Chapter 20: Strike First



Song Mingqian: ...

I hate the nickname "life-giving money"!

But what Xia Chujian said made sense. Besides, why would he endorse a wild rhinoceros?

Even if he saved the wild rhinoceros, would these pigs automatically give him a pair of big tusks?

Song Mingqian finally understood what Xia Chujian meant and said seriously, "Chujian is right. I really can't guarantee anything. How about this? You and Xiaofuzi will clear the area, and Captain Ye and I will clean up the pig. We'll then grill it for you."

"Brother Song is awesome! He has made clear arrangements for the wild rhinos within a radius of 500 miles!" Xia Chujian gave Song Mingqian a thumbs up and no longer called him the nickname "Life-giving Money".

Ye Shijie leaned against the door of the cabin, watching a play for a long time. Then he said lazily, "Don't talk about five hundred miles. Don't be too greedy when you first meet me. Five miles is enough. How can wild rhinoceros be so easy to catch? Do you really think this exotic forest is a pig farm?"

Xia Chujian raised his right hand, clenched his fist and placed it on his left chest. He saluted him with an awkward hunter's salute and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll listen to Captain Ye!"

After saying that, he waved towards Li Fu and said, "Master Fu, shall we go and clear the area?"

Li Fu chuckled: "I understand!"

Xia Chujian put the gun case, sniper rifle and fully automatic submachine gun into the cabin, and only took a Xiazhi 085 assault rifle and a military crossbow. He carried a bag of crossbow arrows on his back and a bullet bag slung across his waist, and walked with Li Fu into the woods where the wild rhinoceros had appeared just now.

This place is close to the Far North, and it is extremely cold already. It is snowing heavily right now.

Xia Chujian looked at the huge evergreen trees that towered into the sky and asked Li Fu curiously, "Master Fu, it's so cold here, but there are so many evergreen trees. How do you think they survive?"

Based on the little geographical knowledge Xia Chujian had learned, she knew that evergreen trees should be more common in tropical and subtropical regions.

Li Fu held his hunting rifle, observing his surroundings vigilantly. He glanced upwards and said, "I don't care how they survived. At least they're alive, and the dense leaves can protect us from the wind and snow. Isn't that good?"

The leaves were indeed so dense that they blocked out the sun, blocking out most of the snow, leaving only a light layer on the ground.

In the woods under the trees there were yellow grass, various shrubs, and various small animals, which would pop out from all directions from time to time and run past them.

Xia Chujian thought about it and realized that it made sense. He stopped dwelling on the issue and said with a sigh, "It seems that this place is indeed deserted. Master Fu, look at the animals here, they don't even avoid people."

Li Fu touched his chin with his big, bear-paw-like hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, "When I came here with that guy who sent me money just now, I didn't see so many animals."

"...Then how did you catch that wild rhinoceros?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.

She is now only interested in wild rhinoceros raised on black truffles.

Li Fu pulled off a leaf from a bush, chewed it, and said with a smile, "We were lucky! Actually, we just wanted to catch a few cardinal pheasants to satisfy our hunger! You have no idea how tender cardinal pheasant meat is! Especially wild cardinal pheasants, the fragrance is incredible!"

Li Fu swallowed hard, then suddenly stopped and listened for a moment before saying, "There seems to be another wild rhinoceros about ten meters ahead, at the three o'clock direction."

Li Fu is a genetically evolved person. His hearing, vision and physical strength are far beyond the reach of ordinary people like Xia Chujian.

In such dense forests, only they can quickly find their hunting targets.

Of course Xia Chujian heard nothing. She only regretted that she couldn't install a radar system on herself!

Looking at him enviously, Xia Chujian turned around silently and turned on the telescopic function of the eyepiece on his helmet. Sure enough, he saw a wild rhinoceros grunting and looking around.

It’s even bigger than the one Li Fu and Song Mingqian caught just now!

She stopped immediately, aimed at the three o'clock direction in front of her, and fired her military crossbow silently and fatally, cutting through the heavy and cold air and hitting the wild rhinoceros.

With a loud bang, the wild rhinoceros fell heavily to the ground.

The two of them strode over.

The wild rhinoceros was indeed larger. Lying on the ground, it looked almost like a baby elephant. Its four large tusks were half the length of an elephant's tusks, and were even whiter and more crystal clear, with a faint texture of jade.

Xia Chujian's military crossbow hit the wild rhinoceros right in the forehead.

She pulled out the crossbow bolt with one hand.

The crossbow arrow tempered with the exotic metal was not damaged at all, not even a drop of the wild rhinoceros's blood or brain was stained on it.

However, Xia Chujian still wiped the crossbow arrow with a leaf as big as a cattail fan from a nearby shrub before putting it back into his quiver.
