Mountain Looting: Targeted by a Leopard at the Start
Chapter 230 - 229: Special Operation, Hunting the Wild Boar King!

Chapter 230: Chapter 229: Special Operation, Hunting the Wild Boar King!

Xu Yang had been away on a business trip for four days and had just returned to the farm.

He could indeed be described as returning with fruitful results.

After all, as the farmer, he always had to go out to make money and then invest it back into the farm to pay everyone’s salary.

Being a boss is quite stressful these days.

Nobody knew what had happened during those four days.

Even the people in Hetian had no idea.

He came quietly, just as he had left quietly.

With a wave of his sleeve, he took away hundreds of thousands.

He made a killing.

The farm was now rejuvenated, with lots of weeds sprouting on the bare land.

For aesthetics, weeding was occasionally necessary.

The little ones still looked joyful.

After Xu Yang put down his luggage, he took a short rest and then went to feed the fox and the pasture dog their postnatal meal.

Having these animals on his farm, Xu Yang definitely needed to take good care of them.

The fox had given birth to four kits, which was not an easy feat.

The pasture dog had given birth to three pups.

From their fur, one pasture dog was pure white, one was grey, and another had a black head and a white body.

The last pup’s head color was a stubborn remnant of Little Black’s genes.

If it weren’t for the black head on this pup, Xu Yang would have doubted whether it was Little Black’s offspring.

The white gene was just too dominant.

Unsurprisingly, Xu Yang named the third pup either "Black Charcoal," "Black Charcoal Head," or just "Charcoal."

Anyway, that was what he called it.

This type of pasture dog was not rare, with a black head and the rest of the body white.

The division was very clear.

These little ones had just opened their eyes not long ago, with their fur slightly grown out.

The mother dog protected them very well, not letting Xu Yang see them.

There’s a saying that pasture dogs only feel safe to show their pups to people when they are three months old.

The fox’s side was quite lively.

Not shy at all.

Little Fox was very small, just having sprouted fur.

Its body and head were especially small, hiding behind its mother fox, curiously sizing up Xu Yang.

They were still young, both nervous and curious about the outside world.

Once they grew a bit older, their courage would grow as well.

Then they would dare to run around the farm.

The farm had been peaceful until then.

But in the past two days, an incident had stirred up the mountains.

There was a very fierce wild boar on the mountain behind the farm.

Xu Yang had encountered this boar before; it was exceptionally large and ferocious, with a strong desire to attack.

It was unmatched.

Even a leopard was no match for its size.

Recently, a farmer had been attacked by this boar while going up the mountain, resulting in severe injuries.

The farmer had immediately called the police.

With such an animal attack, it was the police’s turn to take the stage.

If it were just an ordinary boar running amok, the police would drive it away or capture it using minimal force.

However, for a particularly aggressive wild boar, they would resort to using firearms.

The application to use firearms had been approved, and the police were prepared to enter the mountains to hunt the boar.

Since the boar was fierce, they didn’t waste words and planned to shoot it dead.

Upon hearing the news from his staff, Xu Yang was quite worried.

Not about the boar, because such a boar deserved to be killed.

He was a bit worried about the two leopards and that silly black bear.

He hoped these guys wouldn’t foolishly attack the police.

These armed police entering the mountain could shoot on sight if attacked by wild animals.

Therefore, Xu Yang talked to the local police, asking if he could join them in the mountains.

He was familiar with the mountain terrain, and he had a good idea of where the wild boar might be.

Ordinarily, civilians wouldn’t be allowed to join such operations involving firearms.

But when the operation leader heard Xu Yang would come, he immediately invited him over.

He even provided him with a baton and a bulletproof vest.

Xu Yang was directly enlisted.

Even the police knew that Xu Yang was the top expert of the mountain, nobody knew it better than him.

Moreover, Xu Yang wasn’t afraid of tigers or leopards, which made things easier if they encountered them.

The police also didn’t want to clash with other wildlife; they had merely been ordered to "eliminate the wild boar menace," which is why they entered the mountain.

The officer carrying a gun was a SWAT member, equipped with a black Type-95 rifle and skilled in marksmanship.

On a sunny and pleasant afternoon, Xu Yang joined the police and headed into the mountain.

The farm’s employees watched as Xu Yang departed.

"Why is the farmer joining the police operation? Is he assigned to them?"

Zheng Xiangqian asked curiously.

Hearing this, Wang Wu told him:

"The farmer has a good relationship with the police station, and he has an official wildlife center certification."

"Our local station handles many calls related to wildlife. Having our farm nearby saves them a lot of trouble."

"Plus, the farmer knows the mountains well. There was an incident of a tourist getting lost in the mountain during winter, and it was the farmer who joined the search team and found them."

Hearing Wang Wu’s words, Zheng Xiangqian was quite surprised.

Our farmer is truly a remarkable man.

Quite capable.

Xu Yang followed the police further inside.

As they passed the Agricultural University’s experimental fields, many students were taking photos with their phones.

They had heard about the wild boar situation, and the school had decided not to let them come for the next couple of days.

There was also a guard outside the experimental fields, not allowing students to wander off.

After all, no one could bear responsibility if an incident occurred.

Previously, the wild boars weren’t very large and not very capable of causing serious injuries.

This time, however, the boar involved was a Wild Boar King, very large with tusks and a strong desire to attack, making it highly dangerous.

The employees noticed Xu Yang’s outfit.

Dressed in a black police vest and holding a baton, he looked quite capable.

"Is that Brother Yang?"

"It’s him, why is he entering the forest with the police?"

"Could it be they are going to catch the Wild Boar King, don’t the police have a special operation for that?"

"It seems so indeed!"

The students discussed animatedly, taking pictures of Xu Yang and the police entering the forest together, and then posted them online.

Nothing is fresh news in this era.

The internet can expose anything in real time online.

The actions of Xu Yang and the police wouldn’t be streamed live, but images of them entering the forest were uploaded online by the students.

Seeing this scene, netizens also found amusement.

"No way, Old Xu isn’t streaming, what is he up to?"

"Why is he entering the forest with the police, on patrol?"

Looking at the author’s comments, it seems they are going to hunt a giant wild boar that hurt someone!"

"How can such a fascinating event not be streamed?"

"It feels like you can see him everywhere except when he is streaming!"

The netizens discussed online.

Xu Yang didn’t pay attention to the buzz on the internet.

He and three police officers had already entered the forest, searching for the approximate location of the giant wild boar.

The police officers all wore body cameras that could record everything that happened in the mountain.

For them, the best approach was to secretly locate the wild boar and then shoot it from afar.

With the truth in hand, humans were invincible.

With their current squad set-up, they were not even afraid of Northeast Tigers.

"This mountain has lots of wild animals,"

The group passed a sign that read, "Beware of leopards and tigers, do not approach," and Xu Yang commented.

"There are leopards and black bears, as well as sika deer and hogs."

"There are wild boars, too, but they are usually not large."

"I have no idea where that wild boar came from."

Hearing this, the police officers all nodded their heads.

The four of them continued deeper into the forest.

Xu Yang was mainly leading the group since he was familiar with the mountain trails and could determine the wild boar’s approximate location.

After walking for a while, Xu Yang found many wild boar footprints.

"Look here, these are wild boar footprints, very messy ones,"

"There are footprints of both big and small wild boars."

"This might not be the Wild Boar King, just an ordinary wild boar. We can ignore it after seeing it,"

Xu Yang concluded.

The four continued forward and sure enough, a few minutes later, a wild boar emerged from the bushes ahead.

The wild boar wasn’t large and was followed by several piglets.

Upon seeing humans, they turned and ran on the spot.

Luckily, Xu Yang had warned them, and the police had prior knowledge of this.

Otherwise, the police might have opened fire then.

Just then, Xu Yang noticed something odd.

He saw among the little piglets following the wild boar, there was a pink piglet with a black heart-shaped spot on its waist.

"Ah? Is that... the little pig that ran away from the farm!"

"It’s still alive and living with a wild boar family?"

Xu Yang was dumbfounded.

The police also noticed this scene.

Liu Ming asked with a smile,

"Xu Yang, is this pig from your farm? Pretty impressive, running away with wild boars."

Xu Yang responded helplessly, "It escaped from the farm, ran incredibly fast, and I couldn’t catch up. I thought it was already dead."

"I didn’t expect to encounter it here!"

Since he was preoccupied, Xu Yang did not pursue the little pig.

He was simply astonished.

Unexpectedly, they would reunite.

This little guy was quite wild!

The four continued further into the mountain to find that aggressive Wild Boar King.

This guy was trouble; Xu Yang had been attacked by it before.

Although Xu Yang was fast enough to not be threatened by it.

"This guy is fast and fierce,"

"Look at this tree, the bark has been peeled clean recently."

"It must have been its doing."

"It’s nearby, not far off."

After walking a bit more, Xu Yang saw the dismal state of a tree and spoke up.

Hearing this, the police drew their black QBZ-95 rifles, set up their shooting stance, and prepared to take action.

All were trained and had attended live-firing courses, so shooting was not difficult for them.

It was just a matter of spotting where the wild boar was to avoid injuring people.

This area was especially dense with grass, the surroundings obscured.

After walking a bit more, they saw the grass ahead shaking wildly.

The fierce Wild Boar King also showed its head from the underbrush.

The Wild Boar King also saw the humans, or more accurately, it saw Xu Yang.

Having fought with Xu Yang before, it recognized him well.

Seeing him now got its temper flaring up, its eyes turning somewhat red.

This creature was truly ferocious, snarling and charging towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang looked at it calmly, his gaze even carrying a bit of sympathy.

The Wild Boar King didn’t understand what Xu Yang’s glance meant, it just wanted to rip Xu Yang apart with its tusks.

Then, the sound of several "pop, pop, pop" gunshots were heard.

Birds in the woods were startled and flew up in a large flock.

Even if the Wild Boar King was tough-skinned, at that moment, it also fell to the ground.

In front of truth, all beings are equal.
