After a hearty breakfast, Si Cheng and his wife continued to use their drone to observe the surrounding area.
Their luck wasn't as good as yesterday. Apart from that plain, the rest of the place was all rocks. So the two of them retrieved the fish traps they had put in the lake the night before, put everything into their spatial storage, and started walking towards the plain.
After walking for most of the day, we still hadn't seen a trace of the wild boars from yesterday. However, the further we went, the more we gradually spotted some small animals.
"This area is too big, it's a bit troublesome to clean it up, and it would be a huge project to defend this area."
The two had only seen the vastness of this piece of land before, but when they went deeper, they found that things were not as simple as they thought. Although the plants here were quite lush, there were many stones mixed in, and with the poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, it would be really difficult to clear them away.
"Let the drone fly a little further. Otherwise, we can't just keep wandering aimlessly like this." Yunqi took out her navigation device again, as they were almost at the boundary the drone had reached earlier.
"Let it fly higher this time." Si Cheng took the switch and quickly started the drone. Before, the two of them had carefully controlled the drone to fly at low altitude, but after several days here, there shouldn't be a third person in this mountain range. This time, they decided to let it fly higher and farther.
Every place has its boundaries, and this plain is no exception. A few miles further on, you can see a cliff. Through the images transmitted by the drone, the two of them also discovered some creatures that looked like Ganoderma lucidum growing on the edge of the cliff.
"Since we've seen it, let's go take a look." Si Cheng saw the Ganoderma lucidum that looked like a medicinal herb and wanted to find out more.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was not a cliff or precipitous rock, but rather a huge sinkhole that had split between two mountain peaks. However, it was only separated from the opposite mountain peak; the other mountain ranges were still connected.
"It really is Ganoderma lucidum, but we can't distinguish the specific type. Now Uncle Nanyao has something to study."
These Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms grew on the dead branches of trees on the edge of the sinkhole, numbering seven or eight in total, varying in size.
"Luckily it grows here, otherwise it would definitely have been eaten by those wild boars."
Si Cheng picked the larger flowers without much effort, leaving the two or three smaller ones behind.
"Let's go and check in another direction. I wonder where those wild boar herds settled down. We've been walking for so long and haven't seen any trace of them yet."
The two pilots searched the area with the drone and finally found a hidden entrance in a clump of grass. They might not have discovered it if wild boars hadn't been going in and out of it.
"This is too clever. If we didn't have this magical artifact, we might not have been able to find them."
"Now that we know where they are, and we've looked around this area, let's go check out the other side." Si Cheng didn't want to take Yun Qi with him to face the wild boar herd directly; he was afraid that, like when they dealt with the tiger, he wouldn't be able to fully protect her.
The two of them continued their exploration, making their home wherever they could find it, hoping to take this opportunity to thoroughly understand the situation in the back mountains. The reason they said "as much as possible" was because this mountain range was far different from what they had imagined; they had been walking for several days and still hadn't seen the end.
The journey back was much easier because they were familiar with the road conditions, and Wu Yong led his team back to the village in the afternoon of the third day.
As soon as they entered the village from the back of the mountain, many villagers along the way told them about what had happened recently, without even checking the contents of their baskets.
Wu Yong led everyone to put all their belongings at the village office, where the village would then distribute them in a unified manner, and of course, they would receive their share.
“It seems that not only did we have a harrowing experience on the mountain, but you also faced many dangers.” Wu Yong put down his basket and lifted the wild vegetables covering it.
"Ah," someone cried out first, and then the sounds of "Ah, Ah" continued to ring out.
The shouts quickly attracted many villagers, who all wanted to know what had happened and why there were so many exclamations.
But everyone who saw it gasped in surprise, and some women even screamed.
"Look at you guys, so naive. It's just a tiger's head. What's so surprising about that?" Wu Yong patted the tiger's head a few times, looking smug.
"Where did you find this?" Someone mustered up their courage and looked ahead. After confirming that it was real, they asked the people coming down from the mountain.
"So you think you can pick up a tiger by going up the mountain? Why don't you go up the mountain tomorrow and maybe you can pick up a white dragon instead?"
"Even if you didn't find it, it's probably not your business." Hou Yunhai and Yun Xun happened to hear the news and rushed over.
"By the way, where are Cheng-ge and the others? Did they miss their kids at home and go back first?" Yun Xun didn't see Si Cheng and the others, so he assumed they had gone home first.
"It seems that Brother Cheng didn't come into the village with us; we haven't seen him at all." The villagers who had followed along realized that the village chief hadn't returned, which explained why they felt something was missing.
"We found quite a lot this time, so Brother Cheng told us to bring the things back first. He and Sister Yunqi will go for another walk around the area to see if there are any other discoveries."
"Isn't this ridiculous? How can we leave the two of them alone in the deep mountains? What if they encounter danger?" Grandpa and the others happened to come in and overheard this.
"Brother Cheng said that area was this tiger's territory, and there weren't any other wild animals there for the time being. He wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to look around that mountain area and see if he could find anything else." Wu Yong quickly explained when he saw that he couldn't bear the accusing looks from everyone.
"Then what about this tiger? Did you set a trap and catch it?"
Second Grandfather and the others didn't think they could take down the King of Beasts with their bare hands.
When it comes to this matter, no one is more qualified to speak than Wu Yong, as he directly witnessed most of the scene of Brother Cheng's one-on-one duel with the King of Beasts.
After listening to Wu Yong's animated and passionate narration, everyone occasionally held their breath or exclaimed in surprise.
After he finished speaking, everyone thought to themselves at the same time, "Wow, that's amazing!"
"That was awesome! The scene must have been even more intense and exciting than you described. If only we had a recording device to capture it, we could have seen our brother's heroic prowess." Yunyang resolved to hone his skills diligently so he wouldn't miss any more spectacular moments.
