Chapter 20 The Hunt Begins

“This is what the map of the Forbidden Night Forest records.”

Standing on the rocky slope, Rand looked at the ruins piled up with many horizontal black woods in front, and it was not difficult to find that there were many discarded debris around, whether it was worn-out clothes or rotting animal corpses, which smelled strangely.

This kind of place is simply the most disgusting abandoned field in the forest.

Just after paying attention for a moment, Rand moved his eyes slightly, and immediately noticed the sneaky little figure walking in the corner:

A dingy creature resembling a mouse, blinking bright eyes and turning its head, as if chewing on a piece of food, while observing the surrounding movement.

“It’s right!” Rand recognized the identity of the little guy with round ears and sharp mouth.

The black rotten-tailed rat is the main goal of his trip.

This is a unique creature of the Forbidden Night Forest: they have strong biting ability, but are timid but greedy. They usually like to feed on corpses and live in groups. They belong to the quite ‘secret’ underground community in the Forbidden Night Forest.

Such filthy creatures with filthy stench are disgusted by wizards who generally like to be clean.

With that mysterious forest map, Rand really found one of their habitats in no time.

He knew that the lungs of this little guy also contained a small amount of unique severe toxicity, and the ingredients contained were extremely corrosive.

Rand wanted to try to extract it to create a unique toxic potion, and see if it could be sold to the outside world to make money.

But he knew that to catch these vigilant little guys, it was not a simple matter, and also to prevent being bitten and poisoned by them!

After thinking about it for a while in place, Rand began his pre-prepared rat-catching plan.

“Then start now.” Rand took off his gray robe, took out a shovel from the storage space and started digging, sorting out the silt, digging out a nearly one-meter deep trench and soil pit, pumping a solid wall, and finally Throw all the corpses of the prey hit in the dirt pit.

After finally finishing his work, he himself ignored it and went to the small jungle to find a suitable habitat.

When three hours passed, Rand walked back slowly again, looking at the pit where many small black figures had already grown.

“Keep squeak…” Dozens of black rotten-tailed rats walked back and forth in the pit, constantly eating the previous animal carcasses, which can be described as a dense bloody scene.

Maybe it was too disgusting, Rand’s eyelids trembled slightly, and there was a feeling of chest discomfort.

Looking at these greedy little guys, Rand finally took out his bows and arrows and began to kill them in situ!

“Rainy…” Arrows shot out one after another.

Soon, ten days passed.

In the wild forest, the sunlight is like moonlight, and the light illuminates the surrounding environment very thinly.

The bushes, the desolate grassland, and the wind from nowhere, the cry of wild beasts–

In such a weird area, the smell of earth permeated the black forest that was silent and noisy for a while.

In an unknown corner of the forest, I saw a young man with brown hair and simple animal skin.

At this moment, his face is full of mud, his body and breath are becoming more wild, as if he merged with the surrounding environment.

“…” Rand held his breath, staring straight ahead, holding the stretched compound bow. The moment he loosened the string, a bursting arrow shot out, and he plunged quite accurately into a red head drinking water by the stream. Horned deer…

“Cracking.”

After a while, Rand was walking on the inverted weeds, carrying a well-treated red horn deer corpse on his shoulders, with heavy steps.

The body training effect brought by the Meditation method can be very effective at this time.

At least, Rand can do a lot of hard work.

Although he looked a little desolate, he was already familiar with the life of this forest. He was very nervous and worried at the beginning, but under the instinct to survive and become stronger, he gradually overcome many troubles and difficulties.

Wherever the boy passed, he could always find weeds growing several points higher than his knees.

The gray wild fruits on the big trees are also full of physiques like basketballs. I don’t know if they can eat them. If they are smashed from the front, they will be choking!

The more you go forward, the taller and thicker the trees are. Some of them resemble the tallest red cedar trees on the earth. Each part is unique. It is estimated that the bark is 30 cm thick, like many tall giants. If a person walks underneath. Like ants, extremely small.

In the lower bushes, some gray vines entangled around the trunk, like a lover’s tight hug, Rand carefully discovered that these vines are not tender fellows——

They can use long branches and leaves to draw other small animals in until they are willing to let go. The dead animal carcasses naturally become the nourishment for their survival.

It didn’t take long for Rand to return to the own resting place, and threw the deer carcass that had just been shot back to the bonfire, and took out a sharp knife to tear apart pieces of fresh meat with good parts.

“Sizzle…” He moved neatly and put the meat slices straight on the crude and simple iron grid to bake.

“Whhhhh…” The red flame burned the charcoal block, licking the air above with fear.

“Zizi…” After a while, the delicious gravy rolled out from the cooked meat, dripping and burning.

“Huhu…” A greedy aroma filled the air, a primitive and purely attractive taste.

At this moment, Rand also threw the deer carcass that had been treated almost the same, and threw it directly into the dug pit trap, causing a rather stimulating ‘commotion’ inside.

Rand ignored too much. After eating the game full of dinner, his expression calmly sat down with Meditation.

During this period of time, he has relied on a lot of knowledge to survive in the wilderness, and he has become accustomed to everything here.

“Cracking.” A strange movement came from the open space next to it.

I saw a wooden spear pierced into the ground vertically, and hung a bloody black-haired animal that was peeled, drop after drop of dark green liquid, flowing down the wooden spear slowly, and flowing into the rough stone pot at the bottom. Inside.

The black rotten-tailed rat is poisonous and corrosive. Rand applied a layer of special graphite to the surface of the stone pot for long-term storage.



During this period of time, Rand stayed away from human settlements, except for survival, basically hunting black rotten-tailed rats.

He threw all the hunted creatures into the pit traps, letting the bloody aura overflow, just to lure those hungry little guys, and on average he could harvest about thirty per day.

After all, the toxicity of each black rotten-tailed rat is limited, and at most half a test tube can be extracted.

Then he used this method of piercing his lungs to extract the toxicity from the black rotten-tailed rat by using gravity, and then brought it back to the academy to configure it as a potent poison.

Most importantly, thanks to the map, Rand was able to find their den so quickly!

This spectacular and terrifying corpse drying site had caused several adventurers who approached to scream and fled in panic a while ago.

In Rand’s opinion, the smell here alone is enough to stop outsiders.

After a long period of time, he has some sense of smell, and he needs to go out regularly to get some breath.

It is worth mentioning that the teenager has recently met several waves of adventure teams in the woods, but fortunately no conflicts have occurred.

Although the college promotes mutual assistance and prohibits apprentices from various departments from fighting and killing people in the college, and violators are severely punished, it does not say that this cannot be done outside the college.

So Rand is still a little worried about encountering the adventure team, after all, he has only one person.

“Today’s three hours of Meditation work, it’s over!”

Rand stood up again, took out the bow and arrow with both hands, standing in front of the stone pit where movement was heard from time to time.

These black rotten-tailed mice have light gray young hairs, small dexterous bodies, and a pair of twinkling bright mung bean eyes, sometimes walking around, sometimes sluggishly in place, and some of them look weirdly at the human beings that appear.

“Haw what…”

Obviously, they don’t know that they will be killed for their own nature.

“…” Rand stared coldly at the many ‘gluttons’ inside, seemingly used to this kind of scene.

At The next moment, he started hunting by lifting the bow and loosening the strings.
