There were many mosquitoes, mice, and ants in the mountain forest, and it was difficult to make a path in this environment. Zhao An, who held a steel fork in his hand, wanted to say, "You're my Cha Cha!", but he decided against it.

There were also some villages around Mount Daqing, so there were definitely some villagers who would enter the mountain to hunt or search for medicinal herbs. Therefore, even though there were not many people in Mount Daqing, there were still some paths that one could follow, leading to other villages in the depths of the mountain or even behind it.

In the dim light of the jungle, Zhao An was able to distinguish the path covered by the dead leaves with his extraordinary eyesight. Occasionally, he would see some traces left behind by humans.

"Why are your eyes like little bulbs?" Although Ma Shilong was the last to arrive, he could see clearly when Zhao An and Li Qingge turned around. Their eyes were sparkling.

Compared to Zhao Qiya, although Zhao Qiya's eyes were beautiful, they didn't have a faint glimmer to them.

"Because we're lightbulbs." Zhao An was joking around. In fact, this should be the result of Li Qingge and him taking Baohua Pill.

Li Qingge also realized why her eyesight was better than before. However, Li Qingge didn't think that Zhao An and she were the light bulb, and Ma Shilong and Zhao Qiya were not lovers. Although Zhao Qiya was not much of a lover, Ma Shilong wasn't much of a match for Zhao Qiya, and Ma Shilong should be with Zhang Hui.

"Then I'm Edison." Zhao Qiya understood what Zhao An meant. It was fine if other people said it, but Zhao An intentionally or unintentionally wanted to seduce her and Ma Shilong, but Zhao Qiya didn't want to do it. It was completely not like Ma Shilong.

Although Ma Shilong was also the son of a high-ranking official and had a good family background, Zhao Qiya didn't think that she would like Ma Shilong's personality at all. It was different from Zhao An. It was more like trying to please a lady. Zhao Qiya felt that Zhao An was the most handsome when he was angry.

"Why are you Edison?" Both Zhao An and Li Qingge did not say anything. Ma Shilong was afraid that no one would respond to Zhao Qiya and embarrass her, so he quickly assumed this role.

"Because Edison invented the light bulb." Zhao Qiya said with a smile.

"The bulb wasn't Edison's statement. He just improved the bulb." As a learned science student, Li Qingge immediately corrected Zhao Qiya's mistake.

"So that's how it is. Then I'm Edison." Zhao Qiya said without the slightest bit of awkwardness.

Li Qingge was depressed. How could this person be so thick-skinned? If she didn't even know this kind of common sense, she would definitely feel very ashamed. Li Qingge became even more annoyed when he saw that Zhao Qiya's footsteps were in sync with Zhao An's. Li Qingge walked between Zhao An and Zhao Qiya, interrupting their pace. She said, "There seems to be a wild chicken!"

"Where?"

A few of them looked over at the same time. Only then did Li Qingge spread out her hands, "I think I saw wrong."

"Be careful..." Zhao An held onto Li Qingge, who was about to walk to the front. "Look, there's a trap here."

At the bottom of a big tree next to the path, there was a trap. Looking at its size and the iron bars on the trap, it was used to hunt large wild beasts.

"Looks like even if there aren't any wild boars here, there are still other large prey here." Since there were other people hunting, it meant that there were many wild beasts in the mountain.

"Even if we don't find the wild boar and put down a few traps, maybe we'll find something tomorrow." Zhao An said.

On the other hand, Li Qingge was excited. She believed even more in herself that she would be able to find a wild boar today.

"There seems to be rabbits there!" Ma Shilong saw a wisp of gray move between the dead leaves.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao An threw out the steel trident in his hand.

Accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, the steel fork was firmly stabbed into the ground. However, it was unknown whether or not it had been inserted into the ground by the rabbit.

"Your posture is pretty standard." Ma Shilong tapped his walking stick as he observed his surroundings. He was prepared to go over and take a look.

"All out!" Zhao An could feel that he was probably the target.

Ma Shilong walked over and picked up the steel fork. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it had indeed been inserted into the rabbit. He couldn't help but be flabbergasted. "Zhao An, this move of yours is so cool!"

No wonder Li Qingge was taken care of by Zhao An. Thinking back to how Zhao An had decisively and unhesitatingly made his move just now, even Ma Shilong was a little envious of him. If he could do the same, then Zhao Qiya … Why was Zhao Qiya looking at Zhao An with such a kind, naked expression? Worship? Or adoration? Ma Shilong felt depressed. When would he be able to be so cool like this and let a girl see it?

He picked up the rabbit and placed it in the basket before continuing on his way. Li Qingge became a little anxious as she looked all over the place. Zhao An had caught the rabbit, so she had to hurry and catch one of her prey or else she would lose to him.

However, other than this rabbit, it was not so easy to encounter other prey. Li Qingge could not help but complain about that rabbit. How could it be so stupid as to run into Zhao An's fork? Could it be that it did not know how to obediently stay in its nest?

The group of people made quite a bit of noise. The wild beasts were very agile. After circling around in a circle, they did not see any other prey. Therefore, Zhao An suggested that they place the wild beasts in a pincer position.

"There are a lot of wild beasts that only come out at night. We just need to put away the trap now, and there's no need to directly put it together with the hunting rifle and the steel trident."

Li Qingge really wanted to use a hunting rifle and a steel fork to rush up. Only by killing a wild boar like this would it be fun!

However, since Zhao An had already made his decision, Li Qingge didn't object. He followed Zhao An and heard a burst of cracking sounds, along with the sound of friction and impact.

"It might be a wild boar!" Other than large animals like these, which were generally small animals that would not cause such a commotion, Zhao An immediately became alert.

"Let's go take a look." Li Qingge was instantly excited and chased after the sound.

"Be careful!" Ma Shilong didn't forget to remind him, but he saw that Zhao Qiya, with her hands clenched into fists in front of her chest, looking scared and nervous at the same time. However, she was steadily following Zhao An, not moving an inch away from him.

After passing by a pile of protruding hills, he saw a wild boar in a small valley.

The wild boar was not huge, it was not the ferocious type of wild boar king, and it was slightly smaller than a normal domestic pig. The wild boar was not big, and it was not the ferocious type of wild boar king, and it was slightly smaller than a normal domestic pig, black in color, and its mane was a mess.

Although Zhao An and the others didn't make too much noise, they had already alerted the wild boar. The wild boar stopped rolling in the mud, staring at Zhao An and the others with its eyes wide open.

"Is it trying to play dead?" Li Qingge used his superior creature to look at the wild boar with a disdainful smile.

"Still unable to react?" Zhao An remembered that wild boars were not stupid.

"This thing won't be easy to carry down the mountain." Seeing that the wild boar was not big and he had four people on his side, and three of them had fighting strength, Ma Shilong recalled Zhao An's use of the steel trident and saw the wild boar as meat to be slaughtered.

"Which part of the wild boar meat is the most delicious?" Zhao Qiya felt that wild boars were different from ordinary pigs. Usually, when buying vegetables in the market, Zhao Qiya would choose different parts of the meat to make different dishes. However, wild boars would often run in the mountains.

"Don't think about eating yet. Be careful everyone. A wild boar is not a domestic pig. Its tusks are also very fierce." Zhao An had heard the news that over a dozen adults could not chase away a wild boar. The wild boar was not afraid of anything when it was enraged, and would even carry injuries after being shot. This kind of explosive force was not something that an ordinary person could withstand.

Zhao An wasn't Wu Song, and he didn't believe the story of Wu Song fighting against a tiger either. Normally, it would be difficult for an adult to fight a wild boar at their physical limits.

Of course, with the help of tools, Zhao An wouldn't find it difficult to deal with a wild boar like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Li Qingge and stopped her from doing something so dangerous.

The wild boar stood up in the mud puddle as if it was angered by the fact that the human had disturbed it. Its body trembled and mud immediately flew in all directions.

"He really is as stupid as a pig." Li Qingge immediately became happy.

"Pigs are intelligent creatures. When they bathe in mud, they can not only remove fleas from their mane, but they can also heal some wounds and skin ailments. They can also increase defense." Zhao An warned Li Qingge to be careful. "Don't let it mess you up later."

In fact, compared to the hunting rifle, Zhao An actually trusted his steel fork more. Unless he could hit a fatal area, in reality, the damage dealt to wild boars was limited. It was not enough to cause wild boars to lose their fighting strength in an instant.

Zhao Qiya, on the other hand, backed off a little. Even a girl who loved cleanliness would not be able to stand being touched by this filthy pig. She also knew that she wouldn't be of much use right now.

Ma Shilong thought for a moment and wittily threw a few traps around him. If a wild boar accidentally stepped on them, its movements would be affected.

"Why isn't it running away?" Li Qingge had already raised his hunting rifle and aimed as he asked in a strange tone.

Just as Li Qingge finished speaking, the wild boar let out a furious roar. It didn't have any plans to escape, it seemed to have taught a few humans who had barged into its territory a lesson!
