I Have Awakened The Deduction System

65 Chapter 65



Ever since the rescue of the mother and daughter, similar incidents had occurred more and more often.

They were a group of people who couldn't stand the hunger and had no other choice but to come over to test the waters.

When they saw the white grain in front of them, it would be a lie to say that they weren't excited.

However, He Chuan gave these people a smaller share.

Other than the standard of wood and bedding, which was the same as that of the mother and daughter, the food was given out daily.

Want to eat your fill?

Then come to the City Lord's Manor on time and report.

He Chuan deeply understood that humans were lazy animals.

Only pressure could force them to move forward.

They could not give out all their food at once.

Although the people were wary, as ordinary people, how could they expect to reach this level?

After making sure that He Chuan did not have any tricks on the surface, they were delighted, and their respect for Hhe Chuan also rose.

As more and more people received favors, the reputation of He Chuan among the people in the city improved day by day.

Now that they could eat and wear well, the overall crime rate had dropped a lot.

It was also at this time that everyone's lives gradually returned to normal.

They began to contribute to the construction of the city.

However, most people had nothing to do because of the departure of the businessmen.

Only a small number of people with special skills gathered together and spontaneously formed a team under He Chuan's jurisdiction.

Among them were hunters who were familiar with hunting and could move in the forest.

Under the guidance of He Chuan, the City Lord, they went out of the city to collect wood and other materials.

On one hand, they could store them so that the people in the city could keep warm when they needed them.

On the other hand, they could also let other people who had nothing to do create city defense traps outside the city.

Although it was unrealistic to use these things to fight against the strange beasts of this world, He Chuan's main purpose was to spread his wealth.

There was no point in keeping resources in his hands. Only by spending them would he be able to obtain a greater profit.

However, if he often walked by the river, how could his shoes not get wet?

On a calm winter day.

As usual, a hunting squad was searching for usable firewood in the forest not far away from Glory City.

They didn't dare to cut the wood. The noise would attract the attention of the exotic beasts. By then, no one would be able to escape.

They could only search carefully for the fine firewood buried in the snow in the white world.

But today wasn't their lucky day.

After going deep into the forest for some time, the snow fell heavily.

Almost every second, countless snowflakes fell, covering the footprints they had left when they came.

Some experienced hunters sensed the danger.

If this went on, they might get lost in the woods.

They had no choice but to finish their work early and return to Glory City.

But an even more unfortunate thing happened.

They didn't know when, but an unknown beast had already set its eyes on them.

Its body was tall and mighty. Its tail alone was two meters long, even thicker than a child's body.

Its head was abnormally fierce, and its sharp teeth were exposed. It was even stained with dark red blood and minced meat, making people shudder.

No one would doubt whether it had the ability to pierce through its own bones.

Such a huge creature was blocking their way back, ready to attack at any time.

The hunters were stunned.

Weren't strange beasts very territorial?

They wouldn't easily leave their own territory, much less enter the territory of other creatures.

How could they encounter such a strong exotic beast in such a place not far from Glory City?

Could it be...

That the beast tide was ahead of schedule?

This thought gave them a fright, but they couldn't panic now. Only with enough reason could they survive in front of the strange beast.

"Don't panic! Don't turn your back on it, stand up straight."

A middle-aged man was the first to speak, "There's blood on this beast's mouth. It should have just finished eating not long ago, perhaps it won't make a move on us. Follow me and slowly retreat."

Everyone followed his instructions.

As expected, the strangebeast still had some misgivings when faced with the cautious actions of so many people.

From time to time, it would let out threatening roars, trying to scare away one or two cowards, and then tear the group in front of it into pieces from its weak point.

But the result disappointed it.

Those who could stand here were all experienced hunters. More or less, they had all experienced similar situations. Their mental fortitude was strong enough, and they knew how to deal with it.

Even if they were scared to death in their hearts, they could still maintain a relatively calm appearance, and wouldn't be a burden at the crucial moment.

As time passed, the group of people shuttled back and forth in the forest.

They tried to use this method to exhaust the patience of the strange beast and give up on the hunt.

Unfortunately, the strange beast didn't seem to want to leave just like that. It had been following closely in the dark.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and their vision started to become blurry.

The hunters only realized later that they had lost their way.

"No, we have to find a place to hide from the snow."

The middle-aged hunter made a prompt decision. He looked around and said, "If we follow the mountain wall, we should run into a cave. At that time, we'll use thorns to seal the entrance of the cave and set up a bonfire to scare this beast!"

The other hunters all felt that it was feasible.

However, someone still raised a question.

"What if there are strange beasts in the cave as well? Then wouldn't we be feeding them directly to the mouths?"

"Most of the exotic beasts living in the cave are currently in hibernation. We just need to be careful."

"What if it's not a hibernating strange beast?"

"If our luck is really that bad, then we'll just accept it!"

The middle-aged hunter glanced at him, "Are we going or not? If there are any objections, we'll go our separate ways."

The person who answered could only grit his teeth, "Alright!"

The strange beast was extremely fast. It was impossible for them to escape.

Thus, a dozen or so people slowly advanced along the dark cliff.

The strange beast was still lurking in the nearby forest.

Although it didn't show itself, everyone knew that it definitely hadn't gone far.

Not long after, they finally found a cave. They quickly drilled into it and set up a defensive structure in the shortest time possible.

As the bonfire lit up, the pungent smoke formed a barrier, protecting the hunters in the cave.

"Sigh..."

Everyone looked at the strange beasts outside that didn't approach them and heaved a sigh of relief.

"They should be fine now."

"En, let's explore the situation inside the cave first and see if there's any other way out."

"Two people, come with me!"

"Wait, what do you think that is?"

A young man suddenly pointed to a certain spot in the cave.

The others all looked over.

There seemed to be something flickering with the light of the fire, reflecting a weak luster.

Was it the eyes of a strange beast?
