NovelEnglishI got up along with the sun, and just sat on the ground while fighting with a piece of beef jerky. I was trying to think of a better way to fight those wolfs. They were incredibly intelligent compared to rats or goblins. They communicated to a group on an enemy, and during the fight, they also synchronized their attacks. This, combined with animal agility, sharp fangs, and claws made them an incredible enemy.

I started to think about traps but quickly gave up because of the lack of resources. Then there was also positioning during fights, but that also was a dead end. The only logical thing I could do was to not let them group and intercept incoming wolves, finish them as quickly as possible, then move. But such a tactic had many problems. I wouldn't be able to pick up crystals right away, and I also had to leave the cart behind. So somebody could steal my stuff, other wolves could eat the meat I had stored there or something else that I just couldn't think off the top of my head might happen. And the crystals, I just could not be able to find them later on. It was a terrible tactic, but the only one with some sense to it, that I could think off.
So instead of trying to figure out something else, and wasting my time in the process, I decided to think while hunting. I went into the woods, and after getting somewhat deeper, I left the cart and proceeded further.
After some more time howling alarmed me that they know I'm here. So I stopped and started to listen carefully. Soon noises of charging dogs were intercepted by my ears, and I went on ahead with full sprint, to the one that was, in my opinion, the closest.

After few minutes of rest, I headed back, trying to recreate my path, using crystals on the ground as clues. I got completely lost several times, and for sure missed at least some stones. Finally, an hour or two after dark, I was able to find the cart.
I just dumped the stones on it and started to pull it closer to the wall, but exhaustion overtook me, and in the end, I decided to spend the night in the forest for the very first time. I just needed to be a bit closet to the wall. After another hour of walking, I stopped.
This way of hunting was actually not that terrible. I found more stones than I thought I would. The problem was with repetition. There was no way to do this every day. Even with my superhuman stamina I barely made it. I couldn't use this tactic like that. I had to change it, or come up with something else, but now... there was only sleep on my mind. So after filling my stomach, I crawled under the cart.
Day ended with 22 685 points on my account and 65 wolf crystals on the cart.
