Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 157 Survival Mission in the Ancient Beast World 3
Three days later, Ye found a cave more than five meters above the ground. It took him a lot of effort to climb up the cave. Ye inspected the cave, which might be his future residence, and nodded in satisfaction.
It's high enough, with a recessed entrance and two protruding boulders on the side to block the cold wind from the left and right. She only needs to focus on controlling the cold wind from the front of the cave. The cave is more than ten meters deep, more than five meters wide, and about three meters high, which is more than enough for her to live in. The biggest drawback is that the entrance is too big, but that can be repaired.
We can't rush to build the entrance to the hole. The most urgent thing is to build a ladder for going up and down. Otherwise, we'll have to be very careful every time we go up and down, which could easily cause problems and waste time.
Ye sat at the cave entrance and took out a lunchbox with a mix of meat and vegetables from her spatial storage. She fed herself and rested for a while. Looking at the direction of the sun, she realized it was just past noon. She carefully climbed down. The first thing she did after getting down was to cut down trees to make a ladder. Going down was more difficult than going up. Twice, she almost slipped.
Halfway through cutting down the tree, Ye suddenly sensed danger. She immediately rolled to the side, and a black, four-legged animal swept past where she had just been standing.
Snap! And just like that, she knocked down the big tree she'd been trying to chop down for ages.
Ye had no time to look at the big tree. She took out a repeating crossbow from her spatial storage and fired several arrows without hesitation. After emptying one crossbow, she switched to a new one and continued firing at the beast charging towards her as she ran. After firing the second crossbow, she heard a thud behind her. Ye didn't stop and kept running. After a while, when she was sure there was no sound of anyone chasing her, she stopped, chose a thick tree, threw a few pebbles into the canopy, and after confirming there was no movement, she climbed the tree and looked in the direction she had come from.
The black beast lay motionless, several crossbow bolts embedded in its body. Ye observed it for a moment, confirming it was dead. She quickly slid down the tree, ran back, and stored the beast and the broken tree trunk in her spatial storage. She then hurried away from the 'crime scene.'
Unaware of a pair of inquisitive eyes, the falcon hunter stood atop the tallest tree, silently watching the departing human female. He was unusually curious, and after she left, he flew to the broken tree and picked up the small object she had shot out, studying it carefully.
Ye shot more than a dozen holes in the beast with her crossbow before finally bringing it down. The smell of blood was overwhelming, and she dared not linger. She quickly gathered up the beast and the tree and left without even bothering to pick up the crossbow bolts that had missed. The crossbow and bolts were custom-made by her master during the apocalypse, and the arrowheads were made of very sharp composite metal.
It looked tiny in the talons of the falconer, but the cold glint of the arrow made him feel threatened. He knew that this little thing could pierce his feathers.
Ye Xin was filled with regret as she left, not because of the lost crossbow bolts, but because she felt the bolts were too small and the wild beasts here were too big. The bolts would have to be fired so many times to take them down, and in the process, she might be the one to die first. If it were a bow and arrow, the killing power would be greater, but a bow and arrow requires both hands to draw, which is not as convenient as a single-handed repeating crossbow.
Forget it, at worst I can just go into the space to hide. I can stay in the space for an hour every day, and if I use that time well, it can solve a big problem.
Instead of returning the way he came, Ye wandered around the forest and came to the stream, intending to process the meat and wood there before going back.
First, she found a dry place to put the big tree out, sawed it into appropriately sized sections, and put it in the sun to dry. The freshly cut tree was too damp to be used directly to make tools; it needed to reach a certain degree of dryness. She also needed to test whether the tree would crack when it dried.
After processing the wood, she found a flat spot and took the beast out of the space. Thump! The sound of it landing was so loud, it must have weighed at least 1,800 pounds.
Ye first pulled all the crossbow bolts off its body, then took out a cleaver and started from its neck. *Thud*, the sound of the blade sinking into flesh. Fortunately, this animal, which looked a bit like a wild boar, had a body full of hard short thorns, but its skin wasn't too tough, and the cleaver cut through easily.
The blood flowed slowly downstream along the stream. Ye felt a little regretful. The beast was placed directly on the riverbank, close to the ground. She didn't have the right tools to prop up the beast's body, so she couldn't collect the blood. She could only let it flow out, cutting down from the wound on its neck to its belly.
Ye sheathed her long knife, switched to a short knife, and began skinning the animal by cutting upwards along the opening. Due to limited space and her lack of skill, the animal's hide was torn to pieces. She wasn't too bothered by this, though, as the hide of this kind of animal seemed to have little use. It had no fur and was full of short thorns, which were difficult to remove. She tried to leave the relatively intact hide as much as possible, hoping to find a way to utilize it.
After struggling and sweating profusely, Ye finally managed to peel off the outer skin. He glanced at the sky, put away the beast's naked body, pushed the blood-stained mud into the stream, wiped off the bloody smell with water, and applied some plants to remove the odor before turning and leaving the stream.
Not long after she left, a falconer that had been observing her from a distance quietly flew over, carefully poking at the wood on the ground with its talons. After looking around, it seemed that the little female was arranging the wood in a regular pattern. Was she doing something?
And her alternate dimension that can store things seems quite large? But why is she alone in the forest?
Portable spaces are not uncommon in this world. A very small number of females who are favored by totem spirits will gain certain abilities, including portable spaces, as well as having one of their five senses that are extremely sensitive. For example, in his original tribe, there was a female who could hear sounds from a great distance.
In Ye's tribe, some of the older members and shamans knew about this, but since no female in their tribe had received the favor of the totem spirit, and the original owner was a marginal figure in the tribe, they naturally didn't know about it.
Ye did not return to the cave, but instead found a relatively secluded place to have lunch and rest for a while. Then he stood up and looked for some wild vegetables and fruits that the original owner recognized.
"Huh? This smells like ginger." Ye leaned closer to smell the plant that was over a meter tall in front of her, but the shape of the leaves seemed different from the ginger she knew before. She reached out to pull one of the plants out to take a look.
I strained, but nothing happened.
Even with more effort, it wouldn't budge.
