Presently, Chen Chen wasn’t too far from the beast. Naturally, he allowed the bees to investigate carefully. He did not dare to let the bees attack, afraid that the timid animal would run away after being attacked.
He moved forward according to the direction pointed by the bees. At the same time, he could sense the bees hundreds of meters away that kept getting closer to the beast.
The land in this area was relatively flat, and there were many shrubs. Chen Chen could not see the beast at all, and he couldn’t assess its strength.
“It’s just a large serval. It should run when it sees me. Even if it attacks me, it shouldn’t be fatal.”
Although the bees sent vague information, the overall difference was not too big. The beast was at most the size of a serval. Chen Chen felt that he could handle it.
200 meters.
150 meters.
100 meters.
50 meters.
When he got closer to 50 meters, Chen Chen finally saw the appearance of the wild beast.
It was not a cat, nor was it a field mouse. It was medium in size… a fox.
The fox had its back to Chen Chen. It stopped and paced around the place.
Although he felt that he could not kill this fox, Chen Chen still wanted to try it.
Chen Chen lowered his body, bent down, and quietly approached the fox.
40 meters.
30 meters.
He got closer, and just as he was about to get 20 meters closer to the fox, it suddenly stopped in its tracks, twitched its right ear, turned around, and looked in Chen Chen’s direction.
“Oh no! I’ve been discovered.”
Seeing that the fox turning its head towards him, Chen Chen knew that he had been exposed. He immediately stopped hiding, raised his long saber, and rushed towards the fox.
At the same time, Chen Chen sighed in his heart. This fox was no field mouse. It would not go into a hole, and he definitely couldn’t catch up to the fox from such a distance.
At the same time, when the fox saw the hair on the back of Chen Chen’s neck standing up, it stared at him with its bloodshot eyes. Then, It used all its strength to run towards Chen Chen.
“Huh?”
Chen Chen was a little surprised at first. Then, when he saw the red eyes charging toward him, he was shocked again.
This was actually a fox that had gone mad. When it saw Chen Chen, it had taken the initiative to charge at him.
“Should I fight? Or should I retreat?”
This thought had just appeared in Chen Chen’s mind, but he had already suppressed it. At this time, he could not retreat. Facing the fox head-on was the best choice.
The fox’s eyes were not light red but blood red. Chen Chen knew it was already on the verge of becoming a mutated beast.
The fox came up to him in the blink of an eye. Chen Chen held the long knife in both hands and let the tip of the knife lock onto the fox.
The fox kept moving forward. Chen Chen’s knife kept locking onto the fox and adjusted the direction slightly according to its trajectory.
The tip of the knife was about 70 cm away from the ground. When the fox rushed to the front, it naturally wanted to crawl under the ground. Chen Chen focused all his attention on sweeping the knife down. The blade brushed past the fox’s skin and sent it flying to the side.
The system’s Tang Zhi blade was still very sharp. When the knife sent the fox flying, it also left a long wound on its body.
The fox was really mad. After landing on the ground, it ignored the pain and turned around to charge Chen Chen again.
Chen Chen was still focused. The tip of the knife pointed at the fox and moved according to the situation.
Chen Chen seized the opportunity and directly stabbed it when it got closer.
The blade stabbed the fox from the back of its left forelimb and pierced through its chest into the soil.
The fox immediately struggled, but Chen Chen did not retreat. He just grabbed the blade tightly and did not let the fox escape. It stopped struggling in less than ten seconds and let out its last breath.
Chen Chen observed it for a while and confirmed that the fox was really dead. Then, he took the long knife away and tied the fox up with tree bark.
[Fox (carcass): Fox stabbed twice and died an unnatural death. Its coat is damaged, and it weighs 14 pounds. ]
Chen Chen then traded the fox to Wang Yu for safekeeping. The voles traded in the morning weighed less than six kilograms, and the fox’s 14 kilograms were less than 20 kilograms, so the transaction was just right.
After the trade was completed, Chen Chen did not hurry to return. The moment he found the fox, he saw the wooden box next to it. Naturally, he wanted to take a look.
Very well made, the box was square and had a very flat surface. There was not a single piece of reinforced wood on the outside. It was dark brown, and the wooden patterns were naturally beautiful.
The system’s information appeared.
[Wooden treasure box: A special item spawned in the terraformed world. It is relatively rare. There are 1-3 items inside.]
“Oh? There are actually these things?”
Chen Chen was a little surprised and immediately tried to open the chest.
He fumbled around for a while and found a square-shaped wooden block on the front of the chest. He pushed it, and a crack appeared along the square block. The wooden box was quickly opened.
There was only one set of items in the chest, but Chen Chen was ecstatic when he saw it. There was actually a crossbow and a set of arrows in the chest.
[Cheetah M58: Total length 88 cm, weight 4 kg, Pulling force: 84 kg (185 pounds), Effective range: 136 meters, maximum range 160 meters.]
The introduction was simple, but this was really an extraordinary item.
This was a modern crossbow with a complicated mechanical structure. Behind it was a butt-like handle adorned with a scope. It lay quietly in the box with a bundle of 10 arrows next to it.
Chen Chen was stunned when he saw the introduction. He had only hoped to get a bow and arrow, but he did not expect a modern crossbow to appear.
Crossbows were much stronger than regular bows. Not only were they more powerful, but they were also much more accurate when used because force didn’t need to be applied when the string was pulled.
Chen Chen remembered watching something on the telly when he was young. It would take at least half a year to train a qualified archer in ancient times. However, it would only take a month to train a crossbowman. Moreover, the combat strength of a crossbowman was even higher than that of an archer.
This was only a comparison between ancient times. Chen Chen had obtained an extremely powerful modern crossbow, a product of two different dimensions.
Chen Chen suppressed his excitement and put the crossbow back into the box. He tied the box up with an umbrella rope, carried it on his back, and began to walk back.
Finding a crossbow today was worth the effort. It was dangerous in the wild, so it was better to go back first and play with the crossbow.
Chen Chen had considered it when he was packing the box. He took the crossbow and went to the east side to look for the slightly larger wild beast.

From the information on the wild animals, the wild animals mainly were smaller in size. Only Fire King Cao Xin had encountered large animals before. The rest were basically harmless small animals.
In the past one or two days, as the animals had taken the initiative to attack the players, many players had hunted their prey. The relative price of food had decreased a little.
However, the idea of hunting a large beast today only flashed through Chen Chen’s mind, and he put it aside. He did not even know how to use a crossbow, so it was better not to take the risk. If the thing to the east was a carnivore, then he would be delivering vegetables.
Carrying the box on his back, Chen Chen dashed back to the shelter.
However, before he could give the Cheetah M58 a good look, a transaction on the forum caught his attention..
