Wilderness Hunting

Because he didn't want to trouble the Witch Doctor Master, Lu Chen prepared to go hunting outside.

However, as Lu Chen was thinking this, he soon saw the Witch Doctor and the Clan Chief at the entrance.

"Witch Doctor Master, Clan Chief, why are you here?"

"How could we not come when you're doing something like this? Do you know how dangerous it is to go outside the Totem's range!"

Looking at the aggressive old Witch Doctor, Lu Chen didn't show much anger on his face, he could feel the Witch Doctor's concern.

At the same time, Lu Chen understood what the Witch Doctor Master meant, they came to persuade him not to take any more risks.

To this, Lu Chen shook his head.

"Witch Doctor Master, I'm sorry for making you worry, but shouldn't we Barbarians go out and fight? If we keep defending like this, do you think we can hold on?"

These words silenced the Witch Doctor, he certainly knew that constant defense wouldn't work.

Although the village could still continue now, it was just barely surviving, too many of the village's Barbarian adults had already died.

However, even knowing this, the Witch Doctor had no choice, the evil spirits were far too powerful for this small village, without the protection of the Totem, the village would only die faster if they went out.

Lu Chen also understood this, so he directly said, "The other clansmen don't have my talent, staying around the village is the best choice."

"But I'm different, my talent is very good, in order not to waste this talent, I should go to fight, to grow."

Although the words just now were a bit boastful, Lu Chen said it in order to get the Witch Doctor's support.

And after feeling Lu Chen's will, the Witch Doctor could only remain silent.

After all, Lu Chen's legs were his own, if he wanted to go out, the Witch Doctor couldn't stop him.

After a long silence, he finally sighed.

"Alas, forget it, you're almost sixteen, you're already considered an adult, you make your own decisions, but be careful in everything, if you can't beat them, you must run."

"Don't worry, Witch Doctor Master, I'm not willing to die willingly, and I won't leave the Totem too far, with the Totem behind me, if I can't beat them, I can still retreat."

"That's good, you're going to..."

Looking at the Iron Sword in Lu Chen's hand, the Witch Doctor became puzzled.

Lu Chen didn't intend to stop him, and even asked the Witch Doctor Master.

"I'm going hunting, by the way, Witch Doctor Master, do you know where there are more prey?"

"Is it because the battle consumes a lot and there's not enough food? If there's not enough, you can ask me!"

Lu Chen shook his head at the Witch Doctor's kindness.

"Witch Doctor Master, you've already helped me too much, this time, I'll go by myself, and fighting with beasts is also a kind of training."

"Hahaha, A'Chen, you are indeed a good man of our Barbarian race, go to the west side of the village, there are the most prey there, but remember, whether you can hunt food or not, you must return to the village before evening, at night, you cannot survive alone in the wilderness."

"Understood, Clan Chief."

Looking at Lu Chen's back as he quickly left, the Witch Doctor Master sighed a little.

"Alas, A'Chen's ambition is too strong, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Of course it's a good thing, only such A'Chen will be strong enough, instead of being a waste with empty strength and no combat power."

"Moreover, with A'Chen's ambition, I think his future achievements will definitely be more than just Barbarian Bone, and even grow to a higher realm, if that's really the case, our village will really prosper."

Thinking of having a powerful clansman protecting the village, even the Witch Doctor was a little tempted.

However, he quickly shook his head.

"Being above Barbarian Bone is indeed powerful, but how many people can succeed? Most clansmen die on the way."

The Clan Chief did not refute this, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither, the Barbarian tribe is also like this.

The strong are always rare, and too many geniuses fall on the road to becoming strong.

Drawing nourishment from slaughter to strengthen myself, such a path is indeed difficult, and death is always possible, but I have no choice.

At this moment, it was Lu Chen who spoke, running towards the west in large strides while recalling what had just happened.

Lu Chen knew that the Witch Doctor Master's advice was for his own good, but Lu Chen's refusal was without the slightest hesitation.

After all, this world was not like his previous life. In the Celestial Dynasty, even without power, one could easily live a lifetime. But in this world, without power, one could die at any time.

And Lu Chen absolutely did not want to live in fear for the rest of his life.

Therefore, fighting and gaining Experience Points to level up was Lu Chen's only choice.

"It's a pity, Experience Points are not omnipotent. The nutrition needed for leveling up still needs to be solved by myself."

After casually complaining, Lu Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"Compared to others, I, who possess Experience Points, am already much better off. One shouldn't be too greedy!"

Amidst such self-deprecating remarks, Lu Chen quickly advanced towards West Mountain.

Compared to physique and strength, Lu Chen's speed was not very fast. However, with his high stamina, ordinary running hardly consumed any energy. Therefore, Lu Chen's progress, although not fast, was consistently stable.

In just over half an hour, Lu Chen ran into West Mountain. Without lingering on the periphery, Lu Chen directly entered the mountain forest.

"This area is where the clansmen often come to hunt. The prey on the outskirts has long been cleared out. If I want to hunt prey quickly, I can only go deeper."

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen tried his best to delve into the mountain forest.

Thus, after another hour or so, Lu Chen, relying on his strong stamina, completely entered the depths of the mountain forest.

Seeing that there were no traces of human activity around him, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and began searching for prey.

An hour later, in the mountain forest filled with insect noises, a elk was running and jumping frantically. At this moment, a violent sound of air being torn apart came from behind the elk.

"Boom," a loud explosion echoed in the mountain forest.

The high-speed flying object crashed into a large tree.

If one looked closely, one would find that the high-speed flying object was not a weapon, but a small stone that could be picked up anywhere.

However, although the stone was commonly seen, the damage it caused was terrifying.

The stone eventually landed on a large tree, and the tree, struck by the stone, instantly had its bark burst apart, revealing a large pit. At the same time, the stone that hit the tree instantly turned into powder due to the reaction force.

Looking at the large tree that was almost smashed in two, and then at the stone that had turned into powder, one could see how terrifying the power of the monster that threw the stone was.

However, Lu Chen, who possessed such terrifying power, did not look very good.

Of course, Lu Chen's expression would not be good; his hunt was very unsuccessful.

"Damn it, the monsters here are too alert. I can't catch them at all."

Yes, unable to catch them. It had been said before that although Lu Chen was a Swordsman known for his agility, his strongest attributes were strength and physique.

And this made Lu Chen's hunting very difficult.

The prey in the Barbarian Wasteland might be weak, but their running speed was definitely top-notch.

Lu Chen, who had ventured deep into the mountain forest, had seen wild animals several times, but the running speed of those prey made Lu Chen feel somewhat out of reach.

After chasing several times in a row, wasting a lot of stamina but gaining nothing, Lu Chen chose ranged attacks.

Lu Chen, who had not yet obtained the Sword Qi ability, could only throw hidden weapons for ranged attacks.

Unfortunately, without the blessing of skills, and being his first time using them, Lu Chen's talent for hidden weapons was really terrible.

Several times in a row, the stones he threw out created a great momentum, but each attack was in vain.

Faced with this situation, Lu Chen was really frustrated.

"Sigh, am I going to go back like this?"

He could find prey, but he couldn't chase them down. He didn't have a bow and arrow, and his ability to throw hidden weapons was lacking. Lu Chen was really at a loss.

Just as Lu Chen was feeling a headache, suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he abruptly turned around.

"Danger is approaching."

Feeling the approaching danger, Lu Chen instantly tensed his body and entered a battle-ready state.

"What is that thing? A monster? But, weren't monsters supposed to dissipate when the sun appears? Or is this a monster that can appear during the day?"

Lu Chen tensed up, guarding against the appearance of the monster.

However, soon, Lu Chen revealed a look of surprise.

Turning around, Lu Chen discovered that the one attacking him was not the monster he had always considered his enemy, but a gray-brown bear, with all four limbs on the ground, approaching at high speed.

"A Brown Bear! I came to hunt, but I'm being attacked by a wild beast."
