Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

It was a starving red wolf, its eyes bloodshot, with half of its fur being reddish-brown.

Compared to ordinary wolves, red wolves possess greater speed and stronger healing abilities.

It took a few steps towards Chen Qi but then seemed to sense something and retreated.

Despite its hunger, its animal instincts could still detect the danger inside the cave.

Simply put, this was a cowardly wolf.

"Not coming? Little dog?"

Chen Qi sat down, positioning the black blade within easy reach, then took out his backpack card.

Although the red wolf\'s eyes were blood-red and it looked fierce, it wasn\'t actually a demon that would bite people on sight.

Usually, they would not attack creatures stronger than themselves.

Chen Qi\'s current strength was not weak, coupled with the faint aura of the "Beast from the Water" emanating from the cave behind him.

Even though the red wolf was ravenous, it only dared to watch from a distance.

Red wolves, being somewhat intelligent and possessing decent fighting skills, were a popular choice for many players as a second-tier Guardian Beast.

Chen Qi opened the backpack card, taking out a simple barbecue stand as well as beef, pork, and some barbecue seasonings.

He had purchased these from shops in Moonstone City before entering the crack.

He was planning to grill meat right here!

Of course, grilling meat here was not simply because of hunger.

Chen Qi glanced at the meat in his backpack; his purpose was to entice.

Red wolves, as basic monsters in hunting grounds, do not provide many Spiritual Points or rating bonuses.

In the hunting grounds, as long as one can defeat the Hunter and complete the hidden task, one can directly obtain the highest rating score!

This meant that the key to hunting grounds was only one thing, that is the hidden boss of the crack:

The Hunter!

However, this was a group instance, and with high irregularity, the Hunter was an extremely difficult monster to deal with!

But despite this, with his and the Beast from the Water\'s combined strength, the Hunter was still no match for them!

However, unfortunately, the Beast from the Water was a typical territorial creature that wouldn\'t leave its territory easily.

That meant, the only real challenge now was how to lure the Hunter into the cave.

If Chen Qi actively sought out the Hunter, trying to lure him with lies, there would inevitably be some accidents.

After all, no one knows when the Hunter would transform into a monster and aim its hunting rifle at a human\'s head.

The Hunter needed fresh red wolf meat to satisfy his voracious appetite.

Therefore, the best approach was to "fish."

If one wanted to attract the scent-sensitive red wolves to a fixed location, delicious grilling meat was doubtless an excellent choice.

The aroma of the grilled meat should attract these red wolves... Chen Qi quietly took things out of his backpack card.

In this hunting ground, his prey was not the weak wolves.

Attracting red wolves with grilled meat, then through the red wolves attracting the Hunter, was his real goal.

These red wolves were merely bait.

Of course, whether it would be successful still required some luck.

Chen Qi fetched some branches, whittled them well with his black blade, then built a crude barbecue stand using charcoal.

All of it was high-quality beef and pork, marbled with fat, costing him a total of fifteen hundred Shell Coins.

Then, Chen Qi used the black blade to slice the beef and pork and placed them on the barbecue stand.

He lit the fire and began to grill!

Before long, the meat, caressed by the flames, turned crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

He sprinkled a bit of salt, a generous amount of sesame, and chili powder made from devil peppers—

The fragrance slowly wafted around.

Of course, there was also the most important Soul Seasoning!

Soul Seasoning could enhance the meat\'s natural deliciousness!

Chen Qi lifted his hand, grabbing a handful of cumin mixed with Soul Seasoning, and sprinkled it over the grilled meat.

The rich scent of the meat instantly permeated the forest.

[You have cooked grilled meat today, gaining 80 Spiritual Points.]

"It\'s ready."

Chen Qi contentedly sliced a piece of the grilled beef with his black blade and took a bite.

The skin was slightly charred and crispy, with just the right amount of chew!

"Quite good!"

Chen Qi ate another piece.

This effortless display of cooking skills directly dumbfounded the starving red wolf watching from the sidelines.

Not like this!

It didn\'t want to approach the dangerous Chen Qi, but now it felt that as long as it could eat a piece of meat, even if it died, that would be fine.

"Want it? Little dog."

Chen Qi smiled, looked towards the red wolf, cut off a small piece of meat with his black knife, and threw it to the red wolf.

Food thrown by humans... The red wolf hesitated for a moment but still opened its mouth, lowered its head, and ate the beef.

After eating the meat, the red wolf wagged its tail, spun around, and then ran into the forest.

Chen Qi wondered whether this piece of meat would cause the red wolf to call its companions.

Without much confidence, Chen Qi cut the roasted meat into many portions, then walked around the cave, scattering the roasted meat on the ground.

As long as this meat attracted the wolf pack, drawing the old hunters would just be a matter of time.

After making his round, he returned to the entrance of the cave and sat in front of the barbecue rack.

Next was the wait for the prey to take the bait.

Chen Qi continued to grill meat.

Some time passed.

Hiss hiss hiss—

The weeds in the forest made a subtle noise.

Finally took the bait, huh...

No, that\'s not right!

Chen Qi turned his head slightly, frowned, and reached out his hand to firmly grasp his black knife.

In the weeds, he could vaguely see the barrels of guns and dark hair.

Before the wolves, it seemed he had caught a rabbit first.

Bang! Bang!

After a brief discussion, four members of the Black Rabbit Gang emerged from the bushes.

"We meet again, Supervisor!"

And the leader was none other than Scarface Rabbit, an officer of the Black Rabbit Gang.

Some time had passed since the hunt began.

At this moment, many bloodstains from red wolves were visible on Scarface Rabbit\'s body.

It seemed they had done quite well with their task of hunting red wolves.

Bad news indeed... Chen Qi shook his head, hid the Collector behind him, and said coldly,

"What do you want? If you\'re after the Supervisor\'s map, then you need to pay a price."

He had no affection for a gang whose main business was human trafficking.

"A price?"

Scarface Rabbit\'s mouth twitched slightly.

This guy, all alone, dared to talk about a price with him?

If it weren\'t for the old Hunter choosing him as the Supervisor, they would have attacked the moment they met.

Scarface Rabbit suppressed the urge to attack and glanced at Chen Qi.

There was no blood on Chen Qi, which meant he hadn\'t fought with any wolves.

Besides, Chen Qi had set up a barbecue rack here, so the cave behind him could very likely be a well-supplied safe spot.

It seems he was just another person who chose to \'survive three days,\' too timid to fight the red wolves.

Scarface Rabbit smiled inwardly and pulled out two anesthetic darts from his belt pouch:

"Supervisor, it seems you understand our motive, but you should know that some things are too valuable for you to handle."

"Give us the Supervisor\'s map, and we\'ll give you two anesthetic darts. With these, you can complete the task and get out alive.

Think about it, if the Flower Witch has her eyes on you and you become fertilizer, not even a corpse will remain."

While speaking, Scarface Rabbit walked towards Chen Qi.

Halfway there, Scarface Rabbit felt something was off, squeezed out a smile, and sneakily gestured with his hand:

"Of course, as long as you give us the map... we can help you catch wolves too..."

The moment Scarface Rabbit flashed a smile,

one of the gang members behind him, close to the tree, secretly pulled out a gun and aimed at Chen Qi.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, echoing through the forest.

What happened!

Scarface Rabbit turned around, and the gang member he had arranged to ambush was now shot, lying in a pool of blood:

"You fucking ambushed us—"

Ambush? No, this was an outright shooting.

Chen Qi blew a breath, twirled the Collector in his hand.

If he\'d caught a rabbit, then so be it.

Better to rid of these harmful rabbits.

After all, the scent of blood was also a fine lure.
