Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 1122 - Anthropoid Ape Sun Mo

Chapter 1122: Anthropoid Ape Sun Mo

During the fourth day, Sun Mo encountered the papaya girl. However, it seemed that they had used up all their luck. There was no prey caught in the 16 traps.
“Luckily, I have a bow and arrows now.”
Sun Mo had tested the bow and arrows. Although the deviation of the arrows was pretty large, Sun Mo was ultimately a grandmaster-level archer. He could guarantee that there was an 80% chance of him being able to hit his target when he shot within 30 meters.
Woosh~
A wooden arrow flew out and shot the neck of a rabbit. It twitched a little and stopped moving.
“Oh, yay!”
The papaya girl cheered and ran over to pick up the rabbit. After using a rope to tie it properly, she hung it from her waist.
“Teacher, your bow and arrows are really good to use. Can you make one set for me?”
Lu Zhiruo asked and passed the arrow back to Sun Mo.
(Ai! I really shouldn’t have doubted Teacher! Even a wooden rod in his hands can become a divine weapon containing boundless might.)
At this moment, Sun Mo’s position in the papaya girl’s heart had reached an unprecedented height.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo didn’t mind it. Even if Lu Zhiruo wasn’t able to shoot accurately, she could become a portion of psychological pressure if there was a need to use a battle strategy.
During the evening, Sun Mo and Lu Zhiruo returned to the cave. They could finally eat their fill.
Today, they had hunted a total of three wild pheasants, two rabbits, and looted over 20 bird eggs from six nests. This was enough for them to eat for a week.
“We will explore further tomorrow.”
Sun Mo asked Lu Zhiruo to sleep early, while he made a set of bow and arrows for her. At the same time, he used the grease of the food to bind the bird feathers onto the tail-end of the arrows.
During the second morning, the two of them brought five days worth of rations and set off, beginning their first deep exploration.
Lu Zhiruo tossed a branch up in the air and after it landed, the notched side was pointing toward the west.
“Teacher, why don’t you choose another path?”
Lu Zhiruo was worried she might lead them to a bad place.
“No need, let’s head in the direction you picked.”
Sun Mo was clearer than anyone else how unlucky he was.
The two of them walked and rested. When afternoon came, other than meeting a leopard, they didn’t encounter any large-sized beasts. On the contrary, they could hunt various small animals.
Now, Lu Zhiruo’s waist was already filled with prey. From far, it would look as though she was wearing a leather skirt.
Because of the tall trees in the dense forest, the sky seemed to darken faster than usual.
When evening came, Sun Mo suddenly heard a loud roar.
It was so loud that birds and beasts fled rapidly in all directions.
Yet, Sun Mo felt his spirits stirring.
“Let’s go!”
The tiger’s roar was filled with anger. Maybe the king of a hundred beasts was currently fighting against some other large-type ferocious beasts. If that was the case, Sun Mo felt that he might be able to benefit from hiding in the shadows.
Ten minutes later, Sun Mo’s vision opened up and he saw a huge lake.
So, that tiger was driving the other wild beasts that were drinking the water away.
Sun Mo hid by the underbrush and saw a white ferocious tiger slowly walking away. Behind it, there was the corpse of a brown bear lying near the lake.
“We can eat bear paws tonight.”
Sun Mo was very happy. He suppressed his feelings of agitation and after waiting for ten minutes more, confirming that the white tiger had truly left, he then walked toward the brown bear’s corpse.
Swish~
Sun Mo took out the stone dagger.
Lu Zhiruo knew her combat strength was low. So, she had passed her sharpest weapon to Sun Mo.
“The bear’s skin isn’t bad. We can make two leather shirts with more remaining to spare.”
Sun Mo squatted beside the bear corpse. Just when he wanted to act, the brown bear suddenly lifted its arm and smacked its paw over.
Hu~
The smack was extremely powerful, strong enough to open mountains and crack rocks.
“Damn, it’s feigning death!”
Sun Mo jumped in fright. His face was almost torn off, and there were now three scratches on it. If his reaction had been slightly slower, his entire head would have been knocked off.
It was inadvisable to go closer. Sun Mo pulled on his bow and wanted to shoot it to death.
“Teacher!”
Lu Zhiruo grabbed Sun Mo’s arm. “It’s so pitiful, can you let it go?”
Sun Mo frowned.
Roar!
The brown bear roared at Sun Mo, wanting to scare him away.
“It is a mummy bear that just gave birth. If it dies, the baby bear will also die for sure.”
Lu Zhiruo pleaded.
“There’s still a baby bear?”
Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for the lucky mascot’s pure and innocent gaze, Sun Mo really wanted to say something like ‘Let us go capture the baby bear so we can use it as food reserve.’
“You don’t have to be afraid. My teacher is very kind, he won’t hurt you.”
Lu Zhiruo spoke with the brown bear and slowly moved closer to it. She waved the herbs in her hands. “Look, I have some medicinal herbs that can help you staunch your bleeding!”
These herbs were something Sun Mo picked on the way here.
The papaya girl picked up two stones nearby and crushed the herbs. After that, she applied them to the bear’s neck as there was a huge wound there.
The white tiger was already full. When it had come for a drink, it had seen the brown bear, and that was why a fight had occurred. To the tiger, this was the territory that it had marked with its pee. All intruders had to die.
Luckily, the tiger wasn’t hungry, or the brown bear would have died for sure.
As Lu Zhiruo took care of the bear, Sun Mo started to explore the lake.
There were fish and shrimp inside. Sun Mo could make a grass enclosing frame and place it in the waters to catch them.
Also, since there was a water source, there would be a large number of wild beasts gathering here. It would be much easier for him to find food.
Sun Mo saw a group of deers and a bunch of wild ducks. In shallower waters not far away, he even saw many wild birds.
“Indeed, water is the origin of life!”
Sun Mo was very happy.
From the cave to this place, they needed a two-day journey. It was too far. Hence, Sun Mo decided to just stay near here.
The only regret was that he hadn’t discovered salt.
Just as Sun Mo was pondering over whether he should capture a deer to use as his mount, Lu Zhiruo’s nervous screams suddenly rang out.
“Teacher, there’s a wild boar!”
Sun Mo immediately chased after it.
A pair of tusks came out from the bushes. This was a wild boar the size of a small mountain. It was currently staring at Lu Zhiruo and the brown bear.
The mummy bear bared its teeth and let out a low growl from its throat.
Lu Zhiruo took a throwing spear and tossed it. Sadly, this item wouldn’t be able to pierce the thick hide of the wild boar’s body.
“Zhiruo, flee!”
The moment Sun Mo saw the boar, he no longer wanted to fight.
Wild boars would rub their bodies against pine trees, and after their fur was coated with rosin, they would roll around stones, grass, and mud. And after a long time, a hard shell would form over their bodies.
Other than its eyes and underbelly skin, the wild boar’s body had no other flaws.
Right now, Sun Mo was wielding a primitive bow. There was basically no way he could penetrate the boar’s defense.
“But what about the mummy bear?”
Lu Zhiruo was conflicted.
“We have done our best. Let’s just let it to its fate!”
Sun Mo was helpless and aimed his arrow at the boar’s eyes.
Woosh~
The wooden arrow shot out.
Roar!
The wild boar roared in a low voice and evaded it. At the next instant, a second arrow shot into its nose.
Sadly, the arrow wasn’t strong enough to penetrate its flesh.
Roar!
The wild boar charged.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Sun Mo unleashed a series of arrows that kept striking at the boar’s head. However, the killing prowess was too weak. It lasted until the boar got close to the bear before an arrow finally shot into its eyes.
Ji!
The wild boar screamed in misery. Due to the injury, when it knocked into the bear, it wasn’t able to block the paw strike from the bear and was sent flying.
The wild boar struggled a little. It climbed up and looked at the bear and Sun Mo before retreating into the forest.
It wanted to grab the corpse but didn’t expect to ram its toes into a steel board.
“Teacher, quickly save it. Mummy bear is about to die!”
Lu Zhiruo saw the wound on the brown bear growing worse and worse.
