Early in the morning, wild boar cave.

Nord slept a little deeper. Yesterday, he studied the map late at night and got a lot of gains. So he was a little excited and couldn't sleep for a while. He thought about what his strategy for developing the mountains would look like. Lehman's earth-shaking snoring sounds were heard in his ears. Nord didn't know when he fell asleep. When he got up, he was left in the cave.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the rock hanging down like a sharp sword on the top of the cave. Nod was shocked and he was completely sleepy. He hurriedly left the bed. Why didn’t he notice it before? It was too scary. When he stood up, he found that the rock on the top was actually very solid, but it looked very dangerous when he lay down. He thought in his heart that he would tell someone to get rid of this thing later. Otherwise, when he got up every day, he would be able to withstand this thing? He was not King Goujian of Yue, who would sleep on firewood and taste gall all day long and work hard to do his best.

When you walk out of the cave, the hunters have finished training and are busy with other things, such as fetching water. Many people have to stay in the wild boar cave these days, and they do have to prepare a lot of things. As for fetching water, they must go to the small river west of the wild boar cave to be fed and put into a large wooden barrel at the wild boar cave stronghold for people to use.

Nord, who got up too late, started his day of training without blushing and his heart was not beating. When Nord finished training, he saw Lehman and the other two coming back from the gate of the stronghold, carrying a few pheasants and rabbits in his hands.

"Mr. Nord, you are up. We have just gone out for a walk. Today, we are lucky enough to catch a little prey. I will comfort you later."

"You are back just in time. I made some inference yesterday and I will tell you later."

While eating the roasted rabbit meat in his hand, Nord couldn't help but complain. It was indeed not as skilled as Abel. Looking at Old Moore and Harry's expectant eyes, Nord still told them about the inferences they had made last night.

"Really, Lord Nord, how confident are you, let's start now."

As soon as Nord finished speaking, Harry was a little impatient. Although Harry was almost thirty years old, he was still as impatient as a young man in his teenagers. I don’t know whether it was isolation from the world or personal reasons, Lehman, who was a few years older than him, seemed extremely calm.

Although Old Moore was very anxious, he kicked Harry and signaled him to finish his meal first.

"Sir Nord, Harry grew up in the deep mountains and forests. He doesn't understand etiquette, so don't take it to heart."

Nord quickly finished eating the rabbit meat in his hand and did not take Harry's offense to heart. Nord was not the arrogant nobleman of this era. He thought he was born superior, and Harry was not intentional to offend him. Moreover, Old Moore had already blamed him, so Nord followed suit and blushed.

"It's okay, Harry was also anxious. It was not a serious mistake, but if it were other nobles, you might have cut off your tongue."

In the end, Nord scared Harry. As expected, Harry was jumped, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously covered his mouth. Nord just said casually, but Lehman and Old Moore knew in his heart that offending a noble was very serious, and Viscount Oly Crison had tortured the civilians who offended him a lot.

Old Moore was teaching Harry seriously. After Lehman arranged the affairs of the stronghold, Nord and others set off again.

For the next half month, Nord will stay in the mountains and forests every day, exploring the mountains and forests during the day, and returning at night to end the harvest. As he continues to deepen, the time will take longer and longer.

It takes two or three days to go out now. To prepare food and water, Nord and others cannot stay in the mountains and forests all the time. They must return to the wild boar cave to replenish supplies, and they must also relieve their mood, especially the latter is more important.

Staying in the mountains and forests for a long time, the repetitive and unchanging environment around them, and the futility of every day, will be shackles from everyone's psychology. Nord understands this truth even more, so Nord works every day, comforts everyone's mentality, summarizes the gains every day, and fully learns the lessons learned from the last time, so that everyone can't lose confidence and hope.

This time, Nord and others have been in the forest for three days. It’s not that Nord and others have not returned, but that they have now entered the depths of the mountains and have walked for two days before.

There is no road in the mountains and forests, so it is very difficult to take no step. You have to overcome all obstacles. In addition, if you cross mountains and ridges, it is already very good to be able to walk twenty or thirty kilometers a day.

However, there is no gain. After half a month of hard work, the map on the animal skin has extended many places to the north from the wild boar cave, and the roads I have walked back and forth have gradually become familiar with. I no longer feel the fear of staying in the strange forest, and I feel more at ease.

This time, I walked very far into the mountains to find a way. In addition, I had been walking for three days before. Before dark, Lehman decided to find a place to spend the night. So everyone skillfully raised the bonfire, chopping wood, and boiling water, which was so skillful that it was heartbreaking.

After dark, people always sit around the bonfire. Even if Nord pours chicken soup for them every day, the atmosphere is still a little low at this time, especially after the night falls, people will feel more fragile, just like some people will cry because of loneliness at night.

Nord took a bite of roasted yam and drank the soup made from wild vegetables, and began a routine stable morale and daily summary.

"To this day, we have gone very far. I believe that the Yuanshanzhai may be near in front of me. There is a saying in my hometown that people who travel a hundred miles a day are half a dozen, and they are talking about..."

"careful!"

Lehman, who was listening to Nord's speech, suddenly shouted, plucked half of the wood burning in the bonfire and threw it into the darkness.

Nord and others were shocked by Lehman and looked in the direction Lehman pointed.

The burning wooden sticks drew a brilliant track in the air, and a shrill howling sound came from the darkness.

“Meow~Woo~”

Everyone looked closely and a dark shadow flashed by. In the dark jungle, a pair of green eyes stared at everyone. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness.

"Black Bobcat!"

"It's the Black Bobcat!"

Old Moore and Harry said in unison. After they said that, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Nord and others were puzzled. Is the Black Bobcat an animal in the dark just now? So what's so happy about?

"What kind of animal is a black lynx? Why haven't I seen it in the forest? I walked quietly, and I almost didn't notice it."

Lehman's face showed confusion. He had never been to such a deep place in the mountains for so many years. This was the first time Lehman had seen this animal. The smile on Old Moore's face has not disappeared.

"That thing is called the Black Round Cat. I haven't seen it for more than 20 years. This animal appears every night and quietly captures prey. It especially loves the firelight in the night. When there are few people in the Shanzhai, it dares not show firelight at night, for fear that the Black Round Cat will touch the house. The adults in the Shanzhai will scare the children with the Black Round Cat. If they say they are disobedient, they will be eaten by the Black Round Cat at night!"

Nord also had a happy smile on his face, and understood what Old Moore meant.
