Ye Wu's arrival made the Micro World Inn much livelier. He was the kind of endangered species who possessed both an interesting soul and a good-looking body, and he could make everyone happy wherever he went.
"Chen Yang, isn't our inn a bit too unique?"
Ye Wu was also surprised after learning about the rules of the Micro Realm Inn. He knew that his brother had no background, so wasn't doing this digging his own grave?
"Don't worry, we have our own methods. You'll see in a while," Chen Yang said.
Ye Wu immediately stopped asking questions, a level of trust that surprised the other three.
Chen Yang told the three that they absolutely could not tell Ye Wu about the Micro Realm, otherwise their memories of it would be erased, and this was no joke.
It will only be ten days before his entry code becomes active again, and soon Ye Wu will be able to enter the micro-world as well.
Before that, they couldn't say anything.
So when the group asked Ye Wu to watch the inn at 8 p.m. the next day while they all went to sleep, Ye Wu was completely dumbfounded.
Am I out of touch with the times? Is going to bed early and waking up early all the rage now?
“You’re out of touch with the times,” the others nodded in response.
At eight o'clock sharp, they re-entered the micro-world.
The fishpond has been built. Now we just need to slowly introduce fish fry into it, and I believe it will soon become a natural fishpond.
“Alien Yang, let’s go to the forest behind the cabin. There must be plenty of food and prey there,” Li Su’er said excitedly.
These past few days she has slowly rediscovered the feeling of learning archery back then and is eager to try it out.
Chen Yang also felt it was time to develop a new map. However, the gray wolf that had appeared in front of the wooden house still made him somewhat wary.
"Brother Wang, you take Yining to gather resources and catch fish, and check the traps while you're at it. Su'er and I will go into the dense forest to search for any usable resources."
Jiang Yining said with some concern, "You all need to be careful and be sure to come back before dark."
Chen Yang nodded, and then led Li Su'er into the dense forest behind the cabin.
He held a spear in one hand and a newly made stone axe in the other.
This axe is made of stone and wood; it's not very sharp, but it's very useful.
The dense forest seems close to the cabin, but it still takes more than an hour to walk there.
Chen Yang had previously looked around the perimeter of the dense forest but had not found any trace of large carnivores. However, they were definitely present, and he could not let his guard down at any time.
"Su'er, whatever happens later, don't act impulsively. We must stay within each other's sight at all times."
"Don't worry, if there are wolves later, I'll shoot one dead with an arrow."
Although Li Su'er spoke casually, her eyes were constantly scanning her surroundings nervously, never leaving Chen Yang's side.
"Huh, is this chicken-based vegetarian fruit?"
Soon, Chen Yang made a discovery.
It's a fruit nicknamed wild lychee. It's about the same size as a lychee, and its peel and color are very similar to those of a lychee, hence the name.
"I've been eating too much barbecue lately, so this is a good way to clear heat and detoxify." Li Su'er recognized it; this fruit is common in Yunnan, and she had eaten it once before and knew its effects.
Li Su'er couldn't wait to pick a fruit, gently break it open, and reveal the pale yellow flesh inside.
"They're very sweet, and they're ripe. Let's pick some more to take home."
Both of them brought several empty bamboo tubes to store food, and each carried a small basket. All of these were made by Jiang Yining, and Chen Yang greatly admired her skillful hands.
They filled several bamboo tubes, noted the location of the chicken-eating fruit tree, and continued into the forest.
"Su'er, keep an eye on the trees, see if there are any creatures or bird nests."
"I saw a squirrel!"
"Give up. Your current archery skills are unrealistic for catching squirrels."
"Alien Yang, you'll have no friends if you keep going like this."
"I hear the sound of running water. Let's go over there."
Amidst the calls of birds and beasts and the rustling of leaves in the jungle, Chen Yang heard a crisp, cheerful sound, which he immediately recognized as the sound of flowing water.
As they approached, the sound gradually changed, from a light and lively tone to a fierce and resounding roar.
Pushing aside the leaves obscuring their view, the two finally saw the source of the sound.
At that moment, they all stared blankly at the scene before them, their hearts deeply shaken.
Hundreds of meters away, a waterfall more than 20 meters high plunges down with a massive amount of water, the spray bursting like fireworks, a large amount of mist spreading, and two rainbows forming a bridge between the mist.
A dozen or so sika deer were drinking and resting by the pool below the waterfall. Several monkeys were frolicking in the pine trees on the cliff. Even more breathtaking was the sight of several elephants bathing in the water, their long trunks spouting jets of water.
"I will never forget this scene in my life."
Li Su'er murmured to herself, her soul immersed in this aura, unable to extricate itself.
Isn't Chen Yang the same?
Wow~ Wow~
A monkey suddenly spotted them and started yelling at them.
All the creatures below the waterfall looked over.
The sika deer quickly gathered in a group, watching with some curiosity. The elephants glanced at them and then ignored them, completely disregarding Chen Yang and Li Su'er.
Only a few audacious monkeys quickly gathered around and observed the two unfamiliar creatures from the branches nearby.
"Don't mess with them, these monkeys are very territorial," Chen Yang said.
His eyes were fixed on the few sika deer by the lake.
During his time living in the micro-world, he had never had a proper meal; these sika deer were now just mobile barbecue to him.
"Alien Yang, do you want to do anything to those cute little deer?"
Li Su'er realized Chen Yang's intentions and said with some annoyance.
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Is that not allowed?"
Li Su'er was about to reprimand Chen Yang, but she swallowed her words back.
Indeed, can't they just attack the sika deer?
Is it because sika deer are protected animals? But this is the microcosm, where such a claim doesn't exist.
Li Su'er thought about it carefully and realized that her reason for organizing Chen Yang was simply because, in her heart, the sika deer was a sacred and beautiful creature.
Only then did she realize that her thoughts were nothing more than those of a sanctimonious hypocrite. When she raised her bow and arrow to shoot the pheasant, she felt only a sense of accomplishment, not remorse.
“Su’er, I respect nature, but we are part of nature ourselves. Hunting for survival is a natural thing. However, we cannot kill for fun or a sense of accomplishment. Every living thing deserves respect.”
Chen Yang spoke slowly to Li Su'er.
Everyone has their own ideas, and Chen Yang will not force Li Su'er to accept his thoughts, but he does need Li Su'er's archery skills right now.
He wasn't confident he could hit the agile sika deer. And a spear was even less reliable.
To Chen Yang's surprise, Li Su'er nodded and said, "Understood, I will hit the target."
They concealed their weapons on their backs and slowly approached the pool beneath the waterfall.
The herd of sika deer did not immediately flee, but instead stood there curiously watching, completely unaware that the two creatures in front of them intended to hunt them.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the deer, Li Su'er felt a pang of pity, but she quickly regained her composure.
Wow~ Wow~
The monkeys were making strange noises in the trees, observing Li Su'er and Chen Yang.
“I’ll distract them. You get ready to shoot arrows, but be careful not to disturb the elephants. There’s a small rocky slope behind us. If the elephants go berserk, retreat to it immediately.”
Chen Yang said.
Although elephants are generally docile, when they go berserk, no creature can stop them. In countries like India, many people die each year from the hooves of rabid elephants.
Chen Yang whistled and then started dancing to "Little Apple," a dance he learned in a university club activity and the only one he knew how to dance.
“I think you’re more confident in my attention,” Li Su’er complained.
Chen Yang ignored her disdainful look and continued to immerse himself in his own world of dance.
It must be said that this tactic was remarkably effective; the deer herd's attention was completely drawn to Chen Yang.
Li Su'er straightened up, raised her bow and arrow, and nocked the string with one hand.
An arrow, released from a bow, cuts through the air and shoots straight out.
