Chapter 34 Surrounded
Early morning the next day, Fang Yun woke up from his sleep feeling very energetic, he climbed out of the rabbit hole, prepared to continue exploring the mountain today.
He is planning to completely explore this mountain today.
Although he can’t eat adult goats, at least for now. He can still eat lambs, without mentioning that there are still many hares in this area.
Therefore, it can still be used as a hunting place, making it worthwhile to explore it.
After climbing two hillsides, Fang Yun saw a lot of rabbit holes along the way, making sure to remember all their position.
Seeing that many rabbit holes made Fang Yun have the appetite to eat one, but he gave up after exploring three rabbit holes and returning empty-handed.
Maybe these hares woke up early and went looking for food.
Leisurely crawling on the mountains, Fang Yun suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a meadow not far from his location.
A group of goats is leisurely eating grass there.
This group of goats consists of 8 adult goats and 2 baby goats.
Fang Yun suddenly got excited, his eyes staring straight at the two small goats.
Both baby goats are following behind an adult goat, cutely calling from time to time. Fang Yun chose his target after a few minutes of examination.
He chose the larger one, and that is for two reasons, simply because it’s larger, meaning more bio-energy and more importantly, it’s farther away from its parents, making it an easier target with a higher chance of hunting.
“Target locked, Baby goat, Mammal, Bovidae, can provide 150 bio-energy point.”
The system’s prompts sounded, but Fang Yun didn’t care, his eyes did not leave the small goat, slowly crawling toward it.
After not long, he was less than ten meters away from it.
The color of his body may have a camouflage effect in the mountains and on dead leaves, but on this vibrant grass, it hardly plays an effect.
However, because his movement didn’t cause any noticeable noise, he didn’t attract the attention of the goat group.
Fang Yun slowly approached the baby goat, now less than 3 meters away from it.
Suddenly, the goatling that was eating grass lifted its head, staring straight at him.
He was spotted.
Fang Yun body stiffened. He didn’t expect to be discovered mid-way.
Just as he thought that the hunting failed, the baby goat just stared at him curiously, not screaming or anything.
Perhaps it did not consider Fang Yun as a predator.
In its cognition, only the Jackal group is probably considered a predator, After all, snakes are rarely seen in this mountain, and only pythons can effectively hunt and swallow goats.
Fang Yun did not waste this opportunity, immediately attacking it. The baby goat subconsciously jumped back, trying to dodge his attack, but he was obviously prepared, following it and biting straight on its legs;
”Maaa!”
The small goat screamed in pain, squatting on the ground.
Only now did the other goats discover Fang Yun existence, quickly surrounding the lamb in the middle, two adult goats bowed their heads, threatening Fang Yun with their horns, trying to force him back.
Fang Yun slowly retreated. He did not choose to fight with the goat group this time. Anyway, he had already poisoned the goatling with his venom. after a moment it will obviously die.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, the baby goat’s body fell to the ground and stopped moving.
The other goats still stayed beside the dead young goat, using their heads to gently nudge its body. They seemed to be encouraging it to stand up, not understanding why it suddenly stopped moving.
After all, while this goat group lived in the mountains, it was the first time they encountered this situation.
After more than an hour, the goats finally gave up and left this meadow.
But this time, they kept the remaining baby goat firmly protected in the middle.
Seeing that the goats have left, Fang Yun crawled to the young goat body and swallowed it at his fastest speed.
After completely swallowing the young goat, feeling his full belly, Fang Yun nodded in satisfaction.
Dragging his bloated body under a big stone he waited for his belly to flatten.
While resting in the shade, Fang Yun couldn’t help but think back about his family on earth and how easier his life was while he was human.
Remembering the days where he didn’t have to worry about his safety, nor food. Where he did not have the pressure to evolve nor get reputation value, Fang Yun couldn’t help but sigh. Shaking his head and clearing these thoughts, he strengthened his determination to go back home.
“I have to live, become powerful enough and go back home!” Fang Yun swore in his heart.
Feeling that the lamb was almost digested, Fang Yun continued his journey.
Originally, he thought that as long as he is fast enough, he might end exploring this mountain this day, but what he didn’t think was that he didn’t even come close to that.
Yesterday, when he surveyed the terrain of this mountain and the distant forest, he thought that although this mountain is very vast, it’s diameter shouldn’t surpass 10 km.
But now he has been crawling for almost half a day and still can’t see the silhouette of the forest. He estimates that he should have crawled more than his estimated 10 km.
But this day is not just bad news, on his way, he saw a lot of goat groups, not only that but he even saw sheep, and their number is not small.
That’s without mentioning small animals like hares and voles.
Around noon, he hunted a hare and two voles, giving him a total of 130 bio-energy point, plus the lamb that he previously digested.
Today he got a total of 280 bio-energy point.
By now, his bio-energy points have reached 2520, If he keeps this situation, he can gather enough energy to evolve in just one or two days.
After his next evolution, his body length may reach more than three meters, allowing him to eat even bigger prey.
The most important thing is that after his next evolution, he will get 7 Skill points, plus the 1 point that he still has. That’s 8 skill points, just enough to upgrade “Skin Resistance” one more time.
These two conditions added together are enough to make his strength soar. That way he feels that if he meets the Jackal group again, even if all five attack him, he can still teach them manners.
If the other party doesn’t provoke him, he won’t bother them. But if they dare to treat him as prey, he will let them know why the flowers are so red.
While daydreaming, Fang Yun looked up at the sky.
The sun is already falling below the horizon, not long after, the night will come.
”It’s time to search for a place to rest.”
Fang Yun thought to himself. With the current weather, once the sun begins to set, the night comes very fast.
He is planning to look for a rabbit hole like yesterday, and rest until tomorrow to continue exploring.
Raising his head and flicking his tongue, Fang Yun continued crawling.
However, after crawling for several meters, Fang Yun violently stopped, because he suddenly found himself surrounded.
Five jackals appeared around him, surrounded him in the middle.
He was previously thinking about teaching this jackal group manners after his next evolution, but what he didn’t expect was that just after thinking about teaching them, they immediately appeared in front of him, and it doesn’t look that they are coming with peace.
Sure enough, things can’t just be thought of casually.
Fang Yun was speechless for a while.
