Chapter 19: Dizzy!
Chapter 19: Dizzy!
Gao Jing stayed by the Mountain Stream for three days.
He also lived in the tree hut for three nights.
On the first night of camping, he slept for only three or four hours, and he slept lightly.
He stayed alert all the time, and only slept deeply a bit near dawn.
On the second night, he slept longer, but still not very deeply.
Only on the third night did Gao Jing truly rest fully, just like usual.
This was because he now had a sharp feel for danger even in deep sleep!
Normal people clearly could not have such a power.
But Gao Jing solved this big problem troubling him in just three nights!
This was the special ability the Crimson Snake gave him.
The power of the snake blood did not stop there; Gao Jing also found that if he purposely aimed his feelings at a target, he could let out a special kind of air that put invisible fear on it!
The farthest this air fear could reach was twenty to thirty meters.
Before, Gao Jing had used this to scare a big grey mouse badly.
Later, he also scared away dozens of birds, three rabbits, and a large water snake.
For three days, he used his drone to search the area within five kilometers, and found many wild animals.
Birds, rabbits, deer, buffalo, and even a lone wolf.
But overall, it was not very dangerous around the campsite; that lone wolf was just passing by and soon disappeared.
With not much danger, Gao Jing also did not find anything valuable.
He had gone into the Great World four times now, but until this moment, he had not earned a single cent; in fact, he had lost over two hundred thousand yuan.
To be strict, there were indeed some valuable things.
Like wood; cutting down any big tree could give thousands of cubic meters of timber.
But the problem was, without talking about chopping and moving it, selling it in the Primary World was tough.
At least, the type and source could not be explained.
Also, the fish in the Mountain Stream were many and really easy to catch; their meat color and pattern looked like salmon, but the taste was much better.
But while he could enjoy eating them, taking them to the Primary World to sell did more harm than good.
Gao Jing also had no wish to be a wood dealer or fish dealer.
The Bronze Anchor Silver Scales only had six pieces left, and he did not know if they could be refilled; using such a precious chance to earn such small money was like being kicked in the head by a donkey!
But right now, Gao Jing did not have a strong need to make money.
In truth, the good things he had gained were beyond what money could measure.
In another way, Gao Jing had already made a huge profit!
On the morning of the fourth day, after waking up in the tree hut, Gao Jing quickly packed the tent and sleeping bag into his Storage Space.
After eating a simple breakfast, he hopped across the rocks in the Mountain Stream to the other bank.
He set off toward the grassland ahead.
With the Silver Scales getting less and less, Gao Jing had to hold onto every precious chance to travel.
He did not want to stay in this safe spot anymore, just watching the view bored and wasting life.
Chances had to be seized, and he needed to search for them himself!
The field was huge and endless, with tall grass easily covering Gao Jing’s legs, blocking his way.
Now and then, bugs and grasshoppers burst out from the grass, scared and running.
They feared the air coming from Gao Jing and scattered to escape.
Gao Jing walked east the whole way.
He rested every two hours or so; besides drinking water and eating to get his strength back, he also flew his Mavic2 drone to look around and guard against any dangers.
On the path, Gao Jing found a group of Horned Sheep.
There were over a thousand of them, crowded together closely.
One grown Horned Sheep stood at least ten meters tall at the shoulder, like a three-story building in the Primary World.
The most eye-catching thing was the cone-shaped single horn on each sheep’s head; it was thick and long, with the sharp tip looking very sharp.
So Gao Jing named them Horned Sheep.
Gao Jing did not disturb this group of grass-munching Horned Sheep and went around in a big circle to keep moving.
He walked from morning to afternoon, hiking on the grassland for over seven hours.
He guessed he had gone about thirty kilometers.
He sweated a lot from walking.
But for Gao Jing now, this exercise did not take much effort.
He was the man who set a new record in the marathon race.
Though it was not the world record.
Moo~
Just as Gao Jing was about to sit down for another rest, a loud, thunderous roar hit his ears!
The sound came from far away, full of strong anger!
Gao Jing quickly raised the high-power telescope hanging on his chest and looked toward the sound’s direction.
About five kilometers away, he saw a huge buffalo being hunted and hurt!
Gao Jing’s breath stuck at once.
He was not shocked by seeing the buffalo—it was five Giants doing the killing.
Giants over twenty meters tall!!
Before, Gao Jing had seen one buffalo come to the Mountain Stream to drink water, and it stuck in his mind.
So he easily guessed the height of those Giants.
But that did not matter.
Since coming to this Great World to explore and take risks, and after seeing all sorts of huge-sized plants and animals, Gao Jing had wondered if there might be smart beings here.
Now he finally had the answer!
All five Giants hunting the wild buffalo looked very old and simple, in how they dressed and their weapons.
They wore rough animal hides, showing their chests, arms, and thighs, with strong muscles under bronze skin bulging like explosions of power.
These Giants’ heads were all bald, with no hair; it was unclear if it was natural or shaven, and their scalps had grey-white weird patterns, a bit like primitive tribes in the Primary World.
Their weapons to attack the buffalo were Stone Axes and big sticks; three or four throwing spears were stuck in the buffalo’s body.
It was bloody all over.
Clearly, the Giants were winning the fight.
But the hurt buffalo did not give up; it glared with red eyes, lowered its head, and ran hard right and left on its four legs, panting heavily and trying to break out of the trap.
Even as strong as Giants, none dared to stand firm against its charge.
They yelled to each other and worked together, always stopping the buffalo’s escape tries and using their weapons to wound the prey more.
With strong interest in these ancient Giants, Gao Jing quietly crept about a hundred meters in their direction.
Then he jumped onto a log lying in the tall grass.
This kind of rotten wood was common on the plains; at six or seven meters high, it let Gao Jing see farther.
He would not be blocked by the grass.
He could see more clearly.
But Gao Jing did not see that under the dead wood grew a dense group of brightly colored mushrooms.
After only a short look, he suddenly smelled a sweet, nice scent.
Hmm?
Gao Jing sniffed the air.
Just as he wanted to find where the smell was coming from, he felt the sky and earth spinning around!
Not good!
Gao Jing turned very pale with fear right away.
But before he could send the “go back” thought to the Bronze Anchor, he was already completely unconscious.
He dropped down on the rotten wood like a dead pig.
