Chapter 15 Hunting in Progress (Please collect and recommend)

After entering the jungle, the hunting team dispersed. The adults hunted on their own, while Luo Chong brought four younger brothers.

Their group had the most equipment. In addition to Luo Chong, Da Zui and Monkey, Da Mao and Er Mao, each of them had a backpack, a bundle of straw ropes, and a long wooden stick. In fact, they were here to help Luo Chong.

The ground in the jungle was very soft, with thick piles of rotten leaves, and the soil was all black.

The entire mountain was a broad-leaved forest, with ash, oak, and beech trees with slender leaves like peach leaves. These trees were about 30 meters tall and nearly one meter in diameter. Moreover, these trees were nut-producing species, and many of them fell on the ground. From a distance, you could see some big birds pecking at nuts, and even guinea fowl and dodos.

Climbing to the sunny slope of the ridge, there were some tall and straight fir and red pine trees, which looked like telephone poles. In fact, this thing was used to make telephone poles in the past, because it grew straight.

These are all good woods, especially fir, which is the best material for making longbows. However, looking at the diameter of more than one meter, Luo Chong has no way to deal with it. He has no metal tools. What can he do?

Rather than saying that Luo Chong is hunting, it is better to say that he is here for tourism. He just observes along the way and does not hunt any animals. As an excellent hunter, he must first figure out what is in his hunting ground.

He observes very carefully, and the friends who follow him are a little impatient. Several times, they saw guinea fowl eating nuts and a bird that looks like a turkey. The friends are eager to try, but Luo Chong is only concerned with walking, looking at the ground from time to time, and ignores them.

However, Luo Chong from the 21st century knows that there is a complete food chain in this mountain.

A forest full of nuts has many pheasants, squirrels, and rodents that eat nuts; with these small herbivores, of course, carnivorous predators are indispensable.

A python as thick as an arm, and a medium-sized cat, probably a leopard or lynx, a bobcat or something like that.

Well, you can tell by looking at the footprints on the ground, what shape the footprints are, how far apart they are, how deep the footprints are, by looking at these, you can determine the species, size, and weight of the target.

There are also feces left by animals, which are all targets for observation.

Luo Chong really wants to find the kind of ball-shaped feces mixed with grass clippings, which are generally from large ruminant herbivorous animals, such as sheep, deer, and cattle, but unfortunately there are none here.

He is now tracking a group of wild boars, well, a group. There are traces of being dug on the ground, two small pit-like footprints together, many, very messy, and very deep.

This shows that the target is an even-toed ungulate, that is, an animal with two toes on its feet, and it loves to dig the ground and lives in groups. There should be nothing else except wild boars.

But what scared Luo Chong was that the footprint was too damn deep. It must have weighed more than a thousand pounds or a ton. Could it be a giant pig or a monster like a dreaded pig? This was a real primitive jungle. He was really worried that he couldn't do it.

Heading towards the ridge, getting closer and closer to the target, Luo Chong had already found fresh feces, some of which were not even cold.

Crossing the ridge, Luo Chong carefully crouched forward, trying not to make any sound, and told the four brothers not to open their mouths or speak.

From crouching forward to crawling, Luo Chong finally climbed over the high ground on the ridge. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. In front of him was the end of the forest. There were only bushes on the hillside, a sparkling stream, and giant aloe vera.

Beside the stream, which was less than two meters wide, more than a dozen dwarf pigs were drinking water, and several half-grown piglets were searching for berries on the bushes. This is a complete family. The leading boar is about 1.3 meters tall at the shoulder and weighs an estimated 1,500 kilograms. Behind him are his big nanny, second nanny, third nanny, and more than ten piglets the size of domestic pigs.

The sharp and long fangs, the high and bulging back, the pitifully few hairs, and the long spikes growing outwards from under the two eyes are its most obvious signs.

The little friend lying next to Luo Chong was so scared that his legs were shaking. Not to mention the children, even adults dared not provoke such a creature.

It would definitely not work to rush over and force it. It would be safer to set a trap. Luo Chong quietly retreated along the ground and returned to the woods.

The little friends were so scared that they just wanted to shoot a pheasant or dig a mouse hole. They didn't even want to see such a target, let alone think about it.

Luo Chong didn't expect them at all and started to set traps. Digging a pit was impossible. It was too strenuous. The pigs would run away before the pit was dug well.

Tie a straw rope directly to a big tree, and make a 6-shaped noose at the other end. As long as the pig's hoof steps into it, the noose will automatically tighten, and the more it struggles, the tighter it will be.

This trap is simple and quick to make, but the chance of being caught is not high. Luo Chong made 6 nooses for more than a dozen pigs. As long as one target is caught, he will be satisfied. In this way, the probability is still quite high.

The noose is set on the footprints of the pigs in the woods. Animals are generally used to taking the old road by

instinct. In fact, people are the same. They go back and forth on several old roads every day, so now just let the pigs go back. Under Luo Chong's arrangement, the friends climbed up the tree directly. They could not help much below, but would be in danger.

After arranging them, Luo Chong quietly circled around and reached the other side of the stream, hiding behind the bushes all the way, covered with mud to avoid leaking his scent.

When he climbed to 100 meters away from the stream, he began to prepare for a surprise attack. He was not going to confront the wild boars head-on, but just wanted to scare them away. Don't think that wild boars are strong and will take the initiative to fight you. Basically, the first reaction of all animals when they encounter danger is to run away, unless you force it into a desperate situation, it will fight back desperately.

There are also skills to scare wild animals. First, you must be taller than the wild animal. If you are not tall enough, you can use something to make up for it. You must make the wild animal feel that you are very powerful; second, your shouting must be loud, don't show your cowardice, and you must have a domineering aura. If you dare to jump out and shout, you will be dead.

Luo Chong's small body of less than 1.5 meters is not much taller than the wild boar, so he held two branches and inserted the spear diagonally behind his back, and suddenly jumped out from behind the bushes.

"Roar, roar, ah, run away quickly!"

Luo Chong shouted at the top of his voice, waving branches, and ran quickly towards the pigs.

The pigs reacted very quickly. When they saw Luo Chong waving branches and covered in mud, they ran away.

We can't afford to offend them, we can't afford to offend them, this is the first time we have seen such a monster, and its cry is so unique, please don't eat us, we will leave immediately.

The herd of pigs ran away without looking back, and quickly entered the woods. Luo Chong chased them closely, shouting and running, and he was almost out of breath. Finally, he heard the wailing of wild boars in front.

He took a few deep breaths slowly, and when he reached the trap area, he saw two wild boars that had been trapped. The leading boar was among them, and there was also an adult sow, and I don't know how many milks it had.

The boar's left hind leg was caught by the rope, and it was struggling desperately. Luo Chong planned to deal with it first. He didn't know how long he could hold on to that ordinary straw rope.

When the wild boar saw Luo Chong approaching with a spear, it turned its head towards Luo Chong and roared. Luo Chong had to lead it to circle around the tree. After two circles, the rope was not long enough, and the wild boar could only struggle desperately.

Luo Chong turned around, and when it opened its mouth to roar, he thrust a spear into its mouth. The sharp bone spear penetrated the back of its neck and came out from behind. He then pulled out the spear with force, and the pig blood spurted out like it was free. It turned out that the ferocious roar was due to the hole in the back of its neck, so the air leaked out when it shouted.

Haha, this is a trick, only a fool would fight you head-on.
