Chapter 563: Chapter 349: Roasted Lamb Attracts Two Squeaking Creatures

The forest had no paths and was difficult to traverse.

Chu Mingcheng needed to run towards the direction of the sheep flock as quickly as possible to prevent them from leaving.

He also had to use his javelin to clear the way and ward off any insects or snakes that might bite him.

Thus, even with his excellent physical condition, it still took him more than an hour to faintly hear the bleating of sheep.

By the view of the sea beneath the cliff, he could roughly determine his bearings and knew he was very close to the sheep flock.

Stopping to regulate his breathing and wiping sweat from his forehead, Chu Mingcheng slowed down and walked towards the location of the sheep.

Perhaps due to the absence of natural predators on the island, the sheep seemed very relaxed and occasionally bleated, giving away their exact location.

Based on the direction of the sounds, they had moved away from the cliff edge and into the interior of the forest.

Chu Mingcheng quickened his pace and followed them; after about fifteen minutes, he spotted the tracks of the flock below from a high vantage point.

He counted and found that there were over a dozen sheep, including five lambs.

It seemed that the island environment was very suitable for them to settle in, as they had already begun to reproduce.

The small basin below appeared to be their resting place, with most of the sheep resting and the remaining few grazing.

Through observation, Chu Mingcheng discovered that they were a flock of mountain goats.

There were only three adult male goats in the flock but seven females.

After a moment’s thought, he decided to target a female, as the lambs were predominantly female as well.

Estimating the distance between himself and the sheep in the basin, Chu Mingcheng carefully moved to a higher position that brought him closer to them.

Then he raised his javelin, aiming at an adult female goat that was resting.

The distance was only about ten meters, with an elevation difference of about six or seven meters. He was not confident about making a successful hit, but he had to try—it was the simplest way to catch a sheep.

"Whoosh~" His arm muscles bulged as he threw the javelin with force.

The next moment, amidst the panicked bleating of the sheep, the javelin pierced the ground next to the female goat.

Due to the immense force and the softness of the soil, the javelin buried itself one-third of the way in.

A chorus of "baa baa baa" rose and fell as the flock, frightened, hurriedly fled the basin.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t want them to escape and immediately circled around, attempting to catch a sheep directly.

Who knew, in the terrain of the forest, the sheep, familiar with the geography, ran much faster than he did.

"Poseidon Mode!"

After losing sight of the fleeing flock, Chu Mingcheng did not hesitate to activate Poseidon Mode.

A surge of power even stronger than before filled his body, and without time to properly savor it, he shot out instantly.

His sprinting speed soon allowed him to catch up with an adult female goat.

Sensing danger approaching, the female goat swiftly turned around.

But this time, it was being chased by a human in cheat mode, whose agility and reaction speed were superior to its own.

As it turned, Chu Mingcheng decisively lunged, successfully tackling the female goat to the ground.

The pinned down female goat bleated incessantly, its limbs flailing but unable to resist.

Chu Mingcheng was about to grab the legs of the female goat to lift her up when he realized there were two lambs standing anxiously nearby, occasionally bleating at him.

His expression froze—could they be the offsprings of this female goat?

The two critters were still lambs, probably not long after birth, still in their infancy.

He immediately checked the underside of the female goat and saw her udders were full.

"..."

With a light sigh, Chu Mingcheng released the female goat.

If he caught their mother, these two lambs might not survive in the flock.

Causing two little ones to starve just to satisfy his hunger was something he couldn’t do.

The freed female goat immediately ran towards the lambs and promptly whisked her children away.

Although Chu Mingcheng let the female goat go, he had not given up on sheep meat.

He quickly went back to pull out the javelin and then followed the direction in which the male goats had fled.

If he found a female, she might still be nursing, and he couldn’t bear to harm her.

It would be better to target the male goats; there were three in total, and eliminating one would prevent them from fighting over mating rights.

It was now past three in the afternoon, and Chu Mingcheng was getting anxious. He needed to return before dark, so Jiang Luoluo wouldn’t worry.

With Poseidon Mode activated, his speed through the forest was faster; the faint bleats guided him to the goats’ whereabouts.

This time, within a matter of minutes, Chu Mingcheng found the goats again.

The flock, having dispersed in panic, had regrouped into a small bunch, and the rest were likely to return to the flock before long.

Chu Mingcheng spotted two males and, without hesitation, charged at them.

The flock scattered again in fear, but with Poseidon Mode on, Chu Mingcheng caught a male goat almost instantly.

Immense strength pinned the male goat to the ground; he then set aside the javelin, grabbed the goat’s head with both hands, and twisted.

A series of crunching sounds emitted, and the ram died instantly.

Done!

Chu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, hoisted the goat on his shoulders, picked up the javelin, and prepared to leave.

The other startled sheep did not continue to flee but watched him from a distance until he disappeared from sight.

Chu Mingcheng kept Poseidon Mode on and hastened his return. Only when he could see the beach did he turn it off.

Then, with the goat on his back, he slowly made his way down to the beach below.

Jiang Luoluo had been waiting in the cockpit, keeping an eye on both the beach and the surroundings.
