The bald man was startled by Huang Feng's sharp gaze and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"You've got it wrong! That's not what I meant! I meant there might be a trap here!"
"What? A trap? What kind of trap?"
"Think about it! In this freezing weather, where did he get all these pigs? In this cold weather, if you put pigs outside, they'll freeze to death in less than an hour! Don't you think he deliberately lured us over there?"
Huang Feng was stunned for a moment and pondered for a long time.
"Hmph! So what if it's a trap! I brought so many men with me this time, do you think I'm afraid of his little schemes?"
The bald man was speechless after being choked by the other party's words. He had meant well by advising him to be more cautious, since so many people had just died. If they rushed in recklessly now and encountered any danger, they would not be able to avoid it.
"Alright! I'll do as you say! Brothers, get ready! Let's follow them!"
The bald man shouted loudly to the people behind him, and then slowly followed the crowd.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was leisurely herding pigs. If he were wearing a straw hat, he would look exactly like a shepherd, but what he was herding was a group of pigs.
The reason for herding pigs is that sheep and cattle are more resistant to cold. In this kind of weather, if they are let out, it may be difficult to control them, and the flock may even become chaotic.
However, this isn't a problem for pigs. Although pigs have a thick layer of fat, its protective effect against temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius is significantly reduced.
Moreover, pigs don't have the thick hide of cows or the thick hair of sheep. With only skin that's slightly thicker than a human's, they would freeze to death in this temperature for very long if left outside.
Fortunately, the pigs in Lu Yuan's hands were tough and thick-skinned. Despite the low temperature, they still showed strong growth in the dimensional space. Apart from their slightly unsteady steps, they even had a few beads of sweat on their bodies.
With a "smack," Lu Yuan struck a pig that was trying to escape on its rump with a stick, and the pig immediately returned to the group.
Looking back at the pursuers, they were still chasing after him in the cold wind, but it seemed that a few of them were moving faster and were about to catch up with Lu Yuan.
Haha! Running so fast! Aren't you afraid of dying?
Lu Yuan immediately crouched down, then pulled out his crossbow from behind and pulled the trigger several times.
A series of crossbow bolts accurately hit several of the men.
"Ah! There's an ambush ahead! Ah! Help me! My leg!"
"Help me! I've been shot with an arrow! Damn it!"
"Ouch! You stepped on me! Ouch! My leg!"
"..."
Screams echoed from the crowd.
But the louder their screams, the more excited the people behind them became, because it meant that Lu Yuan must have something good to protect, otherwise he wouldn't have come back halfway.
"Chase! Chase after him!" Huang Feng excitedly led the main force in a desperate pursuit of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan shot down the people behind him while simultaneously pinpointing their locations.
Very good, these people have officially entered his ambush zone, but because there are so many of them, if he releases his wooden plank at this time, the damage will not be too great, and the people behind will be able to dodge in time.
This was Lu Yuan's last trump card. He didn't want to reveal it so early. He wanted to wait for the best opportunity to release his timber. Once it was released, he would have no more tricks up his sleeve.
After shooting and killing more than ten people, Lu Yuan continued to use his small wooden stick to drive the pigs away.
However, the pigs seemed to be getting exhausted, and no matter how Lu Yuan tried to drive them, they just lay on the ground and stopped running.
"Damn it! You let us down at the crucial moment!" Lu Yuan angrily increased the force of his whipping on the pig's rump.
But the pig only squealed once, without getting up.
Lu Yuan reached out and touched the pig's body, only to find that a thin layer of ice had formed on its skin, frostbite was appearing, and its heartbeat was accelerating.
"Damn it! I completely forgot that these pigs are basically guaranteed to die this day! No wonder they didn't run away!"
Then Lu Yuan looked up at the place above his head. Although the location was not very good, the slope was steeper, and there was a cliff about ten meters away from the top of his head, with a narrow passage inside.
"This place is pretty good too!"
After confirming the location, Lu Yuan decided to use this place as his ambush site.
So he ignored the pigs lying on the ground and ran forward as fast as he could.
"Chase! Chase him!" Huang Feng waved his rifle and ran forward, but because he had been out of training for a long time, and the mountain road was not easy to walk on, with rugged rocks everywhere, he had to be careful when walking, otherwise he would easily twist his ankle.
Suddenly, a cheer erupted from ahead. Huang Feng looked up in surprise and asked, "What's going on with the people up ahead? Why did they stop running? Shall we chase them?"
A henchman standing nearby, puffing out white breath, said, "Up ahead... up ahead they found more than a dozen pigs frozen to death. They must have left them there by Lu Yuan and his men! That's why our men are in trouble!"
"Damn it! A bunch of country bumpkins! Get your men and stop them! There's something even better inside! How can they be tempted by such a small thing!"
