This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 70 - 65: Fearless and Intrepid

"Ho ho ho..."

The three wild boars made threatening sounds from their throats. Despite the deep snow, they ran swiftly.

The leading wild boar was running when its hoof suddenly got caught by a rope, causing its body to lose balance and crash to the ground.

However, it quickly twisted its body and got back up, wasting no time.

The other two wild boars were smarter. Seeing the one ahead trip, they leapt over the rope and continued forward.

"Whoosh!"

The second wild boar charged forward. The Vine Tribe warrior responsible for the first trip rope timed it perfectly, suddenly lifting the trip rope just as the boar was about to pass.

This rope was much higher than the fixed rope, and the warrior had first taken a turn around a nearby tree, using the friction of the tree.

"Boom!"

The running boar screamed miserably, then fell heavily to the ground, creating a big pit in the snowy ground.

"Swish!"

Jiang Xuan on the tree seized the moment as the boar rolled, raising a short spear and using a spear thrower to fiercely launch it toward the boar’s neck.

"Thud!"

With Jiang Xuan’s immense strength and the support of the spear thrower, the sharp-tipped short spear pierced the boar’s neck from the side.

The big boar let out a shrill scream, its tongue sticking out, and stumbled up, trying to run forward with the short spear, then was tripped by the suddenly lifted second trip rope.

In such freezing weather, having suffered such a grave wound, there was no way for the boar to survive.

Among the other two boars, one still had a short spear embedded in its rump, which was also thrown by Jiang Xuan. After being caught by two to three trip ropes, it was pierced by the short spears thrown by several warriors simultaneously, bleeding profusely and staggering.

Ironically, the fastest-running boar, having been tripped initially, hadn’t suffered much damage. Seeing the tragic plight of its two fellow boars, it realized the situation was grim.

The boar finally showed fear in its eyes, deciding not to move forward but instead tried to turn and flee.

"Gou Teng, go!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan finally didn’t hesitate any longer.

He and Gou Teng were both dual-colored warriors, theoretically capable of individually hunting a wild boar. Could the two of them together not handle one boar?

"Crash!"

Jiang Xuan grabbed onto a vine hanging from a large tree, kicked his legs, and swung to the front of the boar.

"Thud!"

Jiang Xuan let go of the vine and landed directly.

"Ho ho..."

The boar, seeing the way forward blocked by just one person, became agitated again.

White steam puffed from the boar’s nostrils as it leapt up, with its massive body hurtling towards Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan could even feel the sharp tusks bringing intense danger.

Without time to think, he rolled away like a lazy donkey, dodging the boar’s savage charge as swiftly as possible.

As for the imagined scenario many people have where one slides under the flying boar and pierces its belly with a bone spear — he couldn’t pull it off.

Because sliding under it is impractical.

Firstly, when the boar jumps, it doesn’t leap high, and its head lowers with sharp tusks forward. Before sliding, you’d either be crushed by its sturdy hooves or stabbed by its tusks, with no other outcomes possible.

Thus, using a donkey roll to avoid the collision was the wisest choice.

It looked a bit ungainly but was effective for survival.

While Jiang Xuan dodged the boar, Gou Teng swung over from the tree branch, landing and gripping his long spear, stabbing fiercely at the boar’s rump.

Yes, stabbing the rump again...

The boar had few weak points. The easiest targets with higher hit rates were only the eyes and rump.

"Roar!"

As expected, the boar’s rump, unable to turn in time, got pierced, causing it to scream and stumble forward a couple of steps before turning to gaze at Gou Teng.

At this point, the wound drove the boar mad. Its eyes turned bloodshot and crimson, forgetting to flee.

"Zap!"

As the boar’s attention was drawn by Gou Teng, Jiang Xuan seized the opportunity, viciously thrusting a bone spear through its belly and pulling it out.

Blood dripped on the snowy ground, starkly red.

The wild boar completely lost its mind, recklessly charging at Gou Teng, with a momentum as if it was going for a mutual destruction.

Facing the frenzied wild boar due to its injury, that terrifying oppressive feeling could make a normal person’s mind go blank, even standing there dumbfounded out of fear.

Even though Gou Teng had some hunting experience, it was his first time encountering such a situation, and a sense of fear involuntarily rose in his heart.

"Dodge!"

Jiang Xuan saw Gou Teng’s state and knew it was bad. He shouted hoarsely.

Jiang Xuan’s voice finally brought Gou Teng back to his senses. By now, the boar was already close to him, the danger right in front.

At the critical moment, the hunting instincts ingrained in the tribe’s people took effect.

Gou Teng used all his strength, curled and kicked his legs, his whole body lunging to the right side, narrowly avoiding the wild boar charging at him.

The boar didn’t hit anyone, and after running a certain distance forward, it turned its head again and launched another charge.

"Up the tree!"

By then, Jiang Xuan had already run over. He grabbed Gou Teng’s beast hide clothing, using brute force to lift his whole body, then threw him beside a big tree.

Gou Teng wasn’t stupid. He knew his state wasn’t good, quickly climbing up the big tree using both hands and feet.

On the ground, Jiang Xuan rolled like a lazy donkey, dodging the charging boar, and then calmly held the bone spear, continuously maneuvering with the boar on the ground.

As the saying goes, ’Strike while the iron is hot, then weakening, then exhaustion.’

This boar was severely injured and after running back and forth a few times, its momentum and speed were no longer as fierce as before.

Jiang Xuan became increasingly calm, occasionally finding the right opportunity to stab the wild boar fiercely with the bone spear, leaving a bloody hole on the boar’s body.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

The sound of the boar’s breathing became weaker and weaker, even unable to stand steadily.

"Lie down!"

Jiang Xuan found the right opportunity and thrust the bone spear fiercely into the side of the boar’s neck, piercing its main artery.

Blood flowed out rapidly, staining the tip of the bone spear red. The large wild boar finally couldn’t hold on, collapsed with a boom, unable to make an effective attack anymore.

Jiang Xuan pulled out the bone spear and glanced towards the forest, where the other two severely injured wild boars had already been slaughtered by six other warriors working together.

Jiang Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief, temporarily not needing to worry about encountering further danger.

During the intensely tense fight just now, he only felt his blood boiling. Now that he stopped, fatigue surged in like a tide.

"Now I understand why the old hunters have the saying, ’One boar, two bears, three tigers.’

Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly, even though he thought he had prepared quite a lot, he still underestimated the terror of such creatures.

Gou Teng climbed down from the tree, first checking the wild boar on the ground, then standing in front of Jiang Xuan, full of shame.

"Leader, I’m useless..." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Jiang Xuan shook his head, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don’t blame yourself. It’s my fault I couldn’t control myself, jumping down from the tree with you in a hot-headed moment."

"No warrior is born so mighty and brave. Only by facing such dangers directly can one handle similar situations better in the future."

Although Jiang Xuan said this, Gou Teng still felt very uncomfortable because if it weren’t for Jiang Xuan, he might have already been dead.

Jiang Xuan continued, "No matter what, the hunting result this time is good, everyone is safe and sound, and the three big wild boars didn’t get away."

"Don’t think too much, go make three sledges together with the other warriors, let’s drag these three wild boars back."

Because the three wild boars were too large and the snow was so thick, it was very difficult to lift them directly back. Jiang Xuan decided to make three sled-like frames, using the snow to drag them back.

Before long, under Jiang Xuan’s guidance, everyone used branches and vines, and ropes, to make three sled-like frames, tying the three big wild boars on them.

Afterward, they either pulled or lifted, arduously carrying the three big wild boars back.

Even though the journey was tough, everyone was happy because the hunting harvest this time was enormous.

Only Gou Teng remained sullen, his mind occasionally flashing back to the image of the injured wild boar charging at him.

In this situation, Jiang Xuan didn’t have a good way to comfort him either, leaving it to him to overcome this psychological shadow himself.

If he ultimately overcomes this shadow, he will surely become a very strong and brave warrior in the future.

If he can’t overcome it, he might become overly cautious, tough to be of great use in the future.

The way back took them a whole day and a half, even spending a night in the snow.

Fortunately, it was winter, and the surface of the wild boars was covered with a layer of snow, so the smell wouldn’t drift far.

The predatory beasts weren’t very active, making it safer to spend the night in the jungle at such times than usual.

When they returned to the Vine Tribe, the three big wild boars prompted continuous cheers from the tribespeople, and the warriors returning from the hunt were regarded as heroes.
