Chapter 1052 - 71: The Hunt Begins

Downstream.

Hua Yun quickly found the river crossing point Chen Wen mentioned.

Just as Chen Wen described, the flow in this area was quite gentle, and there were many stones protruding above the water surface.

Hua Yun casually picked up some stones by the river and tossed them into the water.

After going back and forth three or four times, a rough stone bridge appeared on the river.

She stepped on the stones and quickly walked to the opposite bank.

Then she dashed into the forest, breaking pine needles and rubbing them on herself.

The strong scent from the pine needles masked Hua Yun’s own smell.

After applying the pine needles, Hua Yun grabbed her bow and arrows and continued advancing along the riverbank inside the forest. Soon, she was lying in ambush right opposite the wild boar herd.

This was a relatively dense bush area. Hua Yun took out her bow and arrows, placing them one by one beside her, with three arrows in her hand, ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing Hua Yun settle into her ambush, the Golden Eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew over to Chen Wen to report the situation.

Chen Wen picked up some pine needles, stepped on them, rubbed them on the ground, and then smeared his spear with them to mask the bloody scent.

Next, he actively activated the entry "Gua Fragrance" and slowly approached the wild boar herd.

With his scent masked, Chen Wen managed to evade fifty percent of the wild boars’ perception ability.

Moreover, his movements were light and slow, making it difficult for the wild boars to hear his footsteps.

As for vision, the wild boars certainly couldn’t see Chen Wen as he crawled forward.

Thus, Chen Wen continued to approach the wild boar herd.

On the Golden Eagle’s side, it was also ready.

But contrary to Chen Wen’s instructions for harassment, the Golden Eagle wanted to go big!

It planned to use its super strength and speed to launch an attack on a young wild boar.

To see if it could kill one.

The plan proceeded smoothly, and soon Chen Wen reached the vicinity of the wild boar herd.

He slowly raised his spear, gauging the distance.

Over eighty meters—not quite enough; he had to get closer.

Chen Wen thought, and just as he was about to continue crawling forward.

A wild boar on watch suddenly stood up from the mud in front.

Chen Wen was startled and quickly lowered his head, allowing himself to observe the situation of the wild boars while avoiding their sight.

Had this wild boar discovered something?

Chen Wen wondered.

But to his relief, the wild boar hadn’t noticed anything unusual on Chen Wen’s side; it shook the mud off after getting up and slowly walked toward the shore.

Had it finished its mud bath?

Chen Wen speculated and continued to approach.

Step by step, after about five minutes, Chen Wen closed the distance to about fifty meters from the wild boar herd.

This distance was Chen Wen’s limit.

If he went any further, he would have to leave the forest and expose himself entirely in the sight of the wild boars.

Moreover, at this distance, some wild boars seemed to catch the strong scent of Gua Fragrance wafting from Chen Wen, occasionally raising their heads to glance his way.

They were omnivorous animals and quite fond of Gua Fragrance too.

Chen Wen didn’t try to emit more of the Gua Fragrance scent but instead leveled his spear.

He slowly adjusted his posture, mobilizing his arms, waist, and abdomen, getting the blood flowing, while also letting the power flow to his limbs and bones.

Taking a deep breath.

Chen Wen slowly closed his eyes, then quickly opened them.

His sharp eyes locked onto the adult wild boar that had come ashore, and Chen Wen slowly exhaled.

Having trained, he had already memorized each upcoming action in his muscles.

Arm back, waist and abdomen exerting force, driving the muscles, he threw the spear!

Whu!

A dull sound of breaking wind rose as the spear shot out of the bush like a lightning bolt.

Swish!

The adult wild boar on shore, watching its herd without any defenses, was directly pierced by the spear.

The spear went through its side abdomen, dragging some blood with it.

As the spear pierced through, the wild boar’s body trembled a few times, and as quickly as in a blink, the wild boar let out a miserable cry and began to run away.

Yet it hadn’t run two steps before its body uncontrollably tilted and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.

The wild boar herd, suddenly attacked, immediately panicked.

They began to flee.

But at that moment, Chen Wen charged out of the jungle.

He rushed toward the wild boar herd in an arc-like route, yelling loudly as he ran.

In their panic, the wild boar herd couldn’t care where they ran.

They instinctively fled toward the river under Chen Wen’s drive.

Seeing this, Chen Wen immediately followed the wild boars, adjusting his chase route slightly upstream.

The pig herd, very sharp.

Not long after Chen Wen deviated from the route, they started fleeing downstream along the river.

On the Golden Eagle’s side.

Seeing the wild boar herd starting to flee, it immediately began its dive!

In the high sky, the Golden Eagle folded its wings, with the whole bird diving straight like a missile dropped from a plane, heading directly for the wild boar herd.

Chen Wen keenly noticed the Golden Eagle in the high sky; he realized the Golden Eagle seemed intent on trying to kill a wild boar to frighten them away.

Thus, he immediately altered his pursuit plan.

Chen Wen retreated a few steps, coming beside the fallen wild boar.

He directly stepped on the wild boar, pulled out the spear, bringing forth a gush of blood.

He shook off the blood and continued sprinting upstream of the river, while the wild boar herd had reached the riverbank.

Just as they hesitated whether to cross the river, the Golden Eagle swooped down, its target a very clear one—a juvenile wild boar.

This wild boar wasn’t very large, only twenty to thirty kilograms, which was relatively large prey for the Golden Eagle.

But the Golden Eagle had no fear in its heart.

By accelerating in its dive, it reached a speed exceeding that of a peregrine falcon in its dive.

At such speed, an ordinary Golden Eagle’s body would surely be unable to withstand it!

But Golden Wing was different; enhanced by the entry, its body’s tolerance was greatly enhanced.

And it could even react to this speed!

As it was about to reach the wild boar’s head, the Golden Eagle extended its claws, aiming at the wild boar’s soft eyes and nose area, and fiercely grabbed!

Chen Wen couldn’t clearly see what happened; even though he had visual enhancement ability, at this moment, the Golden Eagle’s speed broke through Chen Wen’s visual limits.

Screech — Screech —

The wild boar’s sharp cries rang out, its head seeming to suffer a heavy blow, with its eyes and nose area turned into a bloody mess.

By now, it completely couldn’t see its surroundings anymore.

Meanwhile, on the side, the Golden Eagle stood on the ground, wings spread, glaring menacingly at the remaining wild boars.

The wild boars had no intention of passing by the Golden Eagle.

They wanted to run upstream.

But Chen Wen was also holding a spear as he arrived here!

With the Golden Eagle on the left, Chen Wen on the right.

The wild boar herd made their decision—to cross the river!
