Absolute Death Game-Chapter 475 - 50: Paradise Island_2

Splashing through, a strange noise suddenly came from the bushes on the left. Xiao Buli hurriedly ran toward the sound, activating his Qinggong without making too much noise, gently parted the branches, and a wild rabbit the size of a calf appeared before him.

"Luck is not bad," Xiao Buli thought to himself, but he dared not act rashly.

This kind of large wild rabbit was one of the few animals in the forest that did not attack proactively and belonged to the lower end of the food chain. However, as the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window. Although this rabbit was like a mobile meat depot, its daunting speed made it troublesome. So, despite its clumsy appearance, this rabbit had a rather cool name: Lightning Rabbit.

Xiao Buli had previously seen such rabbits in the forest, and even when he used Cloud Thunder Leap, it had still managed to escape. He blamed it on the high vantage point of Cloud Thunder Leap, as it had been difficult to see the rabbit's escape route clearly. But at that time, Xiao Buli didn't need the rabbit to deal with his own food shortage. However, now, the rabbit seemed much more important to him than before, so he decided to change his strategy.

The gray-black rabbit kept wriggling its half-sized mouth, eating while warily looking around. Occasionally, it would thump and drag its fat behind to change position. Just looking at its clumsy, fat appearance, who would have thought it could run so fast.

Xiao Buli had never truly hunted before, but he knew of a pocket formation spell, commonly used by groups of hunters to encircle their prey. They surrounded the game from three directions, but they did not use deadly force, and constantly herded the game to drive it towards a predetermined escape route. What appeared to be a way out was actually a path to death, where sharpshooters lay in ambush to kill the unsuspecting prey with a single shot.

Although Xiao Buli seemed to be alone, turning into four was not difficult. He picked his directions, planned his moves in his mind, and in a flash, he used Chaotic Shadow Split and three clones appeared swiftly at three different points.

The real him went invisible and blocked the fourth position. Startled by the sudden disturbance, the rabbit – as mentioned before, belonging to the bottom of the food chain in the Barbaric Forest – did the only thing it knew when facing any threat: it bolted. Almost simultaneously, its plump body catapulted forward.

But, just as it dashed away, a sword was already waiting on its inevitable path.

Electro-Light Sword!

The blade pierced straight into the rabbit's body, killing it instantly.

Xiao Buli secured his weapon and happily dissected the rabbit's carcass. Looking at the growing meat pile in his backpack, he thought to himself that this should solve his food needs for about ten days.

After dissecting the rabbit, he continued forward. Roughly fifteen minutes later, the trees suddenly opened up, and Xiao Buli found himself facing a moderately sized high ground. But all this was not enough to capture his attention. What surprised him was that around the mound, there was a wall made of wood and beast bones, about three meters high, obscuring the view of the other side.

In this place, at the edge of the Barbaric Forest, why was there such a fortress-like area? Could it be, like the ancient city he encountered earlier, another relic? Xiao Buli walked around the wall for a while, noticing it was very sturdily built. Although some of the trees making up the wall had sprouted anew due to the damp weather, it seemed that the structure had not been abandoned.

"Welcome to Paradise Island, traveler from afar," a melodious and rhythmic voice suddenly rang out above him, startling Xiao Buli, who looked up.

The face of a man with a beard merging into his hair appeared above him, peering over the wall at Xiao Buli. It seemed that the facade of the wall was the head of this village.

"Uh, hello, I'm just passing through, looking for some water to drink," Xiao Buli replied offhand, thinking this NPC appeared to be a friendly neutral unit. However, the sudden presence of a person in such a place couldn't help but arouse suspicion in him.

The bearded head, upon hearing Xiao Buli's words, didn't seem particularly happy or sad but continued in his uniquely operatic tone, "We have sweet coconut juice for your consumption, and if you're hungry, there are various fresh fruits and jerkies, all free to enjoy." Xiao Buli breathed a sigh of relief, concluding that this NPC must be low-level, without independent thought, and likely posed no danger.

Guided by the NPC, Xiao Buli walked a short distance further, turned a corner, and suddenly the view opened up. He saw a large gate with the words "Paradise Island" crookedly formed out of wood. The tall wooden doors were wide open, as though welcoming him. The bearded head was now standing beneath the city gate, arms wide open in a welcoming gesture. Upon seeing Xiao Buli approach, he immediately bowed and extended a hand in an exaggeratedly welcoming motion, making Xiao Buli feel as if he was still inside an opera house.
