Xiaoqi quickly adapted to life in the micro-world and was able to take on some tasks on the first day.
She was particularly interested in the existence of the micro-world, especially in Chen Yang's alien identity, and even threatened to have children with Chen Yang, which made Li Su'er quite wary.
"This is too ugly. You need to design it. We can only start building after the design is complete," Xiaoqi commented on the construction and infrastructure of the base.
Li Sen suddenly found a kindred spirit, and the two huddled in a corner for a discussion.
Xiaoqi studied design in college and did very well, using various design software fluently. Li Sen, on the other hand, had a good eye for fashion. The two hit it off and took on the construction and design of the limited camp.
"Ye Wu, you're a good shooter. You must practice a lot." Xiao Qi said with a smile to Ye Wu, who was shooting an arrow.
Because of Chen Liu's existence, she no longer calls Ye Wu the Pao Wang (a derogatory term for a woman), but her dirty tricks remain unchanged; she can infuriate Ye Wu with just a few words.
After Ye Wu and Li Su'er discovered that they didn't have any talent for boxing, they continued to practice archery, and Grandpa Yun supported them and would occasionally give them guidance.
The old man was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. When he traveled around the world, he studied various weapons and also dabbled in archery.
Although the old man's archery skills were far inferior to his boxing skills, he could still teach Li Su'er and Ye Wu without any problem.
“Chen Yang, our numbers are only going to increase, and we are now severely lacking in fur. I think we should start hunting more actively. Besides, we can’t keep those few goats.”
Hou Yu offered Chen Yang his advice.
Horses must never be killed, but goats are not essential to them.
“Organize a hunting team to enter Yebolin. Hou Yu, you and Brother Guo are more familiar with the island. You can take care of all the goats you raised here. Dry the fur and smoke the meat. Then hunt animals on the island.”
Chen Yang said this to Hou Yu, who nodded to indicate that it was no problem.
Li Su'er and Ye Wu both volunteered to join the hunting team, and Xiao Qi also wanted to go and broaden her horizons. Surprisingly, Li Ye also wanted to go, instead of going to the island with Hou Yu.
"I'll go along and hold them back too, and see what the animals of this world are like," said Grandpa Yun.
Yun wanted to stop the old man, after all, the old man was getting old, but then he thought that the old man's physical strength and stamina were better than his own, so he didn't say anything.
Thus, the members of the hunting team were decided. Of course, the lucky one was also in the hunting team, while the others continued to build the base.
Jiang Bo and Wang Bing are digging a deeper section of the fishpond for the fish to overwinter. Some of the fish that are not cold-hardy have already frozen to death.
Jiang Yining and Li Sen continued weaving items and also began making small things. Yun Shi started researching wood, searching for the most suitable timber and structural elements appropriate for the current situation.
After entering the Night Forest, the hunting party moved very slowly because the old man kept telling everyone to pick some plants, saying they could be used for medicinal purposes.
Chen Yangzhen felt he had struck gold by bringing Grandpa Yunhua into the micro-world. He knew martial arts, archery, and was also a semi-traditional Chinese medicine practitioner—truly, having an elder in the family was a treasure. The old man's experience traveling throughout the country was unparalleled.
"See that? These are wild boar tracks. Look closely at the surrounding vegetation. Although it's not obvious, it's a path that animals often use. There's fresh wild boar droppings there. Let's follow it."
Chen Yang had Ou Huang sniff around the footprints a few times, and then Ou Huang led the way. The group followed the tracks of the wild boars and soon saw two wild boars in the grass not far away.
"Watch closely." The old man picked up Ye Wu's bow and arrow. "First, aim at the target. Don't believe that nonsense about aiming carefully. Bowing is about the unity of eye and hand. Be steady, keep your breathing normal, and keep your mind calm and composed."
After the old man finished speaking, he released the bow and arrow. The arrow shot out like a black lightning bolt, and a scream came from the bushes. The wild boar's snout had been struck by the arrow, and its sharp cry echoed through the air. The wild boar rolled around in the bushes.
Seeing the admiring looks on everyone's faces, the old man wiped away a bead of sweat, feeling a little guilty.
He meant to shoot in the head, but it went astray and hit the mouth instead. Luckily it hit, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.
Another wild boar charged at them. Li Su'er fired an arrow, but it was deflected by the boar's thick mud armor. Wild boars love to wallow in mud, and over time they develop a layer of mud armor on their bodies—a natural defensive shield.
Chen Yang threw his spear, which struck the wild boar in the side.
Although the stone spearhead successfully pierced the mud armor, it did not cause any actual damage to the wild boar. Instead, the wild boar lost its balance, rolled several times, and crashed into a tree.
At that moment, Li Ye suddenly jumped out and threw a stone. The fist-sized stone flew slowly and landed accurately on the wild boar's head before bouncing away.
Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Li Ye actually blushed for the first time ever.
"You're so cute," Li Su'er said, hugging Li Ye tightly.
The lucky man lunged forward, ready to fight the wild boar to the death. The wild boar hadn't fully regained consciousness after crashing into a tree, giving the lucky man an opportunity.
However, the lucky guy clearly didn't know how to fight a wild boar. He tried to bite its neck, but ended up with a mouthful of mud and was pushed aside by the boar. Chen Yang saw the opportunity and rushed out, smashing down with his axe.
The stone axe pierced through the wild boar's mud armor, smashing it until the boar howled in pain.
The European beast pounced again, this time smarter, biting the wild boar's leg joint. Although the wild boar kicked it away, it crippled the boar's front leg, instantly reducing its mobility by more than half.
The wild boar lay on the ground whimpering. Chen Yang took a stone axe, walked up to it, and ended its life.
"I'm sorry," he said, then walked over to the wild boar whose mouth had been shot through by the old man and finished it off with an axe as well. The wild boar seemed to have suffered some brain injury as well, because it kept twitching on the ground.
The hunt went very smoothly. The wild boar meat, hide, tendons, and tusks were all very useful.
“There’s a stream next to Baihua Waterfall, let’s go there to process them. The two wild boars are too heavy for us to carry, let’s make them into jerky and take them with us,” Chen Yang said.
When the old man and Xiaoqi saw the waterfall, they were also shocked. Moreover, this time the elephant herd also appeared below the waterfall.
"Such a spectacle is rarely seen on Earth anymore," the old man remarked.
"Grandpa Yun, should we let Chen Yang practice his boxing under the waterfall?" Li Su'er asked.
“Little girl, watch less TV dramas,” said Grandpa Yun. “A five or six-meter waterfall is fine, but this waterfall is so high, and the water flows down without any obstruction. The impact is so strong that it’s almost impossible to stand still. If there’s a rock in the water, it could kill you.”
Li Su'er stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
"Woof!"
The European elephant plunged into the pool and swam freely, even swimming up to a baby elephant. The baby elephant seemed quite interested in it and played with it in the water. The other elephants glanced at it, appearing somewhat wary, but quickly ignored it.
“Let’s start a fire after the elephant herd leaves,” Chen Yang said.
Although the wild boar meat has been cleaned by the stream downstream, it will inevitably still have a bloody smell and needs to be processed as soon as possible.
"Chen Yang, this dog needs to be trained well; it won't be any worse than a wild mastiff," said Grandpa Yun.
Chen Yang nodded, watching Ouhuang play with the baby elephant, and was also looking forward to Ouhuang's growth. Having fought wolves as a puppy, and daring to fight wild boars head-on at just over two months old, and playing with black bears and elephants, Ouhuang's life as a dog was quite remarkable.
