Chapter 889: Leveling Up Plan
A quiet night went by.
Luo Tian didn’t dare to move about during the night.
Early next day.
Luo Tian incinerated the leftover Mountain Wolf leg he didn’t eat before leaving the cave.
His goals were wild rabbits and wild chickens! It would be good if he could trigger some low level quests in the meantime.
After thinking through the night, Luo Tian came to the conclusion that his strength was too weak and fighting with Mountain Wolves was too dangerous. The only thing he could do now was to pick on some soft persimmons.
Apart from thinking about his leveling plan last night, Luo Tian also made some simple tools.
Back in his previous life, Luo Tian had grown up with mountains nearby. It was fairly simple for him to create some traps and hunting tools for him to use. Moreover, these simple hunting traps were easy to make, so he was able to make five of them last night.
But these tools were only made for those weak wild beasts. As for demonic beats, these tools were absolutely useless against them.
Luo Tian stealthily came to the side of a stream.
He checked out the surrounding terrain and found some footprints of wild beasts. He said to himself in joy, “It looks like there’ll be wild beasts around here!”
He then placed his hunting traps around and covered them with some dry gra.s.s.
After placing five traps, Luo Tian wasn’t going to wait without doing anything. He made those traps just to get some extra experience because just relying on them alone would be too difficult for him to level up. He would waste the entire day if his traps didn’t capture any wild beasts.
Luo Tian was never a person who placed all his eggs in one basket.
After settling the traps, he went to wash his face at the side of the stream. He surveyed his surroundings with caution since he was afraid a demonic beast would suddenly jump out from the trees.
As he was washing his face, a small health bar darted into his vision. Luo Tian exclaimed in joy, “A fish!”
“If there’s a health bar, that means there will be experience points!”
“d.a.m.n! This stream has a lot of fish! I’m going to be rich! Hahaha…” Luo Tian was instantly excited.
It was currently the spring season, and many fish were swimming upstream to sp.a.w.n. Luo Tian smiled to himself as he saw how packed the river was with fish. “There’s hope for me to level up! Hahaha…”
Even though these fish were to only give him one experience point, it would still be easy for him to level up in the Spirit Martial realm because there was a lot of fish in the stream.
As long as he levels up once, Luo Tian could deal with a Mountain Wolf at a less stressful pace.
Luo Tian was extremely excited but didn’t immediately jump into the stream. The water wasn’t deep, but it was impossible for him to kill a large number of fish that easily. If he caused too much disturbance, the fish would all swim away, and he wouldn’t be able to kill a single one.
“I don’t have a net…”
“Catching them barehanded won’t work well either.”
“I need to think of a way to catch a bunch of fish at a single time…” Luo Tian was in deep thought before recalling some things from his previous life.
There was a flash in his eyes as he exclaimed, “I got it!”
“But does this world have such a thing?”
Luo Tian’s face darkened as he realized the Ancient World might not have things Earth had. “I need to look around. Leveling up with these fishes should be the fastest option for me!”
Luo Tian immediately went back ash.o.r.e and went searching in the forest.
He was looking for a specific herb.
In his previous life, there was a herb called Derris trifoliata, where a white liquid would wash out from the roots. This liquid had trace amounts of toxin in it. If he were to place this white liquid in the stream, all the fish within a hundred meters of the stream would die.
When he was a child, he had seen this herb before and only watched the adults use it. Luo Tian never imagined he would be using such a thing in a foreign world.
But there was a possibility that this world didn’t have such a thing.
Luo Tian went everywhere to look for an hour.
Luo Tian sighed, “There really isn’t any. The Ancient World is the Ancient World, and Earth is Earth. I cannot mix them together. Even on Earth, it’s hard to find the Derris trifoliata herb. If I cannot find it, then I need to find some herb that has trace amounts of toxin.”
Not to mention spiritual herb, even normal herb was scarce in the surrounding.
This was the outer periphery of Martial Mountain, where not even a spiritual herb seedling would be spared. It wasn’t Luo Tian’s turn to find spiritual herbs, and one with poison at that.
Luo Tian was at a loss and kicked a loose rock flying. “Do I really have to get into the stream and catch them barehanded? That will be way too slow…”
The rock was sent flying.
“Bang~!”
The rock smashed into a tree, but Luo Tian ignored it. He was looking at his feet when his eyes suddenly widened. He then crouched down and exclaimed, “Wow! My luck is off the charts! Chunchun, are you, by chance giving me the power of luck right now?”
Below the rock was a young spiritual herb sprout that gave off a green fluorescent glow. The glow clearly represented the herb contained some type of toxin.
Luo Tian was instantly elated by this.
“I’m going to be relying on you to level up!”
Luo Tian carefully dug out the spiritual herb along with its tiny roots.
A spiritual herb absorbed yuan energy from heaven and earth.
It was the same with poisonous spiritual herbs.
Their rhizome, stalk, and leaves possessed yuan energy and toxins. Harvesting this toxin will allow the toxin to do its damage. The procedure was very simple and was just like working with the Derris trifoliata, where washing its roots will make the toxin come out.
But Luo Tian was somewhat worried. This was a spiritual herb the size of a thumb, so would its toxin be too weak?
“It doesn’t matter; I can only make do with what I have. I’ll take a look first and find another option if it really doesn’t work.” Luo Tian was a bit anxious upon thinking about the system rewards. He actually became excited about the power of X-ray vision, fantasizing how great it would be to level up fifty to sixty levels.
Luo Tian walked to the river and started washing the herb. He was softly praying: “Teacher Sola Aoi, please bless me. I’ll be counting on you this time.”
The stem broke apart, and green liquid started coming out.
Luo Tian washed it and flipped it around to wash it again. But after a while, there wasn’t any response from the stream. His heart sank as he said, “This strain of spiritual herb hasn’t matured yet, so maybe there isn’t enough toxin to poison the fish.”
“I need to find another way now.”
Just as Luo Tian stood up about to leave…
“Ding!”
The system suddenly gave off an alert tone. Luo Tian’s mind tightened as he focused on the message.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Carp. You have gained 1 experience point, 0 yuan energy…”
“Woa!”
“It’s useful!”
“Hahaha… Big sister system, I love you! Your voice is simply too beautiful!” Luo Tian almost jumped up in joy. It wasn’t easy. Half a day had pa.s.sed by, and he still hadn’t gotten any experience points. Now that he finally received one, the encouragement it gave him was simply too great.
This was just the beginning!
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing a Carp. You have gained 1 experience point, 0 yuan energy…”
“Ding, ding, ding…”
