silver King was waiting beside it. Xu Xin couldn't help but glance at its wolf fangs.
By the way, isn't it inappropriate to ride on the Silver King to hunt its kind
It only took Xu Xin a few minutes to ride the Silver King back and forth.
He placed the pork of three wild boars on the sacrificial table, and the previous scene happened again. This time, Xu Xin observed the changes on the side of the stone table and found that even though the red patterns flowed onto the table, the red color on the side did not fade even a little.
Soon, all the pork on the altar disappeared. Xu Xin looked at the stone pillar of the wild boar statue. It had grown quite a bit this time, by half a meter.
The stone pillar of the wild boar statue also exudes a warm feeling, and it feels like a stove in the shape of a stone pillar.
"I wonder what will happen after the entire stone pillar is dyed red." Xu Xin said to himself, walked out of the altar, rode on the Silver King waiting at the altar, and continued hunting.
He looked at the map, bypassed the bright red dots, and wandered around the outskirts of the resource area inside the hills.
Another hare jumped out from the bushes. Xu Xin was quick-witted and shot it to death with a crossbow.
Picking up the rabbit by its ears, Xu Xin took out the black and red knife.
"How is this to be used?"
Xu Xin thought about it and realized that the special part of the rabbit was its ears, so he made a stroke at the base of the rabbit's ears.
The knife didn't look very sharp, but it easily cut the rabbit ears and the body apart without any resistance, leaving only two rabbit ears in Xu Xin's hand. What surprised him was that the two rabbit ears did not bleed.
Rabbit Ear Offering (Green): One of the main offerings made to the "Gods".
One rabbit can get two rabbit ear offerings.
Xu Xin looked at the wound at the bottom of the rabbit's ear and found that the wound had healed.
Xu Xin used the knife to cut the rabbit's body a few more times and found that this special knife could not cause any damage to other parts, and could not even cut a wound.
"It seems that this is a tool that can only be used to cut sacrifices." Xu Xin put the rabbit corpse and the rabbit ears without ears into his backpack and continued to hunt.
The Silver King runs very fast, and with the help of Xu Xin's map that can mark the locations of wild beasts, his hunting efficiency is very high.
Hunt a hare and get points: 1 point.
Hunt poisonous snakes and get points: 5 points.
Hunt wild foxes and get points: 3 points.
As he moved forward, Xu Xin never stopped shooting the crossbow in his hand. He shot and killed countless small wild beasts along the way, and points were slowly accumulating.
He looked at the map and was surprised to find that the red dots around the tree house and where he was now had not decreased due to hunting, but instead had a tendency to increase.
"What do you mean? Is someone releasing wild beasts into the jungle? It seems I don't have to hold back. If there are more wild beasts, it will be difficult for them to survive in the jungle."
Xu Xin continued to exert his strength with the crossbow in his hand.
"Silver King, stop!" Xu Xin suddenly whispered.
Not far ahead, Xu Xin saw another animal among the sacrifices, a wild cat.
Xu Xin had hunted wild cats before, which were about the same size as Coco, but this one was not small.
"This wild cat is really big." Xu Xin sighed in his heart, "It must be about 30 kilograms."
This is already a medium-sized cat similar to the lynx and caracal, but this cat does not look like those big cats. Instead, it looks similar to an ordinary rural cat on Earth.
It seems that small cats can grow so big in this jungle.
The wild cat was currently gnawing on a white-feathered bird it had just caught. The dead bird did not look much smaller than a cat, and its feathers were plucked out and flew all over the ground.
feather!
Xu Xin originally had a cat at home. He actually liked cats very much and was somewhat reluctant about shooting cats.
but…
"Feathers are good things. It's a waste. It's not good to waste them like this. Let's just kill it."
So he took out his crossbow and shot an arrow at the cat in the distance.
Cats are naturally agile, and perhaps because they heard the sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air, the wild cat that was eating actually jumped on the spot. The originally fatal arrow only injured its hind leg and sank into the tree trunk behind the wild cat with a "click".
The wild cat screamed and fell to the ground. Its hind legs were broken, and it lay on the ground, panting as a warning at Xu Xin who was riding a wolf, but it kept backing away with its front paws and other hind leg.
Xu Xin did not hesitate and shot another arrow, ending the cat's life.
"I hope Cat Star doesn't have a crossbow... Fortunately, the front paw was not injured just now." Xu Xin took out the altar knife and easily cut off the wild cat's front paw.
Cat's Paw Offering (Green): One of the main offerings made to the "gods".
There was not a trace of blood after the cat's claw was cut off.
After dismembering the wild cat's body and putting it into his backpack, Xu Xin continued on his way.
As he continued hunting, he was now approaching the lake in the resource area. Through the gaps in the jungle, he could already see the ripples on the lake reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Xu Xin rode the wolf out of the jungle by the lake. The lake here was larger than the one next to his tree house and more lively. Many wild animals were drinking water by the lake.
"Coco, Silver King, you two are not allowed to shout!" Xu Xin was afraid of scaring away these wild herbivores.
"Hmm." "Ah." Coco and the Silver King also responded in a low voice.
The map shows that there are no dense red dots in the center of the lake, which means that there are no schools of piranhas in the lake.
"So why are there only piranhas in the lake next to my tree house? Is it a coincidence?" Xu Xin frowned, "Or were they brought here by the giant anaconda? And the giant anaconda might have been attracted by my tree house."
Although there are no red spots in the center of the lake, there are several red spots on the edge of the lake that are much brighter than the piranhas.
Before Xu Xin could think carefully about what these red dots were, a big crocodile suddenly jumped out from the originally calm lake, bit the neck of a fawn that was drinking water, and then shook its head and threw the whole fawn into the lake!
"Ah!" Coco screamed in fright.
Xu Xin's pupils shrank: "It's a crocodile!"
Other wild animals drinking water by the lake fled frantically. The deer that was thrown into the lake struggled hard, but it was completely futile. The crocodile rolled over several times in the water, blood spread, and the water surface gradually returned to calm.
"There are crocodiles in this lake!" Xu Xin suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully, "I wonder if the giant crocodile in the creek has any relationship with these crocodiles."
