Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Sudden Blizzard

“Retreat.”

Saying that, Xu Yi slapped the reindeer’s rear and then controlled it to run towards the forest.

This creature, it’s actually called an Ox-Lion.

Four Ox-Lions suddenly dashed out from the forest behind.

So, Xu Yi and Lu Ke could only retreat and escape.

Dealing with a lone Ox-Lion was no problem, but if they encountered several, both he and Lu Ke would be in trouble.

Never mind Ox-Lions, even if there were three tigers, Xu Yi and Lu Ke wouldn’t be able to handle them.

If they all attacked together, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Unless Xu Yi also had Black Scale Soft Armor. In that case, they could still put up a fight. However, they would still get injured.

“Really exhilarating, if Xu Yi and Lu Ke had run a bit slower, they’d have been surrounded.”

“It’s lucky we have mounts, otherwise the chance of the two of them getting away would be quite low.”

“Just now, Xu Yi and Lu Ke worked so well together, in just two or three minutes, they took down that Fierce Beast.”

“It’s not just Xu Yi and Lu Ke, other teams also have this capability. But many Fierce Beasts aren’t alone, so it’s quite tricky.”

“For the Fierce Beasts, two humans acting together is also unfair. If it was just Xu Yi alone today, dealing with this heavyweight beast wouldn’t be that easy.”

“That’s why the organizers prevent them from collaborating. If there were ten people, they could flatten this forest.”

After he could no longer hear the noise behind, Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, these Ox-Lions are very strong. One, he and Lu could handle; two would be tricky, not to mention a group of four.

“What a pity, I wonder if the meat of these Ox-Lions is tasty,” Lu Ke said regretfully when Xu Yi slowed down, and she got the giant ha to slow down accordingly.

“It shouldn’t be much better than beef. Don’t worry, there will be a chance to eat it. After a hundred days, we can cooperate, and if we encounter five or six Ox-Lions, we can handle them,” Xu Yi said with a smile. He really hadn’t thought Lu Ke would be craving Ox-Lion meat.

“We’ll only know if we try it, it might be delicious. Speaking of which, I haven’t had a steak in a long time.” With that, Lu Ke bit her lip and looked back.

“Also, the skin of these Ox-Lions would be great for making shoes,” Lu Ke added, after all, it’s still very hot during the day, and a cooler pair of shoes would be more comfortable.

“Our haul wasn’t bad today, we got 24 points for hunting the black bear, 18 points for the Ox-Lion, and now we have a total of 721 points,” Xu Yi felt earning points was good enough, they’d have a chance to eat meat sooner or later.

“Yeah, the points are not bad,” Lu Ke nodded; it was indeed a fruitful day.

“There’s still a few hours before nightfall; let’s keep looking around to see if we can encounter any lone beasts,” Xu Yi suggested, then raised the reindeer’s running speed.

Lu Ke nodded and urged the giant ha to follow.

The two of them traversed the forest, searching for suitable targets.

However, it seemed their luck had run out, as they had not encountered any suitable targets by nearly five o’clock in the afternoon.

They did run into a pack of hyenas.

However, there were too many, over 50 of them.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke decisively turned around and left, fortunately, they left in time, or the reindeer would have been caught and torn to pieces.

It was past six in the evening when Xu Yi and Lu Ke finally returned to the camp.

The giant ha and the reindeer were also very exhausted, as they hadn’t had adequate rest since the morning. Especially the reindeer, which was struggling to run by the end.

So Xu Yi thought they needed to tame another reindeer, so they could alternate and keep the reindeer sufficiently energetic.

After putting the reindeer back in the pen, Xu Yi fed it some hay.

Lu Ke started preparing dinner, while the giant ha lay in the house gnawing on a boiled tiger bone.

They had bear meat for dinner, as Lu Ke had cleaned the little bear during midday.

In the house, there were also a large and small bear gallbladder hanging.

Bear gallbladder is a good traditional Chinese medicine, especially after drying and grinding it into powder to infuse in alcohol, it’s very effective for external injuries, especially muscle damage.

When you hunt often, how can you not get injured?

Especially muscle injuries, which are even more frequent.

It’s always good to have some medicine on hand, after all, Xu Yi had used up quite a bit of pain-relieving spray.

“Xu Yi, dinner’s ready,” Lu Ke called to Xu Yi, who was outside playing with the punching bag.

After all, there wasn’t much else to do at the moment, and hitting the bag while waiting for dinner wasn’t a bad idea.

After washing his hands, Xu Yi returned to the house.

On the table, there were two large bowls of bear meat soup, and two potatoes on the platter in the middle.

In addition to this, there was also a serving of shepherd’s purse, making it a comparatively lavish dinner.

“I’ve checked all the live streams and still find that Xu Yi and Loli Ke ate the best, with both meat and veggies, and a staple too.”

“Indeed, when it comes to food, these two foodies have never lost.”

“This is the power of foodies; they can muster immense strength for food.”

“I think they could also slice and cook some dried mushrooms, it’s another dish.”

“Don’t you think Xu Yi and Lu Ke killing the little black bear to eat is cruel?”

“The Saint Mother is out, anyone with venomous snakes or scorpions, please send a bit more to the Saint Mother, show some care.”

After dinner, Xu Yi and Lu Ke took the dried pottery embryo from the corridor and then took it for firing.

Ordinarily, this should be the last batch of pottery they fire.

Because they already had enough pottery, there was no need to make more.

As for when Lu Yao and the others move in together, they could make more if needed, for now, there’s no need to prepare them.

What it will be like in a hundred days and what new regulations will exist then is uncertain.

After lighting the fire, Xu Yi went to take a bath.

After a day’s rush, he was a little tired, so he took a shower to relax, then it was Lu Ke’s turn to bathe.

By nine o’clock at night, the two of them returned to the second floor and set up a chessboard.

Balancing work and rest is essential, and these days, they’ve worked quite hard and needed some relaxation.

Playing chess is a good form of entertainment. After all, aside from this, there aren’t many other ways to entertain themselves.

After all, with just two people, they’re one short for playing poker.

Xu Yi thought that when three teams were collaborating, they could play a few rounds of cards in the evening to relax.

If conditions allowed, playing mahjong would be no problem.

After a few games, when Xu Yi and Lu Ke were about to go to sleep, they found a strong wind outside, carrying heavy snow.

The blizzard came very suddenly.

The stilt house’s bark walls shook continuously, as if they could be blown away at any moment.
