Once inside the deep forest, these beastmen transformed into their animal forms and ventured into the depths of the forest in twos and threes.
A large carnivore that one person cannot defeat is more likely to be caught if hunted in a group today.
Ning Hong, however, was not in a hurry.
Then he led Ningmao to pick some fruit from the trees, or some grass seeds.
"You two were really going to fight each other, talking so boldly before. But it turns out you're still the same as always."
A black bear staggered past them.
To be honest, he really looked down on those two brothers; they were just too weak. So weak, why didn't they train properly?
Who knows, it might even become a little more powerful.
"These sour fruits are not tasty." The fruit in Ning Hongze's hand was not big, but it was very sour. It could be seen all year round, but people who could tolerate sourness couldn't stand it.
"How about this, I'll catch you a duck-dragon beast, and you can go and gather wild vegetables. Then we can exchange them. It's nice to eat some wild vegetables every now and then."
The black bear touched his nose with its paw.
Although he disliked Ning Hongze and his brother, he couldn't bear to watch them starve to death.
The weather is gradually getting colder.
If they don't catch any more prey, how will they survive the dead of winter?
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll catch some prey for you."
The black bear roared at its surroundings, then shook its head and walked into the deep forest.
The black bear's name is White Bear. It's strange, he's clearly a big black bear, but his surname is White.
The white bear was arguably the beastman in the village who took the best care of the two brothers.
Although she had a bad temper and didn't speak to them politely, she often brought them food.
The sun hung high in the sky, and although the forest was dense, they could still see clearly through the scattered sunlight.
Perhaps this is one of the advantages of being orcs.
The facial features have become more sensitive.
"Brother, shall we go pick some wild vegetables?"
"No, let's go catch the Duck Dragon Beast." Ning Hong put the sour fruits, which should actually be called lemons, into her woven vine basket, and then collected some seasonings.
Then he stood up and led Ningmao towards the river.
Duck-dragons typically live near streams in deep forests.
It eats nothing but river fish.
For example, small fish and shrimp.
"Brother, are we really going to capture the Duck Dragon Beast?" He was just joking; he wouldn't actually go.
He only had one kitten, not even enough to fill the gaps in the duck-dragon's teeth.
"Yes, didn't you already say that?"
He did say it, but he was just saying it casually. Everyone in the village knew that they couldn't catch the Duck Dragon Beast at all.
"Since you've spoken up, you should try your best to do it. Do you want those people to keep laughing at you?"
"I understand." Ning Mao lowered her head and sighed softly, but brother, you should be more realistic.
But since his brother had already made up his mind, he could only accompany him.
His brother did it for him, so naturally he wouldn't back down.
Ning Hong naturally knew that the duck-dragon beast could crush the two of them to death with a shake of its feet.
However, catching prey is not just about brute force; sometimes you have to think of a better approach.
The duck-dragon is large, but its movements are quite clumsy.
The response is also very slow.
When they reached the riverbank, they happened to see a duck-dragon pecking at small fish.
Ning Hong's eyes widened. "Wow, that's huge!"
However, judging from its slow pace, catching it shouldn't be too difficult.
He immediately took out a rope woven from vines from his basket.
The rope is quite thick and not easy to break.
He specially wove this for today's hunt.
Of course, there are other things as well.
For example, these sharpened bamboo arrows.
Ning Hong immediately had Ning Mao carry the bamboo arrow up the tree and begin setting up according to their previous agreement.
As for luring the duck-dragon beast over...
That's a fairly easy thing.
Ning Hong then grilled a fish near the trap.
A large, fragrant fish.
The duck-dragon clumsily turned its head, its pea-like eyes looking around, and then it sniffed the fragrance in the air.
It smells so good, where did this fish smell so delicious?
The duck-dragon beast walked step by step toward the grilled fish.
Just as he was about to reach the side with the grilled fish, the ground suddenly collapsed.
It lost its balance and fell directly into a pit in the ground. There were several bamboo arrows in the pit, and because of its weight, they pierced its leg. Before it could check its leg, several more bamboo arrows followed.
Ning Hongze was holding a lasso, which he had made for this hunt. He threw the lasso and it landed directly around the neck of the duck-dragon beast. He then tossed the other end to Ning Mao'er.
Ningmao quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up the tall tree.
He wasn't very strong; he couldn't possibly lift the duck-dragon beast.
This allows it to be tied to the highest possible tree trunk.
The bamboo arrows hit the duck-dragon beast, not because they were good at aiming, but mainly because the duck-dragon beast was such a large target.
Because of the pain, the duck-dragon began to howl wildly.
They struggled even more fiercely.
It was incredibly strong; its struggle caused the entire tree to sway. Ning Mao'er, standing on the tree, lost her balance and was shaken off, but luckily Ning Hong caught her. The two brothers quietly hid in a corner, watching as the tree suddenly rose from the ground and, following the direction of the rope, smashed directly onto the duck-dragon beast's head.
The world is quiet.
"Cat, let brother go out and take a look." Ning Hong put Ning Cat on the ground, carefully walked over, and poked the head of the duck-dragon beast with the end of the bamboo arrow in his hand.
Unfortunately for the duck-dragon, the bamboo arrow that had been shot at its head and body was now being crushed by the large tree, piercing right through its body.
Otherwise, this duck-dragon beast has thick skin and flesh; these thin bamboo arrows alone could not possibly harm it.
This society is miserable.
In a more normal era, he could have easily pulled out a large knife and dealt with the duck-dragon beast in no time.
But now, all he has is a knife sharpened on a stone.
It's bulky and not sharp enough.
Its greatest use is probably to give this dying duck-dragon a few more blows.
However, at least they managed to catch some meat.
When he got home, he pickled these things to store them for the winter.
The fine salt from the store can't be used; he still has quite a bit of coarse salt.
Some of this coarse salt can still be taken out secretly, but of course, no one else can see it.
