After midnight, the bonfire on the beach was still glowing.
Most of the people around the fire returned to the boat to rest at this time, to recuperate for the upcoming hunting competition.
When the night faded and the dawn came, a red sun rose from the sea level on the east side, replacing the campfire to illuminate the beach.
The rising tide swept through, drowned the embers of the bonfire, and the white waves washed the beach, sweeping away all the garbage left by the carnival last night together with the ashes.
The sandy beach reflected by the sun was golden and splendid, and it became completely new.
On the morning of July 3, when the rising sun rose above the mast, the 1620 "Leiden Port Hunting Competition" also officially kicked off.
People disembarked one after another and returned to Jin Cancan's beach again. The next schedule was different.
The rich and the nobles took their families, sunbathing on the beach, surfing, fishing, flirting, and swarms of servants waiting.
Tired of playing, go back to the ship to eat, play cards, sleep, and enjoy a leisurely holiday.
On the beach, there are also many single girls dressed up in flowery styles, most of them are senior prostitutes who have bought third-class tickets and come to the island to do romantic business.
These "migratory birds" like communicative flowers, expecting to hook up with a handsome and lover of gold during the golden period of this tourist holiday, and to talk about love and to take a generous extra money.
Only a few stay on the beach to enjoy the summer sunshine. Most people choose to participate in hunting competitions. They are fully armed, holding hounds and teaming up to the jungle deep in the island.
There are nearly 400 teams participating in this hunting competition, more than half of which are composed of professional mercenaries and accepted by the rich and nobles in the city.
For the next six days, the wild boar they hunted must be recorded under the employer's name-even if the other party lay on the beach and basked in the sun during the hunting festival, drinking, gambling, and playing women on the cruise, they never stepped into the forest. step.
The brothers Joan, Thomas and Dindale also led the four hounds and followed the big troops out of the safe area.
A group of people walked through a security belt composed of walls and trenches, along the "safari river" into the dense forest, and advanced towards the "wild boar island".
Hundreds of hunters can be seen everywhere on the riverside, with gunshots coming and going, mixed with the cry of the wild boar and the cheers of the hunters.
However, more hunters have not had the opportunity to see live boars so far, and they have privately complained that "there are more people than pigs."
Everyone knows that if you want to hit more prey, you can only try your luck away from the crowd. However, there are only a handful of teams who dare to stay away from the river beach and venture into the jungle to find prey.
Joan, they belong to the category of bad luck.
The four of them woke up early in the morning with hope. As a result, they walked along the beach for two hours without seeing a live pig. Instead, they often saw dead pigs floating down the river.
These wild boars were apparently shortly after being hunted, floating and floating on the surface of the river. The blood stained the water of the nearby river and went straight to the downstream.
Joan was very puzzled when he saw this scene. After asking Thomas, he knew that the hunting team in front of him hunted the wild boar, cut the tail and marked it, and then pushed the body of the boar down the river and let it drift downstream. .
Near the estuary downstream, the river channel has been intercepted by the workers hired by the organizers of the tournament with layers of fishing nets, and the long boar rods with iron hooks dragged the drifting boar carcasses ashore to the dock warehouse for unified storage.
The warehouse specially designed for storing fresh food has a magic enchantment. The internal temperature is kept below the freezing point, which can preserve wild boar for a long time without rot and deterioration.
When the hunting contest is over, the hunters return to the pier, and they can use their "secret mark" to collect their own loot.
This has two advantages.
The first is that it is not necessary to carry cumbersome prey with you. During the six-day hunting process, you can pack lightly to expand the range of hunting and increase the efficiency of hunting.
Secondly, even if they can't get into the top three of the competition in the end, they can't get medals and bonuses, at least they can get back the wild boar stored in the refrigerated warehouse of the dock, and they won't be busy.
Joan and others each led a hound and walked along the beach.
Over time, the sun rises above the head, and the hot sun shines down, and the hounds are all hot and stretch their tongues.
Joan, they were all sweating too, and after a short walk, they stopped to wash their faces by the river.
Wild boars drifting down the river are like small boats lined up. Although the river water will not be seriously polluted, it takes some courage to drink the river water that contains pig blood and excrement.
The Dingdall brothers who grew up in the countryside didn't pay much attention to this. When they were thirsty, they drunk at the riverside.
Thomas took the river and sniffed it carefully. Although he couldn't smell anything, he still had no courage to swallow.
Joan saw that Thomas was worried about the unhealthy river water, so he handed over the "Endless Water Bag" and told him that this magic water bag can produce clean water continuously, enough for everyone to drink daily.
"Great! At this time, there is no need to drink river water with the smell of wild boar!"
Thomas took the water bag gratefully, unscrewed the plug and poured clean water into the cup he carried with him, drank it in one breath, and burped with satisfaction.
At this time, there was a sudden howl in the bushes in front, followed by gunfire, barking and fighting sounds.
Thomas jumped up quickly, looking excitedly at the violently shaking bushes not far away.
The Dindal brothers also hurried from the river.
"what's the situation?"
"Someone is fighting wild boar, it sounds like there are still a lot of wild boar!"
"Look at it in the past, maybe there is a chance to open it!"
The four accelerated their pace and ran to the place where the fighting sound came, and they saw a large group of wild boars rushing through the bushes.
A hunting team is fighting with the pigs.
Faced with the siege of no fewer than ten adult wild boars, the four obviously had no support and had to fight back.
After the two strong men with large shields in the team were responsible for the break, the shooter holding the magic crystal shotgun and the robe-made mage retreated towards the river under the cover of his teammates.
This hunting squad consists of two warriors, a ranger and a mage.
Around them, in the thick bushes, no less than ten ferocious wild boars howling and chasing, looking very dangerous,
"Hi ~ friend, do you need our help?"
Thomas played a 0-ring trick "Amplification" and shouted at the four hunters under siege by the wild boar.
However, the other party did not know whether it was timeless to answer or unwilling to let out his prey, and he ignored the kind-hearted inquiry, but the pace of retreating slowed down.
The gunman turned to pull the trigger and knocked down a wild boar that was approaching.
"Yal!"
The mage chanted the mantra, and instantly summoned a large group of red bats, rushed to the back of the wild boar, biting the back of the neck with fangs, trying to blood.
