646 A Bet About Hunting
Toys for kids?
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei's comment about the hunting weapon, everyone was angry.
"Bastard! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that we all are kids?"
"This bastard is just trying to act tough in front of us! He can't even use a crossbow! I wonder why Wen Yuan would like a guy like him!"
"Clearly, he is trying to act all masculine and stuff! Wenyuan will definitely leave him if she finds out that he is just a wuss!"
"With the way he acts, he is worse than a wuss! Let's not argue with people like him!"
.....
The crowd was mocking him in a condescending manner.
"Ms. Wen, come with us. I will make sure you get to enjoy this hunting trip to the fullest! With the animals that we are about to hunt down, I'm pretty we will have a table of delicious dishes tonight!"
Seeing that there was an opportunity to please Wenyuan, Zhou Huajiang acted upon it immediately.
"Nope! My boyfriend is more powerful than you think! I'll be fine."
"Him? He is a wuss that can't use a crossbow! What can he provide for you? He might need to work for us in the future!"
"You are the wuss! If you think you are so good, come and compete with my boyfriend! Criticize him whatever way you like after you defeat him!"
"What did you just say? Compete with him? You've got to be kidding!"
"What now? You don't have the balls?"
"Haha! Ms. Wen! You are so adorable! My balls are made of steel! Well, just don't call me a bully after I defeat him! I come here every three days to hunt! Almost every time, I would end up with a fruitful result! With my hunting skill, I'm completely qualified to become a hunting guide! You don't have anything on me!"
Again, the crowd laughed at Chen Xiaobei. To them, he was going to lose the competition no matter what.
"Let's move on. A competition like this has no meaning. Master Zhou's hunting skill is almost on the same level as me. Let alone kid like you! Not even an ordinary hunter can be compared to Master Zhou!"
The crowd looked down on Chen Xiaobei even more after listening to Brother Liu's compliment. Even Wenyuan was shaken now. She knew that Chen Xiaobei's combat power was really high but this competition was about hunting skills. She was worried that Chen Xiaobei would beat himself down if he lost in this competition.
As usual, Chen Xiaobei stared at Brother Liu in a calm manner.
"With that being said, it seems like you are the best hunter here."
"That's right! How can I help you?" asked Brother Liu pridefully.
"Come and compete with me. The rest of them are not qualified to challenge me!"
"What?!"
The crowd was taken aback after hearing Chen Xiaobei's bold claim.
"Motherf*cker! Can you not act tough anymore?! F*ck!"
"Remember! You are just a piece of garbage! You should feel honored if any of us here accept your challenge!"
"You want to compete with Brother Liu? I must say that you are overconfident!"
.....
"Everyone! Calm down! I shall accept his challenge since Mr. Chen insists on competing with me! However, I don't normally accept challenges like this! There needs to be prize if you want to challenge me!"
"What kind of prize you want?"
"Easy. Break up with Ms. Wen if you lose! A weakling like you does not deserve her!"
Clearly, Brother Liu was doing Zhong Huajiang a great favor. Upon hearing that, Zhou Huajiang was really pleased. He responded to his favor with a grateful look on his face.
"Alright! What if I win in this competition?"
"This is the key to my newly bought Ferrari! It's yours if you win in this competition!"
Without waiting for Brother Liu to reply, Zhou Huajiang took the initiative to offer his car as the prize. Everyone's breathing intensified after witnessing Zhou Huajiang's bold move. That car cost around four million. Thought most of them were rich young men, they could only dream of owning a car like that.
The smart ones would know that Zhou Huajiang was just trying to show off his boldness. Clearly, he did not think Chen Xiaobei would win in the competition. He was more than willing to offer his life as the prize if Chen Xiaobei asked him to do so.
To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head and said, "Okay! Challenge accepted!"
"Great! That is just great! Let's go now!"
Feeling happy, Zhou Huajiang had already seen himself as the winner of this competition. On the other hand, the rest of the people were looking at Chen Xiaobei and thought that he was an idiot.
After that, all of them left the wooden house and entered the jungle. The winner of a hunting competition would naturally be determined by the animals that they killed. After a simple discussion, both of them had decided that the size of their game was going to determine the winner for this hunting competition. Brother Liu was walking in front of the team. On the other hand, the other three guides were guiding the horse carts in the direction that they were heading. Eight hunting hounds were following behind them – making the whole thing look really grand!
All of them enjoyed themselves immensely from killing birds and rabbits. Under the guidance of Zhou Huajiang and three other guides, they did manage to kill quite a number of small animals that roamed around the jungle – it was more than enough for dinner.
Chen Xiaobei and Wenyuan were following behind them with a good distance between them.
"Xiaobei… Are you going to lose in this competition? It's my bad! I shouldn't have mentioned any competition! I have forgotten that they are really good at hunting!"
Clearly, Wenyuan had lost the mood to enjoy the hunt anymore. Her joy was replaced by worry.
"Don't worry. Just let them enjoy the moment while they still can afford to do so. I will be the last winner!"
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
Suddenly, the hunting hounds were barking non-stop.
"What happened?"
Everyone felt tense up suddenly.
"The hunting hounds are giving us a warning! Dangers are closing in on us!" said Zhou Huajiang.
"No way. We just entered the jungle not too long ago. The real danger is normally hidden in the deeper part of the jungle," said Brother Liu.
"Brother Liu… Normally, why would hunting hounds bark like this? Like what kind of danger?" asked Xia Tao in a fearful manner.
"The hunting hounds that we train are not afraid of wolves! However, they could smell a bear or tiger miles away. That's why they bark non-stop!"
"Tigers and bears? Dear lord…"
"The most terrifying animal in this jungle is not a bear and tiger! It's a wild boar!"
Speak of the devil!
A wild boar was standing several hundred meters in front of them!
"Wild… Wild boar!"
Everyone was taken aback, including Brother Liu!
