Chapter 889 Forming a Team and Sending Heads
After speaking, Chen Xu slowly returned to the shore, wrapped the spear dart around his back with a rope, and immediately took off the English hunting bow.
Then, while pricking up his ears, he searched for the location of the wild boar.
"Crack", "Click"...
In the jungle, apart from the sound of "rustling" rain, the rest is the sound of his own footsteps.
Humph——!
Again!
This time, Chen Xu judged its location, and said softly: "It seems to be in the southwest!"
And just when he was about to adjust his direction.
Suddenly, in the swamp next to it, there was a sudden sound of splashing water!
There are aquatic creatures!
And it's not a small aquatic creature!
Possibly another big fish!
"666, don't open for a year, but eat for a year!"
"Is it popular to form a team to give away heads now?"
"Master Xu is probably going to double kill!"
"23333, if you encounter an electric eel again this time, will Master Xu go crazy?"
……
Contrary to the optimistic attitude of the audience, Chen Xu frowned slightly, and said: "When hunting, the most taboo thing is to be distracted. Once you confirm the target, you must try to concentrate until you kill it."
"If you are half-hearted about your prey, or if you want to hunt two prey at the same time, in the end, you may not be able to hunt anything!"
"For now, we have to make a quick judgment and choose which one to hunt. I will choose wild boar, because it has been raining continuously for the past few days and the water level has continued to rise. It is difficult for us to predict the depth of the swamp."
"In this way, without fishing rods and traps, it is difficult for me to blindly hit with spear darts. Unlike wild boars, they move on land and are easy to hunt down. Moreover, when the field of vision is good, the accuracy of arrows , is bigger than a pike!"
After speaking, he continued to walk southwest.
5 minute later.
Chen Xu suddenly squatted down, touched a sunken hoof print on the ground, and said: "The print is obvious, it should have been left just now, it means it has just left, maybe it is nearby!"
So, he began to bow his back and move his feet carefully.
Every time he took a step, he would turn his head to look around, looking for the direction of the wild boar.
Just at this time.
In a bush in the west, a branch suddenly trembled.
Chen Xu hurriedly looked over.
Sure enough, in the next second, a black shadow immediately jumped into his sight.
It's a boar!
However, this wild boar is not as huge as the audience imagined. On the contrary, it is the same as the wild boar Xu Ye encountered on the uninhabited island of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean.
It is only [-] to [-] centimeters in size, but [-] centimeters high, and weighs at most [-] to [-] kilograms. It has black and brown manes all over its body, which are shiny by the light rain.
What is more fierce is that there are two white fangs rolled up in front of its mouth, which shows that it is a wild boar.
There was a slight loss in Chen Xu's eyes.
However, this wild boar is at least as good as two or three serval dogs, and the meat quality and nutrition are better.
"Let's try to get closer to it!"
At this time, Chen Xu was about 30 meters away from it.
And he once told everyone before that for small and medium-sized targets of about one meter, only within 20 meters can they have a higher hit rate.
but.
If it is normal weather, this short ten meters is better to get closer.
But it's raining now, and the ground is full of small reflective puddles. If you can't get it, you can step on it and there will be a "click".
The wild boar's hearing is so sensitive, it is too difficult to get close to it without noticing it!
Chen Xu walked several steps in a row, almost all of which were difficult.
Just like that, when he retracted to a distance of about 23 meters, the wild boar suddenly stopped digging the ground, but raised its head and sniffed around.
He knew that the other party had already started an early warning state.
If you move forward, you will be exposed!
There was no other way, Chen Xu could only draw the arrow, holding the arrow with his left hand obliquely, and pulling the string with his right hand, slowly took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Huh..."
And at the moment when the breath comes to an end, just listen:
call out!
The arrow shot out quickly, passing through the bushes in an instant, bang!
Hit the dirt!
"Humph! Humph!"
At the same time, the wild boar immediately blew twice, kicked its hind hooves on the ground, and hurriedly fled towards the gap next to it.
Chen Xu also followed suit.
Because the distance was too far and it was raining lightly, he couldn't see whether he had hit it.
But judging from the wild boar's escape speed, there is little hope of hitting it!
The English hunting bow in his hand has a pulling force of sixty to seventy pounds. With a professional metal headhunter, it can kill an elephant. Once it hits this kind of small wild boar, it will be a bloody hole running through the internal organs!
He ran to the side of the arrow.
Seeing that there was no trace of red blood nearby, Chen Xu sighed, "It seems that I missed the shot. It's a pity, it's only a short distance away!"
Looking at the wild boar again, it has disappeared without a trace in front of it.
After all, in the jungle, the running ability of small hoofed creatures far exceeds that of humans.
Not to mention, the soil on the ground is so slippery now, if Chen Xu falls on the ground, hits a stone, or gets scratched by a branch, he will not dare to run fast.
In the unlikely event of a fracture or infection, the loss outweighs the gain.
Lost wild boar.
Chen Xu had no choice but to return to the original lake location.
Of course, he didn't want to continue hunting the aquatic creature that made a movement in the water before, but cut branches nearby.
On the one hand, Chen Xu wanted to use the branches to make several fixed fishing traps in the "gorge mouth", and on the other hand, he also wanted to cut some spare firewood for the fire.
Because there is not much to burn.
Although he had guessed that it would rain before, and had looked at some more firewood for backup, who could have imagined that the rain would still not stop until the fifth day in a row for four days.
Once the fire is extinguished, not only there is no way to keep warm, but also there is no way to boil the water, and even no cooked food can be eaten.
The combination of cold, raw water and raw meat will quickly make people sick.
And in this kind of ghostly weather, once you get sick, you will face elimination!
So, Chen Xu chopped a lot of wet firewood and went back.
There is no way to throw wet wood directly into the fire and burn it. Not only is it easy to breed a lot of smoke, but it is also easy to extinguish the fire.
Therefore, Chen Xu first put them on the shelf of the fire to "dry", and only added them to the fire when the water in them evaporated almost.
Lina also helped him put the wet wood on the shelf.
And when she casually glanced outside the house, a flash of light suddenly startled her, and immediately patted Chen Xu on the shoulder: "Chen! I saw a pair of bright spots near the bushes in the camp just now, like eyes! "
8 Chapter Ninety
What the hell!
Eye?
"Miss, don't scare me, it's early morning in Huaxia!"
"Lena: I checked my eyes, I met the right person!"
"Just because I saw you one more time in the bushes!"
"Observe in secret and find out!"
……
Hearing Lina's exclamation, Chen Xu turned his head immediately, but when he looked over, there was no reflection from the bushes, let alone his eyes!
"where?"
Lina pointed to the south, and said, "In this position, I just saw a pair of white flashes, which seem to be the eyes of a cat!"
Cats!
Cougar?
Or a jaguar?
Chen Xu's complexion changed, he quickly picked up the English hunting bow, strung the string, and stared carefully at his surroundings.
but.
After a full 2 minutes.
There was still no movement in the bushes.
Many viewers asked whether Miss Lina had not had a good rest and had hallucinations.
Lina shook her head when she saw the barrage, "Impossible, that creepy reflection is definitely not an illusion!"
Chen Xu pursed his lips and looked serious, "It's not impossible to have big cat activities."
"Because the south of the campsite is a small river, the location with rich water system is rich in species. Animals always need water, so it is naturally also a gathering place for many carnivorous hunters."
"For example, all kinds of carnivorous fish, crocodiles, and serval dogs, etc. It has been raining for several days recently, and all kinds of herbivorous creatures will stay at home, and carnivorous creatures have few opportunities to hunt."
"Maybe it's been holding back for several days. Seeing that the rain has subsided, that big cat wanders around here, looking for opportunities!"
After speaking, he continued to pay attention to the movement around him.
Although he has a mud house and horses, these things are fine for stopping small and medium-sized animals like serval dogs. Want to stop medium and large cats?
Dream it!
Even a domestic cat can at least jump two meters high!
Waited another moment.
There was still no movement in the bushes.
Only then did Chen Xu gradually relax his vigilance, but the hunting bow still did not leave his hands.
At present, this is his only weapon that can cause fatal damage to the big cat. "Maybe it has been hungry for a long time, and its strength is exhausted. Seeing us two large creatures, it is not sure and dare not go in."
Modern large-scale carnivorous creatures rarely treat humans as food. At most, they will attack when humans offend their territory, unless they are extremely hungry.
However, once a carnivorous creature is hungry, its physical strength will decrease.
Especially for cats like cougars, which have very little fat reserves, once starved, all body functions will weaken.
Facing more than two humans, he would definitely feel weak.
Not to mention it, even if they are as strong as black bears and brown bears, they will not dare to attack easily when they encounter multiple humans gathered together.
Animals are far better at measuring strength than humans!
