I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"real?!"

Xilin was already familiar with Yuhaka and Jilin's culinary skills. When she lived with them, she ate all sorts of delicious dishes almost every day, which made her feel like her stomach was about to be shaped like Yuhaka and Jilin's.

"Of course!"

Seeing Xilin's almost drooling face made Ji Lin feel a little embarrassed, but also a little gratified. When Xilin was first brought back by them, Ji Lin could feel a strong sense of revenge in Xilin, and she was very wary of the things around her and strangers, just like an abandoned kitten.

At that time, the only people Sirin was relatively close to were her and Yuhaka.

Fortunately, in the past two weeks, the hatred and aura of unapproachability emanating from Xilin has diminished rapidly. However, Ji Lin understands one thing very well: Xilin will not give up on revenge...

The flower of hatred buried deep within Sirin's heart will bloom sooner or later...

.................................

On the snow-capped mountain, Sirin, wearing a thick white animal skin coat, walked across the vast expanse of white snow. She exhaled a puff of white steam and looked at the familiar scenery around her, saying:

"Phew... Even though I'm supposed to hunt the creatures on the ingredient list, at least tell me where those animals are... Ha..."

After complaining, Sirin sighed and took out the telescope she had placed in the imaginary space to look around at the surrounding environment to see where she could find the creatures called Bobo and Snow Mountain Deer that Yuhaka and the others had mentioned, as well as Snow Mountain Grass and Blue Mushrooms. Ji Lin had sent her pictures of these things before, so Sirin knew exactly what they looked like, and at least she wouldn't mistake them.

"Hmm? That's...?"

Xilin paused for a moment, staring at the creatures that looked like reindeer from her old home in Siberia, foraging in the distance. She examined the creatures closely, then took out a phone from her imaginary space to look at the picture of the [Snow Mountain Deer] that Ji Lin had sent her.

After taking a closer look, Xilin realized that the creature, which resembled a Siberian reindeer, was almost identical to the snow mountain deer on her phone. She then pulled out a subspace weapon that looked like a hunting bow from her imaginary space.

In other words, it's about creating a hunting bow through imaginary number transformation. However... unlike ordinary hunting bows, the bowstring of the weapon that Sirin holds, which she calls the "Void Bow," is not made of any biological material or artificial composite material. Rather, it's a weapon that uses space as its bowstring.

Moreover, its appearance is completely different from the hunting bows used by Yuhaka and the others. The hunting bow in Sirin's hand looks like two bows crossed together, and from the front it looks like an X.

Sirin reached into the imaginary space and took out an arrow that looked like a miniature version of the Void Spear. She nocked it onto the bow of the Void Bow, then Sirin manipulated the surrounding space and the fletching of the Void Arrow. Immediately after Sirin released her hand, the Void Arrow, nocked on the spatial string, flew out with a "whoosh" as if it had turned into a dark light.

"?"

Two hundred meters away, the snow mountain deer raised its head in confusion as if it had noticed something. However, before the snow mountain deer could discover anything, a black flash struck the snow mountain deer's body and passed right through it. The snow mountain deer then fell to the ground without realizing anything and remained motionless.

As Xilin looked at the fallen snow-capped mountain deer in the distance, she revealed a smug expression and said:

"Yosh! It hit!"

Chapter 329 [Sirin's Hunting (Part 2)]

As Xilin stood at a distance, she saw the snow mountain deer she had hit and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that her recent archery practice had been worthwhile.

Hmm? You're asking why she doesn't conjure a hunting rifle? It's simple. Sirin doesn't know the structure of a hunting rifle, nor does she know how to attach her imaginary number ability to it.

After seeing the snow mountain deer struck by her Sky Arrow, Sirin ran over to retrieve it, when suddenly a white figure darted out and snatched her hunting deer away...gone...gone...

Sirin was stunned as the white figure snatched her spoils. She quickly recovered and shouted:

"Aaaaaah! I killed a snow mountain deer—!"

Sirin was furious at the bastard who had stolen her snow mountain deer right in front of her, so she gave chase. As for why she didn't use her imaginary number ability? The answer was simple: Ji Lin had told her not to use it, at least not while hunting. He said that if they encountered any danger, Ji Lin would immediately use imaginary number to escape, although Sirin didn't know what dangers she might encounter here...

However, Sirin wouldn't let her prey be stolen. She then raised her Void Bow again and aimed the Void Arrow at the guy who had taken her prey.

bass!

With a terrifying whooshing sound, the arrow, released from its bow, flew like a beam of light toward the creature that had stolen its prey.

"Roar!"

As Sirin listened to the monster's screams, she wore an expression of pure enjoyment, twirled a strand of her hair, and said:

"Hmph~ How dare you steal my prey."

However, to Sirin's surprise, her arrow hadn't killed the monster that had stolen her prey; it had only slightly injured it. The monster, which hadn't died, immediately ran away.

When Sirin saw that the monster was still alive, she was stunned. However, when she saw that the monster could still escape, she shouted, "Don't run! You beast!" and chased after it.

..............................

At a campsite in the snow-capped mountains, Ji Lin, standing on tiptoe, looked at the towering snow-capped mountains with a slightly worried expression, while Yuhaka, standing to the side, was placing a large piece of meat on a grill and turning it over to roast.

"Hmm... I'm a little worried about Sirin, and it looks like there's going to be a blizzard on the mountain today..."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka turned to look at the sky. Indeed, it looked like a blizzard was about to hit the snow mountain today. Of course, this blizzard was naturally formed and not because of the Steel Dragon. After Yuhaka told Ji Lin about this, Ji Lin was only slightly relieved, but he was still quite worried about Sirin.

Although Sirin has the ability to manipulate imaginary numbers, Ji Lin is well aware that Sirin is just an ordinary rural girl, and it wouldn't be good if she encountered any problems in the wild.

"However, there shouldn't be any problem in giving Celine enough food and water before she left, right?"

Moreover, with Sirin's strength, dealing with those monsters on the snow mountain shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

............................

The scene then shifts back to Sirin.

At this moment, Sirin was tracking the monster that had stolen her prey. Because the monster was injured, there were bloodstains left on the snow. And coincidentally, the monster was injured in its leg, which made it slow down, allowing Sirin to keep up with it.

"Ugh...where did that monster go...?"

Sirin looked at the vast expanse of white snow with great confusion. Although there were footprints and bloodstains that helped her track the monster, the heavy snowfall had almost completely erased the traces.

Looking at the snow-covered ground beside her, Sirin observed her surroundings and said:

"Strange, where did that monster go?"

Seeing that the monster hadn't left any trace, Sirin scratched her head in frustration and said:

"Damn it, I shouldn't have chased that monster. Now I have no idea where I am..."

With a helpless sigh, Xilin took out a map from her imaginary space to check her location. She didn't want to wander into some unknown place and then be in trouble if she couldn't find the campsite at night.

However, not long after Sirin took out the map, a white figure appeared on the cliff behind her and then pounced on her. Unfortunately, Sirin had already sensed that a creature was lurking nearby, so she immediately dodged the white figure's attack.

"Hmph, you think you can catch me? You're a hundred years too early!"

"Roar--!!"

The white figure that just attacked Xilin was a monster living in the snow mountain region, a snow lion, or more accurately, the leader of the snow lion clan, the Snow Lion King.

The Snow Lion King, standing on all fours, is over 4 meters tall, making Sirin, who is only over 140 meters tall, appear very short. The Snow Lion King roared at Sirin, and following its roar, many snow lions, much smaller than the Snow Lion King, emerged from their seats.

Seeing the snow lions surrounding her, Sirin didn't panic or feel afraid. These creatures weren't as scary as Yuhaka. Sirin took out her Void Spear from her imaginary space. In her discovery, she also noticed a very obvious blood-red wound on the snow lion king's arm. This made Sirin realize that the snow lion king in front of her was the one who had stolen her prey.

Clearly, this clever snow lion king wanted to lure Sirin to this place by stealing her prey, but unfortunately, the snow lion king didn't expect to be hit by Sirin's arrow.

It's normal that the snow lion king didn't expect to be hit by Sirin's arrow, since the speed of Sirin's aerial arrow is almost as fast as bullets fired from a gun.

Chapter 330 [Sirin's Hunt (Part 2)]

Seeing the Snow Lion King's injuries, Sirin narrowed her eyes and looked at the Snow Lion King in front of her, saying:

"Ah ha... I was wondering which bastard dared to steal my loot, turns out it was you. But that's fine..."

Sirin brandished her Void Spear and looked at the Snow Lion King in front of her, saying:

"Now I can get my revenge for stealing my spoils."

................................................

At the campsite at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Ji Lin and Youhaka sat on a tree stump, munching on their roasted meat and looking up at the distant snow-capped mountains.

Ji Lin looked up at the snow-covered sky and sighed:

"Ah...it's snowing."

“(￣～￣) Mmm…”

Yuhaka, who was eating grilled meat nearby, nodded to indicate that he understood.

Although Ji Lin wasn't worried about Sirin encountering monsters, since most monsters couldn't affect Sirin due to her imaginary number abilities, before Sirin went up the snow mountain, Yuhaka and the others told Sirin that she couldn't use some of her imaginary number abilities, except for a few specific ones.

Ji Lin's biggest worry is that if Xilin encounters a monster she can't handle and refuses to use imaginary numbers, she'll try to forcefully defeat it using her own power...

Thinking about all this made Ji Lin very worried. Then Ji Lin said to Yuhaka:

"Um... Master Youyou, should we go up the mountain to check on Xilin later? To be honest, I'm a little worried about that child..."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka stared blankly at Ji Lin while chewing on his grilled meat. After thinking for a moment, Yuhaka nodded in agreement. Seeing Yuhaka's agreement, Ji Lin felt a little relieved.

Just as Ji Lin was starting to feel a little relieved, Yuhaka suddenly opened his mouth, grabbed a piece of grilled meat from Ji Lin's hand, and tore it off with a forceful rip. Ji Lin, standing to the side, looked on in bewilderment as Yuhaka puffed out his cheeks and chewed on the grilled meat in his hand.

Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka chewing on the roasted meat in his hand with a speechless expression and said:

"Master Youyou... aren't all the grilled meats we have exactly the same? There's no need for us to eat the grilled meat I have..."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka tilted his head, looked at Ji Lin, and shook his head, saying:

"No, the roasted meat in Ji Lin's hand has something that Youyou doesn't have..."

Hearing what Yuhaka said, Ji Lin was also puzzled. The meat in Ji Lin's hand was grilled by Yuhaka himself. During this time, Ji Lin also watched Yuhaka grill the meat. During this time, Yuhaka did not add any different seasonings to the two pieces of meat.

Did Chef Youyou add some different seasonings when I wasn't paying attention?

Just as Ji Lin was thinking this, Yuhaka, who was chewing on roasted meat and squinting his eyes, said something that made Ji Lin blush.

"The roasted meat in Ji Lin's hand has Ji Lin's saliva on it =~=".

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Ji Lin's face immediately turned crimson, and she began to tap Yuhaka's head with her little fists, saying:

"Master Youyou! Don't say such embarrassing things!"

Yuhaka, seemingly unaffected by Ji Lin's small punches, appeared to have remarkably high physical defense. As Ji Lin continued to pummel him, Yuhaka looked up at the distant snow, a strange, beeping sensation spreading through him...

Boom————

With a clap of thunder, Ji Lin, who had just been beating Yuhaka, looked up at the dark clouds above the snow-capped mountain with a puzzled expression and said:

"Strange? Why is there thunder coming from the snow-capped mountain?"

...................................

Boom————

As a clap of thunder echoed in the sky, Sirin swung her Void Spear, lifting a snow lion that pounced at her. Then, she spun around and slammed the snow lion on her Void Spear into another snow lion charging behind her. Sirin then pulled out her Void Spear and, with another turn, beheaded the other snow lion that dared to pounce.

The Void Spear in Sirin's hand is no longer the original cone shape, but has become an isosceles triangular cone.

This shape of the Void Spear can be used not only as a spear but also as a two-handed sword, making it very useful.

Well... these are the results of practical training with Yuhaka and Eclair... although the process was very difficult, and during this time, Sirin had a lot of her clothes blown off.

After Sirin swiftly dispatched three snow lions, the surrounding snow lions dared not approach any further. The Snow Lion King roared, urging the surrounding snow lions to hurry up, but unfortunately, with nearly half of the snow lions already defeated piled up around Sirin, the snow lions all looked terrified. No matter how much the Snow Lion King roared, the snow lions refused to take a single step forward.
