Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings
Chapter 33 Chasing the Otherworldly Deer
"I'm going to the forest to hunt and see if I can bring back some meat." Qin Chuan stood up and patted his pants.
Knowing that hunting was a dangerous activity, Lin Shishi asked, "Brother Chuan, why don't I come along?"
"No need, you stay at the camp and teach them how to knit, and also take care of Sister Fan. I can go by myself."
"Then be careful."
Yang Mimi peeked out from behind the stove: "Brother Chuan, get some extra, preferably a whole pig. Five people eat really fast, yesterday's fish is all gone today."
"Understood." Qin Chuan took the folding knife and headed towards the dense forest.
The sun was high in the sky, and the forest was as stuffy and hot as a steam room, with the buzzing of insects everywhere.
Qin Chuan activated his pupil technique and scanned the area.
Information within a 300-meter radius is constantly being reorganized.
The first hundred meters were filled with ferns and bushes, with the occasional small otherworldly rabbit darting by. The rabbits were so small, each weighing only a pound or two; even three wouldn't be enough for Yang Mimi to eat alone.
Qin Chuan continued to venture deeper into the area.
The terrain gradually became more complex, the trees grew taller, and the fallen leaves and moss on the ground became thicker. A damp, humid smell permeated the air.
After walking for about thirty minutes, the pupil technique suddenly popped up a new message.
[Large creature activity 280 meters ahead. Type: Otherworldly Deer. Quantity: 1. Capture Level: Level 3. Food Grade: Common. Physical Characteristics: Strength 30, Speed 40, Health 100. Notes: This creature is docile but timid and easily startled; it will flee at high speed if frightened.]
Qin Chuan hasn't figured out the concepts of [Catch Level] and [Ingredient Level] yet.
All I knew was that I had found my prey.
Capture level 3. The wild boar I killed before was only level 2, this elk is a higher level than the wild boar.
Qin Chuan quickly calculated in his mind.
Strength 30, Speed 40, Health 100.
My current strength is 40 and my speed is 33.
In a head-on confrontation, he has a slight advantage in strength, but he can't match his speed. With 100 health points, this guy is twice as durable as a wild boar.
The damage from Burning Heaven is twice the strength, which is 70 points. One Burning Heaven attack only reduces health by 70 points, leaving the deer with 30 health remaining.
One shot isn't enough to kill.
But if you can catch up with it and unleash another attack after the Burning Heaven cooldown lasts 60 seconds, then you've got it in the bag.
The problem is, the elk's speed is 40, while yours is only 30. You can't catch up.
We need to find a way to force them into a corner.
Qin Chuan squatted down and analyzed the surrounding terrain from the scanned image of his pupil technique.
The elk is currently in an open woodland 280 meters ahead, surrounded by several animal trails, one to the north and one to the south, a stream to the east, and dense bushes to the west.
If you go around from the south, block the animal trails on the south side, and then approach head-on, the elk should be startled and run north.
Qin Chuan had scanned the beast path to the north when he passed by before; it ended at a cliff and rock wall, making it impassable.
Qin Chuan had made up his mind about the plan.
He crouched low, trying to make as little noise as possible, and circled south along the edge of the bushes. His folding knife was in his hand, and his footsteps rustled softly on the thick layer of dead leaves.
After circling for about five minutes, Qin Chuan arrived at a location about 100 meters south of the elk.
In the scene depicted by the pupil technique, a deer was leisurely grazing on the grass in the middle of the forest.
This creature is quite large. It is at least three meters long and over 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder, with short, brownish-red fur that gleams in the sunlight. It has a pair of beautiful, forked antlers on its head, at least half a meter wide. Its four legs are long and powerful, with clearly defined muscles.
Judging by appearance, he must weigh over 600 pounds.
Qin Chuan muttered to himself.
Qin Chuan confirmed that his retreat route to the south had been blocked, and then began to advance head-on.
He straightened up, no longer hiding, and strode towards the deer.
Several dead branches underfoot were broken, making a "crackling" sound.
The deer's ears suddenly stood up.
It raised its head and saw Qin Chuan walking towards it from not far away, and its whole body stiffened.
Qin Chuan stopped about fifty meters away.
The man and the deer stared at each other for two seconds.
Then the deer suddenly turned around, took off running, and headed north.
Qin Chuan immediately followed and pursued at full speed.
The difference between a speed of 30 and a speed of 40 is obvious. When a deer runs, its four hooves fly, and each step can cover several meters, creating a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and chased after him desperately.
Fortunately, he knew the route. The animal trail to the north became narrower and narrower, and the bushes on both sides grew denser. As the deer ran, it realized the road ahead was difficult to navigate and began to make a sharp turn.
Qin Chuan took a shortcut, passing through the bushes and shortening the distance.
The deer was clearly panicked; it ran around wildly in the dense forest for a while, heading in increasingly different directions.
Qin Chuan kept close behind. Although he couldn't catch up with it in speed, his understanding of the terrain was far superior to that of the elk.
After chasing for about ten minutes, we arrived at the coastal rocky cliff area. It was surrounded by rocks on three sides, with only one way to retreat.
Qin Chuan was overjoyed and chased after them to the coastline.
The elk rushed out of the woods, stepped onto the beach, and then plunged headfirst into a depression below the rock wall.
Ahead are steep rock walls, to the left are reefs, and to the right are dense bushes.
There is only one road behind you.
Qin Chuan ran outside the depression, blocking their retreat.
The deer found itself trapped, its large, round eyes filled with fear. It panted heavily, its hooves pawing at the sand, its body constantly turning, trying to find a way out.
Qin Chuan stood about forty meters away.
That's too far; the range of the Burning Sky missile is 30 meters.
He walked forward step by step, thirty meters, that was enough!
Qin Chuan's eyes were fixed on the deer's body, and he roared inwardly.
Burn the heavens!
A warm current welled up from deep within his eyes and shot out in the direction of his gaze.
In an instant, white smoke rose from the short, brown fur on the elk's body.
"hiss--"
The fur was ignited by the high temperature, and flames shot up from the deer's back, waist, and neck at the same time, spreading to its entire body in just one or two seconds.
The deer let out a mournful cry.
It was engulfed in flames and began to charge wildly.
Its over 600-pound body charged straight toward Qin Chuan like a burning truck.
"not good!"
Qin Chuan reacted quickly. He pushed off with both legs and leaped more than two meters to the left, barely avoiding the deer's charge.
As the deer brushed past him, it brought with it a wave of heat, and the smell of burnt fur almost made him cough.
The deer burst out of the depression and scrambled around on the beach. The fire on its body burned brighter and brighter, its speed rapidly decreased, and its movements became unsteady.
But it didn't fall.
The 70 damage from the Heavenly Blaze, combined with the continuous burning flames, should have already taken away a significant amount of health. But this guy's 100 health points are indeed quite durable.
Qin Chuan checked the time. The cooldown time for Burning Heaven was 60 seconds.
He needs to wait a minute.
The deer struggled frantically on the beach, its flames crackling in the sea breeze.
It tried to run towards the sea, but it couldn't run anymore, and its legs gave way, causing it to kneel on the beach.
Qin Chuan took a few steps back to create some distance, while silently counting down the seconds in his mind.
Forty-five seconds, fifty seconds, sixty seconds, cooldown is over!
Qin Chuan's eyes locked onto the target once again.
Burn the heavens!
A second stream of heat shot out from the line of sight, hitting its target precisely.
This time the effect was even more intense. The deer had already had most of its fur burned off by the first Heavenly Burning, leaving its skin directly exposed. The second Heavenly Burning acted directly on the exposed flesh.
The deer convulsed violently and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The enormous object, weighing over 600 kilograms, crashed onto the beach, kicking up a large cloud of sand.
The four legs twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Qin Chuan gasped for breath, his hands supporting his knees, and bent over to catch his breath for a while.
After chasing for more than ten minutes and enduring another minute of agonizing waiting, I felt both tense and excited, my adrenaline soaring to the sky.
He straightened up and walked to the deer carcass.
The charred fur emitted a burnt smell, and the skin had extensive burn marks, but the meat should still be edible. The damage from the Fiery Sky was concentrated on the surface and internal biological levels; the muscle and fat inside should not have been completely burned away.
"Great, we'll have meat for dinner tonight."
Just as Qin Chuan finished reading those words, a voice suddenly came from above his head.
"Who?"
