Chapter 25

It was a muscular wild boar.

It has fangs, a body of hard and thick fur, and the longer and thicker manes and guard hairs on its back stand up. When it misses a hit, it will emit a "hum" sound from its nostrils.

It has a strong offensive nature and seems to have been waiting for an opportunity for a long time. Xu Yi tightened the sickle in his hand, unable to concentrate on looking at the bamboo basket not far away. Compared with the thin and soft sickle, the machete in the bamboo basket is more important.

Thinking that the wild boar has very small eyes and relies mainly on its keen sense of smell, Xu Yi moved his figure carefully.

While he was on guard, he worked hard to get closer to the bamboo basket. At this moment, the wild boar moved its nose, raised its stubby front hooves, and made another offensive gesture.

That's it! Xu Yi's eyes flashed, and he quickly rushed to the bamboo basket, picked up the machete on it, and swung it at the wild boar that hit him.

The knife struck its head, and the wild boar howled in pain. The huge shock that penetrated his hand made Xu Yi's wrist numb, and he immediately tightened his grip on the knife handle.

Its fur was too thick, and the knife did not cause much damage to it. Instead, it made the wild boar's eyes red with irritation, and it wanted to crush him on the spot.

The collision force from a few hundred kilograms of weight was really astonishing. Xu Yi practiced martial arts twice. In the first practice battle, he encountered such a heavyweight fighter.

I don’t know whether I should say today is lucky or bad luck.

The joy of encountering the best agarwood was diluted a lot, and now the question before him was how he could escape safely from such a wild boar that was snoring and glaring at him.

"Ho ho -"

Want to escape? The wild boar didn't give Xu Yi a chance at all. It kept slamming hard and wouldn't stop until Xu Yi was knocked down.

Xu Yi's arms were sore and numb. If he continued like this, he might not be able to hold on.

He turned his eyes and looked at the agarwood on the left, and then at the shrubs on the right. The densely grown shrubs were an excellent place for him to escape. As long as he ran inside, the wild boars would want to escape. It becomes more difficult to catch up with him in the narrow and dense forest.

The sunlight passed through the canopy of the trees and fell to the ground, turning into mottled patches on the face. Xu Yi used his wrist to pull the machete off the wild boar's head.

At the same time, when it hit him, Xu Yi rolled on the ground to his right, got up, and ran quickly toward the trees.

Behind him was the sound of a wild boar slamming into a tree and catching up, and in his ears was the sound of his own heavy breathing.

Xu Yi ran, circled back to the original place, turned around and struck out the machete in his hand again, this time towards the belly of the wild boar.

He used all his strength, but this time it was no longer as hard as hitting a stone. The blade penetrated halfway, and the smelly blood spurted out, and it was frighteningly hot when it spilled onto the back of his hand.

Xu Yi was indifferent and pulled out the knife at an extremely fast speed and swung it again. It was his turn not to give the wild boar a chance to escape.

It was at this time that the male wild boar realized something was wrong. This human who looked much thinner than him was not weak in strength and speed. It smelled a threat and wanted to escape.

Waves of howls sounded, and Xu Yi's face turned cold.

It’s time to call for companions!

He had to fight quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape if another adult female wild boar came to the rescue.

Xu Yi raised his leg and hit the wild boar hard. After hitting it with all his strength several times, it fell into the soil that corroded the leaves. Before it struggled to rush over, he slashed into its abdomen with a knife.

This knife hit the vital point directly, and the wild boar finally lost half of its strength, and fell to the ground with its heavy body twitching.

It had not completely lost its attacking power. Xu Yi did not dare to relax. He had never practiced sword skills, so he had to use brute force to chop at the same position one after another.

Until later, Xu Yi could hardly lift his hands. The belly of the wild boar was mixed with fur and flesh, and became horribly bloody. It stopped moving.

Panting heavily, he sat down next to the wild boar carcass, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, but his brain was slightly in a trance.

Escape from death, fight back...

No matter what it is, it has never been a thrilling scene that he has experienced.

At that moment, Xu Yi felt as if he had no time to think about anything. There was only one thought in his mind - I want to live!

...

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Yi regained some strength. He lowered his eyes to check his condition. When he blocked the wild boar, he had varying degrees of scratches on his arms, the backs of his hands, and his legs, and bloody scabs with purple bruises had formed in the severe areas.

With a grin on his face, he untied the cloth tied around his leg and carefully wrapped it around his bleeding arm.

Then, he stood up and looked around. After the fight, a lot of the surrounding vegetation was destroyed. The wild boar knocked down a lot of bushes, creating a winding space.

Xu Yi picked up the machete and simply wiped the blood stains on it with leaves that had not yet dried completely. Then he took off the outer short brown, wrapped the three pieces of agarwood inside, pressed it to the bottom of the bamboo basket, and covered it with the Chinese medicinal materials above. Live the aroma.

After doing this, Xu Yi looked at the wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms and decided to take the trophy down the mountain.

*

At the foot of Mount Yilu.

There is a wooden ox cart parked, and the person sitting on it is chewing loose tea leaves in a handlebar style. The smell of camellia leaves is very refreshing. Chew two pieces and swallow them with a sip of spring water. Your mouth will be full of sweetness and you will be full of energy.

There are already two people sitting on the cart, both of whom came to work at the Yilu Mountain Temple today. They come here for nine days in ten days, and they can receive twenty-eight cents of hard-earned money every time, so their life is not too difficult.

I waited and waited, but when the time came, I didn't even see the young man who went up the mountain to dig herbs.

One of them looked around and said to his companion: "Is this young gentleman really going into the mountains?"

"I think he is honest every time. It doesn't seem like he would venture in. It should be something else." Things are delayed." The other person waved his hand in disbelief and called to the driver in front, "Old man, can you wait?"

The driver turned around and smiled with black teeth: "Wait for another quarter of an hour. If you haven't come yet, don't wait. "

One more person earns one more copper, and Handlebar Style is unwilling to give up this long-term head.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and those waiting could not help but take off their straw hats and use them as cattail fans.

The time became longer, and the people on the bullock cart became impatient to wait, thinking dissatisfiedly that they would have to say something when they saw people coming...

Not long after, they heard the sound of heavy objects being dragged . .

Several people looked at the trail at the foot of the mountain at the same time. A few seconds later, they saw a man emerging from the bushes. His hair was loose and messy. There were a few bloodstains on his face. The short brown hair on his arms was gone. What else is he bothering with... If it weren't for the bamboo basket on his back, they wouldn't even know who this person is!

Where did this escape come from? The handlebar type was older and he ran slowly. When he arrived in front of Xu Yi, the other two people made a sound of shock.

The handlebar type looked over and was horrified to see a ferocious boar head! The wild boar was dragged by Xu Yi. Its thick fur was covered in blood and flesh. Looking back, it was incredible. The road where it was dragged out was covered in blood!

"This... this... did you encounter a wild boar?" Everyone swallowed their saliva in shock and came back to their senses, raising their voices in disbelief.

Xu Yi was so tired that he dropped the pig's trotters in his hands, sat down panting, and nodded to them.

"Have you gone into the mountains?" Handlebar asked nervously.

"How else could we meet a wild boar?"

After a moment of pause, Xu Yi said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I accidentally met a wild boar."

"Hiss!" After gasping for air, everyone asked in unison.

"Did you kill this wild boar? That's so powerful. How did you do it? This wild boar looks quite big. It should weigh two to three hundred kilograms."

"Good young man, you have learned martial arts . "You look so thin, but you have such abilities!"

"My dear, who would believe this?"

"..."

In their opinion, this is nothing less than seeing something shocking. A young man of 20 years old can beat a full-grown wild boar to death on his own. I am afraid that he must be born with supernatural power to do it.

With their unrestrained imagination, the way they looked at Xu Yi now became different.

Even after waiting for Xu Yi for a long time and asking him enthusiastically if he was injured, he had already figured out how to deal with the wild boar.

Xu Yi blinked and asked: "I was just going to ask all of you, old men and women, if there is any place in the county that is willing to collect wild wild boar?"

Handlebar Style said: "Yes, the butcher's house in the west section of the city will collect such game, but it's not like the mountains." The meat smells fishy and doesn’t fetch a good price.”

“It takes a lot of effort to make this meat delicious. I’ve eaten it once by chance. The money spent on the spices when cooking the meat. It’s worth several kilograms of pork.” Another person complained, sighing, “I’m afraid only those rich people are willing to eat such scarce game.”

That’s right, the smell of the wild boar is offensive. Stained with a strong smell of blood, it is nauseating to smell it for a long time.
