Well, she seems to be quite lucky; she has everything she needs here.
After the two had prepared the snake and ginseng, Han Qiushi picked up his spear and continued walking forward.
Having just experienced digging for ginseng, Han Qiushi was very careful about areas with bushes this time.
As they walked, Lin Xiaoxiao called out to Han Qiushi.
"Brother Qiushi, stop right there. Isn't there a wild boar over there?"
Han Qiushi looked in the direction Lin Xiaoxiao was pointing and saw that it really was a fully grown male wild boar.
He had initially thought that after catching so many wild boars last time, there were no more wild boars left on the mountain. However, seeing that there were still some left, the two of them did not let their guard down. It was very likely that there were some large wild animals in the mountains that had driven the wild boars out.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think too much about it; the appearance of wild boars in front of her was a gift from nature.
"Don't get close. I'll deal with it with my spear first. If I notice anything amiss, you can finish it off."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. It just so happened that she had a bow and arrow, which was suitable for long-range attacks.
Han Qiushi gripped the spear tightly and slowly approached the wild boar.
The male wild boar has a keen sense of smell and quickly spotted Han Qiushi's presence. As he approached, it kept growling.
This wild boar was in its prime, and its presence was noticeably different. It ran very fast and was quite robust, heading straight for Han Qiushi.
Han Qiushi's handsome face darkened, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly aimed at the wild boar's neck. He raised the spear high and stabbed it down cleanly, but the wild boar's reaction was astonishing, and the spear only pierced the area near the boar's ear.
After being injured, the wild boar immediately became agitated and went berserk, charging towards Han Qiushi like a madman.
With his weapon gone, Han Qiushi clenched his fists tightly, nimbly dodged, and punched the wild boar in its weakest spot.
Taking advantage of the wild boar's movement being hindered, Han Qiushi reached out and pulled hard, and the spear was back in Han Qiushi's hand.
With each thrust and pull, the wild boar grew even angrier. It turned and attacked Han Qiushi again. This time, instead of dodging, Han Qiushi lunged at the boar's neck.
This time, Han Qiushi's spear struck with great accuracy, plunging deep into the wild boar's neck. The boar, in pain, stopped thrusting.
Lin Xiaoxiao finally seized the opportunity, quickly drew her bow and fired, hitting the wild boar precisely in the neck.
The wild boar couldn't take it and collapsed.
Seeing the wild boar fall to the ground, Han Qiushi slowly withdrew his fierce aura.
Lin Xiaoxiao put away her bow and arrows and walked to Han Qiushi's side: "Are you alright?"
Han Qiushi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to react so quickly."
This male wild boar was actually more formidable than the ones Lin Xiaoxiao had dealt with. It had thick skin and flesh, and it also had quite long tusks. It moved fiercely and swiftly. Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to make a move from the very beginning, but she couldn't find an opportunity.
Fortunately, Han Qiushi struck again, giving Lin Xiaoxiao a chance to deliver a fatal blow.
Han Qiushi did not take out the spear. Instead, I bent down and led the wild boar to a secluded place. The smell of blood would attract wild animals, and if we didn't deal with it, it would bring danger.
He simply bled the wild boar there and then used tools to bury the blood to reduce the smell of blood.
This wild boar weighed at least 200 pounds, but Han Qiushi could easily drag it away with one hand.
The two found a place with dense weeds and released the wild boar.
After Han Qiushi marked the spot, the two continued walking forward.
The two went into the mountains, one to look for meat to eat, and the other, Han Qiushi, to send a signal to the people at the base and to check for any suspicious hideouts.
After walking for about an hour, a sound suddenly came from afar.
The sound came from afar and grew clearer and clearer.
The two immediately became alert. They exchanged a glance and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Before long, they saw a ferocious tiger chasing a deer, galloping wildly toward them.
Han Qiushi quickly shielded Lin Xiaoxiao behind him and slowly retreated. The two eventually hid behind a large rock, waiting to see what would happen.
Seeing Han Qiushi's nervous expression, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. In fact, she wasn't afraid at all. If her life was truly threatened, she had weapons in her spatial storage. If the tiger gave her a kick, the threat would be gone.
But she also wanted to see how Han Qiushi would deal with it. He seemed easy to get along with on the surface, but he was terrifying when he was in battle. No wonder he was able to become a regimental commander at such a young age.
There shouldn't be any connection between them; they all got to their positions based on merit.
Another thing is that the feeling of being protected by someone at all times seems pretty good.
She quickly came to her senses and saw the deer constantly weaving through the forest, with the tiger chasing after it at great speed.
The tiger leaped up suddenly, gathering all its strength to pounce, and instantly pinned the deer beneath it. With a single bite, the tiger snapped the deer's neck in an instant, and the deer gradually lost its strength, collapsing to the ground.
Han Qiushi pulled out a gun at some point, aimed at the tiger's head and fired. The tiger happened to be turning its head to the side, and the bullet grazed its head and hit a tree nearby.
The tiger then noticed their presence. It opened its mouth wide, roared at them, and intended to knock them down as well.
Han Qiushi continued to aim, preparing to fire another shot.
The tiger seemed to have noticed what Han Qiushi was holding. It took two steps back warily, then turned and ran away at incredible speed, leaving the two of them somewhat unable to react.
They just ran away....
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. This tiger was quite clever; knowing it couldn't beat the bullets, it ran away... it was very pragmatic.
Upon seeing this, Han Qiushi frowned and paused for a few seconds before walking towards the deer.
Logically speaking, a tiger should pounce quickly on a non-threatening human, just like it would on the fallen deer.
This was the first time Lin Xiaoxiao had seen a tiger so close. Tigers no longer existed in the post-apocalyptic world, and she was puzzled: "This tiger is very perceptive. It probably knew you were in danger, so it ran away quickly."
Han Qiushi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you to make such a joke." His eyes were on Lin Xiaoxiao's smiling face, and he couldn't help but think to himself, Lin Xiaoxiao is really cute.
But when his gaze fell on the deer, he couldn't help but look in the direction the tiger had fled: "This tiger probably has seen a gun before, and may have suffered at the hands of a gun, so it is very wary of guns."
Han Qiushi couldn't help but wonder, was this done by one of their own people, or by someone else?
It's estimated that this tiger is the king of this mountain, and other wild animals, like the male wild boar, only appear on the outskirts to survive.
