The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Li Kaixin headed to the horse farm early in the morning.

Surprisingly, Chaolu was already there waiting.

He held the reins of two horses in one hand while constantly looking in the direction Li Kaixin had come from.

Upon seeing Li Kaixin, Chaolu immediately led his horse forward.

Approaching Li Kaixin, Chao Lu smiled and handed him the reins, saying:

"Here you go, this is the horse I've prepared for you. It's very gentle and has good stamina, perfect for long journeys on the grasslands."

"Thank you, Brother Chaolu."

Li Kaixin took the reins and looked around again:

"Didn't Brother Enhe come?"

"Him? He went to herd the sheep early this morning."

Chao Lu explained with a smile:

"It's our turn to herd the sheep today. I have to go help out, so I'll be going now. Have a great day!"

After saying that, Chaolu rode away on another horse.

"Goodbye, Brother Chaolu." Li Kaixin waved goodbye.

After watching Chao Lu's figure disappear into the distance.

Li Kaixin then mounted his horse and rode off in the direction Uliji had pointed out yesterday.

Along the way on horseback, I saw many teenagers herding sheep.

Looking at the grassland and the flock of sheep, Li Kaixin couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. This kind of scenery was something he could never experience in Beijing.

After riding for an hour, the surrounding scenery finally began to change.

The grasslands became increasingly lush, and trees began to appear more frequently, indicating that we had reached the edge of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Li Kaixin reined in his horse, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then led the horse into the secret realm.

Then they put the horse and the rabbit together.

The rabbits in the space have already bred a litter of babies, and Li Kaixin has been feeding them wheat seedlings these past few days, which has made him feel quite sorry for them.

Thinking that the area outside the secret realm was all lawn, I made a decision.

After carefully completing the preparations before entering the mountain, Li Kaixin left the secret realm and began harvesting the surrounding grass.

Since this area was already in the Greater Khingan Mountains, it was clearly unclaimed territory, so Li Kaixin felt at ease accepting it.

They only stopped when they had covered the rabbit enclosure with a thick layer of grass.

Only then did they venture deeper into the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Just like his last trip to Changbai Mountain, Li Kaixin would carve marks on tree trunks every so often.

Li Kaixin's goal for this trip into the mountains was not only to hunt, but also to collect precious medicinal herbs.

The abundance of resources in the Greater Khingan Mountains is astonishing, far surpassing anything around Beijing and even the Changbai Mountains.

In less than an hour, Li Kaixin had collected more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials, including astragalus, bupleurum, and sand ginseng.

After continuing onward, Li Kaixin finally encountered his first prey of the day.

He raised his gun, aimed, and fired a shot, causing his prey to fall to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gazelle.

Although puzzled as to why the gazelle was acting alone, Li Kaixin didn't think too much about it, guessing that it was probably just a stray that had gotten separated from the herd.

After taking the gazelle into their space, they continued their exploration.

After a period of trekking, a clear stream came into view.

Li Kaixin's spirits lifted. Based on his experience from many trips into the mountains, he knew that the vicinity of water sources was always the place where biological activity was most frequent.

As expected, Li Kaixin encountered a group of wild boars shortly after walking for a while; there were three large ones and five smaller ones.

Instead of fleeing, the wild boars launched an attack.

Li Kaixin did not fire his gun. Instead, he used the secret space to capture them all alive and placed them with the pigs he had previously raised.

During his subsequent exploration, Li Kaixin encountered many wild animals that he had only seen in the animal world in his previous life.

Such as small animals like otters, weasels, red foxes, and sables.

As for larger animals, Li Kaixin would keep them in his space if he could capture them alive, and kill those he couldn't catch.

The meat reserves in the secret realm have also increased considerably.

Of course, Li Kaixin would not hesitate to shoot a lynx dead without hesitation.

For him, raising such wild animals, which are neither easy to raise nor have good meat quality, is pointless.

Similarly, the most thrilling encounter was with two moose.

Just as Li Kaixin parted a clump of bushes, he encountered two moose face to face.

The two enormous creatures stood nearly two meters tall at the shoulder. The stag's massive, palm-shaped antlers were aimed directly at Li Kaixin, its nostrils flaring and its front hooves pawing the ground restlessly.

Upon seeing this, Li Kaixin instantly held his breath, his back soaked with cold sweat, and he felt an immediate urge to fire.

Although moose are gentle in nature, they can be more aggressive than tigers when startled, and their massive antlers can easily startle a meal.

They are clearly in a state of shock now.

But after thinking it over, Li Kaixin made a bold decision.

So he slowly took half a step back, his mind sinking into the secret realm.

Just as the stag charged forward with its head down, Li Kaixin moved his mind and put both moose into his spatial storage.

Only after confirming that he had entered the secret realm did Li Kaixin breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

They also had a fruitful harvest of medicinal herbs, the most precious of which was a wild ginseng that was about fifty years old.

Faced with such abundant resources.

Li Kaixin even had a thought: how wonderful it would be to live here permanently, a thought she had never had when she was in Changbai Mountain.

It was noon.

Li Kaixin found a cave near the stream and started a fire to prepare lunch.

We cut some meat from the gazelles and roe deer we had hunted, and then processed a wild rabbit we had caught in the Greater Khingan Mountains. After that, we enjoyed a delicious roasted game meal.

After lunch, Li Kaixin entered the secret realm to take stock of his morning's gains.

The hunted wild game, including the following cleaned meat:

One lynx weighs over 30 jin, two roe deer weigh over 90 jin, and three adult sika deer weigh over 260 jin.

Two large wild boars weighed over 500 jin each, a yellow sheep weighed over 50 jin each, and a wolf weighed over 40 jin each.

The animals kept include:

Two moose, more than twenty rabbits, and seven sheep that had grown quite a bit.

The chickens and ducks have started laying eggs and have hatched a batch of chicks and ducklings, each reaching a size of more than seventy.

The number of pigs has reached fourteen. Apart from the newly caught piglets, the previous ones have all grown to weigh over a hundred pounds.

Looking at the ever-expanding scale of his breeding operation, Li Kaixin secretly made plans.

Currently, food consumption has reached one-fifth of the space's output. When consumption reaches two-thirds, the scale must be controlled.

As for the medicinal herbs collected in the morning, apart from the fifty-year-old ginseng planted together with the hundred-year-old ginseng, there were none.

The rest were planted randomly and left to grow naturally.

After carefully checking and organizing everything, I finally left the space, completely satisfied.

Li Kaixin did not return along the same route, but continued to explore in the general direction from which she had come.

Although there are fewer wild animals to see, the variety of medicinal herbs is much richer, and Li Kaixin is having a great time collecting them.

Along the way, they encountered a herd of wild donkeys and captured three of the cubs. They also hunted down four of the adult donkeys, bringing in another 600 jin (300 kg) of meat.

Just as they finished packing up their prey and were preparing to continue their journey.

suddenly

A mournful wail came from afar.

Li Kaixin immediately became alert, gripped the gun tightly, and quietly crept towards the direction from which the sound came.
