After provoking the porcupine, Fu Rui simply ran away.
The porcupine scout was unable to endure such anger. Thus, it roared and started running.
Then, a human and a porcupine ran through the forest.
Fu Rui ran with some difficulty.
Even though he had rested for a long time, the energy provided by the berries was very limited as berries did not provide as much energy as meat.
After running in the forest for so long, his footsteps were a little weak.
After all, over the past two days, he had eaten less.
Meanwhile, the porcupine scout chased closely behind and soon arrived at the place where Fu Rui had set up the trap.
It could see the strange and twisted bamboo and could not help but hesitate.
In the end, Fu Rui turned around and raised his middle finger again. As a result, the porcupine scout became angry again and chased after him.
“What a stupid porcupine.”
Fu Rui stared at the trigger device on the other side of the large tree. When he was very close to the device, he jumped over by a narrow margin.
However, the huge porcupine was not that smart. It stepped on the device and the rope immediately tightened around its feet.
Hearing the noise, Fu Rui turned around nervously.
The bamboo that had been restrained for a long time was finally released. With a swoosh, the bamboo bounced back and the porcupine was instantly swept along the huge force. Its body flipped over as it cried out in shock.
The rope didn’t break!
Fu Rui knew that this trap was a success!
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he had expected, the porcupine was pulled back by the rope after it flew into the air. After the momentum dissipated, the porcupine fell freely towards the ground as the rope was not tightly tied. Then, it smashed onto the ground. The long, sharp wooden rod that had been set up became a lethal weapon that pierced through its body under the tremendous impact.
The howling gradually became weaker and weaker before it eventually died down.
Yuan poked her head out from behind the tree and asked happily, “Did we succeed?”
Fu Rui also smiled. “It’s a success. We have porcupine meat to eat now.”
“Meow!”
Yuan cried out in joy and flew into Fu Rui’s arms at a rapid speed. She kissed and licked him, continuously expressing the joy in her heart.
Fu Rui feared that he would not be able to resist the desire in his heart after feeling her kisses. Thus, he quietly pushed her away a little and caressed her ears.
“Meow, meow, meow~” Yuan narrowed her eyes, and a pleasant rumbling sound came from her delicate neck.
After that, the two of them tidied up the scene. The porcupine’s body was extremely heavy, and it could provide them with an extremely sufficient amount of meat. They would definitely not be able to finish the food in a short period of time.
However, if it was roasted and preserved, it would be very dangerous as its fragrance might attract even more wild beasts.
Therefore, finding the tribe as soon as possible became the most important thing to do now.
The porcupine was too heavy to carry around for long periods of time.
Furthermore, since the roads were blocked, they could only travel through water.
Fu Rui retrieved the rope and started to use the nearby materials to make a bamboo raft.
In around the afternoon, the two of them brought their spoils of war with them and boarded the raft to find their tribe.
…
The sky gradually darkened. In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The beast-eared tribe welcomed another dark night.
Cold and hunger constantly tormented this tribe of females.
The tribe’s home was only surrounded by a simple fence. The fence looked like it couldn’t even stop hyenas.
Fortunately, there was a watchtower outside that could warn the tribesmen ahead of time.
At this moment, there were two dog-eared girls standing on the watchtower, snuggling up to each other for warmth.
“Wei, what should our tribe do this time… Out of the ten members of the hunting team, only three of them came back, but they only brought back a little bit of food.”
“Don’t worry, Old Leader Li will find a way…”
Wei sighed and looked at the river. “It’s mainly because of that child, Yuan… Even Yuan has gone missing. Xia will definitely go out to look for her. However, the porcupine tribe has been causing a lot of commotion recently. They are constantly expanding their territory and will attack our tribe at any time. If Xia isn’t around, we definitely won’t be able to resist the attack of the porcupine tribe.”
“The witch is dead, and so is the Village Chief…”
The other dog-eared girl pursed her lips and said with worry, “Li was the previous Village Chief. She’s old enough, so leading us…”
She did not finish her sentence, but as her sister, Wei knew what she wanted to say.
The tribe required young and strong females with the ability and ideas to lead the tribe. Only then could the tribe be sustained.
The beast-eared tribe had encountered so many major events, and there was even a porcupine tribe eyeing them from the outside. If they did not change their Village Chief, they might be annexed by other tribes, and everyone would become a tool for male tribes to breed with.
Both of them felt a little heavy-hearted. They could not even feel the cold wind that was pouring into the watchtower.
Suddenly, the two sisters stood up and looked towards the river. Their noses kept twitching, as if they had smelled something.
“Li, do you smell it too?” Wei frowned.
Li nodded. “It’s the smell of the porcupine tribe.”
“The enemy has invaded our territory. Sound the war horn!”
Wei’s previous gloomy look had changed into a solemn and dignified expression as she stared at the blind spot in the forest.
Wu~~
The melodious sound of the horns could be heard.
Then, sounds came from all the houses in the tribe. All the beast-eared females in the tribe moved out and gathered at the center of the tribe.
“What happened?”
A beautiful and voluptuous fox-eared lady stood in front of everyone.
Li immediately explained, “Village Chief Li, an enemy has invaded our territory.”
“It’s still the porcupine tribe.”
Li waved her slender hand. “Let’s use our previous defensive method to stop them.”
The fox-eared lady appeared unfazed, but her brows were clearly furrowed.
She was worried as the porcupine tribe had plundered and harassed them time and time again. As a result, the porcupine tribe had already occupied most of their territory. This time, they would probably face an all-out attack.
Their opponent was too strong and was not something that the beast-eared tribe could handle.
However, she was now everyone’s backbone and their only hope. Thus, she definitely could not show any signs of panic before the battle.
Meanwhile, a cow-eared woman with horns on her head held a rough spear and said in a low muffled voice: “That damned porcupine tribe. We have already moved to the river, but they still won’t let us go!”
“Sisters, grab your weapons. We’ll fight it out with them!”
“Xia is right. Let’s fight it out with them!”
The rest of the beast-eared women had a look of hatred on their faces.
“Wait, I don’t think it’s the porcupine tribe…”
Wei suddenly said from the watchtower, “It’s… it’s Yuan! Oh my god, she’s brought a big porcupine!”
