Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 18 Don’t Shoot

Translator: 549690339

The earth mound was about the height of a man, bare at the top, but from the midsection down, it began to sprout a profusion of weeds, which, at first glance, looked like the troubled expression of a middle-aged man…

It was absolutely an ideal habitat for wild rabbits!

Bi Fang commanded the drone to come closer, whispering.

“Take a look at that earth mound—the view is unobstructed at the top, which is convenient for observation, and the bottom is thick with weeds, perfect for hiding. This is an excellent spot for rabbits to conceal themselves.”

[Have we found it already?]

[This mound of soil… feels like it’s been offended]

[Are you a programmer? (joking)]

[This slope, it’s very smooth.]

[Brilliant, it’s like a Bulbasaur eating Bugles in Mickey Miao Miaohu, perfectly amazing]

“To catch animals, you must not overlook any detail, otherwise, all your effort will be for naught, especially with regards to sound, scent, and wind direction—these are all critical factors.”

Bi Fang stretched out his hand, sensed for a moment, and nodded, “It’s a downhill wind, the direction is favorable; this wind won’t carry our scent to the mound. You know, rabbits not only have an acute sense of hearing, but their sense of smell is equally strong.”

“Moreover, herbivores have a field of vision of up to 280 degrees, with only blind spots of 80 degrees on the front and back, so we must not enter their field of vision. It’s best to approach from behind or directly from the front; otherwise, we will have wasted the entire half-day, and I can’t afford that.”

“Alright, let’s go over there and take a look, maybe the rabbit is right there!”

Having said that, he started taking small steps towards the mound.

But he hadn’t walked two meters.

Suddenly, a sporadic rustling noise came from the direction of the mound!

Something was moving!

Regardless of whether it was a rabbit or not, there was definitely a creature stirring by the mound!

This wasn’t the sound of wind rustling the grass; the noise was localized at that point—it had to be a living creature!

Bi Fang closed his mouth, his breathing gradually slowed, his chest rising and falling smoothly and powerfully, and his whole body’s movements became soft. His right hand unconsciously touched the Stone Spear on his back, his muscles tensed, appearing relaxed but in reality, taut as a full moon bow!

The wind carrying the sound brushed past his ear, like skimming over a still stone statue.

Rustle rustle rustle.

It moved again!

And this time, it was even closer!

Ten meters? Or eight?

Bi Fang’s ears twitched as he tried desperately to discern the distance while signaling with two hand gestures to the drone.

These were tactical hand signals he’d learned from a retired veteran in his previous exploration team

In this situation, it wasn’t convenient for him to speak, so he could only hope that there were viewers in the live stream who understood these signals.

[What’s with Master Fang, why has he suddenly become so tense?]

[Idiot, didn’t you hear something moving?]

[I recognize that hand signal, it’s used in special forces combat, indicating something ahead, Master Fang must have spotted something. If I’m not mistaken, there was a rustling noise just now.]

[Ah, is this confirmation that he’s a special forces soldier?]

[666, you’re all so skilled, even the audience is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.]

[I dare not claim that, I’m just an ordinary military enthusiast.]

Suddenly, hundreds of viewers became excited, many switching to a first-person perspective, watching the almost motionless image as if they were the ones hunting, instinctively holding their breath as if a breath in front of the screen would startle the creature millions of miles away.

Master Fang had not eaten much for two whole days, and the thought alone made many viewers’ stomachs ache.

If he failed now, who knew when the next opportunity would be.

So it was natural for everyone to feel anxious for Bi Fang.

And Bi Fang felt it more acutely; no one knew what might spring out before seeing the creature with his own eyes.

A rabbit? A snake? Or even a wolf?

Anything was possible.

All fear comes from the unknown.

At that moment, as if the other side had discovered something, the rustling sound suddenly disappeared.

A silence as still as death.

The wind blew, the trees swayed, the grass moved, insects chirped, all these sounds seemed amplified, so loud as if they were exploding right by your ear!

“Whew…”

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

His strong and forceful heart thumped violently, pumping scalding blood throughout his body.

The veins on his forearm bulged as the muscles rose, the Short Spear in his hand creaking from his grip.

“Eh? Is he hunting something?”

Lu Junming logged into his Emperor account only to find that the streamer he was optimistic about didn’t seem to warmly welcome him, but was intently staring at a small mound in front of him.

It was well known that even if an Emperor account did nothing but stay in the live stream room, it could boost the heat by tens of thousands!

Yet, ten seconds, twenty seconds passed and not a single person showed shock or welcome at his arrival, not even a bird turned by the streamer towards him.

That didn’t make any sense, had the Emperor lost all presence these days?

What could be more important than welcoming his arrival?

To treat an Emperor account this way in a live stream room, you’re the first!

Lu Junming, who was used to being fawned over as a wealthy benefactor and thus satisfying his vanity, was very dissatisfied.

Just before, Lu Junming was about to switch accounts to log in when he was suddenly notified of a meeting, which caused him to be over an hour late, and in that short period, things had taken a turn he couldn’t comprehend.

[What’s he doing?]

Lu Junming tapped on the keyboard and sent this comment.

A gleaming golden comment floated past everyone’s eyes.

This was the exclusive comment feature for Emperors who spend over one hundred thousand a month!

But Lu Junming waited a moment and found that the streamer still didn’t move, as if he hadn’t seen it, with only a few viewers slightly surprised, welcoming this unfamiliar Emperor.

Ah, this…

What is with these people, is the streamer blind?

Pretending to hunt, and taking it seriously?

Lu Junming was deflated, feeling very frustrated.

In fact, Bi Fang really hadn’t seen it, as he was completely focused on hunting right now, where would he find the time to check the live stream room?

Seeing that there was no movement on the other side for a long time, Bi Fang decided to make his move!

He took out the Stone Dagger with his left hand and gripped it tightly, adjusted the weight of the Stone Spear in his right hand, and after making sure it felt right, he found a spot without fallen leaves and weeds to lightly place his foot.

Bi Fang loosened his toes, cautiously stepped forward, and seeing no reaction from the other side, he started to move closer step by step.

Ten meters.

Nine meters.

Eight meters.

The distance was shrinking, but just as he moved.

Suddenly.

A furry brown head, facing away from Bi Fang, poked out from the bushes.

Clank!

The hearts of all the viewers trembled in unison.

Bi Fang included – he abruptly stopped his movements, freezed on the spot.

It really was a rabbit!

But before the audience could even catch their breath, the tension ramped up again.

That wild rabbit actually turned its head!

Damn, it seemed like the rabbit had noticed something!

At this moment, Bi Fang, with most of his body exposed outside the bushes and only the front of his foot peeking out, had most of his body weight pressed on it.

So tiring!

Bi Fang felt an unbearable soreness in his toes, with a rush of blood flowing back up, turning his face beet red.

This distance was way too close, and for someone who was one meter eighty tall like him, it was not about hiding; even a slight movement of his toes could give him away. Given the rabbit’s speed, he had no chance of catching up if it noticed him!
