Chapter 98: Fishing Law Enforcement in the Bamboo Forest

Wen Ning chased all the way and saw a large bamboo forest at the edge of the forest.

They grow in clumps and clusters, and they are growing very well.

Moreover, there are fewer tall trees in this area, and all you can see are bamboos as thick as bowls.

It seems that this is the bamboo rat’s hometown!

"Huzi, strike when the time is right!"

The tiger had been ready to attack. When it heard Wen Ning say this, it roared and rushed out.

It rushed towards the bamboo rat that was fleeing in panic at phantom speed.

"squeak!"

Finally, when the bamboo rat was about to escape into a cave deep in the bamboo forest, it was caught by Hu Zi.

[Your pet successfully killed 1 mutant bamboo rat and gained 5 pet experience. 】

"What? Only 5?"

Wen Ning pulled out the Monster Encyclopedia.

I slapped my forehead when I saw that the risk factor of bamboo rats was only in single digits.

There's really no threat.

Look at Hu Zi.

"Come on, your goal today is to shoot 60 bamboo rats to death!"

"Ah!" But they all went into the hole and didn't come out!

A sly gleam flashed across Wen Ning's eyes.

"It's not that simple, just wait."

Wen Ning took out his axe and chopped down a bamboo with two clicks.

A white light flashed.

[Congratulations on winning Purple Bamboo*4, Bamboo Leaf*2]

[Purple bamboo: Tenacity is its synonym, and it is one of the specialties of the Morning Forest. The purple bamboo shoots it produces are the favorite of mutant bamboo rats. 】

oh? It turns out that this forest is called Dawn Forest.

But are bamboo shoots really that useful?

Seeing this, Wen Ning immediately chopped down another bamboo.

[Congratulations on receiving 2 purple bamboos, 2 bamboo leaves, and 1 purple bamboo shoot]

The explosion rate is okay.

Wen Ning put away the bamboo leaves. The leaves looked quite wide and thick. He could try using them to make rice dumplings when he got home.

The bamboo joints were temporarily thrown aside, and Wen Ning picked up the bamboo shoots.

[Purple Bamboo Shoots: Bamboo shoots with a fragrant aroma, produced in the purple bamboo forest in spring. After being peeled, they can attract bamboo rats within a ten-meter range to come and collect them. 】

My goodness, isn't this a trap?

Originally, Wen Ning planned to wrap the torch with bamboo leaves, then find the bamboo rat's hole and use smoke to force the bamboo rat out.

But now it seems that there seems to be an easier way!

"Huzi, get ready. Wait for me to set the trap, and then you just sit there and wait for me to catch you!"

Hu Zi stood tall and majestically beside Wen Ning.

Wen Ning found a long bamboo pole and let it dry up naturally.

Take out a rope and tie up the purple bamboo shoots.

Then use a dagger to cut through the bamboo shoots.

Suddenly a fresh fragrance wafted out, and the bamboo shoots in Wen Ning's hand revealed their pure white flesh.

"Slurp."

"It smells so good! I'll dig some out and stir-fry it with meat later!"

Wen Ning swallowed his saliva. Who wouldn’t feel dizzy after smelling this bamboo shoot, let alone the bamboo rat?

Moreover, there are no bamboo shoots sprouting in the bamboo forest now, which means it is not spring yet.

The reason why the items dropped when she cut down bamboo is probably related to the system settings.

But it doesn’t matter, rare things are valuable.

With this fragrance, even if all the bamboo rats in the cave were hibernating, Wen Ning was confident that he could wake them up!

“Get ready!”

He reminded Hu Zi quietly.

Wen Ning erected the bamboo pole and the bamboo shoots hung on it, swaying in the wind.

The distance this fragrance spreads is definitely more than ten meters!

Sure enough, after just a few dozen seconds, a rustling sound came from the ground.

From the few holes that Wen Ning could see, brown noses stretched out one after another, sniffing left and right.

After a while, bamboo rats, unable to resist the fragrance, popped up one by one.

Wen Ning hid aside and watched. Hu Zi's small body suddenly exploded and rushed towards the two nearest bamboo rats.

“Snap! Snap!”

[Your pet successfully killed 2 bamboo rats, and gained 10 pet experience]

In just over ten seconds, Wen Ning heard the system prompt sound three times.

Hu Zi's experience bar also slowly increased.

Five minutes later, no more bamboo rats appeared in this area.

"Good, we killed 11 of them. With the one in front, that's 12. Let's change places!"

Wen Ning stood up and walked to the bamboo pole, holding it up, and walked to another part of the bamboo forest.

This time, bamboo rats popped up before they were even settled.

Wen Ning quickly hid aside, fearing that he would be too obvious and scare the bamboo rat.

Watching Hu Zi moving back and forth non-stop, the scene is like playing whack-a-mole.

The monster encyclopedia says that bamboo rats will drop bamboo rat meat, but Hu Zi fought it for so long and didn't get a single piece of meat.

Wen Ning once again admired Hu Zi's unruly attitude.

After this wave of fighting was over, a few pieces of meat finally appeared.

Wen Ning didn't want to eat it, so he just gave it all to Hu Zi as a snack.

Just like that, we shot after shooting and moved to another location. It only took less than two hours to kill 60 bamboo rats!

[Your pet successfully killed 1 bamboo rat and gained 5 pet experience. 】

【bite! When the pet experience is full, your pet will automatically upgrade. The upgrade time is 60 minutes. 】

Upgraded!

Before Wen Ning could feel happy, Hu Zi had already stumbled over to him.

"Ah!" Benhu is going to sleep!

[Upgrading, countdown 59 minutes and 55 seconds]

The familiar countdown appeared above Hu Zi's head, and Wen Ning felt relieved.

The backpack cannot accommodate a pet, so Wen Ning decided to send Hu Zi back first.

There is still room for further exploration in this bamboo forest.

Back to the shelter, Hu Zi was put to bed.

Wen Ning drank a glass of coconut milk to replenish his energy.

Put the meat you just collected in Hu Zi’s rice bowl.

Went out again.

Return to the bamboo forest.

Wen Ning took out a fine iron axe and started chopping down the bamboo forest.

"I am a lumberjack, and I love chopping trees the most..."

Humming a little tune, Wen Ning quickly chopped down a cluster of purple bamboo, and 10 big round bamboo shoots emerged.

Delicious!

Wen Ning stood up, turned and walked towards the next cluster.

"Um......."

Wen Ning frowned slightly, then looked up at the sun.

Was this cluster of bamboo originally located in this position?

Is it perspective bias?

Wen Ning shook his head. It couldn't be that Zizhu was moving by herself, right?

He turned around and continued to cut trees, still humming a tune.

But his eyes were fixed on the shadow cast by a group of bamboos on the ground behind him.

Something is wrong!

The shadow of this bamboo moves so fast!

Wen Ning turned around abruptly, looking at the group of bamboo that had just moved with extremely precise eyes. ! ! !

The bamboo leaves trembled instantly, as if they were frightened.

Does this bamboo have life?

Wen Ning glanced at the other bamboos and observed them for a while without making any expression.

The problem is apparent at a glance.

The leaves of this cluster of purple bamboo are darker than those of other purple bamboos. The bamboo trunks look stronger, and the color between the bamboo nodes is dark green. If you look closely, you can even see a faint purple color.

After confirming the special nature of this bamboo forest, Wen Ning raised the axe in his hand.

Pretend nothing happened.

He walked to the bamboo forest, swung his axe, and chopped at the bamboos...

A bamboo next to it.

call.

A sense of relief came from beside me, a palpable feeling of relief.

This bamboo looks quite like a human.

Wen Ning chopped down the bamboo with two clangs, and then stood in front of the bamboo forest.

This time, he took back the axe directly.

The next second, the serrated blade appeared in Wen Ning's hand.
