Chapter 2310 - 2309: Ate Too Much
With a thud, the big bird fell to the ground and didn’t move.
Ling Feng sat up with a pained expression, scooted backwards, and leaned against a tree, taking a few deep breaths.
After a while, he came to his senses and couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh, saying, "Damn, I’ve never been at such a loss before!"
If word got out that he was almost crushed to death by a bird, people would probably laugh their heads off, right?
His chest still hurt a bit, but Ling Feng forced himself to stand up and walked over to the big bird to take a look.
This guy weighed at least over two hundred pounds; he didn’t know what kind of bird it was, but he figured its meat should be edible!
So Ling Feng decided to leave it here for now and drag it back later. Promising Huzi they’d have meat for lunch was practically settled.
After cutting off the pale yellow, translucent beak, he lifted his Curved Saber and headed deeper into the forest.
The forest remained silent and Ling Feng’s steps were slow, once again becoming vigilant.
He walked slowly toward that tree, surprisingly without encountering any more attacks along the way.
Under the tree, Ling Feng looked up and shook his head helplessly.
The fruit he got down yesterday was all gone.
Even the tree branches were torn apart.
Obviously, the forest beasts also liked eating this kind of fruit.
How could it still be there after being left overnight?
Looking up at the top of the tree, Ling Feng muttered to himself, "Well, it seems I’ll have to re-experience the hardship of climbing a tree today!"
Ling Feng stood under the tree for a moment, took a deep breath, and jumped up to hug the tree trunk!
After climbing a certain distance, he distinctly felt stronger than yesterday.
Yesterday, reaching this height nearly exhausted his energy, but now he felt he could climb a bit more.
It showed that the Medicinal Pills Xiao Xiao gave him weren’t entirely useless; they were indeed helpful.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, holding onto the tree trunk while climbing up, with only one thought in mind: to reach the top and rest once he gets there!
With this determination, he never stopped and finally reached the treetop in one go.
He sat down at the fork in the tree branch and took a deep breath.
Resting for a good while, he looked up at the full tree of red fruit, thinking he should eat his fill first!
Without holding back, he started picking the fruit and gobbling them down ravenously.
The fruit wasn’t big; it tasted sweet, juicy, and quite delicious.
Ling Feng directly entered foodie mode, continuously picking fruit and stuffing them into his mouth, eventually losing track of how many he ate.
It had been a long time since he’d eaten like this.
Ling Feng was also trying to break free from ordinary physical constraints, really going all out.
Finally, he was so full he couldn’t eat any more, feeling like the fruit was caught in his throat, and only then did he stop.
Afterward, Ling Feng realized something rather embarrassing.
His belly was so round from eating too much that getting down from the tree was inconvenient!
Helplessly, he leaned back on a branch, thinking he’d just wait for digestion.
Leaning against the big tree was pleasantly cool; since it was taller than the other trees in the forest, a gentle breeze blew through, and Ling Feng felt quite comfortable.
But soon, as the fruit began digesting, he gradually felt a strong urge in his lower abdomen!
Now Ling Feng was embarrassed, needing to relieve himself urgently while up in the tree!
The sense of bladder urgency grew stronger, and Ling Feng thought, "To hell with it, there’s no one around anyway!"
So he just unfastened his pants and started relieving himself over the forest below.
A moment later, Ling Feng let out a long breath, finally feeling comfortable.
But as he was feeling relieved, a shriek came from below the tree!
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, looking down.
The dense foliage below blocked the view, revealing nothing.
But that scream was real, definitely not his imagination.
"Oh no, did I just pee on someone?" Ling Feng thought.
But then he wondered, given the poisonous bugs and beasts all over this forest, and only Ling Family Village nearby, how could anyone be down there?
People from Ling Family Village wouldn’t come here; if they did, it would’ve happened earlier.
While puzzling over this, a clear female voice called from below: "Is there someone up there?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was still dumbfounded, instinctively replying, "Yes, there is!"
After speaking, he regretted it.
But it was too late; the woman below immediately cursed, "You damn bastard, are you doing something nasty up there?"
"..."
Ling Feng was at a loss.
Pretending not to hear wasn’t an option, so after a brief silence, he could only smile bitterly and say, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know someone was down there, and I couldn’t hold it after eating too much fruit!"
"Just wait; when you come down, I’ll kill you!" the woman said harshly.
Ling Feng was helpless and quickly said, "Sorry, I really didn’t mean it!"
The woman was silent for a moment, then yelled, "If you don’t come down, I’m coming up!"
"Don’t!"
Ling Feng quickly replied, "The branches up here are too thin; if you climb up, they won’t support us, and we’ll both fall to our deaths!"
"Then come down!" the woman shouted.
Ling Feng thought to himself, "Am I stupid? Why would I go down there only to be killed?"
Thinking it over, he asked, "Are you here for the fruit? How about I throw some down for you? That way, you won’t have to climb, and it’ll count as my apology, agreed?"
There was silence from below, as the woman seemed to be weighing whether this was worth it,
After hesitating, she said, "Fine, toss them down!"
"Promise me you won’t go back on your word since you’ve agreed!" Ling Feng said.
"Okay, I promise!" the woman replied.
Ling Feng wasn’t sure if she was being honest, but given the situation, he could only proceed as such.
Standing up, he picked several branches with a lot of fruit, cut them off with the Curved Saber, and they dropped straight down.
Due to gravity, the branches pierced through other tree leaves below and smoothly landed on the ground.
Ling Feng chopped four or five branches, then asked, "How about it? Is that enough?"
"Enough, you can come down now!" the woman said.
"I’ll wait for a while; my stomach feels bloated, can’t climb down yet!" Ling Feng explained,
though after relieving himself, there was no problem, but considering the woman might not have calmed down, he decided to wait.
Nowadays, caution is vital in everything.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng gave a wry smile, recalling how he’d never been so cautious before, blaming this damn trial!
After a long silence, there was no sound from below. Ling Feng figured the woman had picked up all the fruit, so he tentatively asked, "Hey, are you still there?"
But there was no movement at all from below.
