Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 283 Dog's Tail

The undisguised greed in Old Max's eyes made White Deer frown slightly. She shrank back, quietly hiding her stunning beauty behind the gray-black wizard's hood.

This somewhat weak gesture not only failed to stop Old Max's blatant spying, but also gave him immense courage.

He subconsciously took half a step forward, when a gleaming, foul-smelling heavy sword suddenly blocked his view. The bloodstains on the sword were still clearly visible, which showed that the flashy heavy sword was not just a simple ornament.

"Take me to the hunter's courtyard!"

The cold voice sent a chill down Old Max's spine. He wiped his mouth with his gray sleeve, nodded hastily, and said with a fawning smile, "Yes, yes, sir, please come with me."

The hunter's hut wasn't far; with old Max's flattering words, they soon arrived at a small courtyard on the outskirts of the village.

The yard was surrounded by a thorny wall, with a gap on the side of the thorns, as if it had been violently damaged by some creature.

However, the thorns at the gap have been intentionally adjusted. When spring arrives and all things sprout, the thorns should quickly grow and fill the gap.

The ground in the yard was covered with fresh soil in many places, like patches, which made the ground look messy like a rag. However, the filling was done carefully, and the whole yard was laid out very smoothly.

Several bare trees stood scattered in the courtyard, but there wasn't a single fallen leaf on the ground.

Three small houses were scattered among the trees, and old Max respectfully opened them one by one.

On the left is a small bedroom. Judging from the various clay and stone blocks piled up inside, the room's owner must be a mischievous young boy.

To the left is a storage room filled with many hunting tools, but many of them are empty.

The largest room in the middle is the main room. It is not luxurious, but it is very clean and cozy. The surface of the main room has even been freshly painted. It is fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, as if the owner of the room has just finished cleaning and is now just going out for a walk.

but--

Judging from the thin layer of dust on the surfaces of the items, the room has indeed been vacant for some time.

Yaro nodded in satisfaction: "A good place to settle down."

It's truly rare to find a room like this in such a remote rural area.

The cleanliness of the room suggests that the previous owner was quite wealthy; only someone who had escaped the struggle for food could have the time and energy to maintain their residence.

Old Max said with a fawning smile, "I'm glad you're satisfied, sir."

"Alright, leave the key here and go back." Yaro really wasn't in the mood to give him a friendly look.

Old Max glanced knowingly at White Deer, a hint of envy flashing in his cloudy eyes. He placed the keys on the table and bowed, saying, "Alright, alright, sir, please continue."

Yaro coldly ordered, "Get out!"

Noticing the hand resting on the sword hilt again, Old Max didn't dare say anything and quickly walked out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him as soon as he stepped out.

Once the door was closed, his face immediately fell. He spat disdainfully and muttered under his breath, "She's definitely a monster. I'll be collecting her corpse tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, the two people inside the room both glanced towards the wooden door. Noticing Yaro's action, Bailu asked in surprise, "You heard that too?"

“Of course.” Yaro nodded and smiled, his mood unaffected by what he had just heard.

In terms of hearing alone, Yaro couldn't guarantee how strong it was, but he also possessed master-level cat-like fist techniques.

Even without being actively activated, the cat-shaped fist's ability to sense furry textures does not disappear.

Just as one can still hear sounds even without focusing all their energy on hearing, once Yaro was able to perceive using his fur, this sensory system was added to his five-sense sensory system, providing an overall boost to it.

The white deer ignored Yaro's hearing and continued looking in the direction of the wooden door, remarking, "You humans are so fickle in your emotions."

Yaro opened the windows one by one, casually saying, "Don't take his behavior as a generalization about all humans."

"How should I put it?" Bai Lu looked over curiously.

As Yaro continued cleaning the dust in the room, he explained, "Humans are a type of animal, and the key difference between them and animals lies in knowledge. If people are not taught any knowledge, then their behavior will be exactly the same as that of animals."

Just like some wolf cubs, tiger cubs, and so on.

“This village is located in a remote area with little communication with the outside world. In this semi-closed environment, it is difficult to receive more knowledge, and the animalistic habits of the animals will be amplified.”

Yaro paused, looking up at the white deer: "In the forest, what's the best way for an ordinary person to deal with a carnivore?"

"Ordinary people?" Bai Lu's beautiful eyes flickered with doubt. She didn't understand why Ya Luo would specifically ask about ordinary people.

Yaro nodded: "Yes, ordinary people."

"Is that so?" Although Bai Lu was puzzled, she still pondered and gave an answer, "Well... First of all, we can't run. Ordinary people don't seem to be very fast, so we definitely can't outrun carnivores. So... we should retreat slowly and quietly?"

Bai Lu had never encountered such a situation before. As a fairy herself, animals would not intentionally attack her, so she had never experienced that feeling.

“That’s basically right, but you have to face the predator and slowly back away,” Yaro continued, his hands still busy. “This method is only suitable when the predator can’t determine whether you are its prey or not.”

"If a carnivore starts to hesitate and continues to move its limbs without looking it directly in the eyes, then you need to wave your arms, make shooing gestures, and shout loudly to intimidate it."

At this point, Yaro looked up at the white deer: "Most carnivores will not attack blindly if they cannot judge the extent of the threat, and the same is true for humans who have no source of knowledge."

"You treat them like animals!"

“When they make harmful moves, shouting and reacting strongly may deter them from the harmful action because they cannot judge the extent of the danger.”

"Of course, this must be done before the animals are harmed. Once they have tasted flesh and blood, it becomes very difficult to stop them."

Bai Lu tilted her head and asked curiously, "Was that why the old man was there just now?"

"Him? Ha!" Yaro dusted off the dust on his clothes and smiled disdainfully. "It tucked its tail between its legs because it saw a stronger beast. Didn't it bark a few times as it left?"
