This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 69 - 64: Hunting Wild Boar

After the winter hunt, although the weather still remained cold, the people of the Vine Tribe slowly calmed down with relatively adequate food supplies, no longer fearing starvation.

In the following days, Jing Jie led the relatively strong Wanderers, following Jiang Xuan’s methods, to continue fishing and bird-catching, occasionally capturing some small prey.

As for the real members of the Vine Tribe, under the leadership of Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, were divided into two groups, braving the heavy snow every day to take turns hunting in the nearby jungle.

The reason for doing so was not just for food but also to maximize the combat abilities of the new Warriors.

The Vine Tribe’s current situation was not safe; their luck couldn’t be good all the time, and sooner or later they would need to rely on their own strength to fight enemies.

For the tribe members, the fastest way to enhance combat strength is to go hunting directly.

Hunting tests not only the Warrior’s physical strength but also patience, observational skills, archery, trap setting, fighting skills, and various comprehensive abilities.

Of course, the jungle is dangerous, and so is hunting. Even experienced Warriors can lose their lives with a slight mistake.

Only the Warriors who survive hunting time and time again can become the true backbone of the tribe.

The tribe’s elimination rule is so cruel and helpless.

"Snort snort..."

In the snowy Primitive Jungle, three boars that had been hungry for many days trudged through the snow, leaving behind several messy footprints.

They occasionally used their snouts to nudge aside the snow, using sharp tusks to break hard ice in search of grass roots or plant tubers to eat.

These boars were draped in thick black bristles on their backs, and were huge in size; each boar weighed over a thousand pounds, with long and sharp tusks, making them intimidating.

Their skin was rough and thick, usually enjoying scratching against trees, resulting in a thick layer of grease forming on the surface, resembling a hard armor, with very high defense properties, and paired with tusks making them a combined force of offense and defense.

Primitive weapons such as bows, long spears, short spears, and Stone Knives would hardly harm them unless they hit critical points like the eyes; otherwise, it would only provoke their aggression to chase and bite people.

Many times, tribe members would rather provoke solitary tigers or leopards than a group of boars with a violent temper.

However, there are always exceptions.

If a Hunting Team has Warriors with more than two colors, hunting boars becomes a better option.

Because there are so many parts of a boar that can be eaten and utilized, the reward is very rich if the hunt succeeds.

Jiang Xuan had his sights set on these three boars because he himself was now a two-color Warrior, theoretically possessing the ability to hunt a boar alone.

Moreover, Gou Teng next to him was also a two-color Warrior, with six One-Color Warriors on their side to handle three boars should be no problem.

Jiang Xuan led eight Warriors hiding behind the bushes, staring at the three boars who were foraging, their eyes glowing with excitement.

Jiang Xuan whispered, "Usually, boars travel in groups and can’t be acted upon, but now, it’s hard to find three of them alone, we can’t let them escape."

"We have many people, and now the snow is thick; the boars have been hungry for so long, our chances are great."

"If we successfully hunt, these three big boars will be enough to feed our entire tribe for a while, and those tusks can be made into sharp Tooth Knives."

"However, let me remind you, boars are vicious, and once injured, they become even more aggressive, so later, you must strictly follow my orders, do you understand?"

Gou Teng and others nodded repeatedly, in fact they were all hunting boars for the first time, feeling very nervous, and it’s unlikely they’d act on their own, alone.

Jiang Xuan pointed to a dense forest not far away and said, "Later, Gou Teng and I will go first to provoke them, draw the boars into that patch of woods."

"Others are responsible for setting seven trip ropes, using long ropes, tie one end to a tree, loop it around the tree half way, hold the rope end, and when a boar runs onto the rope-covered ground, immediately lift the rope to trip the boar!"

"Once the boar is tripped, Gou Teng and I can seek opportunities to kill at least one or two!"

"There’s also one thing everyone should pay attention to, which is to choose a good climbable and sturdy big tree in advance, in case of danger, you can climb the tree to save your life."

With a serious expression, Jiang Xuan said: "Remember, after choosing a big tree, you must try climbing it first to avoid unforeseen circumstances."

"Also, don’t get too close to the boars if possible; if there’s a chance, try using long or short spears to throw and aim at the boar’s vital spots."

Everyone nodded, involving life matters, no one dared to be careless.

"Alright, let’s begin."

Jiang Xuan led seven people quietly into the selected woods, and then began looking for trees and suitable trap positions.

They picked their own trees and tried climbing them to ensure they could climb up, then followed Jiang Xuan’s request to set up a series of seven tripping ropes.

As the trees in this grove were quite dense, with short spacing, there were still plenty of strong Tree Bark Rope left after setting up seven ropes.

Jiang Xuan asked them to place a few fixed trip ropes before and after the seven active ropes, close to the snow, to increase the chance of tripping the boars.

Once everything was done, Jiang Xuan carefully inspected again, only feeling slightly relieved after not finding any issues.

The Vine Tribe was too weak, each Warrior was precious, as a leader, he didn’t want anyone to perish during hunting.

Jiang Xuan licked his dry lips and said, "Alright, now let’s bait the three boars over."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and led Gou Teng toward the boars’ location.

At that moment, the three boars were still desperately nudging the snow and soil, looking for food, unaware that they were being watched.

Jiang Xuan, leading Gou Teng, carefully came to the rear of the three boars, hiding behind the thick tree trunks.

Jiang Xuan cautiously peeked at the three boars, pondered for a moment, then whispered to Gou Teng: "The distance isn’t far, use short spears, aim at their backs and throw."

The reason for not using bows and arrows was because Jiang Xuan wasn’t confident in precisely hitting a boar’s vital spot, whereas at short distances, short spears were more handy and accurate.

If Shi Qiu were here, Jiang Xuan would suggest bow and arrow, because Shi Qiu’s archery was better than anyone else in the Vine Tribe; it was a talent others envied but could not replicate.

Gou Teng nodded, then pulled out a straight short spear and a Spear Thrower.

The Spear Thrower was essentially a flat piece of wood, with a barb at the end to hold the spear’s butt, and a small Beast Bone bracket at the front to hold the spear parallel to the butt.

This was something Jiang Xuan created, with a simple structure, just needing to find a suitable branch to polish, then stick the bone bracket onto it with tree resin or Fish Swim Bladder Glue.

Although simple, using a Spear Thrower greatly boosted the accuracy and power of throwing a short spear compared to not using it.

"You spear the one on the left, I’ll spear the one on the right."

"Get ready."

Jiang Xuan also pulled out his carefully crafted short spear and mounted it on the Spear Thrower, making a throwing stance.

"Throw!"

Jiang Xuan roared softly and swung his Spear Thrower, throwing the short spear straight towards the right boar’s hindquarters.

"Woosh woosh!"

Two short spears flew towards the two boars on the left and right, piercing their weaker defense areas at the hindquarters. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Jiang Xuan’s short spear, whether by luck or precision, managed to pierce through the right boar’s rear.

"Oink!"

The boar let out a shrill scream, its body hunched in pain from its rear.

The left boar was also pierced by Gou Teng’s spear, but having struck the meaty hindquarter, didn’t suffer as much damage.

After the two boars were injured, they turned around and immediately saw Jiang Xuan and Gou Teng still holding the Spear Throwers.

The two large boars’ eyes turned red, not running away, but ferociously charging together with the uninjured boar towards Jiang Xuan and Gou Teng.

The boar pierced in the rear kept arching its back while running, the pain was simply too intense.

The more it was, the more frenzied it became, charging madly.

"Go!"

Jiang Xuan immediately retreated with Gou Teng following the predetermined path, quickly diving into the woods and finding the tree with trap ropes, then scrambled up.

The three big boars charged into the woods without hesitation, unaware that a dead end awaited them.
