“Xie Cheng, I’m going hunting. You sleep a little longer. I’ll be back soon.”

At dawn, Geno got up early. Xie Cheng was used to waking up early in a strange place. After hearing Geno’s words, he didn’t say anything. He pretended to be lazy and said “oh” and closed his eyes again.

After making sure that Geno had gone out, he got up and changed his clothes. Although he was much weaker than Geno, a beastman, he should not be bad in skills and reaction, not to mention that he had magic. Hehe, how could he know if he didn’t try? He was going hunting, and he couldn’t let Geno underestimate him.

The air in the morning was very good, and with yesterday’s heavy rain, it was refreshing everywhere, very comfortable. Stepping on the dead branches in the jungle and the water stains made a slight sound. From time to time there were strange animal calls, which made Xie Cheng very depressed. Most of the animals here flew, or called from a long distance, and when he arrived, they had already disappeared.

 There was Geno’s scent everywhere, and the animals were very cautious. After trying for a long time, Xie Cheng couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged. He finally realized that Geno was telling the truth. He couldn’t beat the animals here without being able to transform.

Scratching his head in boredom, he subconsciously looked at the information terminal in his hand, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. It seemed that Geno hunted a spotted deer near the crater yesterday. Let’s try his luck and see if there is any way to get the crystal.

The volcano was not close to Geno’s residence. When Xie Cheng walked to the top of the mountain, it was already noon. The sun was as bright and hot as yesterday. With the continuous heat flow from the volcano, his well-wrapped outdoor clothes were soaked, and sweat kept flowing down from both sides of his hair. He was reluctant to activate his supernatural power, after all, it was too physically and mentally exhausting.

 After walking around the edge of the crater twice, the only things left around the barren volcano were stones of different colors and some special heat-resistant vines. Looking down the mountain, grass and trees began to grow again after a few hundred meters, but Xie Cheng didn’t see any animals after looking for a long time. There was no sound except the wind.

“What the hell!”

Looking up at the sky and then down at the surroundings, Xie Cheng couldn’t help complaining. He couldn’t catch the flying creatures in the sky, the running creatures on the ground, and the swimming creatures in the water… oh, yes, Xie Cheng patted his forehead. He could go find the swimming creatures and take a bath. This was the best place to go in this kind of weather. Anyway, he couldn’t get the crystal now, so he should relax and enjoy the primitive life for the time being.

 He found the pool that Geno had taken him to yesterday, and then followed the current down to find a lake several dozen acres wide. The water was clear and the fish in the water could be seen clearly. After carefully surveying the area around the lake to make sure there was no danger, Xie Cheng took off his sweaty long clothes and jumped into the water. The water was not deep. The water close to the shore was only up to the neck, and the deepest was only a few meters.

“Puff…”

He splashed his face with the cool water and swam to a shaded place to rest. The heat just now quickly subsided. The comfortable feeling made him feel relaxed and happy, and he couldn’t help but want to cheer.

Xie Cheng, who was relaxing, didn’t realize that his every move had already fallen into a pair of sharp eyes in the bushes. After all, he was not a beastman, and he didn’t have heightened five senses. It was not enough to rely on his own naked eyes to observe.

 After returning from hunting early in the morning, Geno found that Xie Cheng was missing, so he followed his scent to find him. In fact, he had already caught up with Xie Cheng at the foot of the volcano, but he deliberately hid his whereabouts to follow him to see where he was going. He didn’t expect Xie Cheng to come here to take a bath, which made him thirsty and want to soak in the water.

“Ba-dump ba-dump…”

Xie Cheng was enjoying it with his eyes closed, but suddenly heard a slight sound from the bottom of the water not far away. He opened his eyes and saw a series of small bubbles on the surface of the water. The originally clear lake water gradually became turbid.

He frowned slightly. He subconsciously felt that the lake water was abnormal, and quickly swam back to the shore, but did not go ashore immediately, but watched from a distance. Similarly, Geno, who was hiding in the bushes, also noticed the changes in the lake, and secretly accumulated strength to protect Xie Cheng at any time. That blind stinky water snake actually dared to disturb him watching Xie Cheng take a bath.
