Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 256: Leopards Blocking the Path

When the fishing net was thrown out, Xu Yi also rushed forward.

After all, the net was woven from hemp rope, and Xu Yi was worried it might not be strong enough.

In the distance, Lu Ke had been observing. As soon as she saw Xu Yi dash out, she immediately charged out to help him.

The fishing net successfully caught two reindeer, but it did not snag their antlers, so they quickly wriggled out of the net.

However, Xu Yi was quick and managed to grab one by the hind leg.

Originally, Xu Yi just intended to pull it back with force. As a result, with one tug, he directly yanked the reindeer into the air, and it slammed straight into a tree.

"Xu Yi is so strong, I feel like he could fling the reindeer into the air."

"It seems like the reindeer’s waist might have broken, Xu Yi is too violent."

"I get the feeling that Xu Yi himself didn’t realize his own strength, just look at his expression."

Lu Ke quickly rushed over, pinned down the reindeer that had crashed into the tree, and grabbed its antlers to prevent it from moving.

"Xu Yi, the rope." Saying this, Lu Ke took out the hemp rope from her backpack with one hand and tossed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi caught the rope, untangled the fishing net, and started to secure the reindeer with a rope loop.

Once bound, Xu Yi tied it up.

Then, Xu Yi took out another rope and walked up to Lu Ke, starting to secure this reindeer with a rope loop.

Lu Ke saw Xu Yi had secured it, let go of the reindeer, and stood up, clapping the dust off her hands.

"We’re quite lucky, catching two at once. Now we’re set, we have mounts." Lu Ke said happily, thinking that with mounts, she and Xu Yi could explore further afield and possibly secure more resources, which made her especially happy.

"Catching them doesn’t necessarily mean they can be turned into mounts. But we can tame them gradually, after all, we can afford to keep herbivores." Xu Yi believed that since he had Taming Skills, he could definitely tame them. It was just a matter of time, whether it be days or even dozens of days, it was no problem.

After all, they still had over 400 days remaining.

Of course, if Xu Yi knew they had to relocate in 100 days, he wouldn’t have bothered with all this.

"Hmm, I believe you can do it." Saying this, Lu Ke gave Xu Yi a sweet smile.

"Don’t say that, you’re making me feel a bit nervous, what if I don’t succeed, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?" Xu Yi joked, taking a look at the two reindeer.

The two reindeer were trying to use their antlers to attack him and Lu Ke, but were restrained by the hemp rope.

"No, I trust my intuition, you can definitely do it." Lu Ke said firmly.

Xu Yi scratched his nose, not expecting Lu Ke to have such confidence in him.

"Okay, I will definitely tame them." Xu Yi said confidently, then turned to glance at the trampled strawberry patch.

The two of them harvested the remaining ripe strawberries, totaling less than ten pounds.

Luckily, not many strawberry plants were destroyed, so they could come back to pick strawberries next time.

After picking the strawberries, the two of them dragged the reindeer back to the camp.

The reindeer here were quite wild; when Lu Ke first approached, she almost got gouged by their antlers.

They possessed great strength. If they were to strike someone, it could cause injury or even pierce through the body.

In the end, Xu Yi slapped one, then handed it over to Lu Ke by grabbing its antlers.

On the way, the two reindeer were not well-behaved, repeatedly trying to attack Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

Xu Yi taught Lu Ke only one word: hit.

This way, the wildness of the reindeer could be gradually tamed.

Usually, it would take half an hour to reach the camp from the strawberry patch, but because of the two reindeer, it took them over forty minutes.

Back at the camp, Xu Yi immediately tied up the reindeer.

However, he did not tie them inside the enclosure, but outside.

Inside, there was already a big white dog; adding two reindeer would make it crowded.

Moreover, the antlers of the reindeer took up a lot of space.

Xu Yi even tied them separately.

"We need to build a deer pen, otherwise if a beast comes, they’ll be attacked." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, planning to cut some small trees while Lu Ke dug holes, so he could bury them directly after carrying the trees back.

Lu Ke accepted Xu Yi’s arrangement and started digging at the spot Xu Yi specified.

Xu Yi went to cut trees on his own. Although he couldn’t carry many at once, his speed was fast, and in about two hours, he could make two trips, or three if necessary.

After all, each small tree could be split in two, and a bundle contained at least 30 sticks.

Xu Yi only brought a machete, not even a Hunting Bow, as it was inconvenient to carry while hauling things back.

To save time, Xu Yi sprinted all the way there.

Originally a journey of nearly an hour, Xu Yi made it in just half an hour.

Xu Yi no longer needed to watch out for Giant Emus in the sky, and just chopped down rows of small trees, trimming branches and piling them together.

First, he cut down all the small trees before carrying them back in batches.

So, Xu Yi cut down 100 trees, preparing enough for three trips.

If the last trip wasn’t made, he could come back next time to carry them.

As more animals showed up, they might need to expand the deer pen.

In the end, Xu Yi bundled thirty-three small trees together.

After hoisting them up, he found it not strenuous at all.

Being determined, he increased it to fifty.

Yet Xu Yi discovered he could indeed carry them.

"This strength, surely no human could achieve it?"

"This bundle must weigh five to six hundred pounds. Xu Yi is terrifying, is he even human?"

"When did his strength grow so massive? Is everyone like this, or is it just him?"

"I feel everyone’s similar; I’ve seen in Livestream Channel 1 those two guys carried back a whole wild buffalo, over a thousand pounds."

"This planet really stirs envy, I wish I could experience it myself now."

Xu Yi, although somewhat surprised by his strength, quickly accepted it.

After all, everyone was getting stronger, maybe his enhanced doses gave him that extra edge.

Halfway down the route, Xu Yi heard some noises and immediately halted.

Two leopards appeared within Xu Yi’s sight.

Clearly, they had marked Xu Yi as their prey.

Xu Yi drew out his machete, prepared to confront the two leopards head-on.
