Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1072: Muscular Man Picks Up Tree Branch_1 Chapter 1178: Chapter 1072: Muscular Man Picks Up Tree Branch_1 Ivan was fully armed, even the rarely used[Iron-Blooded Face] was fitted onto his head, and he embarked on the journey once again, driving the bouncing car with great enthusiasm.

As for being killed in a flash without seeing anything…

That’s nothing!

Didn’t he get killed crazy repeatedly at the beginning when hunting an iron-blooded warrior?

Didn’t he catch and kill them eventually?

So, just charge head on!

Ivan put the pedal to the metal without any change in the route, charging straight towards the place where he was attacked before.

But this time he was fully focused, scanning his surroundings from a distance in an attempt to spot any clue about the prey.

He thought this process would be very long and he needed to die dozens of times to find a clue – just like the case with the iron-blooded warrior.

But surprisingly, on his second time around, he directly saw the target!

A vague shadow was moving through the forest at a flying speed, with its astonishing speed and the cover of the trees, this unknown alien creature looked like it was teleporting, rushing from a distance to Ivan’s face in less than five seconds!

“Блин!” Ivan yelled in surprise and instinctively jumped off the all-terrain vehicle.

But he severely underestimated the speed of the enemy.

Mid-air, he was hit hard in the waist, blood spraying out from his mouth, his eyes seeing red.

Afterwards, did he see a bloody big mouth?

Ivan wasn’t sure.

Because he was already dead.

After resurrecting again, Ivan felt something was off: “Did this thing just fly over?

With such a speed, is it even possible to hunt it down?”

“If you put such a thing into the hunting area, who can cope with it?”

“No, no.” Ivan soon shook his head, denying his own guess, “Cloud Dream has never designed a target that’s absolutely invincible, there must have been a mistake.”

In his live streaming room, live-streamer community were all exclaiming:

“Scared the hell out of me!

ƝονǤο.ƈ0

What was that?”

“Didn’t see clearly, did anyone see it?”

“Saw nothing clearly, even when slowing down to 0.2 times the speed, the only shape visible was of the four limbs.”

“That’s totally ridiculous, doesn’t it stop to slowly enjoy its prey?

What’s the gameplay of taking the anchor and flying away??”

…

Through Ivan’s constantly shifting perspective, the live-streamer community also saw the “teleporting” shadow in the forest.

Before they had time to gasp, they saw the shadow rush past, carrying the anchor out of the camera’s view.

Only the lone all-terrain vehicle was left running aimlessly in the shot…

The next time the scene changed, it returned to the respawn point.

So, those exclamation marks that had been left hanging turned into question marks.

Yet Ivan had already composed himself and set off again.

“I have figured it out, we can’t let that alien creature take the initiative!”

“If the prey is so fast, then don’t let it see me, disable its legs first!”

This time Ivan abandoned the bouncing car 1km away from the spot where he was attacked, choosing to proceed on foot.

While moving forward, he kept analyzing for his audience:

“Actually it’s no big deal, hunting wolves and bears originally required us to take the initiative, it’s just that this prey is more ferocious, choosing to attack us instead of escaping when startled.”

“All in all, not a big problem.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the “teleporting” shadow in the forest ahead…

Disregarding the “Hahaha” and “No problem” flowing in the comments, Ivan quickly knelt down on one knee and raised his hunting gun.

He only had one shot.

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

The battle was over.

After resurrecting, Ivan had three questions in a row:

“Did I hit it?”

“Did the creature get hurt?”

“How large is the hunting range of that thing?”

The audience couldn’t answer any of the three questions.

Ivan didn’t really expect anyone else to answer either.

He cleaned up and set off for the third time.

This time he got off the car two kilometers in advance and didn’t waste any more words along the way, proceeding cautiously.

But the result didn’t change –

When he spotted his prey, it was already charging at him.

The fourth time, he got off the car three kilometers away.

This time he stood still and waited for a good while.

He started moving only after he was sure that absurd alien creature didn’t appear.

He not only tried to tread as lightly as possible but didn’t dare to talk loudly either: “So, the alert range of this monster, could it be more than three kilometers?”

“That’s too exaggerated!”

However, something even more ridiculous happened soon: he accidentally stepped on a dry branch.

The sound it made probably wouldn’t even wake up the people sleeping in the live broadcast room, but that absurd monster rushed over from the end of his line of sight!

After resurrecting again, Ivan was almost driven mad: “Looking at the direction this thing is charging from, I’m downwind!

Can it hear this too!??”

He stood at the resurrection point, taking ten deep breaths to calm down before setting off again.

This time he was more careful, checking the ground before every step, more careful than if he was moving through a minefield.

But in the wilderness, not making any noise is not easy.

After unintentionally startling the monster and being killed for the sixth time, he put away his hunting knife and bullet belt.

The seventh time, he took off his shoes.

The eighth time, he tied his trouser legs tightly.

The ninth time, the tenth time…

After enduring much hardship, he finally…

Encountered an insolvable problem.

It was a large forest covered in dry branches and dead leaves.

He was almost certain that the mysterious alien creature was hiding there, but the dry branches and leaves on the ground were so plentiful that there was hardly a place for him to set his foot.

The moment he stepped on a dry branch, even the softest sound would instantly attract the monster.

Ivan thought about it and felt that the only feasible solution seemed to be the incredibly dumb “clean up the dry branches and dead leaves one by one”.

——Even lighting a fire wouldn’t work.

The sound of the lighter and the crackling of the burning leaves would both wake up this sensitive alien monster.

A muscular man like Ivan didn’t come here to pick up branches and clean up the forest!

He was looking forward to a thrilling fight!

Not bending down, delicately picking up dead leaves and branches like a sissy!

Only a madman would be willing to do such a thing!

At this point, he suddenly understood something——

“Wait!

Could this thing…

be one of Lincoln’s tricks?!”

“Aside from him, I can’t think of anyone else who would do something this tasteless!”

“He just wants to see us bent over, moving leaves one by one, right?!”

Ivan was somewhat agitated.

The price of this was getting hunted by an alien beast that charged from the woods again.

He was very upset.

But to give up like this, he just couldn’t bear to.

So, in the end, Ivan had no choice but to ask for help in his live stream room, to “move leaves” together.

But this was bound to be a long-term job.

——During unofficial events in “Hunter: Call of the Wilderness”, up to 8 people can play online at the same time.

It was almost impossible for 8 people to remove the leaves in a forest area larger than a soccer field without making any noise.

Even if Ivan just wanted to clear a passable path, it was still a tough job.

Of course, it was quite exciting.

After all, any small sound, even less than 10 decibels, and their eight-person team would be wiped out instantly!

If this wasn’t exciting, nothing else would be!
