Chapter 341: Hunt, Enemy Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This cave was about 30 square meters in area. There were still traces of fire in the cave. There was also a flat big rock near the cave wall. Li Yu looked around and was extremely satisfied with this place. She prepared to stay here tonight.

She turned around and went out to cut a bundle of wild grass to clean up the cave. She cut a dead tree and dragged it to the entrance of the cave. After cutting it, she piled it at the entrance of the cave. She found some wormwood and burned a fire to place it on the fire. Soon, the cave was filled with the fragrance of wormwood. Li Yu waited for the smoke to dissipate before taking down the hanging pot and bringing it into the cave.

She entered the cave and lit a fire at the entrance. She washed it with hot water in the cave and took out the sleeping bag to lay on the stone to rest for a while. When she walked out of the cave, it was already dark. Li Yu went out to dig out the cooled beggar’s chicken from the pit and took it into the cave. She knocked open the wrapped soil. The chicken feathers fell clean with the yellow mud, and the fragrance of the beggar’s chicken assaulted her nose.

Li Yu tore off a drumstick and ate it. The texture was fragrant and refreshing. As she ate, she thought about roasting it for her son to try after going down the mountain.

After eating more than half of the pheasant, she felt full. Li Yu chose the remaining delicious parts and tore them off and placed them in her space.

Li Yu felt waves of fatigue assault her. She walked to the entrance of the cave and dug a pit to bury the remaining meat and chicken bones. She took a few wooden sticks and blocked the entrance of the cave. She added a few thick dead tree trunks to the fire before crawling into her sleeping bag and falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, she heard wolf howls from the valley, the sound of insects outside the cave, and the hair-raising cries of the owl. Li Yu narrowed her eyes and listened quietly to the strange sounds coming from outside the cave. After a while, she slowly came out of her sleeping bag and added a few pieces of firewood to the fire. She went back to lie down and listened for a while before falling asleep again.

The next day, Li Yu heard the cry of wild deer outside the cave at dawn. She tiptoed to the entrance of the cave and saw a group of wild deer drinking water by the stream. She saw them jumping and playing happily beside the stream.

Li Yu squatted at the entrance of the cave and took out a crossbow from the space. She half-squatted and aimed at the fat wild deer. The crossbow’s mechanism sounded as the crossbow bolt tore through the air. In an instant, it hit a few wild deer. The wild deer that were shot by the crossbow bolt fell to the ground, and the others fled in all directions.

Li Yu quickly took away the wooden stick blocking the entrance of the cave and jumped in front of the fallen wild deer. She picked up the wild deer and placed it in the space before returning to the cave to pack her sleeping bag and hanging pot. She washed up briefly, ate a few pieces of rice balls, and drank some rice soup. She left the cave and walked higher and deeper.

There were few people in the deep mountains and old forests. The shady forest was quiet and lively. Birds jumped around on the branches and sang happily. They stood on the mountaintop and looked at the clouds in the distance like a paradise.

There was also a lot more prey in the mountains. When she walked to the sun, Li Yu had already hunted more than ten pheasants and picked up some wild eggs, a few deer, and two forest musk.

Li Yu had just put a wild goat into her space when she looked up and saw a lone wolf standing about five feet away. It was looking at her sinisterly and had already put on an attacking appearance.

Li Yu raised her machete and watched it confront her coldly. Li Yu and wolf stood there motionless. Only the wind rustled the leaves. Suddenly, a hare darted out of the forest. The lone wolf pounced at Li Yu at lightning speed. Li Yu retreated, dodged, and jumped up. The lone wolf twisted its body and pounced at Li Yu again.

Li Yu stepped on the tree trunk and jumped up. She slashed the lone wolf’s waist from above. The typical characteristic of a wolf was its copper head, iron claws, and tofu waist. The lone wolf was slashed on the waist by Li Yu and fell to the ground with a howl.

Li Yu put the wolf into her space. Worried that there would be more wolves, she auickly walked towards the open area.

After walking for a while, she found a few dark purple wild lingzhi at the root of a big tree. The big ones were the size of medium-sized dishes, and the small ones were the size of small dishes.

Just as Li Yu plucked the lingzhi and placed it in her space, she heard a man’s voice coming from the mountain beam. Li Yu hid behind the tree and listened attentively. She was too far away to hear what they were saying. Li Yu quietly hid behind the tree and listened to the discussion get closer and closer. She realized that she couldn’t understand what the two of them were talking about. In between, she understood the words “Mount Spindle”, “Great Yong”, and “Yunzhou”.

Li Yu hid behind the big tree and saw that one of them was tall and carrying a big bag. He was tall and agile, and the other was short and thin.

Li Yu looked at the two of them standing there and looking at the terrain. The tall man used a pen to write and draw on the booklet, and the thin man made marks along the way. Li Yu felt that the two of them were most likely here to check the route. She secretly guessed that the two of them were spies of Great Qi. Thinking that Mount Spindle was near Great Qi’s territory, she felt that Great Qi had found the route to cross Mount Spindle and was prepared to catch the garrison of Yunzhou off guard.

When the two of them walked past, she saw the short man walk ten feet in front and bend down to leave a road sign. Behind him, the tall man lowered his head and focused on writing and drawing. Li Yu held the crossbow and aimed it at the tall man. She quickly pulled the trigger from her leg. The sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air alarmed the tall man. The man looked up in shock at the crossbow bolts flying toward him. The man quickly dodged. The crossbow bolts came up one after another. In the blink of an eye, the man was shot in the legs and stomach. He fell to the ground in pain. The man endured the pain and raised his sleeve arrow to counterattack.

The thin man, who had already walked to the front, pulled out his long saber and shouted as he turned around to run towards the tall man. Li Yu dodged the sleeve arrows shot by the man and shot the crossbow bolts in her hand one by one. The tall man was shot in the legs and stomach and staggered as he squatted on the ground.

After the arrow stopped, the thin man raised his machete and rushed toward Li

Yu. The tall man lay on the ground and raised his sleeve arrow to shoot at Li Yu.

Li Yu hid behind a large rock and switched to a crossbow from her space to continue shooting. An arrow hit the thin man’s chest. The thin man clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

The tall man had also finished shooting the sleeve arrows. He punched the ground hatefully and looked at the booklet that had fallen in front of him. He wanted to go forward and destroy it. Li Yu jumped in front of him and snatched the booklet.

“It’s actually a woman.” The man glanced angrily at the booklet in Li Yu’s hand and looked at Li Yu fiercely. His tone was stiff. “Who are you? How did you discover us?”

Li Yu looked at him coldly. “Who are you? You don’t look like you’re from Great Yong.” When the man heard Li Yu’s words , he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Li Yu held the dagger and looked at him. Her tone was certain. “You’re Qi soldiers, and you’re here to investigate the route. Tell me! Is Great Qi going to attack Great Yong?”

The man opened his eyes and looked at Li Yu disdainfully. His tone was arrogant. “All the men in Great Yong are like women. Great Yong’s army is also a group of weak women. Just you wait. Great Qi will dominate the world sooner or later..”
