To ensure a sufficient food supply for all eight people to reach their destination, large prey is necessary.
Wild boar is definitely the best choice; its pork is high in calories, and every part of it is a treasure.
Most importantly, wild boars are easiest to kill in November and December.
This is because it is their mating season, which is also the time when the pigs gather the most.
Generally speaking, wild boars are active at dusk, but their biological clock completely changes when the mating season arrives.
During this period, no matter when, the boar and the sow will go in opposite directions to a place with more food to mate.
If it weren't for wanting to get the weapon sooner, Ye Feng would have already made his move here.
"Hey bro, is this place okay? I can't see a single pig here!"
Zhan Pengwu, carrying Samperm's corpse on his back, asked with a look of disgust...
After a person dies, within 3 to 6 hours, putrefactive bacteria in the intestines multiply rapidly, producing putrefactive gases.
In short, the smell of a corpse...
The climate and various bacteria in the rainforest will accelerate this process significantly.
It has been about two and a half hours since Samperm died.
It had also begun to emit an unpleasant odor.
The stench made Zhan Pengwu want to vomit several times…
However, for wild boars, this smell might be the most delicious aroma in the world.
Ye Feng had extensive experience in slaughtering pigs, so he naturally understood this.
"Don't worry, this place is great, I've wanted to come for a long time."
After saying that, Ye Feng continued walking forward on his own. The two followed closely behind…
Soon, they came to a patch of grass with many obvious gullies.
The grass and flowers here grow intertwined, and it doesn't look much different from the forests I've encountered before.
But upon closer inspection, one will discover that beneath the dense green leaves lies a scene of various root plants growing unrestrained.
Ye Feng observed for a moment and noticed that many of the grasses had dripping leaf tips, and there were also several large strangler fig trees, even the flowers were stem flowers.
More than 50% of the plants in the entire forest are root plants.
It's all the things wild boars love to eat.
Ye Feng couldn't help but smirk...
"These wild boars certainly know how to pick their spots. Mating amidst lush green food piles must be quite a pleasant experience."
Tang Weiwei glanced around and smiled.
"It looks like this is indeed a good place. Look at these gullies, so many of them have been dug out."
Ye Feng walked to a ditch and squatted down. Many of the grasses were trampled flat or bent to the sides.
On the muddy ground, there were many scissor footprints of varying sizes and depths, as well as scattered droppings.
It seems like not much time has passed...
He estimates that at least four wild boars have been spotted here recently.
Although the feces were messy, most of them were still intact, just scattered by the other pigs.
This means that this is definitely a place where they frequently appear.
Even if they don't eat or mate here, it's still a necessary route, a chosen ambush location.
Ye Feng looked around for a while and finally chose a patch of grass with the most footprints.
Then he handed the entrenching tool and the homemade wooden shovel to the two men.
"You two stay here and dig, I'll go find some materials to set up a trap."
Remember! Don't damage these turf plants; they're essential for concealing traps.
Whether we can have a whole pig feast tonight depends on your efficiency.
"OK!"
Upon hearing about the whole pig feast, the two immediately became highly motivated, grabbed shovels, and began digging frantically…
Because of our hard work, the process only took about half an hour.
It must be said that those who practice martial arts are also quite capable when it comes to work.
The two worked almost non-stop, digging a large, circular pit.
Both the diameter and depth are approximately two meters…
The two originally wanted to dig up one more, but Ye Feng, being cautious, felt that there probably wasn't enough time.
It's already past 3:30 PM, and the wild boars will be out soon.
If we alert the enemy, all our efforts will be in vain.
He picked up a small pile of wooden sticks, each over two meters long, and laid them out in a crisscross pattern on the circular trap.
Then I stood on it and stepped on it...
The stick was slightly bent, but it held him up.
Ye Feng's current weight is only about 145 kg, while an adult Red River wild boar weighs between 50 and 130 kg.
As usual, he wanted to use this trap to catch at least two of them at once.
This means that the load-bearing capacity of the trap needs to be controlled.
Moreover, the weight of Samperm's body must also be taken into account.
Fortunately, this wasn't his first time doing this job, and he quickly added a few more wooden sticks as support points.
Once he felt everything was alright, he took out the spikes from his bag.
These were pulled from traps set up in the camp; each one was cleaned and was extremely sharp.
Anyway, we won't need it anymore, so we might as well use it to catch wild boars.
He spent several minutes filling the trap pit with spikes.
They then covered the trap with the grass...
After being carefully modified, even a person wouldn't notice anything amiss unless they looked closely.
Next comes the most important step: baiting the food.
Ye Feng first had the two men move the corpse onto the trap, and then planned to cut open the corpse's stomach to expose its internal organs.
In this way, the smell of decay will be even stronger and travel further.
This task naturally fell to Tang Weiwei and Zhan Pengwu, both of whom looked disgusted.
It's one thing for them to fight and kill each other, but to dissect one's own kind alive is truly disgusting.
"Hey bro, can't you just leave him here? Didn't you say wild boars have a really good nose?"
Zhan Pengwu shook his head reluctantly.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you two still want to eat pork?"
"I didn't ask you to cut him open completely, I just wanted you to make an incision in his stomach to let the smell out."
Upon hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Each of them took a knife and made a cross-shaped incision on the corpse's stomach.
All sorts of internal organs immediately sprang out, but along with them came a strong, putrid stench.
"Ugh!~"
The two of them simultaneously vomited violently in one direction, dry heaving incessantly.
Ye Feng also pinched his nose, his facial features contorted in pain.
Although it wasn't the first time he'd done this, the stench was indescribable.
He wouldn't have done this if there wasn't enough bait.
Ye Feng suppressed the churning in his stomach and scattered some nuts and the roots and vines he had just collected from his backpack around the corpse.
After finishing all this, he patted the mud off his hands, pointed to the two trees closest to the trap, and said to the two men:
"You two, one in front of the other, will each squat in the tree. In at most another hour, those beasts will come out, and they might even smell the animals and come out early."
Remember, you must wait until the trap is triggered before you shoot the arrow. That's up to you now.
