Ye Feng waved his hand...
"It's just a trivial skill, something you learned from a book. You'd better hurry up and catch up, it's getting dark..."
At this point, he glanced around warily…
"I can vaguely sense that countless eyes are watching us..."
"Hmph, these beasts would love to devour us until not even bones are left..."
"Don't worry, I'll be done soon."
Having said that, Fu Changxiong quickly increased his typing speed...
9 p.m.
A tiny light appeared halfway up the pitch-black hillside…
At this moment, Ye Feng and his companion sat cross-legged on the treehouse platform, looking at the crackling fire in front of them, feeling incredibly content...
Although there were no walls around the platform, and they could even occasionally hear the rustling and movement of insects below, they weren't worried at all...
Because they are far from the ground, at least 80% of dangerous encounters are avoided.
Eight large blue crabs and five small crayfish are simmering in a frying pan, emitting a wonderful aroma...
After a busy day, both of them were exhausted. Finally, they no longer needed to worry too much about safety...
Feeling the warmth from the roaring campfire, Ye Feng grinned, his heart brimming with a sense of accomplishment...
It was such a fulfilling day. He had never felt before that a simple treehouse platform and a fire could give him such a strong sense of security…
It seems that my past life wasn't so bad after all...
"Sizzle..."
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly...
"Hey bro, you're laughing so hard, did you come up with a way to kill a wild boar?"
Fu Changxiong grinned and asked...
Ye Feng paused slightly, looked at the honest-looking big man, and nodded with a smile…
"I didn't expect you to actually be thinking about eating pork? What? Are you not getting enough to eat?"
Fu Changxiong shook his head repeatedly…
"No, no, no! Brother, don't misunderstand. You saved me and are willing to help me win the game."
I can never repay this great kindness, so why would I complain?
I'll eat as much as you're willing to give me; I'm just worried..."
Ye Feng waved his hand...
"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. Being able to eat means you have a good appetite, that's a good thing..."
As for those wild boars, I have plenty of ways to deal with them.
However, as I said before, our top priority right now is shelters.
There should at least be a roof over my head; I don't want to get rained on while I'm sleeping.
"Come on, let's eat something first. We're going to be busy for the next few days."
As he spoke, he used chopsticks made of wooden twigs to pick out the crabs and lobsters one by one…
He kept only four crabs and one lobster for himself, giving the rest to Fu Changxiong…
Adult Amazonian mud crabs are incredibly plump and meaty; even the smallest are the size of a palm…
Ye Feng ripped off one of the pincers, bit open the shell, and revealed the white crab meat.
One bite, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat... Then, as you crack open the crab shell, the crab roe bursts into your mouth...
Ye Feng felt as if his soul had been elevated. Yes, people in such harsh environments are so easily satisfied…
Compared to him, Fu Changxiong's eating manners were even more rude; he chewed and swallowed the shell whole, claiming it was a good source of calcium and good for you…
The two of them quietly enjoyed their river seafood feast amidst the lush greenery and the buzzing of mosquitoes in the darkness...
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance…
The two immediately put down the crabs they were holding and stood up to look in the direction of the sound…
Unfortunately, it was too dark to see what was coming from...
But Ye Feng could clearly hear that the running frequency was definitely not the sound of human footsteps…
"Could it be... a jaguar!?"
That was his first thought; these big cats like to appear and disappear unpredictably.
"Nobita! Quick, grab your weapon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Changxiong immediately grabbed an axe and stood in front of Ye Feng...
"It's alright, leave it to me!"
Ye Feng also picked up the short knife, and then pulled a burning piece of wood from the fire to use as a torch, waving it around in an attempt to intimidate the big cat...
With weapons, the two of them could actually hold their own in a head-on confrontation...
Even if they successfully killed the jaguar, someone would inevitably be injured, or even die. Ye Feng didn't want to take that risk…
Just then, the footsteps grew closer and closer, accompanied by whimpering sounds…
Ye Feng immediately guessed what the animal was and was about to remind him when Fu Changxiong shouted first:
"It's a wild boar!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a black wild boar with protruding tusks and sparse bristles on its head charged toward the two of them...
Judging from its large size, Ye Feng estimated that the pig weighed over 250 jin (approximately 125 catties) and was probably a male.
With a dull thud, the wild boar's rectangular head slammed into the elephant-leg tree...
The two of them lost their balance for a moment, and their bodies both tilted slightly...
Ye Feng hadn't expected that even this tree, as thick as a washbasin and as big as an elephant's leg, would be knocked so hard it shook...
Before the two could react, another series of footsteps came from not far away...
When they saw its shape clearly, the two men's eyes widened. It was another wild boar, and it was followed by seven or eight piglets.
Its fangs weren't as long as the first one, and its body was smaller, but its speed was just as good...
"Thump!"
Another muffled thud, and the elephant-leg tree swayed once more…
Seeing that their first attack had failed, the two pigs shook their slightly dizzy heads and let out sharp squeals... They began to repeatedly nudge and ram against the elephant-leg tree...
This animal has very poor eyesight, especially at night, and can basically only distinguish things by smell...
Ye Feng knew that wild boars with piglets were extremely aggressive; they would attack without hesitation as soon as they smelled any animal nearby…
They won't even spare unfamiliar members of their own kind... They're wild and ferocious, far more terrifying than jaguars...
Ye Feng was extremely grateful that his treehouse platform was high enough; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have survived the night.
Fu Changxiong suddenly shouted:
"That's it! The one that attacked me during the day!"
Looking at the seven or eight piglets behind the two pigs, Ye Feng realized that he might have oversimplified the problem…
These are a pair of wild boars...
If these things aren't dealt with quickly, my life could be in danger at any moment. With my skinny arms and legs, I can't withstand a collision like an elephant or a tree...
After thinking it over, he used the torch in his hand to poke the raging wild boar below.
The wild boar, in pain, let out two soft squeals and then slowly retreated...
Just when the two thought they had all left, they were surprised to learn that they were merely gathering their strength…
"Thump! Thump!"
Two more impacts rang out, and the elephant-leg tree shook even more violently than before…
This shows that the two wild boars were completely enraged...
