It looked like the Snow Eagle’s food was the most common worm. He did not know if the earthworms in the soil were to his liking, but Zhuo Bufan was unlikely to follow the Great Snow Eagle and look for worms to fill his hunger.
The most he would do was to flip through the soil to see if there were any delightful gains.
Looking at the big one and two smaller ones, Zhuo Bufan had a feeling that they were making things worse in a bad situation.
But the foremost reason why he landed himself in this was because he was kind and could not bear to see the two little snow eagles die outside.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhuo Bufan packed his things and looked at the hammock in the corner. Back then, the reason why he made the hammock was because there was a shortage of materials, yet he did not want to sleep on the floor.
He couldn’t say that he had everything now, but he still had a few tools. He could cut some wood to make a bed that was enough for one person.
He couldn’t just sleep in the hammock forever, his waist wouldn’t be able to bear the strain.
Rolling up his sleeves, Zhuo Bufan carried his ax and planned to enter the forest. Through these two days of exploration, he already discovered that quite a few trees had already reached the age where they could be chopped.
Zhuo Bufan did not enter the forest right away even after he had walked right up to the entrance. That was because that Snow Eagle had actually followed over at some point.
“Little guy, you want to go in with me?”
The Snow Eagle landed safely after flapping its wings twice, and twisted its body as it slowly waddled to Zhuo Bufan’s side.
Although hit did not understand human language, Zhuo Bufan felt that this guy could understand the meaning in his words.
“Fine. Then come with me.”
It was rare that there were other creatures in the territory. Even if they did not communicate well with him, it was better than being alone.
Entering the forest, the Snow Eagle came to a place it was familiar with. It flapped its large wings and directly flew up the tree, staring at Zhuo Bufan cutting down the tree with a condescending look.
Fortunately, the axe was relatively sharp. After a few dozen strikes, the tree showed signs of falling over. Zhuo Bufan exerted a little strength, and the entire tree fell.
He chopped off the excess branches on the spot, leaving only the relatively intact main trunk. By the time the sky turned completely dark, he had already successfully obtained eight trunks.
But the problem of obtaining so many meant that transportation was going to be a problem. However, Zhuo Bufan’s thoughts were never one-dimensional. He placed the eight logs horizontally in front of him, letting them roll along the path back to his campsite!
Although it was a little slow, he would be able to get everything in a single trip. Otherwise, he would have to resort to multiple trips just to ferry everything back and forth.
After expending a lot of effort, he finally brought the wood to the front of the hut. Zhuo Bufan looked at this simple hut in front of him and could not help but recall Anasu having a castle.
Although he did not yearn for a castle, a house made of bricks should be sturdier than this house.
However, it was already too late today. He could only start preparing tomorrow and make a slightly more decent home. This way, if there were other guests coming to the territory in the future, it wouldn’t appear too shabby.
After shoring up the fire around his little hut, he belatedly realized that he had forgotten to get food again. Zhuo Bufan could only take out a few sour fruits to eat, barely alleviating the hunger in his stomach.
The next day, sunlight shone in from the window. Zhuo Bufan was woken up by the sunlight streaming in. Just as he was sleepily thinking about turning over and adjusting his posture, he realized that there was something on his face.
He reached out to brush it impatiently, but it turned out to be a soft and fuzzy creature!
Immediately, Zhuo Bufan, who had a bad feeling, fell straight down from the hammock. He looked in dismay at the huge green worm on his hand.
Moreover, it looked as though it had just died.
‘Why would a bug crawl onto my face all of a sudden?’ Zhuo Bufan then thought of the Snow Eagle. Could it be that this bug was brought back by it?
Thinking up to here, Zhuo Bufan looked around. Other than the two little ones who were howling and waiting to be fed in the bird’s nest, there was no trace of the adult Snow Eagle.
Leaving the worm’s corpse to the little snow eagles, Zhuo Bufan came to the side of the well’s mouth to draw water in order to clean the dirt from the worm off his hands.
After washing himself clean, Zhuo Bufan came in front of the eight logs, pondering about how to turn this pile of wood into a bed.
It was not an easy task to make it more comfortable without delicate equipment. The final idea that came to mind was to tie the eight pieces of wood in a row and find some hay on top.
In this way, there was already a prototype of a bed. As for luxury items like mattresses, it would depend on whether there was a way to make them in the future.
In order to make his bed, Zhuo Bufan did not even have time to eat lunch. Since he still had to participate in the arena competition, he finished processing the logs and went straight to the teleportation door, directly moving to the arena.
When he arrived, he found that Song Chenxing and Anasu had already gotten off the stage.
Anasu was crestfallen. From the looks of it, she had lost today.
At this moment, Aika was struggling with her opponent. At this moment, it was difficult to see who had the greater advantage.
“Beautiful sister, don’t be unhappy. Victory and defeat are common in war; I think you should have heard of this saying.”
Anasu furrowed her brows, her palm-sized little face aggrieved. “But I don’t want to lose. Currently, I haven’t gathered all the pieces of my Goddess’ Faulds, so I haven’t released all of its power yet. The other races have seen through my flaws, but fortunately, nothing happened to me in the arena. I wouldn’t even dare imagine what the consequences would be.”
Perhaps it was because Anasu’s statement that he did not die on the stage reminded Zhuo Bufan, making him remember that he absolutely could not die on the stage. He would rather suffer heavy injuries than die.
Perhaps it was because the arena matches had long passed those exciting earlier days. From yesterday onwards, so long as a victor was determined, those humans would immediately ask to be teleported back to their territory.
No one cared who would win in the round after them.
“Wow! In the past two days, the human race has been leading far ahead in terms of wins. However, the Demon Race is catching up, and they seem to be surpassing us.”
These words were said by Tripitaka. Zhuo Bufan turned his head over and asked with a puzzled look, “You’re still secretly calculating such things?”
Tripitaka turned to look at Zhuo Bufan, “I don’t have that kind of intention. Didn’t you know that last night, the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield underwent a small-scale update, and this update was specifically targeted at the arena matches?”
With Tripitaka’s reminder, Zhuo Bufan discovered that there was now indeed an arena battle ranking. Calculating the outcome of each race yesterday, the Human Race had the most wins so far, followed by the Demon Race.
However, this ranking did not have much use at the moment. It could only increase the troubles between races.
“Currently, of those in the human race still in the arena, there are eight other people who have the Immovable Radiant King Armor. If we can persist until the last day using the effect of the armor, then we will be able to occupy the top of the rankings all the time, and the Demon Race will not seize the initiative.”
Tripitaka also nodded in agreement, “This is the best outcome. Benefactor Aika barely won her round. It’s time for This Penniless Monk to go on stage.”
The moment Aika teleported back from the ring, she leaned against the wall and then slumped to the floor. It looked like she’d put a lot of effort into dealing with her opponent.
“Do you feel alright?”
Zhuo Bufan took the initiative to step forward and ask. Aika looked up and said with a pained expression, “I feel that I’ve already reached the end of this arena journey..”
