Exploring the Wilderness: Activating Proficiency in All Professions - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Monsters Appear

Maurey looked at him coldly with some hints of discontent in his gaze.

“Rascal, you should cherish the opportunity I give you. Don’t force me to make a move.”

David looked toward the campsite that was a short distance away and pointed at it. “Didn’t you notice those three bodies on the ground when you came here?”

Maurey faltered and stared at him in disbelief. “How… how did you know?”

David asked with a half-smile, “What do you think?”

When Maurey first arrived here, he found three corpses lying on the ground.

Of course, they had long lost their human forms, only left with broken limbs and torn flesh from being torn into by wild beasts. However, one could tell from their appearances that they were human.

He thought they had died because they had been attacked by wild beasts.

Hearing David’s words, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was it not a beast attack? Was it done by a human?

“It was you?” Maurey asked subconsciously.

“Have you seen anyone else since you arrived in this area?” David responded with a question once again, not directly admitting it.

It had been two days since Maurey came here. He had also walked around, but he did not see anyone else.

David was the first person he saw!

Maurey surveyed the youth in front of him once more. He had a young and tender face, but his gaze did not match his age.

The upper half of his body was naked. He had a waist bag hanging from his waist and a pair of shorts and straw sandals.

If they were in the city, people who dressed like this would be treated as savages.

Here, however, it was already considered the outfit of a very wealthy person.

His seemingly frail body, arms and chest were filled with muscles.

This was not a simple opponent!

Maurey laughed dryly. “I was just joking. You don’t have to take my words to heart.”

Seeing the other party yield, David reminded, “I don’t want to see you, just go.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll leave right now.” Maurey didn’t want to get into too much conflict.

He had barely managed to come to this side and successfully survive.

If he really clashed with another participant, it wasn’t worthwhile regardless of whether he were to win or lose.

The island also lacked medical resources.

David smirked when he saw Maurey leave obediently.

If the other party wasn’t sensible, he wouldn’t mind making a move!

Everyone in the livestream started laughing.

“What’s going on with Maurey? He was fooled by David in a few words?”

“Haha, Maurey is such a poor thing.”

“He’s all brawn and no brains.”

“David did a good job with his pretense.”

The rain had no intention of stopping. If he was close to his lodging, he could run back.

However, this place was about a kilometer away from where he lived. He would fall sick easily if he were to run back from here.

Although he had medical skills, he did not have the ability to resist risks.

The heavy rain lasted for a good hour and a half, and David finally returned to his lodging.

Apart from the fire being put out, everything else was intact.

He had placed Luca and the bird egg in the thatched hut. They were on higher ground and were not affected by the heavy rain.

Luca chirped when it saw him return, seeming to be delighted.

The air was fresh after the rain. David walked over to Luca and opened its cage.

“If you listen to me, I won’t lock you up anymore. Do you understand?”

“Chi chi…”

David took that as a yes. He opened the cage and let it out.

Luca grew very quickly. In just a few days, it had grown to the size of a bamboo rat.

It could even change its color at any time, just not as freely as its mother.

“Chi chi…” Luca came before him and circled around him without end.

One could tell that it was extremely happy and excited.

David chuckled. Seeing that it was still early, he continued to make pottery.

As his pottery skills improved, his success rate also increased greatly.

All four clay pots he made were successful.

Then, he placed all the jerky that had been dried in the afternoon sun inside.

During this period of exploration, he had found a plant.

Its branches and leaves possessed an excellent sealing effect. They could be used to cover the top of the pot and then add more clay to seal up the gaps.

This way, the food could be preserved for a very long time.

When he was done, he looked up and saw Luca looking around.

Its neck was stretched and it was constantly surveying the surroundings with his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a shout, it seemed especially anxious.

The source of the voice was from the north, which was where Morton and company were at.

“Chi chi chi…” Luca also heard the shout, he immediately dashed towards the source of it.

“Hey, stop right there!” David shouted, but Luca had no intention of stopping.

David was helpless. If he had known earlier, he would not have let this little guy out. He did not expect it to be so disobedient.

For safety reasons, he picked up his club and headed north.

Passing through the traps he had set, he saw Luca running ahead as if nothing had happened.

He could not help but become suspicious, many wild beasts would fall into my traps.

But Luca passed through them so easily as if it had learned about them in advance?

David hurriedly followed. He did not run far before he heard a roar.

At this moment, in the main livestream, everyone was shocked.

This was because they got a clear view of everything that had happened.

There was a huge lizard that was about five meters tall with a long head and a massive body that was about 10 meters long.

It had very thick skin covered with barbs.

A human was like an ant before it.

Even Ally was shocked when she saw this scene. “What is this!”

Wade frowned. “This is an Ancient Lizard, a very dangerous existence.”

The viewers in the livestream also became excited.

For some unknown reason, many participants had gotten food these two days.

It was originally a survival program, but many people had easily obtained food.

Quite a number of viewers found it meaningless. It was not as exciting as the previous few seasons.

Most people watched such programs because of their pursuit of novelty.

Right now everyone on the island was living comfortably.

Then there was nothing worthy for them to continue watching.

With such a huge lizard appearing out of nowhere, the number of people in the livestream increased exponentially.

A friend of a friend telling his friend, together with the news spreading on the Internet, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Many people were shocked when they saw this sight.

“No way, it’s huge, that’s way too scary.”

“It’s even right next to where Morton and company are living. They’re in a very dangerous situation right now.”

“It’s obvious that the monster’s skin is very thick. Normal weapons won’t be able to penetrate it.”

“Even with a gun, such thick armor would be difficult to get past, let alone ordinary weapons.”

Just as everyone was wondering what Morton and company would do next, they realized that the scene had cut to another location.

The audience was shocked to find that it wasn’t just Morton’s side where huge monsters had appeared.

In other locations, there were also different types of monsters making their appearance!
