Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 75, Bamboo Rats

Lin Yue wasn't familiar with the name, and besides, this floating island points battle was inherently competitive. The rescue was just a momentary instinct and an easy thing to do. Lin Yue didn't intend to stay with that person, so she simply pretended not to have heard and quickly left.

Seeing that Lin Yue ignored his calls, Xu Jun felt somewhat disappointed. He chased after her for a few steps, then slowly stopped, his gaze falling on the corroded ground, a wave of fear washing over him.

He took a picture and posted it in the local chat: "[Grass.jpg] My God! Look! The prey on this floating island spews sulfuric acid! The venom feels even more potent than sulfuric acid!"

As soon as the photo was posted, someone in the area chat immediately replied: "You encountered prey? What level of prey was it? Did you kill it?"

Xu Jun: "I don't even know what level it is. How could I possibly kill it? I was almost done for. Luckily, a female warrior came to my rescue! She was so cool. I don't know what method she used to immobilize the snake, but she cut it in two with one slash."

Huang Wenmin: "Tch, a snake that can be chopped in two by a woman is probably only level one, right? We've already encountered level two pheasants! The roasted pheasants will be so fragrant after we kill them! [pheasant.jpg]"

"Oh my god, there are pheasants? It makes me so hungry."

"What good is being hungry? Can you even win a fight?"

The crowd teased him again, and Xu Jun protested, "I don't know what level the snake is, but it looks much bigger than this pheasant. It must be a meter or two long!"

Some people are curious: "Who is that female knight-errant? Did you ask her name? You saw her thighs, why aren't you grabbing her?"

Xu Jun: "No, they've already left."

Xu Jun: "It's not that easy to cling to someone's coattails!"

"That's true, you'd better run quickly. If a second snake comes out, there's no guarantee anyone will come to save you."

Xu Jun saw this and thought it made sense, so he stopped chatting and ran like the wind towards an open area. He didn't know the level of the flower snake, but Lin Yue did. After severing the flower snake with a single strike, Lin Yue received a system notification: [Killed a level 4 spotted venomous snake *1, points +4, current points 4.]

Level 4 prey?

As Lin Yue walked, she pondered to herself. She remembered that the wild boar she had killed was only a level 2 monster, but it looked much stronger than this level 4 spotted venomous snake. Could it be that the level of the prey in the points battle is calculated separately?

Lin Yue wasn't in a hurry. While keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings, she slowly walked forward. As she walked, she looked around and gradually noticed that the ground beneath her feet was getting lower and lower. After a while, she discovered a lush bamboo forest not far away, which looked particularly verdant and upright under the sunlight.

bamboo!

Lin Yue's eyes lit up instantly; she had wanted bamboo for a long time. She had traded two with Liang Dong before—one was used to make a new fishing net, and the other she gave away when Liang Dong ran out of materials for a reclining chair. Since then, she hadn't been able to trade for bamboo again.

Bamboo has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make various household items, such as bamboo baskets, hampers, cups, and bowls, and even musical instruments. Of course, Lin Yue wanted bamboo for only two reasons: first, to grow it and eat fresh bamboo shoots; and second, to make bamboo rice!

Bamboo rice is the perfect match for cured pork! Lin Yue has always felt that the food she makes nowadays is too monotonous. If you want to eat food that has meat, rice and vegetables, you have to make them separately and then put them together on a plate.

However, when she's out, like now, it's not so convenient for her to eat a variety of foods if she's hungry.

However, things are different with bamboo rice!

It comes with its own container, which can hold meat, vegetables and rice at the same time – it's perfect!

Lin Yue became more and more excited as she thought about it, but she slowed her pace even more. There was a level four snake on that big tree just now, and she didn't believe that there wouldn't be any animals in such a large bamboo forest.

Upon reaching the edge of the bamboo forest, Lin Yue first took out a shovel, dug up several thinner bamboo stalks, and, along with a lot of soil, directly put them into the Plants vs. Zombies game.

When Xiaolin Yue saw that there was work to be done again, she quickly ran over and soon began to plan the area for planting bamboo.

While digging for bamboo, Lin Yue also came across several bamboo shoots that had just sprouted from the ground. She dug them up one by one and put them directly into her backpack. She wouldn't give these bamboo shoots to Lin Yue for now; she wanted to figure out what to make with them. Hmm, bamboo shoots stir-fried with cured pork? Bamboo shoot stew with chicken? Pickled bamboo shoots?

Wow, they're all delicious!

Lin Yue became more and more excited as she dug, turning over almost every inch of the surrounding land. Soon, she had dug up all the bamboo shoots around the bamboo forest.

Her shovel was of excellent quality, allowing her to dig quickly and efficiently. After clearing the edges, Lin Yue became more selective. She carefully looked around and finally chose a sturdy bamboo stalk in the middle of the bamboo grove. This bamboo was thicker than her arm, lush and green, and looked perfect for making bamboo rice.

Since she wasn't planning to plant the bamboo, she could just cut it down. Lin Yue put away the shovel, took out the fine-grade iron axe, and chopped hard at the base of the bamboo.

She wielded the iron axe with great force, and in just five or six strokes, the bamboo began to sway before crashing to the ground.

Just then, she suddenly heard a rapid "gurgling" sound, and then several creatures that looked like gray rabbits quickly scurried out from between the collapsed bamboo stalks.

what is this?

rabbit?

Lin Yue was stunned. There was no time to get the Peashooter. She aimed at one of the creatures and took out a peacock feather dart from her pocket and shot it.

With a "click," the creature was struck by Lin Yue's sparrow feather dart and fell to the ground.

Lin Yue took a few quick steps forward and, after careful observation, realized that the creature in front of her was not the rabbit she had initially thought it was.

Its fur is grayish-brown, its body is round and compact, and its limbs are short but appear exceptionally agile. Its tail is short and thick, complementing its round body perfectly. This is a bamboo rat.

At this moment, the bamboo rat was not completely dead. When it saw Lin Yue approaching, it widened its eyes warily, bared its sharp teeth, and made a fierce "squeak" sound, as if it was about to make a final struggle.

Without hesitation, Lin Yue swiftly drew her dagger and cleanly ended the bamboo rat's life with two swift cuts.

As the bamboo rat fell, the system notification sounded again: [Killed 1 level 2 bamboo rat, +2 points, current points: 6.]
