Once everyone is here, we won't waste any time.

The three of them soon embarked on their journey into the mountains.

When we first entered the mountains, the road was relatively easy to walk on, and the distance between the trees was still quite large.

However, the further you go in, the more densely the plants become.

Although they are dry and only branches remain, they are covered with sharp thorns.

If you're not careful, you can cut someone open with a big gash.

Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi were in front, wielding machetes and chopping down the branches.

Jiang Li and Pudding followed behind the two.

Jiang Li held a wooden stick in her hand. While Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi were chopping, she stretched the stick forward and knocked on the trees to drive away some small animals inside.

"I never imagined that the roads in these mountains would be so difficult to travel."

Liang Zi muttered as he chopped tree branches.

He thought that with such a drought, the plants should have died long ago, but when he looked, the plants had indeed died, but they left behind dense branches blocking the road.

Just like in a fairy tale, even after the knight who protected the princess died, he left behind sharp mechanisms to prevent others from getting close.

After walking through these branches for more than thirty minutes, Jiang Li heard the sound of water coming from afar.

Jiang Li could hardly believe her ears.

"Brother Mo, can you hear the sound of water?"

She asked Ye Jingmo an uncertain question, but received a likely affirmative answer from me.

Liangzi said excitedly:

"It seems we've reached our destination for today. We should be able to see it after we cut down this section of branches."

Liangzi was in a great mood, feeling all his fatigue swept away, and was ready to unleash his full potential and make a big splash.

After clearing the last section of the road, the three of them saw a completely different scene.

Right in the middle of the front is a small spring, bubbling and gurgling, surrounded by a ring of green aquatic plants.

Every now and then, small animals would bury their heads in the spring to drink water.

Just the next second,

A falcon swooped down from the sky, its sharp, powerful talons snatching up a rabbit that was drinking water, and soared away.

It frightened the small animals drinking water nearby, causing them to scatter and flee.

But soon after, more small animals gathered around to drink the water.

After all, what just happened is something that happens to them every day.

Liangzi looked at the two little black rabbits drinking water on the left side of the spring and lowered his voice:

"Captain, how should we proceed?"

What do you think of those two little rabbits?

Ye Jingmo observed for a while, then shook his head.

"We don't want those two rabbits, we want that one."

Ye Jingmo pointed his long, slender finger in one direction.

Following the direction of his finger, Liangzi discovered that it was a goat with long horns drinking water.

Without a single question, Liangzi immediately nodded in agreement.

He believed that Ye Jingmo must have his reasons for making such a decision.

His job is simply to carry out the instructions.

Ye Jingmo took out a rope from his backpack and tied it into a noose.

After handing this one to Liang Zi, Ye Jingmo made another one.

Jiang Li then took out a crossbow from his backpack.

The bow and crossbow are soaked in a high concentration of anesthetic, which guarantees that once the prey is hit, it will be difficult for it to escape.

When Liangzi saw this equipment, his eyes lit up with stars.

This crossbow looks like it requires a lot of points, which he can't afford right now.

However, he believes that he will have a large amount of points after this trip to the deep mountains.

When that time comes, he will definitely choose a suitable weapon.

Ye Jingmo briefly explained his plan to Jiang Li and Liang Zi.

Jiang Li will hide in the bushes here and observe the right moment to fire the arrow.

He and Liangzi then circled around to the rear of the ram, blocking its escape route.

They would simply throw out a lasso to secure the ram's head.

Jiang Li waited for the right moment and immediately released his crossbow.

Jiang Li and Liang Zi gave each other an OK sign.

Pudding lay at Jiang Li's feet, her eyes sharp as knives as she stared at the prey outside, without making a sound.

Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi bent over and carefully moved to the bushes behind the ram.

The two simultaneously threw out ropes and spun around in the air.

The ram, engrossed in drinking, remained oblivious to the danger and continued to stroll leisurely by the spring.

Liangzi couldn't contain himself any longer and threw the rope in his hand.

The rope slashed through the air at lightning speed, making a whistling sound, like an arrow piercing the sky.

Liangzi's eyes were fixed on the ram, his heart pounding.

There was only one thought in my mind: I had to get it right, I had to get it right.

At this moment, the ram seemed to sense something, tilting its head outwards as the rope grazed its horns.

Startled, the ram raised its paws and ran towards the bushes. Pudding, who was hiding in the bushes, immediately jumped out, startling the ram.

Ye Jingmo quickly threw the rope in his hand, and it was successfully looped around the ram's neck.

The ram struggled to escape, but Ye Jingmo tightened the rope and pulled it back.

All this happened in a flash of lightning.

The ram struggled with all its might, while Ye Jingmo gripped the rope tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

The ram was so strong that it almost dragged him across.

Seeing this, Liangzi quickly pulled back the rope and threw it towards the ram's head.

This time, the target was successfully targeted.

He and Ye Jingmo each pulled the ram from one direction, immobilizing it.

Jiang Li seized the opportunity, drew his bow and shot an arrow into the ram's belly.

"Bah."

The ram bleated, and a bow was inserted into its abdomen, from which blood slowly seeped.

It struggled even harder, and Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi were both pulled and staggered.

Pudding lowered his body and slowly approached the ram, a posture that suggested the three of them and the dog were taking over the reins.

The ram's struggles gradually weakened, and its limbs swayed uncontrollably, as if it were drunk.

Jiang Li knew that the anesthetic had taken effect.

Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi also loosened their grip a bit.

They waited for the ram to fall.

As expected, the ram collapsed and couldn't get up a minute later.

For safety's sake, the three waited a while longer to make sure the ram was truly powerless to resist before approaching.

With a look of affection in his eyes, Liangzi excitedly stroked the ram's fur from head to tail.

Really good.

They can earn a lot of points from just this one ram on their trip up the mountain.

We can even have meat at home once a year.

Thinking of his child's sallow face, Liangzi felt a pang of heartache and bitterness.

It's all his fault as a father; he's useless and can't even give them a proper meal.

Children need a lot of nutrition as they grow.

But with this damned apocalypse, food and vegetables that used to be readily available are now incredibly precious.

Ordinary people simply cannot make a living.

If he hadn't met the captain, he probably wouldn't have been able to bring back a single sheep if he had gone up the mountain alone.
