The pond was not like the place where Bai Junjun and the others had fallen. It was already the end, with the only way leading towards the jungle while the other directions were essentially blocked, making it unnecessary to waste energy going in those directions.
When Li Wenli woke up, he found himself in a vast jungle, and next to him was a little child. The sight before his eyes gave him a massive headache.
After all, apart from Ah Dao, his team consisted solely of little kids. Of course, having a twelve-year-old Rabbit was already enough for him, but now a four-year-old appeared, and Li Wenli felt like God was playing a joke on him.
Moreover, the first thing the child did upon opening his eyes was to start looking for his sister, and when he couldn’t find her, he began to wail loudly.
Strangely enough, whenever he cried, it would start to rain without fail.
Li Wenli went through a thousand thoughts. To be honest, he had thought about sneaking away in the middle of the night.
However, after he discovered Bai Lingyu’s secret, he ultimately chose to keep Bai Lingyu by his side. The two wandered aimlessly for a day, clueless about where to go, and could only return to the edge of the pond.
That very night they encountered a wild boar on patrol.
The two had been staying in a cave near the pond, which lacked any shelter, so encountering a wild boar in the middle of the night was very troublesome.
Luckily, Li Wenli was vigilant and knew the wild boar had invaded. He immediately scooped up Bai Lingyu and hid in a higher place.
Otherwise, the two could have been flattened and sent flying by the wild boar.
However, Li Wenli’s Special Ability had already been used up during the release of Wind Blade walls, so at this moment, he had nothing but his flesh and blood.
Unable to do anything, Li Wenli could only cower and watch helplessly as the wild boar wrecked their "home" from a higher vantage point.
The wild fruits that Li Wenli had found during the day were also wasted, becoming fodder for the wild boar’s stomach. Moreover, after this scavenging incident, the wild boar, having tasted the sweetness, came back the next night with its family.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Wenli then set a trap using food to incite a brawl among the wild boars and dug a pit to wait for the brawling boars to fall into.
However, when he went to check on the spoils, he found that apart from some bloodstains, the wild boar had already vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Bai Lingyu sighed as he looked at the empty pit.
"The wild boar ran away."
Lamentably, all the tree branches he had collected the day before were for naught.
Li Wenli asserted, "Impossible, there definitely was a bastard here who stole my wild boar!"
"How could that be?" Bai Lingyu widened his eyes.
Li Wenli glanced at the smooth walls of the pit, scoffing.
He had expended a great deal of effort on this trap, digging it two meters deep!
No wild boar had legs long enough to get out!
Moreover, he had filled the pit with spears, leaving no room for escape. Once a wild boar fell in, there was absolutely no chance they could escape.
Lastly, if it really could have escaped, how could the walls still be as smooth as new? He had even meticulously used a Dagger to shave it smooth after digging it. Even using Wind Blade might not have made it this neat.
Yet, someone was able to silently steal his wild boar.
This meant that the person was either a local resident or a bandit or soldier hiding in these mountains.
For his own safety, Li Wenli set up a second trap overnight, the Heavenly Net, firmly believing that the person who had freeloaded a wild boar would surely come again. Thus, Li Wenli set the second stage here, waiting for the person to arrive.
