Although there are still a few days left before the system's deadline, Wu You is preparing to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain today.
If time weren't so tight, he would have liked to go abroad first, then get a gun license, and buy some guns and ammunition to bring into the Beast Mountain. Then he would slaughter any dog that gets in his way.
Unfortunately, getting a passport takes time, and getting a visa takes time and luck. Wu You didn't want to try what the consequences would be if the application was rejected.
The formula for the Rejuvenating Ointment is almost complete. Bai Yanxi just broke the leg bones of two chickens, then tied them with clamps and applied some experimental ointment to them.
Ignoring the two chickens' resentful looks, Old Bai happily went for a walk.
When they arrived in the courtyard, they saw Wu You unpacking packages one by one. There were several boxes that had already been opened, and all sorts of tools were scattered on the ground.
"Hey kid, what are you planning to do so early in the morning?"
Wu Yougang opened a large box, inside which was a bunch of various parts.
This is a powerful hand crossbow.
Although it's almost impossible to buy those old crossbows on Taobao now, his classmate had some, so he spent 2,000 yuan to have them shipped to him.
On the ground were also found wading hiking boots, chemical sprays, mosquito and insect repellent, high-strength ropes, a lighter, compressed biscuits, a thermal imaging camera, night vision goggles, binoculars, a Swiss Army knife, a machete, a stun gun, a tent, and a high-strength hiking backpack.
To be honest, Wu You felt that she couldn't possibly bring so much stuff, but she still bought it all and would carefully select the items before setting off.
Upon hearing Bai Yanxi's words, Wu You continued tidying up his things.
"Grandpa Bai, would you believe me if I said I was going to go mountain climbing?"
Bai Yanxi stared at the crossbow and stun gun on the ground for a long time: "I believe you, of course I believe you, I'll believe whatever you say, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll come back."
After saying that, the old man hummed a folk song and went to check on the medicinal seedlings on the back mountain.
Wu You glanced at Bai Yanxi's retreating figure. That old man was shrewd; he knew the truth but pretended not to.
...
After lunch, Wu You lay on the bed and crammed on Bear Grylls' survival skills.
After a while, seeing that it was almost two o'clock, Wu You didn't want to delay any longer, lest he lose his spirit.
I put on my hiking backpack.
Select the Beast Mountain map.
In his mind, a huge three-dimensional real-world map appeared, mostly shrouded in fog, with only a small part on the edge visible, which was part of the grassland and forest that Wu You had visited last time.
When you want to look at it in detail, the map can be freely zoomed in and out according to your mind.
There are four distinct, irregular boundaries around the vast expanse of fog, and there seems to be space beyond that, but you can't drag it there.
Without hesitation, Wu You chose to descend onto a tree that was relatively easy to climb.
The next moment, Wu You disappeared from his room.
With a whoosh, he appeared directly in the tree. Wu You lost his balance and almost fell off the tree.
After regaining my balance, I wiped the sweat from my brow and looked at the height of about 10 meters; I was indeed a little dizzy.
Damn! If I had fallen like this right after coming in, I might have been finished.
...
This is a primeval forest, and perhaps only Wu You, a human, has ever set foot here for countless years. Birds chirp and insects hum, and rustling sounds can be heard from under the trees.
The treetops are covered with dense foliage, so even during the day, not much sunlight gets in.
Last time, because of Wu You's fire, he didn't see many animals when he entered the jungle, but this time, as soon as he entered, he felt that the whole jungle was alive.
Undeterred, I opened the system and selected the animal pen, but the ghost leech was still unable to be released.
He swallowed hard.
Alright, we still need to get moving, but let's rest for 10 minutes first to calm down.
"roar"
A beastly roar startled Wu You, who was relaxing.
Right under his tree, a brightly colored jungle leopard pounced on a passing hog; the leopard had been lying in ambush behind the bushes.
"Oh my god!" Wu You's heart pounded wildly.
There was absolutely nothing to be found just now. If I hadn't rested and gone straight down, I would be in that same situation as that pig.
The leopard quickly dragged the boar away, disappearing behind the bushes not far away, the rustling sound gradually fading into the distance.
How did Bear Grylls manage to film so many episodes in the wild without dying? This thought flashed through Wu You's mind in a daze.
How about we find three small animals and end this alchemy session?
However, Wu You immediately dismissed the thought. The mission required the refinement of high-quality materials into a powerful creature, and the standard should not be too low. How could 24 points of alchemical energy be enough to waste?
After waiting for a full half hour, Wu You glanced at his mechanical watch and prepared to go downstairs.
First, I sprayed a ring of insect repellent.
After carefully scanning the surrounding bushes and shrubs several times, and taking out a thermal imager to look around, Wu You climbed down the tree step by step to make sure there were no wild animals lying in ambush.
Wu You had a plan in mind for this alchemy, so after setting the target to be found in the system, he started to move along a navigation path on the map.
Unlike animals, perhaps due to their long reaction time, plants can be caught almost instantly upon contact. During his walk, Wu You collected a large number of plants, including several towering trees that would take more than a dozen people to encircle.
...
I checked the system's 3D map, and I should be getting close to the vicinity.
Wu You slowly slowed his pace and carefully walked in one direction.
After walking for more than two minutes, I quietly bent down, parted the bushes in front of me, and looked ahead. My pupils contracted.
A dozen meters ahead, under a low tree, a giant python, its thickest part reaching the thigh, was tightly coiled around a wild boar, occasionally making a grinding sound as the boar's ribs broke.
Hide first, and wait until that big snake eats the wild boar before you make your move!
Hid yourself in the bushes, carefully watching your surroundings while waiting quietly.
A dozen minutes later, Wu You witnessed the python swallow the whole wild boar. Its belly swelled up to an exaggerated degree, and now it was difficult for it to move at all.
Wu You decided to make his move. He stretched his tense and sore hands and feet slightly, then crept around to the python under the tree.
Pythons of this size are nowhere near as swift as those in Anaconda. On the contrary, they move very slowly, and anyone who spots them early can usually escape, let alone one that has just eaten a wild boar.
Therefore, Wu You wasn't too worried during the process of getting closer to him.
When I got close to the snake, it was still motionless. I looked at its head, which seemed to be behind the tree and hadn't been noticed yet. I gently touched its tail.
Select capture.
Note: Capture failed; target is resisting.
Resistance? Wu You suddenly looked at the snake's head, which had been behind the tree. Now it had emerged from behind the tree and was slightly raising its head to stare at Wu You's location. When Wu You turned his head, the snake's head also moved slightly.
A surge of energy rose behind him, and a fierce internal struggle ensued: should he run?
Stay calm, stay calm. Jungle pythons only have dynamic vision. As long as I don't move, it will gradually lower its guard.
But the snake moved.
The python slowly moved its body, bringing its head closer to its tail, then raised its head and stared motionlessly in the direction it had just been touched, its tongue flicking in and out of its mouth from time to time.
The snake's bite was only half a meter away from Wu You.
Wu You remained crouched, not daring to move. He couldn't run away now, even if he wanted to. Although the python would probably vomit out the wild boar in its belly before attacking, he dared not take that bet.
I couldn't help but feel grateful for the olive-scented insect repellent I had bought earlier; it would be helpful in case the snake could be identified by its scent.
After a 30-second standoff that felt like a death standoff to Wu You, the giant python seemed to have finally confirmed something, and slowly lowered its head to lie down on the ground to rest.
Although his legs were very sore, Wu You maintained the posture and waited for another minute before slowly reaching his hand toward the snake's tail, which was about a palm's length away, at a snail's pace.
