A large Ma Lu deer knelt on the ground, most of its face buried in a pit.
It had originally been a small hollow, but the Ma Lu deer had gnawed it into a large pit over the past few days.
Zhao Jun walked up to it and pinched its neck. It hadn't gone stiff. He slid his hand under its front shoulder and felt a bit of lingering warmth. He couldn't help but silently praise Zhang Yuanmin.
Back when they set up the deer pit, Zhang Yuanmin had arranged with Zhao Jun to come and cut the Antler Velvet today.
But he wouldn't be able to make it today.
The poison was fast-acting. The Ma Lu deer had died while still in the middle of gnawing, its head not even tilted to the side.
Zhao Jun drew the Invasion Blade from the small of his back and cut the Antler Velvet first.
He would have to gut the deer in a moment, which meant flipping it over. If he didn't cut the Antler Velvet now, it could easily get damaged when he moved the Ma Lu deer.
