Survival: Fighting floods from a thatched hut.

Zhang Chi walked cautiously towards the source of the sound, hiding his body behind the one-meter-high weeds.

He guessed that the sound was most likely made by some large beast.

This place is not far from the shelter, and Zhang Chi will not allow any threats to exist around.

He held a light steel axe in his right hand, raised his left hand, and pointed the crossbow forward.

With equipment like this, he wouldn't even dare to provoke an elephant.

Although he thought so, he still took out the contract scroll and held it in his left hand.

Whether or not you hold something in your left hand does not affect the crossbow shooting.

If the creature that made the sound was too powerful and could not be killed by one arrow, Zhang Chi would immediately activate the contract scroll when the creature rushed towards him.

If it succeeds, that would be the best. If not, it would at least buy him time to fire another arrow.

He just didn't believe that there could be any creature around the shelter that could survive being hit by two arrows from an excellent-grade crossbow.

I walked for more than two hundred meters with my back bent. The sound became louder and louder, and it sounded like it was just a few dozen meters ahead of me.

Zhang Chi quietly stuck his head out and looked forward.

At this time, not far away, there was a two or three meter tall brown bear hitting a ten meter tall tree.

There are many broken branches under the tree, with tender green leaves on them.

It looks like the brown bear tried to climb the tree and ended up breaking the branch.

He had some doubts in his heart.

Did he remember that bears could climb trees without branches?

After a closer look, Zhang Chi discovered a clue.

There were several bloody marks on the brown bear's face, as if it had been scratched by some creature.

One of the rays pierced through its left eye, causing tears of blood to flow from it.

Zhang Chi's gaze gradually moved upwards, and suddenly, he saw a familiar yellow figure.

Is that the leopard?

The brown bear wanted to climb a tree to catch the leopard, but was scratched by the leopard and fell down.

No wonder the brown bear kept banging its head against the tree; it turned out it wanted to push the tree down and force the leopard down.

He took out the survival manual and identified the brown bear.

Brown Bear

Strength: High quality

Evaluation: A relatively powerful hunter, with a tall body and great strength. If it is flexible enough, it will be invincible at the premium level. 】

Leopard

Strength: High quality

Evaluation: A lucky beast, who has gained some opportunities and has reached the high-quality level of strength before reaching adulthood. But this has also brought disaster upon him. 】

Leopard has reached premium grade?

It was normal yesterday, how could the chance be so strong?

Looking at the comments of the two creatures, Zhang Chi also understood why the brown bear would rather push the tree down than give up.

It turned out that the leopard stole the brown bear's opportunity.

But these have nothing to do with him. No matter what the reason, he can't continue to let them fight like this.

If a brown bear of this size ran near his shelter, the wooden house would not be able to withstand a few blows.

Slow down your breathing, relax and gradually calm down.

He raised his left arm and pointed the arrow at the brown bear that was hitting the tree.

As the brown bear hit the tree again, the recoil caused its huge body to pause.

It was only for a moment, but it was enough.

It's now!

call out!

The energy arrow shot out like lightning, entering the left back of the brown bear's head and exiting from its right eye.

This sudden scene frightened the leopard, which was already a frightened bird, so much that it fell directly from the tree.

It fell right on the brown bear's back.

It stood up quickly, glanced at Zhang Chi, and then disappeared into the forest in an instant.

Zhang Chi secretly thought it was a pity.

He aimed too slowly. The leopard was small and extremely fast, and before he could turn his crossbow around, it ran away.

But it’s not a big problem, it will be the same next time I kill him.

Zhang Chi did not rush forward to collect the body, but shot another arrow at the brown bear's head.

Seeing that there was still no movement, Zhang Chi felt relieved.

The Brown Bear is so big that there is no space to put the manual.

I originally planned to collect a part of it first and then leave it with Kong Dongfang through a transaction.

But what was unexpected was that the manual actually included all the brown bears at once.

Then, 100 units of bear meat, two bear paws, a bear skin and a bear gallbladder appeared in the space.

Zhang Chi was shocked. How could this manual be used for kickbacks? !

This didn't happen when I put other materials in before.

A brown bear that is over two meters tall, with broad arms and a thick waist, only has 100 kilograms of meat?

The only internal organs left were the bear gallbladder, and there was not a single bone left.

It's not that short of weight.

Zhang Chi quickly identified it.

After reading the information, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to bear skin, bear meat, bear paws and bear gall are all described as the essence of brown bear flesh and blood. Presumably, the manual has concentrated its energy.

Bear Paw

Grade: High quality

Evaluation: It contains a large amount of brown bear blood and flesh essence, and contains more abundant energy, which is easier to absorb and digest. 】

The other two are pretty much the same.

One unit of bear meat weighs one kilogram. He now has 1 kilograms of bear meat, enough to last him a month.

Instead of feeling sorry for the little bit of meat you have, you might as well think about how to preserve it.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Chi suddenly discovered that there was an extra black iron treasure chest in the manual space.

In addition to what I picked up by the river in the morning, there was another one under the bear meat.

【Black Iron Treasure Box

Quality: High quality

Evaluation: Obtained by killing a high-quality brown bear. The probability of dropping combat-related items increases. 】

This... has really become a game?

Kill monsters and get treasure?

From this perspective, the little bit of bear meat that was missing was not a loss at all. Zhang Chi even wanted to ask Handong to take the rest as well, as long as he got another black iron treasure chest.

It seems that I have to pay more attention to the monsters around me in the future. If the explosion rate of the treasure chest is 100%, then the efficiency will be much higher than relying on luck outside.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill the leopard, otherwise I would have had another box.

He looked reluctantly in the direction where the leopard left and left silently.

Zhang Chi went all the way south and did not encounter any wild beasts on the way, nor did he find any resources worth mining, let alone treasure chests.

Fortunately, he got a black iron treasure chest by the river before, otherwise he wouldn’t have found any treasure chest today.

After entering the mist area, Zhang Chi first picked two kilograms of wood ear mushrooms on the west side.

By the way, I explored the entire west side of the shelter.

Perhaps it was because it was too dark when he was exploring yesterday, this time he actually found several kinds of mushrooms on the west side.

After confirming that it was non-toxic, Zhang Chi picked some and planned to take it back to try.

Afterwards, Zhang Chi explored all the new areas in the protected area along the fog dividing line.

Although the area has expanded to four times its previous size, no new resources have appeared.

Both the vegetation and the soil are almost the same as at the beginning.

After going around in a circle, from west to north, and then to east, now only the south is left to explore.

The trees on the south side are different from those on the east and north sides. Instead, they are similar to those on the west side. They are all short and thick varieties.

There were also some wood ears growing on the tree, but compared to the ones on the west, they were much smaller, so Zhang Chi did not pick them.

Just when he was about to reach the last area, Zhang Chi discovered that the trees ahead were unusually sparse, so he quickly quickened his pace.

Unexpectedly, he found a small cornfield in this barren forest.

The corn stalks are thicker than mineral water bottle caps, and upon closer inspection they are slightly yellow.

The corn cobs, as thick as arms, were wrapped in emerald green leaves, with brown silk sticking out from the tops.

Identification information shows:

【corn

Grade: Ordinary

Rating: Pure natural mature corn, easy to grow and high yield, full of satiety. 】

Most of the corn had just matured. Zhang Chi pulled aside the husk and pinched the corn kernels.

It's a bit hard and I'm afraid it tastes old.

But Zhang Chi is not picky, as long as there is anything to eat.

At least it's carbs.

The feeling of emptiness caused by the lack of carbohydrates cannot be compensated by eating meat.

Zhang Chi worked hard with both hands, and in a short while he had broken off all the corn in this small piece, harvesting a total of 100 corns.

The quantity was a bit small, but Zhang Chi was very satisfied, as he didn’t only eat corn.

I'll give two corns to Qian Zhongtian and ask him to plant them. Maybe he can achieve corn freedom before he finishes eating the ones he has.

After looking around and finding nothing else, Zhang Chi simply went home.

It is now about half an hour away from dark, so we have made full use of the daytime.

He also didn't want to go back before dark. After all, it was raining and the sky outside was not very bright.

Zhang Chi chose a route he had never taken before. Unexpectedly, not long after walking, he saw a wooden treasure chest under a tree.

However, the manual space was basically full now, and he was too lazy to look for Kong Dongfang for this matter, so he simply carried the box back.

He now has three unopened treasure chests, one made of wood and two made of black iron.

He planned to wait until tomorrow when the number of talents was refreshed and then open the Black Iron Treasure Box after it was upgraded, otherwise it would be a bit of a waste.

Forget about the wooden treasure chest. He had already decided to upgrade his three talents into a high-quality iron pickaxe and a black iron treasure chest, leaving no extra for the wooden treasure chest.

As he got closer to the shelter, Zhang Chi always had an illusion that the sky around him seemed to be getting brighter.

Looking up at the sky, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was gloomy, and it didn't look like it was going to clear up.

Zhang Chi quickly quickened his pace. Could something unexpected have happened in the shelter?

Walking out of the forest, Zhang Chi saw his shelter.

He finally understood why the sky was getting brighter.

At this moment, in front of the shelter, there was a figure that was glowing. The brightness was like a 200-watt light bulb, making Zhang Chi unable to look directly at it.

"Xiaohong?!"
