Wild boars can smell food up to 11 kilometers away. Their sense of smell is quite acute…
You can use your nose to tell how ripe food is, and you can even find a walnut under two meters of snow.
During mating season, male wild boars can also use their sense of smell to locate female wild boars.
Seeing this, everyone else realized that something was wrong.
They all looked at Ye Feng, awaiting his orders.
If you fire an arrow at this point, you're guaranteed to catch two pigs.
But Ye Feng kept shaking his head, clearly not intending to make a move at this time.
What a joke! He went to all that trouble to set up such a huge trap.
If there are only two pigs, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
His target today is at least four pigs. This is a rare opportunity, and he absolutely cannot act rashly if he gets fewer than that.
The most important reason was that he was certain that these wild boars would risk their lives for the delicious food in front of them.
Pigs are pigs after all; the desire to eat is something ingrained in their genes.
That can never be changed; it's their nature.
However, the crowd didn't quite understand, thinking that since they had already been discovered, they might as well take action directly and take down both ends first.
However, since Ye Feng hadn't given any instructions, they had no choice but to comply.
A few minutes later, the pigs finally started to move.
The lead boar was still sniffing around with its nose raised, but the aroma of the food seemed to have completely captivated it.
It couldn't help but start taking steps, walking towards the center of the trap.
Although it still appears cautious, desire ultimately triumphs over its reason.
Soon, it walked into the trap.
The seemingly flat ground sank slightly, but the boar was completely unaware.
The pig buried its snout directly into the pile of internal organs and began to chew it voraciously.
At the same time, the pleasant humming sounds it made attracted the other four to slowly approach.
"Hmph, he really is a pig, he will never be able to get rid of his gluttony."
"Fine, maybe be more careful in your next life."
After thinking it over, he gave the others a wink, and they immediately got ready to go.
Some drew their bows, others threw stones. Fu Changxiong, lacking any ranged attack methods, could only raise his axe, intending to try throwing it as well.
They all focused their attention and kept a close watch on the footsteps of the four wild boars.
Before long, one of the sows quickened its pace and successfully entered the trap, where it began to feast.
The land has subsided a bit more.
It was already quite obvious, but they only made a couple of soft noises before continuing to eat.
The arrows were already fully drawn; the trap could only support the weight of three wild boars at most.
If another one steps on it, they will fall into the pit.
If Ye Feng and his companions could kill the remaining two animals in that instant, the hunting operation would be a complete success.
The crowd, holding their breath, aimed various weapons at the two pigs that were walking at the back.
They could almost see pork chops and pork tenderloin beckoning to them.
But just as the third wild boar raised its foot, preparing to step into the trap...
A sudden squeal from a pig in the distance made them stop and take two steps back.
The two pigs that were eating immediately stopped eating.
They walked straight out of the trap, with the boar among them letting out a low, angry grunt as it faced left and forward.
This tense atmosphere clearly indicates that a formidable opponent has arrived.
"What!?"
Ye Feng was so anxious he wanted to stomp his feet. He was about to close the net when suddenly a pig appeared.
He quickly turned his head and saw a Red River wild boar of similar size slowly walking towards the boar at the edge of the trap.
Its ears are covered in much longer downy hair, and the two large bells on its hind legs sway back and forth, giving it a very formidable appearance.
This must be the boar that attacked Liu Sisi that day.
Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine; things were now completely out of his control.
During their mating season, male pigs are enemies to each other. Unless one side chooses to completely submit, they will fight whenever they meet.
Currently, the condition of these two pigs clearly falls into the latter category.
Ye Feng looked up at the sky. The sun had already dipped below the mountains, and at most 40 minutes later, night would fall.
Even if the wild boar is successfully killed by then, the combination of pork and fish will attract countless carnivorous poisonous creatures.
There's no other way; we can only take what we can get right now. Food is important, but life is more important.
Just as he was about to release the arrow, he saw the two pigs suddenly go berserk.
They started moving at the same time, both putting in their best effort, rushing towards each other at an extremely fast speed.
The two pigs, full of fighting spirit, instantly head-on collided.
A muffled thud.
Both of them took a small step back and shook their heads, clearly indicating that they had collided quite hard.
The two most important things in a wild boar's life are mating rights and food.
Right now, both things are right in front of them. So, the two pigs are fighting for their positions, neither willing to back down an inch.
The two sides collided again and began to struggle.
But in less than three seconds, the shorter-haired end couldn't handle it.
Its two hind legs were firmly embedded in the soil, yet it was still being pushed backward by the other end.
The powerful force left two furrows in the ground.
Seeing that it couldn't win in a physical contest, the short-haired wild boar simply swung its enormous head upwards.
The outward-facing tusks instantly pierced the hairy wild boar's chin.
After feeling the pain, it let out a loud squeal and immediately began to nudge and bite.
The two pigs were rubbing their heads together; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were kissing.
The sounds of collisions and shouts rose and fell. Neither side was willing to give way.
Their fighting even startled the birds in the forest.
This scene left Ye Feng and the others, as well as the four sows, dumbfounded.
Such a scene is rare, but at the same time, they finally understood the origin of the saying "first pig, second bear, third tiger".
When this beast goes berserk, he fights like a madman, he's fearless.
He rammed, nudged, and bit, using every means at his disposal, and the more he fought, the more energetic he became, showing absolutely no sign of backing down—a pure brute.
In less than a minute, the heads of the two pigs were covered with bite marks.
Blood was flowing uncontrollably from that hideous and irregular wound.
Both sides sustained injuries, but the short-haired wild boar had more wounds and was clearly at a disadvantage.
Its steps were also slowly moving backward, as if it was about to admit defeat.
But the hairy wild boar seemed to have lost its temper, and after a roar full of fighting spirit...
It charged forward again, and the short-haired wild boar had no choice but to meet it head-on.
"Thump!"
Another loud thud rang out, but this time, the outcome was already decided.
The short-haired wild boar tilted its head to the side and rolled onto its side.
