Chapter 39: Hunting, Being Beaten into a Pig's Head
Chapter 39: Hunting, Being Beaten into a Pig's Head
After hearing the whispers of people around him and understanding what was going on, Chu Chengan was impressed by his own handsomeness again.
He thought: Those who escaped must have been frightened by my heroic presence yesterday, and knowing they couldn’t win, they simply ran back home overnight. The roads would be less crowded at night, unlike today when we had to eliminate a large number of people during the day.
As a result, the referee and local officials made inquiries and found out that even if those people were waste, they would not run away.
They had gone to the forest to hunt game and barbecue because they were greedy last night. As a result, they all got food poisoning and were all sent to the emergency room...
Oh, that's unheard of.
The officer crossed out the names of those who were unable to be present due to the accident.
Anyone who cannot manage his or her food desires will certainly not be able to shoulder the noble responsibilities of a royal consort and will not be able to be of great use. It is better to persuade them to retire as soon as possible.
The whole morning was wasted like this.
The good news for Chu Chengan is that there are more than a thousand people missing, so there are only about 8,900 left now? I wonder if his math is correct? Such a huge number is really difficult for him.
Wang Anyuan whispered in his ear: "Was the food poisoning last night a test from the examiner?"
Chu Chengan also quietly replied to him: "I think it's more like a competition between players, and someone took the opportunity to poison them."
Although he tried not to attract attention, Prince Philip is now too famous. The contestants pay attention to him, the audience also bet on him to win, and the nobles and dignitaries in the high seats backstage are trying to find ways to examine his character.
The referee noticed the thick gauze wrapped around Prince Philip's right hand and made a decision in his mind.
That was the glorious mark left by Chu Chengan when he caught a thief last night. He still has to settle the score with the thief tonight.
Chu Cheng'an was waiting for the referee to invite him to the stage, but this time the first person to go on stage after his name was called was not him.
Chu Cheng'an was confused for a moment, then immediately understood.
Maybe the referee also felt that letting him stay on the stage to engage in a war of attrition was inconsiderate?
So during this period of time, Chu Chengan and the other three were quite relaxed. They were the last to arrive among all the applicants. I wonder where the old king, their cheap father, got the news that those who arrive later will have a greater advantage?
After Prince Philip was no longer on the stage, the progress bar slowed down a lot, and it felt like the young candidates who came on stage were just playing house.
They couldn't hurry up. It was estimated that only about 200 numbers had been called, not even 300. When they signed their names on the registration form, Chu Cheng'an was smart enough to see and remember his number: 9438.
It's really not his fault. It's hard to forget even if you want to...
So now they have another choice, stay here and continue watching the game bored, or use the excuse of going to the toilet and sneak out to play without anyone noticing.
The answer is of course the latter.
Prince Philip escaped, and of course Joseph and Hanssen, who were beside him, also wanted to escape.
After running to the sparsely populated back streets.
Philip looked expectantly like a fly rubbing its hands.
He said, "What did the chief judge say this morning? Those thousand people went to the forest to eat barbecue. What kind of barbecue was so delicious? How could it attract a thousand people at the same time? The animals here were nourished by the magic forest and turned into delicacies from the mountains and the sea, a feast for the gluttons?"
"Isn't the point that these 1,000 people are eating bad food? Is there something wrong with the animals themselves?" Hansen said.
"No, the animals here are all tender and delicious. While you were going to the toilet, I asked the townspeople nearby. Hunters often come in and out of the forest. The animals in the forest are very alert and difficult to catch. Many hunters fail to catch them and get injured. Despite this, there are still a large number of hunters who catch them in order to get rich. What does this mean? It means that the animals here are delicious! What are you waiting for?"
Do you want to wait until the game is over in the middle of the night before going back to eat your fill?
Prince Joseph spoke up at this time: "Is it really okay for us to go out and eat? Isn't this a test of our hunger tolerance from the commander?"
Chu Chengan smiled, grabbed Hansen's arm and led him into the woods, leaving Joseph standing stupidly at the entrance.
"If you don't go, you can be a good kid here, but we are going to go, and don't be tempted by us when you smell the meat."
None of Chu Chengan's tasks required him to go on a diet. He was a physical education student and an athlete, and he knew the harm of poor eating to the body. He didn't want him to faint from hunger before he had put in the effort to complete the subsequent tasks.
Wang Anyuan is fat. He must love to eat. He has been so hungry that he eats anything and his thinking ability has been reduced by half. The little food he eats in the morning is not enough to satisfy him.
At this moment, he did whatever Chu Cheng'an told him to do, and would never go east if told to go west.
The two partners quickly walked into the forest.
Joseph hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed the two men.
Chu Chengan mocked: "Brother? You are cheating too?"
"It's not stealing food, it's replenishing energy."
"Well, go ahead."
He would give Joseph a chance, and when he caught him in the act, he would be able to eliminate him with good reason.
These three people dared to risk the world's condemnation. As soon as the referee finished saying that the desire for food cannot meet the heavy responsibility, they immediately went to open the stove.
This courage is like riding a rocket straight into the sky.
…
Surprisingly, this forest is actually a big maze with thousands of paths. It doesn’t seem scary when you first enter and see the town outside.
When they got too deep, Joseph started marking the area with branches and vines.
Chu Chengan immediately realized it and also led Wang Anyuan to carry out this operation.
They can't get lost and trapped here, they have to hurry back before the progress report is given on the stage in the evening.
After a while, Chu Cheng'an found a hare before all of them. He was not allowed to bring a knife during the competition, and his weapon was still lying in the hotel. He made use of local materials and picked up a lot of stone chips on the ground and used them as knives.
The rabbit ran fast, and he was not slow either. He would find a way to get close to it first. Once he touched the rabbit, everything would be easy.
So the long-distance running champion chased the rabbit all the way into the depths of the forest.
The two people left behind had a hard time chasing, but Joseph was fine. He saw Chu Cheng'an competing with the rabbit in wits and courage, running in curves, turning left and right. Anyway, he couldn't lose it as long as it didn't run in a straight line.
This was a difficult situation for Wang Anyuan. His health had already worsened, and now he had no meat to eat, so he had to act like an ascetic for a while.
He stretched out his hand to Chu Chengan in despair from behind.
Joseph started to mock Philip behind him: "Why don't you bring a bow and arrow when you go hunting? How can you hunt with a blade like you? You won't catch anything even if you hunt until night."
Philip didn't turn around, but just said, "This is called impromptu hunting. Who would prepare so many things in advance?"
Afterwards, as if to prove himself, he picked up a short vine branch and used it as a whip. He chose the right moment, predicted the direction the rabbit would escape, and whipped it in that direction.
Treat this wild rabbit as if it were a system NPC and trample on it again and again.
The rabbit was nearly hit. It was so frightened that it spread its four legs and ran desperately into the deeper part of the forest.
It also brought Philip to a more dangerous place.
The rabbit is light and weighs very little, so wherever it steps it looks like a cloud passing by.
But Philip is a real "adult" weight.
He probably didn't expect hunters to go into the forest and set traps there, so he relaxed his vigilance and focused all his energy on how to run and catch rabbits.
Then he got a big surprise.
As I was running happily, I stepped on a rope and a ring that some wicked person had placed there.
As soon as the rope was tightened, Chu Chengan felt his body lighten, and one foot was lifted up and hung upside down on a huge tree.
What kind of crappy little animal trap is this?
Is it used to catch people or food?
Chu Cheng'an recalled that he was busy catching rabbits and didn't pay attention to the other animals in the forest. There were a few little wild boars that were still learning to run. They seemed to have lost their mother and were wandering around aimlessly.
We didn’t see their mother either, otherwise why wasn’t there a big wild boar chasing the three players?
Of course there are also some squirrels, monkeys, brown bears and the like, which are too strong to eat and are not within their hunting range.
Now that I think about it, this trap is perfect for catching "piglets". The person who designed it is simply a genius.
He was hanging upside down for five minutes but no one came to rescue him.
"Little Pig" Chu Cheng'an performed a difficult move. He propped up his body, took the small stone in his hand, struggled to step on it, and then struggled to scratch it dozens of times. He cut the rope and finally saved himself.
Otherwise, the hunters might not release him until dark, and by then his feet would be numb and he would be dead soon.
If his brother Joseph had seen it in advance... oh, I dare not think about it any further.
The rabbit was also lost, and Chu Chengan could only follow his sixth sense to find the way back, but he hadn't taken a few steps.
"Swoosh" two arrows shot at him.
“???” Chu Cheng’an fled in shock. Is this the necessary preparation and equipment that Joseph mentioned before becoming a hunter?
But he doesn't look like a pig, does he?
Which blind hunter was it, shooting him in broad daylight with his eyes and hands blind?
We must catch him, strip him naked and hang him from a tree.
Chu Cheng'an narrowly dodged two more arrows, as the opponent was quite far away from him.
Chu Chengan, who had played the video game PUBG before, learned how to judge the archer's position by the sounds and directions of the arrows in the game.
He will go around and kill him by surprise in a while.

Here, whether using Chu Cheng'an or Philip as the subject, we are talking about Chu Cheng'an. Of course, if we are interacting with the characters in the fairy tale, Philip will be used as the subject more often.
My friends, don’t be confused. If you have any good suggestions, feel free to tell me. I love you.
