“Ahh…”
There were two more dull growls.
Before anyone could react.
There was a loud "boom".
The bamboo raft in front of Lu Xuan suddenly shook violently.
“Stand back!”
Lu Xuan, who was lying in the front, took several steps back reflexively and immediately shouted away the three girls behind him.
"What...what is that..."
Seeing that the bamboo door of her house was almost knocked over, Yin Yichen became nervous and tightly grasped Shen Keyin's arm.
"Lu Xuan, did you see clearly what it was?"
The more critical the moment, the calmer Leng Mengyao seemed. She held up a torch and stood vigilantly behind Lu Xuan.
"I didn't see it clearly, but I roughly know what it is..."
"Boom..."
Before Lu Xuan could finish his words, the bamboo raft in front of him was hit violently again.
"Put out the bonfire, quick!"
Lu Xuan lay down under the bamboo gate again with a harpoon in his hand, and urgently asked the girls behind him to extinguish the bonfire.
Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen were still hesitating, but Leng Mengyao decisively put out the bonfire.
As the blazing bonfire gradually dimmed, the last flicker of light seemed to be swallowed by an invisible black hole. The darkness was like an invisible giant hand, suddenly and completely covering the entire cave.
The darkness was not just a visual loss, but also brought with it a sense of oppression and dullness, as if even the air had become solidified, making it difficult to breathe.
In this boundless darkness, every faint sound of the wind seemed particularly harsh. They seemed to shuttle back and forth between the stone walls of the cave, emitting bursts of low hums, like ancient and mysterious spells, constantly echoing in the ears.
As the light disappeared, the outside of the cave seemed to fall into silence again, as if nothing had happened just now.
But Lu Xuan knew very well that danger was hidden in the darkness.
As expected...
“Ahh…”
After half a minute of silence, the low roar appeared again, and this time the sound was clearer.
Immediately afterwards, the bamboo raft in front of Lu Xuan was hit by the giant object again.
But this time, without the guidance of the light, the giant object outside the cave seemed to have lost its aim and had obviously crashed off course.
However, because the bamboo raft had been hit multiple times in a short period of time, it was already obviously damaged.
"Creaky" and crumbling...
"Damn it! Take this with your fork!"
Lu Xuan now basically determined the attack method and direction of the giant, picked up the harpoon in his hand and stabbed it.
“Ahh…”
The attack missed, but it seemed to have angered the opponent.
"Lu Xuan, I'm coming too."
Chen Keyin also rushed up with a harpoon in hand at some point.
"What on earth is this, handsome boy? Why did you put out the bonfire?"
Yin Yichen was a little timid at first, but now seeing that even the most timid Shen Keyin rushed forward with a weapon, she put her fear behind her and groped in the dark to drag over the machete that Lu Xuan had left in the cave.
"Wild boar! It's a black-haired wild boar! The light will only irritate it and give it a clue as to its direction. It's pitch black now, and although we can't see it, the beast has lost its way."
When his bamboo raft was hit for the second time, Lu Xuan basically guessed what it was.
Ordinary wild wolves, even cheetahs and tigers, could not have such great strength. Moreover, through the faint flame that was not completely extinguished, Lu Xuan had vaguely seen the opponent's sharp fangs.
So, it must be a wild boar.
"Wild boar? Why does it feel so strong..."
As girls who grew up in the city, the three girls naturally had never seen the power of wild boars.
"The most difficult creature in the wild is this wild boar. Keyin, give me the bamboo fork!"
At the moment, the situation was urgent. The wild boar's attack did not stop when the fire went out. Lu Xuan had no time to explain to the girls. He grabbed the bamboo fork from Shen Keyin's hand and stabbed it towards the gap between the bamboo rafts.
“Ouch…”
Lu Xuan suddenly felt a huge resistance, and at the same time a scream came from outside the cave.
"Lu Xuan, our bamboo forks..."
Before Lu Xuan and Shen Keyin could react, the bamboo fork disappeared in front of them. It was obviously dragged away by the wild boar that had been hit hard.
"I'll get it again!"
Yin Yichen reacted quickly. After hearing Shen Keyin's voice, he immediately put down the machete, groped his way back into the cave, and quickly found two spare pieces.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan and others made a lot of harpoons in their daily lives, so there were quite a few in stock in the cave.
“Ahh…”
The wild boar outside the cave was obviously hurt badly by Lu Xuan's attack, and was still growling and groaning outside the cave.
"Mengyao, light the torch. If I tell you to throw it, throw it with all your might."
What Lu Xuan was most worried about at the moment was the bamboo raft, which was at the end of its strength. He was afraid that if it was hit by the wild boar again, the only line of defense protecting his group would completely collapse.
The only option now is to give it a try.
Leng Mengyao didn't ask any more questions and immediately relit the two torches.
"Keyin, I'll count to three, and together we'll lift the raft up and move it to the right."
Seeing the light behind him again, Lu Xuan suddenly thrust the harpoon in his hand forward, and with one hand he held the harpoon in Shen Keyin's hand and thrust it forward as well.
"good!"
Shen Keyin didn't say a word, but just fully cooperated with Lu Xuan's actions.
