Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 46 Little Rabbit

Chen Qi took the lantern and walked out of the cave.

In the bright moonlight, a wolf stood by the tree, staring blankly at him.

This is a hungry red wolf with bloodshot eyes and half of its fur reddish-brown.

Compared to ordinary wolves, red wolves have higher speed and stronger recovery capabilities.

It took a few steps toward Chenqi, then sensed something and stepped back.

Despite its hunger, its wild instincts still allowed it to sense the danger within the cave.

Simply put, this is a cowardly wolf.

"Aren't you going to get on, puppy?"

Chen Qi sat down, placed the black knife in a suitable position to pick it up, and then took out the backpack card.

Although the red wolf has bloodshot eyes and looks fierce, it is not actually a monster that bites anyone it sees.

Under normal circumstances, they will not actively attack creatures stronger than themselves.

Chen Qi's current strength is not weak, coupled with the faint aura of the 'Water Beast' in the cave behind him.

Even though the red wolf was starving, it only dared to stare from a distance.

Red Wolf possesses a certain level of intelligence and considerable combat power, making it a good choice for many players when they reach the second tier if they wish to become a Beastmaster.

Chen Qi opened his backpack and took out some simple barbecue racks, beef and pork, and some barbecue seasonings.

He bought these items from shops in Moonstone City before entering the Rift.

He plans to have a barbecue here!

Of course, the reason for grilling meat here is not simply because of being 'hungry'.

Chen Qi glanced at the meat in his backpack, his intention being to entice it.

As a basic monster in the hunting grounds, the Red Wolf doesn't provide much bonus to Spirit Points or rating.

In the hunting grounds, as long as you can defeat the old hunter and complete the hidden mission, you can directly obtain the highest rating!

This means that there is only one key to the hunting grounds, and that is the hidden boss in the rift:

Old hunter!
However, this is a raid instance, and with its high distortion level, the old hunter is an extremely troublesome monster!

However, despite this, the old hunter was still no match for him and the Water Beast!
Unfortunately, the water creatures are typical territorial beings and will not easily leave their territory.

In other words, the only problem now is how to lure the old hunter into the cave.

If he actively seeks out the old hunter and lures him with lies, some unexpected situations are bound to arise.

After all, no one knows when the old hunter will transform into a monster and point his rifle at a human's head.

The old hunter needed fresh red wolves to satisfy his insatiable appetite.

Therefore, the best way is to 'fish'.

If you want to attract a red wolf with a keen sense of smell in a fixed location, delicious meat is undoubtedly a pretty good choice.

The aroma of roasted meat should attract these red wolves... Chen Qi silently took out the items from his backpack card.

In this hunting ground, his prey is not a weak wolf.

His real purpose was to lure the red wolf with roasted meat, and then use the red wolf to lure the old hunter.

These red wolves are merely bait.

Of course, success still depends on some luck.

Chen Qi found some tree branches, whittled them with a black knife, and then used charcoal to build a rough barbecue grill.

These were all high-quality beef and pork, with a good balance of fat and lean, which cost him a full 1,500 shell coins.

Next, Chen used a black knife to cut the beef and pork and placed them on the grill.

Light the fire and start grilling the meat!
In no time, the meat, after being roasted by the flames, became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Sprinkle in a pinch of salt, plenty of sesame seeds, and chili powder made from ghost peppers—

The fragrance slowly spread.

Of course, there's also the most important ingredient: the soul seasoning!
The perfect seasoning can enhance the flavor of the meat itself!

Chen Qi raised his hand, grabbed a handful of cumin, mixed it with the soul seasoning, and sprinkled it on the roasted meat.

The rich aroma of meat instantly filled the forest.

You gained 80 Spirit Points today for cooking barbecue.

"It's done."

Chen Qi happily cut off a piece of roast beef with a black knife and took a bite.

The outer layer is slightly crispy, with just the right amount of chewiness!

"Quite good!"

Chen Qi ate another piece.

This series of smooth and skillful maneuvers completely stunned the starving Red Wolf standing nearby.

That's not fair!
It hadn't wanted to get close to the dangerous Chenqi, but now it felt it would be willing to die just to get a piece of meat. "Want some, puppy?"

Chen Qi smiled, looked at Red Wolf, cut off a small piece of meat with his black knife, and tossed it to Red Wolf.

The food thrown by humans... Red Wolf hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth, lowered his head, and ate the beef.

After eating the meat, the red wolf wagged its tail, spun around, and then ran into the forest.

I wonder if this red wolf will call its companions over because of this meat?
Unsure of what to do, Chen Qi cut the roasted meat into many pieces, then wandered around the cave before throwing the meat on the ground.

Once the meat attracts the wolf pack, it's only a matter of time before it attracts the experienced hunter.

After walking around for a while, he returned to the cave entrance and sat down in front of the barbecue grill.

Next, just wait for the prey to take the bait.

Chen Qi continued grilling meat.

Some time passed.

Hiss--

The forest weeds rustled softly.

Has it finally taken the bait...?

wrong!

Chen Qi turned his head to the side, frowned slightly, and reached out to firmly grasp his black knife.

Among the weeds, you could vaguely see the gun barrel and the jet-black hair.

Did you catch a rabbit before catching a wolf?

boom!boom!
After discussing for a while, the four members of the Black Rabbit Gang emerged from the bushes.

"We meet again, Regulator!"

The leader was none other than Scarface Rabbit, a member of the Black Rabbit Gang.

Some time has passed since the hunt began.

At this moment, Scarred Rabbit's body was covered in red wolf's bloodstains.

It seems they accomplished their task of hunting the red wolves quite well.

"These people don't seem friendly..." Chen Qi shook his head, hiding the Collector behind his back, and said coldly:

"What's the matter? If you want the hunter's map, then you'll have to pay a price."

He had no liking for this gang whose main business was human trafficking.

"cost?"

Scarface Rabbit's lips twitched.

How dare this lone individual demand a price from me?

If the veteran hunter hadn't chosen him as the hunter, they would have attacked the moment they met.

Scarface Rabbit suppressed his urge to attack and glanced at Chen Qi.

There was no blood on Chen Qi's body, meaning he had not fought with wolves.

In addition, he set up a barbecue grill here, and the cave behind him is likely a safe spot with ample supplies.

It seems that the other party is nothing more than someone who chooses to 'live for three days' and dares not fight the Red Wolf.

Scarface Rabbit smiled inwardly and took out two syringes of tranquilizer from his pouch:

“Regulator, it seems you know our purpose, but you should know that some things are too valuable for you to control.”

"Give us the map of the regulators, and we'll give you two syringes of tranquilizer. With these two syringes, you can complete the mission and get out alive."

"Just imagine, if you were targeted by the Flower Witch and turned into fertilizer, you wouldn't even have a corpse left."

Scarface Rabbit spoke as he walked towards Chen Qi.

Halfway there, Scarface Rabbit felt awkward again, forced a smile, and secretly made a hand gesture:
"Of course, as long as you can give us the map... we can help you hunt wolves..."

The moment Scarface Rabbit smiled.

A gang member behind him approached the tree, secretly pulled out a gun, and aimed it at Chen Qi.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, echoing through the forest.

What's wrong!
Scarface Rabbit turned around. The gang member he had arranged to carry out the ambush was now lying in a pool of blood, having been shot once.
"You fucking ambushed us—"

A sneak attack? No, it was a perfectly legitimate shooting.

Chen Qi blew a breath and twirled the Collector in his hand.

If you catch a rabbit, you catch a rabbit.

Good, let's get rid of these harmful rabbits.

After all, the smell of blood is a good bait.
