After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.
Chapter 48 The Hunting Plan Failed
At this point, the wild boar herd was less than twenty meters away from the two of them.
"If they come running over here, don't turn back and run in the direction you came from." Jiang Che's gaze remained fixed on the wild boar, without turning his head.
He knew Jiang Yuning couldn't outrun a wild boar, but with him there, he could buy Jiang Yuning a little time to escape.
Jiang Yun Ning could detect a sense of fearlessness in his voice.
She didn't answer, and carefully withdrew her hand from his.
This will make it easier to quickly knock Jiang Che unconscious.
Fortunately, the wild boar didn't continue. After rooting around on the grass for a while, it waddled away with its piglets.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Yun Ning even plopped down on the ground.
Just when Jiang Che thought she was scared, he heard her say, "Let's dig a trap, maybe we can catch a wild boar."
Jiang Che nodded and picked up a shovel to start digging a hole.
Jiang Yun Ning stood guard around the perimeter. When Jiang Che got tired of digging, she took over and continued.
The process went smoothly, and the wild boar did not return.
The pit was dug very deep, enough to ensure that an adult wild boar that fell in could not climb out.
To avoid attracting other wild beasts with the smell of blood, no sharp spikes were buried underneath.
They disguised the traps and continued walking, avoiding the direction the wild boar herd had gone.
Perhaps because we were deep in the mountains, there were many more animals in the forest.
"Look, a roe deer." Jiang Yun Ning said, already drawing his bow and aiming.
With a "whoosh," the arrow flew out and struck the roe deer in the belly.
The roe deer that was shot let out a scream and struggled to escape with its four hooves.
Another arrow pierced the deer's neck. The fleeing deer ran a few more steps before collapsing to the ground.
Jiang Yun Ning turned around and gave Jiang Che, who had delivered the final blow, a thumbs-up with great approval: "As expected, it had to be you."
The two quickly dismembered the roe deer. Jiang Yun Ning grimaced at the bloody scene, but since the original owner of this body knew how to slaughter pigs, she couldn't show her fear.
"Once you're done cleaning up the dirt, I'll go pick some leaves," Jiang Yun Ning said, getting up and finding a plausible excuse.
Wrapping the deer meat in small pieces with leaves can help prevent some of the smell of blood from escaping.
The wrapped venison was quickly placed into the basket.
"I just found a hornet's nest over there, and there are bear tracks underneath," Jiang Yun Ning pointed to a spot not far ahead.
This was something she and Jiang Che had agreed upon; bears were too large for the two of them to dig traps on their own. They would have to use beehives to hunt bears.
At this time of year, bears love to raid beehives for bee pupae to eat.
The two found a tree not far from each other on either side of the hornet's nest. Jiang Yun Ning climbed up the tree directly, while Jiang Che, quicker, hid behind it. The roe deer bone they had just retrieved was placed as bait under the tree near the hornet's nest.
Time passed slowly, and the two waited for a long time before they saw a huge body appear in the woods.
Jiang Yuning hid in a tree and observed the black bear, which was only about three meters tall. At this time, the price of bear bile was naturally not as high as that of a large black bear in winter.
But that's enough for her to build a house.
The black bear strolled leisurely to the foot of the hornet's nest, seemingly very familiar with the path.
Jiang Che had already taken aim and fired an arrow at the honeycomb.
Instantly, a buzzing sound of flapping wings filled the air. A swarm of wasps rushed towards the black bear.
Bears have thick fur, but their heads are thin and vulnerable to attacks from wasps.
Hundreds of wasps attacked the bear's ears and face. The bear, in pain, immediately covered its eyes with its paws and wildly swung its other paw.
Taking advantage of the bear's obstructed vision, Jiang Che aimed at the bear's heart. Whoosh, an arrow shot out.
But at this moment, the bear suddenly stood up and tried to swat away the wasps in front of him.
The arrow pierced its abdomen, and bright red blood soaked its fur.
"Roar!" The injured bear roared in pain, its movements becoming even faster as it entered berserk mode, charging haphazardly at the nearest tree.
The thick tree trunk made a cracking sound as it was smashed open, leaving a large hole.
It was about to run towards Jiang Che's hiding place. With just one swipe of its claw, Jiang Che would be exposed.
Jiang Yun Ning tensed up, and felt as if her heartbeat had stopped for a moment.
She straightened up slightly and quickly fired two arrows at the bear's back. This finally drew its attention.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Che changed his hiding place. Then he fired another arrow, so powerful that the fifty-centimeter-long arrow didn't penetrate two-thirds of the way in.
The bear seemed to realize it had been tricked and lunged straight at Jiang Yun Ning. A tree three meters away from her was snapped in two upon impact.
The falling tree crown hurtled towards the tree where Jiang Yun Ning was, and to survive, she had no choice but to slide down quickly.
The wasps' attack had long been dispersed by the canopy of the first large tree, and the bear was now focused on killing the two humans who had injured him.
As soon as Jiang Yun Ning landed, she ran for her life. She could almost feel the bear's paws brushing past her head, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was exploding right next to her ear.
Fortunately, the trees here are dense, and she can use the distance between the trees to temporarily avoid the bear's attack.
The plan to slowly wear down the bear failed, and Jiang Yun Ning was also in danger while trying to save him. Jiang Che, disregarding everything else, shouted, "Run this way!"
He fired arrows at the bear as if they were free, finally enraging it.
"Roar!" The bear turned around and pounced on Jiang Che.
This time, Jiang Che didn't rush. He waited until the bear was close enough before releasing the taut bowstring.
The arrow pierced the bear's heart. It seemed to realize it was doomed and raised its paw to strike Jiang Che.
Fortunately, Jiang Che was agile and rolled several times to dodge the fatal attack. However, his back was still hit by the bear's paw, and he flew several meters away.
Blood instantly soaked through the clothes.
Jiang Che was in so much pain he almost fainted, and his movements slowed down.
Black Bear's large hand rose again. Knowing he couldn't dodge it, he simply closed his eyes and awaited death.
He only hoped that after he died, Jiang Yuning could take the opportunity to escape.
"Jiang Che!" Jiang Yun Ning's voice was somewhat mournful; at this critical moment of life and death, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Fortunately, the arrow was close enough to hit the bear in the eye, and the extreme pain briefly stopped the bear's attack.
"Roar!" The bear howled in pain, clutching its injured eye.
Jiang Yuning half-dragged, half-pulled Jiang Che to his feet and ran out of the bear's attack range.
Jiang Che gritted his teeth and remained silent, hiding the pain between his furrowed brows.
"Shoot its other eye." Jiang Yuning supported him. "It will become more agitated after losing its sight. The faster you move, the faster its blood circulation will be."
The bear's heart was already ruptured; the faster it moved, the faster it would die.
Jiang Che nodded, nocked the arrow, and drew his bow. It seemed he had used up all his remaining strength.
With another roar, the bear completely lost its sight and began attacking everything around it indiscriminately.
Using the sound of breaking trees as cover, Jiang Yun Ning practically dragged Jiang Che away.
"Damn it!" she cried, both anxious and frightened, resorting to profanity to bolster her courage. "Why isn't it dead yet!"
If the bear doesn't die soon, it will be her and Jiang Che who die.
"Put me down, and you can still live." Blood was already seeping from the corner of Jiang Che's mouth.
Although I dodged that fatal attack, I still feel like my internal organs have been smashed apart.
"Shut up." Jiang Yun Ning gritted her teeth, almost using all her strength.
