Chapter 272 River Safari (Ⅱ)

The wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and its body is covered with a mane full of turpentine and sand.

It is difficult for a small vampire bat to cause substantial damage to this group of strong beasts.

There was no response to the greeting, Joan and the others couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

If you intend to participate in the hunting, but have not obtained the consent of the other party, you may directly rush to hunt wild boars to arouse the hostility of the other party, and even fight for the prey, resulting in bloody conflicts.

Such precedents are not uncommon in previous hunting conferences.

Just when the four of them were hesitating, the bushes on the opposite side shook, and another hunting team heard the movement and rushed over.

The leader of the hunter holds a spear in both hands, and the two companions beside him hold a sword in their right hand and a shield in their left hand. Not far behind is an elf man in leather armor and a longbow slung across his shoulders. He looks like a ranger.

The elf ranger quickly observed the situation on the scene, and without saying a word, he raised his bow and arrow, and shot a green enchanted arrow towards the area where the wild boars were most densely populated.

The arrow was nailed to the grass with a "poof", and the landing point happened to be in the middle of the group of pigs. The shaft of the arrow burst immediately, sparking a circle of green magic halo.

The nearby vegetation grew wildly under the influence of magic power, and mutated into countless twisted snake-like vines, binding the wild boars around them who were at a loss.

The frightened wild boar struggled desperately and made a mess.

The three companions of the elf ranger rushed forward and teamed up to hunt down the wild boar bound by vines.

When the nearby hunting team saw them rushing over to snatch their prey, all four of them showed anger on their faces.

However, they also know that they cannot eat so many wild boars with the strength of their own team. While the other party snatched the prey, it also objectively helped them relieve the pressure, so they had to endure their anger and go all out to harvest the prey.

"Grandma! Look at the bloody world!"

"A good boy like us, who is civilized and polite, will not get any benefits, and other people with thick skins will take advantage of it!"

Roger raised his shotgun angrily and urged his companion loudly:

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it!"

Joan and the others were still a little hesitant, and the three frightened wild boars turned their heads and fled towards this side.

Dick's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Don't blame me, it was the wild boar who made the first move!"

Picking up the battle ax and the large shield, he charged towards the wild boar.

Boom!

Dick swung his shield vigorously, and bumped the wild boar running ahead.

The robust body of the young knight swayed slightly, and then he took big strides to catch up with the "Blazing Battle Axe", and slashed hard at the wild boar that had received a shield blow and was still staring at gold stars, killing the wild boar on the spot. The beast's hard skull was split open.

The magic power attached to the ax blade turned into raging flames, and ignited the bristles that were soaked in pine resin and hardened and flammable.

The wild boar, bloodied and on fire, wailed in despair, turned its head and staggered two steps before being overtaken by four hounds.

The hounds tore it together, forcing the seriously injured wild boar to tilt and fall to the ground, unable to get up again.

Dick only stopped one wild boar, and there were two other wild boars. After a short shock, they became fierce and ran forward like a chariot out of control.

The two pairs of fangs are like sharp iron plows, trying to crush all the obstacles in front of it.

The charged wild boars were fierce, but Joan and Thomas were not intimidated. They finished preparing for casting spells before the two wild boars rushed over, releasing "Sleep" and "Colorful Spray" one after another.

The ferocious and strong wild boar is hard to be knocked down by lethal spells, but the mental level is extremely fragile.

A wild boar was successfully hypnotized by Joan and fell into a deep sleep.

The other wild boar was hit head-on by the colorful light beam sprayed out from Thomas' hand, and its eyes were blinded by the magic light on the spot. It fell to the ground and fell into a daze.

Gunshots sounded in due time.

A lead bullet hit the bottom of the wild boar's ear, blasting a hole the size of a fist, and the blood gushing out of the wound was immediately frozen by the cold magic power contained in the bullet.

Roger quickly reloaded the bullet and locked the gun on the wild boar hypnotized by Joan.

With a bang, the bullet exploded in the wild boar's skull through the ear hole, causing it to stop breathing in its deep sleep.

Wild boars have always been known for their tenacity.

Fearing that the wild boar brought down by the hounds would fight back violently when it was on the verge of death, Roger shot it again, and he was relieved only after confirming that he was dead.

At this time, the other two hunting teams had left to chase the escaped wild boar.

Five bloody wild boar carcasses were left in the bushes, their tails were all cut off, and they were also stamped with the "Secret Mark".

Joan went to check and found that the five wild boars had different secret marks.

Three of them were marked blue and belonged to the team that first spotted the herd.

The remaining two wild boars were stamped with orange marks, apparently the prey of the team that arrived later.

Joan returned to his companion and found that Dick had cut off the tails of the three wild boars they had hunted, and cleaned the three pig tails and put them in a backpack for safekeeping.

Thomas took pictures of the arcane marks on the wild boar carcasses one by one.

The imprint exudes a red magical radiance, and the word "T·C" can be seen faintly, which is the acronym for "Thomas Chap".

"How to deal with the dead boar?"

Dick looked at his companion with some embarrassment.

"How about dragging the prey to the river first, sending these three fat pigs to float downstream, and then turning back to chase other wild boars that fled to the bushes?"

"Forget it, it's too troublesome!"

Thomas waved his hand.

"When we turn back, let alone wild boars, there won't even be a single pig hair left."

"These three pigs, don't worry about throwing them here, we don't lack meat anyway..."

"If it is a rare prey like the 'razor boar', you can cut off the pig's head and put it in a storage bag, and take it back to make a skull specimen as a souvenir."

"Leave it alone here, will it be taken away by someone and pretend to be their own prey?" Roger asked worriedly.

"The 'Secret Mark' cannot be faked, unless the opponent uses spells to erase it, such as the 1st-level 'Erasure' or the 3rd-level 'Dispel'. However, there are four factors that ensure that such cheating will almost never happen."

Thomas stretched out four fingers, and explained to Joan and the Tyndall brothers one by one the reasons why the prey would not be stolen.

"First of all, as a core member of the hunting team, there is no need for the caster to waste precious spell slots just to steal an ordinary wild boar."

"Secondly, even if someone has the crooked idea of ​​stealing prey, he can't explain why his booty lacks only the wild boar's tail."

"Third, the jury of the hunting conference, including several high-level spellcasters from the Leiden Port Arcane Association, will use multiple 'detection crystals' to closely monitor the hunting area during the competition. Once cheating is found, the cheaters will be canceled immediately." qualify for the competition and impose heavy fines."

"Finally, when the game is over and the trophies are counted, the divine spell casters in the judging panel will continue to activate 'see through lies' and 'field of honesty', forcing all contestants to report their hunting results truthfully, and liars and cheaters will not be punished." The possibility of seeing through is almost zero."
