Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?

Before the sun had risen, Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng woke up.

It wasn't their own awakening, but the commotion outside that disturbed them.

On the side, Eldest Dou was still sound asleep. Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng didn't disturb him and walked out of the house.

After they stepped outside, they saw the villagers, including A'man, carrying bows and spears as if preparing to go hunting.

"Sorry for waking you up, but winter is approaching, so we need to prepare more food. Otherwise, if we wait until winter to hunt, the harvest might not be enough to sustain us," A'man explained when he saw Lin Feng and the others awake.

Lin Feng nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, he suddenly said, "Can I join you guys?"

A'man was momentarily surprised, exchanged glances with the others, and then nodded.

"Of course, if you're willing to join us, that would be great."

Lin Feng smiled. Although they were not asked to pay any accommodation fees, the villagers didn't specify how long they could stay.

Despite Lin Feng's initial intention to leave after a few days, the prospect of free meals for those days was tempting.

Moreover, Lin Feng wanted to see if they could encounter any magical beasts during the hunt.

Afterward, A'man provided Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng with spears, and after putting on animal skin clothes, they set out.

They entered the mountains directly. Despite the proximity to the sea, the area was filled with numerous mountains, and the terrain was complex.

However, A'man and the others were very familiar with the area. They led Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng purposefully through the mountain forest.

But, from dawn to noon, they hadn't seen any prey.

A'man seemed concerned that Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng might get impatient and explained, "This situation is normal. Sometimes when we go hunting, we spend the whole day without any harvest. Sometimes, we need to track the prey for several days."

Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng nodded without saying much.

This primitive life relied entirely on luck. If lucky, they would eat well; if unlucky, starvation was a possibility.

As for crop cultivation, the tribe didn't even know what rice was, let alone how to grow it.

Although they could rely on seafood from the sea, consuming too much wasn't a good idea.

A'man laughed, mentioning that someone in their tribe died from gout because they ate seafood every day.

Their lives were extremely primitive, and in case of illness, they had to leave it to fate.

While A'man was talking about their daily life, a man in the group suddenly stopped, picked up some weeds from the ground, tasted them, and excitedly said, "Deer, it left not long ago!"

Others were thrilled at the news, but Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng were puzzled.

How did he discover this?

When they asked A'man, they learned that the man had tasted the urine of the prey, judging the freshness to estimate how long ago the creature had left.

As for tracking, they had their own methods, identifying the direction the prey had left by the traces it left behind.

The group continued their pursuit. When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, they finally spotted the prey from a distance.

A'man immediately strung his bow, held his breath, and the others dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing him.

Then, A'man shot an arrow. The roughly made arrow whooshed through the air, directly piercing the neck of the distant prey.

However, the prey didn't die immediately but ran frantically with the arrow.

A'man and the others didn't hurry to catch up; instead, they waited for it to die naturally.

A'man's arrow was strategically placed, hitting the blood vessels in the prey's neck without causing immediate death. As the prey fled, the blood flow increased, eventually leading to excessive bleeding and death.

This way, they saved themselves the trouble of bleeding the prey after obtaining it.

Moreover, shooting the neck allowed them to easily remove the fur from the prey, which served as their warm clothing.

Finally, before the sun completely set, the prey collapsed on the ground.

Other members of the group skillfully removed the arrows from the prey's body, saving them for future use. Then, they carried the prey on their backs, preparing to return.

However, at this moment, A'man suddenly shouted, "No, quickly discard that thing, let's run!"

Without doubting A'man's words, the young man carrying the prey immediately dropped it on the ground. The whole group started running away.

Although Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng were puzzled, they didn't foolishly stay behind. Instead, they followed the group.

It wasn't until the group had run far away that A'man stopped panting.

Seeing Lin Feng and Zhou Tiansheng's confusion, A'man explained while catching his breath, "Just now, a magical beast came. It was attracted by the bloody smell of the prey. We can't handle magical beasts. Luckily, we ran fast, and the magical beast didn't pay attention to us."

Lin Feng was intrigued. Was the other party's danger intuition so sharp? After all, he and Zhou Tiansheng didn't notice anything.
