Chapter 80 Tracking the Wild Boar
"Viewers, wild boars have appeared here. I'm going to go take a look." Meng Chao said directly to the camera, and then walked towards the water source.

"See? This is wild boar feces."

"IU said she didn't see the wild boar, nor did she hear any noise. It's very likely that the wild boar came here to drink water while the others were on guard last night."

After saying this, Meng Chao glanced at his watch.

As expected, no one is watching the live broadcast. No wonder the popularity value remains unchanged and is still stuck at over 70,000.

But this does not affect Meng Chao's communication with Paiqiu. After all, it can be edited into a film or short video for promotion.

"From this feces, we can judge that the wild boar may have come from the right. We have not found other feces here before, so it is likely that they do not often move around here."

The water source is on the left, but there is no feces on the left.

Why is it possible?
Because the wild boar may have come from the left and then moved to the right.

Of course, it is also possible that it comes from the right and leaves from the left.

"I'm going to go to the right to take a look at the situation. Wild boars are not easy to deal with, and I'm not prepared to have a conflict with them." After saying that, Meng Chao walked to the right.

The reason why he dared to investigate alone was because the hostility elimination sticker Meng Chao drew yesterday gave him confidence.

If he really encounters this situation, he can also use the hostility elimination sticker to avoid danger.

Soon, Meng Chao reached the edge of the forest.

He tried to find footprints left by wild boars, so that he could judge the direction in which the wild boars left or came from the direction of the footprints.

We kept searching down along the top of the cliff and found the place where they built their shelter, but still didn't see any wild boar footprints.

Either I was careless and didn't notice it, or the ground was not hard enough for the wild boar to leave footprints, or the wild boar might have just made a feint and didn't come from the forest on the right, nor did it leave from the right.

Meng Chao searched again from bottom to top and found several marks that he had not found in the last trip.

"Look, this is the wild boar's footprint. The tip of the hoof is pointing to the right, which means it did leave from the right."

"It looks like this wild boar is quite large. The hoof prints are so big."

As Meng Chao spoke, he used his javelin to push aside the leaves, trying to see if there were more footprints.

The footprints can also be used to determine whether there are many wild boars or just one.

Not finding any other hoof prints, Meng Chao continued exploring forward.

Because the ground was hard, the footprints gradually disappeared and no traces left by the wild boar could be found.

"We can set a trap in this direction. If we can catch a wild boar, we can solve the food problem for a long time."

“Wild boar meat can be smoked and made into bacon.”

Meng Chao made a mark and then returned along the original path.

When they arrived at the water source, they found that Ma Dong-seok and Cai Fankun were both at the location of wild boar feces.

I don’t know whether I woke up on my own or was called.

Ma Dong-seok was holding an engineering shovel and Cai Fankun was holding a machete.

"How is it, have you found any wild boar?" Ma Dongxi seemed a little excited, as if he thought he could catch the wild boar.

"No, the footprints only extend for a certain distance and then they break off at the end," Meng Chao explained.

"What a pity! That's a wild boar. We can definitely catch it if we work together. With the wild boar, we don't have to worry about the rest of our lives." Ma Dong-seok said with regret.

Meng Chao did not complain about Ma Dongxi. It was not surprising that he would underestimate the enemy since he had never dealt with a wild boar before.

It is understandable that these terrifying upright apes had such confidence. After all, they had bows and arrows, axes, machetes, and engineering shovels.

With only one wild boar, the chances of winning are indeed greater with numbers.

But who can guarantee that they won't get hurt in the process? Once they get hurt, it means they have to quit the show.

"Didn't you hear any noise or find anything unusual when you were on guard last night?" Meng Chao glanced at the two of them and asked curiously.

Ma Dongxi immediately said, "No, it was very quiet when I was on guard. There were just some insects chirping, but nothing special."

Cai Fankun shook his head and said, "Me too. If anything happens, I will definitely wake you up."

Meng Chao thought so too. Ma Dongxi might explore it himself, but Cai Fankun would definitely wake everyone up.

"Give me the engineer shovel, I'll deal with the wild boar feces." As he said that, Meng Chao handed his javelin to Ma Dongxi.

Ma Dongxi handed the engineer shovel to Meng Chao with a depressed look on his face. After taking the javelin, he looked towards the jungle, still unwilling to give up.

Meng Chao used an engineering shovel to shovel away the wild boar feces, dug a pit in the woods and buried it directly.

After dealing with the problem, Meng Chao returned to the water source.

Ma Dong-seok and Cai Fankun were brushing their teeth and washing their faces, and Meng Chao also joined them.

The appearance of the wild boar today disrupted his plan. He was supposed to be practicing Vajra Kung and singing at this time.

When I returned to the shelter after washing up, An Yifei had also gotten up and was chatting with Lee Ji-eun about wild boars.

"What happened?" An Yifei looked at Meng Chao with curiosity. In fact, she had guessed something.

"The wild boar has entered the woods on the left and cannot be tracked for the time being. I plan to set a trap for wild boars at the edge of the woods."

Hearing what Meng Chao said, everyone immediately became interested.

"You can also make traps?" Ma Dongxi looked at Meng Chao in surprise, feeling impressed again.

"I know a little, not much, but it's enough to deal with wild boars." Meng Chao said very modestly.

He had read a lot of information before, and now that he had mastered basic woodworking skills, making traps was no longer a problem for him.

"Using traps is the best and safest. We don't even have a hunting rifle, so it's not suitable for a head-on confrontation with wild boars." An Yifei strongly supported Meng Chao's use of traps so that everyone wouldn't have to take risks.

An Yifei knew that wild boars were very dangerous; she had watched some documentaries.

"Why are there wild boars on this deserted island? Is it the program crew's doing again?" Cai Fankun glanced at the ball and felt that the program crew was getting better and better at making trouble and didn't care about their safety at all.

Meng Chao did not respond because there was no point in dwelling on this.

He put down his bow and arrow, ready to continue practicing Vajra Kung Fu.

Breakfast isn’t ready yet, so why not take advantage of this time to gain some experience points and maintain your health.

"Do we still need to go to the beach, or stay and make traps together?" Ma Dongxi took out a bag of jelly from his pocket and unscrewed the lid.

"No, you guys continue to find a way to the beach. We can handle the trap. We can use a simple noose trap. The brown rope is strong enough."

"Wild boars generally don't move during the day, so there's no rush to set the trap." After saying that, Meng Chao walked away.

After getting into position, Meng Chao began to practice Vajra Kung Fu.

"What kind of Kung Fu are you practicing?" Ma Dongxi asked with great curiosity, because he had never seen Vajra Kung Fu.

"Vajra Kung Fu, a health-preserving exercise." Meng Chao explained without stopping the movements.

"You've started practicing health-preserving exercises at such a young age. Isn't it too early?" Ma Dongxi glanced at Meng Chao suspiciously.

"This exercise not only maintains health, but also helps to eliminate diseases and lose weight. I feel that I started practicing it too late." Meng Chao needed to find a reason to lose weight quickly, and Vajra Gong was a suitable choice.

"Really? Then can we practice?" An Yifei immediately became interested.

"Yes, Oppa, can I practice?" Lee Ji-eun was also attracted, her eyes full of anticipation.
