Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

Shinonome has a Level 1 search capability.

Although he didn't know how useful this Level 1 search would be to him, he did notice the inconspicuous bright red bloodstains in the colorful woodland.

A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a whole day chasing a yellow deer.

【The Call of the Wilderness, is it?】

One person, one dog, one gun, one pack of cigarettes—they can play all day long!

[Kanoko: Don't come any closer!]

[Stop calling her Kanoko! If she were real Kanoko, it wouldn't be the deer running away, it would be Yun-ye and the others running away. Comedy characters can be surprisingly powerful.]

Be careful, the smell of blood might attract other carnivores.

[It's alright. Didn't Master Yun say before they set off that Xiao Jia has the Swiftness Technique? Besides, the leopard is just meat for Master Yun and the others.]

[Really? Leopards are easy prey. Don't listen to the red text above, Master Yun. Be careful if you encounter a leopard, or you'll still die.]

[Yun Ye probably doesn't have time to read the comments right now.]

The more I look at this leaf-patterned outfit, the cooler it seems; I want to get one.

[Not as good as a leopard skin skirt]

[Hey, leopard skin skirt, how about I get you a tiger skin skirt instead?]

[Great! Give me another one, the "Sea-Stabilizing Pillar"!]

[I don't have the magic staff, but I do have the stick. Stick your head out here, and I'll give you a buff.]

【Elegant Butterfly Extinction】

The group was tracking their prey, and at first the audience was very interested, but after a while they got bored.

As usual, when Shinonome ignored them and the anime livestream didn't produce any interesting "plot points," they turned the livestream into a chat room.

The topic changed quickly. Just a moment ago, they were talking about the new anime "Kanoko: The Tiger's Eyes," and a few seconds later it turned to "Black Myth: Goku." When they saw Shinonome's killer face, they started spamming "old friend" comments.

"How can this deer run so fast?"

Gabriel lagged behind, panting heavily with her right hand on her chest.

"Perhaps he wasn't seriously injured."

Shima Rin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They'd been tracking the deer's blood trail for almost half an hour, and they could see the deer had bled quite a bit along the way. Logically, the deer should be exhausted by now, so why was it still running?

"Can't walk anymore? If you can't walk anymore, let's rest for a while. Maybe we'll have to chase it for a long time before we find it."

Having played "Hunter: Call of the Wild," Shinonome has plenty of patience when it comes to tracking prey.

Although the game's mechanics were rather illogical—prey could run very far even with only a minor fatal wound—he was prepared to chase the deer for a long time, though not as long as in the game.

Two of their javelins were embedded in the deer's abdomen, and the two javelins knocked down from the tree while the deer was running away, which likely aggravated its injuries. Furthermore, the bloodstains on the ground weren't just specks, but rather pools of blood.

The deer must be badly injured. If they can follow the trail of blood, they will definitely find the deer.

Even if the deer didn't die, it would definitely be too tired to walk and would have to stop and rest.

You will find it, you definitely will!

"No need, I can still walk."

Gabriel shook her head, rejecting Shinonome's suggestion.

She knew now was not the time to rest; it would be bad if she lost track of the deer because of her rest, and the deer became food for other animals.

Another half hour passed.

Just as the comments were discussing whether the deer Dongyun and his friends were chasing had defecated and healed its wounds, Dongyun and his group emerged from the jungle and saw a river, a rocky beach, and a deer lying down in the distance, along with a large group of animals surrounding the deer…

Capybara?

【Holy crap, Kapibala!】

[Shouldn't the focus be on deer? Why is it Kapibala?]

【Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! 】

Holy crap, we found the deer! And it's only been an hour!

[Does anyone really think that real-life deer can run as fast as those in games? They've lost so much blood; real-life deer can't heal by pooping.]

Dongyun and his group saw the capybaras, and the capybaras also saw Dongyun and his group.

Seeing Dongyun and the others walking towards the river, a large group of capybaras jumped into the river with a whoosh.

Wow, there's so much! Can you eat this? What does it taste like?

Dongyun looked curiously at the capybaras in the river, and soon his gaze fell on the deer that was still alive.

By this time, the deer was already dying.

His nose was twitching, there was a large pool of blood beneath him, and his big black eyes stared pitifully at Dongyun as he approached.

Having successfully hunted the beast, Dongyun expected him to be very excited, but when he looked into the eyes of the dying animal, he felt little emotion.

He picked up the bamboo spear and swiftly ended the deer's life.

For some reason, Dongyun felt that killing a ferocious beast was different from killing a harmless one. Killing the former brought him only pleasure, while killing the latter evoked a subtle feeling of sympathy, like the sorrow of losing a fellow animal.

Seeing them alive, one cannot bear to see them die; hearing their cries, one cannot bear to eat their flesh.

Dongyun shook his head and turned to look at the three girls. Whether they shared his feelings or not, the three girls remained expressionless.

"Yay! We get to eat venison!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko was overjoyed to see Shinonome kill the deer, raising her hands high.

Okay, Shinonome realized he was wrong. He didn't know about Xiaojia and Rin-chan, and Nadeshiko, the glutton, was very happy.

However, Dongyun wasn't the type to be overly sentimental. He was only slightly moved by the pitiful sight of the deer dying. Soon after, he ran over to Nadeshiko, high-fived her, and celebrated, mimicking Nadeshiko's tone.

"Great!"

Immediately, the barrage of comments was filled with "Yay!" and mixed in with "Yay!"

After killing the deer, the next step is to dispose of the carcass.

However, they couldn't dispose of the deer carcass here; they had to move it to the riverbank near the camp. Disposing of it here, with its bloody smell, might attract some animals. Disposing of it downstream would likely only attract leopards, and with four people, a leopard might not dare attack.

They might even hunt down a leopard if they see one.

After all, the more meat they have, the better. Even if leopard meat isn't very tasty, it's still better than having no meat at all.

Chapter 121 Island

The group successfully completed the hunt.

It took them quite a while to move the dead deer to the riverbank near the camp.

The smell of blood attracted several jackals, but upon seeing three humans and an angel, they immediately fled, their animal instincts sensing danger.

Dongyun felt a pang of regret watching the jackal run away.

If those jackals had been even a little bolder, he would have thrown a spear and eaten the "dog meat".

Although he'd never eaten dog meat before, since he'd been living in the wilderness, trying jackal meat, which is also a canine, wouldn't be bad. He'd heard dog meat was delicious; he wondered if jackal meat was any better.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, Dongyun began to dispose of the deer carcass.

The girls also came to help. Gabriel helped scrape the meat off the deer hide, Shima Rin cleaned the deer's edible internal organs, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko and Shinonome cut the deer meat together, chopping the bones with her fire axe.

Before setting off on the hunt, Dongyun prepared himself for the possibility of catching a python or monitor lizard and continuing to eat python jerky and monitor lizard jerky.

Therefore, he was very happy to have hunted a deer.

And now that they have deerskin, Xiao Jia can make new clothes from it.

After dealing with the deer carcass, the group returned to the camp and began smoking and drying the venison that they wouldn't eat that day.

Deer hide needs further processing. It needs to be soaked in water for a day, and then hung to dry in a well-ventilated, shady place.

Fur should not be exposed to direct sunlight or turned inside out, but it can be roasted over a fire.

Dongyun roasted the leopard skin in the bamboo forest to reduce its moisture and prevent it from rotting. After bringing it back, he soaked the leopard skin first and then dried it over a fire.

He chose to roast the leopard skin over a fire both times because the jungle wasn't very well ventilated, and it rained after they returned to camp. Otherwise, it would have been better to let it air dry, since roasting it over a fire could easily burn the fur. Air drying eliminates this worry and saves him the time and effort of watching over the fur.

This time, Dongyun cured the smoked meat with salt.

However, because making salt takes a lot of time and effort, he handed over the tasks of making salt, curing meat, smoking meat, and drying meat to Xiaojia and Rin-chan, while he went to build a house with Nadeshiko.

Once the house is built, they can make bamboo rafts and learn to swim.

Oh, and there's also exploring the bay, completing tasks, and getting the bay shellfish encyclopedia.
