Facing the wild boar, whose eyes glowed red and charged with fierce momentum, Jiang Hao wasn't in a hurry.
He drew two arrows from his quiver, gripping them between his fingers.
He didn't nock them on the bowstring, simply watching the wild boar charge.
Heitandou, hiding in the War Tree, could clearly see the wild boar's sharp tusks glinting with a cold light.
Gulp~
Heitandou couldn't help but swallow, while also widening his eyes, ready to see how Jiang Hao planned to respond.
Just as the wild boar was about to collide with Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao moved.
Heitandou, clinging to the War Tree, gasped aloud.
"Holy crap, that was incredibly cool!"
In his eyes, Jiang Hao had been dancing on the edge of a knife.
But at the most dangerous moment, he confidently turned to dodge the wild boar while quickly drawing his bow and firing two arrows.
It was just like a Spanish bullfighter, elegant and highly spectacular.
No, even more elegant than a Spanish bullfighter.
After all, Jiang Hao's speed in firing two arrows was so fast that Heitandou couldn't even see it clearly.
However, the lethality of the stone arrowheads was still too low; even with close-range shots, the arrowheads penetrated no more than ten centimeters.
For a thick-skinned wild boar, this could only be considered a minor injury.
Sure enough, with two arrows embedded in each side, the wild boar charged about ten meters before coming to an abrupt stop.
As if nothing had happened, it turned around and roared again, charging towards Jiang Hao.
"My goodness, that didn't even faze it! Is this monster's health bar too thick?" Heitandou was shocked again.
Just as he thought Jiang Hao would once again replicate his cool, rapid archery, Jiang Hao instead slung his bow over his shoulder and casually pulled out the short spear stuck nearby.
Heitandou didn't know why Jiang Hao would abandon his ranged advantage and choose close combat.
But the wild boar, charging again, soon showed him why.
The wild boar charging again wasn't as fast as the first time.
Jiang Hao easily dodged its charging attack, and the wild boar immediately swung its head, its sharp tusks glinting as it fiercely lunged at him.
However, no matter how fiercely the wild boar attacked, it couldn't harm Jiang Hao in the slightest.
Amidst his dodges and maneuvers, Jiang Hao continuously stabbed the wild boar's already wounded side chest with the long spear in his hand, aiming to widen the wound.
After five minutes of continuous bleeding, the wild boar, with its injured lungs, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Its charging speed became slower and slower, and Jiang Hao seized the opportunity.
The short spear directly entered its heart, ending the wild boar's suffering.
Seeing the battle end, Heitandou also slid down the War Tree and came to Jiang Hao's side.
Seeing the wild boar lying on the ground, covered in blood and still twitching occasionally, he couldn't help but marvel again at how realistic this game was.
"Did you learn anything?" Jiang Hao's voice came.
This pulled Heitandou's thoughts back.
"Uh, well..." Heitandou was speechless. Could Jiang Hao's movements, his agile dodging and attacking, really be learned just by watching?
The system didn't even have a skill prompt, nor did it say anything about learning skills.
Jiang Hao naturally knew why he was embarrassed.
"I wasn't talking about my combat techniques just now; those require long-term practice from you."
Before Heitandou could retort, Jiang Hao continued seriously, "I believe you've seen that these wild beasts have extremely powerful attacks.
Hunting is not limited to direct combat with prey; you can set traps, or cooperate with companions for a group hunt.
If you don't have my strength and skill, I don't recommend you fight wild beasts directly."
Heitandou then understood that the NPC was telling him through practical demonstration:
Don't underestimate these monsters. With the way they're used to playing online games, they'd just rush in when they see a monster.
The consequences, without even thinking, would definitely be a complete wipe.
"Yes! I understand, Chief!" Heitandou immediately stood at attention, simultaneously raising his right hand and hitting his chest.
A hint of exasperation flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.
But he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Now that the first lesson is over, you need to figure out how to transport this prey back to the Camp. This is everyone's food; it cannot be lost."
...Heitandou looked at the wild boar, which weighed at least four hundred catties, and for a moment, he was a little doubtful.
But before he could ask, Jiang Hao had already retrieved the two still-intact arrows from the wild boar's body, checked their arrowheads, and set off again.
He didn't explain where he was going, leaving only Heitandou and the troublesome wild boar carcass.
After walking a distance, Jiang Hao pushed off with his feet and leaped onto a War Tree.
Then he quickly moved between the War Trees, looking like someone from a certain village traveling.
Lilith, who had flown far away during the battle, sat even faster on Jiang Hao's shoulder.
"Master, what are we doing now?"
Jiang Hao looked ahead, saying casually while traveling, "Blue Rabbit is a fierce beast, not something the Players can face yet. We'll go deal with it and patrol the surroundings to eliminate safety hazards."
"Okay, Master."
"What strange tone have you learned online again?"
"Isn't it cute this way, Master?"
Seeing his BOSS just abandon the prey and run off, Heitandou scratched his head and first tried to see if he could pull the wild boar.
But as he expected, no matter how hard he tried, the wild boar didn't budge.
Finally, he decided to go back and call for help.
Coincidentally, the four people who had been collecting stones had also returned to the Camp.
Hearing about moving the prey, everyone put down what they were doing and went together.
It took quite an effort to finally move the prey back to the Camp.
"The Chief said this wild boar is our food."
Looking at the wild boar laid on the ground, the few of them were in a dilemma again.
"It seems on the first day of the game, we're facing a survival problem. We have nothing now; we need to process this guy. First, we need fire and sharp tools for cutting."
Finally, everyone discussed and decided to divide the tasks.
Some were striking stones to make stone knives, some were collecting firewood, and some were attempting to make fire by rubbing sticks.
In short, everyone got busy.
Time often passes quickly when one is focused on something.
As the sun set in the west, Jiang Hao also returned to the Camp.
However, as soon as he saw these few Players, Jiang Hao couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.
The originally clean Camp had been made a mess by this group of people.
Especially the area where they processed the wild boar, it was even more unbearable to look at.
The few of them also noticed Jiang Hao, immediately dropped what they were doing, and eagerly gathered around him.
"Chief, you're back."
"Chief, you've worked hard."
...
Jiang Hao casually handed a package wrapped in leaves from his back to Never Empty Force, who was closest, and instructed, "Inside are some fruits I picked. Everyone, share and eat."
Regarding the high AI of NPCs, they had already discussed it today and felt that this was also a groundbreaking technology for this game.
So, when Never Empty Force received the package from Jiang Hao, he extended both hands and accepted it very respectfully.
His fawning manner made Lilith, who was sitting on Jiang Hao's shoulder, recall a palace drama she had recently watched from Earth, where there was always a person like that.
Only that person spoke with a strange tone.
She had imitated two lines and was scolded by her Master.
Jiang Hao also looked at Never Empty Force a few more times.
It wasn't just him; the others were pretty much the same.
Facing their enthusiastic attempts to get close, Jiang Hao didn't show much expression but began to settle their tasks.
However, seeing the stone axes and stone knives they had made, Jiang Hao almost complained about how crude these stone tools were.
To avoid dampening their enthusiasm, Jiang Hao could only give the lowest experience reward.
But this still made the Players incredibly happy.
"Everyone, it's almost dark. I hope you all clean up quickly and return to the safe zone."
Although a few of them still hadn't had enough fun, the BOSS had spoken.
At the same time, a prompt appeared on their game interface, requesting them to go offline within ten minutes.
They could only do a simple cleanup and follow Jiang Hao into the Elf Tree.
Jiang Hao didn't remind them that they should clean up the things outside, especially the wild boar remains they left behind.
After all, they needed to experience some real lessons to understand certain principles themselves.
Only after seeing the Players lying back in their cultivation pods and going offline did Jiang Hao go upstairs to his room.
First, he took a comfortable hot shower.
As for how the hot water came, it was, of course, supplied directly by the Elf Tree by consuming Soul Power.
After washing, he sat at his desk, logged into his Penguin account, and planned to check the Players' reactions.
