I am a Primitive Man

The eastern sky rose with the morning star, signaling that the long night was finally ending.

Seeing the eastern horizon gradually lightening, the dozen or so people who had stayed up all night standing on the wall sighed in relief.

Looking at the still-closed door of Divine Child's residence, they couldn't help but smile bitterly again. Divine Child really could sleep through anything.

After waiting a while, when Shaman opened the door and came out, the Eldest Senior Brother and the others couldn't resist. They came over to persuade Shaman to wake Divine Child and see the catch together.

Shaman thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement...

After getting up, Han Cheng looked at the group of people with red eyes staring at him outside the door, unable to help but be stunned. These guys hadn't slept all night?

"Early to bed and rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Isn't staying up all night even worse?

Thinking this, but without delay, after a simple wash-up, he joined the eager crowd who were already prepared and couldn't wait any longer, leaving the tribe towards the direction where the wild boars had screamed last night.

After walking for a while, Han Cheng remembered something and stopped.

The people behind, rushing forward anxiously, almost couldn't stop their steps.

Just as everyone was feeling surprised, Han Cheng's voice rang out.

"Form up, move quietly, watch your steps, and beware of those wild boars that haven't fallen into traps."

He issued such an order because he suddenly remembered the incident three years ago when the Green Sparrow tribe was searching for Fu Jiang. They encountered a fight between a saber-toothed tiger and wild boars in the forest.

Although wild boars might look clumsy, they were fierce and tended to stick together, not quickly abandoning injured companions.

From the scale of the trampled grain yesterday and the various sizes of footprints left behind, coupled with what the Eldest Senior Brother and the others heard last night, it was clear that there wasn't just one wild boar.

Even though they had dug many traps in that area, it wasn't possible to trap all the wild boars.

It was necessary to make these arrangements now to prevent them from escaping and to secure more meat that was practically within their grasp.

After so much training, many tribe members had almost developed a conditioned reflex for specific commands.

After Han Cheng shouted these words, those who had seemed confused just now quickly reacted. The Vine Shield Team led, followed by the Long Spear Team, with the Bow and Sling Team on the left and right sides.

The momentum was different from before, instantly becoming more coordinated.

"You guys go from here, and you guys go from there, block their retreat first..."

Han Cheng directed the division of forces.

With this arrangement, everyone's internal alarm bells rang, no longer simply thinking about rushing over to collect wild boars as before.

The Eldest Senior Brother led a few people to move out first, followed by Shang and the Second Senior Brother.

The three of them led their groups to approach from three directions. From a distance, after confirming that they were all in position, Han Cheng and Shaman, along with Third Senior Brother and others, headed towards the edge of the traps.

The people from the three directions also moved forward together.

Fuj Jang and the five Little Fus also followed closely beside Han Cheng, walking in that direction together.

The encirclement grew smaller, the wild boars' squeals gradually became clearer, and the scene near the traps also came into view.

Four or five piglets, weighing about ten kilograms each, were anxiously circling there, grunting.

Upon noticing that people were gradually closing in, they became alert, standing there and looking around, ready to run at any moment.

"Divine Child, let me shoot it with an arrow..."

Third Senior Brother spoke up, seeing that they were within effective range of the bow and arrow. If they moved forward again, these wild boars might bolt.

Han Cheng nodded. The people on his side stopped their steps, and Third Senior Brother took a step forward, took out a feathered arrow with an iron arrowhead, placed it on the bow, aimed at a piglet close to him, relaxed his hand, and let the arrow fly.

The piglet let out a wail as it collapsed to the ground, then quickly scrambled up and fled wildly, stumbling aimlessly.

The other four, seeing this, wasted no time and also bolted, fleeing for their lives.

Surrounding people who were prepared also sprang into action, intercepting them.

"Go!"

Han Cheng pointed in the direction where the piglet was escaping. The six trained dogs also shot like arrows released from a bow, joining the pursuit.

For a moment, the air filled with people's shouts, pigs' squeals, and dog barks.

"Puff!"

In its mad rush to escape, one piglet ran for a while before suddenly realizing there were still people ahead. It quickly turned aside in a panic, but it was too late. The Eldest Senior Brother, quick-eyed and quick-handed, skewered it in the belly with a stone spear...

"Zing!"

The bowstring twanged. Amidst the chase, Third Senior Brother once again drew his bow. The piglet, already hit in one leg by him, now had another arrow in its other leg. It collapsed to the ground, and it was already too late when it tried to get up again...

"Woo woo..."

Fu Jiang and the Five Little Fu Jiangs galloped, and one panicked squealing piglet was tackled to the ground...

Over where the Second Senior Brother was, there was also success. The last piglet ran a few circles but eventually realized it couldn't escape.

The people closing in forced it into a trap.

Everyone watched as three piglets, now roughly bound and struggling on the ground, and one deceased, plus another piglet temporarily out of sight in a trap, filled them with satisfaction and appreciation for Divine Child's arrangements.

These five piglets wouldn't have been caught so cleanly if they had proceeded as usual.

These piglets were just appetizers. The potential haul could only be greater with six traps set and five sprung!

"Hiss!"

Even though they knew the haul wouldn't be small, everyone involuntarily gasped when they saw the scene in the largest trap.

Inside, there was a massive wild boar covered in hard mud armor!

This beast weighed at least four hundred kilograms!

However, it was already dead, its belly pierced by five wooden spikes over twenty centimeters long, its white tusks stained with blood.

Its four hooves were entangled in a net, now wholly shapeless.

It was clear that this beast had struggled violently and furiously after falling into the trap.

Watching this enormous wild boar, the tribe members, including the martially inclined Shang, couldn't help but feel lingering fear and relief.

Thankfully, Divine Child had set up these traps; otherwise, even if they had discovered such a giant wild boar, they wouldn't dare provoke it easily.

Once it went berserk, encountering it would mean death or injury!

In addition to this giant wild boar in the trap, a piglet had fallen lucky into a gap between the wooden spikes and had not been harmed.

After extracting the wild boar from this trap, the piglets from the remaining traps were also gradually removed.

They had captured twelve wild boars, including the four previously caught (excluding the one that fell into the trap)!

Among them were one super-sized wild boar and another smaller adult wild boar weighing over a hundred kilograms!

It could be said that the harvest was quite fruitful!
