Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 138: Shooting the Bone Wolf

"Whoosh."

The wooden arrow shot downwards, hitting one of the beasts right in the eye.

The beast let out a miserable cry and immediately fell to the ground.

Lu Ke also shot an arrow, hitting another one, but it didn’t penetrate its body.

The two consecutive arrows made the audience watching the livestream breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shoot the one that took the arrow in the eye," Xu Yi instructed, immediately pulling the bowstring again.

Lu Ke’s arrow-changing speed was a bit faster than Xu Yi’s; by the time he was drawing his bow, she had already let her arrow fly.

"Got it!" Lu Ke exclaimed excitedly, then continued to load another arrow.

Xu Yi aimed at the same creature and shot again.

The wooden arrow went straight into the beast’s body, causing it to howl in pain repeatedly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The other two glanced at their fallen companion, growled low, then turned and ran away. The one that was left behind could no longer escape, lying on the ground whimpering incessantly.

"They actually ran, quite clever, huh."

"They thought biting bones into pieces was badass, but it seems they’re screwed now!"

"The reason humans are at the top of the food chain is that we can make weapons. Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s weapons are pretty powerful; as long as they can stand and fire a round, almost no animal can escape unscathed!"

"It’s a pity two got away, otherwise they would have hit the jackpot this time. They would have gained not only a lot of dry food but also quite a few points."

"Luckily, these creatures can’t climb trees, otherwise Xu Yi and Lu Ke would be lying there instead."

"Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s counterattack was very timely and strong."

"I still admire Xu Yi’s composure at this time, he didn’t go down immediately but continued to stay on the tree with Lu Ke."

"If those two creatures come back, Lu Ke might not have time to climb back up the tree."

"Could they return? These beasts shouldn’t be that intelligent, right?"

"Who knows, better to be safe than sorry. After all, we don’t have these animals around here, who can guarantee they won’t?"

"Being cautious is never a mistake; I really agree with Xu Yi’s approach here."

As the audience discussed, Xu Yi’s eyes scanned all around.

"Over there." Xu Yi suddenly pointed in a direction for Lu Ke to see. Then, he drew his Hunting Bow and shot an arrow.

The two creatures hadn’t run far; they were lurking in the woods just a few dozen meters away.

Originally, Lu Ke hadn’t seen them, but after Xu Yi’s arrow flew out, she spotted them.

Xu Yi’s arrow shot out with little power, but it startled the two animals.

Lu Ke also shot an arrow, but it missed.

Because they were already frightened away by Xu Yi’s arrow.

"Killed a Bone Wolf, gained 6 points."

A voice echoed simultaneously in Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s minds.

"Not bad, got 6 points, but it’s a pity about losing 12 points," Xu Yi said somewhat regretfully; after all, if those two hadn’t run, they would eventually be killed by him and Lu Ke.

"Didn’t expect they didn’t go far, lucky you stopped me earlier, otherwise I might have been attacked." Lu Ke said with a bit of lingering fear.

She had seen the biting force of a Bone Wolf; it could easily crush bones, and if it bit into her, it could definitely break her bones too.

Animals like to attack the neck, possibly biting the head clean off with one bite.

"In future encounters like this, be more cautious. Some animals are quite savvy in their hunting tactics," Xu Yi advised, then slung his bow over his shoulder and slid down the tree.

Seeing Xu Yi slide down, Lu Ke hung her crossbow at her waist and carefully slid down from the tree.

The Bone Wolf was dead.

Yet, it still looked somewhat intimidating.

After all, it was a size larger than the wolves they had hunted before, as big as a large gray wolf, about 2 meters in length, weighing 70-80 kilograms.

"Pack up the meat, and let’s head back," Xu Yi glanced at the time; it was past two o’clock, and they should be heading back, otherwise, they might not make it to camp before dark.

"What about the Bone Wolf?" Lu Ke eyed the over hundred-pound Bone Wolf, unsure of Xu Yi’s intentions.

"We’ll carry it back; it would be such a waste to leave this much meat. At the very least, we need to stockpile enough jerky for two months before considering abandoning any prey," Xu Yi explained, then packed the freshly cut meat into the basket.

Hearing Xu Yi’s words, Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried Xu Yi might leave the Bone Wolf behind.

Quickly, the two of them packed the meat slices into the basket.

After covering the campfire with soil, Xu Yi hoisted the Bone Wolf’s body onto his shoulder.

On the way back, Lu Ke had to stay alert. After all, with Xu Yi carrying the Bone Wolf’s body, it would be hard for him to quickly draw the Hunting Bow to shoot.

To make it back before dark, both Lu Ke and Xu Yi moved quickly.

"Do you want to rest for a bit, Xu Yi?" Lu Ke worried that Xu Yi might struggle with carrying the nearly two-hundred-pound Bone Wolf.

"No need, this weight is nothing for me. Maybe you can carry it too." Xu Yi chuckled, given that Lu Ke had also been injected with the Body Enhancement Agent, and with daily practice of the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, her stamina should be strong.

However, saying Lu Ke could carry it was naturally an exaggeration.

He thought Lu Ke might manage to carry something over a hundred pounds, and that would already be impressive.

Lu Ke nodded upon hearing his words.

She hadn’t tested the limits of her own strength, maybe she really could do it?

In any case, carrying the meat in her basket wasn’t a strain at all.

"Have some water, then let’s keep going." With that, Xu Yi put down the Bone Wolf’s body and took a plastic bag of water from his satchel.

After Xu Yi finished drinking, he handed the water to Lu Ke.

"Xu Yi, wait for me a moment, I need to... relieve myself." Lu Ke said, her face slightly flushed.

"Alright, be careful, don’t go too far." Xu Yi said calmly, handing his machete to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke took the machete and walked off to the side.

Her camera ball didn’t follow her; it was quite smart, after all.

A few minutes later, Lu Ke returned.

"Xu Yi, there’s bamboo over there." Lu Ke exclaimed excitedly; she knew Xu Yi had always hoped to find bamboo, but they hadn’t seen any for over a month.

"Great, where is it?" Xu Yi responded happily; this was really good news.

With bamboo, they could make more tools.

"Over there, follow me." With that, Lu Ke led Xu Yi into the woods.

As a result, Xu Yi not only discovered bamboo but also found...
