The next day, Linzi woke up before dawn.
Walking out of the house, he found that everyone in the family, except for the two little children, was already up.
Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister Shi Yuying were busy in the kitchen, while Lao Die and Mother were filtering honey in the courtyard.
Everyone seemed normal, with nothing unusual,
Except for the Little Black Bear Cub at home, whose head was being pressed down by Zi Er (Sable) and was howling from the lecture...
After breakfast, Linzi, as before, went up the mountain with his Fifth Sister Shi Yuying.
The difference was that today he had an old-fashioned gun with him and also brought Zi Er (Sable).
This time, he not only wanted to collect honey but also to hunt!
Having the experience of fishing, hunting Golden Pheasant, and ducks the previous day, Linzi found that the beast servant points earned from hunting should be higher than those from collecting honey.
Only by hunting could he gain the beast servant points needed to contract large ferocious beasts faster.
He opened the system panel.
【beast servant points: 51】
【beast servant: Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet), Zi Er (Sable)】
Linzi planned that the third beast servant should be a large one.
Preferably one that could help him carry honey and game, or an eagle that could carry people and fly.
The two still walked up the mountain with Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet) as usual. When they approached a beehive, Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet) would make excited buzzing sounds.
At this time, Linzi and Shi Yuying would put on protective gear and go collect the honey, which was very simple.
They had only been on the mountain for less than an hour when they collected honey from two beehives.
After these days of cooperation, the two had become more skilled at collecting honey. Shi Yuying even brought paper and a pen to record the beehives they had collected along the way, planning to visit the hardworking Little Bees again next year.
At this moment, the two had just finished covering the second beehive when they saw Little Purple Sable walking towards them with a two to three-pound rabbit in its mouth, stepping with an air of indifference.
The little fellow usually leaped around in the forest, but this time it really couldn't jump. It itself weighed only about a pound, and now it was carrying a two to three-pound rabbit in its mouth. It was already good enough that it could walk...
It was like a small horse pulling a large cart.
"Ah? Little Purple Sable brought another Wild Rabbit. It's too amazing!"
Shi Yuying said with surprise and joy.
They had only been on the mountain for over half an hour, and this little fellow had already brought them three pieces of game.
The first one was a cuckoo bird weighing about half a pound.
The second one was a Wild Rabbit weighing about a pound.
Now it was the third one, a Wild Rabbit weighing two to three pounds.
With Little Purple Sable's efficiency, Linzi felt that if he contracted a few more Sables, he could basically lie flat.
As for now, Zi Er (Sable) could basically ensure that their family didn't lack meat to eat and could even sell some to create income.
Most importantly, it could also bring beast servant points to Linzi!
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for capturing a Wild Rabbit, gaining 3 beast servant points.】
Linzi took the Wild Rabbit from Little Purple Sable's mouth, a smile appearing on his face.
The three pieces of game brought back by Little Purple Sable added 1 beast servant point each for the first two, and this one added 3 points, totaling 5 points in just over half an hour.
Adding the 3 points he gained from collecting honey from a beehive.
He gained a total of 8 points, taking a big step closer to his goal of contracting a large beast servant!
Linzi rubbed Zi Er (Sable) and praised:
"Well done, keep up the good work. Go, if you encounter anything big, come back and inform me."
Hearing his master's praise, Zi Er (Sable) excitedly chirped twice, then pushed off with its legs, leaped onto a tree trunk, and disappeared into the forest with a few bounds.
Seeing Little Purple Sable turn around and disappear again, Shi Yuying said with some emotion:
"This little fellow is really diligent. It doesn't need to rest. It drags the game back, puts it down, and leaves. And, did you notice, its hind leg seems to be better?"
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."
Linzi hadn't expected Fifth Sister's observation skills to be so sharp.
In fact, he himself had also noticed that Little Purple Sable's hind leg was better. Little Purple Sable was much faster now than yesterday.
But why could Little Purple Sable recover so quickly? He thought for a long time and felt it might be due to the system.
So he didn't make a sound, but he didn't expect Fifth Sister to discover the clue.
He thought for a moment and found an excuse to gloss over it,
"It seems to be almost completely healed. Maybe it wasn't seriously injured in the first place."
"But, I yesterday..."
"No buts, let's hurry up too. Let's collect the honey quickly, I still want to save some time for hunting."
Linzi directly changed the subject, shouldered his gear, and followed the hornet Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet) to the next beehive.
And Shi Yuying was indeed distracted by his words and began to follow her parents' instructions, telling Linzi that he couldn't go hunting.
In their Lao Die's words, this gun was for them to carry for self-defense, not for them to actively hunt. If they wanted to hunt, they still needed to learn more.
Another hour passed.
Linzi and Shi Yuying collected honey from five more beehives. At this point, they had already filled three bags with honeycomb honey.
They had brought a total of four bags. The other bag was filled with Little Purple Sable's various spoils of war.
Most of them were Wild Rabbits, totaling 6. The largest Wild Rabbit, Linzi estimated, weighed over 6 pounds.
It was killed by Little Purple Sable, who then ran back and led them to retrieve it.
In addition to the six Wild Rabbits, there were also 4 birds and three Golden Pheasants. They fit perfectly into one bag. It can be said that Little Purple Sable's achievements were very fruitful.
Linzi looked at the four bags they had brought and said to Fifth Sister:
"All four bags we brought are full. Let's stop here for the morning. If we have more, we won't be able to carry them back. Let's see this afternoon, if the weather is good, we'll come again."
"Okay." Shi Yuying nodded, agreeing to Linzi's suggestion.
She hadn't expected that filling four bags would become so fast now.
It had only been a little over two hours since they left home, and all four bags were full.
This was much more efficient than their previous efficiency.
And the beehives in this Daxing Mountain seemed inexhaustible, one after another. Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet) found them without any effort.
Linzi had also explained this to her. No one here specifically lured or captured bees,
If bees are not suppressed by humans, in suitable places, their colonies develop very quickly. There is no need to worry about not having beehives to collect from.
"Alright, Fifth Sister, you rest here for a while. I'll look around nearby and see if there's any game to hunt."
After saying that, Linzi didn't wait for Shi Yuying's reply, shouldered his gun, and walked directly into the Linzi, afraid that if he walked slowly, his Fifth Sister would call him back.
Seeing this, Shi Yuying rolled her eyes helplessly.
Fortunately, their Lao Die had also said that Linzi's marksmanship was good and he shot accurately. As long as he was careful and didn't enter the Deep Mountain, there shouldn't be a big problem.
