Chapter 7 (1/2)

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.
