Chapter 401 Heading to the Mountains Again
However, Wang Jianguo didn't care, his expression remained calm. He paused slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the two of them and explained:
"You know, we've been living a simple life these days, and we haven't had meat for a long time. I'm really craving for it."
"Fortunately, we now have bicycles, which makes travel much more convenient. I thought of taking advantage of this convenience to go to the mountains to hunt some game and bring it back to improve our meals."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of anticipation for the delicious food, as if he had already seen the plump prey in the mountains and the sumptuous dishes that were about to appear on the table.
When Zhao Shuzhuo heard that Wang Jianguo planned to go into the mountains to hunt alone, a look of worry immediately appeared on his face.
He frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern, and said to Wang Jianguo hurriedly:
"Jianguo, you also know that the situation in the mountains is complicated. Not only are there wild beasts, but the terrain is also dangerous. It is really unsafe to go there alone."
"Can you go by yourself? I always feel uneasy. How about I go with you? It would be good to have someone to take care of you."
Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo's worried face, raised his lips slightly, revealed a comforting smile, shook his head gently, and explained patiently:
"How can that be possible? If both of us are not in the village, what if the supply and marketing cooperative needs to receive or count goods?"
"The production team happens to have urgent matters to deal with, and when the time comes, we won't be able to find someone who can make decisions and take charge, and that will be chaos."
"You have high prestige in the village and you are calm and steady. Everyone trusts you. You have to stay in the village. It's no problem for me to go into the mountains alone, so don't worry."
After listening to Wang Jianguo's words, Zhao Shuzhuo lowered his head and thought for a moment, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Although I was still worried about Wang Jianguo going into the mountains alone, I also understood that what he said made sense.
So he raised his head, stared at Wang Jianguo closely, and said earnestly:
"Then you must be careful about your safety and don't try to be brave. If you encounter any danger, run back immediately."
"Never take risks just for hunting, after all, safety is the most important thing."
Wang Jianguo nodded solemnly and firmly, and his serious look seemed as if he was making an extremely important promise.
After finishing his meal, he lost no time, strode towards his bicycle, and rode towards the mountains.
Along the way, the breeze caressed his face and the scenery along the road passed by quickly like a slide show.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he quickly scanned the surroundings.
Finally, we found the ideal place in a hidden corner with lush vegetation and huge rocks. Here, vines grew wildly, like a natural barrier, hiding everything behind them.
Wang Jianguo carefully pushed the bicycle here and carefully camouflaged it with surrounding branches and fallen leaves to ensure that it would not be easily discovered.
Although this bicycle is only worth a few hundred dollars, Wang Jianguo might not care too much about it on a normal day.
However, in this special year of extreme material scarcity, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy what you need.
Any item is so precious that it cannot be neglected or neglected. We have to cherish it doubly.
After placing his bicycle, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and strode resolutely towards the mountains.
The road under his feet was rugged and covered with gravel and dead branches, but his steps were steady and powerful, and his eyes revealed a determination to explore the unknown.
He shuttled through the dense woods, branches and leaves brushed against him, making rustling sounds. After a long time, he stepped into a mysterious area that he had never set foot in.
It is so quiet here that it seems isolated from the world. Ancient trees stand tall and the sunlight can only shine through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows.
Wang Jianguo was not in a hurry to look for traces of prey. He knew very well that this unspoiled pure land contained something more precious - abundant spiritual power.
He slowly stopped and stood in an open space. He closed his eyes with a peaceful look, concentrated all his energy and thoughts, and activated the mysterious system.
In an instant, he seemed to have merged with the forest and could sense the wisps of free spiritual energy in the surrounding air.
They were like lively elves, slowly gathering towards him.
Time passes quietly in this quiet forest, and every minute and every second is accompanied by a continuous influx of spiritual power.
Wang Jianguo was immersed in this wonderful process and forgot all the disturbances in the outside world.
It was not until a long time later that he slowly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise and shock that was difficult to conceal.
He couldn't wait to check the data in the system. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. As soon as he looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp.
He saw that the progress of collecting spiritual energy had reached 60%! This number far exceeded his expectations.
He thought to himself that this uninhabited place really did hide huge surprises and opportunities.
Perhaps this will be the key to his counterattack and breakthrough in this special world.
Wang Jianguo frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and alertness. He keenly realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
In his opinion, it would be impossible for the spiritual power contained in the ordinary flowers, plants and trees in this area to reach such an abundant level.
There must be some special reason behind this, and he already had a bold guess in his mind - there must be a large ferocious beast living here.
Moreover, he could conclude that this was definitely not the tiger he had encountered by chance last time.
The tiger named An An had been successfully tamed by him after an encounter with him before.
According to common sense, it is impossible for it to release such a large amount of spiritual power again in a short period of time.
Wang Jianguo's expression became solemn. He knew very well that there might be unknown dangers and variables hidden behind this.
However, he also clearly realized that since he had absorbed the spiritual power here, he had to follow the rules of the system.
No matter what kind of ferocious beast it is, as long as its spiritual power is absorbed by oneself, it is equivalent to being tamed. In theory, it will not cause any substantial harm to oneself.
Thinking of this, his originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and his courage gradually grew. He slowly raised his head and began to carefully explore the surroundings with a determined look.
The surrounding woods seemed increasingly deep and mysterious, and the silence was so unsettling.
Wang Jianguo took steps carefully, trying not to make any sound with each step, and his eyes were like searchlights, not missing any corner.
