Chapter 7: A Little Test of Skills (If you like it, please add it to your bookshelf.)
I sat with Li Yan by the wooden block, chatting and laughing while eating barbecue. The barbecue still only tasted a little salty, nothing else, but fortunately it was fresh.
Qianqian didn't complain and still ate with satisfaction.
When handing the water to Li Yan, he secretly added the pills he bought for him and coaxed him to drink all the water in the bamboo jar.
He Qianqian thought for a moment and pulled out the newly bought supplies from the grass nest.
"Li Yan, I'll give you all the treasures that my father and his family left behind."
Li Yan's attention was quickly drawn to the knives and crossbows inside. He took them in his hands and played with them, unable to let go: "Qianqian, the knives are very sharp. I'll take one for hunting. You can keep the other for self-defense."
"Okay." This was exactly what Qianqian wanted. "This is called a crossbow. I'll teach you how to use it later. It can be used to hunt small prey. It's very useful."
"Okay." Li Yan couldn't wait and had no doubt that these were good things brought by Qianqian's father.
He Qianqian's family migrated here from a distant place, and the six males are all very capable warriors. The extra prey can be exchanged for other treasures at the market.
It's no surprise that they have good things that they don't know about.
Li Yan quickly accepted these things and learned how to use them, which made He Qianqian feel at ease.
The two came out of the cave, and He Qianqian taught him how to use a bow and crossbow, and practice aiming and shooting with fixed targets.
For a second-level feline orc with awakened superpowers, this is not a difficult task.
The cat-like beastman has a flexible body and very sharp eyesight.
Soon, Li Yan was eager to go to a distant place and find a moving target to try out his crossbow. He couldn't wait to fatten Qianqian up and store enough food for her to survive the winter.
The two put on their leather boots, filled their kettles with boiling water, and went for a walk around the neighborhood.
The Golden Cat Tribe is located in the heart of the Cuifeng Mountains, surrounded by mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The vegetation is lush and tall, and the resources are abundant, but it is also full of dangers and risks.
In the wild land, poisonous plants, insects and snakes can be seen everywhere, not to mention all kinds of tall and ferocious beasts. There are even many crazy beasts wandering in the forest.
But the several mountains surrounding the Golden Cat Tribe have been almost cleared by the orcs. There are still roads made by the orcs nearby, and females also come to collect.
Unknowingly, the two of them were heading towards the cliff where they were going to jump off.
I don’t know why, but Li Yan feels that after getting together, he has endless energy and is full of confidence in the future.
He unfolded his special abilities and found that his hearing, smell and vision were more sensitive. He moved his ears and was able to hear all kinds of sounds in a large area around him.
Suddenly, his ears twitched a few times and he listened attentively. Li Yan pressed Qianqian's shoulder and signaled her to squat and hide.
He pointed to the front and side and showed it to her.
But Qianqian, a female, is just an ordinary cat. She opened her eyes wide but couldn't see any prey.
But she still cooperated by lowering her body, holding her breath and making no sound.
Li Yan was seen raising the crossbow, holding his breath, aiming, and keeping his arms, shoulders, neck, and head motionless.
With a "puff" sound, the arrow flew through the air.
Then I heard some small animal struggling for a few times and then it stopped moving.
Li Yan transformed into four limbs and ran forward quickly. In a few breaths, he turned back, holding a fat rabbit in his hand, with an arrow hitting its head.
"What a big rabbit. It's enough for us to eat for two days."
It was a fat rabbit, about the size of a medium-sized dog, weighing at least thirty kilograms.
Li Yan pursed his lips and smiled knowingly at her: "Qianqian's crossbow is useful."
"What do you mean my family's and your family's? Li Yan is also my family." He Qianqian corrected him.
"Yes. Li Yan is from Qianqian's family." He leaned down and put his forehead against He Qianqian's forehead, forehead against forehead, nose against nose, and rubbed them with a smile on his face.
The two big fools just giggled on the cliff, and they were full of anticipation for the future.
Li Yan took her and continued to search for prey nearby. He was almost always successful. He went and came back quickly every time and did not dare to leave Qianqian for too long.
Although his animal form is a caracal, he still has all the advantages of cats. His body is flexible and agile, his four claws are sharp, and he is particularly good at running and climbing.
By mid-afternoon, we had harvested two rabbits, three big birds and two bamboo rats.
A big bird, twice as big as a wild goose.
The sizes of these three animals are much larger than those of the animals in Qianqian’s previous world.
On the way back, Li Yan squatted by the river and dissected the prey, cut it into pieces, and put it in his personal space.
Qianqian sat on the big rock behind him to bask in the sun.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, a white shadow passed by.
"What animal?" He Qianqian exclaimed.
Li Yan was extremely alert. He turned around and held her in his arms, keeping a close eye on his surroundings.
"Did you see clearly?"
She replied: "I only saw a white afterimage that flashed by."
He Qianqian stared at the forest in front of her, wondering if she was dazzled.
"Let's go back quickly. We're very close to the tribe." After storing the prey and furs in the space, Li Yan carried her on his back and ran back.
Deep in the forest, a white shadow lurked behind a tree, watching the two people running as if staring at prey.
When they arrived at the edge of the tribe, He Qianqian went down to the fields and found some catnip and wild onions, which she picked up and took home to eat.
At this time, the hunting team had just returned and was removing the hair and cutting up the prey. This time they hunted a group of elk.
Many orcs saw the young couple and stared at their hands and empty animal bags. It seemed that they came back empty-handed.
Some people looked down on them, some ignored them, but most of them showed concern. After all, the six of them, Henai and his sons, were once among the most courageous warriors in the tribe, and their contributions deserved respect.
"Li Yan, you went out for a while, what prey did you catch?" asked a warrior who had a good relationship with He Nai.
"We caught two snow rabbits." Li Yan took out two rabbits whose fur was half-removed from the space and showed them to everyone.
"Very good, very good. Li Yan, work harder on practicing your hunting skills, show them to the clan leader later, and then join our hunting team." Someone in the hunting team started to make a noise and invited him enthusiastically.
Li Yue, who was cutting up the prey, looked up and looked at his male cub in surprise. The tribe leader beside him also laughed.
As the weather was getting colder, Li Yue was the only one in the hunting team, and the prey they were given might not be able to feed the three of them for the entire winter.
Charles was also worried about this family.
"Okay. I will come to challenge the second-level warriors of the hunting team in a while. If I can defeat five of them, I can join the hunting team." Li Yan readily followed suit and responded with a smile.
He had just been promoted to level two. Only if his strength was recognized by the clan leader could he join the hunting team. Hunting was even more dangerous and it would be easy to die if he was not strong enough.
In the hunting team, Lingye said nothing, his deep yellow pupils shrank slightly, the center of the pupil shrank into a black dot, and he stared at Qianqian, the female beside Li Yan.
