After the four of them finished eating and cleaned up, Liu Xiangyang said.

"I'll go into the mountains tomorrow morning, but there's not much to fight on the outskirts right now, so I plan to go a little further in. If I don't come back by tonight, don't worry, just say you don't know if anyone asks."

Leqi: "They said it's very dangerous in the deep mountains. We have plenty of food, so why don't you just wander around the outskirts?"

Liu Xiangyang pulled Le Qi into his arms and rubbed her a couple of times, saying, "Haven't I already discussed my abilities and skills with you in detail? You have to trust me, I won't have any problems."

"Besides, being full and eating well are two different things. If I can't feed you all well and plump, wouldn't that be a failure for me as your man?"

Leqi struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she could only let Liu Xiangyang hold her in his arms and do whatever he wanted.

Xue Bingbing: "I trust you. I'll prepare some extra dry food for you, just in case we don't have enough to eat."

Xue Bingbing and the others then went to the kitchen to prepare four or five days' worth of food for Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang couldn't stop him: "Where would I need so much food? I'll be back in two or three days at most."

Leqi: "It's good to have more on hand, better safe than sorry."

After Xue Bingbing and Le Qi left, only Le Yao was left in the room.

"Yaoyao, go boil some water, there will be hot water for a bath later," Liu Xiangyang said to Le Yao.

That evening, Liu Xiangyang taught Le Yao many positions, while Le Qi on the other side also felt the pain of learning.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Xiangyang woke Le Yao up, took her there, and then came back to pack his things and set off.

Liu Xiangyang first went to the place where he had encountered the bear last time. Now it was quiet, and some bloodstains could still be vaguely seen on the ground. The bearskin cloak should be almost finished. He would go and check on it in a few days.

Liu Xiangyang continued forward, using his skills to traverse forests and climb cliffs, moving with incredible speed on easier paths.

Liu Xiangyang's purpose this time was very clear: to scout out the way and explore the living range of various animals in this unfamiliar area, so that he wouldn't get lost when he came in after the heavy snow closed the mountain.

Animals are now frantically storing up fat, and I need to prepare enough meat for the four of us this winter.

Along the way, Liu Xiangyang scavenged anything he saw that seemed useful. He decomposed pine nuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and wild fruits, both familiar and unfamiliar, and stored them in his spatial storage. He also took some large tree trunks.

By the time Liu Xiangyang crossed a hill, it was already past nine o'clock. He found a sheltered spot and ate something.

The decomposition capability I used along the way has been upgraded in two places. The distance at which I can use the decomposition is now greater. Before, the maximum distance was about two meters, and I couldn't control it beyond that.

Now that it's been extended by two meters, it can be used at a distance of four meters.

Another change is that the range of mental energy detection has been increased from five meters to twenty meters, which makes the safe distance much wider and safer.

After finishing his meal, Liu Xiangyang continued walking for a while. Suddenly, he strode forward, parted the weeds, and discovered a series of footprints and a pile of feces.

The footprints were light and looked like those of a roe deer. Could it be the roe deer that ran away last time? Liu Xiangyang followed the footprints and chased after it.

After consulting with Old Wang, Liu Xiangyang learned why the roe deer were called "silly roe deer" and that if he had continued chasing them last time, he would have had a high chance of catching them.

After chasing for a while, several roe deer suddenly appeared in a clearing in the woods ahead. They were leisurely munching on their food with their heads down, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

Liu Xiangyang held his breath, scanning his surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on a large, protruding rock above and to the side of the roe deer herd. The rock was about three or four meters off the ground and only a dozen meters from the roe deer, making it an excellent hunting spot.

He crouched low, silently circled behind the roe deer, and carefully moved toward the boulder.

The fallen leaves beneath his feet made almost no sound under his deliberate control.

It took him more than ten minutes to cover this short distance, with each step landing precisely in the safest position.

Finally reaching the top of the boulder, he leaned down to observe the three roe deer below.

Sunlight filtered through the bare branches, casting dappled shadows on their brown fur.

He took out a short spear from his spatial storage and gently placed it on the rock beside him; the cold touch invigorated him.

He slowly stood up, gripped his short spear tightly in his right hand, and aimed at the largest roe deer from his elevated position. After a brief pause, he suddenly exerted force with his arm.

"call out!"

The short spear pierced the air, carrying a sharp, powerful gust of wind.

"Bang!"

The largest roe deer fell to the ground without even having time to let out a mournful cry.

The other two roe deer were startled and raised their heads, turning their long ears warily, their bright black eyes filled with confusion.

They looked around but found nothing, so they lowered their heads again and continued to nibble on their food as if nothing had happened.

Liu Xiangyang was secretly delighted. The silly roe deer lived up to its reputation. He quickly grabbed the second short spear.

He aimed at the neck of the second roe deer. Pulling his arm back and using his waist and abdomen to generate power, the short spear shot out like lightning.

"Pfft—"

The sharp spear tip pierced the roe deer's neck with precision, pinning it to the ground with tremendous momentum.

Warm blood gushed out, scattering a blinding red stain on the withered grass.

At that moment, the last roe deer seemed to finally smell the blood in the air. It trembled, its hind legs straining as it leaped up to escape.

Without a second thought, Liu Xiangyang grabbed the third short spear and hurled it with all his might at the leaping figure!

"Bang!"

The short spear pierced the roe deer's neck precisely, and with its momentum undiminished, it pinned it directly to a thick tree trunk behind it.

The roe deer's limbs twitched weakly in the air a few times, and then it stopped moving.

Liu Xiangyang jumped off the boulder and quickly stepped forward. The two roe deer lying on the ground were already lifeless. He pulled out his short spear and put the silly roe deer into his spatial storage.

When he reached the roe deer nailed to the tree, he was also amazed by his own strength.

The short spear had sunk more than 30 centimeters deep into the tree trunk, with only a small part of the spear shaft still trembling outside!

He gripped the spear shaft with both hands and pulled hard—but it wouldn't budge. The blood-stained shaft was slippery, and with a bit too much force, he fell flat on his backside.

Liu Xiangyang stood up, grabbed a handful of dry grass to wipe the blood off his hands, and gripped the spear shaft again. This time, he was smarter; he first wiggled the spear from side to side to loosen it, and once he felt it loosen, he suddenly exerted force—

With a "whoosh," the short spear shot out.

Looking at the large hole in the tree trunk, if it can't be pulled out soon, then this tree will inevitably be dismantled and used as firewood.

He carefully examined the spearhead; its cold gleam remained, undamaged. He gestured to indicate the depth it had penetrated into the tree trunk—almost as long as his arm. Such power would be enough to kill even the fiercest wild beast, let alone a roe deer.
