Chapter 2 Red-Spotted Sparrow Hunter
Herag clearly felt that the moment he stepped into the forest, the surroundings became quiet.
The animals in the forest noticed him as an intruder, and the chirping birds and insects all hibernated.
Herag slowed down his footsteps, adjusted his breathing rate, and began to search for the target prey in his field of vision.
Soon, a gray hare appeared in front of him.
Herag bent his bow and put an arrow: "Deep Blue, turn on auxiliary aiming."
"Calculating wind speed..."
A blue auxiliary line appeared in the field of vision, and Herag adjusted his shooting angle and aimed at the hare.
Whoosh!
The hare's ears moved, but before it could jump to avoid it, it was shot through the head.
Herag carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he went to pick up the hare.
He picked it up and weighed it, about five or six pounds.
He pulled out the arrow, wiped it on the rabbit's fur, and put it in the quiver to continue using it.
"The control over my body is still too weak."
Herag felt that he still had insufficient control over his body, and his stability when shooting arrows was not enough.
A few minutes later, Herag found the target again.
There were two birds on the tree in the northeast direction, a pair of red finches, pecking at each other's feathers at the moment.
Herag held his breath and quietly pulled the longbow, aiming the arrow at the red finches showing affection on the tree with a cold light.
Swish!
Kill two birds with one arrow!
The arrow pierced through the heads of the two red finches and strung them into a candied haws.
The red finches are not big and don't have much meat.
There are so many wild animals here that it can be said to be a disaster, so naturally no one would mention animal protection.
After an afternoon, Herag had a good harvest.
Three hares, seventeen red finches, and two fish.
If he hadn't been unable to support himself and had no strength to pull the bow, he could have continued hunting.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the jungle, and Herag heard strange beast roars from deep in the forest.
He immediately realized the danger and quickened his pace to leave the forest.
At the gate of the castle.
"You shot all these?" The castle guard was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Of course, this is the red-spotted sparrow you want, give me money!" Herag said proudly.
The guard swallowed his saliva when he saw the red-spotted sparrows strung together on Herag's neck, touched his pocket and said awkwardly: "I'll just buy five."
"Okay." Herag didn't expect him to buy them all, he would earn as much as he could.
The servants in the castle didn't have a salary, only some rewards would be given on certain festivals.
The guards were naturally paid, but not much.
Herag returned to the castle with a lot of prey, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
"Where did this guy pick it up?"
"It is said that he hunted it himself."
"I would rather believe that the prey crashed into the tree and died."
...
"Old Henry, look at what this is!" Herag showed off the hare and fish in his hand.
"This..." Old Henry saw the arrow wound on the prey at a glance and doubted his eyes.
"These rabbits and fish are for you, just as the cost of borrowing your bow and arrow. Use them to replenish your body. It's better to see the gods later. Anyway, they are always there." Herag put down the hare and fish and smiled.
Old Henry did not refuse, but nodded silently, looking at the bow and arrow and recalling something.
"Can I borrow this bow and arrow for a few more days?" Herag asked.
Old Henry looked a little dazed, and said with a slightly slow reaction: "It's for you."
"Ah? For me?" Herag knew that this longbow was Old Henry's favorite treasure, so he gave it to himself?
Old Henry waved his hand: "Take it. I can't open it anyway. It's always good for someone to use it, old friend."
After Herag returned to his hut, he began to peel the rabbit skin, and there was a pile of red finches to deal with.
When he finished, it was already dark. A rabbit and a bunch of red finches were roasted on the fire, and a fish was kept in a basin, ready to be eaten in two days.
There are few seasonings in this world. Herag found some spicy wild grasses commonly used here in the forest, and took some salt from the salt jar to spread on it and eat it.
The rabbit needs to be roasted for a long time, and the red finches don't have much meat and cook quickly.
Herag picked up a red finches and took a bite. The taste was not as sour as imagined, but was particularly crispy. It seems that what the guard said was right. This red finches are indeed very fragrant.
"Food that matches the constitution is detected. Consuming 150 red finches in a row can increase 1 point of strength."
When Herag saw this prompt on the chip, he was shocked.
What is the concept of a little power? With a little power, he turned from a weak chicken into a strongman.
This world is really not simple. In the previous life, there was no such food that could greatly change the physique after eating.
There are formal knights in the castle. It is said that a formal knight can easily deal with dozens of ordinary people.
Baron Buck is a great knight and is said to have extraordinary power.
Herag has never seen it with his own eyes, and he has only been here for a few days, so he has always thought that these are just rumors that are getting more and more outrageous.
But now, he began to have more ideas.
After showing off the red finch and the hare, Herag finally felt full for the first time.
"It feels good to be full." He lay on the bed contentedly and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, after finishing his work, Herag put on his longbow again and walked into the forest.
This time, the goal was very clear, only to hunt red-spotted finches.
But at the same time, he was also paying attention to the various plants in the forest. Many plants were not in his previous life, and he could not identify them.
Every time he encountered a new plant, he cut a little and put it on the back of his hand to apply it. If there was no abnormality after waiting for a while, he would lick it on his lips and let Deep Blue analyze the ingredients.
After a few days, Herag really found a plant that can increase physical fitness.
"The food that matches the physical fitness has been detected and named red leaf fern. Eating ten kilograms continuously can increase 1 point of physical fitness."
In seven days, Herag ate two hundred red-spotted finches and fifteen kilograms of red leaf fern.
"Check the current physical condition."
"Herag Merlin: Strength 4, Agility 6, Physical Fitness 4, Spirit 2."
After he ate 150 red-spotted finches, eating more had no effect, as if his body had resistance.
Red leaf fern is very unpalatable, especially bitter, and Heragg ate it to become stronger.
He also found that after his strength and physique increased by one point each, his agility automatically increased by 1, but his spirit did not change at all.
Heragg clenched his fists and felt the explosive power lurking in his body.
Heragg has become famous during this period, because he always returns with a full load when he goes hunting.
He also has a title, the Red Sparrow Hunter.
Every time he comes back from the forest, he hangs a string of red sparrows on his body, hence the name.
"Heragg boy, come out quickly!" Old Henry's long voice came from outside the house.
