Chapter 002: (Hunting Wild Boar)
The sky gradually lit up, and at this time, it seemed that someone had smeared a layer of pink on the pale cyan sky, and countless golden lights were hidden under the pink.
Autumn has arrived, and the mountains and forests have a mature hue that looks lush, rich and deep.
This forest is a huge green harp, dancing everywhere with the melody of the symphony of life: the gentle birdsong, the fragrant lily of the valley, the fluttering butterflies, and the mushrooms on the grass hold up thousands of small umbrellas.
The staggered branches of the trees, the uneven dome and the turquoise clouds that stretched out luxuriantly like trembling leaves, stopped in the clear blue sky.
On the path of the woods, a young man in a hunting suit and a stocky man with a longbow were chasing their prey, and this prey was no small - a boar as big as a small bull and two sharp fangs.
Iris, who also carried a hunting bow on his back, followed closely behind the Virgians through the woods, this was his first time hunting, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and the object of the hunt was still a very dangerous animal. For this hunt, he had not bathed for several days.
Because Tormond, the 'giant's nemesis), told him that wild boars have a keen sense of smell, that they can use their noses to tell the ripeness of their food, and that they can even search for a walnut buried under six feet of snow. Males can also use their sense of smell to determine where females are.
Wild boars are extremely valuable and are often the preferred prey of hunters. Therefore, when hunting, the hunters do not bathe for several days, so as not to be detected by wild boars. They used hunting dogs to locate the wild boars, drove them out of the dense forest, and killed them with bows and arrows or well-laid traps.
Wild boars are a lot like domestic pigs. But with a small belly and long feet, brown hair, and long teeth, its weight can reach two or three hundred catties. It can even fight tigers and bears, and often walks in groups. It can sweep pine resin, roll mud and sand all over the body to resist arrows. Wild boars are the most damaging to crops and also eat snakes.
In order to prevent human hunting, wild boars sometimes attack people, but they strictly abide by the principle of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", when attacked by humans, the injured wild boars will attack humans frantically, and the scene will also be terrifying.
"You'll climb the tree later," Tormund whispered as his eyes searched around. "If you see a wild boar running out of the forest, shoot it with an arrow. β
"I'm not going to climb a tree," Iris retorted childishly. "I'm right behind you. He thought it was cowardly and cowardly to climb a tree, so he didn't want to be underestimated by the beard in front of him.
After more than a month of hard training, Iris's arm strength has increased significantly, and after staying with the Virgian for a long time, his courage is much greater than before. The Virgian archer had recently taught him how to use a bow and arrow, much to Edward's displeasure.
Upon receiving the crows flying from Harlan Gosburg, Edward immediately reorganized his Third Banner Battalion, and the armaments and material baggage were prepared within two days. At this moment, he had led a thousand knights to follow the southern expedition army through the Rochester Bridge and into the territory of the Duchy of Rodok.
After Edward's departure, the burden of training Iris naturally fell to the Giant Buster. However, instead of teaching Iris swordsmanship and riding like the Edward Knights, Tormund taught him how to hunt, set traps, search for prey, bow and arrow, and other skills.
"Wild boars are no ordinary prey, they are swift, fast, and vigilant," Tormund reminded him in a rough voice. "When in danger, their manes stand upside down and attack their enemies with their fangs. β
"Then we can just shoot them before they attack!" Iris had a simple idea. And his archery practice is also good, every time he shoots at the target, he can accurately hit the target.
"They're mostly in groups, and it's common to see groups of 4-10 heads," Giant Buster deliberately emphasized. "If you run into a large group, a group of 20-30 people is the most dangerous and terrifying. β
Iris was unmoved, and swore an oath: "It's just a herd of pigs, there's nothing to be afraid of." β
"A herd of wild boars, a herd of wild boars with fangs," the Vigian added repeatedly and deliberately. "A flock of fanged and ferocious wild boars. β
"It's still a herd of pigs. Iris insisted.
"Boy, you'll know what these boars are capable of later!" Tormond pointed pointedly. "You'd better climb up the tree now, and don't blame me for not warning you then. β
"I won't be frightened by your words, let alone a pack of pigs. Iris retorted with a straight face, and asked deliberately, "Bearded, did you bring me to hunt, or did you bring me to climb trees?"
"Whisper to me!" Tormund roared with a frown. "Stop yelling here. β
"Who made you irritate me!" Iris retorted again.
The wild boar is an ordinary, but unpredictable, animal that usually does not come out and move around during the day. Generally foraging in the morning and at dusk, and entering the dense forest at noon to avoid the sun, most wild boars move in groups. Wild boars like to bathe in muddy water.
Wild boars are not only clever, but also very intelligent, some wild boars are afraid of being discovered by natural predators, and often gather together by rivers, lakes and ponds, sleeping on the sandbanks in the river, so that when they encounter danger, they will immediately cross the river, leaving no smell, which can ensure safety.
Iris and Tormund walked through the dense woods, and sure enough, they found a herd of wild boars by a small river. It's just that the number of this group is too large, and there are more than fifty wild boars gathered together, and these wild boars are not idle, but are fighting with each other for the right to mate.
Other wild boars rub the sides of their bodies on tree stumps, rocks, and hard river banks, so that they grind their skin into a hard protective layer that can avoid serious injuries during the fight in heat. At the same time, wild boars will also coat their manes and skins with coagulated pine resin.
Iris crouched in the grass, his eyes curious and amazed at what he saw: he saw a large boar as strong as a large bull, a giant beast with a head and feet two meters long, a black boar with bristles and protruding cheeks and two sharp fangs.
"Bearded," Iris asked in a low voice, crouched to the side. "Have you ever seen a wild boar this big?"
Tormund lowered his voice and explained to the boy beside him, "The beast is the Boar King, and it is the leader of the herd. He then turned to mocking. "Now Zhilu Dao is scared?"
Iris ignored the other man's taunt, he was used to the way the Virgians spoke. He lied, "I'm not afraid!" The big boy was a little flustered, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said, "Then what should we do now?"
"Wait! Wait!"
"When?" asked Iris in a whisper.
"When the sun goes down," Tormund replied, turning around. "By then, most of the wild boars will come out to feed, and we are hunting the king boar at that time. β
"It's not yet noon, and you're telling me to wait until dusk?" replied Iris, impatiently. "Why don't we do it now, as long as we shoot the boar king, the other wild boars will naturally be scared away. "With such a big target in front of him, he was confident that he could shoot it.
Tormund asked him in a teasing tone, "What are you going to shoot the huge boar king with?"
"With the bow and arrows and arrows in my hand. Iris blurted out.
"Do you think an ordinary arrow can easily kill a boar king with thick skin?" said the giant nemesis, still teasing with an unchanging face. "Then you are too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve. β
"One won't work, I have a second, three-"
"βI'm afraid that before your second arrow has been fired, the Boar King has already rushed over and knocked you away. β
No matter how much the other party mocked him, he was as indifferent as a reef in the sea. "Then tell me, what can I do to kill that boar king?"
"The best way to do this is to slit its throat with a sharp dagger. Tormund whispered back to him.
"That's impossible," Iris retorted, objecting. "It will find out to us before we get close to it. Although he seemed a little excited, he made a quiet noise, for fear of disturbing the wild boar herd by the creek.
"That's why we have to wait until it gets dark," Tormund lowered his voice. "When the boar king fell asleep, he quietly approached it, and then killed it with a dagger. β
"Even if we succeeded, we wasted precious time. Iris retorted unconvinced.
Tormund patiently said to the boy, "Boy, if you want to be a good hunter, you must first have enough patience and perseverance. This is one of the phrases that Virginia used to say to his father when he was a child when he took him hunting.
"There's also a thirst for prey," Iris added. "As well as the mastery of prey habits and hunting skills, and at the very least, a complete set of hunting equipment, so that you can be considered an excellent hunter. β
Tormond's gaze fell on Iris, a look of approval in his eyes. "You're smart, you know a lot of knowledge, and you're a fast learner, but you just don't have ...... Patience and perseverance. β
When faced with the bearded compliment, Elaston became a little red-faced and embarrassed.
"Boy, sometimes you feel lucky. Tormond whispered. "Like today, it's an amazing species that is so huge that few people have ever witnessed its existence. β
"Lucky?" Iris disagreed. "Are you sure you're using the wrong word?"
"Isn't it lucky to be able to witness such a big boar king with your own eyes?"
Iris lowered his head and said nothing, crouching quietly in the jungle to observe the herd of wild boars by the small river opposite. I thought to myself: this bearded man is really a weirdo.
