39: Chapter 39 The Wisdom of the White-Haired Wild Boar, and the Predicament of the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

He first nocked an arrow and shot a wild boar at close range, killing it instantly.

At this moment, the other two boars were already howling.

The boar furthest away saw its companion killed and immediately turned tail and ran.

Another one was not so lucky; it had only run a few meters before Incarnation shot it dead with two arrows.

However, with that boar's howl, his position was completely exposed.

Before long, a cloud of dust billowed in the distance, and over a dozen boars came charging over.

From other directions, seven or eight more gradually converged.

Seeing this number and their reaction speed, Incarnation knew there must be a mutated, intelligent one among them.

But looking left and right, he didn't see anything unusual.

Seeing the approaching herd of boars, Incarnation decided he couldn't worry about the mutated one for the time being.

He slung the Compound Bow onto his back and immediately broke into a sprint, circling around the approaching boar herd to reach their north.

As he gradually approached the boar nest, he saw a shelter at least several dozen square meters in size, constructed from hay and tree branches.

As the commotion grew larger, several more boars ran out of the nest one after another.

Among them was one with a tuft of white hair on its head, though its size was similar to the other adult boars.

Upon seeing this boar, Incarnation didn't say a word and fired an arrow first.

However, this boar was surprisingly agile and intelligent; the moment it saw Wang An pick up the Compound Bow, it immediately retreated.

But the arrow didn't miss; it struck the foot of a boar behind it, pinning it down and causing it to squeal in pain.

However, following a sharp howl from inside the boar nest, more and more boars charged toward Incarnation.

Seeing that the White-haired Boar wouldn't be coming out for the time being, he didn't continue to entangle himself with them.

Instead, he ran north until he reached the foot of the mountain, attracting all the boars in that area, then continued east, circling the entire boar nest in a wide loop before running back.

With Incarnation's stamina and speed, this herd of boars certainly couldn't catch up to or outpace him.

Gradually, some old or young boars couldn't keep up with the group and were left behind.

Others from further away also rushed over and joined the herd.

By the time Wang An ran back to the vicinity of the trees where the other team members were, the entire boar herd had grown to over 40.

Chen Yanshan, Liu Tingquan, and Mo Yuemei were dumbfounded in the trees, watching their leader toy with the herd of boars like he was walking dogs, finally gaining some understanding of their leader's strength.

Seeing Incarnation still running with ease and specifically glancing at them, they knew the leader hadn't used his full strength, and instantly, the last bit of worry about his actions dissipated.

After Incarnation ran past them, they felt that most of the boars in this area had been lured away, so they immediately climbed down from the trees and crept toward the left foot of the mountain.

As they were about to reach the ambush point agreed upon with the Chen Martial Arts Hall.

He deliberately glanced back and saw the White-haired Boar leading a few stronger ones, following them from a distance, occasionally letting out a roar to direct the direction of the entire herd.

Seeing this, he was somewhat surprised; this White-haired Boar was a bit like a general on the battlefield, pointing out the landscape.

Something with such intelligence, capable of commanding so many boars, already deserved to die!

Therefore, as he ran, he thought about how to find an opportunity to eliminate it.

On the other side, the members of the Chen Martial Arts Hall Exploration Team standing in the trees felt the vibrations from the boar herd running collectively, and were all somewhat bewildered and shocked.

Their leader, Captain Chen Sen, felt the commotion and knew that the number of boars being lured over was not small.

His face was extremely gloomy, and in his heart, he was already cursing the entire family of the Changnan Interstellar Exploration Team.

He had originally thought that the Changnan Interstellar Exploration Team would at most be able to lure over 20 or so, which would be decent, or maybe 30-something if they were unlucky.

But now, seeing this commotion, he would believe it if someone said there were over 50. Right now, he really had the urge to kill Incarnation and the others.

However, things had reached this point, so he had to think about how to resolve this crisis.

While he was still thinking of a solution, Incarnation had already led the boar herd over.

The members of the Chen Martial Arts Hall were both shocked and puzzled when they saw only this leader alone, wondering what had happened to the other three members of their Exploration Team.

But before they could react, Incarnation had taken a few quick steps and climbed directly up a large tree next to them.

Immediately, he roared at these people who were still in a daze.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!"

This resonant voice pulled the others back to reality. They began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, attacking the boars.

Captain Chen Sen still wanted to stop his team members from attacking, but seeing the arrows that had already been fired, he ultimately didn't say it out loud.

Incarnation, meanwhile, deliberately slowed his own rate of shooting, observing the White-haired Boar in the distance from different angles as it continued to direct the boar herd.

He saw this boar let out a few complex low roars, as if it were communicating something.

Two other boars seemed to have heard something; they immediately charged into the boar herd in front, repeating the same roars.

These boars that had chased them to the foot of the tree were originally bewildered, not knowing how their target had run up the tree.

Immediately, as if receiving an order, they all rushed toward the roots of these five or six large trees, using their tusks to dig desperately at the ground, biting through and excavating the roots of those large trees.

This action immediately caused the members of the Chen Martial Arts Hall, who were still shooting arrows unhurriedly, to change their expressions, their faces turning grim.

Their exploration leader, Captain Chen Sen, felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene; he had clearly underestimated the capabilities of this herd of boars.

He immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone, attack immediately! Prioritize attacking those boars that are digging!"

Hearing the order, the others seemed to have found their backbone and immediately began to shoot arrows frantically at the boars digging at the roots under the trees.

However, because their Compound Bows had a draw weight of around 50 pounds, even though they were equipped with special arrowheads for hunting large creatures.

To kill an adult boar, unless they attacked the eyes or brain, it would take at least three or four arrows hitting the body to make these boars lose their ability to move.

A minute or two later, seven or eight boars had fallen and were dragged out from under the trees by other boars, which was still not enough compared to these thirty or forty boars.

Incarnation looked at the several main roots that had been dug up under the trees, and as these large trees began to tilt slightly, he knew they wouldn't last much longer.
