Chapter 3 Hunting Records
With his keen sense of smell, Tang Zhao searched for the faint smell of blood in the air, and found the place where the hunters were attacked before.

The distance between the two places may not be far, only a few hundred meters. Tang Zhao took the time to search the bloody scene and found something he could use.

A few copper coins with the head of the sword-bearer printed on them, two blunt hunting knives, and finally some accessories such as rings and necklaces.

Tang Zhao knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he wrapped them all up with a half-torn leather vest, and left with them in his mouth.

From the previous map, I learned the location of nearby water sources, but Tang Zhao did not choose those places to live temporarily, but deliberately avoided those places and moved deeper into the forest.

The reason is also very simple - now he can't afford to provoke those wolves.

It's okay to talk about wild beasts alone, but the key is the intelligent creatures hidden in them, Tang Zhao knows nothing about them.

He was able to kill three Orions within a few seconds, but his true face was not seen, but this ability was enough for Tang Zhao to evade on his own initiative.

If you go out, it is tantamount to giving up the forest's barrier to human beings and exposing yourself to human beings.

He knew very well that normal people would not reason with a large lizard. If he met a few armed adults, his life would be in danger, not to mention that he might attract more people to hunt him.

So the best choice at the moment may be to go deep into the woods.

Away from the various markings on the map, he walked towards the blank unknown area on the map.

After walking for a long distance, Tang Zhao, who felt similar, stopped.

He has not forgotten the ability to climb trees, find a tree that is strong enough, and he can sleep more safely by climbing it.

By the way, he also checked the situation of the dark green emblem to determine the standard for the next evolution.

{Evolution standard: two hundred kilograms of low-grade meat, six low-grade blood cores}
The meat is about twice his current weight, and the blood core can be taken out from the body cavity of some creatures. The next step is to find these two things so that he can continue to evolve.

After confirming this, Tang Zhao began to look for food.

Relying on his exceptionally keen sense of smell, he searched the air for scents, looking for suitable opportunities.

He hadn't learned any hunting skills yet, so he was not suitable to hunt healthy prey directly, so he decided to do one of the hottest jobs among animals.

To be an honorable scavenger, he was literally born for it.

Excellent sense of smell and vision, strong digestion ability, and enough physique to scare off most competitors, allowing him to win from fierce competition.

Following the smell of blood in the air, Tang Zhao found a wild boar carcass that was still in good condition, and his colleagues who were eating.

It was a group of huge spiders, each of which was as big as Tang Zhao's head.

Now they were gathering in front of the wild boar's carcass, cutting up the carcass with mouthparts no smaller than Tang Zhao's teeth, swallowing pieces of wild boar into their stomachs.

The eating method and living habits are very different from their relatives on the earth, but the difference in appearance is not great.

Tang Zhao looked at the layers of cobwebs formed on the trees behind the spider, and felt a little nervous.

If the wild boar was wrapped in a spider web, he would stay away from it, but since these spiders left the web, it was okay.

Foraging in nature is never an easy task, Tang Zhao knew this well, and was unwilling to give up this precious opportunity to eat.

Taking a few steps closer with the package in its mouth, the spiders on the outer layer suddenly stretched out, revealing two sharp fangs, as a demonstration.

However, those on the inner layer are still feasting, and they are not at all interested in Tang Zhao on the outer layer.

Tang Zhao thought of a way to deal with these low-intelligence insects.

The tail flicked to the front of the outermost spider, and the spider immediately rushed over with its teeth and claws.

Tang Zhao used this method to lead it out of the cover of the spider swarm little by little.

After drawing a sufficient distance, Tang Zhao grabbed the half piece of ripped leather waistcoat under his claws as a protection, supported his own person to stand up with his hind legs, barely moved forward a few steps, borrowed his own weight, and smashed at him like an iron rod. that spider.

A sound of carapace shattering came from under him. Just in case, Tang Zhao stood up again and slammed down several times.

After confirming that the spider under him had been completely crushed, Tang Zhao removed the leather vest, raised his head and swallowed the insect cake in a few mouthfuls.

The taste is not flattering, but a few are enough to fill the stomach.

After doing the same thing three or four times, it seemed that some mechanism of the spider swarm was triggered, and the group of spiders immediately dropped the half-eaten wild boar carcasses, crawled back to the spider webs, and hid themselves.

Naturally, Tang Zhao didn't dare to chase after him, instead, he walked towards the wild boar corpse and looked at it carefully.

The more I look at it, the more it feels wrong.

Wild boars have only bite marks caused by spider mouthparts, mainly in the abdominal cavity.

However, on the wild boar's neck, there was also a very large spider bite mark. Judging from the size, it was clear that the owner was definitely not a kind person.

[Why don't you eat it after killing it, and just throw it here?The mouthparts looked similar, and they might be the same kind of creature, or the spiders just now might be cubs, and the wild boars were specially caught food for the cubs. 】

Looking at the dense and endless spider webs in front of him, and at the many spider fluids and debris left by his side, Tang Zhao felt that he should run quickly.

Biting the wild boar's spine, Tang Zhao dragged it away without looking back.

And not long after he left, there was a sharp angry roar from the cobweb-wrapped woods, which startled many birds in the woods.
Tang Zhao, who had already walked a certain distance, failed to hear the previous cry. After running a certain distance at a high speed, Tang Zhao dragged the wild boar to a tree, preparing to rest for a while.

[The current situation seems to be very bad, and we must survive in the cracks. 】

Of course he can now understand why the map didn't mark anything inside the woods. It's probably because the drawers didn't want to conflict with the spiders in the woods.

The interior is the territory of giant spiders, and there are dangerous wolves entrenched on the periphery, so they can only survive in the buffer zone between the two.

But this day can't last long, after that, humans will enter the forest to clear the field.

Putting the head into the bitten open body cavity of the wild boar, he groped around with his slender forked tongue. Tang Zhao was lucky and found an intact blood core.

If only survival is considered, he is a temperature-changing animal, relatively energy-efficient, and this wild boar carcass can last for a long time without hunting.

But the threat is right in front of him. If he wants to evolve quickly, he must not be an opportunist who patiently picks up corpses. Only by taking the initiative can he quickly obtain enough resources.

Looking at the leather jacket covered in arthropod body fluids and various human props inside, Tang Zhao began to conceive of the specific uses of these things.
-
In a quiet clearing by the stream, several roe deer are drinking water with their heads down.

At this moment, a huge lizard suddenly sprang out from the forest and rushed towards the herd of deer.

The distance was relatively far, and lizards of this size were not as fast as tigers and leopards. Before he touched the herd of deer, they jumped across the stream and fled towards the woods.

At this time, the lizard failed to attack and did not give up. Instead, it hung behind the deer persistently, forcing them to continue to escape towards the woods.

After you chased me for a while, there was a sound of breaking branches in front of you, and then the whining sound of roe deer came to Tang Zhao's ears.

Involuntarily showing a completely invisible smile, Tang Zhao's speed was much faster, and he hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound.

What appeared in front of Tang Zhao was a deep pit with a sharp dagger and a few sharp stones inserted in it. There were many branches with green leaves scattered in the pit.

A deer was lying in the pit, its thigh had been pierced by a short dagger, and blood was continuously flowing out.

There is no doubt that the lizard is not as fast as the roe deer, and he has no hunting experience at all, but as a creature with brains, he can think of other ways.
