On the treetops not far ahead, two hands stretched out and made a gesture to us.
"Ready to fight!"
Huahua's mother looked forward, clenched the wooden thorn in her hand, and her expression became solemn.
Even Huahua picked up a wooden thorn and choked her breath.
Yami and I didn't know what was going to happen, so we just stood aside, a little nervous for no reason.
Soon, there was a rustling sound in the grass in front, and a huge figure suddenly jumped out and ran towards us.
As the figure got closer, I saw clearly that it was a wild boar!
The wild boar had more than a dozen sharp arrows stuck in its body, and it was bleeding continuously. It ran and roared, and it had gone crazy.
"Hey!"
Seeing that the wild boar was getting closer and closer to us, Huahua's mother shouted loudly and suddenly swung out the wooden thorn in her hand.
puff!
The tip of the wooden thorn pierced the wild boar's neck hard, and the wild boar staggered and fell to the ground.
Huahua's mother picked up another wooden thorn and rushed over.
"kill!"
The wooden thorn pierced the wild boar's thick fur, and was quickly pulled out, leaving a trace of scarlet blood.
Huahua also followed suit and tried her best to stab the wild boar.
However, she was just a child after all, and was too weak to penetrate the wild boar's skin.
Speaking of which, this wild boar is also tenacious enough. It was already hit by more than a dozen arrows, and now it was stabbed by wooden thorns more than a dozen times, but it still did not fall down, and instead became more and more crazy.
"Roar!"
The wild boar let out a terrifying roar, and regardless of its injuries, it pointed its fangs at Huahua and charged directly towards her.
When Huahua saw this, she was dumbfounded and just stood there, motionless.
This wild boar must have weighed at least three to four hundred kilograms. If Huahua's fragile body was hit, there would be no chance of survival.
Huahua's mother wanted to take action, but it was too late. She was so anxious that she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Seeing that the wild boar was about to hit Huahua, I tiptoed and rushed over in an instant, picked up Huahua, and then rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the wild boar's blow.
The wild boar turned around and dug its front hooves on the ground. Its scarlet eyes stared at me, shooting out cold rays of hatred.
I knew this was the prelude to the wild boar's attack, so I quickly put Huahua on the ground, picked up a wooden thorn, and threw it out hard.
With a whooshing sound, the wooden thorn accurately penetrated the wild boar's left eye, bursting out a cloud of blood mist.
The wild boar suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, struggling.
Huahua's mother hurried forward and the wooden thorn quickly penetrated the wild boar's throat, killing it.
"Huahua, my child!"
Seeing that the wild boar was dead, Huahua's mother dropped the wooden thorn, ran over and hugged Huahua.
After confirming that Huahua was safe and sound, Huahua's mother took a deep breath and nodded to me.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving my daughter, Huahua, why don't you thank me quickly, big brother."
Huahua obediently shouted to me: "Thank you, big brother!"
I smiled and waved my hand: "It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."
"Brother Cheng Yi, you just stabbed the wild boar in the eye. You are so handsome!"
Yami also came over and said to me with admiration.
"Hehe, I used to be a hunter. I have hunted tigers and lions. It's just a wild boar. It's nothing."
I said braggingly.
At this time, the two female villagers who had gone to explore the road also climbed down from the tree and returned to our side.
"This wild boar is so crazy. It was hit by more than a dozen arrows and it didn't even die!"
"Mom Huahua, it was our negligence that put you in danger this time, I'm sorry!"
Huahua's mother shook her head: "Don't feel guilty. Hunting in the mountains has always been accompanied by danger. No one can guarantee safety. This is something Huahua must experience when growing up."
After saying that, several people began to look for stones to cover the wild boar's body.
"Everyone, shouldn't we find a way to transport the wild boar back to the village now? Why do we need to cover it?"
After seeing the actions of several people, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Who said we were going down the mountain?"
Huahua's mother glanced at me: "Where are we now? Today's hunting activity has just begun."
ah? This is just the beginning.
I couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that I encountered a wild boar as soon as I went up the mountain, and I didn't know what terrible beast I was going to encounter later.
However, no one else had any intention of going down the mountain, and I didn’t say anything more. I just followed the team to the top of the mountain together with Yami.
Later on, we didn't encounter many wild beasts on the road. Apart from killing a few wolves and foxes, they were also small beasts such as pheasants and rabbits.
Every time a beast was killed, Huahua's mother and two villagers covered the body of the beast to be transported down the mountain.
As we approached the top of the mountain, the sounds of hunting prey kept coming from all around. I knew that these were other hunting teams that were about to join us.
After passing through a birch forest, I looked up and saw that on the ridge not far above, there were already people standing around a cave.
We walked forward quickly and met the villagers. After waiting for a while, other teams came over one after another.
Even the goddess of Inuning Village came to the entrance of the cave on crutches.
I can't help but wonder, this goddess looks to be at least seventy or eighty years old, with a stooped figure, and the mountain road here is very rugged, how did she climb up?
In addition, what is in this cave, and why do all the villagers meet here?
While I was puzzled, the goddess, supported by two villagers, walked up to the middle-aged woman who was previously responsible for allocating the teams.
"Xiu Fang, is it inside?"
The goddess tilted her head and asked the woman.
"Go back to mother-in-law, she's here!"
The woman said respectfully: "Under our encirclement, it has already hid in the hole. There is no other way out."
The goddess nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Is there any way you can force it out?"
The woman suddenly looked embarrassed: "This is a bit difficult to handle..."
"There are no springs on this mountain, so water cannot be diverted to fill the caves, and there is a lot of vegetation on the outside. If we attack it with fire, I am afraid that the entire mountain will be burned down."
"Why don't we send people to guard here. When it gets too hungry, it will come out to look for food sooner or later."
Faced with the middle-aged woman's proposal, the goddess shook her head.
"No."
"It is not an ordinary ferocious beast. Even if it does not eat or drink, it can survive for ten days and a half."
"And we can't keep so many people guarding the entrance of the cave all the time. Once we relax at night, it is likely to rush out. In that case, no one can stop it!"
