Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 176: Giant Warships on the Sea

Lu Ke shot immediately, then finally saw clearly what kind of animal that shadow was.

A yellow animal, looking very much like a sheep but without horns.

Xu Yi also shot an arrow, then said somewhat surprised, "This seems to be a Mountain Antelope. This type of animal is supposed to live in rocky areas, how did it end up in the jungle?"

Xu Yi muttered something, looking at the Mountain Antelope.

After being hit by two arrows, the Mountain Antelope fell, panting heavily.

Xu Yi immediately walked to the edge of the fence and looked outside.

This Mountain Antelope appearing here was too sudden, Xu Yi thought this was very unusual.

Outside, there didn’t seem to be any animals chasing this Mountain Antelope.

Anyway, Xu Yi’s hearing, smell, and vision found no other animals.

Lu Ke didn’t make a sound, silently holding the short crossbow, warily looking around.

Xu Yi was clearly looking for prey, with an arrow nocked on the bowstring, ready to shoot at any moment.

After over ten minutes, Xu Yi retreated.

"There should be no other beasts, let’s deal with this Mountain Antelope that delivered itself to us first." Xu Yi said, then slung the Hunting Bow onto his back and took the Arrow Quiver to fix it on his waist.

Just in case, Xu Yi thought this was steadier.

Lu Ke also hung the short crossbow on herself, ready to act at any moment.

Next, Xu Yi dragged the Mountain Antelope to the water, directly sliced open its belly, and skinned it.

Xu Yi was constantly wondering if the Flying Giant Beast they saw yesterday had thrown the Mountain Antelope into the forest.

"Xu Yi, do you think it might be that Flying Giant Beast that dropped it?" Lu Ke also suspected this, after all, Xu Yi said the Mountain Antelope lives in rocky areas and shouldn’t be in the jungle.

Behind their camp were rock walls, but there were no Mountain Antelopes appearing there.

Besides, falling from such a height, it should be shattered to pieces, there’s no way it could jump over their nearly two-meter-high fence.

So, the possibility of it being dropped by the Flying Giant Beast was higher.

"There is that possibility, I suspect the same. However, after over ten minutes, there’s been no movement at all." Xu Yi, after peeling the skin, turned to glance towards the forest.

"Maybe it’s further away?" Lu Ke added.

"That’s possible too, so keep an eye on the sky. If it really comes, then we kill it. Maybe its meat would be pretty good." Xu Yi said flatly.

"Okay, if it comes, I’ll let it taste my short crossbow’s might." Lu Ke said calmly, since it’s not one of those fire-breathing beasts. As long as it’s flesh and blood, it can be injured, so there’s nothing to fear.

Even if captured, there’s still a chance to give up and retreat.

Thinking like this, there was really nothing to fear.

Remembering she hadn’t practiced her Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, Lu Ke got into position and started practicing.

However, throughout the process, she paid attention to the sky.

Not being afraid doesn’t mean not being cautious.

"Xu Yi’s getting cocky, thinking he can kill the Flying Giant Beast."

"If that Flying Giant Beast could use airdrops, then...not many teams could survive, right, so it probably isn’t going to happen, I must be overthinking."

"Lu Ke’s mental strength is really strong now, she can calmly practice the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening at a time like this?"

"If her mental strength wasn’t strong, could she have lasted until now? Look at the other teams, aren’t they all like Lu Ke."

"If there’s really a Flying Giant Beast around, they are still very dangerous."

"If they could tame it, then they’d be amazing, a flying mount, they’d be secure for 500 days."

"Haha, the organizers probably aren’t stupid; how could they allow such a thing to happen."

In the live stream, everyone was discussing the Flying Giant Beast. After all, they had never seen one, so they were all the more curious.

"Want grilled meat, or stewed meat?" Xu Yi asked, since with such a Mountain Antelope, they could cook it however they liked.

In this scorching weather, it wouldn’t keep for a day, but cooking it for lunch was fine. In the evening, they’d likely have to settle for jerky.

"Grilled meat, and then stew two pots for our lunch." Lu Ke gave her answer.

"Alright." Xu Yi smiled faintly, Lu Ke thought the same as him.

No need to choose, have both, isn’t that nice?

After the two had grilled a leg, they were drenched in sweat.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, really doesn’t let anyone live comfortably." Lu Ke wiped off some sweat and said somewhat helplessly. They were under the shelter and not being directly hit by the sun, or it would have been even hotter.

"Yeah, it’s only just past nine." Xu Yi said, then removed his clothing.

"Do you have any plans today?" Lu Ke felt that in this hot weather, staying in the camp would be more comfortable.

"Handle the flax, with this heat, I don’t feel like going out." Xu Yi replied, preparing to wash his face and cool off a bit.

It wasn’t just Xu Yi who didn’t want to go out, more than half the team members from other groups were planning to stay in their own camps.

This strange weather made them feel like something big was going to happen.

These groups had one thing in common, relatively plentiful food reserves, enough to survive several days without hunting.

In the camp, Lu Ke continued making paper, yesterday’s pulp hadn’t been finished, and with half a day today, she could wrap it all up.

Xu Yi was stripping flax fibers, bare-chested. Even his vest couldn’t be worn.

"Xu Yi, should it be around 40 degrees, why is it so hot?" Lu Ke drank a sip of water and then handed it to Xu Yi.

In such hot weather, there’s no way to leave, right?

If going out, they would need to carry a lot of water, or they’d quickly dehydrate.

"I don’t know, maybe something is happening that we don’t know about. Judging by the island’s plant situation, it shouldn’t be like this." Xu Yi glanced at the sky outside, feeling it was abnormal.

The day-night temperature difference was too big for such lush vegetation to grow.

At this time, in the sea beyond the island, a dozen giant ships were anchored.

They seemed to be undertaking some kind of operation.

Just then, a Flying Giant Beast attempted to fly out of the island, to explore a broader world. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

But just after flying away from the island, it instantly turned into a mist of blood, as if torn apart by an invisible force.

Vaguely, a large hole appeared in the sky there.

These giant ships seemed to be repairing this hole.

Hours later, these giant ships disappeared in an instant.

Before vanishing, they left behind a dozen bright lights.

"Xu Yi, was there something flashing just now?" Lu Ke sensed something and couldn’t help but look at the sky.

Xu Yi nodded, also looking puzzled.
