Chapter 523 - 262 Shadow Lottery Grand Meeting
The muzzle of sin protruded from the bushes, and after three seconds, a little rabbit met its tragic death on the spot.
This was a gentle slope of meadow, the size of a thousand acres, located between the primeval forest and the mountain ranges. Burrows were scattered all over the meadow, which was overrun by a plague of rabbits living there. Due to the backflow of rainwater, some rabbits were forced to leave their homeland; they either climbed up into the mountains or bounced around on the spot. Eating grass, soaked in rain, they enjoyed a carefree existence.
The area had also become Lin Wu’s hunting ground. In the span of one minute, four rabbits were cruelly killed on this land. Stepping out of the woods, Lin Wu started to skin and butcher the rabbits; from each rabbit, he harvested 0.5 kilograms of edible meat. After storing the rabbit skins and meat, Lin Wu returned to the shelter of the trees, sat down, set up his gun, and quietly waited.
The frightened rabbits no longer appeared in groups. After waiting for three minutes, one rabbit hopped from a hollow to higher ground. Lin Wu waited a while longer, and another rabbit appeared nearby. He decisively shot one, and the other rabbit, running faster than its own kind, quickly disappeared from Lin Wu’s view.
After retrieving the meat and returning to the forest, Lin Wu touched his forehead. Although he couldn’t feel anything unusual, he knew he must be coming down with something. At that moment, a leopard came down from the mountains and trotted to where the rabbit carcasses lay, looking around before starting to gnaw on the bones. Lin Wu didn’t spare it, immediately taking it down.
Having packed away three kilograms of leopard meat, Lin Wu began to retreat. Just as he was about to leave the plantation forest, he saw, five meters away, a black mamba coiled into the shape of feces, blending seamlessly with the surrounding dead branches and fallen leaves. Had it been Lin Wu of the past, he would have avoided it; he had no desire to deal with such a creature. But now, the black mamba was just a piece of meat in Lin Wu’s eyes.
Aiming his gun, Lin Wu delivered a headshot, then harvested 0.3 kilograms of snake meat.
Why is there so little animal meat? Little White Rabbit outlined three viewpoints. The first viewpoint: game system balance. How often can someone harvest pumpkins? If food was dealt with based on reality, no one would be willing to cultivate crops. Hence, a balance was struck between crops and wild beasts.
