Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi were also boiling water. The way they were drooling almost scared the wild boar demons inside to death.

"What are you looking at? We are protected animals, you can't eat us!"

The wild boar kept reminding them to hide. It had lost count of how many times it had reminded them, because it was so worried about being eaten that it kept reminding them that it was a protected animal.

Ya Zi and Yue Jiu Ling caught all the pigs and threw them into the barrier. Ya Zi asked the big wild boar, "Look, are all the pigs here? It's all your fault. You guys are troublemakers. If you hadn't destroyed the pig farm and taken the pigs away, we wouldn't have had to work so hard."

Yue Jiuling glared fiercely at the wild boar and said, "That's right, it's all your fault!"

Then she turned to Hidden and asked, "Hidden, how many pigs were lost in total?"

"I think it was around 260, but I don't quite remember. Let me check the information first."

Hidden took out his phone and looked at it, saying, "Oh, there are a total of 267 pigs, from seven pig farms combined. Luckily, they didn't raise many, and they sold quite a few before the New Year, so they only had a few dozen each. These wild boars took away a few dozen of them, otherwise there would have been thousands."

"Tsk tsk, let's count how many there are then."

Ye Dongfeng walked up to the barrier and said, "Young Master Long, separate those wild boars, otherwise they'll be hard to count if they're all mixed together."

"good."

Upon hearing this, Ya Zi immediately created another barrier, then separated the wild boars and had Ye Dongfeng count the ordinary domestic pigs.

"One, two, three, four, five, six..."

Ye Dongfeng started counting from outside the barrier. He glanced at the wild boars and frowned, saying, "These guys are inedible, and they haven't even taken human form yet, so they're not real monsters. They're really annoying."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it; they are protected animals after all."

Mu Xiaoyi looked at the wild boars with regret and said.

Bai Xinyu was equally disappointed because she was really hungry. She looked at the largest wild boar and said, "How about this? They've already made a mistake, so let's just eat one of their feet. That way, we won't kill them, and it'll be a punishment for them, okay?"

"No! We are protected animals, you can't eat us!"

Upon hearing Bai Xinyu's words, the wild boar, who had been thinking it was safe because it was a protected animal, suddenly cried out in terror, "You can't do this! Not even a single foot!"

"That's right, you can't treat us like this! We're protected animals!"

Another wild boar also screamed in terror.

"Just one pig's trotter, please."

Bai Xinyu was still bargaining with them, pleading, "It's all because of your vandalism that we had to work overtime late into the night and haven't eaten yet. We're starving now. Just give us a pig's trotter each as compensation."

"Yes, you did something wrong. Don't think you can escape punishment just because you're protecting animals."

Yue Jiuling chimed in, "Hurry up, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you protect animals."

Even Ye Dongfeng, who had already finished counting the pigs, came over. He first reported the number to Yinni, saying, "They're all here, a total of two hundred and sixty-seven. Not a single one is missing."

As he spoke, he turned to the wild boar and said, "Hmph, you injured me before, so your crime is even more serious. I think you should cut off two of your own trotters as compensation."

"No, I... I'm a protected animal! Aww... Or, you can just eat the regular pigs instead. We'll never do that again, please leave us alone!"

The wild boar was terrified by everyone's words, fearing that its trotters would soon be cut off and roasted. Seeing Mu Xiaoyi still boiling water, it shrank into a corner and pleaded, "Please, please let us go! You can eat the regular pigs, but we'll never dare to take them away again!"

"Hmph, they don't eat as well as you guys!"

Yinni also came over, but he just stared at the wild boars, scared them a little, and then said to Ye Dongfeng, "Wait, Dongfeng, you're bad at math. There are only 266 pigs here, one is missing. How about we use a wild boar to replace it?"

As he spoke, Yinni grabbed a wild boar from among the wild boars and threw it into the group of ordinary pigs. Then he grabbed the thinnest pig from the group of ordinary pigs and said, "Hey, I'm so hungry, let's have a midnight snack."

Upon seeing the hidden movement, Ye Dongfeng immediately understood. He said, "Oh, right, I miscounted. But this mountain is so dangerous, the missing pig is probably gone forever."
