Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 191: Close-Quarters Combat

If it weren’t for Xu Yi’s agility having improved, he felt that he definitely wouldn’t have been able to leap over the Raccoon Monkey’s head in time to avoid its bite.

This creature’s mouth didn’t look very big, but if it bit you, it would definitely tear off a chunk of flesh.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s hair stood on end.

However, it’s precisely this kind of situation that hones oneself.

Otherwise, he would have already taken out his machete to deal with this Raccoon Monkey.

Lu Ke was on the side, scanning the surroundings, on guard against other animals appearing.

After all, even honey can attract black bears.

The scent of blood attracting other animals is not surprising at all.

"Hunted a Raccoon Monkey, gained 8 points." A notification sounded in Lu Ke’s mind.

Points, increasing from 113 to 121.

Only now did Lu Ke know that the animal he and Xu Yi were dealing with was called a Raccoon Monkey.

"Come on!" Xu Yi bent down, lowered his body, and shouted at the Raccoon Monkey.

"No wonder it’s worth 8 points. This Raccoon Monkey is quite terrifying, even after being injured by Xu Yi, it hasn’t died yet."

"That means Wanzi and cousin were really lucky yesterday. If they had faced off directly, those eight could have shredded them in minutes."

"An alien planet is too dangerous, I’d better stay at home."

"Fortunately, earlier Loli Ke shot the artery, and the Raccoon Monkey pulled out the Crossbow Arrow itself. Otherwise, Xu Yi really couldn’t handle two."

"That might not be the case, if Xu Yi used the machete, the Raccoon Monkey would have been beheaded already."

"But does this really have any meaning, can it make Xu Yi stronger?"

"Of course it can, real combat is the best training."

Xu Yi didn’t aim his dagger at the Raccoon Monkey’s vital points, after all, it’s rare to encounter an animal that can stand upright and has such tenacious Life Force.

One could say, this is a free sparring partner.

So Xu Yi wasn’t in a hurry to kill the opponent, just intending to use it to improve his attack and dodge skills.

Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi with a bit of envy, wishing she could also face off against a beast with just a dagger like him.

The Raccoon Monkey’s movements grew slower, its strength weakened.

Yet it showed no sign of giving up.

Such an animal is truly terrifying.

Relentless pursuit until death, Xu Yi genuinely felt the terror of this phrase on its body.

Xu Yi tangled with it for half an hour before it finally collapsed.

Sweating profusely, Xu Yi shook off the sweat and prepared to take off his clothes to cool off.

At that moment, the Raccoon Monkey, which was already lying on the ground, suddenly leaped up and lunged at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi..."

Xu Yi reached out to block, simultaneously thrusting the dagger in his hand.

His hand was scraped by the Raccoon Monkey, and blood instantly stained his hand red, while his dagger pierced into the Raccoon Monkey’s chest.

The dagger twisted and was pulled out.

Blood sprayed all over Xu Yi.

"No problem, just a scratch on the hand, no big deal." Xu Yi, seeing Lu Ke rush over and grab his hand, pretended to be calm and said.

It hurt, it really hurt.

"You call this no problem, the bone is almost visible." Lu Ke said, immediately pulling out a bamboo tube, preparing to clean Xu Yi’s hand, then bandage it.

Seeing her actions, Xu Yi said nothing further.

Silently watching Lu Ke rinse his hand, she even blew on it with her mouth.

Then she retrieved a medical kit from her bag.

"Don’t waste the hemostatic package, just dab some disinfectant and wrap it with a bandage." The hemostatic package used on his hand would really be wasteful, Xu Yi immediately stopped her.

"Really not needed?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, somewhat hesitant.

"No need, it’s not that serious, didn’t even hit a blood vessel, it will coagulate soon." Xu Yi said, indeed it wasn’t to the extent of needing a hemostatic package.

Lu Ke nodded, put away the hemostatic package, then sprayed some disinfectant spray, then thought about spraying pain relief but was also stopped by Xu Yi.

After all, the spray’s quantity is limited, best not to use it unless necessary.

Finally, Lu Ke just wrapped a bandage over it.

After handling it, Lu Ke wanted to give Xu Yi water to drink.

"No need to be so attentive, I’ll drink myself." Saying this, Xu Yi took out his bamboo tube, drank some water.

"Didn’t expect it really is a kind of monkey. Raccoon Monkey, interesting." Xu Yi looked at the corpse on the ground, shaking his head.

This Raccoon Monkey was truly terrifying.

Despite being wounded by him so many times, it managed to engage with him for half an hour.

Next time, if encountering more than two of them, it is definitely not wise to provoke them actively.

Too much risk, he and Lu Ke might not be able to handle three of them.

He felt that if Lu Ke hadn’t shot one down from the start, he and Lu Ke would probably still be running away from this Raccoon Monkey.

Of course, this time, his harvest was also considerable.

Now, their score had reached 129.

Additionally, his combat ability had improved somewhat, at least he felt he had gained a lot.

After resting for a while, Lu Ke began to handle the Raccoon Monkey’s corpse.

Xu Yi also started to deal with the other Raccoon Monkey; although his hand still hurt a bit, the bleeding had stopped.

This pain was completely bearable for Xu Yi.

Thus, Lu Ke’s insistence that Xu Yi rest had no effect.

After they skinned them, they cut some meat from the Raccoon Monkeys to take back.

They didn’t cut much, no more than ten pounds of meat.

After all, they had acquired more than a hundred pounds of bear meat yesterday, and didn’t need to carry back so much meat for now.

After placing the fur and meat into the basket and preparing to leave, Lu Ke and Xu Yi heard a burst of sound.

"Let’s go quickly." Xu Yi said, and Lu Ke hurried up to leave.

Just after they took a few steps, six Steel-Clawed Earth Wolves appeared, lunging at the Raccoon Monkeys’ corpses.

"Xu Yi, they shouldn’t catch up, right?" Lu Ke looked back, those Steel-Clawed Earth Wolves were causing quite a disruption, so Lu Ke thought there must be quite a few of them.

"They won’t come so quickly, there are still two Raccoon Monkeys’ bodies there, enough to keep them busy for a while." Xu Yi turned his head and didn’t see any signs of animals chasing.

"This area indeed has quite a few beasts, good thing we’ve collected what we wanted, or else we would’ve wasted two hides." Lu Ke remarked.

"Yes, some beasts still live here. But episodes like today are quite rare. Sometimes, you won’t encounter a single one in days." Xu Yi said, though feeling a vague sense of unease.

Another bear, another Raccoon Monkey, and a group of unseen beasts.

It’s as if they suddenly popped out of nowhere, something felt somewhat off.
