Chapter 162: Chapter 139: Ambush on All Sides (Part 2)

White Dragon stubbornly refused to let go, allowing the wild boar to drag him forward.

After being dragged for about half a meter, White Dragon leaned his body against the boar and gave a violent shake of his head and neck.

The wild boar felt a sharp pain in its ear and violently threw its head back.

The toss missed White Dragon completely, but he went tumbling backward.

Why?

White Dragon was seen lying on the snow. He twisted his body, sprang back to his feet, and spat out half of the boar’s ear.

Its ear bitten off, the boar wasn’t about to let it go. It let out a squeal and charged at White Dragon.

Da Huang lunged forward and bit one of the boar’s front legs, but the boar’s charge was so ferocious that it sent Da Huang staggering.

White Dragon ran in a circle. After just a few steps, he nearly collided with Daqing. Seeing the boar’s ferocious advance, Da Huang and Daqing scattered in different directions.

The boar chased straight after White Dragon.

But it seemed to have forgotten that the most vicious of the four dogs was Huabiao.

Hua Xiao’er had already snuck up behind the boar. He lunged, latched onto the end of its large intestine, and yanked.

"SQUEAL..." The boar let out a pained cry and turned to chase Hua Xiao’er.

But as it turned, the pulled-out intestine snagged on a thin branch. When the boar ran forward, the intestine still attached to it pulled the branch into a bow.

The boar only felt pain and thought another dog had bitten it. It immediately spun in a circle but saw no dog.

As it spun, the intestine became tightly entangled in the branch, wrapping tighter and becoming more painful with every turn.

The boar finally plopped down on its rear, figuring that if it hid its backside, the dogs couldn’t bite it.

But the moment it sat down, all four dogs descended on it at once, latching on like clamps, biting its front legs, and attacking its rear.

When its two—left and right...

No, when its one and a half ears were grabbed by Daqing and White Dragon, it was too difficult for the boar to get up again.

"I shall take its life!" Outside the woods, Li Baoyu shouted, mimicking a line from a comic book, and charged into the forest.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly yelled, "Baoyu, take the gun!"

A moment ago, Li Baoyu had wanted to cut a stick to mount his blade on, but Zhao Jun hadn’t let him because there were no suitable saplings nearby.

Besides, Zhao Jun had wanted Li Baoyu to use the bayonet on the front of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle to kill the boar. With blood grooves on both sides, the bayonet was a deadly tool for killing pigs and roe deer.

But Li Baoyu hadn’t taken the gun from Zhao Jun’s hands, nor had he fashioned a spear. He just charged straight into the woods.

Zhao Jun called out to him, but it was too late to stop him.

Li Baoyu was heard shouting back without turning his head, "No need! I have a knife."

"Then at least mount it on something!"

Zhao Jun yelled again, but Li Baoyu didn’t answer.

He watched as Li Baoyu, holding the dagger-like Invasion Blade, circled behind the boar and closed the distance in two quick leaps.

Li Baoyu grabbed a handful of the boar’s back bristles with his left hand and thrust forward with his right, plunging the blade into the boar’s neck.

"GURGLE."

A sound escaped the boar’s throat. Li Baoyu pulled the knife out, unleashing a column of blood, then immediately stabbed it again!

As the blade went in a second time, Li Baoyu, still holding the bristles, could feel the boar’s struggles weakening.

Li Baoyu withdrew the knife and pushed the boar forward with the hand holding its bristles. Daqing and White Dragon seized the opportunity to pin it to the snow.

Outside the woods, Zhao Jun and the others were dumbfounded.

Watching Li Baoyu stride out of the woods, proud and triumphant, Jiang Ming finally closed his gaping mouth and muttered, "This little brother is pretty fierce..."

Just as he said the word "fierce," Huang Gui secretly nudged Jiang Ming with his elbow. Jiang Ming immediately understood and loudly corrected himself to cover it up, "So badass!"

"Hahaha..." Hearing the praise, Li Baoyu laughed smugly.

Zhao Jun gave him a helpless look. The patch of forest had been too chaotic, full of branches and twigs that obstructed his line of sight for a shot. That was why he had agreed to let Li Baoyu go in for a knife kill.

But he hadn’t expected the kid to be so flashy about it.

"Brother, it’s done." Li Baoyu came up to Zhao Jun and said.

Zhao Jun broke into a smile. He took the Invasion Blade from Li Baoyu’s hand and said, "Not bad. My brother’s the hero today. I’ll gut this boar."

With that, Zhao Jun walked back into the forest with the knife. Wei Lai, Huang Gui, and Jiang Ming went to help him.

Zhou Jianjun had never done this kind of work before. Seeing there were enough hands over there, he didn’t go forward. Instead, he just praised Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, not bad. You’ve really got some skills."

Li Baoyu chuckled. He had been hunting with Zhao Jun for quite some time, but this was the first time Zhao Jun was doing the gutting for him.

Just then, Zhou Jianjun asked Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, if I start raising dogs and learning to shoot now, how long do you think it would take before I could go hunting in the mountains like Xiaojun?"

"Huh?" Li Baoyu was taken aback by the question. He looked down at Zhou Jianjun and saw he wasn’t joking. Li Baoyu couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He said, "Brother-in-law, don’t you like fishing?"

Zhou Jianjun thought for a moment before saying, "I don’t think fishing is as interesting as this."

"Well..." Li Baoyu scratched his head. He blinked and, under Zhou Jianjun’s expectant gaze, had no choice but to say, "Brother-in-law, you’re a cadre at the Forest Farm. You’re busy enough as it is. Where would you find the time to hunt?"

"Why not?" Zhou Jianjun said. "I can go on my days off."

Li Baoyu was at a loss. He looked toward the woods and saw Zhao Jun and the others dragging the boar out. He quickly said, "Brother-in-law, I’m going to go help them with the pig."

Seeing Li Baoyu run over, Zhao Jun laughed. "I was starting to think you weren’t going to lend us a hand."

Li Baoyu gave a dry laugh, took the boar’s trotter from Zhao Jun’s hand, and pulled with all his might toward the edge of the forest.
