How does the system work? This is a level 7 creature, shouldnt it be 7 points? asked Ye Lang. This question was often asked by participants, it made sense.

No, it doesnt work that way. Common wild animals- 1 point, difficult-to-catch wild animals- 2 points, magical beasts level 5 and below- 3 points, magical beasts above level 5- 5 points, Di Earth Level beasts- 50 points, Tian Heavenly Level beasts- 100 points, anything else would be a case-by-case basis, explained Li Yue.

To be honest, most people thought any creatures below the Di Earth Level were basically regular wild animals The ones who had such an opinion were of course warriors whod already attained the Di Earth LEvel.

The difference in points would just be their luck because one would have to be very lucky to meet a magical beast.

Also, although the beasts were classified as such in theory, a Level 9 warrior could most definitely kill a Level 9 magical beast. It would not be too difficult either because a beast was still an animal. It lacked the wisdom and cunning of a human.

Tian Level Di Level Why would these kinds of magical beasts appear in this area he asked casually.

Yeah, magical beasts are already rare, hunters are considered lucky if they encounter any. High-level beasts almost never appear, I cant believe how fortunate we are today to meet such a high-level one, said Li Yue mildly as she watched the soup boil in the pot.

Of course were lucky, I have my lucky stars! said Ye Lang. If Li Yue had known he was Ye Lang, she wouldve nodded. She did not respond to this statement.

A long time passed. The pot of soup smelled amazing. Li Yue and Ye Lang killed time with small talk, all merely boring and minor topics.

Li Yue didnt seem to be in a hurry to go hunt either. This was perhaps she did not care much for rankings, she just enjoyed the process of participation.

If she wasnt in a hurry, Ye Lang obviously wasnt either. He let the pot of soup broil longer so it would be richer as time passed.

In the end, Li Yue was the one who served the soup first or Ye Lang mightve waited at least half an hour more

Not bad.

When she drank the soup, she realised it had a simple fragrance. There were no complicated ingredients involved, there was beauty in its simplicity.

Of course, I made it! grinned Ye Lang with no hint of humility.

You dont act like a member of the fox tribe at all, you talk more like a shameless human, huffed Li Yue as she took another gulp of soup.

Im not from the fox tribe! Also, I do care about my pride too, said Ye Lang said solemnly.

Li Yue shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Conversation with him was sometimes exhausting! However, he was right. He wasnt from the fox tribe, the Fox clan had both human and beastmen blood in them and theyd been mixing with humans for generations now.

Alright, lets go.

After a satisfying meal, they packed and Li Yue stood up to announce they should leave soon. They still had to trek deeper into the forest.

There shouldnt be any more animals in the area because this was the territory of the wolf. No other animals would want to be here.

You go ahead, Ill catch up later. Ill clean up the area, in case we accidentally left any fire starters here. Then wed be in trouble, said Ye Lang.

Were done with that, weve packed everything. And weve already put out the fire with water, everything will be fine. Li Yue was the one who put out the fire, she was very sure about this.

Fine, I actually need to poop, said Ye Lang casually.

Her face turned red in an instant.

Hmmph, then I guess Ill go ahead first. Li Yue trekked ahead, face still red, and did not look back.

Ye Lang immediately dove behind a couple of trees as if he was going to poop.

However, if Li Yue followed him, shed realised he wasnt pooping at all. He was instead giving a girl some wolf soup.

Little Five, Little Five, come have some soup! Ye Lang whispered to Coldblood Five.

What the hell? Do your thing if you need to, came her angry response. It was obvious she thought he actually was going to poop and yet he was offering her soup.

Do what? Im here to give you some soup! Its still warm! I lied to make her leave, she wont come back here.

You lied? Youre actually offering me soup? asked Coldblood Five, surprised.

Ye Lang nodded. Yeah. I know you have food but warm foods better. Hurry, come eat. After he spoke, Coldblood Five had already emerged from the shadows.

She didnt speak, merely taking the soup from him.

What do you think? Its not as good as yours but it doesnt matter. I cant let them see you so you just have to drink this for the moment, said Ye Lang with a smile, sitting on the ground.

The soups great, she said coldly but her heart was warm. She hadnt expected Ye Lang to think of her, that hed left a bowl for her!

Although the soup wasnt as good as the soup she boiled, it was a different feeling- the different type of condiments he used and the warmth of kindness.

Alright, Ive got to go. Once she falls asleep tonight, we can go get supper. Ye Lang stood up to leave when he saw her finish her bowl of soup. He had to catch up to Li Yue before she strayed too far.

You idiot, she whispered gently. Her tone wasnt cold this time. It was gently. Then, she disappeared into the shadows once again.

Miss Li Yue, Im back, he called out as he caught up to her.

Have you washed your hands? she asked casually.

Wash my hands? Ye Lang didnt realise what she meant.

Please dont tell me you forgot to wash your hands. Li Yues expression darkened.

Oh! Yeah, of course I did! We have to wash our hands before and after meals, do you really think Im that unhygienic? Ye Lang finally remembered the excuse hed used.

Hmmph. Li Yue did not speak. Although she couldnt tell if hed washed his hands, based on how he was when he was slaughtering the wolf, she knew he was quite a clean person so she did not dwell on the topic.

And just like that, Ye Lang and Li Yue continued trudging ahead deeper into the forest. Soon after, the number of animals increased and Li Yue had the chance to show off her archery skills.

After Ye Lang killed the first wolf, he did not kill anything else. He was too lazy anyways. Li Yue was there and she could settle every animal in like, 2 seconds. She didnt need him to do anything.

After one day, their team accumulated 50 points. Although it wasnt much, it wasnt little either. Every day, the organisers would record the number of points per team/individual and update a scoreboard.
