Chapter 626: Cooperating with Shu Yu

Once could be attributed to luck, but what about the second time? Moreover, the second catch was a ferocious wild boar, much more challenging to deal with than a deer.

Two seemingly powerless girls, do they have the ability to handle it?

Especially since the official mentioned that they had brought the game back as soon as it was dark.

After discussing with the other members of his team, Ma Lu came to find Shu Yu after dinner.

Now sitting across from her, he observed her and realized that she appeared calm and composed, unlike an ordinary girl.

Taking a sip of tea, he said, "Even if it was luck, it shows that you are favored by the heavens. How about we cooperate based on this stroke of luck?"

"Cooperate? Cooperate in what?" Shu Yu was surprised.

"We've discovered the tracks of a large creature in the past few days and want to bring it down. I was wondering if Miss Lu would be interested."

A large creature? A tiger?

Taking down a tiger was not a simple task.

Shu Yu rubbed her chin and asked, "Why did you come to us for cooperation? Although we caught a deer and a wild boar, we only have two people, which is not an advantage in terms of numbers compared to other teams."

In fact, the most suitable team for cooperation would be the eight-member team. With more people, they could share the load and wear the tiger down.

Ma Lu fell silent for a moment. "We have indeed considered other teams, but unfortunately, they are not suitable. Even though they have more members, their cooperation is not seamless, and everyone has their own ulterior motives. Some are even ruthless and would stab us in the back. If they were to strike us from behind while we are dealing with the large creature, our losses would be devastating."

Having to guard against their own teammates while hunting, was it still necessary to pursue this prey?

"You are different. You and Miss Fang didn't know each other before yesterday. But within just a day, you managed to coordinate and bring down a deer and a wild boar, which shows that both of you can listen to advice and adapt. If you can coordinate so quickly with each other, I believe you can do the same with our team."

Shu Yu hadn't expected him to think so deeply.

But she was pleased with such praise. However, she said, "Even if we are indeed outstanding, we have only entered the mountains twice and are not familiar with the conditions inside. It would be too dangerous to rush into the deep mountains with you. We don't have any major aspirations. If it's just the two of us, catching some wild chickens and rabbits outside is enough. Hunting the large creature doesn't benefit us and is not worthwhile."

"Who said there are no benefits?" Ma Lu shook his head. "During the hunt, if we catch a large creature like a tiger or bear, besides receiving a larger share of the food, there might even be silver coins and other rewards."

Rewards?

Shu Yu's interest was piqued. "What kind of rewards?"

"We would get two days of rest and be able to leave Zhengdao Village. Moreover, we would gain recognition from the official, and who knows what other benefits may come in the future."

Wow, these rewards sound quite generous.

But hunting large creatures like tigers and bears was already a life-threatening task, so such rewards were to be expected.

Shu Yu had never heard of these rewards. When she asked Broken Arm Xu Da Li about hunting, he had never mentioned them.

Perhaps he thought that this kind of thing was too distant from her and not worth mentioning?

However, for Shu Yu, these rewards were indeed tempting.

"You mentioned leaving Zhengdao Village. Can we go anywhere we want?"
