Chen Yang and his team didn't keep the little black bear locked up; instead, they let it roam freely. They logged off as usual, not letting the little bear stay in the camp, because who knew if it would be as destructive as its parents?
The next day, after Chen Yang and his group found out the location, they drove there.
Just as the uncle from Northeast China had said, they soon saw the hunting grounds enclosed by barbed wire.
"Snow Garden Hunting Grounds 500 meters ahead"
A wooden sign stands prominently by the roadside.
Chen Yang followed the road signs and soon saw a row of small bungalows by the roadside.
"Hunting? Where are you from?"
A middle-aged man with stubble, wearing a military overcoat, was smoking by the roadside and glanced at them.
"I'm a tourist from ZJ, introduced by the uncle at the guesthouse in the village ahead. What do you have here? I heard you have wild boars?" Chen Yang asked, peeking out.
"We have everything, it just depends on whether you have the skill to hunt it. 300 per person for two hours. Overtime will incur additional charges. This dog is free."
The uncle listened without questioning anything and replied fluently.
Chen Yang nodded and asked, "What weapons? Do you have guns?"
"No, I wouldn't dare use a gun. We have compound bows, slingshots, machetes, and military knives. Pick one yourself."
The group got off the bus and followed the uncle into the small house. Inside, a group of middle-aged men and women were already sitting. They glanced at the group but said nothing, continuing to play on their phones.
There was a slightly sour smell inside, which made the girls frown.
"Choose whatever you like. Each person needs to pay a 300 yuan deposit first, and we'll refund any overpayment or make up any underpayment later."
The bearded man pointed to the table and said.
Various weapons were scattered haphazardly on the table, mainly bows, along with a miscellaneous array of knives and spears.
After Chen Yang paid the money, he gestured to everyone to take their weapons, and everyone chose the weapons that suited them best.
Are you coming in with us too?
Chen Yang noticed that the uncle also had a machete and a compound bow.
"I'm afraid you might encounter wild boars or wild dogs. Animals don't recognize people, and we'll be in trouble if something happens to you," the uncle said.
"Don't worry, I'm very good at archery," Li Su'er said, holding up her bow.
The middle-aged man chuckled, clearly used to this kind of overconfident person. They talk a big game and do have some skills, but when it really comes down to it, their legs go weak.
"That beast is fierce, I'd better go with him," he said, without openly mocking Li Su'er. After all, she was a guest, and he wanted to save face for her.
"Uncle, what kind of tooth are you wearing around your neck?" Xu Meng suddenly asked.
The bearded man smiled smugly, took out the tooth hanging around his neck, and said, "Wolf Fang, I hunted it myself, isn't it awesome?"
"Aren't wolves protected animals?" Xu Meng asked, and Chen Yang also looked over.
"What does a girl know!" the uncle said, seemingly angry. "Wolf cubs hurt people, and we have a quota for hunting them every year."
Xu Meng seemed to open her mouth as if to refute something, but Chen Yang gave her a look, telling her not to say anything for the time being.
"Want to practice a bit first?" the uncle said, pointing to a target in the hunting grounds.
Li Su'er and Ye Wu stepped forward and each shot an arrow. Both of them hit the target without any surprise, and Li Su'er even hit the bullseye, which stunned Uncle and Xu Meng.
Chen Yang gripped the spear and hurled it fiercely, piercing the target directly.
"Looks like a veteran," the uncle said.
"I do it occasionally," Chen Yang said.
It's normal to encounter experienced hunters at the hunting grounds, so the uncle wasn't surprised and led the group closer to the hunting grounds.
"Why aren't there any animals?" Li Su'er asked after walking for more than ten minutes.
“Yes, in that area over there,” the man said, pointing to a wooded area.
“There’s a rabbit,” Ye Wu said.
"Young man, you have sharp eyes. I won't make a move. You two can have fun," the uncle said with a smile.
Ye Wu glanced at Chen Yang, who then gave him a wink.
Ye Wu slowly walked forward, nocked an arrow, and shot it at the wild rabbit in the grass. However, the arrow hit a tree next to it, and the rabbit was startled and ran away.
"What a pity," Ye Wu said, but secretly gave Chen Yang an OK sign.
The bearded man chuckled. Sure enough, it was all show and no substance from the archery range; his accuracy in actual combat was far inferior. The rabbits in this area had all had one leg broken, making them slow and easy to hit.
They continued forward, but "seemed" to be unlucky, and missed all their shots.
"Boss, this is so boring! We can't hit anything!" Li Su'er said angrily to the bearded uncle.
The middle-aged man shrugged helplessly and said, "Look, there's plenty of prey. Don't blame me if you miss. You guys continue, I won't bother you anymore. Anyway, you've got my number, just call me if you need anything."
The bearded man slowly walked away with his bow on his back. Only after he disappeared from sight did Chen Yang turn around and smile at Li Su'er and Ye Wu.
"Your acting is pretty good."
"That's right, I'm a good-looking actor." Ye Wu said smugly.
Xu Meng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Ye Wu raised his bow and arrow, pointed it at a rabbit in his line of sight, and said, "Watch closely, I'm going to shoot it at the haystack in front of it."
After saying that, he shot an arrow, which struck the haystack squarely, while the rabbit ran away.
"The rabbits here are too slow, unlike the ones on my mountain, which are all very clever."
"You and Su'er both deliberately shot off target." Xu Meng understood.
"Otherwise, why would that uncle leave? He came to keep an eye on us, afraid we'd run into a master and lose money," Chen Yang said with a smile.
Xu Meng nodded and said, "So, are you going to start hunting now?"
“No, we don’t eat them, why would we hunt these animals?” Chen Yang said. “We’re looking for wild boars to see if there really are wild boars around here.”
"How do we find it?" Xu Meng asked, somewhat puzzled.
Chen Yang pointed at the European Emperor and said, "Look at it."
The Lucky One had fought wild boars and knew what they tasted like. Although wild boars in the micro-world were different from real-world wild boars, they were still quite different from rabbits and pheasants. The Lucky One was very smart, knew how to distinguish them, and could understand Chen Yang's commands.
In the micro-world, whoever goes out hunting will bring along the Lucky One. The Lucky One can already distinguish commands and knows whether the order is to find large prey or small prey.
After smelling it for a while, the European Emperor took the lead and started running.
"Keep up, and watch out for cameras around you," Chen Yang said.
He strongly suspected there were cameras inside the hunting grounds that those people could see from inside the bungalow.
The lucky man ran quickly, stopping occasionally to wait for the others. Soon, they spotted an animal.
This is a stray dog, but unlike the stray dogs in the city, this stray dog has fierce eyes and growls at everyone. The European king also barks back.
“Not a stray dog, but a bigger one,” Chen Yang said to Ou Huang, gesturing as he spoke. Ou Huang seemed to understand, ignoring the stray dog and continuing to sniff around.
The stray dog seemed too intimidated to approach, staring at the group for a while before leaving.
Soon, the lucky boar found traces again and led the group through the woods. This time, it found the right spot, but when everyone saw the wild boar, they were speechless.
