Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Eyes Blood Red Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Eyes Blood Red “Is there a difference?” Big Bull was utterly confused; to him, all the pigs looked the same.
“Of course, there’s a difference. Domestic pigs are docile, while wild boars are fierce. Didn’t you see they have two extra tusks? There have been hunters gored to death by wild boars before.”
“Oh! So that’s how it is!”
Only then did Big Bull realize, and he turned to look at Xuexue, saying earnestly, “Wife, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”
It was the sudden approaching sound of wild boars.
Xuexue peeked out and saw that a few wild boars had already spotted them, glaring in their direction with a menacing look, ready to attack them at any moment.
“Wife, wait here while I go out and deal with the wild boars. You should run immediately towards the direction with large trees, climb up and hide. I’ll handle things here.”
“Not happening–I know martial arts too. It’s a good opportunity to see if I’ve made any progress.” Xuexue, who was thinking about returning to the capital to seek revenge, wanted to take the chance to hunt wild boars to see if her martial arts had improved.
“That’s good then, but you must be careful, wife,” Big Bull nodded. Although he was powerful, he had many enemies, and he wouldn’t always be able to be by her side to protect her. Xuexue having the ability to protect herself also gave him peace of mind.
While they were talking, several wild boars charged fiercely, bearing down on them with a malevolent presence, about to collide with them.
Big Bull scooped up Xuexue in his arms and, in a flash, disappeared from the spot.
The wild boars were at a loss, having clearly seen intruders enter their territory just moments ago. How could they have vanished in the blink of an eye?
Big Bull appeared behind the wild boars, set Xuexue down, and cautioned, “Be careful, wife.”
“Hmm!” Xuexue clenched the sickle tightly in her hands, her eyes fixed on the several wild boars in front of her. This was her first life-and-death situation since her rebirth, and inevitably, she was somewhat nervous. She had quietly counted the wild boars–there were eight in total. It seemed like they had unintentionally stumbled into a wild boar’s den with both old and young present.
Wild boars have a keen sense of hearing. As soon as they spoke, the boars noticed and turned around, charging at them again.
In a flash, Big Bull intercepted seven of the boars, leaving one for Xuexue to practice on.
In the blink of an eye, Big Bull engaged in combat with them.
They were accustomed to living in the forest and were very familiar with the terrain. Moreover, their thick hide made them indifferent to the thorny vines.
Xuexue, however, was different. She had already been hurt by the vines before, and those thorns were still lodged in her foot. Although not too painful, she remained cautious of areas with vines.
The wild boar charged at Xuexue with ferocity…
Xuexue dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the charge. At that moment, she swung the sickle in her hand, cutting into the wild boar’s back.
The wounded wild boar, with bloodshot eyes, became even more frenzied. Summoning all its strength, it turned madly and charged at her again, coming on fiercely.
Seeing no way to avoid it, and about to be hit by the wild boar in a perilously dangerous situation, Big Bull, who was fighting with several other boars, was constantly watching Xuexue. Upon seeing what was happening, he broke into a cold sweat, knowing it was too late to save her.
In the nick of time, following two sounds, Xuexue somehow managed to slide under the belly of the wild boar, emerging unscathed, but the sickle in her hand was dripping with fresh blood…
