On the fourth day after entering the game, Sun Mo encountered the papaya girl and seemed to have exhausted all his good luck. There were 16 traps, but he didn't gain anything.
"Luckily, I have a bow and arrow."
Sun Mo had already adjusted the bow and arrow. Although the arrow he shot would have a great error rate, Sun Mo was an archery grandmaster. Hence, he could guarantee an 80% accuracy rate within a 30 meter range.
Swoosh!
The wooden arrow flew out and pierced the neck of a rabbit. It kicked a few times and stopped moving.
"Oh yay!"
The papaya girl cheered and ran over. She picked up the rabbit and tied it with a hemp rope before hanging it on her waist.
"Teacher, your bow and arrow are really useful. Can you make one for me too?"
Lu Zhiruo pleaded and passed the arrow back to Sun Mo.
(Sigh!
I really shouldn't have doubted Teacher!)
Even if it was a wooden rod in her teacher's hands, it would be a divine weapon with boundless might.
At this moment, Sun Mo's position in the papaya girl's heart rose to an unprecedented height.
"En!"
Sun Mo didn't mind. Even if Lu Zhiruo couldn't hit her prey, she could use a tactic to threaten them.
In the evening, Sun Mo and Lu Zhiruo returned to the cave. They could finally eat until they were full.
Today, they had hunted a total of three wild pheasants and two rabbits. They had also dug out six bird nests and obtained over 20 bird eggs. It was enough for them to eat for seven days.
"Let's go to further places to explore tomorrow."
Sun Mo told Lu Zhiruo to sleep early while he helped her make the bow and arrow. He also stuck the trimmed bird feathers onto the tail of the wooden arrow with sticky pine resin.
Early the next morning, the two of them brought along five days' worth of rations and set off for their first expedition.
Lu Zhiruo mumbled and tossed a tree branch into the sky. When it landed, they saw that the side of the groove was facing the northwest direction.
"Teacher, why don't you choose?"
Lu Zhiruo was worried that she would lead them the wrong way.
"No need, let's go this way!"
Sun Mo was clearer than anyone else about his unlucky physique.
The two of them walked and stopped. In the afternoon, other than encountering a leopard, they didn't encounter any other large ferocious beasts. On the contrary, they killed many small animals.
Right now, Lu Zhiruo's waist was filled with small animals. From afar, it looked like an apron made of beast skin.
Maybe it was because the tall and dense trees blocked the sky, but the sky in the hills darkened faster than the plains.
At dusk, Sun Mo heard a loud tiger roar.
Birds scattered and wild beasts ran.
However, Sun Mo's spirits stirred.
"Go!"
This tiger's roar was filled with anger. Perhaps the king of beasts was fighting with some large ferocious beast, and he might be able to take advantage of the situation.
Over ten minutes later, Sun Mo's vision suddenly opened up as he saw a large lake.
It turned out that the tiger was chasing away other beasts that drank water.
Sun Mo hid in the bushes and saw a white ferocious tiger slowly leaving. Behind it, there was the corpse of a brown bear lying by the lake.
"There will be bear paws for dinner."
Sun Mo was very happy. He suppressed his agitation and waited for over ten minutes. After ascertaining that the white tiger had left, he walked toward the brown bear's corpse.
Whoosh!
Sun Mo pulled out his stone dagger.
Lu Zhiruo knew that her battle prowess was low. Hence, she gave this sharpest weapon to Sun Mo.
"This bearskin is not bad, it can be made into two sets of leather clothes. There's still some left."
Sun Mo squatted beside the bear's corpse and was about to make a move when the brown bear suddenly lifted its arm and slapped over.
Hu!
The bear's paw was extremely imposing as if it could split mountains and shatter rocks.
"Damn, pretending to be dead!"
Sun Mo jumped in fright. His face was scratched, leaving behind three scratch marks. If his reaction was a little slower, his head would have been smashed.
Since he couldn't get close, Sun Mo pulled his bow and arrow, wanting to shoot it to death.
"Teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo pulled Sun Mo's arm. "It's so pitiful, can you let it go?"
Sun Mo frowned.
Roar!
The brown bear roared at Sun Mo, wanting to drag him away.
"It's a mother bear that just gave birth. If it dies, the little bear will die as well."
Lu Zhiruo pleaded.
"There's still a little bear?"
Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that the lucky mascot had an innocent gaze, Sun Mo really wanted to say, 'Let's go capture the little bear and use it as food.'
"Don't be afraid. Teacher is very kind and won't hurt you."
Lu Zhiruo spoke to the brown bear and slowly got closer. She waved the herb in her hand. "Look, I have some herbs that can help you stop the bleeding!"
Sun Mo had picked these herbs on the way here.
The papaya girl picked up two stones nearby and smashed the herbs. After that, she applied them on the brown bear's neck. There was a huge wound there.
The white tiger had eaten its fill. When it came to drink water, it saw the brown bear and started fighting. To the white tiger, this was the territory it had marked with the scent of urine. Anyone who intruded would die.
Luckily, the white tiger wasn't hungry, or the brown bear would be dead for sure.
With Lu Zhiruo taking care of the brown bear, Sun Mo started to explore this lake.
There were fish and prawns inside, and he could make a straw cage to catch fish in the lake.
Moreover, there was a water source here. This meant that there would be a large number of wild beasts gathering here. It would be much easier for him to hunt.
Sun Mo saw a herd of deer and a flock of wild ducks. Not far away, there were also many wild birds in the shallow water.
"As expected, water is the source of life!"
Sun Mo was very happy.
It would take two days to travel from the cave to here. It was too far, so Sun Mo decided to settle down nearby.
The only regret was that he didn't find any salt.
Just when Sun Mo was thinking about catching a deer as a mount, Lu Zhiruo's nervous cry rang out.
"Teacher, there's a wild boar!"
Sun Mo immediately dashed back.
A wild boar the size of a small mountain with fangs was staring at Lu Zhiruo and the brown bear.
The female brown bear bared its teeth and growled in a low voice.
Lu Zhiruo was holding a spear, but it was a pity that this thing definitely wouldn't be able to pierce through the thick shell on the back of the wild boar.
"Zhiruo, run!"
The instant Sun Mo saw the wild boar, he didn't want to fight anymore.
These wild boars would mess around on the pine trees, causing their hair to be covered in sticky pine resin. They would then roll around among the rocks and grass. Hence, as time passed, a thick shell would form on their bodies.
Other than the eyes and belly, there were no flaws on the wild boar's body.
Sun Mo only had a primitive longbow now, and it wouldn't be able to break through the wild boar's defense.
"But what about the mother bear?"
Lu Zhiruo was conflicted.
"I'll do my best and leave the rest to the heavens!"
Sun Mo was helpless and aimed at the wild boar's eyes.
Swoosh!
The wooden arrow shot out.
Roar!
The wild boar growled and dodged fiercely. But at the next instant, it was shot in the nose by the second arrow.
It was a pity that the arrow wasn't strong enough and didn't penetrate its flesh.
Roar!
The wild boar charged.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sun Mo shot out arrows consecutively, continuously hitting the wild boar's head. However, the lethality was too low. It was only when the wild boar got close to the brown bear and was about to headbutt it to death that an arrow luckily pierced into its eye.
Squeak!
The wild boar screamed in agony. When it collided with the brown bear, it didn't manage to dodge its paw and was slapped away.
The wild boar struggled a few times and climbed up. It glanced at the brown bear and then at Sun Mo before retreating into the forest.
It had wanted to pick up a corpse, but it didn't expect to kick a steel plate.
"Teacher, quickly save it. The mother bear is about to die!"
Lu Zhiruo saw that the brown bear's wound had split open even wider.
