Chapter 341: A Hua
Lin Xi: "..."
"President, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Yan, seeing Lin Xi's expression was somewhat strange, asked.
As a subordinate, one must always be adept at reading expressions and understanding moods, to alleviate the leader's worries and difficulties.
"No, it's nothing." Lin Xi quickly shook her head.
Originally, Lin Xi had out of sympathy, let Su Chen go and help that pitiful woman.
Who would have thought, that pitiful woman actually turned out to be so beautiful.
Does this guy naturally possess some kind of attribute that attracts beautiful women?
Su Chen already had too many beautiful women around him, and in this environment, it was extremely easy for these women to become dependent on, and admire Su Chen...
Although Lin Xi was very confident in herself, still, seeing Su Chen surrounded by a group of women every day, among whom there was Xia Yan who didn't know the slightest bit of restraint... It was ultimately a bit uncomfortable for her heart.
Where would Xia Yan know that her efforts in trying to show off had already been listed in Lin Xi's heart as an extremely dangerous existence?
Actually, not only Xia Yan herself was unaware, but the other women also felt that her relationship with Su Chen was a bit too intimate.
For instance, whispering in Su Chen's ear.
Or pinching Su Chen's waist with her fingers...
And exchanging risqué jokes with Su Chen...
All such behavior was very much like that between couples.
And this, Xia Yan was completely oblivious to.
Perhaps it's true that the player is too involved to see clearly, while the spectator sees the game best.
Of course, the reason Xia Yan behaved that way towards Su Chen might not be because she truly fell for Su Chen.
But because she knew that Su Chen had found out the box was hers.
Since the most embarrassing thing had been known by Su Chen, what was there left to worry about?
One peaceful day, Su Chen wandered around in the woods for a while, then found some materials suitable for making bow and arrows.
The most suitable wood for making bows and arrows was of course purpleheart wood, which is both hard and flexible.
But purpleheart wood is not always obtainable, he only found oak.
However, it could barely be used.
He carved the oak with a small knife to the shape of a bow's back, then soaked it with his refined Fish Glue, which greatly enhanced its toughness.
Finally, he pulled out a piece of string from the woman's rope and tied it into a bowstring.
A simple longbow was thus made.
The overall length of the bow and arrows was about one and a half meters, almost as tall as the women.
There was no choice, to make a bow out of wood, it had to be big to achieve the desired flexibility.
Then he made some arrows.
Most were sharpened wood as substitutes, but there were two metal Iron Arrow.
These were for Su Chen to use against large predators.
For ordinary wild animals, wood was enough to pierce through their bodies.
Like wild rabbits and wild chickens.
But for wild boars, wild buffalo and the like, with thicker hides, metal Arrow were necessary to pierce through.
With this thing, Su Chen could hunt some other animals.
After all, eating fish all the time was not exciting.
And moreover, should they encounter indigenous people, they could also engage in combat.
After ensuring everyone could take care of themselves, he headed towards the deeper parts of the forest.
Preparing to hunt some other wild animals, or to encounter the so-called indigenous people.
The island's resources were fairly rich.
Just about a kilometer inland, Su Chen found plenty of coconuts, pineapples, bananas, and some other fruits.
However, one kilometer was already quite deep.
This place was where indigenous people made their presence.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any indigenous people.
Su Chen knocked down a coconut, cracked it open and drank.
Although there was filtered freshwater to drink, but how could that taste compare to the sweet and delicious coconut?
Hmm, I'll bring a few back for the ladies when I return.
After quenching his thirst, Su Chen continued on his way.
Soon, he spotted a plump wild rabbit.
He gently nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and released.
Thud!
The wooden arrow struck the rabbit's belly directly.
Su Chen had initially aimed for the head.
But due to the poor accuracy of the wooden arrowhead, it hit the belly instead.
The rabbit didn't die immediately; fleeing quickly with a two-foot-long wooden arrow.
Swearing under his breath, Su Chen gave chase.
He didn't want to miss out on such a tasty meal.
These days, he felt like he could barely taste his food anymore.
Surprisingly, the rabbit had a good amount of stamina; even with an arrow through its belly, it managed to run several hundred meters before Su Chen caught up with it.
"Well done, little fellow, you sure are fast!" Su Chen picked up the now-dead wild rabbit.
He tied it to his waist with a rope and continued hunting.
Before long, Su Chen encountered a wild pheasant.
After becoming more familiar with the bow and arrow, he shot the wild pheasant directly in the neck this time, pinning it to the ground.
In just over half an hour, Su Chen had secured several types of game.
It was time to improve their meals significantly.
Just as he was about to head back, he was attracted by a large creature.
It was as big as a calf, a spotted wild boar!
It seemed to weigh five or six hundred pounds.
Su Chen calculated that its hide was thick and that it wouldn't be easy to kill with an Iron Arrow.
But since he had seen it, he couldn't let it go.
If he could bring this creature back, it would be enough food for ten days.
After all, there was a group of people relying on him for meals.
The female CEO, the female pilot, the flight attendant, Xia Yan, that's four, plus Xiao Ling and Xiao Li, that's six, and a beautiful bank manager.
There were a total of eight people to feed.
Even though the women didn't eat much, their daily consumption was not small.
He had to get more food.
The wild boar was foraging on the ground, presenting its plump backside to Su Chen.
Su Chen quietly picked up the Iron Arrow and slowly approached.
To kill this creature, the best shot would be a vital hit.
Otherwise, its death throes would give Su Chen a tough time.
Without his Inner Strength restored, he couldn't take on a large wild boar alone.
Finally, Su Chen found an opportunity and aimed for the boar's eye.
Whoosh!
With the Iron Arrowhead he made himself, the arrow shot explosively towards the boar.
However, the boar seemed to hear the sound of the arrow piercing the air and bolted forward.
Thud!
The Iron Arrow didn't hit the boar's eye but struck its back instead.
It penetrated just over an inch, hardly affecting the boar.
Damn it, as expected, thick-skinned and tough-fleshed.
Struck by an arrow, the boar immediately turned its head and charged at Su Chen angrily.
A head-on confrontation? This could be a good opportunity!
Su Chen immediately nocked the arrow to the string, ready to finish off the beast with one shot.
"&t;%...#@ (Oh no, Ah Hua is in trouble!)" From the woods, a several hundred meters away from Su Chen, near a lake, a slim figure with a wild spirit slowly emerged from the clear waters.
