However, Ryan Clark also made an unexpected new discovery: he noticed that the Eye of Data seemed to be able to view his own information as well.
[Race]: Human
[Beastmaster Level]: Apprentice
[Beastmaster Skills]: None
The information was still very simple. The only thing that caught Ryan Clark's attention was the so-called beastmaster skills.
In Mr. Harris's attribute panel, there was also a skills section.
But whether it was Mr. Harris or his own skills panel, both showed no skills... So how exactly could he acquire skills?
If they could obtain skills, maybe their combat power could be improved a bit.
“We just had a battle here and made quite a commotion...”
“It might attract new enemies. All we need to do is wait here and lie in ambush. This place is fairly spacious, so if we encounter enemies, we can have some degree of initiative.”
Ryan Clark explained to Mr. Harris that staying at this “starting point” was better than venturing into those complicated thickets.
That was Ryan Clark's final decision—leave it to fate.
“Uwu!” Mr. Harris nodded, indicating obedience.
In its mind, Ryan Clark was responsible for thinking, and it was responsible for fighting—simple as that.
“Stay alert.”
While waiting in place for prey to come, Ryan Clark didn’t stay idle and continued to use the Eye of Data to observe.
After all, according to the prompt, the Eye of Data could not only view biological information but also resource information.
What were resources?
After some exploration, Ryan Clark really did make quite a discovery.
Ordinary weeds and trees showed nothing when viewed with the Eye of Data, but there were indeed some unusual plants nearby that Ryan Clark found useful.
For example, he found a type of red mushroom under a tree.
[Name]: Hemostatic Mushroom
[Grade]: Common
[Description]: Crushing and applying it can slowly heal wounds. Do not ingest, or you may hallucinate and see little people dancing.
Also, on a slender tree quite different from the other giant trees, he found several green fruits.
[Name]: Woodscale Fruit
[Grade]: Common
[Description]: The flesh is juicy and very filling. Eating it can restore some stamina. Woodscale Fruit is loved by fruit bugs, and eating it also has a high chance of providing extra protein.
“Good thing we didn’t leave right away. There are actually such resources hidden nearby, but these resources are just ridiculous...” Ryan Clark felt a headache. If they had left here at the start, who knew if they could find such resources elsewhere.
Ignoring the troublesome descriptions, just relying on these two resources, as long as they didn’t encounter overly strong creatures, it seemed entirely possible to last a whole day by staying put.
“These things should be usable, right?” Since the demon cat from earlier had disappeared instantly, Ryan Clark was worried that if he picked the Hemostatic Mushroom and Woodscale Fruit, they might vanish as well.
But as it turned out, Ryan Clark was overthinking it. After he tentatively dug up a Hemostatic Mushroom, it didn’t disappear. It seemed that they just couldn’t be taken out of the secret realm.
“Not bad.” Ryan Clark's eyes lit up. With these things, he was even more confident that Mr. Harris could level up well.
Hmm?
“Uwu...” Just as Ryan Clark was in a good mood, he felt a wave of heat. He saw Mr. Harris had run over at some point and was panting hot air at the Hemostatic Mushroom, drooling, as if asking if it could eat it.
“Didn’t you just eat before we came here???”
“Woof!”
“It was just a fight, there’s no way you used up all your energy. This is a topical medicine, not for eating. Nothing else here is to be eaten without my permission.”
“Woof.”
“No means no.”
After a round of back-and-forth, facing Ryan Clark's disapproving gaze, Mr. Harris finally gave up on eating the Hemostatic Mushroom. Actually, compared to eating meat, Ryan Clark's husky preferred vegetables, fruits, and other non-meat foods, so it even had a nickname: veggie dog.
Next, Ryan Clark began the difficult task of picking Woodscale Fruits. Although he and Mr. Harris had eaten before coming, at most it would only last them half a day. Once they got hungry again, all their abilities would definitely decline.
At that point, being able to restore some stamina and satisfy both hunger and thirst with the Woodscale Fruit would be extremely important.
After some time.
Ryan Clark had already collected all the nearby Woodscale Fruits and Hemostatic Mushrooms.
It had been half an hour since they entered.
To Ryan Clark's speechless surprise, by staying put, it seemed they hadn’t attracted any new enemies.
“Do I have to take the initiative?” Ryan Clark frowned, but in the next moment, his expression changed instantly.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Mr. Harris, who had been lying on the ground with eyes half-closed, suddenly opened its eyes wide, becoming alert.
Because that familiar sound had started up again.
“The experience babies are here!”
“Woof woof!”
However, Ryan Clark didn’t have long to be happy, because the rustling sound... was coming from all directions.
Ryan Clark's heart tightened. There were a lot of creatures coming this time... definitely not just one!
Moments later.
A bead of sweat trickled down Ryan Clark's face.
