Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Trapped in the Deep Mountains_1

Ye-ge first picked up the hunting mechanism and then aimed at the bushes.

The biggest advantage of mechanical contraptions is: once a target is detected, whether seen or not, it can be targeted using the contraption. By pressing the switch of the hunting device, four arrows will be propelled simultaneously towards the target. Regardless of where the prey is hiding, the arrows can pierce the bush and hit the target directly.

As soon as that rustling sound was heard again, Ye-ge suddenly flipped the switch, and with a "whoosh," all four arrows were launched.

From deep within the bushes came a few whimpers, the sounds growing softer and softer, quickly fading into silence.

Nan Feng, knife in hand, cautiously approached, by now the bushes were completely silent.

As she lightly pushed aside the bushes, she saw a fat bamboo rat lying impaled by arrows, already dead.

Nan Feng immediately celebrated by giving Ye-ge a high five: "It seems like our recent efforts with Kung Fu weren’t wasted, this contraption is really useful!"

Following the high five, Ye-ge gave Nan Feng a smile.

...

Since obtaining the hunting contraption, Nan Feng had become even more audacious, sometimes when Ye-ge had no time to go hunting on the mountain, she would come alone.

The first few times were free of danger, and the harvest was bountiful.

Until one day, she was lured deeper into the mountains by a boar.

The boar was covered in spikes; the four arrows from the hunting device that hit it were all blocked by its spines.

Nan Feng initially wanted to give up, and switch to other game if she couldn’t hit this one, but that boar was too arrogant, it actually scoffed at Nan Feng by swishing its rump defiantly.

Fueled by anger, Nan Feng decided that she absolutely had to take it down.

And so, she followed it deeper into the mountains.

Boars have nests, and as soon as it scurried into a cave, it vanished from sight. Nan Feng had a fire starter with her and was trying to create a torch to smoke the boar out, who knew that five or six boars would suddenly rush out of the nest. Seeing this, Nan Feng knew she was in danger, and immediately took to her heels.

If it had been five wild pigs, Nan Feng wouldn’t have been afraid, but boars are covered with thorny spikes, which are hooked at the tips and are hard to remove if they pierce into the skin.

Due to her rush to escape, Nan Feng stopped caring about where she was going, as long as she could run, she did.

Being embarrassingly chased by boars for a good while, by the time she finally shook them off, Nan Feng was practically exhausted, with no strength left in her body.

And moreover, it was about to get dark.

To make matters worse, she had lost her fire starter while fleeing.

All she had left was a knife and a rope, even if she knew how to tell the direction in the forest, she wouldn’t dare to rashly make her way down. The road was long, and chances were it would be pitch black before she could reach the halfway point.

Walking in the deep mountains at night is extremely dangerous.

What to do?

Nan Feng dared not rashly go down the mountain, and dared not hide in a cave in the mountain, in case she encountered wild beasts. At that point, it wouldn’t be about hunting anymore, it would be about her becoming the prey instead.

With no other options, she decided to use the remaining daylight to climb a tall, straight tree.

Upon settling onto a high crotch of the tree, ensured of her safety, she finally relaxed.

But another problem immediately arose: she was now ravenously hungry and darkness had fallen. If she can’t go back tonight, Nan Quanyou should be very worried.

Moreover, the temperature drops at night in the mountains, and the wind is very strong. It was so cold that Nan Feng was shivering.

Although she was healthier than when she first came here, if shereally had to endure a night in the mountains, she would likely fall sick from the cold the next day.

Nan Feng sneezed several times.

With darkness now all around her, she sat shivering in the tree crotch. Because she worried that she might fall off the tree if she fell asleep, she tied herself up with the rope.

The mountains grew quieter and quieter, apart from the sound of the wind, only the sounds of unknown wild animals could be heard. At one point, she heard a rustling sound, and peeking down, she saw two green glowing eyes -- a wolf.

The wolf didn’t notice Nan Feng and just passed by.
