They surrounded the entrance to the hole, watching their companion struggling and screaming in the pit, making whimpering noises as if they were saying something...
Wild boars in the Amazon are quite different from those in other places…
They had never seen humans before, and they didn't know what a trap was...
Here, they are the kings of the land; apart from jaguars and anacondas, almost no other animal can stand up to them head-on…
Therefore, their vigilance is naturally not as high as that of wild boars in other regions…
After circling around the pit, they realized they couldn't save their companion.
There seemed to be no other enemies around, so they could only disperse...
The intelligence of wild boars has always been a mystery. While they may seem unintelligent, they do know how to live in groups and will immediately run to help their companions in distress.
It's not that it's clever; even though its companions had already fallen into the pit, it was still thinking about eating.
At that moment, two more wild boars headed towards another trap…
Seeing the pile of nuts on the ground, they stepped on them without thinking.
"Awooo!..."
Another heart-wrenching squeal rang out, and unsurprisingly, the two pigs fell into the pit.
The other pigs scattered immediately, without even turning their heads, as if they were quite frightened.
In their perception, there were no natural enemies around, yet their companions inexplicably let out screams, which was indeed quite strange.
The trap was just a few meters below Ye Feng. He could clearly see two sharp spikes embedded in the throat of one of the wild boars…
Blood immediately gushed from the wild boar's mouth, and both boars struggled desperately...
But the more they moved, the deeper the thorns pierced, and after a few minutes, the more severely injured one stopped struggling.
Ye Feng was slightly disappointed…
He had intended to use the sounds of the pigs to attract the wild boar king to come and investigate.
Then he and Fu Changxiong could throw their spears from top to bottom. If even one spear could pierce the Wild Boar King's body, it would surely die.
Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected, and the prey he wanted most never came.
Helpless, as darkness fell, Ye Feng decided he couldn't wait any longer; these wild boars had to be dealt with as soon as possible…
Otherwise, it will attract more predators after dark, and the meat will spoil within a few hours.
He beckoned to Fu Changxiong…
"Nobita, it's time to get to work!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly climbed down the tree...
Fu Changxiong stomped his numb feet, his face full of excitement…
"Hehe, brother, that's a brilliant move. I reckon those four pigs together must weigh over 800 jin (400 kg)."
Ye Feng couldn't hide the smile on his face either, and nodded, saying:
"Pretty much, it's just a pity that the wild boar king didn't come, he's lucky."
It's getting dark, let's get started..."
"Okay!"
Fu Changxiong gave a shout, and the two of them each took charge of a pit and began their work...
Ye Feng arrived at the second pit, where one of the wild boars that had fallen into the trap was still struggling desperately…
Four sharp spikes were stuck in his upper abdomen, and blood had stained half of his belly. He was wandering around in the pit, trying to find a way out.
Upon seeing Ye Feng, it let out a loud warning...
Ye Feng didn't want to listen to its nonsense, so he immediately thrust out a spear, hitting it squarely in the neck.
Blood gushed out immediately, but it did not die instantly; instead, its voice became even louder.
Ye Feng knew it was struggling to survive, so he thrust out several more spears, and a minute later, it completely lost its life.
Ye Feng was just about to go down and bring the two pigs up when he suddenly heard Fu Changxiong shout.
He immediately turned around and saw that the seven little wild boars were nudging his legs at Fu Changxiong's feet...
"Hey Da Xiong, you can't even handle a few wild boars?"
Fu Changxiong said somewhat awkwardly:
"Don't let their small size fool you, these piglets are surprisingly strong..."
"They're so small, they probably don't have much meat. Should we just release them?"
"Release them!?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened; these words struck him as utterly unbelievable...
"Are you kidding me? Their parents are dead, what's the point of them living? They definitely need to be wiped out completely."
Besides, wild boar is much tastier than adult pigs; it's the perfect ingredient for roast suckling pig.
If you can't do it, then let me do it!
Fu Changxiong smiled dismissively…
"What's there to be ashamed of? Watch me."
Having said that, he raised his spear and began stabbing wildly, and soon all seven little pigs fell to the ground…
There's no way around it; the law of the jungle is what matters here.
Imagine if that wild boar couple had destroyed Ye Feng's treehouse platform last night...
Without a doubt, Ye Feng and Ye Feng would be killed on the spot, and their bodies would be devoured by the wild boars.
Wild boars are omnivorous and love to eat carcasses and rotting flesh...
After a brief cleanup, the carcasses of all four wild boars were pulled out of the pit.
Since this is at the top of the mountain, all the two of them need to do is carry the wild boars back to the slope they came up the way from, and then casually toss them down the mountain to let them roll freely down the slope...
Since it was downhill, the process didn't take much time or effort.
And then comes the really time-consuming and labor-intensive work…
They carried all the wild boars to the pond, each with a knife, and got to work.
Ye Feng was in charge of dissecting the organs and discarding the inedible parts. Fu Changxiong, being strong, was responsible for chopping bones and mincing meat to remove the edible parts.
Although the process was tiring and they were bitten by mosquitoes many times, the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Today is only the fourth day of the game, and they've already achieved pork freedom...
This high-calorie food is something every survivor craves but can never have.
Most importantly, their flesh and blood can replenish salt.
Although it's not much, it's better than nothing.
Ye Feng roughly calculated that there were four adult wild boars and seven piglets, excluding some inedible internal organs and fur.
The edible portion weighs at least 350 pounds...
If you buy it directly from the market, at 15 yuan per jin (500g), that's over 5,000 yuan...
Furthermore, dried pigskin can be used to make gloves, leather jackets, or sleeves.
For people who spend a lot of time roaming in such dangerous rainforests, protecting their exposed skin is absolutely essential.
Besides this, pork fat can also be used to render lard and pork cracklings, which are convenient to preserve and can also satisfy hunger and cravings.
Pork bones are great for making soup, and pork blood can replenish the salt lost through sweating.
For the next two weeks, the two of them probably won't have to worry about food...
With this in mind, the two worked even harder, as if the more than 10 million US dollars were already within reach…
Ye Feng swiftly dissected the last pig...
This pig was the same boar that attacked the camp last night, but just as he cut open its belly…
An extremely foul, fishy odor instantly filled his nostrils...
