"Sisi, how long did it take you to walk back to the camp from here last time?"
"Well…"
Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows and thought for three seconds…
"It took me more than forty minutes to get here. If I walk a little faster back, it should only take me less than half an hour."
Ye Feng sighed helplessly.
"Everyone, it seems we don't have time. Let's start fishing."
"What?"
Almost simultaneously, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Feng, the fish and meat on our bodies, plus the tools we seized, add up to at least 250 jin (125 catties)."
"If we kill a few more wild boars, we won't be able to transport them all back."
"How about we go back first, empty our backpacks, and then come back?"
"Brother, as long as the backpack is okay, I should be able to make it back to camp carrying 350 pounds."
But these two girls are in for a tough time. If they can't carry all the meat, other animals will eat it soon. Wouldn't that be a waste?
They all knew that Ye Feng had big ambitions and would never kill just one or two pigs.
Liu Sisi had assessed the weight of those wild boars; even the smallest sow probably weighed 100 kilograms.
That boar leader is probably over 120 pounds; if too many are slaughtered, they can't be transported all at once.
But if it's split into two trips, it will take at least an hour to go back and forth.
During this period, the stench of the corpses' blood was enough to attract many carnivores.
There is a very high probability that this will bring them a lot of unnecessary danger.
After all, the Amazon's carnivorous population also includes many carnivorous insects.
Many of these insects are poisonous.
Even if you are not bitten yourself, pork that has been bitten by them is no longer edible.
Listening to the opinions raised by everyone, Ye Feng felt they made sense and immediately fell into deep thought.
He stroked his beard, pondering a solution in his mind.
It's almost 4 p.m. now. If I go back and put my things away first...
It will be 5 o'clock when we come back, and it gets dark between 5:30 and 6 o'clock.
In the middle, traps had to be set, and then the body had to be dissected before finally being transported back.
Going through all these procedures will definitely take too long.
If I were to walk alone at night again like last time, the risk would be far too high.
But if we start now, how do we get it back?
Carrying them on your back? That's definitely impossible; five wild boars would weigh at least a thousand kilograms.
This is far beyond what you can handle, and it might even damage your backpack.
What if we kill two fewer?
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly; this method was indeed feasible.
However, unlike the warty wild boars we encountered before, the Red River wild boars do not have fixed territories.
They generally eat wherever they go, especially during mating season, when they will travel far to find other pigs to mate with based on their scent.
If we startle them this time, whether we can meet them again next time will depend entirely on fate.
Moreover, once they become wary, they will run away when they see people, making them harder to kill.
Ye Feng didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity; if he was going to kill, he had to kill them all.
Therefore, at present, we can only try to find a solution from the transportation aspect.
"If carrying it on your back isn't an option, then... how about carrying it on your shoulder?"
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and after looking around, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I've made up my mind! Kill them now. As for the transportation, that's simple."
There are trees everywhere here, we'll just carry them on our backs. And don't forget, we still have six empty backpacks.”
The crowd looked at each other, bewildered, not quite understanding what he meant.
Only Liu Sisi blinked her big eyes, seemingly understanding Ye Feng's thoughts.
"Oh! I see. You mean, chop the pork into pieces and put it in the backpack."
Then use the tree trunk as a carrying pole, hang the backpack on it, and that way...
"It only takes two people, one in front and one behind, carrying the tree trunk, to transport a lot of pork."
"clever."
Ye Feng gave her a thumbs up.
"The only way for humans to transport goods by hand is by carrying them, which is both the most powerful and the least strenuous."
Generally speaking, in this way, as long as the load is sturdy enough, two normal people can lift 400 jin (200 catties).
Nobita should know this better than I do.
Fu Changxiong was slightly taken aback, then slapped his forehead.
"Yeah, hey, why didn't I think of that? Carrying it is definitely less strenuous and safer."
Moreover, this meat needs to be packed into several backpacks, unlike a stone which is a single, solid mass and its power is dispersed.
"The two of us should be able to carry 500 pounds without any problem."
"Alright. Now that the plan is set, let's get started."
Ye Feng immediately went back and put his backpack back on.
He then led everyone to a relatively open area in the forest.
From the air, this area is about 20 square meters.
Enclosed in a rectangle by four large trees, it is a rare clearing in the forest.
Ye Feng stood in the center, looked around, and smiled with satisfaction.
The four trees around here are perfect shooting positions, offering a commanding view, clear visibility, and a short distance.
It was practically a god-given ambush site.
"Perfect, this is it. You guys, get to work. I'll go do some preparatory work."
After saying that, the four of them cut some branches around them to use as digging tools and began to dig.
They all knew that time was of the essence, so everyone used their fastest speed.
Fortunately, it had just rained, and the soil was soft and moist, so it didn't take much effort to dig.
Gradually, the small pit turned into a large pit, and the surrounding soft, rotten soil also increased.
Finally, thanks to the tireless efforts of the four people, a square pit about 1.7 meters deep was completed in less than half an hour.
Ye Feng had already completed his preparations and had been watching the pit for a while.
During this time, he collected some sticks to set up traps and two logs to make a carrying pole.
I also picked some leaves from root vegetables, which are wild boars' favorite vegetables.
With both meat and vegetables, there's no fear of wild boars refusing to bite.
He waved to the crowd covered in mud.
"Okay, come on up."
Liu Sisi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her dirty hands.
"Brother Feng, at this height, wouldn't a wild boar jump up? And shouldn't we put some wooden skewers down there?"
"Need not."
Ye Feng waved his hand.
"Red River wild boars have poor jumping ability, heavy bodies, and inflexible limbs. In addition, the mud is so slippery that jumping up here means that it has become a spirit."
As for the wooden skewers, oh dear, I don't have time to whittle them; it's unnecessary.
"As long as they're trapped, one arrow will have the same effect."
Upon hearing this, everyone climbed up one after another and began clearing away the piles of mud around the pit.
The main concern is that wild boars might be wary.
Soon, after the cleanup was completed, Ye Feng picked up a wooden stick and began to set up the trap.
