Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 307: Finding the Bear Beast’s Den

"System, receive Spiritual Meditation Method."

Upon Xu Yi’s command, the information flooded into his mind.

Then, Xu Yi immediately mastered this skill.

Xu Yi felt it was indeed a bit like something that’s only understandable but not explainable.

To him, it’s not difficult.

But teaching others would be very challenging.

Overall, it’s quite mysterious.

Xu Yi sat up and entered the meditation state without needing any cross-legged pose or sitting, quite freely. Because it’s a mental cultivation, unrelated to the body.

As long as he was focused enough, he could enter the meditation state.

However, in this state, the perception of the outside world decreases. As long as he enters the meditation state, even in a noisy environment, it becomes relatively quiet for Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was highly satisfied with this Spiritual Meditation Method.

This weekly package is so powerful, then in a few days he can claim the monthly package, what kind of surprise will it bring?

After experiencing it for a while, Xu Yi ended the spiritual meditation. After all, he still needed to wake up and practice the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, and eat breakfast.

After dressing up and going out, Xu Yi saw the thick snow outside.

However, the sun had already risen, and the snow would soon start to melt.

Since he wore the Black Scale Soft Armor, Xu Yi was just wearing a regular jacket and didn’t feel cold.

"You wake up, I’ll go cook fresh milk and potatoes." Seeing Xu Yi awake, Lu Ke cleared the corridor for Xu Yi to practice the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

After all, she had practiced for almost an hour and was ready to cook breakfast.

By the time Xu Yi finished his practice, Lu Ke had also finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Yi and Lu Ke started making black pepper powder in the camp.

The peppers had been dried, but they hadn’t been turned into powder yet.

Since there’s nothing to do in the camp today, they just took some pepper and ground it into powder.

The iron blocks left behind by the Zhou Family, together with the wooden troughs Xu Yi fired, allowed them to start processing.

Most of the time, it was Lu Ke doing it, while Xu Yi was mostly in spiritual meditation.

Lu Ke felt Xu Yi was thinking about something and didn’t ask much, continuing her own pepper powder making. Although it requires patience, it’s very simple; she can do it alone without needing Xu Yi’s help.

And so, the morning passed.

Xu Yi, after half a day of cultivation, felt exceptionally refreshed, as if he had consumed something invigorating.

By morning’s end, Lu Ke had made a considerable amount of black pepper powder, probably about half a pound. Of course, it’s not comparable to store-bought, as it can’t be ground into a powder. Much is sandy and some is powdery.

So Lu Ke packed them separately.

After a morning of sunshine, most of the snow had melted, leaving at most thirty centimeters deep. At this depth, riding the giant ha and reindeer to go out would be fine.

Hence, they planned to go hunting after lunch.

Having eaten something simple and prepared water and jerky for the trip, Xu Yi walked to the deer pen.

Besides bringing out the saddle-equipped reindeer, Xu Yi wanted to use Taming Skills on another one.

He wanted to find out if, after half a day of spiritual meditation, the number of times he could use the skill would increase.

The result showed it didn’t.

However, after using it, Xu Yi felt he no longer experienced the sudden drain of energy sensation like before.

After all, he had only meditated for half a day.

Of course, if it was truly powerful, it shouldn’t be basic; it should be advanced.

Xu Yi had already planned to use Taming Skills on the other reindeer each time before taking it out and putting it back in the pen, to see when he could tame it.

He felt that using skills was also a way to strengthen Spiritual Power.

Leading the reindeer out and closing the door, Xu Yi mounted up.

The two of them ventured deep into the woods, hoping to encounter suitable targets.

The snow hadn’t completely melted yet.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke found some footprints in the snow, and these footprints looked quite large.

"Xu Yi, are these Bear Beast footprints?" Lu Ke asked, having eaten Bear Beast legs before, they knew what its footprints looked like.

"They look pretty similar. Let’s follow them and see. Maybe we can find its whereabouts." Xu Yi said, considering both of them had lengthened their weapons and now wore Black Scale Soft Armor, dealing with Bear Beasts was safer than before.

points, Xu Yi didn’t want to miss out.

Moreover, by the looks of it, Bear Beasts seem solitary, which reassured Xu Yi even more.

Lu Ke nodded, tightened her grip on the spear, held the reins and nudged the Giant Wolf with her heel, causing Giant Ha to move forward.

Following the footprints, they arrived at a place.

There was a pile of branches, resembling a large bird’s nest.

"This should be the Bear Beast’s den, right?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, gripping her spear tighter.

The Giant Ha under her appeared very uneasy but didn’t flee.

It’s quite possible the Bear Beast was inside the nest.

Xu Yi nodded, then dismounted and tied up the reindeer.

Xu Yi was just about to get a torch to burn the Bear Beast’s nest and directly burn the Bear Beast to death, avoiding a fight while earning 20 points.

Suddenly, a roar echoed from inside the nest, and a dark figure dashed out.

Indeed, it was the Bear Beast; it charged out and immediately lunged at Lu Ke and Giant Ha.

Lu Ke quickly thrust her spear.

The sharp spear pierced straight into the Bear Beast’s chest.

The Bear Beast let out a cry, grasping the spear, and Lu Ke was thrown off, landing on the ground.

Then, the Bear Beast hurled the spear.

Giant Ha glanced at Lu Ke then leaped at the Bear Beast. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At this moment, Xu Yi also rushed to the Bear Beast’s front, slashing his sword.

The target was clear—the Bear Beast’s arm.

The Bear Beast instinctively raised its arm to block Xu Yi’s sword.

The sword, known for cutting through anything, sunk into the Bear Beast’s arm, but didn’t sever it.

Meanwhile, Giant Ha clamped its jaws on the Bear Beast’s calf, pulling with all its might.

The pincer attack dealt damage to the Bear Beast.

However, the damage wasn’t lethal; instead, it enraged the Bear Beast completely.

"Giant Ha, run."

As the sword came free, Xu Yi shouted, then withdrew his weapon.

In that instant, the Bear Beast lunged, its claws swinging at Xu Yi.
