Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Two Large Wild Boars_1

Xiang Rong and Zuo Li exchanged a look, visibly excited as they turned to Old Man Bai.

"Hehe, off you go," Old Man Bai said. "I hope you won’t come back empty-handed!"

"Yes!" Xiang Rong took a shiny, sharpened firewood knife, and Zuo Li grabbed a sickle.

All three of them carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and maybe they would find some food or other useful things on the mountain.

"Girl Tian, I’ve always noticed that you’re lucky. When you went grass cutting with us, we often managed to hunt wild chickens and rabbits. But when we cut grass on our own, or with Liu Dajie, we never have such good luck!" Zuo Li said, summarizing his observation.

He Tiantian smiled broadly, unabashedly praising herself. "Haha, my parents said that I’ve always been lucky, and I also bring good luck to the people around me!"

In the middle of cultivating within the barrier, the Snake King took a break and heard He Tiantian’s shameless bragging.

She was even better at boasting than he was!

He didn’t want to listen to this woman’s nonsense, so he decided to continue his cultivation!

"Hehe, you’re right, you are lucky and bring good luck to those around you," Xiang Rong chuckled. "Let’s see if you can bring us good luck this time!"

"Let’s go, let’s head that way; there are a few large pine trees where we can gather pine nuts," He Tiantian led the way up front, remembering what the Snake King had previously told her.

Along the way, He Tiantian was busy gathering pine nuts wherever there were pine trees. Pine nuts are much tastier than sunflower seeds and are high in oil content, truly nourishing!

After each had filled half a basket with pine nuts, He Tiantian suddenly felt the ground under her feet moving.

Like the experts in the TV shows, she quickly lay down to listen. The sounds grew louder, coming their way. She could tell there were many feet, but couldn’t figure out what they were!

"What’s wrong, Girl Tian?" asked Zuo Li.

Just then, Xiang Rong put his hand to his mouth and also lay down to listen. His eyes lit up, and he said, "It sounds like wild boars!"

He Tiantian was startled and quickly called out to the Snake King, "Gurulu gurulu mi, gurulu gurulu mi..."

"One call is enough; you don’t need to shout so many times!" the Snake King said irritably, nearly driven to madness by the silly woman’s shouting!

"Wild boars, wild boars..." He Tiantian stammered, repeating herself. Her small frame was no match for a wild boar!

"Idiot, aren’t I still here? Getting so scared is very embarrassing, you know?" the Snake King said with disdain.

"So what do I do now?" asked He Tiantian, embarrassed at making the Snake King laugh.

"Two wild boars are heading this way. If you’re afraid, you can climb up a tree. When the time comes, I’ll use my mana to slow down the boars, and those two can take action," the Snake King said nonchalantly, as if the situation was simple. This woman couldn’t figure out such a simple thing and always depended on him. If he were back in the Demon Realm and had a daughter as stupid as her, he would never acknowledge her as his offspring!

Without realizing it, the Snake King had started to think of He Tiantian as part of his own family.

From this, it’s clear that even the coldest person or animal can form some sort of affection when living together sincerely.

He Tiantian didn’t bother to run; while climbing the tree, she said, "I heard it, two wild boars. I’m all skin and bones; I wouldn’t want to get in your way."

When Zuo Li and Xiang Rong heard what He Tiantian said, they couldn’t help but laugh.

But this was better; with He Tiantian around, they felt she was just in the way!

"Alright then, take care of yourself!" Xiang Rong said, holding the sickle and standing back to back with Zuo Li.

Before long, they indeed saw two wild boars coming their way.

"Haha!" Zuo Li laughed, "Girl Tian, you really do have good luck, bringing fortune to us as well!"

Xiang Rong was also very happy inside; two big wild boars — they had quite a catch today!

The two wild boars, having seen the people over here, thought that these were weaker animals, so they swaggered over, aiming to knock down Zuo Li and Xiang Rong.

The wild boars were very big, but their movements were agile, charging toward this side with their heads down.

The two pigs, side by side, came bearing down with a menacing momentum, looking quite frightening.

"Snake King, quick, help us out, hurry!" He Tiantian reminded, genuinely worried that the two old men beneath the tree would be toppled by the wild boars. Otherwise, not only would they miss out on the meat, but with serious injuries to boot, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Zuo Li, Xiang Rong, one to the left and one to the right, dodged, and the two wild boars lunged at nothing, slamming into the very tree He Tiantian had climbed!

The tree, already not very thick and having leaned a bit after He Tiantian’s climb, now shook dizzily from the impact of the two wild boars, causing her to lose her grip.

With a loud "thump," He Tiantian fell from the tree.

Oh, my goodness!

Seeing stars before her eyes, her old back nearly snapped in two!

He Tiantian couldn’t bother with the pain; not far off were the two wild boars! She scrambled to her feet and ran for her life!

The two wild boars were startled by the sudden fall of a heavy object from the tree and retreated several steps; surprisingly, they didn’t give chase right away.

After He Tiantian had sprinted several meters away, the two wild boars finally caught on!

Aiyo, this one is even skinnier and easier to bully than the two just now, chase her!

Hearing the noise, He Tiantian knew that the two big wild boars were coming after her; her little heart was about to leap out of her chest.

"Help, somebody help!" He Tiantian ran and shouted.

Behind her, Zuo Li and Xiang Rong wore bitter smiles; they had been ready to take on the wild boars in a big battle, not expecting He Tiantian to fall from the tree.

"Quick, go save her!" Zuo Li was in a panic, a little girl was no match for two big wild boars!

Xiang Rong chuckled and pointed at the fleeing He Tiantian, "Look at how fast she runs, even the wild boars can’t catch her, let alone us!"

Zuo Li took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case, and in a panic, he shouted, "This way, run this way!"

But He Tiantian was running too fast, and with the two wild boars making excited oinking noises behind her, she couldn’t hear Zuo Li and Xiang Rong’s calls at all.

Snake King, inside the barrier, watched the fleeing He Tiantian and laughed heartily, finding it too amusing. He thought he might let her run a little longer, considering it exercise.

"Gurgle, murmur, meow, Snake King, save me!" He Tiantian blurted out, not caring anymore that she had said it aloud.

"Hehe, no worries, the wild boars can’t catch up to you," the Snake King said coolly, taking great joy in watching the outside scene of He Tiantian’s plight.

"Snake King, you’re not being true to your word!" He Tiantian fumed, realizing the Snake King’s wicked sense of humor — he just wanted to see her run for her life!

Boring!

Absolutely boring!

But soon He Tiantian had no time to be angry anymore as the wild boars seemed to have gone mad, speeding up to catch her. With no choice but to pick up the pace as well, she ran aimlessly through the mountains, running and running...
