Fearsome Farmer - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: The Battle With The Wild Boar

It would have been another beautiful day if he wasn’t hungry.

Li Siwen jumped out of the treehouse full of energy, routinely checked the sky, then shook his head. There was a high probability that there would be no rain today.

Then, he looked up to the north of the flooded valley, the territory of the wild boar family. There, two old wild boars had been patrolling since the big snake died last night. Their small eyes revealed deep vigilance and caveat.

“So, I’m going vegetarian today!”

Li Siwen said righteously. To be more precise, if the wild boar family was the same as in the past and only sent one old wild boar to go after him, he would definitely get to eat wild boar meat today. However, there was no way he could go up against two old wild boars.

With his scrawny limbs, he wouldn’t even be able to take one blow.

The Iron Ring Black Snakes could not be found at the south bank of the flooded valley. Li Siwen wandered around most of the night before, killed 12,000 mosquitoes, and only caught three dessert rats. He was really sad.

Hence, Li Siwen was ready to take the initiative. He wanted to completely reverse this hunger situation.

He went on his usual routine to chop trees and fill up the green orb with Vitality Points. Then, he used vines to make a basket to carry on his back. He headed toward the vast river on the edge of the forest. There were few trees, plenty of sunlight, resulting in many types of plants.

Li Siwen observed as he walked. First, he found a green foxtail. If he remembered correctly, they could domesticate this as millet.

Although he wasn’t sure how to domesticate it, he had Vitality Points.

He carefully chose a clump of green foxtail, extracted some Vitality Points to ripen it quickly.

One should not underestimate vitality Points. In just a few moments, the clump of green foxtail that was originally only half a meter long grew to a height of nearly 1.5 meters. Its ears grew from 5 to 9. They already looked like millets.

Li Siwen happily harvested them and put them in his back basket. He would bring these seeds back to dry and select them, then plant them in the farmland. As long as the young seedlings emerge, he could continue to mature them with his Vitality Points. It was estimated that it would only take a few reproductions before he could eat them.

Just the thought of it filled up with anticipation.

Other than ripening green foxtail, Li Siwen intended to cultivate some vegetables. It didn’t have to be cabbage or the like, as long as they could be eaten.

Moving on, he would occasionally linger in front of a few weeds, even tasting them, especially those that look juicy with huge leaves. As long as it didn’t taste too bad, these weeds stood a chance to be domesticated into vegetables.

Li Siwen walked out seven or eight miles on the edge of the forest the entire morning, ripening seven edible wild vegetables, three small berries, one shrub fruit, and two weeds that could be domesticated as a staple food. He killed an agile rabbit, collected twelve bird eggs, caught two wild ducks, and touched seven little herrings in the shallow water of the river. It was a fruitful trip.

But when he got home, he was furious. His treehouse was violently broken into pieces, and the cultivated farmland was in a mess. It was as if dozens of wild boars held a party here.

Looking to the north of the flooded valley, the two old wild boars were still patrolling, their little eyes cunning and provocative.

“Damn! Since you want war, I’ll give you war!”

Li Siwen didn’t get consumed with anger. After quickly calming his mood, he first ate all the food slowly, then found out the anti-inflammatory herb and hemostatic herb that had been dried in the sun from the scattered treehouse. Other than the long knife, axe, and hoe he had with him, they were considered his most important asset. He had invested over 20 Vitality Points on it.

Li Siwen put the dried anti-inflammatory herb and hemostatic herb on a relatively flat stone and crushed them into powder. Then, he took out a water gourd that was previously dried out and put the powder in carefully. It was quite fruitful. The powder almost filled the water gourd that could hold two catties of water.

He placed the cover carefully and tied it to his body with a cloth strip. This thing could definitely save lives.

After that, he leisurely chopped some trees and accumulated his Vitality Points to 15.

Then, he sat in the fallen tree house and rested calmly.

One hour later, when his Stamina recovered, he extracted some Spirit Points and added it to his Spirit. After obtaining a super-brain effect, he immediately recalled all the details of the wild boar family’s territory. After all, he frequented that area. He had no use for such details usually, but as long as he added some Spirit, he could actively recall them.

More than ten minutes later, the expressionless Li Siwen let out a foul breath and immediately drew a map on the ground. Each point on the map was the location of each big tree.

“The south of the wild boar family’s territory is close to the flooded valley, the north is close to the vines, west to the river, and the east is unknown. They have a wide range of diet and eat everything. In addition, their skin is thick and rough. In terms of data, their Stamina is at least 50 and above. Hence, poisoning it with Iron Wolf Poison may not be effective.”

“There are 36 wild boars in the wild boar family. Among them, six old wild boars were all male. This is strange. There is no obvious leader. Every old wild boar seems to be a leader. What is this situation?”

“These old wild boars are powerful. They are two meters tall and weigh at least two thousand catties. Their bristles are like steel needles and they have rough and thick skin. It is impossible for my steel axe to cause a fatal blow. In addition, they run very fast. Under normal circumstances, they can run 100 meters in ten seconds. Occasionally, they can even do it in eight seconds. That’s quite nasty.”

Other than these old wild boars, there are three big wild boars or possibly old sows. They have 14 small wild boars that were just born this year, and 13 young wild boars, which should be born last year. Neither their combat effectiveness nor cunningness can be compared with those old wild boars.”

“So the problem now lies in the six old wild boars and how they can use joint tactics cleverly. Two old wild boars patrol together. There are no blind spots on the flat ground. Even if my Agility is 9, I can’t take them head-on. Even if I can dodge their frontal charge, my weapon is too light. Even if I can break their defense, it is definitely not fatal. I will be easily caught. If there is only a one-second delay, I will be dead. Their one-foot-long eversion fangs are no joke.”

Li Siwen quickly analyzed in his mind. At the same time, he memorized the locations of the big trees in the wild boar territory. This was very important. If he could remember it in advance, he could move quickly through his body’s spatial judgment without the need to activate his Spirit Vision. It was best not to show his cards so easily.

“This is a blind spot. Every time I go near this area, those old wild boars go mad. What are they hiding here? An old sow preparing for birth?”

Li Siwen was in the middle of the map. He was about one kilometer away from the flooded valley. It was a small valley with lush woods and a towering terrain. When he first looked for a place to settle down, he saw an old wild boar there and decisively avoided it.

“So I need a more powerful weapon, one that can cause a fatal blow to the old wild boar. In addition, I should increase my Defense to 4. This will not only improve my Defense but also unlock my Strength and Agility shortcomings.”
