While Chen Yang and Li Su'er were being besieged, a group of the same creatures was also discovered at the camp.
However, the difference is that the camp was the first to discover it, so it wasn't attacked. Furthermore, after Ding Qihan logged off and made a phone call to Wengji, who was far away at the Western Border River, he learned the name of this creature.
"Tasmanian tiger! It's a Tasmanian tiger! I'm on my way! No, it's too late. I must capture it alive, I must capture one alive! It's an extinct creature! It's a Tasmanian tiger, a Tasmanian tiger!"
Ongji was so excited that he was incoherent, wishing a portal could appear to take him directly from the Western Border River to the Xindu camp.
The thylacines seem to have their eyes on the Xindu camp, which has significantly restricted the movement of the people in the camp.
"They must have come from another area. The creatures in the vicinity already know of our presence and won't be as reckless as these thylacines in preparing to attack us."
“I think so too, but we still need to deal with the threat posed by these Tasmanian wolves.”
"Let's set a trap. Didn't Professor Ongji say he wanted to capture him alive?"
“The trap may not be fooled. Tasmanian wolves are very smart. Unless you can catch most of them at once, they will be very wary of the rest once you catch one.”
"Try to surround and kill some of them, then the rest should not dare to covet us. Then capture one or two alive, or even the wounded."
"Agreed, but where to launch the ambush?"
“I know there is a suitable place in Nightbury Forest, but the people involved in the raid must be experienced.”
Finally, the camp discussed and came up with a plan to carry out the hunt tomorrow, while people would need to take turns keeping watch tonight.
Little Black is actually their best countermeasure against the Tasmanian wolf. Its sense of smell is too sensitive, and its fighting power increases day by day as its size grows.
Tonight, everyone lit two more fires and slept in the camp until they were driven out at eight o'clock in the morning.
"Chen Yang really knows how to pick his time, going on vacation at this hour. He even took his watch with him; now we can only estimate the time."
"I'm in charge of the shifts," Zhang Jian said with a smile.
By the light of the fire, he used his fingers to dip in charcoal powder and drew on a stone, the subject of which was Little Black, who was lying down and sleeping.
Yun Shi, who was keeping watch with him, glanced at the painting and was full of admiration. With such conditions and materials, he was able to paint Xiao Hei so lifelike, and even depict the relationship between light and shadow. There was no campfire in the painting, but he was able to capture the feeling of a campfire's reflection.
"When Sanpang comes in, I wonder what his state will be when he sees Xiao Hei."
"I think Sanpang might get another powerful mount. Xiao Hei's older brother is a lucky guy, and even a lucky guy has become a mount," Yun Shi laughed.
"Then I must draw this scene. It can become a hero in the cat world, a brave man who subdued the big black bear."
"What are you discussing that makes you so happy?"
Jiang Yining suddenly walked over and said, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to keep watch with you guys."
"Sit down, we were just discussing whether Kim Jong-un would use Little Black as a mount if he came in," Zhang Jian said with a smile.
Jiang Yining couldn't help but smile. "That's possible."
After Jiang Yining sat down, Yun Shi fell silent and didn't dare to look at her.
"I'm going to use the restroom, you two chat first." Zhang Jian smiled and got up, but he didn't walk in the direction of the toilet in the camp at all.
There are dedicated toilets in the camp, and they even use everyone's excrement to irrigate the fields—it's the best fertilizer!
To be honest, the girls were a bit hesitant about doing this kind of work, since it was mostly the men. But when Jiang Bo's father arrived, he took over the job, making everyone feel embarrassed and prompting them to offer their help instead.
After Zhang Jian left, Yun Shi and Jiang Yining fell silent.
"Want some cookies? I secretly hid a few, but I'm afraid of gaining weight, so I don't dare eat them tonight," Jiang Yining said.
Yun paused for a moment, took the cookie, and said, "You're not fat, this looks just right, very pretty."
"Thank you for the compliment, but girls are destined to fight against fat for the rest of their lives," Jiang Yining said with a smile.
“I think a little bit of meat is cute too, I don’t like people who are too skinny,” Yun Shi quickly said.
Jiang Yining smiled and said, "You really don't have any demands."
Upon hearing this, Yun paused for a moment, then clenched her fist and said to Jiang Yining somewhat nervously, "I'm really sorry for having some inappropriate thoughts about you before."
"What, what kind of outrageous thoughts are you having? You're not having any fantasies about me, are you? That's really going too far," Jiang Yining blinked and said to Yun Shi.
Yun scratched his head, unable to bring himself to say it.
"You mean it's not my first time, right? There's no need to worry about it, we're not a couple," Jiang Yining said.
Yun remained silent. He knew that a smart girl like Jiang Yining should have guessed his naive and foolish thoughts long ago. It was Jiang Yining who had told him that at the dinner table. And ever since then, he had deliberately distanced himself from her.
Yun Shi really didn't know what to say. He only felt ashamed and wanted to hide himself where Jiang Yining couldn't see him.
Thinking about it carefully, I realized how seriously my actions had hurt Jiang Yining; it could even be said that I had insulted her.
"Oh, why are you crying?" Jiang Yining said in surprise.
Yun Shi then noticed that she was actually shedding tears.
He quickly wiped away his tears. It was so embarrassing to cry in front of the girl he liked; he felt even more ashamed now.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
As Yun wiped away her tears, she spoke, seemingly apologizing for nothing in particular.
"Okay, I got it. Here, let me give you a hug."
Jiang Yining smiled, then opened her arms and gave him a gentle hug.
She really only gave her a light hug, just wrapped her arms around Yun Shi's shoulders and gave her a gentle embrace.
But Yun Shi stopped crying. With red eyes, he said to Jiang Yining, "Sister Yining, I will prove myself. Um, I'd like to apologize to Zhang Jian. I'm logging off now."
After saying that, he left the micro-world, and his body quickly disappeared.
"With such a thin skin, how can he still want to pursue girls? Doesn't he know that when a man shows his vulnerable side, it will evoke a woman's maternal instincts?"
Zhang Jian walked over from the side.
Jiang Yining felt a little embarrassed at this moment and said to Zhang Jian, "Great painter, you understand relationships so well, how come you don't have a girlfriend?"
"Who said there isn't? I... my agent is pursuing me, but I haven't agreed."
"Do you think I believe that, Mr. Painter?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll bring it next time."
"good."
Jiang Yining wore a smug expression, while Zhang Jian wore a stiff smile.
While things were peaceful at the camp and they were planning to launch a hunt, Chen Yang was surrounded by a pack of Tasmanian wolves.
There were three or four wolf carcasses around them.
"Alien Yang, the hotel called and asked when we're coming over."
Li Su'er stepped back for a moment and then said.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Please step back and take me there."
"Won't the police take you away if I carry you like this?"
“If the police only take me away because I carried you, just say I fell asleep after working overtime for three days. Anyway, my breathing is normal, and our boarding passes are the same. Be careful not to wake me up. If all else fails, just slap me to wake me up, and then I'll go in right away.”
"Don't worry, I won't hold back." Li Su'er nodded and then exited the micro-world.
The thylacines launched several attacks, but Chen Yang, Li Su'er, and the European Emperor repelled them with the help of the campfire.
The most dangerous time was when the wolf pack almost bit Li Su'er, but Chen Yang sent her to her death with a flying axe. Luckily, she killed another wolf, which made the Tasmanian wolves temporarily retreat.
Chen Yang sensed a faint call from the outside world, but he forcibly suppressed it. It must be Li Su'er trying to move him.
"You've worked hard, my lord. When you get back, I'll have Su'er cook you a lavish meal."
The European wolf gently licked Chen Yang's hand and lay down beside the fire. Outside the defensive circle formed by the dry branches was a pack of thylacines, and there seemed to be more of them, which made Chen Yang a little worried.
