When Chen Yang arrived at the Xindu camp, it was already dark. He hadn't informed everyone of his arrival, so they had all already left. The fires in the camp were still burning, and the areas not illuminated by the firelight were bathed in moonlight.
The campsite was quiet, with only the occasional sounds from the animals.
"Xiao Hei, what are you doing?" Chen Yang noticed that Xiao Hei was actually guarding outside the livestock shed.
When Xiao Hei saw Chen Yang, it was very happy. It jumped up and down and tried to give Chen Yang a bear hug, but Chen Yang used the force-dissipating technique of Xingyi Quan to avoid being knocked down.
"Brother Wang said he hasn't seen Xiao Hei for the past few days. Could it be that it comes to guard him every night?" Jiang Yining asked curiously.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Very likely, but the starting point might be different. I think it's afraid its meat will run away."
Xiao Hei is very clever. It has taught itself to climb over fences. Even when the camp gate is closed at night, it can still get in. The camp is currently quite helpless against this kind of animal that can climb over walls.
Having learned their lesson from the previous incident with the monkey troop, they are now more careful not to leave valuables outdoors.
After they released the macaque king, the monkey troop never attacked it again.
As spring approached, Chen Yang began to consider whether to leave a few people to sleep at the campsite at night, so that it would be easier to spot any animals that came by. After all, they would be sleeping in the campsite anyway.
“Let’s quit,” Chen Yang said to Jiang Yining.
Then, he pretended to exit as well, and after Jiang Yining's body disappeared, he went into the wooden house to check the mission. The black stone slab that only he could see still lay there quietly, with two bright and seven dim starlight points floating on the stone slab.
"Please hunt down a large carnivore on your own. Once you have successfully hunted it down, the reward, Eagle Eye, will be automatically issued."
Hunting a large carnivore alone is no easy task, but with proper preparation, it's achievable.
The rewards for this mission were announced directly, and it seems there's no need to return to the cabin to collect them.
However, it seems that the Eagle Eye is a reward for improving personal abilities, rather than a resource or special ability that can change the current state of the micro-world.
Chen Yang certainly doesn't mind improving his personal abilities, and he has already fully experienced the benefits of improving his personal abilities.
The skill book "Sacred Flame" gave him the ability to start a fire anytime, anywhere. His wolf-like bloodline greatly enhanced his physical reflexes and stamina, and he also possessed an extraordinary talent for learning Xingyi Quan.
Since the rewards for this mission are given after upgrading to two stars, they will definitely not be worse than the previous ones.
"Hunting alone? Looks like I'll be away for a while," Chen Yang muttered to himself.
If you underestimate these apex predators just because you have weapons and experience hunting large carnivores, you're just asking for trouble.
Having faced wolves and tigers before, Chen Yang knew that if he were to face a tiger one-on-one, his survival depended entirely on fate.
Fortunately, his weapon has been upgraded, which will increase his chances of winning, but he still needs to be extremely careful.
He personally prefers using traps, but catching large carnivores with traps is not easy. The most important thing is experience in setting traps and knowing where to set them.
"I wonder how Su'er and the others are doing. Wolves are large carnivores, so maybe I should sneak up and try to kill one. Wolves count, I guess," Chen Yang muttered.
They already knew that Li Su'er had encountered a pack of wolves, but the wolves seemed to be just following them and not attacking them directly. They could only slow down and each of them carried a torch as they moved forward.
Chen Yang was just saying it; he didn't actually intend to follow them, because Li Su'er and the others had already gone quite far.
Suddenly, Chen Yang thought of a creature they had hunted before. Compared to animals like lions, tigers, and leopards, hunting that kind of animal would be much safer, and its tracks would be easier to find.
After making his plans, he withdrew. He would tell everyone tomorrow, since he needed to inform everyone before acting alone.
The next day, before Chen Yang could even tell everyone, Li Su'er excitedly boasted about her achievements in the group chat.
They still clashed with the wolf pack before retreating last night, but because they were prepared, they managed to repel the wolves with the help of fire and even killed two of them.
However, during the battle, Xiao Qing was accidentally scratched by a wolf. Although it wasn't serious, it served as a warning to the girls. They still needed to be wary of these dangerous creatures.
"How can a woman not have some scars?" Xiao Qing said in the group chat, sounding rather proud.
When Ye Wu heard the news, he rushed to Xiao Qing's residence to comfort her. Chen Yang guessed that they were bound to have a "big battle" today, since Ye Wu and Xiao Qing hadn't seen each other in the real world for almost a week.
“I feel like the wolves we encountered look a bit strange,” Li Ye suddenly said.
"What's so strange?" Hou Yu asked. Chen Yang bet that he was right next to Li Ye, but he still had to ask in the group chat.
"His body is stronger and more robust, and his limbs are thinner and shorter. I feel like he's more like a hyena than a wolf." Li Ye described it in detail, and out of curiosity, Hou Yu entered the keywords she mentioned into Baidu search.
"Damn, your description sounds a bit like a dire wolf."
Most people have heard of dire wolves; they are an extinct species on Earth. They never expected to encounter a dire wolf in the microverse.
"Wait, let me send you a reconstructed image of the Dire Wolf. See if it matches," Hou Yu said, and then a picture of the Dire Wolf was sent to the group.
"Yes," Li Su'er replied.
“That’s right, exactly,” Li Sen replied.
“Ono also said yes,” Hou Yu answered for Li Ye.
"Where's Xiao Qing? Come out and check." Xiao Qi said in the group chat, and everyone then noticed that Xiao Qing hadn't spoken for a while.
Chen Yang sent a message: "Ye Wu just went to find her, he should have arrived by now."
"Oh~" Everyone understood instantly.
"What's wrong?" Lini didn't understand everyone's line of thought, and since her Chinese wasn't good, she couldn't keep up for a moment, so she asked.
"It's okay, they're just fighting, they'll be fine in a bit," Tang Jiaqi replied.
Lini still didn't quite understand. They were fighting, so why was no one worried? But she didn't ask. Chinese people often spoke in languages she couldn't understand, and she was used to it.
Chen Yang also shared his thoughts with everyone. Although they found it a bit strange that he wanted to go hunting alone, they didn't ask any questions, after all, he was the Realm Lord. Besides, everyone has the desire to go out and explore on their own.
After identifying his prey, Chen Yang was very confident about his mission. He believed that he would soon obtain the Eagle Eye, an ability he was eagerly anticipating.
