182: Chapter 181 The Broken Bow, the Bearskin Coat

Early the next morning, as sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaves, scattering patches of golden light on the ground, it was as if nature had specially lit small blessing lamps for Lu Fan and An Lan.

Taking Da Hei with them, they set off on their hunting trip again, full of energy.

Not long after entering the mountain forest, good luck came one after another.

[Muntjac discovered ahead]

A plump Muntjac was grazing with its head down, completely off guard.

Lu Fan and An Lan exchanged a look, an unspoken understanding flowing between them. They crept forward slowly on tiptoe, every step cautious, for fear of disturbing this "gift from heaven."

Da Hei was also very sensible, lowering his body and following silently behind, looking just like a well-trained little special agent.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Fan struck decisively, an arrow shooting out like lightning and accurately hitting the Muntjac's vital spot.

The Muntjac didn't even have time to struggle before falling to the ground with a "thud," successfully becoming their prize.

Before they could cheer and celebrate, a "cooing" sound came from not far away.

[A Wild Chicken is approaching you] Lu Fan looked back and saw a colorful Wild Chicken strolling leisurely.

"Wait for me to lure it over, then you make your move."

Lu Fan whispered to the eager An Lan while taking out a few Nuts.

He slowly crouched down, opened his palm to reveal the Nuts, and called softly, "Little chicken, don't be afraid, come eat something good."

Lu Fan's Animal Affinity quietly activated, emitting a special vibration that only animals could perceive.

The Wild Chicken was attracted by the food and foolishly approached step by step, completely unaware that danger was imminent.

When the Wild Chicken entered range, only five or six meters away from them.

An Lan was quick-eyed and nimble-handed. She picked up the Bow and Arrow, and with a "swoosh," the arrow streaked across like a shooting star, pinning the Wild Chicken directly to the ground.

"Haha, I finally hit it!" An Lan shouted excitedly.

At this moment, one could almost hear the inner monologue of the fallen Wild Chicken: What did I do to deserve this!

The livestream room instantly became lively:

"666, this move of luring the enemy deep is brilliant!"

"Chicken: I'm really done for, I ran into a scammer."

"This isn't Wilderness Survival; it's clearly a sweet outdoor couple show."

"The Bonnie and Clyde duo, I love this combination so much!"

Da Hei was not to be outdone either, jumping around in the grass and returning after a while with a plump Wild Rabbit in his mouth.

He held his head high and wagged his tail like a rattle, as if showing off: "Look, I'm super brave!"

Just as they were immersed in the joy of the harvest, a herd of sheep appeared on the hillside ahead.

[Mountain Goat herd discovered]

Da Hei and Lu Fan noticed the movement at the same time.

As soon as Da Hei saw the sheep, he was instantly pumped up, dashing over like a black whirlwind.

Lu Fan also quickly drew his Bow and Arrow, preparing to take down one each with Da Hei.

Da Hei pounced and dodged within the herd, throwing them into chaos, and soon successfully took down a small sheep.

However, just as Lu Fan was about to release the arrow, an accident happened.

He confidently notched the arrow and drew the bow, but who knew the bow would "creak" like an overburdened old man, and the bow arm snapped with a "crack."

This sudden turn of events was like a balloon popping, leaving Lu Fan dumbfounded, still clutching the broken half of the bow with a dazed expression.

An Lan was startled and hurriedly grabbed Lu Fan's hand to check: "How is it? Are you hurt?"

Lu Fan shook his head, caught between laughter and tears, and said helplessly, "I'm fine. This bow really knows how to pick its time. Alright, let's call it a day; this prey is enough to last us a long time."

So, the two of them, along with Da Hei, dragged their heavy "spoils of war" back home, chatting and laughing along the way.

Back at the Shelter, they began processing the prey.

They cut half of a Wild Chicken to enjoy immediately, and carefully collected the feathers, intending to use them for fletching.

The remaining Muntjac and sheep were all carefully stuffed into the Storage Room.

Lu Fan rolled up his sleeves and started a fire, preparing to show off his culinary skills.

An Lan helped from the side, cutting the fresh Wild Rabbit into small pieces for stewing.

Da Hei lay nearby, staring intently at the ingredients, licking his lips from time to time, his tail wagging happily on the ground.

Before long, an enticing aroma wafted from the pot.

The Wild Rabbit tumbled in the pot, the broth gradually thickening, and the fragrance filled the entire Shelter.

Meanwhile, the other half of the Wild Chicken was roasting over the fire. Grease sizzled as it dripped into the flames, making a "crackling" sound. The golden, oily skin looked mouth-watering.

"This smell—I bet the animals on the neighboring mountain are crying from hunger," Lu Fan joked.

An Lan rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up: "You're so glib, but today's Wild Rabbit and Wild Chicken will definitely give us a hearty meal."

The food was served, and the two feasted. The Wild Rabbit meat was tender and melted in the mouth; the Wild Chicken skin was crispy and the inside was juicy. They ate heartily.

Da Hei also got his wish, receiving a few bones, and gnawed on them with great relish in the corner.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Fan began to study the broken bow.

He examined the break carefully, frowning slightly: "This bow broke too completely. It seems it wasn't sturdy enough; I'll have to make a new one."

An Lan was helping clear the dishes and, hearing this, said, "Exactly. Out with the old, in with the new. Let's make a more powerful one that will definitely hit the mark every time!"

Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement: "You're right! We'll start tomorrow; first, let's get the materials ready."

In the evening, Lu Fan checked the bear skin he had dried earlier. It was ready for use, so he gave it to An Lan to use as a blanket.

An Lan gently stroked the bear skin, the soft texture transmitted from her fingertips. Her face beamed with a happy smile: "Wow, this is so warm. It feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace."

Seeing An Lan's satisfied look, Lu Fan's heart also felt warm. He smiled and said, "Use it as your blanket from now on. It doesn't have much of a smell either. I know you're afraid of the cold."

Da Hei leaned in and rubbed his head against the bear skin, seemingly wanting to feel the warmth too.

Lu Fan gently patted Da Hei's head: "Scram, go sleep in your dog bed."

Soon, the two went back to their rooms and lay down.

An Lan's face was full of smiles.

Seeing that An Lan liked it, Lu Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said cheekily, "Such a warm blanket, I want to experience it too. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Hearing this, An Lan's cheeks flushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up as she jokingly scolded, "In your dreams! Get lost."

In the livestream room:

"Great God Lu Fan's calculations are so loud I can hear them from here."

"So envious, a bear skin!"

"Have you guys noticed? Recently, more of those leaders have been wearing bear skins."

"Yesterday, some rich heir was livestreaming their family's illegally kept Brown Bear. The account got banned after just two minutes."

"Wasn't it said that the Brown Bears were properly handled and distributed to the public?"

"A few days ago, I saw a bottle of Red Wine and poured a glass.

I took a look—hey! It was green!

Why was the Red Wine green when poured?

In the past, Red Wine liked to have copper labels inside, but over time, once it comes into contact with external oxygen, the copper undergoes a chemical change, and it turns green when poured.

So it's not a problem with the Red Wine, but with the copper inside."

"Impressive, you dare to post it, and I barely dare to watch."

As night fell, all things fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the stars shining brightly.

"Can we really not sleep together?"

"Scram."

"Alright~"
