Lu Xuan walked in front holding a machete and a telescope, followed by Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen, and Leng Mengyao was in charge of the tail.
The four of them formed a long snake formation and walked out of the outermost bamboo wall that they had not yet completed.
"There's a jungle ahead. Everyone, please pay attention to the bloodstains under your feet. These bloodstains may attract other carnivores, so you must be alert to your surroundings."
It is easy to say that we should take the initiative to catch wild boars, but it is not easy to implement it.
Just as Lu Xuan said, now we have to be vigilant about the movements of the injured wild boar at all times and take the initiative. Secondly, we have to be wary of other carnivores that come after smelling the blood.
The four of them followed the bloodstains left by the wild boar on the ground and headed deeper into the jungle.
Once inside the jungle, the surroundings immediately changed. The foliage that obscured the sun was like a thick curtain, completely swallowing up the gentle blue of the sky and the dazzling sunlight, leaving only wisps of mottled light and shadow.
"Lu Xuan, come this way." Although Leng Mengyao was walking at the end of the team, she was the one who observed most carefully. Any bloodstains on the ground could not escape the eyes of this girl.
Lu Xuan, who was walking in front, was mostly observing the situation deep in the jungle through a telescope.
Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen were each responsible for one side, to prevent other creatures from entering.
"There looks to be a squirrel in there."
"I think there are some big birds here..."
From time to time, our group would meet a few "indigenous people" in the jungle.
"Lu Xuan, this wild boar doesn't seem to be heading east, but south..."
As he continued to go deeper into the jungle, Leng Mengyao soon discovered a tricky problem.
The injured wild boar did not continue to move towards the eastern jungle where it was relatively familiar, but chose to move towards the southern jungle that it had never explored.
"Let's walk a little further and find a place to rest later."
Lu Xuan has always been wary of rashly entering unknown territory. After all, he has a family to support. If some jackals, tigers, leopards, or man-eating primitive people suddenly appear, he will be helpless.
"This wild boar has lost so much blood, yet it can still run so far. Really..."
Obviously, the girls thought that catching the injured wild boar would only take a few steps, but they never thought they could walk that far.
"The wild boar has thick skin and flesh. Although I did manage to pierce it twice, I can't say for sure if I hit its vital points. But as long as I can see it, I'm sure I can take it down."
Although Lu Xuan was not 100% confident that he could kill the wild boar with just the two strikes he made last night, he was very sure that he had hit the wild boar solidly with those two strikes. Otherwise, the ferocious wild boar would not have given up the attack and chosen to escape.
At this time, as long as he can find the injured wild boar again, he will have the confidence to defeat it.
After all, this is a giant wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms. If we catch it, it will be enough for the four of us to eat for ten days to half a month.
I'm afraid this opportunity will be gone forever.
"That's right, handsome boy! My intuition tells me that this wild boar is nearby. I'm going to eat roasted pork belly and roasted pig's trotters tonight..."
The one who enjoyed it the most was Yin Yichen. This girl had even thought about which part of the wild boar to eat tonight.
"Lu Xuan, wait..."
Just when Lu Xuan was thinking about continuing to go deeper into the jungle to the south, Leng Mengyao suddenly called Lu Xuan.
"What's wrong?"
"This bloodstain... seems to be more than before..."
Lu Xuan looked in the direction of Leng Mengyao's finger and clearly found that the bloodstains on the ground, which were originally sparse, had become denser.
"Does this mean the wild boar is dying? It should be nearby, right?"
Yin Yichen seemed very excited when she saw the large bloodstains on this place.
"Don't run around, come back."
Yin Yichen, who was about to leave the team, was immediately pulled back by Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, this bloodstain... shouldn't be from that wild boar. The color is darker..."
Leng Mengyao had already squatted down and began to carefully examine the bloodstains on the ground.
Lu Xuan also half-knelt down and carefully scanned the bloodstains here.
"It's possible that this is the blood of another animal. Everyone, please be alert. There might be other carnivorous animals here."
Being in an unfamiliar jungle and discovering the blood of other animals, Lu Xuan had to be vigilant again.
"No way! Could it be that Cheng Yaojin will suddenly appear and steal our meat from us?"
Yin Yichen originally thought that the injured wild boar was already the object of her group's blessing, but now a "third party" suddenly appeared. The girl frowned and expressed strong dissatisfaction.
"Lu Xuan, do you think it could be those primitive people?"
Leng Mengyao then proposed another hypothesis, but this hypothesis sounded even more disturbing.
"Let's find a big tree and hide first. Safety first."
At that moment, his group of people had no village in front and no shop behind, and were exposed in the jungle on all sides. Lu Xuan also felt a little uneasy.
The four of them immediately moved about ten steps south and found a huge banyan tree to rely on.
"You guys eat something, drink some water, and replenish your energy. I'll climb up and take a look around."
Lu Xuan handed the backpack to everyone and climbed up the big banyan tree swiftly.
The trunk of this banyan tree is estimated to be four or five meters thick, and the height of the tree is more than fifteen or sixteen meters. It should be the thickest and tallest tree I have found along the way.
Relying on his good skills, Lu Xuan climbed to a height of six or seven meters with the telescope in his pocket without much effort.
He took out his telescope and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
To the east is a dense jungle, and to the west, there are more low bushes, and the vegetation is not as dense as here. However, to the south, there are towering trees that stretch as far as the eye can see, with branches intertwined like a dragon, winding up into the clouds.
If the bloodstains really extended all the way south, Lu Xuan would have to carefully consider whether he and his group should continue to advance southward at the risk of unknown danger.
Just when Lu Xuan raised the telescope for the second time and looked towards the jungle on the south side, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash by.
Lu Xuan once again held the telescope tightly and carefully observed the south...
There seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the deep jungle in the south, and there were obvious signs of falling leaves.
Apparently...
Something's happening in the south!
