Chapter 60 My Fierce Older Sister
Although his mind was full of questions, the threat of "breaking his legs" and the chilling murderous aura emanating from Xu Zhili made him make the most instinctive choice in an instant—to obey.
Like a wolf cub being targeted by a predator, he nimbly darted toward a nearby, equally sturdy tree. Using both hands and feet, he quickly climbed up a thick branch four or five meters off the ground, securing himself firmly to the trunk. Holding his breath, he stared intently at the direction where Xu Zhili was hiding and the path of the hoofprints below.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to share joys and sorrows with his sister and move forward hand in hand; it was simply that his sister's orders were like ironclad laws, and he had no choice but to obey them.
The forest was eerily silent; even the chirping of insects had vanished.
A suffocating tension filled the air, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Snap... Splash...
A heavy, forceful sound, approaching from afar, broke the deathly silence.
The bushes were roughly parted, accompanied by the sickening cracking of branches.
A massive, dark shadow covered in thick, bristle-like hair slowly emerged.
Good heavens!
This wild boar is incredibly large, weighing at least four or five hundred pounds.
Its head was enormous, and its two mud-covered fangs, like two curved daggers, gleamed with a sinister white light in the dim light.
It was panting heavily, its small eyes flashing with a fierce and violent light, as it used its long, arched beak to rummage through the pile of fallen leaves for food. With each step it took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
A strong, nauseating stench of wild game instantly filled the air.
Xie Yunze, who was in the tree, gasped and instinctively clenched his fist until his knuckles turned white.
He stared intently at the slender figure below, his heart pounding in his chest.
This thing...
Can my sister handle this?
Xu Zhili seemed to have become one with the ancient tree, remaining completely still.
Only those eyes calmly calculated the wild boar's movement trajectory, pace, and exposed weaknesses.
Unaware of what was happening, the wild boar was foraging towards the tree where Xu Zhili was hiding.
The distance is getting closer... five meters... three meters...
Now!
Xu Zhili moved!
She didn't just leap out; she burst forth like a spring compressed to its limit! Her figure moved so fast that it left a blurry afterimage.
There were no shouts, only the chilling shriek of a machete tearing through the air.
"Pfft—!"
A sickening, dull sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.
With the full force and momentum of Xu Zhili's body, the sharp machete cleaved precisely and fiercely below the wild boar's relatively vulnerable shoulder blade, near its spine! The cut was so deep that the bone was visible.
An ordinary wood-chopping knife wouldn't have such power; it struck the target with a single blow. This was all thanks to Xu Zhili's powerful mental strength and astonishing power.
"Awooo—!!!"
The wild boar let out a deafening scream filled with excruciating pain and rage! The intense pain drove it into a frenzy.
Its massive body twisted violently, its fangs whistling a foul wind, as it savagely charged at the attacker.
Its force was so great that it could snap a small tree as thick as a bowl!
The moment Xu Zhili landed the first blow, she had already used her terrifying core strength and flexibility to bounce backward in an almost impossible arc.
Its fangs whizzed past, brushing against the hem of her clothes.
She landed as lightly as a cat, without pausing for a moment. She raised her machete again, her eyes as cold as iron, fixing them on the wild boar whose movements were slightly sluggish due to the intense pain.
A life-or-death battle, though fiercely contested, unfolded instantly.
Xu Zhili's figure darted and leaped through the forest, as fast as a ghost.
She made full use of the trees as cover, each dodge was extremely dangerous, and each attack was ruthless and cunning.
The machete in her hand transformed into the scythe of death, continuously adding deep, bone-revealing wounds to the wild boar.
The roars of wild boars, the sounds of them charging, the slicing of knives into flesh, and the cracking of trees breaking—all these intertwine to create a bloody and violent jungle symphony.
Xie Yunze, watching from the tree, felt his blood boil.
He was no longer simply tense; he was completely ignited by the violent, aesthetically pleasing battle before him.
He watched Xu Zhili's slender yet terrifyingly powerful figure, watched her daring dodges and fierce counterattacks against the fangs, and watched her profile, splattered with wild boar blood yet still cold and focused.
A powerful surge of emotion, a mixture of awe, reverence, and some indescribable burning feeling, raged wildly in his chest.
He gritted his teeth to keep from shouting out his excitement, but his eyes shone like burning stars, filled with undisguised fervor.
My older sister is so decisive and ruthless, I love her.
what to do!
My heart was pounding uncontrollably.
Finally, Xu Zhili seized upon a moment when the wild boar staggered due to excessive blood loss.
Her eyes flashed with a cold light, and her body shot out like an arrow. The machete in her hand was no longer used for chopping, but rather like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, accurately and ruthlessly stabbing into the most fatal crevice in the wild boar's skull behind its ear!
"puff--!"
A dull, muffled sound!
The machete was almost completely embedded in the wood.
The wild boar's massive body stiffened abruptly, and its ferocious roar abruptly ceased.
Those fierce little eyes instantly lost all their luster, leaving only empty, lifeless ashes.
Its massive body swayed, like a mountain stripped of all its support, before crashing to the ground with a deafening roar.
The heavy thud made the fallen leaves on the ground jump.
The forest instantly fell silent again.
The only sounds were the strong smell of blood and Xu Zhili's slightly rapid breathing.
Xu Zhili pulled out her wood-chopping knife, casually flicking away the warm droplets of blood from the blade. The cold edge reflected a scarlet light in the dappled sunlight.
She raised her hand and casually wiped away a splatter of blood on her cheek with the back of her hand, her movements carrying a sense of detachment after the fact, as if the thrilling fight just now was nothing more than swatting a fly.
"Wow...that's amazing..."
Xie Yunze's voice, trembling slightly and brimming with barely suppressed excitement, came from the tree.
He slid down the tree like a nimble ape, ran quickly to Xu Zhili's side, his eyes sparkling as he circled the huge wild boar carcass, then looked at Xu Zhili with pure, undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"Sister! You're amazing! You're like a legendary female warrior."
Xu Zhili glanced at him, ignoring his flattery. She was slightly out of breath, her chest heaving, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her eyes remained clear and sharp.
She walked over to the wild boar, kicked its heavy body, and spoke in a voice that was hoarse from the battle and carried an undeniable determination.
"Stop talking nonsense, come here, tie it up tightly, carry it back, and make it an extra meal for everyone."
"Okay!"
Xie Yunze responded loudly, his face beaming with excitement, and immediately got to work.
He nimbly searched for sturdy vines, and the two of them worked together, using every method they could to firmly bind the enormous creature to the thick wooden pole they had brought beforehand.
As Xu Zhili carried the heavy "spoils of war" on her way home, Xie Yunze followed behind.
