The Magical Beast Forest was another name for the Rocky Mountains, and the dominators of this forest were magical beasts. The Magical Beast Forest was divided into the inner, outer, and middle rings. The highest level of magical beasts in the middle ring of the Magical Beast Forest could reach the sixth rank. As for the inner ring, the lowest level magical beasts were at the seventh rank. Only the outer ring could be considered relatively safe, with magical beasts below the fourth rank. Most adventurers were active in the outer ring, and only those powerful adventurer geniuses could move around in the middle ring. To date, no adventurer had ever completed the mission to cross the entire Magical Beast Forest.
The Rocky Mountains could be said to be boundless, but there was only one ruler of this forest, and that was the Flaming Tiger King, the matchmaker. It was also because of the Flaming Tiger King that the Rocky Mountains had become a paradise for magical beasts. Under the deterrence of the matchmaker, those greedy people could not take the risk and slaughter in the forest. It should be known that magical beasts were full of treasures, and the resources in the forest were very envious, especially those ancient ruins. The excavation of each ruin was always accompanied by the rise of some lucky people.
Miao Miao left the caravan in the middle of the night. Compared to the speed of the caravan, if Miao Miao were to travel at full speed, she would only need about an hour to reach the forest. After leaving Lili, Miao Miao's heart was filled with a faint sense of sorrow. After all, they had been together for seven years. Watching a young girl grow into a qualified little loli, this feeling of separation was still very sad.
Miao Miao didn't have time to think. She stood at the edge of the forest. There were no shrubs, no grass, no small trees. The shortest tree was four meters tall. Every tree was close to each other, competing for the resources needed to grow. However, there were still some weeds and shrubs under these trees, desperately absorbing the leftovers left behind by these tall trees to grow healthily.
This would be the place where Miao Miao would rest and fight for a long time in the future. It was full of danger, even more dangerous than the Samsara Space. After all, the most powerful Boss in the Samsara Space would not exceed Miao Miao's strength by much. However, in this forest, she might die here if she was not careful. The upper limit of the Boss 'strength here was level 9. Once a strong person of this level appeared, he could kill Miao Miao in one breath. There was no trace of luck.
This was a world where strength reigned supreme. If one wanted to live freely, the first thing they needed was strength. Just like the matchmaker who stood at the top of the world, the lowly had no right to make their own voices heard.
Miao Miao, who was standing in front of the forest, did not hesitate at all. She had already come this far, so there was no need to hesitate. Any hesitation would be disrespectful to herself. Like lightning, Miao Miao plunged into the forest that was filled with danger and opportunities.
The forest at night was dangerous, especially a forest full of night-time animals. Carnivores usually came out to hunt at night, which was also the time for herbivores to rest. At this time, the success rate of hunting would greatly increase.
However, hunting was not an easy task in such a forest. Animals that had been in dangerous environments for a long time had a perception of danger far beyond Miao Miao's imagination. Even a bunny's reaction speed and attack power far exceeded their close relatives in Asconte. It even made people suspect that they were the same species.
A black shadow flashed. This was Miao Miao's third failed hunt. The reaction of a bunny was already so fast. It was already as fast as a 2nd-tier magical beast. In addition, the rabbit had an explosive power. If it was not controlled at the beginning, it would disappear in an instant. Moreover, its fur was black, and it was especially inconspicuous in the dark forest. If one wanted to catch it, they could only rely on surprise attacks.
It was easy to say that it was unexpected, but it was much more difficult than one could imagine. The trees in the Magical Beast Forest were all tall, and they were evergreen all year round. It was fine if they were evergreen, but they were especially dense. If one wanted to hide, it was naturally better to be dense. However, every time they came out of the leaves, there would always be a sound. This sound and the distance were enough for those jumping rabbits to react and escape.
Of course, one night was still a long time, and there were still many chances of failure. If this situation continued, it would be very difficult for Miao Miao to get food for a long time. People always grew up in failure. It was difficult for people who had never experienced failure to enjoy the joy of success.
The night always passed quickly. When dawn arrived the next day, the sun shone on the entire forest. Miao Miao had not caught any prey for the entire night. There were four jumping rabbits, five pearl chickens, and even the Mockingbird. Miao Miao was tired and hungry after a night of failure. What she wanted the most was to find a safe place to sleep.
Camping in this forest would be irresponsible. This was the Magical Beast Forest, not a safe attic.
It was very difficult to find a safe and comfortable place in the forest, especially in this dangerous forest. Any poisonous insect could take your life.
Under such circumstances, a cave was a very good choice. However, a large cave was not something that a magical beast of Miao Miao's level could occupy. Therefore, they could only find some small caves to live in. These caves had to be hidden and comfortable enough. Such caves were not easy to find.
If he wanted to find a good ownerless cave, he first had to be high. There were usually no preys in high places, and there were usually no predators in places without preys. In general, the absence of predators meant safety.
The Rocky Mountains were called a mountain range because they had many small peaks. In fact, there were more than 100,000 mountains in the entire Rocky Mountains, including some small hills and hills. There were simply too many tall places.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy to find a suitable cave, but it was not a problem to find one. As Miao Miao searched step by step, although her stomach had been protesting for a long time, this did not dispel Miao Miao's desire to find a place to live. After all, cats lived to eat and sleep.
Finally, Huang Tian didn't disappoint the painstaking person. Miao Miao finally found a small cave about half a meter high and half a meter wide at the top of a small mountain peak. Although it was only a small mountain, it was only compared to other mountains. If one had to really say, this mountain was actually not much shorter than Mount Tai in his previous life.
The temperature on the mountain was a little low, but the cave was surprisingly warm and comfortable. As for why it was so warm and comfortable, the faint smell of sulfur in the air explained the reason. This also explained why there were no snakes or insects here.
Since they had found a place to stay and it was so comfortable, the next step was naturally to find something to eat. The buggy rabbit that he had prepared earlier in the ring came in handy. After leaving the cave, he found a small stream, flicked out a sharp knife, and cut open the rabbit's stomach. He took out its internal organs and unwanted things, set up a fire, and sprinkled some spices on it. He quietly waited for the rabbit meat to be fully cooked. Don't ask where the seasoning came from. After all, Assassins and Rogues were both Thieves.
As an otaku from the New Era who had never cooked before, the only thing he knew how to make was instant noodles and ham. It was impossible to cook something delicious on his first time. It was already the greatest achievement to barely be able to eat it, let alone roasting it, which was the most challenging cooking method.
Miao Miao's face was filled with anger as she chewed on the rabbit meat that was charred on the outside but still raw on the inside. At this moment, Miao Miao recalled the junk food from the barbecue stalls in her previous life. Compared to that, Miao Miao would rather eat junk food. At least it was delicious.
After barely filling her stomach, Miao Miao packed some dry grass and leaves along the way, as well as a ragged rabbit skin, before returning to the cave. He spread the hay and rabbit skin on the ground to build a simple and soft bed. The bed was not comfortable. It could even be said to be uncomfortable. The floor was uneven and there was only one layer of rabbit skin. However, even though it was such an uncomfortable bed, Miao Miao, who was already exhausted, was lying on it. Under such circumstances, she did not have the energy to care about these things. It was already good enough to have a place to sleep. Not long after, Miao Miao fell into a deep sleep on the simple bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Miao Miao woke up from her sleep. The sky outside had already turned dark, leaving only the faint starlight and moonlight shining on the quiet forest, draping a layer of silver-white gauze over the silent forest.
Behind this calm was blood and brutality. In this forest, there was only eating and being eaten, chasing and fleeing. It was filled with filth and blood. Only the truly strong could survive here, while the weak could only think of ways to strengthen themselves. This world was just so cruel.
Either he became stronger, or he became food for others, making others stronger. The rules of the Magical Beast Forest were so cruel. The beasts born here were all strong and tenacious. Even a bunny had the right to become stronger. Even if the opportunity was slim, at least there was a direction to fight, right?
Miao Miao walked out of the cave with graceful steps, bathing in the power of the stars and moon as she stretched her body. There was no time to waste. There were only three servings of food left. If they still didn't find anything after three days, Miao Miao would be in an awkward situation of starvation. Even if he wanted to become stronger, he couldn't do it without sufficient food.
In the end, the restriction of food was still too great for Miao Miao. If she spent a lot of time on food every day, how could she find opportunities to train herself? This kind of growth was still too slow.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with himself, who was running around for food now, he thought that he could not do anything without food. This was also an iron rule, right? The problem of food could only be found in the reincarnation space when he came back from the reincarnation world next time. As for now, it was better to obediently go and find something to eat.
Bathed in the stars and moon, Miao Miao once again embarked on her hunting journey.
