"boom!"
A slight gunshot rang out.
Another steel needle, completely invisible to the naked eye, shot into a tree trunk thirty meters away.
'It's a full ten centimeters away from the center point...'
Cen Xi frowned and thought for a long time, summing up his experience.
The marksmanship that you have practiced with perfect accuracy in the past, now you have to become proficient at this distance again after extending the shooting range.
He had been able to hit the target within fifteen meters before.
But now that the target is suddenly increased to more than thirty meters, it will be difficult to hit again.
Out of ten times, only one or two hits the bullseye.
The rest of the times, almost all of them were hit ten centimeters away.
Although the accuracy was very high, he was not satisfied.
Because in a real battle, even a centimeter mistake may determine life or death.
After thinking for half a minute, Cen Xi was about to continue shooting, but suddenly saw Chang Feng walking towards this side carrying an animal skin bag.
He immediately put away the steel needle pistol, raised the skylight manhole cover and walked down.
"Brother Cen Xi, Sister Mingyue and the others are back. They got a lot of good things from the transaction. They also brought some fruits specially for you. I wonder if they are to your liking."
Chang Feng enthusiastically handed the animal skin bag to Cen Xi and said gratefully: "Thank you very much. If you hadn't taken action, the consequences would have been disastrous if you had not taken action and allowed those two people to break into the gathering place."
"You're welcome, I'm also a member of the gathering place, and I happened to encounter him. If I don't take action, he will die. I'm just protecting myself."
Cen Xi curiously took a look at the animal skin bag and found that it contained a wild fruit similar to persimmon. She didn't know how it tasted.
"But no matter what, you helped repel the enemy. This is a fact. Sister Mingyue said that people with merit should not be wronged. No, she specifically asked me to bring you these fruits."
Chang Feng said with some envy: "Our forest does not seem to produce fruit. Of course, it may have been picked by the Fire Tribe. These fruits were traded from the gathering place next door. You should know that in a place like this, fruits In a way, it’s more expensive than meat.”
Cen Xi nodded, it was indeed true.
Things are more valuable when they are scarce, and it also depends on demand.
Especially when there is no currency, whether it is expensive or not depends on demand.
Just like before, some people may think that he is too stupid to exchange four parts of slime condensation for a stone that glows at night.
But in his opinion, he made a profit, because he couldn't use the slime condensation at the moment, and he didn't have time to go to the camp next door ten kilometers ago to make a deal.
But the luminous stone allows you to work better at night. This is the most valuable thing.
Others may make money, but you will never lose money.
"correct……"
Suddenly Chang Feng said: "Sister Mingyue said that we are likely to fight with the Fire Tribe and need to prepare supplies in advance, but you also know that we have nothing at the gathering place and can only exchange with the gathering place next door."
He changed the topic without leaving a trace, while observing Cen Xi's face, and seeing that Cen Xi had no strange expression, he continued: "And that gathering place only needs slime condensation, so..."
Going to war?
"I see."
Cen Xi nodded solemnly: "I will pay off those slime condensations as soon as possible. Can I ask when the war will start?"
"This is unpredictable. We are too passive and can only wait for the Fire Tribe to take the initiative to attack."
Chang Feng said: "Now we have almost figured it out. The reason why the Fire Tribe is so hostile to us is because we occupy the most convenient location to get water."
He showed a helpless expression: "And when we are here, we naturally have to compete with the Fire Tribe for survival resources, so this battle is almost inevitable. We can only prepare in advance."
Occupy water access and survival resources?
Cen Xi suddenly realized that this was the case.
No wonder the people of the Fire Tribe were like mad dogs, killing outsiders like them whenever they saw them.
"I know, I'll wait..."
His tone was hesitant, because if he wanted to kill the slime, he would have to stay away from the tree house.
Chang Feng knew what he was worried about and said with a smile: "Sister Mingyue has already ordered that your tree house be connected with the gathering place and included in the patrol area, so you don't have to worry about Miss Gao's safety at all. When you are away, We will focus on patrolling this area."
"Miss Cai is so thoughtful, thank you very much."
Cen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he could go hunting with peace of mind.
"this is necessary."
Chang Feng smiled and said, "Do you need me to find someone to guide you?"
"That's not necessary, but you'd better tell me the slime's range of activities." Cen Xi said.
"This one is easy to find. Walking along the river, you can basically see a group every few hundred meters."
Chang Feng said: "There are too many of them, and they also have long-range attack methods. We have tried throwing spears before, but unfortunately the wooden spears cannot break the defense at all and will be intercepted midway."
The bubbles spat out by water slimes can have a bomb-like effect. It is not difficult to intercept wooden spears.
"So many? Haven't you tried killing them before? Those slimes seem to be easy to tempt." Cen Xi asked.
"Of course I have. How could I not? Otherwise, how would we know about slime condensation?"
Chang Feng said: "However, that kind of creature can only be killed by Sister Mingyue's long-range spear throwing, and it is difficult to find opportunities, because those kinds of creatures almost always move in groups and are never alone. We have tried using wood to kill them. The bow attacks, but the quality of the wooden bow we made is too poor to break the defense."
Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional: "The group of slimes you killed originally had more than 40 slimes. In the past month or so, Sister Mingyue has killed many of them."
Cen Xi suddenly realized.
"Can you see it by walking along the river? I understand."
He nodded slightly.
After Chang Feng left, he returned to the balcony of the tree house with the animal skin bag.
Gao Wanyi had already come out of the tree house, with a worried look on her pretty face: "Are you leaving? Remember to be careful."
Her worries are genuine, because now she needs Cen Xi's protection.
Without Cen Xi's protection, she would not be able to eat and drink as well as she is now, and even her life might be threatened.
"I will, thank you sister Wanyi for your concern."
Cen Xi handed over the animal skin bag and said with a smile: "There are wild fruits in it. You said before that you knew how to simply test whether it is edible, so I would like you to check it. I will be back before dark."
"Well, be sure to come back safely. I'll have delicious food waiting for you." Gao Wanyi warned.
"Don't worry. When I'm not here, be sure to lock the skylight door. If anyone comes, don't open the door."
Cen Xi smiled slightly, then brought enough steel needles and an empty barrel down to the tree house platform.
The reason why he brought the empty barrel was naturally to contain the slime condensate.
At this time, someone in the distance had already begun to clean the rotten leaf layer, apparently preparing to open up this side to facilitate patrols.
Cen Xi didn't stop, took out the steel needle pistol and walked towards the river beach.
Soon, the silver-white river beach is in sight.
Just after walking out of the forest, a charging bird suddenly shot out.
Because it was too sudden, Cen Xi was startled and hurriedly raised his gun and shot.
"boom!"
The head of the fearless charging bird was blown off, and it flew backwards and fell to the beach.
The original steel needle pistol couldn't even kill such a small bird.
But now it is a level six steel needle pistol, and if you hit such a small bird, it will be a headshot.
"Damn, it scared me, but it's a good start."
Cen Xi didn't mind it either. He walked over and picked up the headless Charge Bird body and put it into the barrel.
"Chirp chirp..."
Suddenly there was a dense sound of birds chirping overhead.
He hurriedly looked up and saw four or five more Charge Birds swooping over, and hurriedly fired again.
"boom!"
The fastest one had its head blown off.
The speed of the other charging birds did not slow down, and they had no idea what fear was.
He hurriedly retreated into the forest while continuing to shoot.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang..."
Amidst the successive slight gunshots, the charging birds that swooped down like sharp arrows were shot in the head one after another.
This kind of bird seems to have no fear of death at all. The death of its own kind not only does not frighten them, but also stimulates their ferocity.
Unfortunately, in the face of hot weapons, their bravery is meaningless.
Soon, the last charging bird was hit in the head three meters away.
"Does this bird belong to Brother Flathead?"
Cen Xi was speechless and happily picked up all the carcasses of these charging birds, and then carefully observed the sky.
