Chapter 16: Searching for Beasts in the Mountains

It is different from the southern Spring Festival after the Spring Festival, you can already feel the breath of early spring. Many cities in the north still enjoy the taste of ice and snow. The jungle near Yunwu Mountain is still covered with thick snow.

Xu Zhengdao, who returned to Yunwu Mountain, in order to complete Liu Daneng's request, also went into the jungle neatly, looking for the whereabouts of the wild boars in the deep mountains. Compared to when the snow first closed the mountain, the wild boar herd has begun to go out to forage for food during this time.

Some daring herds of wild boars even dare to go to the mountains and forests not far from human settlements to feed. In other seasons, they wouldn't have dared to be so bold. Because they seem to know that the fate of running into a human doesn't seem to be good.

After staying in the mountains for a few years, Xu Zhengdao naturally learned more about the habits of wild animals living in the mountains. After going to the Monkey Ridge first and delivering food to the monkeys who had quietly left the grotto, he turned around and began to search for the footprints of the wild boar herd.

Although the Wildlife Protection Law has not yet been implemented, the wild boar is an animal that the people living in the mountains hate very much. The reason for this is naturally that wild boars have a keen sense of smell and can always find food to fill their stomachs.

And the grain grown by the people is also one of the favorite foods of wild boars. In addition to grazing on crops, wild boars are also adept at harming farmland. Once the fields where the people grow crops are targeted by wild boars, there is a high probability that the grain will not be harvested.

Therefore, every time he hunts, Xu Zhengdao takes wild boars as a priority hunting object, and there will be no psychological burden!

As an experienced hunter familiar with the surrounding terrain, Xu Zhengdao soon discovered the migration footprints of several wild boar herds. Following the messy footprints left by the wild boar herd, it didn't take long for him to see a herd of wild boars foraging not far away.

"Hey, after a winter, these guys don't look like they've lost much weight! That's fine, if there is too much lean meat, those who love to eat fatty meat will probably dislike this kind of lean meat! ”

I know that in these years, when people buy meat and eat meat, they like fatty meat. In later generations, fatty pork was deeply hated by those who loved beauty and thinness. On the contrary, lean meat and lean meat have become the first choice for such people to eat meat.

The problem is that many people are short of oil and water in this day and age. Not to mention meat oil such as lard, even soybean oil and vegetable oil are purchased in quantities. In order to replenish more oil and water, when people buy meat, they often choose meat with more fat.

Spotting a herd of pigs foraging in the snowy jungle, Xu Zhengdao quickly set his eyes on several larger and fatter wild boars in the herd. Unlike before, when he could only hunt two boars with a short spear, he was undoubtedly faster.

took out a sharp short spear from the storage ring, and Xu Zhengdao, who activated the dragon walking method, rushed out directly. The herd of wild boars that were foraging for food, when they saw Xu Zhengdao who suddenly appeared, their first reaction was to flee in all directions.

On the contrary, the most sturdy boar king, seeing that Xu Zhengdao was not good, he was so bold that he did not escape, but erected sharp fangs and launched a 'savage charge' skill against Xu Zhengdao.

Xu Zhengdao, who didn't want to spear it, was also speechless: "I originally wanted to spare your life, but now it seems that you are in a hurry to reincarnate, so it will fulfill you." Shoot your spear first, and then hunt down your family's adult strong men. ”

At the same time as these thoughts flashed in his heart, the short spear in his hand was already shot vigorously. The Boar King, who was charging through the snow, quickly sensed something, piercing directly through its hardest skull, and then piercing its abdomen and disappearing into its body.

The wild boar king, who couldn't stop at all, was already killed the moment he was pierced through the head by the short spear, but he still couldn't control his body and rolled in the snow. For the wild boar king who dared to take the initiative to attack, Xu Zhengdao no longer paid attention to it the moment he threw the short spear.

At this moment, he paid more attention to the wild boars that had fled in a hurry. As the dragon walking method was improved to the realm of Xiaocheng, his speed in running in the jungle was naturally no slower than that of these wild boars with rough skin and thick flesh.

The short spear made in advance instantly turned into a life-threatening scythe in his hand at this moment, and the wild boar that he targeted was basically unable to escape the fate of being hunted by the short spear. Only when all six short spears were thrown did he stop chasing the wild boar herd.

Looking at the slightly messy and bloody hunting scene, Xu Zhengdao said with a little emotion: "The dignified foundation building monk actually did the work of a jungle pig killer, which is somewhat like killing chickens with a knife!" ”

Even if I feel that if I do this, I am a little sorry for Xuan Xiu's noble status. But Xu Zhengdao knew better that he didn't want to expose Xuan Xiu's identity. The experience of his previous life taught him that if he wanted to live for a long time, he had to learn to be reluctant.

In this era, don't look at him as a monk in the Qi Refining Divine Realm, many people see him as a respectable existence. If he really wants to commit a serious crime, I believe that the iron fist in the hands of the government can also teach him how to be a good person in the next life.

It is true that his cultivation has improved, but Xu Zhengdao still clearly knows that his strength is not a big problem in dodging bullets at the moment. But if he really ran into a cannon or a more powerful weapon, he would still be blown to slag.

"Compared to being a Xuan Xiu who is infinitely high in the eyes of others, I would rather be a hermit who mixes with the world. Keep going, don't wave! The long march of thousands of miles has only taken a small step, and you must not be proud, be careful about the 10,000-year-old ship! ”

Every time he felt signs of pride and complacency, Xu Zhengdao would pour cold water on himself in time and warn himself to be cautious. He didn't know much about this world, and the strength he had now was not enough for him to be fearless.

Wipe the short spear that hunted wild boar on the white snow, and put all the wild boars that have been killed into the storage ring. After confirming that the group had successfully 'slimmed down', he began to search the jungle for other herds.

In order to ensure that the wild boar herd can still ensure the breeding of the herd after it is hunted, most of the wild boars he hunts are male wild boars. In many cases, as long as the leader of the wild boar herd is not as strong as the wild boar king he hunted before, he will let him go.

The leader of the group and the female boar in charge of breeding are retained, and when the spring flowers bloom, it is believed that the young and strong wild boar herd will soon grow again. Selective hunting is also the criterion that Xu Zhengdao follows in hunting.

It took two days for Xu Zhengdao to find a huge herd of wild boars from eight family members in the mountains. For each herd of wild boars, he only picks six of the strongest wild boars to hunt, and the number of wild boars accumulated in the final storage ring can be imagined.

In addition to wild boars, there are more animals in the mountains, and Xu Zhengdao has also reduced them slightly. But if you really want to talk about it, he has been in the mountains in the past few years, and he has not put food on the animals in the jungle.

It can be said that to a large extent, he is consciously controlling the number of these animals while giving more breeding opportunities to the wild animals in this jungle. Wild boars, for example, now seem to have a very good population.

At least the nearby villagers living in the mountains have rarely heard of the plight of their fields by wild boars. The villagers who make a living from farming are happy, but those who make a living by hunting may not be in a good mood.

But what does this have to do with Xu Zhengdao?

Taking advantage of this trip, Xu Zhengdao inspected the jungle around Yunwu Mountain. During the years of seclusion in the mountains, he was able to understand the surrounding mountains and forests. He also knows the mountains where some beasts are located.

Before leaving, he also went out of his way to look at these beasts. Unlike hunting wild boars and wild wolves, he often shows mercy to the few tigers, leopards and bears in the mountains. Because he knew that there were really not many of these beasts in the mountains.

Although he didn't know if these beasts would be able to continue to thrive in the mountains after he left, Xu Zhengdao still hoped that the next time he came, he would still be able to see their traces and even descendants in the mountains.

Having fierce beasts to protect the mountain forest can also ensure that the mountain forest will not be encroached upon by humans. Although he knew that this was unlikely, Xu Zhengdao still hoped that in a few years, the locals would still be convinced that there were fierce beasts in the mountains, not that the fierce beasts would be extinct!
