Chapter 160: Hunting the Great Black Pig
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, the most exciting thing Zhong Huan could think of was hunting. Hunting those chickens and ducklings is not difficult for Zhong Huan. But it was a challenge for him to hunt the big game in the cave.
When Zhong Huan found that it was difficult to defeat those large animals, he chose to give up, because he didn't think there was any need to take risks to satisfy his appetite. But now that he has to challenge large prey to find excitement and heal his psychological problems, the risk is worth the risk.
It can be said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, although Zhong Huan plans to take risks, but he has no intention of fighting large prey with his bare hands. Since the last time he found that large animals and fish were difficult to deal with, Zhong Huan had also prepared some fishing and hunting tools in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. He couldn't buy a shotgun, but he could buy a fishing rod, a trap, a knife, and a crossbow. He'd been using the rod for a long time, but he hadn't had time to use anything else, so this time he was just experimenting.
The first prey Zhong Huan chose was a boar. He made a visual inspection, and the weight of this big black pig was six or seven hundred catties, to say the least. Zhong Huan chose a fat pig as his prey, firstly because the danger was slightly lower, and secondly, because he looked at this big black pig very much like Zhu Yiqun.
Because this pig looks like Zhu Yiqun, he has to kill the pig. This reason seems a bit absurd, but it is a very important psychological construction process for Zhong Huan, who is hunting large prey for the first time.
If Zhong Huan was hunted this time to survive, he would not have a psychological burden to kill any animal. But Zhong Huan's purpose of hunting this time was completely to find excitement, which made him a little unable to do it. In order to reduce the guilt in his heart, Zhong Huan had to find a reason for himself to kill, even if it was a ridiculous reason for the big black pig to look like Zhu Yiqun and make himself look unpleasant. With this reason, Zhong Huan can be ruthless and poison the innocent big black pig in the beast breeding cave.
Although the animals in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu were very spiritual, Zhong Huan usually didn't hunt large animals, and those large animals were not hostile to him. So when Zhong Huan approached the big black pig with a bow and crossbow, it didn't react, and was still leisurely eating the vegetables in the field with its nose.
The bow and crossbow in Zhong Huan's hand had a range of 100 meters away, and the effective killing distance was 50 meters, while Zhong Huan was only less than five meters away from the big black pig at the moment. With such a close distance and such a big target, Zhong Huan had no reason to miss at all, so he didn't get close anymore, so as not to scare the big black pig away.
Aiming at the back of the big black pig for a while, Zhong Huan pulled the trigger of the crossbow. A crossbow arrow shot out like lightning and hit the hip of the big black pig. Half of the fifteen-centimeter-long crossbow bolts had gone into the flesh.
"Yay!"
Zhong Huan, who hit the prey, couldn't help but let out a cheer. He found that the hunt really made him mentally focused and nervous. At the moment when the crossbow bolt hit, there was no anxiety or guilt in his mind, only the pleasure of a successful hunt. It seems that this pleasure of hunting other species is the kind of emotion that humans at the top of the food chain should have.
"Whew~~~~~~"
Zhong Huan's pleasure didn't last long, and was interrupted by the sharp and painful cry of the big black pig. The big black pig that was shot by the crossbow arrow did not fall to the ground as Zhong Huan imagined, but after stumbling forward a few steps, he turned around and glared at Zhong Huan viciously with a pair of small eyes.
"~"
Zhong Huan was speechless about the tenacious vitality of the big black pig. It seems that although the power of the crossbow arrow is strong, it is unlikely that it will kill the big black pig with rough skin and thick flesh in one blow, unless it hits the vital point.
Before Zhong Huan put away his bow and crossbow and pulled out the dagger he was carrying, the big black pig had already lowered his head and rushed towards him. If this situation had been encountered before, Zhong Huan would definitely turn around and run. But now he is no longer what he used to be, and Zhong Huan, who has made great progress in kung fu, has enough courage and reaction time to calmly face some unexpected situations without panicking.
The big black pig looks menacing, but after all, there is a crossbow arrow inserted in his hip, which affects the force of his hind legs, and his running movements are a little out of shape, and his speed is slower than usual. If Zhong Huan hadn't practiced kung fu, he might not have been able to see these faint differences, but he had been practicing with Su Ke for so long, and his eyesight had already been trained, and he could judge at a glance that the big black pig was not a big threat to him this time.
Zhong Huan dodged the charge of the big black pig with a very calm flash, and then he took the bow and crossbow on his back, pulled out the dagger on his waist, bowed down, and began to confront the big black pig.
The big black pig obviously didn't know how powerful Zhong Huan was. All it knew was that the strange creature walking upright in front of it had pricked its ass with something, and it hurt itself. So after missing the first blow, the big black pig quickly turned around and launched a second charge at Zhong Huan.
Zhong Huan still saw the opportunity to dodge calmly this time. However, after this dodge, Zhong Huan also counterattacked. The one-foot-long hunting dagger in his hand suddenly stabbed out of the big black pig's side and into its neck, and then quickly drew the knife.
The moment Zhong Huan drew the knife, blood spurted out from the side of the big black pig's neck. Perhaps because Zhong Huan's speed was too fast, the big black pig didn't seem to be bleeding from his neck before he could respond, and he rushed towards Zhong Huan again and launched a third charge.
Due to the violent running, the blood on the neck of the big black pig sprayed more violently, and every time its four hooves stepped on the ground, a bloody arrow would rush out of its neck. The big black pig with an injury to the neck was even slower, so Zhong Huan dodged more calmly, and deliberately dodged to the side of the big black pig that was not injured, and gave the big black pig a knife in the stomach.
After this knife pierced the abdomen of the big black pig, Zhong Huan did not choose to draw the knife quickly, but clenched the dagger hard, and with the momentum of the big black pig, he slashed in the opposite direction, cutting a long wound in the abdomen of the big black pig. This time it killed the big black pig, and the intestines, stomach and other internal organs were all squeezed out of the wound in the abdomen. The further the big black pig runs, the more guts and blood fall to the ground.
When the big black pig stopped, it couldn't turn its head and rush again, but fell to the ground and convulsed. The blood pooled beneath it into a small pool of bright red.
Zhong Huan was relieved to see that the big black pig was dead. He adjusted his breathing, which had become so rapid from nervousness, that he walked over to the corpse of the big black pig and bowed deeply.
This hunting and killing not only gave Zhong Huan's emotions about to get out of control a complete catharsis, but also made him experience the feeling of battle. This feeling of life and death struggle is different from the competition, but it is the same as when Zhong Huan faced the pipe fork stabbed by the gangsters, which was terrifying.
Zhong Huan wanted to thank the big black pig for curing his heart disease with his life, and also thank him for the feeling of fighting it brought to him, and thank him for teaching him the difference between fighting and fighting. So Zhong Huan wants to pay tribute to the big black pig.
