"Goo-goo~"
At this moment, the wild chicken that was locked in a trap cage by Andrew envied the white eagle's food and drink.
So it made cooing sounds and intentionally turned around in the cage, making some noise to attract Andrew's attention.
Andrew turned his head and immediately understood.
This chicken was probably also hungry. Yesterday, it couldn't find anything to eat because it had accidentally wandered into the trap cage. Now it had been locked up all night and was even more hungry, hence the constant cooing.
Andrew glanced at the food in the warehouse.
There was still a piece of roasted rabbit meat left.
But Andrew couldn't bear to give a piece of meat to a chicken, and besides, do chickens even eat meat?
He searched further and found only a handful of nuts.
They were some pine nuts, pistachios, and other unroasted hard-shell nuts that didn't look appetizing and were also troublesome to eat.
Andrew threw a small handful to the wild chicken to keep it from starving.
"Goo-goo~"
The colorful chicken was very happy and turned in place before suddenly lifting its butt.
"Gurgle~"
A white egg rolled out of its butt.
Andrew's eyes lit up.
Yesterday, he left this hen only to prevent the meat from spoiling. He didn't expect to have this extra bonus.
Not bad! Andrew was overjoyed. It would be better if there were tomatoes, then he could make a pot of stew.
He collected the egg into the warehouse and gave some more nuts to the hen to eat well and produce more eggs!
Burp~
After eating the delicious roast meat, Andrew burped.
He cleaned up and realized it was almost 8 o'clock in the morning, time to get to work!
The sun gradually rose, and the mist around the wooden house dissipated quickly. Through the window, Andrew could see that the scenery around the house was gradually becoming clearer.
He opened the door, breathing in a breath of fresh air!
As soon as he walked out of the door, the prompts flashed as usual.
[East: The outer edge of the Misty Forest has many trees. If you lack wood, it would be a good place to go.]
[South: The Lightning Leopard had a deadly fight with monsters in the mist, and it is now licking its wounds. If you want to take action, today would be a good opportunity. Near the Lightning Leopard, there is a lucky treasure box with the things maybe you want inside!]
[PS: Although you have a rusty axe, there is a high chance of getting injured. If you have a ranged weapon, your chances of winning would be greater.]
[West: 50 meters away from you, there is a patch of low shrubs with a beehive inside. The honey is sweet, but be careful of bee attacks! Consider using fire, a combination of resin and poison ivy is good!]
[North: The acid rain yesterday caused serious injuries to small animals. Today, the probability of placing traps to catch empty is very high.]
Andrew glanced at the four directions of the prompt.
It seemed that yesterday's acid rain brought Andrew some benefits, but it also had some negative effects.
For example, the small animals in the grassland were injured and unwilling to leave their nests.
So even if he placed traps, the probability of catching nothing was high.
In that case, Andrew decided not to waste time setting traps in the grassland.
The focus of today was exploration. He decided to place them on the lightning leopard to the south and the beehive to the west!
Through the system prompt, Andrew learned that the lightning leopard was seriously injured, and he had a certain chance of winning with a rusty axe, but he might also get injured.
However, Andrew also noticed that the prompt mentioned that if he had ranged weapons, his chances of winning would be greater.
After upgrading the workbench last night, he can now make bows and arrows. Maybe he can try to get some distance and then go hunting?
Andrew came to the workbench.
[Level 2 workbench: can make double-edged axes, stone axes, short bows, arrows, vine armor, cotton clothes, intermediate backpacks, and beginner armguards]
[Short bow: can attack prey within a range of 50 meters, but the accuracy is insufficient beyond 50 meters. Manufacturing requirements: 32/2 vines, 0/1 tendons, 19/1 bamboo]
[PS: remember to make arrows. Arrow: 19/1 bamboo, 0/2 feathers, 110/1 bronze]
The moment he saw the arrows, Andrew understood that bronze was used to make arrows.
And the consumption was a bit high, one arrow required 1 bronze, and he didn't know if arrows could be recycled. Otherwise, the consumption of bronze was a bit heartbreaking!
There were not enough tendons and feathers.
Andrew thought for a moment and then looked at the hen.
The hen, who was happily eating nuts, was suddenly scared by Andrew's gaze and retreated several steps, looking at Andrew in terror, with an expression of "What do you want to do?"
[Hen: can produce one egg per day. Decomposition yields: 2 chicken meat, 1 egg, 10 down]
No feathers?
It seemed that the feathers of the hen were not qualified.
Andrew sighed and had to turn his head to look at the white eagle.
The white eagle also took a step back in fear because of the owner's gaze, which was too scary!
[Common Magic Pet - White Eagle (80% underage): a skilled hunter and tracker with extremely powerful claws that can easily kill a goat! Food: meat, anything with energy.]
[Status: Loyalty 100%, slightly frightened!]
[PS: The white eagle will change its feathers again after it reaches adulthood.]
"Yoohoo?"
Andrew saw the prompt from the white eagle change.
Its adulthood had reached 80%, so it looked like it could level up with a good meal.
Andrew thought for a moment and directly threw an energy stone at it.
Anyway, he had accumulated 36 energy stones in this wave, and he could still collect more by selling water, so he wasn't lacking.
"Chirp chirp!"
The white eagle's expression brightened.
It stared at Andrew with its bright, shining eyes, looking delighted as if it was asking Andrew if it could really eat it.
"Well, it's for you. Go ahead and eat it!"Andrew replied.
The white eagle then approached the energy stone and swallowed it in one gulp, crunching away.
As the white eagle finished eating the energy stone, it suddenly shook all over, and its size increased by half a meter!
White Eagle was over one meter tall. Andrew wondered if the grown-up white eagle could become a steed allowing to take to the skies!
Unfortunately, the new prompt from the white eagle quickly dispelled Andrew's thoughts.
[Junior Magic Pet - White Eagle: Hunting expert, with powerful claws! Not currently rideable, requires elemental riding equipment to ride!]
[Status: Loyalty 100%, eagle-eye state increased to 10 minutes!]
[Feathers 1000, collectible!]
Andrew immediately collected the scattered eagle feathers.
He had all the materials needed to make arrows, except for a tendon.
It was really conflicting.
If he could kill that lightning leopard, he would definitely get the sinew and even some animal skin as a bonus.
But the reason Andrew wanted to make a short bow was to kill the lightning leopard.
Without killing the lightning leopard, he couldn't get the sinew.
Without the sinew, he couldn't make the short bow!
This was a perfect closed loop!
