Chapter 588 - 288 Hunting_2
The Night Moon Base rarely went hunting, the most important reason being the lack of bullets, and they also lacked weaponry like the Sniper Crossbow. Light crossbows such as the Rapid-Fire Crossbow had difficulty causing harm to animals, as even a shot to the head could not penetrate the skull. This was because the hardness of the skulls of fierce animals like tigers and lions was several times higher than that of humans.
Lin Wu prepared for every target with two options in mind; if he could assassinate with a steak knife he would go for it, if not, he would resort to using a pistol.
As he approached the hunting grounds, the first thing Lin Wu saw was a berry bush being devoured by a massive brown bear. How massive? By his estimate, it was around 600 kilograms, twice the size of the black bears commonly seen in Left County and North Town. Each movement of the bear caused its muscles and skin to ripple like waves.
Lin Wu instructed Wai to wait where it was, then drew his steak knife and stealthily moved towards the brown bear. Why was Lin Wu so courageous in the face of a brown bear even larger than a black bear? There was scientific evidence for this. Black bears were lighter and smaller, with a higher degree of Agility, giving Lin Wu no advantage in attributes. On the other hand, though the brown bear was stronger, it was less agile due to its weight.
Having come into close contact with Titans many times, Lin Wu was not afraid of large animals. What he feared were animals that possessed both strength and Agility. For example, Frenzy had enough Agility but not enough strength, with weak skulls and predictable behavior, so to Lin Wu, Frenzy was just an appetizer. This brown bear, at most, was a mid-sized dish.
Lin Wu leaped up from behind the bear, one hand bracing against its back, while the hand holding the steak knife precisely stabbed into the top of the bear’s skull. The brown bear froze in place as if jammed. Two seconds later, the gigantic creature collapsed to the ground with a thunderous fall.
After skinning and butchering, he obtained 30 kilograms of bear meat, one 5-kilogram bear paw, and a perfect bear hide.
This resource was unbelievably good! Looking around, he saw wild sheep, water buffalo, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, and packs of lions. The contrast was like some places at the seaside where there was not even marine life, while other areas overflowed with lobsters and all kinds of precious fish.
