Ling Ye speculated that there were two reasons why his digestion and absorption ability could not continue to increase.
Firstly, the effects of the three reddish-black fruits could only reach this level. It was like the medicinal pills in the fantasy world. They were only effective for people below a certain realm. Once they reached a certain realm, they were useless.
The second was the problem of Ling Ye's life level.
Ling Ye was still a mutated deer. Although he was strong and had a longer lifespan than ordinary deer, he was still not a real spiritual beast like those in fantasy novels.
"So, if I want to continue to become stronger, I have to break through the threshold of two years old, or find a spiritual herb and eat it, praying for a good change in my body," Ling Ye analyzed in his heart as he lay on the ground.
In reality, he was already more than four months old, but his physique was obviously much stronger than his peers. He was even bigger than a six-month-old deer. This was purely because Ling Ye had been eating and digesting the food.
The more they ate, the more they absorbed, and naturally, they grew faster.
Some of the deer jumped around Ling Ye, and some of them deliberately rubbed against Ling Ye, as if they wanted to play together.
Ling Ye naturally didn't have the time to care about them.
He looked at the herd of deer.
Today, the number of deer had been reduced from 20 to 17. This was all thanks to the Xing Country's soldiers who had been hunting in the mountains this month.
Originally, they would enter the mountain once every four or five days. This month, the frequency had increased greatly. It had increased to once every three days, and then once every two days.
The deer received their special care.
Fortunately, they focused on the lone stag, and the female deer and young deer were not their first target. Otherwise, the number of deer would have been reduced by seven or eight.
"Recently, humans have been entering the mountains more frequently. This can't go on. I don't know what's going on outside the mountains. The progress of the simulation is giving me a headache." Ling Ye shook his head in his heart. He felt that things weren't going well recently.
A female deer suddenly cried out, and the surrounding deer immediately reacted.
Ling Ye looked in a certain direction warily. He heard human voices and beast roars.
"This voice is a tiger!"
Ling Ye's heart skipped a beat.
This mountain range was very big. He had long known that there were tigers here. When he was a month old, the deer herd was really attacked by a tiger. He was really frightened at that time.
Tigers were known as the king of beasts. Among carnivores, only bears could rival them. Even lions were like little brothers in front of tigers.
The herd of deer quickly moved away.
In the process, Ling Ye realized that the humans were not here to capture them, but to chase after a sub-adult tiger.
Ling Ye didn't care.
His current plan was to endure one day at a time and strive to survive until he reached adulthood.
After successfully distancing themselves from the humans and tigers, the deer herd stopped to rest. Some of the hungry ones began to eat grass.
Ling Ye was the same. He was currently in the middle of his growth period, and his appetite was huge every day. It was comparable to eight or nine adult deer.
"If only there was meat to eat," Ling Ye thought as he ate.
Although humans had gone into the mountains to hunt many times this month, they did not bring hunting dogs with them every time. The few times the deer herd encountered pure human soldiers, Ling Ye did not have the chance to eat meat. As for some small animals, Ling Ye was unlucky enough to not encounter them at all. Ling Ye felt that it was not safe to leave the deer herd alone to look for food.
With all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, Ling Ye slowly waited for the next day to arrive. He was just one more simulation point away from reaching three points.
Night gradually fell, and the deer herd leaned against each other to rest.
The female deer surrounded the circle, and the young deer was in the middle. Although Ling Ye was strong, he was still a young deer in terms of size.
"Hu ~~~ Hu ~~~"
In his comfortable sleep, Ling Ye's sharp animal instincts made him feel a cold sense of danger approaching.
Opening his eyes, Ling Ye saw a wild figure approaching the herd of deer. Its footsteps were almost soundless, but there was a hint of blood in its aura.
This was a carnivore!
As if realizing that he had been discovered, the figure simply could not be bothered to approach quietly. It directly pounced on a female deer on the outermost layer.
The surrounding female deer were all startled awake. One of them reacted quickly, but its movement speed was not fast enough. It was directly bitten by this figure.
With the help of the moonlight, Ling Ye saw what it was. It was the half-grown tiger that the soldiers had chased during the day.
There were two bows and arrows on its back, and blood was oozing out. However, its body could move freely, and its eyes were filled with the ferocity of an extremely hungry stomach.
The female deer that was bitten instantly died. The sub-adult tiger let go of its mouth and looked greedily at the other deer.
This guy obviously didn't intend to stop.
It was injured and needed more food than usual.
It pounced again, and it was heading towards the position of a deer.
The other female deer had already reacted and fled after the female deer had been sacrificed. However, the young deer obviously did not have such an ability. Its speed and reaction were both slow.
Seeing that the young deer was about to die, Ling Ye exerted force on his four limbs. His muscles, which were comparable to the muscles of the top carnivores, exploded. Ling Ye directly approached the sub-adult tiger.
With his forelimbs on the ground and one of his feet as the starting point, he quickly turned 180 degrees.
Immediately after, Ling Ye kicked with all his might.
The entire movement took less than a second, only about half a second. This was the result of Ling Ye's continuous improvement of his kicking skill proficiency in the storyline simulation.
This half-grown tiger did not expect a deer to stop it, nor did it expect such a fierce attack.
"Bang!"
Ling Ye's hind legs collided with the tiger's abdominal muscles.
The intense pain caused the half-adult tiger's pouncing momentum to disintegrate. It was in so much pain that it was gasping and even its entire body fell to the side.
After Ling Ye's attack succeeded, he quickly turned around and attacked again.
He knew that he couldn't kill the tiger with one strike, so he had to pursue it.
Without waiting for the tiger to stand up, Ling Ye once again used a roundhouse kick, this time aiming at one of the tiger's hind legs.
If a beast lost a leg, its movement would be greatly affected, even if it was a tiger.
With a loud crack and the tiger's painful cry, Ling Ye succeeded again.
The surrounding deer herd was already dumbfounded.
Although they did not have the rich expressions and intelligence of humans, they stood still. Some of the female deer who had originally planned to escape also looked at this scene in a daze. This showed how shocked they were at the scene in front of them.
