Chapter 426: Chapter 428: The Wild Boar is Very Kind

Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Eight

"Luo Mountain, I saw online that so many people say that place is super fun, it’s pristine, and you can see lots of wild animals there. If you’re lucky, you might even see the legendary wild boar."

Zeng Xiaoxiao finally revealed the destination of their outing, and then, as if she remembered something, her eyes lit up with excitement and longing, and she said with a face full of excitement.

Wild boar...

This girl, how is her brain wired...

That animal is dangerous, okay...

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s extremely excited tone and the glow in her eyes, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache as he rubbed his head.

She had come all this way, to such a distant place for an outing, all for the sake of seeing those dangerous species...

Damn it... are kids these days all not right in the head? Finding a scenic spot, talking about love, enjoying the beauty of nature, isn’t that good enough? Why go to such a desolate and dangerous place...

And why on earth would she post about it online...

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Yi prepared to speak out to stop Zeng Xiaoxiao, to persuade her to turn back, or to simply pick a hill with a nice view for a camping trip before heading straight back...

From the longing scenery Zeng Xiaoxiao described, he didn’t think there was anything fun at all. On the contrary, he was convinced that it was a dangerous jungle...

A wild boar may sound harmless with the word ’pig’ in it...

But only those who have truly seen it would know how terrifying it is... It’s not the same concept as those fat, clumsy pigs that can’t even stand up in the pigpens meant for slaughter, or the cute pet pigs that kids like nowadays...

Its speed, its powerful impact, even a tiger would be wary of it...

He had encountered one once, deep in the forests of the Northeast with the old man, searching for a rare herb. Back then, he had just entered the Bone Tempering Period and he nearly lost his life to a wild boar. Fortunately, the old man noticed in time, rushed over, and with a slap, killed the dark wild boar, saving his life.

Even now, thinking back on that experience, he was still amazed at the wild boar’s frightening speed and impact...

He really didn’t want Zeng Xiaoxiao to risk such danger...

But when he saw the immense longing and excitement on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face, the words Xiao Yi was about to say involuntarily halted.

Forget it, since she’s rarely out like this and she’s really interested in this kind of pure natural forest ecology, let her experience it for herself. Besides, those kinds of wild boars aren’t exactly a species with a high reproduction rate. In the vast and fearsome forests of the Northeast, it’s rare to see even one; maybe they won’t be so unlucky as to actually encounter one...

Besides, even if they did encounter one, with him there, there probably wouldn’t be an issue. After all, he was no longer the novice he once was; he had now entered the Condensation period. Although he wasn’t as monstrous as the old man, handling a wild boar shouldn’t be a problem.

With these thoughts, Xiao Yi’s heart eased slightly, and he looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao again, changing his persuasive words into a question, "Little girl, did you bring a GPS?"

He himself was not very familiar with G Province, G City, let alone this godforsaken place that, in the far distance, had only a few dilapidated village houses scattered around. He had never heard of Luo Mountain, nor did he know where it was.

"I... forgot."

At Xiao Yi’s words, Zeng Xiaoxiao suddenly snapped back to reality, the excitement and longing on her face disappeared, replaced by an expression of dismay. She gave Xiao Yi, who was looking at her, a weak glance, her eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.

As expected...

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxiao’s answer, Xiao Yi immediately revealed a look of helplessness.

"Right, I brought my laptop, I can search online!"

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, an excited look appeared on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face. She said this, then with a snap, unbuckled her seatbelt, stood up from her seat, turned around, and started to reach for her bag in the space behind the car.

Thank goodness!

You, girl, brought a laptop.

Xiao Yi was also taken aback, then a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes closely followed Zeng Xiaoxiao, who had started to fiddle with her computer, waiting for her answer.

As long as there was a computer, he believed she definitely had a way to locate the place, which was even more effective than a GPS.

He was very aware of Zeng Xiaoxiao’s prowess with computers; being able to help him find the data he wanted from the vast database of the mobile network in a short time was proof enough of her skills.

"Ah?"

However, just as Xiao Yi was waiting for the answer, Zeng Xiaoxiao let out a startled exclamation, her face showing a trace of annoyance.

"What’s wrong?"

Xiao Yi’s heart suddenly gave rise to a bad premonition as he asked subconsciously.

"This godforsaken place actually has no signal!"

Zeng Xiaoxiao raised her head with a mournful look and moved the computer aside in annoyance.

"..."

Having no signal, in this day and age, to think there are still places without a signal... Xiao Yi’s face showed a speechless expression for a moment, but as he looked ahead and saw the primitive road paved with yellow rocks and sand, the bumpy surface kicking up clouds of dust with every passing tractor, and the mountains stretching into the distance with not a soul in sight, he felt somewhat reassured.

There’s a saying that even a clever wife cannot cook without rice. For a network expert, a network signal is undoubtedly the rice. Without a signal, even if Zeng Xiaoxiao was the world’s top network expert, with her mind full of techniques, it was of no use, as her skills weren’t advanced enough to transmit signals through the air.

"Damn it, how can there be no signal? It’s infuriating."

Zeng Xiaoxiao continued to complain with a look of depression.

Xiao Yi didn’t say anything, turned his head, and took out his rarely used phone, known only to the old man and a few others, and never before shown to anyone else, and started to operate it gently.

"Eh? Brother Xiao, there’s no signal; what are you doing with your phone?"

After venting, Zeng Xiaoxiao finally noticed Xiao Yi’s actions, her face showing a surprised look, then she suddenly noticed something and exclaimed, "Brother Xiao, what is that? That’s not your phone."

The N brand phone that Xiao Yi had purchased was one that she had also seen and even toyed with before. The phone in his hand was completely different. This phone looked much uglier, like an old phone that had been used for many years, its paint peeling off.

"It’s an old phone I used to use, and I suddenly remembered that I might have downloaded a map on it. I’m checking to see if it’s any use."

Xiao Yi said calmly, then directly added, "Don’t make noise, let me check."

"Oh, really? That would be great!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, a look of joy appeared on Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face, but then she immediately asked doubtfully, "Can an old map like that find this place?"

"I’ll give it a try, hehe."

Xiao Yi spoke faintly and continued to focus intently on operating the phone.

"Found it, let’s go."

Zeng Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else, but at that moment, Xiao Yi had already tossed the old phone back into his pocket and raised his head to speak.

"Really?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi with disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Really, we need to go left, and we’ll be there soon."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, started the car, and began to drive toward the left turn ahead. Watching Xiao Yi confidently steering to the left, Zeng Xiaoxiao’s face also showed a hint of excitement, but then she started to think about that old phone and said to Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, let me have a look at that..."

"Young girl, have you ever seen a wild boar before?"

Before she could finish asking to see the phone, she heard Xiao Yi ask with a smile.

"Nope, Brother Xiao, have you?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s question, Zeng Xiaoxiao’s interest instantly shifted from the old phone, and she excitedly responded, "Actually, I’ve seen them in a zoo before, but I read online that those aren’t really wild boars. Only the boars living in the mountains are the real wild boars. They say that mountain pigs are even fiercer than tigers. I’m so looking forward to seeing what a pig that’s fiercer than a tiger looks like!"

"I... haven’t seen one either."

Xiao Yi paused for a moment, then with a puzzled tone, he asked the excited Zeng Xiaoxiao, "So, you heard that there were mountain pigs here, and you wanted to come and see?"

"Yeah."

Zeng Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation.

"Aren’t you afraid of wild boars?"

Xiao Yi asked curiously.

"Afraid? Afraid of what?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi puzzledly, then as if she remembered something, she reassured Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, are you talking about wild boars? You don’t have to be scared. I read online that as long as we stay out of their way and don’t provoke them, they won’t attack you! Wild boars are actually very kind!"
