All Heavens Strategy Game

Xiaochongshan.

The heavy snow continued uninterrupted, turning the world into a blanket of white.

Su Ming was alone in the mountains and forests, and apart from himself, there was no other human being to be seen.

It presents a scene where birds have vanished from a thousand mountains and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths.

"We've entered the area of ​​Lesser Chongshan Mountain. Wild animals may roam the area, so we must be careful."

Su Ming began to check his equipment.

His equipment was very simple:

A wood-chopping knife, sharpened to an exceptionally fine point before setting off.

A slingshot made of rubber bands, an inheritance left by my deceased father. He was a woodcutter and charcoal burner who often encountered small animals like squirrels and rabbits while chopping wood. He wondered if he could earn some extra income while chopping wood, and that's how he came up with this slingshot.

To be honest, my dad is quite talented with a slingshot. At first, he couldn't hit any prey at all, but over time, he became more skilled and actually caught quite a few small animals like pheasants and wild birds, which relieved the family's fatigue and earned him praise from everyone.

Perhaps he got carried away by the praise, because he kept fiddling with his slingshot, as if he wanted to shoot anything he saw.

Once, my dad encountered a wild boar. Feeling itchy, he took a shot from a distance. Unexpectedly, the wild boar held a grudge and chased after my dad, stabbing him several times. My dad died not long after returning home.

This slingshot had been lying idle until Su Ming went into the mountains this time, finally giving the dusty slingshot in the corner a chance to be used.

"On snowy days, food is scarce, and some small animals will come out to forage. My requirements aren't high; I just need to catch a wild rabbit..."

Su Ming's equipment was too poor. A machete is not meant for hunting. If you encounter a large wild animal, it is of little use and it is difficult to use it to hunt wild animals. At most, it can only be used for self-defense.

Wild animals aren't stupid; they won't stand still and let you attack them. They'll run away as soon as they see people, so close-range weapons like machetes are useless.

Only long-range weapons like slingshots are suitable for hunting.

However, slingshots have limited damage and are only suitable for shooting small animals.

Therefore, Su Ming was not greedy; his goal from beginning to end was simply to catch a small animal.

As Su Ming walked along the mountain path, he wrapped his cotton coat tighter around himself, scanning the bushes and secluded trails with his eyes, trying to find traces of wild animals.

Sure enough, after walking a few hundred meters, he actually found quite a lot of wild animal droppings. As for what kind of wild animals they were, it was hard to say, since he wasn't a professional hunter.

Half an hour later, Su Ming had completely reached the mountainside of the northern part of Xiaochong Mountain. Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, yet he hadn't gained anything, he sighed:

"Am I really that unlucky? I didn't see a single animal..."

"This heavy snowfall has only just begun, and the animals should be using this time to stock up on food for the winter."

Hunting is all about luck.

I've always had bad luck!

"If we still can't find any prey after another half hour, we'll have to go home empty-handed."

Although it was embarrassing to return empty-handed, there was no other way. Su Ming couldn't stay in the mountains for too long in the heavy snow; he might really freeze to death if he wasn't careful!

Persistence pays off; after just one incense stick's time, Su Ming finally spotted the small animals.

—A squirrel.

Ten meters away, on the treetop, a small black squirrel wagged its tail. Its fur was the same color as the tree trunk, and it was hidden among the treetops. People with poor eyesight would not be able to see it!

"We're open for business..."

Su Ming had sharp eyes.

I spotted the little squirrel immediately.

He hid behind a tree, slowly reached for his slingshot at his waist, aimed it at the little squirrel, and pulled back the trigger...

however,

At the crucial moment, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave up launching the missile. Instead, he quietly hid behind a tree without saying a word.

Time passed second by second, and the gray squirrel darted back and forth among the trees, collecting some scattered dried fruit, before heading towards a certain location in the east.

Su Ming followed closely behind.

After following for about thirty or forty meters, I saw the squirrel come up to a pine tree, look around for a while, and then hide in a tree hole.

"So this is where you live..."

Su Ming smiled, took out a machete, and began chopping down the tree.

Upon hearing the noise, the squirrel immediately jumped onto a nearby tree and made noises, trying to drive away the people under the tree.

Ignoring everything else, Su Ming spent a lot of effort until the pine tree collapsed. He found the location of the tree hole, but discovered that it was too small and too deep for his hand to reach in. So he picked up a machete and chopped away, successfully pulling out a lot of various dried fruits.

There were quite a few hazelnuts among them.

He packed the dried fruit into a cloth bag, weighed it, and found it weighed about four or five pounds.

"Sure enough, there's a reason why it's fat. This fat squirrel has hidden so much food for the winter, at least twice as much as an ordinary squirrel..."

Su Ming tasted a dried fruit; it was quite good. He could take it home as a snack for his child to satisfy their cravings.

If you eat sparingly, you can save money on several meals.

"Squeak squeak squeak..." The gray squirrel jumped and squeaked anxiously on the tree next to it, watching helplessly as Su Ming raided its home. It was like a powerless husband, unable to do anything but let out mournful cries.

Su Ming quietly pulled the slingshot, and taking advantage of the moment when the other person wasn't paying attention, a pebble flew out.

Bang!

The sound of a hit came.

The gray, fat squirrel didn't even have time to cry out before it fell from the tree.

"We'll have meat to eat!"

Su Ming walked over and picked up the squirrel, his smile widening.

With this prey, the trip up the mountain wasn't in vain!

It's a pity that they didn't encounter any big prey, so they couldn't show their strength.

Su Ming wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't like he had to succeed on the first try. He had plenty of time. If it didn't work this time, he could try again next time.

With the experience gained from the first trip into the mountains, the chances of catching large prey in the future will increase.

Through repeated hunts, he can gradually grasp his own strength and understand the extent of his abilities.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ming didn't plan to stay on the mountain any longer and turned to walk down the mountain.

Just when he thought his first hunting trip was about to end, he made a new discovery on his way down the mountain.

Su Ming was passing by a side road when he glanced at something subconsciously. His eyes lit up, and he ran to an inconspicuous spot, squatted down, and saw a pile of excrement.

The feces had not yet been covered by the snow, nor had they frozen into ice; they were clearly freshly made, and there were also many animal footprints nearby.

—These are wild boar footprints!

Judging from these scattered footprints, there was clearly more than one wild boar; many of them were very small, suggesting that they belonged to several small wild boars...

Su Ming judged by the freshness of the feces: about half an incense stick ago, a large wild boar led several small wild boars to pass by in search of food!

"A great opportunity..."

Without hesitation, Su Ming quickly followed the footprints before they were covered by the snow.

Before long, after parting a thicket of bushes, Su Ming successfully spotted the wild boar!
