Seeing this, Fu Changxiong quickly grabbed a leftover stick from the foundation work and started poking at the pig's nose and eyes...
However, their attacks not only failed to repel the wild boars, but instead made their howls louder and their attacks more ferocious...
Fu Changxiong wanted to lie down and chop with the axe in his hand, but Ye Feng stopped him...
Wild boars can bite; if you get dragged down, you're as good as dead…
"What should we do? If this keeps up, the vines will break..."
Fu Changxiong asked anxiously…
At this moment, Ye Feng was also extremely anxious. If the binding vines broke, the beam would shake and fall down...
The fruits of a day's hard work will be reduced to ashes...
His mind raced, and as he looked around, he suddenly spotted the frying pan beside the fire, and a brilliant idea instantly popped into his head…
He quickly stepped forward and picked up the frying pan, which contained the water he had just used to cook the crabs…
"Nobita, get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong immediately hid to the side...
Ye Feng looked down at the two wild boars, still going berserk, and a cold smile appeared on his lips…
"Hmph! They say a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water, but I'd like to see... whether you two live pigs are afraid or not!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped the frying pan in his hand, and boiling water poured out...
"Waaah!"
The pig's squeals, much louder than before, instantly resounded throughout the night sky.
It's clear they've been really hurt this time...
As they fled in pain, they kicked over a piglet, and soon the disheveled family disappeared from sight…
Fu Changxiong chuckled…
"Brother, why are they not afraid of you when you poke them with torches, but they are afraid of this boiling water?"
Ye Feng glanced back at the torch in his hand…
"Because wild boars have very thick hides, the sparks from the torches can hurt them, but they are not fatal and cannot break through their defenses... Instead, they will only provoke them."
But boiling water can cause large-area scalds, and just now, I poured it directly on their heads, some of it even got into their mouths... no wonder it hurts..."
Fu Changxiong asked with some concern:
"Does this thing hold grudges? You said it's a social animal, what if it brings people over tomorrow?"
Ye Feng's eyebrows shot up suddenly, and he was momentarily speechless. These words had served as a wake-up call for him...
He didn't know much about wild boars, only that they were social animals with a strong sense of territory...
The reason it didn't appear the previous two days was most likely due to the rain...
As for whether he would call on other wild boars to join the attack, he really wasn't sure.
However, we should definitely try our best to avoid unknown risks.
Even the basic framework of the shelter isn't finished yet, so a lot of trees still need to be cut down...
With such ferocious animals roaming around, how can the work be completed?
After thinking for a while, Ye Feng said seriously:
"Put the shelter aside for now, come with me tomorrow to kill wild boars."
"good!"
Fu Changxiong nodded excitedly... After the two finished eating all the crabs, they lay down on their sides by the fire and fell into a deep sleep...
Ye Feng was exhausted these past two days. He was physically drained, constantly on edge, and hadn't had a good night's sleep in two days...
Even on this uneven, cheap floor, he started snoring...
The weather was kind to us tonight, it didn't rain... but time flew by...
As the night passed and the chirping of insects and birds faded away, the sky gradually began to lighten...
Ye Feng, who was enjoying a sumptuous meal in his sleep, was suddenly awakened by a bright light...
When I groggily opened my eyes, I found the sun already high in the sky…
He stretched and rubbed his aching ribs. There was no way around it; the floor was made of bundled wooden sticks, and it was really uncomfortable…
A moment later, he looked around and panicked when he realized Fu Changxiong was gone…
He quickly reached for the axe and knife at his waist, and seeing that they were still on his person, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief…
If he really lost his tools, wouldn't that be tantamount to taking his life?
Just then, Fu Changxiong came up from below, carrying several blue crabs and a small snake...
Upon seeing Ye Feng, he flashed his signature憨厚 (honest and simple) smile; Ye Feng had told him about it yesterday…
There are small fish and shrimp in the water, and many snakes also like to hunt near the water's edge...
As long as he stayed by the pond and worked a little harder, he wouldn't starve, so he went to find food early in the morning...
"Brother, I'm not very bright, this is all I can catch. Luckily I found a small snake, which will do for a bite..."
Seeing that his hands were covered in mosquito bites, Ye Feng guessed what was going on and felt quite relieved...
"It's good enough that we have something to eat. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."
"Hehe, okay!"
Fu Changxiong responded and began to put the crabs into the pot to stew...
Ye Feng jumped off the platform, checked the rope, and found that there wasn't a major problem...
The elephant-leg tree, however, was covered in wounds and bite marks. From the side, there was even a small dent in the tree surface...
Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine; he had underestimated the wild boar's lethality...
Just a few impacts were enough to dent such a thick tree; if that had hit a person, their bones would probably have broken on the spot…
After breakfast, the two began preparations for hunting wild boar...
The skin of the warty boar is very tough; to penetrate its defenses and inflict a fatal wound, one would need a very sharp, penetrating weapon…
Although a knife and an axe could also do the same, Ye Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to go up and fight it in close combat.
In fact, the bow and arrow is the most perfect weapon, but a bow and arrow made from materials sourced in this environment probably wouldn't even be able to kill a wild boar.
So, after careful consideration, Ye Feng decided to set a trap…
The general idea is to dig a deep pit in an area where wild boars frequently appear, and then fill the bottom with sharpened bamboo skewers...
Then cover the pit, and finally sprinkle some food that wild boars like to eat...
This way, it's both safe and convenient; even if you don't kill them directly, they'll bleed to death from prolonged bleeding.
After all, wild boars don't have the jumping ability of jaguars...
Without further ado, the two quickly finished their crab and plunged into the jungle…
The Amazon has more than 16,000 species of trees, which is the most abundant and readily available resource in the region.
In less than an hour, the two men had brought back a large bundle of fresh wood…
It has to be said that with Fu Changxiong, this incredibly strong and capable assistant, Ye Feng's life is indeed much easier.
The bundle of trees on his back must weigh at least 300 pounds. If Ye Feng were to carry it, he would probably have to make two trips.
Back at the camp, Fu Changxiong was drenched in sweat and collapsed onto the ground, his shoulders bearing two deep, bloody welts from the straps.
Ye Feng frowned upon seeing this…
"Nobita, don't try to be a hero next time. If you can't carry it, just tell me. Don't be a whiner..."
