Chapter 011 Into the Mountains
Energy liquid is the energy used by various interstellar technological products that require power. Energy liquid is used in small electrical appliances, while large machinery requires energy stones. Energy stones are divided into primary, intermediate, advanced and even special grades, and these things are all available in the mall.
Lu Xuan didn't have anything that needed energy liquid in his hand for the time being, so he just played with it in his hand for a moment and then put it into the space.
He opened the system mall and took a look, and found that with the completion of another achievement, several more items were unlocked in the mall, including several different styles of clothing, shoes, trauma medical kits, hiking poles, single-person tents, and some daily necessities such as insect repellent and hand sanitizer.
Many of them were things that could be used in the mountains, and the prices were not too high, only about one or two hundred points at most, so he could definitely afford them.
However, he had no plans to buy it for the time being. He just took a quick look and got an idea in his mind before shutting down the system and returning to his room.
I kept thinking about tomorrow's itinerary in my mind, and reviewed the stockpiling plan I had just made. I closed my eyes only when I felt sleepy, and my breathing gradually became longer.
-
Early in the morning, when it was still dark and only a few early risers in the village were busy preparing breakfast, Lu Xuan set out.
In order to reassure Lu Qing and Lei Yan, he continued to carry the basket with the rice, flour, bacon, medicinal herbs, machete and other items prepared by Lu Qing for him. But when he got to the mountain, he put all the things into the space and traveled light, and turned on the live broadcast by the way.
Soon, many viewers who had made advance reservations for the live broadcast flocked into the live broadcast room.
[The host is up early today! ]
[Disaster is imminent, so of course we need to be more aware of the situation. What are your plans for today, host? Are you going to go on a hunting spree as soon as you get up in the mountains?]
Lu Xuan stretched his arms and legs to warm up. "I won't go on a hunting spree, but I can certainly find a chance to show you some of my skills today."
[? Didn't you show it before? How else do you want to show it?]
I haven't been following you for long, but I don't think you're the type to brag. I'm looking forward to it! Just show off! I'm just worried you won't show off! The more exciting the content, the better. I love it!
Lu Xuan smiled and did not answer the audience who asked him what he was going to do. He just quickened his pace and ran into the mountains.
The deep mountains were overgrown with weeds and tree roots everywhere. People who were not used to walking there would easily be thrown down. Even if they could barely keep their bodies steady, their walking speed would be greatly reduced. But Lu Xuan was different. He seemed to have long been accustomed to the rugged mountain roads. Whenever he encountered an obstacle, he would easily jump over it. Sometimes he would even jump directly onto a tree and shuttle back and forth between the branches. His speed not only did not slow down at all, but became faster and faster, almost leaving an afterimage.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched the scenery whizzing by on the screen: Yes, I feel a little dizzy.
After running for almost an hour, Lu Xuan slowed down and gradually stopped.
The place that would take Lu Xuan an hour to reach at his speed was already at a depth that ordinary people might not be able to reach even after walking for half a day. It was a truly remote deep mountain forest.
The surrounding trees are obviously taller and more lush than those at the foot of the mountain. There is a thick layer of humus on the ground, and your entire calf will almost be buried in it if you step on it. If you listen carefully, you can hear the indistinguishable calls of wild animals in the forest.
Needless to say, the audience in the live broadcast room all knew that the danger level here was much higher than the area where Lu Xuan had been wandering around the past two days.
Sure enough, before they could make any comments, a huge wild boar appeared in front of Lu Xuan who was walking slowly forward. Immediately afterwards, several other wild boars of the same kind appeared around him, busy eating grass.
It's a group of wild boars!
Unfortunately, because Lu Xuan did not deliberately slow down his steps, the wild boars had already discovered Lu Xuan's figure and looked towards him.
The most aggressive wild boar among them seemed to be ready to rush over and attack.
Barrage:
[Wow! We actually ran into a herd of wild boars!]
[Previously, we encountered wild boars individually and defeated them one by one. This time, we encountered six or seven at once. Can the host still handle them? We are not in danger just after entering the mountains.]
[You promised to show us something, but now you're going to fail? ]
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly and said calmly, "It's impossible for the car to flip over. Open your eyes and watch carefully."
He stretched his arms and legs, then hooked his finger at the largest wild boar across from him, "Come on."
The wild boar seemed to sense his provocation, and let out a low, even more aggressive grunt, then rushed over like a cannonball.
The other wild boars seemed to have received an order and launched an attack at the same time. The offensive of the beasts, which weighed several tons in total, caused the nearby ground to vibrate slightly, and the sound was quite powerful.
Faced with such an attack that would terrify ordinary people, Lu Xuan didn't even frown. When the leader boar was about to pierce him with its sharp fangs, he took a deep leap and easily dodged it. At the same time, he raised his leg and spun around to kick the other approaching wild boar hard.
The good sound reception of the live broadcast system allowed the audience in the live broadcast room to clearly hear the sound of breaking wind, and then the wild boar was kicked out. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, it happened to fall on the sharp branch of a broken tree not far away and was directly pierced through.
Bright red blood flowed down the branches to the ground, and the wild boar screamed in pain, so shrill that it made the audience in the live broadcast room's scalps numb.
The miserable state of the pig seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. Lu Xuan then calmly shuttled among the wild boars, kicking them, grabbing their fangs and throwing them out, or slashing the wild boar's head with a machete he had taken out from somewhere.
With a flick of his hand and a slash of his knife, he chopped off the huge wild boar's head alive!
As time went on... more and more wild boars lost their ability to fight. From the appearance of the wild boar group to the end of the battle, the entire process took no more than ten minutes.
When Lu Xuan stood still again, the constantly changing perspective of the live broadcast room stabilized again. All the wild boars fell to the ground without exception and were no longer breathing. Half of them had their heads chopped off by Lu Xuan, and their bodies were separated.
The camera in the live broadcast room suddenly froze on a pig face with a ferocious expression, and many viewers who were unconsciously holding their breath were startled.
[Holy crap! I was so scared! Can you give me a high-energy warning next time?]
[I'm about to have a heart attack. This pig head is too scary! ]
[Killing eight wild boars in one go without taking a single wound is incredible! I'm in awe!]
[If only the mutant beasts in the interstellar space were this easy to hunt.]
[Don't make it sound so easy. It's not like you haven't seen other ancient live broadcasts. Wild boars in ancient times were indeed ferocious beasts. Is it so difficult to admit that the streamer is amazing?]
[The host really didn’t exaggerate, he really showed off! ! ! ]
【This man is damn charming! 】
It’s not like they haven’t seen some live broadcasts of mutant beast hunters’ battles, and the content is certainly exciting, but those battles either used superpowers or thermal weapons, or directly used mechas, which was always a little lacking in interest.
On the contrary, Lu Xuan's battle, which was full of primitive wildness and the collision between □□ and □□, showed the potential of human beings to the greatest extent, making the audience more excited and enjoying it to the fullest.
Many people excitedly shared the live broadcast room with their relatives and friends. The number of online viewers in the live broadcast room increased visibly. Many passers-by who came in occasionally also clicked to follow, and people who threw gifts came one after another.
Looking at Lu Xuan, the person involved, after the battle, his clothes were a little messy and he didn't even break a sweat.
Seeing the audience roaring with excitement, he raised an eyebrow and corrected them: "This is at most a warm-up, not a show."
Audience: ??? That’s not enough? What else do you want?
With their shallow understanding of ancient times, they thought that being able to achieve Lu Xuan's level was already the limit of ancient people. What new tricks could he come up with for them?
[Let's stop chatting for now, host. You killed so many wild boars at once, the smell of blood must be very strong. For safety's sake, you should quickly collect the prey and move it to another place.]
The audience who issued the kind reminder actually felt a little confused after the excitement.
Lu Xuan had clearly used stones to deal with the previous two times, and the prey hardly lost much blood. Why did his fighting style change so drastically today, and become so bloody?
Is it to increase the watchability of live broadcasts and stimulate consumption?
"No hurry." Lu Xuan walked slowly to the wild boar that he had kicked to death, picked up the pig's head with one hand, and flexibly turned the machete twice with the other hand. Then he aimed at the wild boar's neck and slashed it neatly. The blood that had not yet coagulated immediately sprayed out like a column of water.
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly, "Wild boar meat has a rough texture to begin with. If you don't drain the blood in time, it will be even more difficult to eat."
After draining the blood of one pig, he turned to slitting the throats of the other wild boars one by one. His movements were skillful and nonchalant, and his facial expression did not change at all, as if he was doing a trivial matter.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the branches above his head, leaving mottled shadows on Lu Xuan's face. Combined with the rustling of leaves in the breeze in the forest, the picture looked inexplicably mysterious.
[Hiss... I feel like the host is a psychopathic murderer now. Scary!]
【What are you afraid of? It's so exciting! 】
[He's not a perverted murderer, he's a perverted pig killer, hahaha.]
[Are you guys stupid? Is now the time to be talking about this?! Host, take the wild boar in first. We don't know how many ferocious beasts there are in the mountains. The smell of blood is so strong here, it will soon attract more ferocious beasts!]
[That's right! A couple of days ago, the streamer went out of his way to find a water source after slaying prey, letting the water wash away the bloody smell. Why did he suddenly act so stupid today?!]
[Anchor, you are confused! ]
The other slow-reacting audience members finally woke up after being reminded by others, and began to persuade Lu Xuan to run away quickly.
Lu Xuan seemed to have not noticed the warnings on the screen, and continued to bleed the animals as he pleased. He also collected several other wild boars whose heads had been chopped off and whose blood had almost drained out, into the space. There was no sign of him being in a hurry in his movements, which made the audience almost anxious to death.
They wanted to continue persuading him, but suddenly they heard a dense rustling sound coming from the surrounding grass.
Oh no! It's too late! Something's coming!
Things hidden in the grass slowly emerged, and many viewers couldn't help but gasp in their rooms after seeing the true appearance of those creatures.
It's a wolf! A pack of wolves is coming!
