"Normally, once the wild beasts that inhabit this kind of territory disappear for a while, other animals should come and occupy this ownerless territory. How come there is nothing here?" Jiang Mi muttered as he walked.
The jungle was very hot and stuffy. Even though she tried to wear light clothes, her clothes were still not cool enough for safety reasons, and she was now soaked all over.
"Looking at the size of this forest, the beast's territory should be very large. Maybe we haven't encountered it yet. Let's go around again." Jiang Xun said in a deep voice, pulling aside a branch that was lying in front of him.
Their current route is an L shape. They had been walking in a straight line before, but now they turned 90 degrees and moved sideways.
Perhaps because of the surrounding area, we walked for more than an hour without encountering any large animals, and didn’t even see a cave.
Just when Jiang Mi thought that this exploration was over, the scene before him changed.
A sunken valley appeared in front of the two people.
The valley was not big. The two were now standing on the edge of the valley. Diagonally opposite was a waterfall about two meters wide with a rather turbulent flow. The distance from the top of the valley to the bottom was about ten meters. The valley was surrounded by a variety of plants, which looked lush and green. Directly in front of the two was a narrow crack. The water from the waterfall gathered into a pool at the bottom of the valley, and the water in the pool formed a small stream that flowed out from the crack.
Even without going down, Jiang Mi saw several large animals drinking water next to the small pond.
Its body shape is very similar to that of a deer, with only two short horns on its head. Its fur is reddish-brown all over, but the hair on its tail is relatively long, swinging back and forth like a horse's tail. Its hooves are similar to those of a horse, but a little smaller. Its face is a bit like that of a donkey, but it looks pretty harmless.
And there was not just one animal of this kind. There were about five or six distributed around the pond. They should be a group.
Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun carefully lay on the edge of the valley, afraid that any noise would scare them.
"It seems to be a herbivore." Jiang Mi observed for a while and then lowered his voice and whispered.
Jiang Xun hummed and stared at the ground below without blinking. The animals were very alert, their oval ears were always turning left and right to keep a close eye on their surroundings.
"I'm going to take action. Let's catch one first. Brother, you watch over from the side. The distance is a bit too far this time. I'm not sure if I can control it. I may need your help." Jiang Mi quietly stretched out a hand, his eyes fell on the closest one that was eating grass with its head down. His supernatural power surged, and his palm began to tighten slightly.
As she moved, a transparent circle silently appeared on the neck of the animal that was grazing, and it was gradually shrinking with the passage of time, but the animal was unaware of it and continued to happily nibble on the moss on the bluestone with its head down.
"Got it!" Jiang Mi clenched his palms tightly, and the ring instantly stuck tightly to the animal's neck.
The touch of the foreign object instantly made the animal panic, and it began to kick its four hooves in an attempt to escape. However, no matter how it moved, it could not shake the transparent collar around its neck. Its panic even made the other animals become restless and run around anxiously.
"Damn! You're so strong! Brother! Anesthetic! Come on! I can't control it anymore!" Jiang Mi's forehead broke out in sweat almost instantly, and his face turned visibly paler.
She only has the first-level supernatural power now, and the distance she is most comfortable with is within five meters. But now she has to use it at a distance more than twice that, and she also has to endure the opponent's resistance. It's really too much of a drain on her.
Jiang Xun didn't hesitate. When Jiang Mi controlled the animal, he had already taken out the anesthetic, aimed at its butt, and used his supernatural power to control the anesthetic needle and inserted it directly.
In just ten seconds, the animal fell to the ground on its knees, completely powerless. However, because Jiang Mi's collar did not move, its neck was still pulled and hung in the air, with the upper half of its body hanging in the air.
The inexplicable fall of their companion puzzled the other animals around them. Some of them were even brave enough to go forward to check and sniff. But perhaps it was the leader who gave the order, and the others began to evacuate quickly, leaving along the valley crack without looking back.
Jiang Mi withdrew her supernatural power, and the whole person looked like she had been fished out of the water. Her face was pale, sweat was pouring down her face, and she was breathing heavily with her hands on the ground. Jiang Xun was setting up the ropes down the valley while waiting for her to recover.
Seeing that her breathing was finally no longer rapid, he asked, "Do you feel better?"
Jiang Mi nodded, got up from the ground, wiped the sweat off his face, took out two sips of water and said, "I didn't expect my ability to be consumed so quickly in less than a minute. I thought I could hold on for a few more minutes."
Once the most suitable distance for casting supernatural powers is exceeded, the amount of supernatural power consumed will increase exponentially.
And the most important thing is whether the psychic's mental strength can keep up.
Jiang Mi was a person who was reborn once. Although she did not even live to the age of 30 in her previous life, her mental strength was still greatly improved. This was also the key to her success in doubling the casting distance.
Without this incredible mental strength, let alone more than ten meters, it would be amazing for her to be able to reach seven or eight meters.
The two of them followed the rope down to the bottom of the valley. The temperature at the bottom was much cooler than above. Jiang Mi had just finished sweating and was suddenly shocked by the damp and cold air at the bottom of the valley. He shivered all over and his mind became much clearer.
Jiang Mi took a few steps towards the animal and found that its body was also huge. It looked bigger than the wolf-like and tiger-like beast that he caught last time, but it might also be because of its long legs.
Touching its fur, it felt very smooth and soft, not rough at all. Jiang Mi felt something was not right, so he moved his hand to its abdomen and felt it carefully for a moment. A surprised look appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Xun and shouted, "Brother, come here, there seems to be something wrong with this thing!"
Jiang Xun was using glass bottles to store various plants in the valley. The valley was humid and there were many aquatic plants and mosses, which had never been seen before.
Hearing Jiang Mi's call, Jiang Xun covered a glass bottle and walked towards her.
"It seems to be pregnant." Jiang Mi said uncertainly.
Because the animal's belly was not big and looked round at first glance like it was full, she didn't think about being pregnant at all. Just now, when she was touching it, she suddenly felt something move under her hand, but under the effect of anesthetics, this deer-like animal would definitely not move, so she began to suspect whether she was pregnant.
Jiang Xun reached out and touched its belly carefully. After feeling it carefully for a moment, he said uncertainly: "It should be pregnant. This is a good harvest."
"Will anesthesia have a negative effect on it?" Jiang Mi was a little worried. (End of this chapter)
