Another new day.
Wang Wu's satiety once again returned to zero, but his Life Value had successfully been restored to full, even the fur that had been burned off before had regrown, shiny and sleek.
Maybe it was an illusion, but he felt he had grown a bit, and his strength seemed to have increased slightly, although there was no reflection of this in the attribute bar.
However, he had indeed grown a bit, his Growth had now reached 13.2%, including Level 5 Concealment and Level 2 Self-Healing, which was his harvest over this period of time.
"Today I need to snatch some Spiritual Qi, but there's no need to pursue a complete Silver Three Minutes, berries still need to be eaten."
As many insects and small animals cautiously and slowly began moving towards the foot of the mountain, welcoming the daily blessing of sunlight, Wang Wu sneakily blended in among them, pretending to be an honest and simple Little Dog Bear...
What he hadn't anticipated at all was that just as he emerged from the bushes and released the Level 5 Concealment State, he hadn't run more than ten steps when a chilling murderous aura had already locked onto him from afar.
Very eerie, and quite magical.
This murderous aura is way too intense!
No, it's not like that, it's that the level of this murderous aura is too low, which is why it was detected by his Level 1 Danger Perception Talent. Otherwise, if it were that Black Snake Priest, no, in fact, even the murderous aura of the Black Snake Assassin he wouldn't have sensed, completely repressed.
At this moment, two lines of information flashed by quickly.
Sure enough, when the level is too low, the speed of information scanning flies up.
"You have been targeted with a bounty!"
"You have been discovered and surrounded by the famous Bounty Hunter team, the Valley Four Heroes, which consists of the Master of Iron Cloth Shirt and Porcupine, the Grass-Flying Spider Ranger, the Great Blade Iron Mantis Warrior, Great Blade Iron Mantis Warrior +1..."
—
Damn Valley Four Heroes, damn Bounty Hunters, do you little demons have a miniature social organization?
Wang Wu hesitated slightly, as the grass ahead suddenly violently parted, a black, spiky ball appeared, okay, it was a black hedgehog as big as a soccer ball, rolling crazily towards him like a round, chubby pig.
But at this speed, Wang Wu didn't care at all, he could easily dodge...
"Damn! Despicable!"
Wang Wu cursed out loud, because at this very moment, a spider suddenly jumped out from the grass behind him, yes, a kind of jumping spider, but slightly larger, comparable to a toad, and it shot several strands of web binding one of Wang Wu's legs to the ground.
He shook desperately, barely breaking free, but didn't expect that in that moment, the Iron Porcupine had already rammed into his belly, causing him to howl in pain, nearly rendering him infertile.
And this guy's spikes were way too hard.
"You have been attacked by the Master of Iron Cloth Shirt and Porcupine, 5 Life Value deducted, you are bleeding, 1 point per second, lasting for 15 seconds!"
"Damn!"
Wang Wu launched a claw, kicking the porcupine away, but instantly howled in pain himself, with over a dozen bloody holes spurting out blood.
This thing is too wicked.
But it wasn't over yet, the next second, with two clicks, accompanied by metallic scrapes, two mantises as big as mice, entirely iron black, leapt from the grass in rapid succession, their four ten-centimeters-long mantis blades slashing swiftly towards him.
The momentum, the murderous intent, the posture, somewhat capturing the essence of Yagyu One-Slash.
Wang Wu didn't even have time to dodge, getting hit with all of them, nearly having his bones chopped through.
Four slashes, -40 points Life!
F*ck!
Wang Wu swung back a claw on one Iron Mantis, only to find this guy was as hard as stone, not only not shattering it, but also numbing himself!
But it's okay, if one claw doesn't work then make it two.
On the second try, he managed to smash the Iron Mantis.
However, the second Iron Mantis seized the chance for a neat Helical Slash, adding two more cuts to him.
Motherf*cker, within such a short time, 70 points of Life were gone.
"Roar!"
Wang Wu growled lowly, with furious claws, killed the second Iron Mantis, turning around, good grief, the other two Heroes of the Valley Four Heroes, Master of Iron Cloth Shirt and Porcupine, and Grass-Flying Spider had disappeared without a trace.
F*cking hell!
What kind of situation is this!
There's no past enmity nor recent grievance with you...
Cursing in his heart, Wang Wu dared not be careless, grabbed the corpses of the two Iron Mantises, and started munching. And truth to tell, they were quite chewy, like eating dried beef.
Quite delicious, actually.
One Iron Mantis down, it directly filled him with 50 points of Satiety, plus 5 points of Spiritual Qi.
This is good stuff, far more refined than regular Wandering Mantis Blade Master.
Thus, Wang Wu immediately kept the other Iron Mantis's body for later, it could be carried as dry rations, with no worry of rotting.
After that, he didn't go sunbathing, there was no time for that, he hurried to the creek, drank water, stole berries, and also slaughtered a Gray Mouse Knight, it's said that mice breed, but such a formidable Gray Mouse Knight can't be easy to raise, right?
One kill per day, let's see if you have enough strength to hunt me down?
Finally, Wang Wu also packed over a dozen berries and hurried in another direction, found a suitable bush, and once three seconds of silence passed, Level 5 Concealment activated.
Another idle day.
Then, as expected, today another White Rat appeared menacingly in Berry Plain, once again a fruitless search.
It seems Wang Wu's existence really shook their Rat Country's rule, huh?
But, who knows what strategy the White Rat adopted today, after enduring the scorching sun, at dusk, a group of Gray Mouse Knights brought over a giant leaf along the creek, sparsely scattered with more than a dozen berries, placing it in the direction where Wang Wu disappeared earlier in the morning.
Then, the Gray Mice made a uniform strange gesture, and left in succession.
Could they actually want to make peace?
Are they bribing me?
Wang Wu was dumbfounded, finally confirming that these little demons really had social intelligence, interacting just like human society.
Look, look, they too believe cooperation surpasses conflict, cooperation leads to mutual success, right?
For a moment, Wang Wu truly wanted to rush out and enjoy this feast.
But he was afraid of ambushes.
Yet this is by the creek, wide open spaces, his Life Value is fully restored now, and after eating that Iron Mantis, his Satiety still had 230 points, so at worst, he'd just dive back into the bushes.
"Could it be that those White Rats are just hiding on the side?"
A thought flashed through Wang Wu's mind, and he immediately shrank back, no need, not worth it, everything has to be cautious.
Let it be, just pretend not to see.
A long night passed, when the sky was just breaking with light, in the new day's arrival, Wang Wu emerged from the bushes again, only to see the berries on that leaf from yesterday already disappeared, whether they were reclaimed or eaten by other insects, he didn't know.
Wang Wu didn't think much of it, he didn't trust the so-called goodwill of the Gray Mice anyway, taking a roundabout way, he started moving towards the cliff, he had to go sunbathe and gather Spiritual Qi.
Of course, necessary vigilance was still required, he had to be on the lookout for any sudden reappearance of something like the Valley Four Heroes, or the Bush Eight Steeds.
But as it turned out, unexpectedly to him, the journey was quite smooth, occasionally running into some Gray Mouse Knights, who didn't scream, but instead immediately posed in that strange stance from yesterday.
So has the Gray Rat Race really conceded?
Wang Wu was half-believing, half-doubting.
