Chapter 7 is extremely unethical

Shaya Leiming let out a sigh of relief, irritably said, glaring at the guy on the ground, "Hey! Buddy! Do you know that scaring someone can kill them! Fortunately, I didn't throw the fork just now, otherwise you would be dead by now!"

Using rolled-up tree bark as a blowpipe, and pine needles coated with the venom of a mud frog, this forms a complete set of blow darts

Xia Ya Lei Ming was momentarily stunned, and as he was thrown off, this fellow immediately jumped up, seemingly fueled by an unknown source of strength, bouncing and attempting to escape.

This is also thanks to the deceased old man, who taught Shaya the axe technique—if you spend all day carving patterns on tofu with a twenty-plus-pound axe, after a few years, you too will develop a pair of skillful hands

Shaya Leiming found another tall pine tree, stepped on dozens of dried, hard, and sharp pine needles, and took a slender branch, extracting the twigs inside without damaging the bark at all—while doing these tasks, his hand movements were meticulous and gentle, extremely skillful and agile

To the north of Wildfire Town, the terrain gradually becomes flat, with vast expanses of forest occupying most of the northern region of Wildfire Plain. There are no significant mountains here; even when encountering a few elevated areas, they are merely small earthen hills. However, these low hills often stretch for seven or eight miles, as if the heavens have set up a series of barriers across this Wildfire Plain

After consuming several mouthfuls of deer blood, a wave of warmth quickly surged within, spreading rapidly throughout the body. Even though the cold wind howled around, one felt warm and cozy.

Shaya Leiming discovered a foolish deer in the woods, its antlers entangled in a patch of thorns, having struggled for quite some time.

As soon as the deer managed to free itself, it immediately panicked and attempted to flee. However, Shaya Leiming had already seized the opportunity, flipping over and leaping onto the deer's back, pulling on the rope as if riding a horse

We cannot proceed any further. If we go ahead, we will be close to the dwarves' territory. Shaya Leiming certainly does not wish to meet his demise.

The meat of the platypus is quite unpalatable, possessing an extremely unpleasant earthy odor. However, for the impoverished Shaya Leiming, being able to have a bite of meat in such cold weather at night is already considered a great luxury

No, I mean ... ...

These little creatures are fools, completely incapable of movement, spending all day squatting by the swamp and making noise. Even if you approach to catch them, they will not budge an inch

The old cunning merchant on the black street informed that the lion beast should be lurking in the nearby jungle. Perhaps it is a little further to the west.

It is time to make some preparations

When he was about ten steps away from the thicket, Shaya Leiming caught a faint smell of blood. He felt somewhat puzzled and hesitated for a moment before quickly picking up a stone from the ground and throwing it with force.

Go away, I will never return even if I die

The next day at noon, his luck arrived

He had indeed considered hunting other beasts, such as bringing back a deer, which might be more palatable. However, he was more aware that he needed to conserve his energy and it would be best not to pursue those large beasts.

Before Shaya Leiming could finish speaking, a piercing and shrill scream of "Ah!!!" was heard, accompanied by the sound of a metal spring snapping shut with a "Pa".

This echidna is one of the few common wild animals living in the grasslands, approximately the size of a small dog. It enjoys burrowing in the soil, which makes its fur oily and smooth. Its limbs are short, and its movements are slow. However, its mouth is elongated and pointed. This creature particularly enjoys inserting its sharp snout into the soil to feed on insect eggs in burrows.

This, well ... ...

It is important to know that the temperament of a lion can be quite fierce

Behind the bushes, there lies a person on the ground. This individual is wearing a high-quality leather robe, curled up tightly, with both hands clutching his head. His head is bleeding profusely, and from the gaps between his dirty fingers, fresh blood is seeping out.

Is it a person

At last, this poor creature let out a cry, and Shaya Leiming rescued him, lifting his body and moving him back a little

And this time, it is the right leg

A circular steel cuff tightly gripped his calf

It is evident that this is the consequence of the stone I just smashed myself

Uh ...? ... It is already very unethical to throw stones at someone, let alone at a poor creature who is already severely injured

At this moment, even Char Aznable himself felt a twinge of guilt. Therefore, he immediately ran over, helped the poor creature up, and then, with great effort, grasped the animal trap and forcefully pried it open along with the *illustration*.

Just as he had left the swamp for less than the time it takes to eat a meal, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the jungle ahead. This noise immediately startled Xia Yaleming.

His eyes lit up! Could it be that my luck is this good!

Unfortunately, that poor creature has once again stepped into the same trap as before

Shaya Leiming crouched and moved through the jungle for a while, eventually finding a few croaking black mud frogs by a small swamp. These mud frogs closely resemble toads and have a pouch on their backs.

This echidna was unfortunate, as it encountered Shaya Leiming, who skillfully fashioned a noose and pulled it out of its burrow, subsequently becoming Shaya Leiming's dinner

Basically, many hunters familiar with the jungle are aware of this substance, and numerous seasoned hunters are accustomed to using it as a painkiller when injured

Shaya Leiming assessed the direction and confirmed that he had already moved over two hundred miles away from the northern part of Wildfire Town. However, the direction was not due north, but slightly to the west.

Shaya Leiming let out a cheer and charged forward. He did not intend to kill the creature; instead, he took out a rope and tied two knots, carefully securing it to the antlers and neck of the deer, and then extracted the antlers from the thorns.

In fact, Shaya Leiming has already consciously controlled his speed; he must conserve his energy because he knows that his rations are limited. A large piece of rye bread, no matter how frugally he consumes it, will only last him for two days.

A stone was thrown into the thicket, and a muffled sound was heard. Immediately after, a faint "hum" was heard, seemingly unclear, yet tinged with a sense of pain

Fortunately, by evening, he discovered a platypus nest in the woods

The deer ran with Xia Yaleming for a whole morning. By noon, Xia Yaleming finally spared this exhausted creature. However, he still used the tip of his fire fork to pierce a small hole in the deer's body, allowing a little blood to flow out. Then, he applied some herbs he had casually gathered in the jungle to the wound before releasing the animal.

He walked over, but suddenly caught sight of this guy's left leg!

Bang

Upon witnessing this scene, Char Aznable was left in a daze

Shaya Leiming even smeared a bit of mud frog venom on his pitchfork and axe blade. He then tied up the legs of his pants with a rope and began to patrol and search through the jungle

Shaya Leiming was momentarily taken aback, then walked over a few steps and used a fire fork to clear away the thicket.

It is evident that this is not the first time he has engaged in such activities. His technique in handling the deer is quite skilled, as he tugged the deer back and forth several times until it finally complied. Xia Yaleming carefully used the "reins" in his hands to control the direction in which the deer ran, and then he embraced the deer's neck.

Shaya Leiming approached with irritation: "Nonsense, of course it hurts when your head hits a rock. What's wrong with you? Why are you hiding in the bushes? I almost mistook you for a monster... You nearly caused me to commit murder, do you realize that!"

However, this fellow, as soon as he was freed, began to struggle violently, pushing Shaya Leiming with all his might, and incoherently shouted, "Let me go, I will never go back with you even if I die!"

He immediately raised the axe in his hand, cautiously approaching on tiptoe, while in his other hand he held a pitchfork, ready to throw it like a spear at any moment

After just two steps, Shaya Leiming couldn't help but call out: "Hey, wait a moment..."

Heading east is not advisable either, as it leads to a wasteland, which is the territory of the earth gnomes. Those field mice are even more troublesome than the dwarves

It is evident that this is a trap set by some hunter, and this unfortunate soul probably has no idea why he ended up stepping into it

That person was holding their head and softly crying out, as if saying something like "It hurts so much"

This is an iron animal trap, with sharp iron teeth all over the biting edge. That fellow is seriously injured; he was originally wearing thick leather boots, but the boots have already been pierced. The bite mark on his left calf is a bloody mess, and there is a pool of fresh blood on the ground

Xia Ya Leiming traversed mountains and valleys, showcasing the skills he had honed in the forests since childhood—his speed while running through the slopes and thickets was even faster than on the flat roads. He crouched low, resembling a nimble and robust wildcat, swiftly darting through the woods, skillfully dodging the branches that occasionally protruded from either side. His feet tread softly on the ground covered with fallen leaves, producing only the faintest rustling sound.

Shaya Leiming found a sharp branch and extracted some fluid from the bladders of several mud frogs—this substance is not highly toxic but can induce a feeling of numbness
