The wild boar king in the valley shook his tail anxiously. He looked around alertly as if he sensed the danger in the air.
Suddenly, the beast form of the beastmen appeared around him, shocking the wild boars into a commotion.
However, the beast forms that usually looked very tall were actually a bit weaker compared to the wild boar king.
A huge one-horned, long-tailed monkey was seen beating his chest and roaring at the wild boar king.
Beside the long-tailed monkey, a gray one-horned wolf was pacing back and forth with his body lowered. His wolf eyes were staring at the wild boar king like sharp swords.
The boar king was enraged. Hot air spurted out of his mouth, and his two hind legs dug into the ground. After a howl, he rushed up with several strong wild boars around him.
The hunting team saw this and cooperated very well. The red fox cried on the hillside. Once some wild boars were enraged and rushed up the hillside, the remaining beastmen immediately rushed into the wild boars that were still there.
They ran among the wild boars, scaring them to run around. The moment the pregnant sow was left alone, several beastmen quickly reversed directions.
The honey badger and brown bear bit the sow fiercely. The beast forms of the remaining few beastmen didn’t have a strong bite force, so they used their bodies to hit the struggling sow.
The sow had nowhere to hide from the beastmen who surrounded her in all directions.
Even though she fought back with her strong body, her movements were limited. Under the fierce attack of the beastmen, it didn’t take long for the sow to scream.
Her hind legs were finally broken. She fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Qi Bai’s nerves were tense as he looked at the valley. He felt a bit relieved seeing that they had successfully completed the plan.
Then the next second, Qi Bai found that the wild boar king, who had been led far away by Lang Ze and Hou Yan, actually knocked down several trees after hearing the sow’s howl and stopped forcibly. He took the wild boars around him and turned around to run back.
At this time, the several beastmen surrounding the sow hadn’t given up because they cooperated much better than expected.
Huan Ping and Xiong Feng had already bitten the sow’s neck, but the wild boar’s skin was very thick and covered with a thick layer of mud. Huan Ping and Xiong Feng couldn’t pierce the wild boar’s throat instantly.
But if they were given a bit more time, they would definitely be able to bite the sow to death.
The situation around them was too chaotic. Several people didn’t realize that the wild boar king had already led the other wild boars back.
Qi Bai turned directly into a human form. He stood on the hillside and shouted loudly, “Go! The wild boar king is back! Go! Don’t worry about the sow!”
Seeing that they couldn’t hear his voice at all, Qi Bai didn’t care about anything else. Once the wild boar king returned, the wild boars wouldn’t be in such a scattered situation as they were now. The beastmen among the boars would be in danger.
Qi Bai rushed directly down the hillside, shouting loudly while running.
Finally, once Qi Bai ran halfway down, Xiang Yu found Qi Bai. He opened his huge elephant mouth and let out a howling sound toward the sky.
This sound was not only heard by the beastmen around the sow, but also by Lang Ze and Hou Yan, who were hundreds of meters away.
“Come back quickly!” Qi Bai didn’t give up shouting.
Everyone knew that something might’ve happened, so Xiong Feng was the first to let go.
However, Huan Ping biting the wild boar was indeed a ruthless person. The moment he bit the food in his mouth, he couldn’t hear anything else. Not to mention the wild boar, he wasn’t afraid at all of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Seeing that Huan Ping was still biting the sow desperately in such an emergency situation and even started to climb onto the sow, Xiang Yu stretched out his long nose and slapped Huan Ping in the face.
Who hit him?
This was the first thought in Huan Ping’s mind at this moment.
However, he woke up immediately. He was a bit fierce, but he wasn’t stupid. He heard Qi Bai’s cry and immediately let go to run after everyone else.
But due to the time he wasted, the wild boar king had already rushed back with great momentum. The moment he saw Huan Ping, he didn’t even think about it and hit Huan Ping, who hadn’t run far, with his head.
The beast form of the beastmen was closely related to their bodies. For example, Xiang Yu’s beast form was naturally much larger than others, while Huan Ping, as a honey badger, was smaller.
Huan Ping was hit by the wild boar king, who was almost two or three times his size. His body flew far away and fell into a haystack. He couldn’t react for a long time.
Fortunately, the wild boar king put all his energy on the injured sow and didn’t continue to chase.
The wild boars chasing Hu Huo also gathered back around after hearing the wild boar king’s cry. The wild boars surrounded the injured sow in an orderly manner.
Qi Bai was the only one who could see Huan Ping’s situation from a high place and felt like his heart had stopped. He saw that the other horned beastmen had already climbed up the stone slope one after another, but Huan Ping still showed no reaction.
Qi Bai couldn’t help sniffing and his eyes misted up.
At this moment, in the haystack, the honey badger stood up in a dazed manner. He shook himself twice. Then like a normal badger, he dug at the ground with four legs and ran quickly.
Qi Bai restrained his expression and swallowed down his emotions.
He was careless. This was a honey badger, a big boss who ate poisonous snakes every day and fought lions alone. What was there to worry about?
The hunting team gathered together again, and everyone was more or less injured. Qi Bai looked at Huan Ping carefully and saw that he only had a scratch on the top of his head. He looked much more energetic than the others.
Hou Yan was angry that Qi Bai didn’t listen to him, but he didn’t say anything because Qi Bai reported the news in advance, allowing the hunting team to stand here intact now.
At this time, Hou Yan glanced around and asked, “Where is Hu Huo?”
Everyone realized that Hu Huo hadn’t come to the gathering.
Qi Bai couldn’t help worrying. Hu Huo hadn’t entered the battle, but Qi Bai had seen many wild boars running towards Hu Huo. Hu Huo’s legs couldn’t run normally. It would be dangerous once the boars caught up with him.
Just as everyone was about to get up to find Hu Huo, a rustling sound came from the forest. Sun Qing and Zhu Ya came out on the left and right side of Hu Huo. Obviously, the two of them didn’t wait in the tribe like Hou Yan told them to.
Zhu Ya saw Hou Yan and tried to shrink into a ball. He was still very scared when he saw Hou Yan.
Hu Huo smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect that I, who didn’t enter the battle, would be the most injured. If it wasn’t for Sun Qing and Zhu Ya helping me lead the wild boars away, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have survived today.”
Qi Bai realized that Sun Qing and Zhu Ya also had some injuries on their bodies.
Hou Yan looked at Sun Qing and Zhu Ya. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t chase them away again.
Ma Ling was still sent to keep watch, but this time, the wild boars were on guard against them. He needed to stay further away.
The first attack attempt failed, but the pregnant sow’s leg was injured. If the wild boars stayed where they were, the beastmen would have a chance to continue attacking. If the wild boars were to leave, the injured sow wouldn’t be able to keep up with the main force, and they would also be able to get the wild boar.
Judging from the reaction of the wild boar king, this group wouldn’t easily give up on the sow. Thus, the beastmen of the Black Mountain Tribe were planning the next attack.
However, this attack caused the wild boars to be on guard. The beastmen might be predators but the creatures in nature had their own survival wisdom. There were too many examples of predators being killed, and the beastmen couldn’t compete with the wild boars in terms of numbers.
At this time, Qi Bai finally put forward his own idea. “We can’t get any benefits from confronting these wild boars head-on. I think we can set some traps.”
The strong strength of the beastmen and their immature life skills meant that most beastmen relied on their absolute strength to hunt, unlike the primitive people on Earth who used traps. Forget about traps, the beastmen rarely even used weapons.
But for a human who transmigrated from Earth, Qi Bai believed that making good use of tools was their magic weapon to win.
Qi Bai’s words confused Hou Yan. “What trap?”
“This is the valley where the wild boars are staying.” Qi Bai picked up a branch and drew on the ground. Then he dug a pit with branches a bit further away. “We can dig some big pits here, or weave some thick straw ropes to lead the wild boars here.”
Qi Bai looked at Hou Yan expectantly. “Once the wild boars fall into the pit, they can no longer climb up. For the wild boars that don’t fall into the deep pit, we can use straw ropes to trip them. At that time, we will have the upper hand and don’t have to be afraid of these wild boars.”
Hou Yan listened carefully to Qi Bai’s analysis and looked at the trap drawn by Qi Bai. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. “This method is feasible!”
“Ma Shu!” Hou Yan shouted.
Ma Shu came out quickly. Hou Yan said, “You stay here with Ma Ling to guard these wild boars. Once they leave, you let Ma Ling continue to follow them and you…”
He originally wanted Ma Shu to report back to the tribe. Then he thought that everyone would have to dig traps today, so he said, “You go to the west of the valley to report. Got it?”
Ma Shu nodded. Then he turned around and went to meet Ma Ling.
Hou Yan took everyone back to the tribe.
Yang Luo was waiting anxiously at the edge of the tribe at this moment. Seeing that everyone came back empty-handed and some were injured, with even a few people missing, he hurried forward to ask, “What happened?”
Hou Yan was in high spirits. He had thought about it briefly on the way. As long as their traps were big and deep enough, perhaps they could hunt the entire herd of wild boars. He hurriedly told Yang Luo about Qi Bai’s idea.
Yang Luo knew that the situation was urgent after hearing it. He only left two people to guard the tribe and called out all the remaining people, young and old.
As everyone was about to leave, Qi Bai saw Sun QIng and Zhu Ya standing there. He quickly said, “Why are you still standing there? Don’t you want to eat wild boar meat? Why don’t you go to work now?”
Sun Qing’s eyes lit up when he heard Qi Bai’s words, but he looked at Yang Luo hesitantly, not daring to move.
Yang Luo heard their conversation but just glanced over casually. He turned around and left without saying a word.
Qi Bai saw that the two of them were still a bit hesitant, so he directly grabbed Sun Qing and said, “Let’s go.”
Sun Qing’s face showed a bit of joy. He hugged Sun Yuan, who had been waiting by his side, nodded heavily, and followed the main group.
As for Zhu Ya, he was completely dependent on Sun Qing now. The moment he saw Sun Qing leave, he also followed with a nervous expression.
