Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Shock

Looking at the wild boar, the four of them were visibly excited.

Wild boars are typically very meaty, and this one looked particularly robust. If they managed to hunt it successfully, dividing the spoils among the four of them would surely yield a lucrative haul. Hunters rarely get such an excellent opportunity throughout the year.

Gu Erniu called to the three of them in a low voice.

"The usual plan. Ah Ze, you and Uncle Youfu go to the other side and set up the trip rope. I'll take Asheng and drive it from this side!"

Zhang Ze glanced at Gu Sheng, hesitating to say something, but ultimately nodded.

"Don't worry, we've got no issues on our side. We'll wait for your signal." Gu Erniu gave them a reassuring look and watched Zhang Ze and Uncle Youfu crouch and leave.

The wild boar was still wandering among the trees, unaware of the looming danger.

Gu Erniu seized the moment to teach Gu Sheng some hunting knowledge.

"With large beasts like this, their hides are tough. Unless you hit a vital spot, they can easily take seven or eight arrows head-on without a problem. That's why we usually create simple traps."

"If we're lucky enough to trap this wild boar, things will become much easier. Even if we don't trap it, we'll still have a chance to shoot at it."

Seeing Gu Sheng nod, Gu Erniu reiterated:

"When you see me shoot an arrow later, follow suit. Don't make a move too early so we don't alarm this beast."

Both of them patiently waited among the trees.

Elsewhere.

Zhang Ze and Gu Youfu worked quickly, deftly setting up the simple trip rope. As long as the wild boar charged in this direction, it would be easily tripped.

The two exchanged a glance, assuming a combat stance. Zhang Ze curled his fingers and let out a sharp whistle, the distinctive sound reverberating through the dense forest.

Gu Sheng and Gu Erniu were instantly alert!

The signal was here!

At that moment, the wild boar seemed a bit unsettled by the whistle, but the two hunters moved even faster.

In an instant, Gu Sheng entered a state of complete calmness. His body was as steady as a pine tree, and he drew his bow and prepared his arrows.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two sharp whistling sounds rang out almost simultaneously as the arrows sped toward the wild boar like lightning.

The distance from the wild boar was quite far, so neither arrow targeted a vital spot.

Aware of the threat, the wild boar's keen animal instincts immediately kicked in. With a grunt, it began to sprint furiously, its massive body charging forward with surprising speed.

But the arrows were even faster.

They struck from two opposing sides, embedding themselves in the wild boar's back. Its thick hide proved remarkably tough, as the arrows only sank halfway in before getting stuck.

The wild boar, startled, let out a tortured howl and bolted forward at full speed.

Gu Erniu seized the chance, drawing his bow and firing another arrow that hit the boar's right side, forcing it to veer to the left.

Gu Sheng remained incredibly composed, landing an arrow in its left side, further directing its escape path.

Their teamwork was seamless, prompting Gu Erniu to laugh and praise them.

"Good kid! In just half a month without seeing you practice your archery, you've grown this much!"

He was shocked internally, amazed by Gu Sheng's composure in his first hunt, able to perform at such an outstanding level.

This must be a born hunter!

Gu Sheng merely smiled. Now wasn't the time for talking; the two of them accelerated their chase, following the boar's escape route.

The wild boar, with two arrows lodged in its back, was spurred by pain and the sense of danger, running at incredible speed.

All they could see from a distance was its shadow.

Thud!!

With a heavy sound, the wild boar, charging at full speed, suddenly flew through the air and crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and leaving traces of grass and sap smeared across the landscape.

Gu Youfu and Zhang Ze released the trip rope and pursued their advantage.

Their archery skills weren't as refined as Gu Erniu's, but they were close to the level of Small Success.
