Chapter 278: A Sow Climbs a Tree (Ⅰ)

Joan put away the ferocious wild boar tail, confirmed that there were no wild boar activities nearby, then put away the dagger and returned to his companions.

Thomas was very interested in the ferocious wild boar head cut off by Dick, and proposed to take it away as a souvenir.

Joan dug out a bottle of brown powder from the storage bag, and carefully sprinkled it on the pig's head. When the medicine powder came into contact with the blood, a violent alchemy reaction immediately occurred, and within ten minutes, the flesh and blood were corroded into a pool of pus, leaving only an intact skull.

Joan put away the corrosive powder, took out the "endless water bag", and cleaned the skull of the ferocious wild boar.

Thomas patted him on the shoulder, thanked him, then grabbed the huge white skull and stuffed it into his storage bag, planning to hang the skull on the wall of the dormitory as an ornament when he returned to school.

In just one morning, Qiao An and the others hunted down two waves of wild boars, including 9 common wild boars and 1 ferocious wild boar worth 5 points, and the hunting points reached 17 points.

Judging from the statistical data of previous hunting competitions, it is not easy to get such a high score on the second day of the competition. Among all the participating teams, ranking in the top 20 should not be a problem.

After working hard for most of the day, everyone was very satisfied with the hunting results, and unanimously decided to take a rest in the valley and continue hunting after lunch.

Among the four-member team, three were from rich families who were eager to open their mouths. Joan, who has the most experience in wild survival, and a part-time team chef who is duty-bound, cleared an open space in the valley to place the "campfire rosary", and chanted the activation spell to raise a pile of magical bonfires that hardly produced smoke.

At the same time that Joan was lighting the fire and boiling the water, Thomas and the Tyndall brothers were not idle. They skinned the ferocious wild boar, cut off the two tenderest tenderloins on both sides of the back, and cleaned them according to Joann's instructions. Fist-sized pieces are threaded on branches and baked.

Qiao An skillfully flipped the meat skewers until they were grilled until they were sizzling with fat and fragrance. Finally, he sprinkled a handful of salt mixed with various spices and asked his companions to eat while it was hot.

Thomas and the Tyndall brothers had long been seduced by the aroma of the barbecue and gulped their saliva. After a long time, Joan said it was ready to eat, and rushed up to grab the kebab with strange screams. Regardless of the burning mouth, the mouth was full of oil, and they repeatedly praised the quality of the meat. Tender and delicious, seasoned just right.

Joan himself ate two skewers of barbecue, and cut some raw meat and roasted it as dry food for the next few days.

The rest of the pork was left to the four hounds to eat to their heart's content, and it was impossible to take it all away anyway.

Even the hounds couldn't finish ten mouthfuls of fat pigs, after all, they had to take advantage of the passing beasts and scavengers.

The man and the hound all had a good meal, and then continued on their way.

About half a mile away from the valley, the hounds again found the footprints left by the wild boar.

Qiao An and his party followed the trail, and they found a group of wild boars drinking water by the mountain stream, a total of six wild boars.

A herd of wild boars of this size could no longer pose a threat to everyone.

Joan and Thomas teamed up to release the "sleep technique", and two pairs of six wild boars fell instantly.

The Tyndall brothers cooperated tacitly with melee and long-range shots. They eliminated the two wild boars that escaped the hypnosis within five minutes, and then made up the knife to slaughter the four fat pigs that were still unconscious. From the beginning to the end of the battle, the total lasted Less than ten minutes.

Joan and Thomas cut off the tails of six wild boars, marked the "Secret Magic Mark", and continued on the road afterwards.

According to the map given by the "navigation mirror", everyone decided to walk north along the mountain stream and go to the "red area" marked on the next map.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, and no wild boars were encountered until the sun was westward.

Just when Joan thought that there would be no other prey today, the hunting dog in front of him suddenly turned around and barked.

Hearing the sound of dogs barking, Joan and the others, who were already a little tired, immediately cheered up and ran forward. Sure enough, they found several hoofprints beside the bushes surrounded by hounds. They looked similar to those of wild boars, but the size Much bigger.

"It's the trace left by the ferocious wild boar, and there's more than one!" Roger's face was serious.

"Be careful everyone, we will encounter a tough battle next." Thomas also lost his smile.

Joan touched the spell-casting material package, and said to his companion: "It's still the old rule. I'll scout ahead invisibility. If there's any situation, I'll use the 'message technique' to get in touch."

"Don't you take the hounds?" Dick asked.

Joan thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"The terrain here is flat and there is no place to hide. It is easy to be spotted by wild boars with a dog. It is more convenient for me to move alone." After speaking, he cast a spell to hide himself, and searched along the gurgling mountain stream.

Joan walked not far away, and found many clear pig's hoof prints on the wet muddy ground by the water. Visually, there were probably three ferocious wild boars.

This discovery made him feel a little uneasy.

He had already seen how difficult the ferocious wild boar was this morning. With the strength of myself and my companions, I am sure to deal with two ferocious wild boars, but it is too risky to face three ferocious wild boars at the same time, and it is likely to cause casualties.

Feeling apprehensive, Qiao An walked forward quickly, climbed a hillside, stood in the waist-deep grass and looked down. Sure enough, he saw wild boars wandering by the mountain stream.

There are three ferocious wild boars beside the mountain stream, two males and one female. Among them, the fattest one is the sow, who is lying leisurely on the grass, squinting her eyes, lazily watching the two boars fighting for each other. Fight each other for their favor.

The two boars had sharp tusks, roared at each other non-stop, and sometimes wrestled into a ball. The tusks collided violently with the fat, as if they were fighting for courtship.

Joan knew a little about the habits of wild boars. In order to compete for the right to mate with sows, boars must defeat competitors and drive each other out of their territory, and such conflicts are often protracted.

For Joan and his companions, the safest thing to do at the moment is to wait patiently for the winner of the two boars.

The loser will be driven away, and the winner will also consume a lot of physical strength. When mating with sows next, they will reduce their vigilance against changes in the surrounding environment.

Joan and his companions took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the mating wild boars, and they could hunt them down relatively easily.

However, doing so would mean a long wait, not only a waste of time, but also might arouse the vigilance of the ferocious wild boar, which would be self-defeating.

In addition, Joan was somewhat unwilling to let go of the other boar, and even wanted to try to catch the three ferocious wild boars, the male and the female.

Hiding in the grass and thinking for a while, Joan turned his head and looked at the woods near the meadow. The tall and straight spruce trees were like sentinels, which inspired him.

After making up his mind, he took out a piece of copper wire from his pocket and told his companions what he saw and the hunting plan.

Brothers Thomas and Tyndale were startled to learn of the presence of three dire boars. Then I heard Joan talk about the hunting strategy. At first, I thought it was incredible, but finally agreed to his plan.
