"Ouch! Holy crap! This mushroom exploded!"
"No...something's wrong...it's so itchy! Oh my god! It's killing me with this itch!"
From the riverbank came the fisherman's mournful cries.
Because human hands are more dexterous than tiger claws, the fisherman easily picked the mushrooms without damaging their caps.
But after washing the mushrooms, he planned to cut a cross on them so that they would heat up more evenly when grilling.
Unexpectedly, the mushroom exploded.
Woohoo...
The husky whimpered and dodged the exploding smoke and dust, not daring to get too close to its owner.
Fortunately, the impact of this thing was not large; only the fisherman was affected, and it did not affect Cang Nian's family.
"After traveling such a long way, don't we know that things that posed no threat before might not be safe after the spiritual energy revival?"
Cang Nian, who was not far away, looked on with a hint of schadenfreude.
However, this is just a small episode.
Seeing his brother Hu devouring meat, Cangnian immediately began to eat as well.
[Ding! 1kg of evolved meat consumed, Meat-eating skill proficiency +10! (115/10000)]
After a few bites of meat, a system notification sounded in Cang Nian's mind.
"So... in fact, only when the quality of the flesh reaches ten times that of ordinary flesh can it be considered to have truly entered the ranks of evolution?"
It seems that the previous male wild boar was indeed not far from true evolution.
Cang Nian ate while pondering.
The system can determine the evolutionary level of food by using the skill of eating meat.
As for that deer, Cangnian remembered seeing its herd when he was patrolling the territory before.
But at the time, no particularly robust individuals were observed.
Therefore, this guy must have evolved directly during yesterday's spiritual energy revival tide.
This is why it was resolved so easily by the tiger dad.
Tiger Dad had already shown signs of evolution during the spiritual energy revival tide.
Having undergone the baptism of the spiritual energy revival tide, its evolution level is much higher than that of the deer.
Whether in terms of race, level of evolution, or even superpowers, it was inferior to Tiger Dad. The deer was quickly dealt with without any surprise.
Soon, after consuming several kilograms of evolved meat, Cang Nian's meat-eating skill proficiency had increased to two hundred.
"It will probably take several more days to re-explore this territory."
My current sleep skills have skipped the initial sleep aid and gone straight to deep sleep.
Therefore, I need very little sleep each day. Since I need to patrol my territory during the day, I'll spend some time exercising in the evening.
After eating and drinking his fill, Cang Nian got up to exercise.
Although I have the [Numerical Master] ability, it's still a bit of a waste for now.
Therefore, improving my proficiency in all the skills within the system remains my top priority.
"Ouch... Ouch... Pipi, why am I so unlucky... Even picking mushrooms has become such a nightmare."
Pipi, do you think we can still go home? I feel like if we keep walking towards Kangcheng like this, I'm sure I'll die.
Why don't you run home first, Pipi, and let my dad send someone to pick me up?
Finally, the fisherman, having endured the torment of the exploding mushroom's itching, lay on the ground and muttered to himself.
Woo~!
Hearing the fisherman's words, the husky took two steps back, whimpering and shaking its head.
No!
Clearly, the husky knew that the journey would be extremely dangerous; it was just a small dog, and if it ran back alone, it would surely die.
"Forget it, whatever happens in the future, let's fill our stomachs first."
The fisherman rallied, got up, and used his dagger to slice the meat Tiger Dad had given him, placing it on a clean, thin stone slab for later use.
Tiger Dad is never stingy with his gratitude to those who have saved his life, so he gave the fisherman a good amount of meat, more than ten kilograms, enough for him to eat for a long time.
Huh~!
Then, the fisherman took out a lighter from his pocket and started a fire to grill the meat.
"Ow~!"
After taking a quick look, Cangnian called out to the Black King Serpent.
Sha sha...
Hearing Cangnian's call, the Black King Serpent's massive body swam over.
"Holy crap!"
Only then did the fisherman realize that there was such a huge snake here!
But neither Cang Nian nor the Black King Serpent paid any attention to his surprise.
Upon arriving at the foot of the waterfall, Cangnian began to kill the fish.
All things considered, killing fish is the best way to improve your slaughtering skills.
Incidentally, it can also help the black king snake hunt enough food.
The Black King Snake's special ability is to devour and increase its size; as long as there is enough food, it can easily grow to its full size.
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +1! (5001/10000)]
The previous spiritual energy revival tide raised all of Cangnian's skills below the third rank to the third rank, and the proficiency of the third-rank skills was also greatly improved.
The Slaughter skill, being a Tier 3 skill, saw a significant increase in proficiency, leaving only half the time until evolution.
"It's a complete evolution; even the fish in the river have grown much bigger."
Most of the ones I encountered before were only three or four kilograms, but now they are at least five kilograms or more, and some are even ten kilograms.
"Now this black king snake shouldn't go hungry."
The increase in the size of fish in the river is also quite noticeable.
However, with Cangnian's speed and hunting skills, no matter how big the fish was, it couldn't escape being killed by his claw.
The black king snake knew that Cangnian was hunting for it, so it mostly stayed at the bottom of the water. When it saw Cangnian kill a fish, it nimbly swallowed it.
It is large in size, and even fish weighing more than ten kilograms can be swallowed by it without much effort and very smoothly.
Plop~!
Just as Cangnian was in the middle of killing the fish, a loud splash came from below the waterfall.
"What happened? Did something big fall down?"
A question arose in Cang Nian's mind.
But the next second, Cangnian felt as if he had been punched in the chest, the force of which was so strong that he almost couldn't hold his breath.
However, in his underwater vision, he did not notice anything approaching him or launching an attack.
Whoosh~!
Immediately afterward, another heavy blow struck Cang Nian, this time hitting his arm!
Immediately, Cangnian looked in the direction from which the attack was coming.
There was a huge fish there, its mouth agape, staring at me.
Suddenly, the giant fish's mouth snapped shut, and Cang Nian immediately felt the attack coming again, this time aimed at his forehead!
Feeling as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer, Cang Nian was also aroused in anger.
Whoosh~!
His figure transformed into a sharp arrow, darting through the water at incredible speed, and hurtling towards the giant fish!
