[18] Ferocious wild boar
Drunken Moon spent the day digging the cave, using a sharpened twig that pierced into the ground like a shovel, and then turned the soil out little by little, piling it up on both sides.
"It's a lot of work to dig a cave, and I envy the rodents with their sharp claws and good at digging, but I'm a higher creature who can use tools. Drunken Moon nodded in satisfaction and looked at the cave that had been dug.
The mouth of the earth cave faces south, so there is no cold north wind, and it is about 1 meter deep from the ground, with an area of about 2 square meters, and the volume in the cave can hold a dresser, which is very empty for a 1.5-meter snake.
It's a very simple and warm hole, and the drunken moon puts some large leaves and tough vines in the hole, which is a warm mattress, and the small insects hidden in the leaves will be dealt with when they come back.
“…… Well, the next thing is to eat a full meal, and then hide in the cave for the winter, and you can spend the whole winter in the warm cave without worry. Drunken Moon spat out the breath of the letter in pursuit of the prey.
She was ready to go hunting, looking for a suitable prey, a food that would sustain her all winter.
"Hmm, what kind of smell is that, stinky ......" Drunken Moon, who was searching for food, felt an ominous wind blowing in his face, and spit out the snake letter in a nervous manner, and couldn't help frowning.
"Is it the breath of a wild boar? I didn't even notice it earlier, it's so negligent, unlucky, unlucky!" She looked at the hidden black giant in the jungle dozens of meters away, exuding a dangerous aura like a black grim reaper.
The average body length of wild boars is 1.5-2 meters, the height of the shoulders is about 90 cm, and the weight is 90-200 kg. The coat is dark brown or black, and white hairs grow on the back of the elderly. The piglets have a light brown coat with black stripes. It has a long, stiff mane on its back. The hairs are coarse and thin, and the hairs will grow denser in winter.
Male wild boars have two pairs of growing canine teeth that can be used as weapons or digging tools, with canine teeth averaging 6 cm long, 3 of which are exposed outside the mouth. Female wild boars have shorter canine teeth that do not show out of their mouths, but they also have a certain lethality.
Domestic pigs, one of the main sources of meat for humans today, were also domesticated from wild boars 8,000 years ago. Wild boars not only look very different from domestic pigs, they also grow much slower and weigh much more than domestic pigs.
But don't compare a ferocious wild boar with a docile domestic pig. They are so powerful that they can knock down trees. The hair is covered with layers of sediment and pine gum, and the fat is several centimeters thick, some of which even a hunter's shotgun can't penetrate. The speed of the charge is very fast, faster than that of a human sprinter. With a combination of attack, defense, and speed, it's a mobile tank!
Proverbs such as "when a wild boar is furious, a leopard trembles three times" and "one pig, two bears and three tigers" indicate that wild boars pose the greatest threat to hunters.
Hunters are very nervous about their skin that can't be hit by bullets, and adult male wild boars have basically no natural predators in nature except humans, and it is difficult to resist its rampage without vigorous skills.
The wild boar in front of Zuiyue is 1.7 meters long and 1 meter tall, with a sturdy physique larger than an orangutan, black hair with a shining luster, a strong physique, and fangs as sharp as a knife. This is a healthy adult male wild boar, and a behemoth.
Wild boars are omnivorous and will eat whatever they can, especially during the winter months when food is scarce.
The wild boar's eyesight is not good, but its sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a dog, and its hearing is also very good, it raised its head slightly, and its ominous eyes fell on the bushes hidden by the drunken moon, as if it had discovered her secretly observing.
It turned its head, swiped its hooves, and rushed in the direction of the drunken moon.
"Oops!" Drunken Moon turned on the cheetah mark to speed up, and hurriedly climbed to a small tree next to it, and the wild boar actually hit the small tree straight, shaking violently, making Drunken Moon's center of gravity unstable and falling.
As soon as the drunken moon landed, she slammed her tail on the ground, and her body catapulted out, coiling up to another tree in an instant.
It is difficult for ordinary pythons to do this, but the drunken moon, which regularly exercises its tail, has a high amount of exercise, has a slender and athletic body, and has a lot of practice, has excellent strength and explosiveness. However, this kind of bounce is a great physical drain on the drunken moon, and it is a little difficult to use it continuously.
The boar shook its huge, hideous head and crashed into another tree, this time the drunken moon wrapped its body tightly around the branch so that it did not fall.
The wild boar howled, and violently exerted force against the trunk of the tree, and the whole tree shook and tilted more and more uneasily, and the thick trunk like a bowl mouth was actually pushed down by this strange force!
"Where the hell did it get its strength!" Drunken Moon immediately slid down following the trend of the trees falling, twisting her body and running on the dead ground.
But snakes are slow-moving animals, and on land they are no match for wild boars, which raise their hooves and rush across like a car.
"The boar has bad eyesight and goes berserk easily, and the rough terrain here can also hinder its movement, and then there is the ...... ahead" Seeing the raised rock in front of her, the tip of her tail is a little ground, she soars into the air and jumps over the rock. The boar behind rushed at him, tripped over the raised rock, and rolled over a few times before stopping.
But the boar didn't seem to care about the injury, and with a kick of its hooves, it stood up again, its red eyes staring at the guarded drunken moon coiled not far away.
I'm sure I'll be killed in an instant with the addition of the Cheetah Mark's 30% speed and the Fox Mark's 30% action speed, and then fight a war of attrition with the help of my recovering body.
However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and the two sides stalemate for several rounds, the terrain gradually flattened, and the wild boar charging like a train was unhindered, and it was difficult for Zuiyue to avoid the attack of the wild boar.
"Is it a boar or a car......?"
In a desperate gamble, she slipped the bottom of her belly in the direction of the boar's run, and narrowly brushed against the boar's powerful hooves.
"Hurry up and swim to the river, it won't be able to do anything when you get into the water!" Remembering that this place was not far from the riverbank, Zuizuki ran towards the river at full speed, winding all the way, making it difficult for the wild boar, which could only rampage and had poor maneuverability, to drive at high speeds.
