Chapter 25: Orion's Survival
Following the canopy of the trees, Bell quickly led Anelsa to a new clearing, this time less fortunate than before, the clearing belonged to a herd of boars.
Although he had forgotten to carry his bow and arrows when he came out of Koning, he didn't have to use them to hunt boars. Of course, it is not very easy to deal with the six boars in front of him with a bow and arrow, according to Bell's words, the boar has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is tenacious, and it is not an experienced hunter, so it is difficult to use a bow and arrow to succeed.
Coupled with its extremely explosive power, it is basically difficult to dodge a charge launched at a distance of about twenty or thirty meters from the target. Especially the two upward-growing fangs in their mouths that can easily pierce through your body.
"Hey, it's a pity that this new dress is going to get blood again......" Anesa drew her long sword from her waist, ready to slash and slash over.
Bell waved his hand, "No, no, it's not that you have to be in close combat, remember the trap I used yesterday? ”
I wanted to say that it was the guy who was punctured in the lower body, but when the words came to my mouth, I felt that it was not appropriate, and when I peeked at An Esha's expression, it seemed that there was nothing unusual, and my tone changed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of these guys." ”
Anelsa rubbed her nose and pretended not to understand what Bell said, "Can you do you any favor with me?"
"Well, you come with me! We've got to make some strong spikes. Bell quietly withdrew with Annetha.
Bell cut some of the thicker branches from the tree and sharpened them with a dagger, and Annesha helped to get some fresh bark.
Bell twisted the fresh bark into simple ropes, fastened the bark ropes with small stakes in a place near the boar herd, and stuck the sharpened spikes diagonally into the ground of the bushes.
Letting Anesa retreat to a safe position, Bell smiled smugly, "There is wild boar to eat tonight!"
Bell clutched three unused spikes in his hand, crouched in the grass and aimed at the boar's position, and threw it with all his might! One spike flew out with a whizz, poof! The spike stabbed the boar's back!
If the spike of the ordinary prey Bell goes down, it will be almost injured, but the skin of the boar is rough and thick, and the spike only penetrates into it for two points and loses its strength. But that's enough to infuriate the boar!
The painful boar quickly locked onto the grass in the clearing, panting heavily, ready to charge at any time. Seeing that the time had come, Bell got up from the grass and swished off another spike in his hand!
This time, the pigs were completely enraged, and rushed in the direction where Bell was. Bell also turned around and ran! The boar's sprint was fast! In an instant, it had already rushed to the edge of the grass.
The impact of the powerful explosive force is very huge, and in order to adapt to the characteristics of this attack, the boar has naturally evolved a good motor reflex nerve, and in order to avoid hitting the stone, it will easily cross when encountering obstacles. As soon as he rushed into the grass, the pig-headed saw the bark rope lying horizontally on the ground!
Subconsciously jumped into the air! With a huge inertia and a huge body, the first pig took the lead in hitting the spikes that were stuck diagonally on the ground! Poof! The whole spike pierced into the body along the choking throat of the boar! The five wild boars that followed the first pig were all hit in less than a second! The tenacious vitality made them run forward for more than ten meters, and they were about to collide with the hateful human being, but they fell to the ground.
An'esha, who was standing in a safe place, looked at the pig at her feet blankly, and pouted Bell beside her with her mouth half-open, "Is it dead?"
"Dead. Bell kicked the carcass of a pig.
After successfully killing the six boars, Bell skillfully cut off the boar's skin, pounded it with leaves and young grass to clean it up, and Anesa cut down many thick branches and sharpened them on one side.
Bell used his sword to cut small holes in the boar's skin, and then used bark rope to link the six boar's skins. With the thick branches that Anesa had sharpened, a temporary shelter was simply built.
Angesa thrust more spikes diagonally into the surrounding land, and carried the boar's carcass out with Bell, leaving only the pig's two thighs and some fat in the simple camp.
After some tossing, the sky gradually darkened, and Annesha became more and more admired by Bell, a novice Orion, and Bell also told her a lot of Orion's survival methods in the wild. After a short rest, Bell took out flint and three parts of velvet from his backpack, and took out the remaining materials for making bark rope from the side and divided them into two piles, one large and one small.
Annesha watched as he mixed a large pile of velvet and bark on the ground, and covered it with a small mixture of ingredients. "Wouldn't it taste good to burn like this?"
Bell looked at her in amazement, "This is not food, I will first light the velvet on it and use the heat to bake the lard out." As he spoke, he lit the velvet with a flint.
"Mountain lard can be used as fire oil, and the oil seeps directly into the material below to make the fire stronger, so that the remaining thick branches can be lit. You just add the thick branches you have at hand, and you don't have to worry about them going out. Bell put away the flint and picked up a few more thick twigs and tinkered with them.
A campfire was lit so smoothly, and the improvised wooden frame that Bell had made on the campfire was wearing two boar legs, and it was obvious that this was the dinner of the two of them tonight.
As the night fell, the two sat around the campfire and watched the squeaky and oily leg meat being roasted. Annesha stretched, "It seems like we've encountered a bigger beast for the first time in the past few days." ”
"Well, the outpost has been slaughtered, and the bandit camp should have been hunted as much as they normally walked. Now we are in a place where few people will come, so there will definitely be wild animals living nearby. You look at the robber's corpse in the clearing, and you don't know what took it. You can't be careless when camping here. Bell flipped over the shank, the lard fell, and the flames rose higher.
"Then do we need to take turns keeping vigil tonight?" An Elsa rolled her eyes, if she took turns to keep vigil, she shouldn't be able to sneak a look at the medal because of something.
"No, we wasted so much effort just for the safety of the camp. Wild beasts don't all attack people on their own initiative, not to mention that the wild boar meat outside is enough for them to eat. Bell was unfazed.
"Don't say if they have enough to eat, can we eat this meat?"
Bell poked the mountain pig's leg with a dagger, "It should be edible." ”
He took a boar leg from the fire, put it aside and cooled it, and Bell slipped a small piece with a dagger, put it in his mouth, and chewed it, "Cooked is cooked, but it doesn't taste good." ”
Ann Elsa took the boar's leg from Bell's hand and slice a large slice of meat with a dagger! How could it smell so good! This guy also learned to joke, "If it doesn't taste, it's better than dry cakes!"
I took a bite off a large piece of meat, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it, "Hmm...... It really doesn't taste good. But it's not unpleasant!"
Bell nodded, took the other thigh from the fire and put it aside to cool, "I know of several plants that can be used as spices, but I haven't seen them along the way." Let's make do with it!"
Anesa chewed on the meat, "It stands to reason that you hunters should not carry seasonings with you." I hunted prey in the wild, so it's easy to cook and eat!"
"Hey, the hunters have to take their prey back and sell it. Good meat can be sold for money, but we don't want to eat bad meat. Therefore, it is generally eaten to carry dry food. Bell spread his hands.
"Oh, by the way, Bell, can you show me the medal later, I haven't seen a service medal since I'm that old!" Ann Elsa looked at Bell expectantly, her mouth oily.
"Yes, but I'll have to wait until I'm done! Bell rubbed his fingers.
An Elsa was happy and worried! I vaguely felt that things might be very complicated.
