【beast servant points: 226】
【Beast Servants: Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet), Zi Er (Sable)】
Shi Lin, who was just excited and happy about the surge in beast servant points, was now looking at the dying Moose on the ground, debating whether to contract it.
He found that as long as he held a living animal in his hand or touched one that couldn't move much, the system would show a contract prompt.
This Little Moose in front of him had two bites on its neck, bleeding profusely, and its buttock area was also bitten several times, so deep that you could even see the bone.
If he contracted it right now and the Little Moose died immediately, he would lose out big time.
But if he didn't contract the Little Moose, three Wolves and one Little Moose, he couldn't possibly take them back.
Deep down, he still really wanted to contract this Little Moose. Having a Moose help carry things when going up the mountain would make things much easier for him and Fifth Sister. Also, he could take back larger prey he hunted in the future.
Another thing was Zi Er's leg injury. He always felt that Zi Er recovering so quickly was probably thanks to the system.
If he contracted the Little Moose now, maybe the Little Moose could also recover like Zi Er.
After agonizing for a while, Shi Lin finally made a decision.
"Contract!"
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for contracting a beast servant - Moose.】
【beast servant points: 4】
【Beast Servants: Jin Yi (Golden Ring Hornet), Zi Er (Sable), Moose (unnamed)】
Hiss, looking at the remaining four beast servant points, Shi Lin felt a little heartache.
Since binding the system, it seemed this was the first time his beast servant points were so low.
However, contracting the Moose this time also confirmed his guess: contracting beast servants could indeed heal their injuries to a certain extent.
The Moose, which was just dying, immediately sent out a wave of joyful emotions after being contracted by him.
"Moo moo~"
The Little Moose opened its mouth and called out a few times, gently nudged Shi Lin with its head, and struggled to stand up from the ground.
At first, it stumbled and couldn't stand steadily, but after a while, it could stand normally on its own.
It was clear that the injuries inside its body were recovering rapidly.
Although it still looked quite miserable, it was actually much better. The wounds on its body were no longer bleeding and were starting to scab over.
Shi Lin stood by and watched, his face showing some excitement.
It really can heal the beast servants' injuries and speed up their recovery!
In that case, could he give them some more dangerous tasks in the future?
Discovering another function of the system, Shi Lin was even happier, and in his excitement, he slapped the trunk of a nearby tree.
Crack!
A tree trunk about the thickness of an adult's arm was slapped by Shi Lin, and with a crack, it broke.
"Ah this... what the heck?!"
Shi Lin stared blankly at his hand and the tree trunk he had just slapped. What was going on?
He didn't even use much force?!
Broke an arm-thick tree trunk with one slap?!
Crack crack crack!
Shi Lin tried on other trees nearby and was amazed to find that his strength had increased significantly!
Not just strength, but also speed, physical resilience, etc. He had suddenly improved in all aspects!
"What the heck!"
Could this also be the system's doing?
Shi Lin suddenly recalled the process of taking honey today. He seemed to be much quicker than usual, and his hands and feet were more nimble. Could this be the improvement brought about by contracting Zi Er?
And now he has contracted the Little Moose, which directly caused his physical fitness to improve in all aspects?!
"Could it really be like this?!"
"But when it was Jin Yi before, there didn't seem to be any improvement?"
Shi Lin was a little confused.
He thought about it by the riverbank for a while but couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he saw through Jin Yi that Fifth Sister, who had been waiting for him, was getting anxious and seemed to want to go into the Deep Mountain to find him.
Calculating the time, he had been in the Deep Mountain for nearly an hour.
"Go back, go back."
Anyway, becoming stronger was not a bad thing for him, so Shi Lin didn't bother to think about it anymore. He tossed the three Wolf corpses onto the Little Moose's back and headed back!
The Little Moose and Sable were already very fast, and Shi Lin's physical fitness had improved greatly, so he ran through the woods just as quickly.
It took him about half an hour to walk quickly on the way there, but only about fifteen minutes to return.
...
Shi Yuying had been waiting there for over an hour and was already impatient.
She wanted to go into the mountain to find Shi Lin but was afraid that Shi Lin would return by another path and they would miss each other. She had no choice but to suppress her impatience and continue waiting there.
Just as she was pacing back and forth boredly, she finally heard sounds coming from the woods not far away. Someone was approaching.
Shi Yuying's face lit up with joy, and she hurried towards that direction.
But after only a few steps, she stopped.
A creature with a donkey-like face and similar to a Xiao Niu calf was rapidly approaching her, and its back was bloody, with several Wolf corpses.
"This..."
Shi Yuying stepped back a few steps, gripping her sickle.
Just as she was considering whether to run away early, a purple figure leaped precisely from a nearby tree into her arms.
"Zi'er is back!"
Shi Yuying's face lit up with joy.
Immediately after, she saw Shi Lin appear before her, leading the creature with the donkey-like face similar to a Xiao Niu calf.
"Ah this... Lao Liu, did you lead this back? A donkey? Are those Wolves on its back? How did you get them back?"
Knowing that this thing was led back by Lao Liu, Shi Yuying was no longer so afraid. She actively stepped forward and observed the creature similar to a calf from left and right.
She clicked her tongue in wonder. Aren't wild animals like this hard to catch? How could Lao Liu lead it back?
And the Wolf corpses on its back, tsk tsk, three of them, all with their heads blown apart by a gun. It seems Lao Liu's marksmanship is indeed very good.
As the daughter of an Old Hunter, Shi Yuying could somewhat tell something from the situation, just not very professionally.
"Hehe, no rush, let's pack up first, I'll tell you as we walk."
"This time I did a good deed. Zi Er and I, one person and one beast, fought against the Wolves and saved this Little Moose..."
Shi Lin quickly packed up, putting the lighter items on the Little Moose. The four bags containing honeycomb and Zi Er's prey were temporarily carried by themselves.
After all, the Little Moose was indeed still young. Shi Lin estimated it was only about eighty pounds, probably less than half a year old, and it was also injured.
Shi Lin was also afraid that the bags would be too heavy and crush the Little Moose.
After packing up, they went down the mountain.
Shi Lin walked and told Shi Yuying about the process of saving the Little Moose just now, seven parts true and three parts false, which left Shi Yuying stunned.
...
The two went down the mountain and walked into the Village, passing by the fields.
It was still quite early, and many people were still busy in the fields.
Everyone saw the siblings carrying guns, each carrying two bags, and leading a Little Moose beside them, with several Wolves on the Moose's back.
Their faces were all filled with shock.
"Yu Ying, Linzi, did you two go hunting in the mountain?" An Aunt straightened her back and asked them.
Shi Lin knew this Aunt, she was his neighbor, Qing Hong Aunt.
Shi Lin smiled at her and replied:
"Yes, Qing Hong Aunt, we had good luck today. We hunted a few Wolves, and also some Wild Rabbits, Golden Pheasants, and the like."
As he spoke, he shook one of the bags on his back, letting everyone see the Wild Rabbits and Golden Pheasants inside.
However, everyone's attention was not on those things at all, but mainly focused on that Little Moose.
"Is this a Moose? Did you catch it in the mountain too? This thing is valuable. Someone caught a big one before and sold it for over 500 yuan..."
An Uncle directly put down the work in his hands and walked closer to look at the Little Moose, his face full of curiosity.
This thing is good stuff!
Antlers, deer penis, deer blood, deer hide, etc., it can be said to be full of treasures.
An adult Moose is worth a lot of money!
Even a small one should be able to sell for a good price.
Everyone listened to this Uncle's introduction and were all very envious, praising Shi Lin and Shi Yuying for being amazing, saying that a tiger father has no weak sons, and so on.
Seeing more and more people coming closer, Shi Lin responded speechlessly:
"We got lucky and met one that was just a few months old, so we managed to trick it back.
If we had met a big one, we might not have been able to come back.
Uncles and Aunts, please continue with your work, we'll head back first."
As he spoke, he pulled the Little Moose and walked away.
Shi Yuying also followed closely behind. She wasn't very used to being watched by so many people.
However, just a few steps after the two walked out of the crowd, they suddenly heard someone nearby panting heavily and calling out to them:
"Yu Ying Jie, Linzi Ge, quick, go home. Third Uncle and my father went to Xiahe Village to fight with the Liu Family!"
Turning their heads, good heavens, it was their cousin, Shi Yubo from Second Uncle's family!
Then the Third Uncle and his father he mentioned, weren't they Shi Lin and Shi Yuying's father and Second Uncle!
This... the Old man was stopped last night, but he still went to Xiahe Village today!
