Chapter 17 Go Back



Xia Lunong had never held a pig in his mouth in his life.

Most people probably had never had such a terrifying experience.

The wind whistled past his ears, and his howling was almost echoing.

The branches around him snapped, and in addition to his own shouts, there were all kinds of howls behind him.

The whole scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Gradually, Xia Lunong slowed down a little. He raised his neck with difficulty and turned his eyes to look around.

The one holding him was not his brother, but Yan Xinian.

I don’t know if it’s because his eyes have adapted to the darkness, but he can now see the things around him more clearly.

There was a large group of black shadows chasing them from behind. He counted them with difficulty. There were at least forty of them. Judging from their appearance, they should be pigs. The herd of

pigs were charging at the back, running very fast.

Liao Cheng, who was behind, was almost caught by the wild boars several times, but he exerted force and pulled away a little.

Xia Lunong kept looking with his neck erect. This group of wild boars were just like wasps, as if they would not stop until they stung them.

As long as the distance between the two sides was shortened, the wild boars would try to butt them.

They had to keep running.

They kept running.

Xia Lunong went from fear to numbness, and even felt a little relieved in the numbness. Being held in the mouth was not pleasant, but at least it was more comfortable than his brother Liao Cheng running for his life.

He saw Liao Cheng several times sticking out his tongue, panting and stumbling forward, as if he wanted to stop and rest, but was stopped by the pigs behind and continued to run.

Worry appeared in Xia Lunong's eyes.

These wild boars seemed to have great endurance. If they kept running, Liao Cheng would probably be exhausted to death soon.

Xia Lunong opened his mouth, wanting to remind Yan Xinian, but in the end, he said nothing.

He had no experience in hunting in the wild, and didn't know what to do.

"Woof——" Liao Cheng let out a long, terrified roar. He was almost caught up again, but Xia Huoqu rushed over and bit the wild boar behind him, stopping the wild boar's momentum.

Xia Lunong watched with his eyes wide open, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

Fortunately, his brother was agile enough, he took a bite and ran away, without wanting to fight, and ran out of the encirclement with Liao Cheng.

This night of running will be a night that Xia Lunong will never forget.

They didn't know how long they ran until they reached another residential area, and the wild boars behind them gradually dispersed.

Xia Huoqu turned his head to look at the five pigs tied behind him, and suddenly turned his head, roaring "Ao Wu" and rushing towards the pigs.

He bit the neck of the largest pig among those pigs, and half of its neck was broken. Blood spurted out and it let out a long and mournful cry on the spot.

The remaining few rushed over to surround him and wanted to hit him, but he jumped up to avoid them.

"Brother--" Xia Lunong's heart was pounding, and his hands and feet reflexively struggled in Yan Xinian's mouth, trying to rush to his brother.

He failed to break free, and the next one, after a moment of weightlessness, his vision became confused, and he was put on the ground.

Xia Lunong turned over and sat up.

The huge white tiger blew past him like a gust of wind, and its head hit one of the pigs that besieged him.

A groan came from the herd of pigs.

In just a moment, two of the wild boars fell down, and the remaining three howled and fled forward desperately.

In the blink of an eye, the war was over.

None of them counted the spoils, and they all lay on the ground to rest.

The white wolf, the giant tiger, and the big yellow dog were all panting, one after another, like the wind blowing in winter, whistling.

Especially the big yellow dog, the whole dog lay on the ground, with its two hind legs spread out, looking completely paralyzed, no longer caring about its image.

Xia Lunong rested for a while, then walked to his brother carefully stepping on the messy plants, hugged his brother's neck, and touched his skin under the fur.

His touch was very hot, but there was no sweat.

Xia Lunong looked at his brother with worry in his eyes. Xia

Huoqu let out an "Ao" and gently nudged him, indicating that he should take a break.

Xia Lunong hugged his brother's neck, then turned his head to look at the two pigs lying on the ground, "Is it okay to smell blood like this?"

"Ao." His brother said again.

Xia Lunong heard that this meant it was okay.

He breathed a sigh of relief, picked a bush that was not poisonous or thorny nearby, broke off two branches and put them under his buttocks, and began to rest against his brother with a daze.

Tonight was too exciting, and he is still a little overwhelmed.

He rubbed his brother's soft long hair, looking depressed.

He didn't move much tonight, but he was tired from being frightened. After sitting for a while, he began to feel sleepy. His upper and lower eyelids seemed to be covered with glue and couldn't be separated once they were stuck together.

He was very sleepy, but he didn't dare to really fall asleep, for fear of another accident.

Xia Huoqu nudged him with his head, his eyes were very gentle.

That meant to signal him to sleep.

He understood vaguely, leaned back a little, put his hand on his brother, and fell asleep quickly with his head on his brother's soft long hair.

He probably slept in the second half of the night. Even in the short few hours in the second half of the night, he didn't sleep well. He woke up every time he slept for a while, and looked around with his big eyes until he scanned the figures of the three people, then he lowered his eyelids with peace of mind and continued to sleep.

At daybreak, Yan Xinian got up, changed back into human form, put on his clothes, and went to check the place where the fight took place last night.

Xia Lunong got up as well, dragging his aching body to Yan Xinian's side, "Brother Xinian."

After he called out to him, he glanced at the place where the fight took place last night.

The fight lasted a long time last night, and he was far away, so he didn't think it was that dangerous.

Now looking again, the grass and trees were lying on the ground.

Several trees as thick as bowls were broken in half, with only a little bark left connecting them. The leaves were trampled into the mud, and blood was spurting out on them.

The dark red bloodstains and the green leaves were intertwined, which was terrifying to watch.

Yan Xinian patted his shoulder, bent down and turned over the wild boar's body, and pulled out two tails from its hind hips, "Are you scared?"

Xia Lunong shook his head and nodded, "A little scared, it will be fine after a while."

Yan Xinian dragged the pig's legs and lifted up the pig that looked to be about two hundred pounds, and smiled at him, "Don't worry too much, this kind of situation is rare when we go out to search for supplies."

"Does that mean pigs generally don't chase people?"

"No, it's just that there aren't so many pigs chasing together."

Yan Xinian lifted the pig to a flatter place, and then went to pick up the piglet.

Xia Lunong hurried over to help, and whispered, "How many pigs usually chase us?"

"It depends on luck, usually only three or five. We might have poked a pig's nest last night." Yan Xinian said, "There are indeed too many pigs nearby. We have to organize people to go out and clean them up when we have time." As

Yan Xinian spoke, he had already looked over the piglet.

The piglet had an extra ear, and two more pig trotters grew at the joint of its hind hooves.

"You can't eat this one." Yan Xinian regretfully lifted the piglet a little further away and threw it under the tree.

Xia Lunong followed closely and whispered, "What will happen if you eat it?"

"If you're lucky, you'll have diarrhea for a few days. If you're unlucky, you'll have a fever, and then your brain will be burned. Even if you treat your supernatural powers, it won't work." Yan Xinian warned, "Don't try to bet on this probability unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Oh."

"Xiao Nong?" Xia Huoqu also got up, put on his clothes and walked behind them, "How is it?"

Yan Xinian made way for a little space and showed the two pigs, "Only this big one can be eaten."

Xia Huoqu wiped his face and said with his eyes wide open, "It's a big loss."

"It's not bad, but I have to take a detour to go back."

While he was talking, Liao Cheng also woke up.

"You all got up." He took out his clothes from his backpack and put them on, muttering, "I was scared to death last night."

Xia Huoqu went over and patted his shoulder, saying nothing.

Liao Cheng sighed: "I'm really not suitable for hunting. I won't show off next time."

Yan Xinian said: "Just practice more. Extreme situations like last night won't happen every time." Liao

Cheng was relieved to hear that he was not angry.

Yan Xinian: "We were too tired last night. Let's just eat something and go back."

Xia Lunong went to get the pot, "Do you want to cut a piece of pork to cook?"

"No, we don't have all the tools. Just make something to eat." Yan Xinian came over with firewood, "Xiao Nong, you cook, we will help you."

Xia Lunong asked: "Then let's make hand-torn chicken. The big bones inside can be used to make soup and boil some vegetables?"

No one had any objections, and Xia Lunong worked skillfully.

We were so exhausted last night that after a simple breakfast, the four of us sat around the pot, not caring about anything else, and started eating.

After finishing the meal, we packed up our things.

Yan Xinian turned back into a giant tiger first, and the other three lifted the pig onto his back, carefully tying it up with ropes to ensure that the pig would not fall off even if he ran at high speed.

Xia Huoqu and Liao Cheng also turned back into beast forms, while Xia Lunong sat on his brother's back.

In fact, they had only been out for more than a day, but Xia Lunong felt like he had been in the wild for a long time.

The excitement he had just had was completely gone, and he was now only left with exhaustion.

They were chased around by the pig yesterday, and now they had to go back, crossing mountains and ridges, and all they had to do was walk on mountain roads.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any additional danger.

In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, they returned to the base.

The sentry standing on the city wall saw them coming back and came over to inquire.

Xia Lunong hugged his brother's neck, his thighs were rubbed sore, and he was limp. He was not interested in the sentry's interrogation at all.

After entering the base and going down the mountain, Yan Xinian carried the pig to the canteen. After the canteen processed it, the four of them divided the meat.

The Xia brothers and Liao Cheng also parted ways.

Back in front of the yard, Xia Lunong slid off his brother, watched his brother return to human form, put on his clothes, and took out the key from his backpack to open the door.

He put down his backpack at the door, lay down on the sofa, and sighed with satisfaction.

His brother walked in and gently kicked his leg, "Go take a shower and eat first, then come back to sleep after eating."

"It's still early, take a rest first." Xia Lunong moved his butt towards the sofa, motioning his brother to come over and sit.

Seeing him like this, Xia Huoqu asked, "Do you want to go out to collect next time?"

Xia Lunong stared at the ceiling, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Yes."

"I want to learn to transform into a beast as soon as possible, brother, how did you learn to transform into a beast?"
