Chu Yang originally thought that this rabbit was just an isolated case, perhaps its hearing and sense of smell were more sensitive than other rabbits, so it could detect Chu Yang's presence in advance.

But then Chu Yang encountered several preys, all of which detected Chu Yang's approach from a long distance and began to flee in advance.

Chu Yang was even more surprised. Did he step on dog shit today? So these animals were driven away from a long distance?

Thinking of dog shit, Chu Yang was suddenly stunned again.

Is it really because of the smell?

In fact, the smell on humans is not strong, because humans clean their bodies every day, unlike many wild animals, which exude a foul smell that has been deposited for many years.

So smell, this kind of thing, does not have a big impact on human hunting.

But now Chu Yang's body is stained with some unnecessary smells, which is the blood of the big crocodile just now.

The smell of this blood is very strong, and it is extremely fishy and lingers for a long time.

Fortunately, Chu Yang has been in this world for almost two months, and he doesn't care much about these odors and dirty environments, otherwise he would have vomited long ago.

He wondered in his heart, is it really the smell of blood that scared away the prey?

This is a bit of a headache .

In order to verify whether the smell of blood really affected his hunting, Chu Yang decided to find a place to take a bath first.

There was also water in the water bag, but it was for drinking, not enough for washing the body.

So he was hungry and quickened his pace.

According to what Village Chief Babu had told him before, there must be water sources on the route where the caravan often traveled, and the farthest water source would not be more than a day's journey away.

For those that are closer, you can even encounter several sources in a day's journey.

Of course, not all of these water sources are suitable for drinking, and the water quality also varies.

As a caravan, it must choose a high-quality water source to fetch water, or to camp and rest.

But if Chu Yang only used it to wash his body, he would not be so picky.

After walking for only half an hour, Chu Yang found a mark on the side of the road.

This is a mark left by the natives. A simple symbol was painted on the stone wall by the roadside, indicating that there is a water source nearby, and the direction was marked with an arrow.

Following the direction indicated by the arrow, Chu Yang soon found a puddle under the stone wall not far from the roadside.

The water in the puddle was a little turbid, but if you are really thirsty, you can drink it.

If you use it to wash your body, there will be no problem.

Chu Yang quickly washed his body, including the clothes that were already a little tattered.

After a short rest, Chu Yang continued on his way.

Along the way, he continued to search on both sides of the road with his spiritual sense, looking for traces of prey.

There are indeed more prey in the mountains than outside the mountains. After walking for an hour or so, Chu Yang finally made another discovery.

This time, it was a roe deer-like thing, which was bigger than an ordinary dog.

Chu Yang calculated that this thing would be enough for him to eat for three days.

It was a bit wasteful, because the longer you eat it, the more you will feel that the meat is not fresh.

But he had no other choice now. He had been hungry for most of the day. If he delayed any longer, he didn't know if he could find other suitable prey.

So Chu Yang successfully killed the roe deer.

The roe deer failed to escape his clutches, nor did it detect his approach in advance.

This seemed to mean that he had found the root of the problem. The reason for his previous hunting failure was the bloody smell of the big crocodile.

But a successful hunting cannot represent an absolute result, and the vigilance of roe deer is worse than that of many animals. There is even a saying that roe deer are stupid.

Chu Yang felt that he needed to verify it again.

So an hour later, he tried to approach a prey again.

The result was similar to that of the roe deer. The prey also failed to detect his approach in time.

Chu Yang let the prey go. He was now sure that the smell of crocodile blood was the culprit for his hunting failure.

He suddenly remembered the situation of the tailless dog mentioned by Babu.

These lord-level beasts have their own territories, and they are very reluctant to let another powerful beast invade their territory.

In this case, either the two sides will fight to decide who owns the territory.

Or the latecomers will consciously avoid it and not conflict with other beasts.

The latter situation is more common, because these lord-level beasts rarely fight with beasts of the same level.

Isn't it nice to bully the weak and easily prey on small animals?

If you fight with beasts of the same level, you will definitely get injured.

And once the injury is a little more serious, it will affect future hunting, or even cause disability and death, which is not worth the loss for them.

Therefore, once they smell the scent of other beasts in the mountains and forests, they will take the initiative to avoid it and not provoke trouble.

What Village Chief Babu said, that the vicinity of the village will be safe for a while, is that the smell of the tailless dog has not completely dissipated.

This smell is usually left by urine.

Lord-level beasts will patrol their own territory and leave urine on the border of their territory to determine the scope of their territory and warn other beasts not to go deeper.

But their blood smell is also an obvious identification function.

The smell of blood is stronger than the smell of urine and even more recognizable.

Especially the beasts in this small world, the bloody smell is terrible.

The reason why Chu Yang was able to scare away those small animals before was because they could smell the smell of a big crocodile.

This result gave Chu Yang a sudden idea.

If the blood or urine of those beasts is smeared on the body, will it be smooth sailing?

Small animals are indeed easy to scare away, but what about big animals?

I'm afraid they will be scared as well, right?

Of course, the meaning of the smell of blood is somewhat different from the smell of urine.

It may represent a danger, or it may mean that a lord-level beast has been injured.

Some beasts will not retreat when they smell the blood, but will be eager to try.

They may try to take advantage of the loophole and kill these lord-level beasts.

However, when they see that the beast emitting the bloody smell is not the beast they imagined, but a lively human being...

What kind of expression will they have?

It should also be extremely shocked and terrified, right?

Because this situation may mean that this human has killed the lord-level beast, or defeated and killed it.

This is a considerable deterrent.

Chu Yang felt that he could try this method, which would most likely make his journey much smoother.
