A Life-or-Death Race for Food

"Hunting!"

A soft voice spoke.

The next moment, text appeared.

Target: Acquire Hunting Skill (To be determined)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path 1: Bring one jin of meat to visit Zhang Shan's home every three days, and Zhang Shan will agree to teach you hunting skills."

"Path 2: Go to the jungle and live there daily. After one month, you will acquire the hunting skill."

As the text appeared and the new target was set, paths quickly emerged.

However, looking at the paths, Chen Xuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Both paths were undoubtedly extremely difficult.

The second path needed no explanation. Going to the jungle and living there daily to acquire the hunting skill after a month was stating the obvious. If he didn't acquire the hunting skill in a month, he wouldn't be alive anymore.

As for the first path, it was also not simple. One jin of meat for Zhang Shan to teach for three days. In this era, this cost was not low; it was even very high.

His one Mountain Chicken was only enough for ten days to half a month of learning.

And wanting to learn hunting skills in ten days to half a month was completely a pipe dream.

"I have to take a risk!"

The soft voice spoke, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at another path in the food item from last night.

Taking the Mountain Chicken to seek knowledge was clearly not suitable.

Then there was only the large Black Carp.

Although getting that large Black Carp required going into the water, he couldn't care about that anymore at this moment.

If he didn't quickly master some skills, even eating his fill would be a problem, let alone anything else.

Thinking of this, he instructed Xiao Shitou and then walked out of the room.

Half an hour later, his figure arrived by the river.

Chen Xuan searched around and quickly found his target.

Then he began to act.

A large stone was laboriously moved into the water, and then he moved it through the water towards the target location.

The movements were extremely difficult and strenuous.

The water also became deeper and deeper.

Gradually, it submerged his thighs.

However, Chen Xuan couldn't worry about that much and continued to push the stone.

After more than two hours, he finally moved the stone into place, panting heavily.

"Phew!"

Looking at the position he had placed it in and comparing it to the location, Chen Xuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and was about to head back.

But at this moment, his foot seemed to stumble.

"Plop!"

The sound of falling into water echoed, and the next moment, Chen Xuan's entire body sank directly towards the bottom of the water.

"Gulp, gulp!"

Large mouthfuls of water rushed into his stomach, and his consciousness instantly became hazy.

After a moment, Chen Xuan reacted and began to struggle rapidly.

But his feet seemed to be bound, making it impossible to break free.

"Open, open for me!"

Discovering that he was sinking deeper and deeper, Chen Xuan also became anxious, and his hands thrashed wildly.

And at this moment, text appeared.

Target: Undo the binding (To be determined)

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Method one: Pour Virgin Boy Urine, will be undone in ten seconds."

"Method two,"

The text appeared, instantly flooding into his mind. Chen Xuan's mind also seemed to flow with a coolness, and his consciousness instantly cleared.

"Urine, Virgin Boy Urine?"

His expression was somewhat confused, but feeling himself sinking further at this moment, Chen Xuan couldn't care less. He quickly forced himself to urinate.

Fortunately, he hadn't gone to the bathroom all day, so the urge to urinate came quickly.

The urine splashed out.

In an instant, it mixed with the water. In the haze, the mist wrapped around his feet seemed to have encountered boiling water, suddenly contracting. The mist quickly curled up, and the binding on him disappeared in an instant.

Chen Xuan only felt his feet lighten. The next moment, he couldn't care about anything else and struggled with all his might towards the surface of the water.

After a moment.

By the riverbank, Chen Xuan suddenly crawled out, completely soaked, his body gasping for air.

After only two steps, his body stumbled, and he fell directly onto the riverbank.

"I, I came up."

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Chen Xuan still felt a lingering fear at this moment.

His gaze involuntarily drifted towards the deep, dark river water, and a primal fear instinctively arose in his heart.

His body even couldn't help but shrink back a few steps.

That scene just now was almost no different from escaping death.

What made him even more terrified was what that thing that had entangled him was.

If it had been right after he transmigrated, he would have thought it was water weeds.

But at this moment, he couldn't think that way anymore.

His consciousness was very clear at this moment.

He remembered, it seemed that only his virgin boy urine had released the restraint.

What kind of thing needed virgin boy urine to be released from restraint?

Just thinking about such a thing sent shivers down his spine.

He even instinctively wanted to escape.

It wasn't until he saw the bluestone he had set up that Chen Xuan forcefully stopped his steps.

At this moment, there wasn't much time left until the Black Carp acquisition set by the system. If he left now, the Black Carp would definitely be taken by someone else, and it wouldn't be so easy for him to get food again.

Moreover, this incident had clearly made him understand that although the system could set goals and generate completion methods, this method didn't mean he could complete it 100%.

If he missed this opportunity, he would undoubtedly have to continue taking risks to get food next time.

"Damn it, don't tell me there are ghosts in this world!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but curse under his breath, his unease not easing at all.

Until.

"Splash!"

A Black Carp leaped directly out of the water, preparing to rush upstream as usual. However, this time, its height was blocked by a small stone.

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out.

It was as if the scene from last night was happening again.

However, this time, because the fish was bigger and the impact was greater, the huge sound could be heard even dozens of meters away.

The next moment, under Chen Xuan's dumbfounded gaze, the large Black Carp's entire head slammed directly onto the bluestone, bouncing off and landing at his feet.

The fish's body was still trembling violently.

It wasn't until it flopped twice that Chen Xuan suddenly reacted, quickly pressed down on the large fish, and smashed a stone directly onto its head.

Then, he quickly put the large fish into the bamboo basket he had prepared earlier.

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Xuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He took a deep look at the river, then without the slightest hesitation, he immediately hoisted the bamboo basket onto his back and quickly left.

From now on, unless absolutely necessary, he wasn't planning on coming back to this river.

Chen Xuan's figure quickly departed.

Meanwhile, deep within the riverbed.

Streaks of black energy were constantly churning, and an ominous aura continued to spread.

And the urine that Chen Xuan had previously sprinkled had unknowingly completely evaporated.
