Chapter 160: Chapter 157: The Thorny Rose (Additional Update, Request for Votes)

Zeng Shan was already very tired from walking during the day, and now he had to fight off drowsiness to stand guard in the middle of the night. His eyes were blurry, as if he would close them any second.

"Huff... huff... huff~~~"

An increasingly heavy breathing sound grew louder, but those asleep didn’t notice. Ye Tian slightly curled his lips, showing no intention of getting up.

"Hachoo! Who... who is cursing me??"

Zeng Shan raised his bleary eyes, looking around and just happened to meet those blood-red eyes.

"Gulp... gulp..."

Zeng Shan couldn’t help but swallow hard, his feet retreating continuously. He picked up a branch from the ground, his body slightly bent, drenched in cold sweat. As the cold wind blew, his whole body trembled.

"Caution... caution, there are beasts!!!"

Zeng Shan didn’t dare to shout too loudly, fearing the noise would attract all the beasts around.

At this time, Black Rose and a dozen bodyguards all came out of the tent, holding guns in their hands. Just waking up, Old Tie and Old Shui’s pupils involuntarily contracted when they saw the situation.

"Boom....."

Those black shadows with blood-red eyes sprang out.

They had gray skin covered by coarse black bristles. Shinier bristles formed around their necks. Their bodies were strong, limbs thick and short, heads relatively long, ears small and erect, muzzles protruding like a cone, and tusks very long and sharp.

"It’s... it’s Coffin Mountain wild boars. Everyone, don’t move. These boars are fiercer than tigers. Their skin can’t be pierced by handguns, so don’t fire recklessly."

The elderly village head came out of the tent, rubbed his eyes, and took a few steps back, falling to the ground in terror.

Seeing the elderly man’s panic, Black Rose also put away her relaxed expression, looking at the wild boars with interest. She handed her gun to a bodyguard and pulled a small knife from her waist.

"What’s she doing? Does she plan to kill four wild boars by herself?"

"Impossible. In our village, it takes five of the strongest adult men to barely kill one."

The elderly village head, still on the ground, shook his head vigorously.

Black Rose said nothing, holding the small knife and smiling at the four wild boars. Under the moonlight, Black Rose appeared so enchanting, like a thorny rose blooming on Coffin Mountain.

Ye Tian also came out, standing next to Zeng Shan, looking ahead.

"Young Master Ye, do you think Black Rose is being overconfident? These wild boars are definitely not ordinary. Look at those tusks. I think they could pierce through a thick iron plate."

Zeng Shan steadied himself, analyzing the situation.

"Don’t worry. There are more than a dozen of us here. We’re not afraid of a few pigs."

Ye Tian said with a smile, then stared at Black Rose. Just reached Dark-grade, no wonder she’s confident.

"Big sister, you..."

Some bodyguards, who had been silent, finally spoke, but Black Rose made a reassuring gesture and walked towards the wild boars.

"I’ve just reached Dark-grade. Let’s see how you fare as practice!"

Black Rose murmured to herself.

The four wild boars lowered their heads, their hind legs stomping the ground. With a loud roar, they charged into the crowd.

Black Rose became a red phantom, her feet displaying an uncanny movement technique. She wove through the wild boars. Under the moonlight, blood glistened, the shine of her knife reflecting and causing Zeng Shan and the others to squint and quickly cover their eyes.

When they opened their eyes, three wild boars crashed to the ground, a fresh red blood seal on their necks where the knife had deeply pierced.

The sound of people collectively sucking in their breath echoed. No wonder she’s the leader; her strength is terrifying. A thorny Black Rose can’t be messed with.

Black Rose remained expressionless, her small knife dripping blood onto the ground. She slowly walked towards the last wild boar. The air was eerily silent.

The final wild boar, seeing its companions killed within minutes, shook its head violently, its eyes growing keener, blood-red, and huffing loudly, seemingly enraged by its kin’s deaths.

It knew it wasn’t a match for the woman, so its feral eyes turned to Ye Tian and the others watching. With a powerful push of its hind legs, it charged like a speeding arrow.

Zeng Shan, once enraptured by Black Rose’s prowess, momentarily dulled, watching the wild boar charge. Death had never seemed so close.

Black Rose was too far to save him. She shook her head, already mentally prepared to clean up the dead.

But Ye Tian, with two fingers on his hidden left hand, held a grain of sand—the culprit that had disturbed his sleep in the tent.

"Shush... shush... shush..."

Ye Tian flicked his fingers, instantly launching the grain. Under a super magnifying glass, one would see the sand burn through friction with the air, splitting into four tiny grains, all piercing through the wild boar’s steel-like body.

"Bang~~~~"

The wild boar crashed down, eyes filled with human-like fear, seemingly witnessing the impossible.

"What happened? I’m not dead. Old Tie, I’m okay, haha!!!"

Old Shui excitedly hugged Old Tie.

"Huh???"

Black Rose used her movement technique to run over and examined the wild boar closely. Besides the minor scratches she had inflicted, there were no other fatal wounds. How did it suddenly collapse?

She could never have guessed that the fatal wounds were molecular in size. If she could see those with the naked eye, she wouldn’t be human.

Black Rose frowned, puzzledly looking at Ye Tian and his group. She found nothing unusual. Old Shui was the only one who seemed strong, while Ye Tian looked slim, pale, and weak. Forget it.

"Alright, it’s over. Let’s sleep. We need to climb the mountain early tomorrow. Don’t linger around!!"

Black Rose temporarily set aside her doubts, motioning everyone to return.

Zeng Shan gave Ye Tian a meaningful look. He knew Ye Tian was behind it. That day in Tage City, he had witnessed Ye Tian’s prowess. Although not as striking as Black Rose’s, it was far more mysterious.

Ye Tian seemed to sense Zeng Shan’s gaze, turned, smiled at him, then pulled the tent curtain and went back to sleep. That annoying grain of sand was finally gone.

Perhaps the scare helped everyone sleep better; they slept soundly and sweetly.

Little did they know, the wild boar’s blood turning yellow outside and its pupils dead gray. The moon took on a sinister hue, casting yellow light.

The large pool of blood on the ground shrank into wisp upon wisp of yellow smoke, slowly drifting deep into Coffin Mountain. A few crows flew by, instantly decomposing into skeletal remains, falling and hanging on a dead tree.

"Where did those wild boars go? They were here yesterday, right? How did they disappear!!!"

The village head shouted, pointing to the ground, looking at Black Rose and the others.

"Maybe other beasts took them away. As long as no one is hurt, it’s fine. Who knows if eating mutated wild boar is safe!!"

Zeng Shan said.

The group continued deeper, the place they had just been, vanishing like an illusion, shattering away. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
