I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 29: Moved Half a Meter!

Wounds can heal, but too much missing flesh can never grow back.

However, Zhang Chen was not in a hurry. As he acquired more and more skills, and even superimposed skill points, his Bloodsucking Art would one day reach the point of flesh regeneration.

Looking at the scars on his palm, Zhang Chen roughly understood the upper limit of his skill.

As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, his skill could recover him.

"Of course, I can get injured in the future, but I must never lose flesh, otherwise the lost flesh won't grow back," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

"But even so, this skill is still extremely heaven-defying. As long as I'm not stabbed in the head and lose consciousness, even if my heart is pierced, I should have a chance to survive!" Zhang Chen was a little uncertain, then threw the rabbit's corpse on the ground and looked up at the hawk: "This beast is quite fierce! But it's my first time encountering a hawk, so it's inevitable to be injured. Next time, I'll find animal skins to make protective gear so I won't be afraid of hawk attacks."

Zhang Chen didn't dare to bring the hawk home. Instead, he left it in the cave, randomly cutting up some rabbit meat and throwing it into the cage, then turned and left.

Hawks are not easy to tame, and Zhang Chen didn't have the time to train one.

Back home, the two roe deer he had hunted yesterday were still lying on the ground, their big eyes now filled with dimness, obviously uncomfortable after being tied up for a day.

"Did the fox spirit next door change her nature? Why isn't she taking the roe deer?" Zhang Chen looked at the roe deer tied on the ground, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then, he took out a rope, tied a 'pig hoof knot', dragged the roe deer into the yard, and tied it up like a donkey.

Roe deer are relatively large animals, smaller than roe deer and deer, but about the size of goats.

In the past, Zhang Chen would sell the roe deer he hunted for food, but now Zhang Chen felt that he should change his thinking. He wanted to raise some animals so that if he suffered a serious injury in the future, he could quickly heal his wounds by sucking blood.

After all, there wouldn't always be animals for him to suck blood from. If he got injured and there were no animals nearby to suck blood from, he would die a frustrating death.

"Strange, did this fox spirit change her nature?" Zhang Chen glanced at the neighbor's yard, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't see the poor scholar Zhang Chen, nor did he see the fox spirit, so he picked up a rope and went to the village to cut grass. In the future, he would have one more task: cutting grass to feed the roe deer and pheasants.

Zhang Chen went to the mountain to cut grass, then returned to the yard. The roe deer panicked when it saw Zhang Chen, scurrying around in confusion, but its hooves were trapped by the rope, and it couldn't escape after struggling for a while. Only when Zhang Chen piled the green grass on the ground did the roe deer calm down slightly. After Zhang Chen went into the house, it cautiously approached to eat the grass.

Zhang Chen stood in the house and watched the roe deer in the yard for a while. Seeing that the roe deer had started eating grass, he knew that it would take time for him to become familiar with the roe deer, and it would also take time for the roe deer to adapt to 'confinement'.

Zhang Chen washed up a little in the house, thinking about the future. He also thought about the fact that the Li steward was going to raise the rent, and he couldn't help but have a headache. Where would he find spare money to give to Steward Li? Moreover, Steward Li was going to hold a birthday celebration, and the manager was subtly hinting that he should present a birthday gift, which would be another expense.

"Damn Steward Li, he's simply Li the Skinflint!" Zhang Chen lay on the bed, cursing, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he was helpless. Steward Li's background was not simple, at least for ordinary people, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"One day I will take revenge." Zhang Chen cursed. At this moment, there was a sound from next door. The poor scholar Zhang Chen and the fox spirit had returned, and then there was the sound of starting a fire and cooking.

"My days are so hard! Not only do I have to support myself, but also the neighbors, and I also have to worry about the rent. There's a pile of messy things." Zhang Chen lay on the bed, cursing, then gradually fell asleep, with only one thought lingering in his mind: "There are two gold pages in the scholar's house next door. If I have a chance, I'll get them to study."

Nothing happened overnight. Zhang Chen slept soundly, while the one human and one fox next door were on tenterhooks, tormented by a night of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

In the early morning, Zhang Chen directly carried a basket and a Luoyang shovel and walked towards the mountains. Walking in the shade of the trees in the mountains, Zhang Chen frowned as he looked at the wilted leaves in the mountains: "The weather is too hot. It's only early morning, and the leaves on the trees are already withered?"

Zhang Chen looked at the leaves on the trees and felt the heat in the air, and couldn't help frowning: "It's going to be difficult! If this continues, the crops in the fields will probably not survive. At that time, the people will have a hard time, and the government will probably increase the rent."

Zhang Chen cursed and felt the heat in the air, his back already wet with sweat.

Arriving at the traps in the mountains to patrol, today's traps yielded a decent harvest, a pheasant and a wild duck.

"The resources of this world are too abundant. The living environment of animals has not been destroyed, and there is no technological hunting, which greatly improves the survival of animals." Zhang Chen caught and tied up the pheasant and wild duck, then walked towards the mountains.

Hunting in this world relies entirely on traps. As for bows and arrows and other items? Those are controlled items, and ordinary people cannot own them at all.

Moreover, it would cost at least twenty or thirty taels of silver to make a bow, and it also requires daily maintenance, which mountain hunters cannot afford.

Zhang Chen carried the prey to the tomb, feeling the coolness in the tomb. The scorching heat from the outside gradually dissipated at this time, and then Zhang Chen looked at the stone tablet, and then he was stunned.

What did he see?

The stone tablet had actually moved!

"Someone has been here? And they touched the stone tablet?" Zhang Chen was shocked and quickly came to the stone tablet, looking at the dragging marks on the ground, and then carefully examining the surrounding environment. Then, he frowned: "Something's not right! There are only my footprints here, no one else's footprints at all! Not only are there no human footprints, but there aren't even animal footprints."

"But the traces of this stone tablet moving...? Could it be said that the stone tablet moved by itself?" Zhang Chen looked at the traces on the ground. The distance the stone tablet had moved compared to yesterday was a full twenty centimeters, the same as the distance it had sunk into the underground soil yesterday.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Chen's mind: "This stone tablet is a strange thing. If it can move on its own, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? It's not hard to understand, right? So the stone tablet wants to escape?"
