The scene of wild boars fighting was so intense that it could only be described as a chaotic spectacle with flying sand and stones, and the sky darkened.
Meng Tianze's face turned pale, and he gestured for Jiang Qinyu to go back.
Jiang Qinyu knew this was something they couldn't handle right now, so she quickly retreated.
After they returned, Meng Tianze made a "shh" gesture to everyone, then pointed to the way they had come, indicating that everyone should go back first.
Having already cooperated twice, everyone immediately understood and tacitly reached out to touch her from behind with gentler movements.
The group stopped only when they could no longer hear the wild boars howling.
"Old Meng, what's the situation up ahead?" Village Chief Li asked nervously.
Meng Tianze briefly described what he had just witnessed, then looked at Jiang Qinyu and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think we can wipe out all the animals over there in one fell swoop?"
Village Chief Li also asked anxiously, "Yes, niece, why don't you think of another way?"
Jiang Qinyu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. "Uncle Village Chief, Brother Meng, there are wolves and hyenas there, and the wild boars are also very dangerous. There are only a dozen or so of us, I'm afraid we can't handle it."
It seems that Village Chief Li and his group have developed a habitual way of thinking; when they encounter such a ferocious beast, their first thought is not to run away, but to wipe them all out.
Jiang Qinyu didn't know whether to applaud them or feel a chill for them.
"No way!" Village Chief Li said in disappointment, "Those are two wild boars, three wolves, and two hyenas..."
Putting aside how much meat they have, their skin alone is quite tempting!
Jiang Qinyu quickly dissuaded him, "But wolves and hyenas are very fast and strong, we really can't take the risk."
The two wild boars fighting are unlikely to be easily attracted away, but the wolves and hyenas watching the spectacle cannot be ignored.
Chen Shao and the other fast-running young men went down the mountain. The few who remained on the mountain were also strong and powerful, but the difference in strength between them and so many wild beasts was too great.
"So we're just going to let it go like this?" Village Chief Li asked, sounding quite distressed.
Jiang Qinyu raised an eyebrow. "Of course not."
Hyenas and wolves are all watching and picking up scraps, why can't they?
"Then what should we do?" Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li's eyes lit up frighteningly, and he stared intently at Jiang Qinyu as if afraid she would run away.
Jiang Qinyu tried to ignore their stares, waved to everyone, and then quietly explained her plan.
"Hurry up, everyone get back to work!" After Jiang Qinyu finished speaking, Village Chief Li waved his hand in a low voice.
Meng Tianze asked Jiang Qinyu in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, why do you think those two wild boars are fighting over there?"
“It must be a struggle for water,” Jiang Qinyu said thoughtfully. “We killed that tiger, and this place used to be its territory. Now that the tiger is gone, other animals will naturally come to take over the territory and compete for the water.”
Meng Tianze suddenly realized and asked, "Then is that thing you asked us to get really as powerful as you say?"
Jiang Qinyu shook her head, "The substance isn't pure enough, so forget about its lethality, but it can disrupt the opponent's rhythm and buy us an opportunity."
Trying to snatch something from the jaws of a wild beast isn't so easy, but Jiang Qinyu has now unlocked the aquatic product area and has the ability to lure away wild beasts by bringing out some fishy-smelling seafood.
Of course, it all depends on how well the two wild boars end up fighting.
"Alright, as long as you have a good idea of what's going on, I'll go ahead and keep an eye on things. You guys need to get here as soon as possible," Meng Tianze nodded.
Jiang Qinyu asked Liu Erleng and the others to collect saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. The first two items could be found in this mountain and nearby, and the charcoal could be made by themselves.
That's right, Jiang Qinyu wants to make gunpowder.
It wasn't a bomb, just gunpowder, but it was more powerful than the basic version.
Back then, she studied it carefully in class and even did some research on her own. After all, if you're going to learn about explosives, you need to have a good grasp of these things so you won't panic.
Village Chief Li then led his men to reinforce the existing large net.
“Those beasts are incredibly strong, so we can’t let our guard down. We need to check every joint carefully and fix any that are loose or damaged!” Village Chief Li said to the group while inspecting the area.
"Don't worry, village chief, this is nothing!"
Just thinking about those two wild boars made several people swallow hard.
These people rarely get to eat pork, even once a year. Now, thousands of kilograms of pork are right in front of them. If they miss out on this opportunity, they will feel bad for years.
Meanwhile, the people who went to find saltpeter and sulfur also arrived, and the charcoal had been prepared.
"Ah Zheng's family, do you think these are the things?" Liu Erleng asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Qinyu picked them up, examined them, and smelled them. After confirming that the items were correct, she nodded, "Yes, these are all."
"So what's next?" Liu Erleng watched as Village Chief Li and the others worked enthusiastically on setting up the large net, and he was itching to join in.
Jiang Qinyu smiled and said, "I'll do the rest. Uncle Liu, you can go and rest first."
"How can we rest? I'll go help the village chief and the others." Liu Erleng said and left with his men.
Jiang Qinyu ignored this and began making gunpowder with relatively low power.
Everyone knows the normal proportions of gunpowder, but laymen may not be aware of the others.
Jiang Qinyu suddenly felt very fortunate that the major she had randomly chosen would come in handy; otherwise, she might not have been able to help in this situation.
She worked quickly and soon prepared gunpowder of different powers according to different proportions.
Jiang Qinyu clapped her hands, stood up, looked around, picked up the smallest amount of gunpowder, and walked towards a small earthen mound.
