Chapter 18: Please don’t shoot

The earthen mound was about the height of a person, with a bald top and dense wild grass growing from the middle down, making it look like the mid-life crisis of a middle-aged man…

This was definitely an ideal habitat for wild rabbits!

Bi Fang instructed the drone to approach and said softly, “Look at that mound, it has a wide view on top, making it convenient for observation, while the dense grass at the bottom is perfect for hiding. This is simply an excellent hiding spot for wild rabbits.”

They found it already?

This mound… feels offended.

Are you a programmer? (smirky face)

This slope is very smooth.

Amazing, truly amazing, like Bulbasaur eating Doritos in Mickey’s magical house, incredibly amazing.

“To capture animals, no detail can be overlooked, otherwise it’s like fetching water with a bamboo basket. In particular, sound, smell, and wind direction are key points.”

Bi Fang stretched out his hand, sensed for a moment, and nodded: “It’s the downhill wind; the wind direction is favorable, and it won’t carry our scent to the mound. You should know that not only do rabbits have great hearing, but their sense of smell is also not weak.”

“Additionally, the field of view of herbivorous animals is up to 280 degrees, with only two 80-degree blind spots in the front and the back. So we must not enter its field of vision and preferably approach it from the back or the front, otherwise all our efforts today would be wasted, and I cannot bear it.”

“Alright, now let’s see over there, the rabbit might be there!”

After he finished speaking, he took small steps towards the mound.

But before taking two steps,

suddenly, a sparse shaking sound came from the other side of the mound!

Something is moving!

Regardless of whether it’s a rabbit or not, there is definitely something alive on the other side of the mound!

This is not the sound of wind blowing through the grass, the noise is only coming from that point, it must be a living thing!

Bi Fang closed his mouth, his breathing gradually steadied, and the rise and fall of his chest were smooth and powerful. His movements became gentle, and his right hand unknowingly reached for the stone spear on his back. His muscles were contracted, and his entire body appeared relaxed but was actually as tense as a full moon bow!

The wind carried the sound past his ears, like brushing over a still stone statue.

Shasha shasha.

It moved again!

Even closer this time!

Ten meters? Or eight meters?

Bi Fang’s ears twitched as he tried his best to discern the distance while simultaneously making two hand gestures to the drone.

He had learned these tactical gestures from a retired veteran in his previous adventure team.

Under the current circumstances, it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he could only hope that there was a viewer in the live stream room who understood them.

Why did Brother Fang suddenly get tense?

Stupid, didn’t you hear something moving?

I recognize that hand gesture; it’s used by special forces during operations, indicating that there’s something ahead. Brother Fang must have discovered something; if I didn’t mishear, there seemed to be a rustling sound just now.

Ah, is this concrete proof that he’s a special forces soldier?

666, everyone is an expert, even the audience is full of hidden talents.

I’m just a simple military enthusiast, nothing more.

The excitement spread among the hundreds of viewers instantly. Many switched to first-person perspective, watching the almost static scene as if they were hunting themselves. They unconsciously held their breath, feeling as if their breath could disturb the creature thousands of miles away.

It’s been two days; Old Qin hasn’t eaten anything substantial in two whole days. Many viewers thought it was enough to make their stomach hurt.

If he fails now, who knows when the next opportunity will come?

So naturally, everyone was tense for Bi Fang.

And Bi Fang was even more so. No one knew what creature they would encounter until they laid eyes on it.

Rabbit? Snake? Or even a wolf?

Anything was possible.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown.

At this moment, it seemed like the other party had discovered something. The rustling sound suddenly disappeared.

Dead silence.

As the wind blew and the trees swayed, the small noises from the grass and insects seemed to be amplified, as if they were exploding right next to your ear!

‘Phew…’

Bi Fang exhaled deeply, trying to stabilize his surging emotions.

His strong heart was pounding intensely, sending hot blood coursing through his body.

His veins bulged on his forearm, the short spear in his hand cracking under the pressure of his grip.

“Hm? What’s he hunting?”

Lu Junming logged onto his emperor account, but found that the streamer he had taken an interest in didn’t seem excited to welcome him. Instead, he was completely focused on staring at a small mound of dirt in front of him.

Even an emperor account that does nothing but stay in the live broadcast room could bring tens of thousands of people to watch!

But ten seconds, twenty seconds passed. No one seemed shocked or delighted by his arrival, and the streamer paid him no attention.

It didn’t make sense. Had the prestige of an emperor account diminished in this day and age?

What could be more important than welcoming his arrival?

You’re the first one to treat an emperor account like this!

Lu Junming, who had always been treated like a wealthy patron and had his vanity satisfied, was displeased.

Previously, Lu Junming was about to switch accounts when he was suddenly called to a meeting. The meeting lasted for over an hour, and during that time, the situation had already progressed beyond his understanding.

‘What’s going on?’

Lu Junming typed on the keyboard, sending this message.

A dazzling golden message floated across everyone’s screen.

This was the exclusive message for those who spent over 100,000 a month-an emperor account message!

However, Lu Junming waited for a moment and saw that the streamer still hadn’t moved, seemingly oblivious to his message. Only a few of the viewers seemed mildly surprised and welcomed this unfamiliar emperor account.

What is happening? Are these people blind, or is the streamer just playing along with the hunting act?

Lu Junming was disheartened, his mood quite depressed.

In fact, Bi Fang really didn’t notice since his mind was entirely focused on hunting at the moment, and who had the time to watch the live stream?

Seeing that there was no movement on the other side for a long while, Bi Fang decided to take the initiative and strike!

He clenched a stone dagger in his left hand and adjusted the balance of the stone spear in his right hand. After making sure it was comfortable to hold, he found a spot without fallen leaves and weeds to gently step on.

Bi Fang loosened his toes and took cautious steps forward, noticing no reaction from the other side, he began to slowly inch closer, one step at a time.

Ten meters.

Nine meters.

Eight meters.

The distance was gradually shortening, but during his movement,

Suddenly.

A fluffy brown head popped out of the bushes, completely unaware of Bi Fang’s presence.

Gulp!

All the viewers’ hearts trembled in unison.

Including Bi Fang, he abruptly stopped his movements and froze in his tracks.

It really was a wild rabbit!

But the audience hadn’t even had the chance to relax, their emotions rose again in a tense manner.

The wild rabbit unexpectedly turned its head!

Damn it, it seemed as if the rabbit had discovered something!

At this time, more than half of Bi Fang’s body was exposed outside the bushes, with only the front half of his foot poking out, and the majority of his weight was pressing down on it.

So exhausting!

Bi Fang’s toes were unbearably sore and aching, a large amount of blood rushed back in his veins, making his face turn red from the strain.

The distance was way too close now. With his height of 1.8 meters, it was not just about hiding, even the slightest movement of his toes might give him away, and the chances of catching up with the wild rabbit’s speed were practically nonexistent!
