Chapter 42: Can’t Be Sold for Much Money
However, that was not possible with her current physique. No matter how skilled she was, it was useless since she had a weak body now—she probably couldn’t even fight against a wild boar, let alone several of them.
She had no choice but to set up a trap. At least she was still smart!
Sure enough, a few moments later, she heard the series of low grunts reemerge from a distance. An Jiuyue hid nearby with a machete in her hand, ready to strike whenever necessary.
The largest wild boar seemed to have caught a whiff of the food and walked ahead of its group. Step by step, it carefully approached the spot where three ropes were laid out.
Squinting her eyes, An Jiuyue watched as the big wild boar stepped onto two separate ropes, which were arranged in different directions, with its front and hind legs.
An Jiuyue was silent.
Mister Wild Boar, can’t you position yourself a little better? You should step on the two ropes that are in the same direction so that I can go over and pull the ropes to catch you!
However, she was not worried yet because she had placed enough food for it to eat for a long time.
After a while, another wild boar squeezed its way over, nudging the other boar aside, and started eating.
The big wild boar looked up, saw the smaller boar, and did not chase it away. With that, the two largest boars in the group began eating together.
Things were moving according to An Jiuyue’s wishes. The two wild boars’ hooves were soon caught in the knot.
She took a deep breath from her hiding spot before secretly lifting the rope around the wild boar’s hooves and tightening it. The wild boar could not sense it because it was eating happily and also had thick layers of skin.
Suddenly, a small wild boar was caught by a hunting trap while looking for food. It let out a piercing shriek.
The two large boars were frightened and began running. Chaos ensued at once.
An Jiuyue heard a mechanical snap sound before the two boars ran in panic. As they were doing so, they straightened their legs and tugged at the knots on the ropes. The heavy rocks fell while the two boars were lifted one after another.
The other smaller wild boars were also caught by the hunting traps. They stopped moving after struggling for a while.
When everything settled down and only a couple of muffled sounds from the wild boars were heard, An Jiuyue finally walked out. She looked up at the two big boars hanging on the tree, feeling rather gloomy.
One of the boars had a leg caught by a hunting trap. But it was such a huge boar that it basically dragged the hunting trap along with it. Luckily, it was lifted up altogether in the end.
The other boar did not suffer a single scratch and was simply lifted by the ropes.
There were a few smaller wild boars that were suspended in mid-air too. They were not injured at all either. It was impossible for her to rear them though.
“Master, those wild boars are too small. They can’t be sold for much money. Why don’t we sell them to the Points Mall?” Wei Na reminded her.
“Sell them?” An Jiuyue’s eyes lit up.
That’s right! Why didn’t I think of selling the wild boars at the Points Mall?
