Chapter 3 Tracking
Walking out of the limestone forest again, the time displayed by the data vision has reached 9:00 am. No more delay, the “live fish medicine” promised to Sanji needs to be supplemented has not yet been supplemented with raw materials.
“Live Fish Potion” is a popular item in “Baishi Pharmacy”.
However, this medicine is not used to cure people, but to improve the survival rate of silver scale fish in Hong Kong. After the fishermen have caught the silver scale fish, adding the potion to the tank can greatly increase the survival rate of this expensive but very delicate fish.
Many nobles and big businessmen came here to buy silver scale fish, a precious specialty unique to Leopold’s Sea Territory.
Naturally, as the tide rises, the boat floats are in short supply.
This is also an original invention made by Leo grandfather after examining the local needs. For a small seaside town with a population of less than 20,000 people, although it has a certain value, it is not enviable. cause trouble.
To look at it from the perspective of a transmigrator today, I have to admire the old steward’s savory vision and brilliant means. Without this respectable old man, the aristocratic Eldest Young Master, who was only ten years old, would not have been able to live to this day.
Pushing his thoughts back to his heart, Alwin got to work.
By noon, thanks to his predecessor’s familiarity with the mountains and forests, Alwin had completed all the collection work, sitting on a large rock and enjoying his lunch leisurely.
A large piece of barley bread, some dried fish, and a bacon sausage, served with mountain spring water in a water bag, is nothing in a previous life, but it is already extremely important for people of this era. Rare enjoyment.
In the meantime, Alwin made new discoveries about his “golden fingernails”. The recognition ability of the digital vision is extremely strong, even if the medical herb is swept by the eyes, it can be marked instantly, which greatly improves the efficiency of herb collection.
After lunch, seeing that it was still early, Alwin was going to go deeper into the forest to see if he could catch some prey and enrich his recipes.
Because Alwin was on a tree when he was gathering herbs just now and found the marks left by other hunters. This sign means that someone has found a prey that is beyond their ability and needs to gather their companions to hunt together.
The hunters around here are basically acquaintances, and there is no need to worry about attracting people with ulterior motives.
Since there is nothing to do, Alwin patted the long sword around his waist and decided to follow and see if he can help.
He still has confidence in his martial power. After all, his predecessor was also a son of an aristocrat. Sword technique cultivation started at the age of eight was not a decoration. In one-on-one combat, Leo The hunters near Pod City are no longer their opponents.
If he can reach the height of his sword technique enlightenment teacher Leo grandfather, become an official Knight, and step into the ranks of transcender, Alwin believes that this mountain forest will no longer threaten his existence.
Following the traces left by the hunter in front, Alwin is like a dexterous ape traversing the mountains and forests quickly, this time’s itinerary Alwin doesn’t think there will be any accident, but if it goes slowly, a little spills of It’s even more frustrating when there’s no war left.
Although he is only thirteen years old, his long-standing sword technique Cultivation has given Alwin broad shoulders and a strong physique, coupled with his dexterous skills, the intricate forest terrain can’t be difficult for him at all, at least the forest close to the city is not difficult for him. There aren’t too many Peak Predators that could threaten him.
Probably because lunch was delayed too much, Alwin has been tracking in the forest for two hours without seeing the silhouette of the hunter in front.
If it weren’t for the traces left lingering on the periphery of the forest, and another footprint joined in, Alwin would have planned to give up the hunt and turned back.
“This mark is Graeme and his hound. Did this guy come to hunt today?”
Through the later mark Alwin, he recognized his friend, Graham. Rhyme, it’s not good to just walk away. Graeme was also one of the best hunters in the neighborhood, but the sign was still calling for a companion, which Alwin guessed was a big guy, even if the two seasoned hunters couldn’t handle it.
Like this kind of sudden hunting behavior, experienced hunters can judge the strength comparison with their prey. In the early stage, they called their companions like wolves, and they would start hunting after they gathered enough hunters. kill.
If the number of companions gathered at the end is not enough, they will simply give up hunting. No matter how valuable the prey is, the hunters here have enough wisdom to restrain greed.
As all seasoned hunters know, the survival of a hunter is not the sharpness of the minions, but the moderation.
While complaining about this powerful unknown prey, he set off again and continued to track until the forest was a little dark, and it was 4:00 pm in the field of vision, and Alwin finally caught up with the other side’s trail.
But at first sight Alwin knew something was wrong!
There was a puddle of blood on the ground, and it was still fresh. Even though Alwin was not a professional hunter, he could still tell the difference between human blood and animal blood. I just don’t know if it was left by Graeme or another hunter, and judging from the amount of bleeding, no one was saved.
Alwin’s face was a little ugly. For coastal cities, the price of wild animals in the mountains is much higher than that of seafood, and this magical world forest is not a place that ordinary people can go to. Every hunter who has been active in the mountains for many years has two brushes.
It is no ordinary wild beast that can make an experienced hunter die on the spot without any resistance.
Without hesitation, I reopened the data-based vision, and the powerful recognition ability quickly marked everything in the field of vision. After removing the useless information, the messy footprints of the two people on the ground appeared, and a bloodstain extending into the distance became conspicuous under the instruction of the digital vision.
Strangely, there was no trace of the perpetrator at all except for an additional hound’s footprint.
Things are getting a little trickier.
Squinting his eyes, Alwin is at war between heaven and man. Having watched countless suspense dramas, he knows that the most terrifying thing in the world is not the beast but the unknown!
But from the traces left, the surviving hunter has followed along. Judging from the hound’s actions, that person is likely to be its owner, Graeme. Even if one person has been damaged, he still chooses to continue to follow. The only possibility is that he feels that the danger is still manageable and wants to take back the body of his companion.
Gritting his teeth, Alwin stepped towards the direction where the bloodstain disappeared followed along.
“Damn beast, stop! Leave Hank with me!”
A young hunter in his twenties, armed with a bow and arrow, ran wildly through the intricate woodlands, Even if he was angry, it didn’t affect his dexterity in the slightest. The twisted roots exposed on the ground, the slippery moss, and the meandering stream could not hinder him in the slightest.
But even with this skill, it is still inevitable to pull farther and farther from the silhouette flying over the treetops ahead.
“sou!” An arrow was nailed to the tree trunk, and a huge black cat with a thin man in its mouth had nimbly jumped to another big tree that could only be hugged by several people.
Ignoring the meaning of the human below, the black feline moved quickly on the treetops with its spills of war, and disappeared into the completely dark forest in a blink of an eye.
“Ah—!!! Damn it!”
After the hunter who lost his comrade vented, he gradually calmed down and knew that he had no hope of regaining his comrade by himself.
Now I can only hope that the big cat, like a leopard, will have enough food reserves, and what will be left when I go back and lead the large army.
With a kick from the hound, who was still barking overhead, Graeme turned back, hoping to get out of the woods before the sun went down.
“Hoo!”
Just as he turned around, a gust of wind fell from above his head, and this cunning predator simply didn’t leave!
After hiding the food, he turned back and launched a fierce attack while Graeme let down his guard.
