Chapter 347 Wild Boar Herd

"I heard strange noises that didn't sound human, but I can't describe what they were."

There was some hesitation and uneasiness in the subordinate's words.

Upon hearing this, Li Youquan took a few steps forward more cautiously and listened attentively.

Sure enough, there was a force approaching rapidly not far away, and the sound became clearer and clearer as it got closer.

There was the roar of trees being broken, mixed with dense and chaotic footsteps, and seemed to be accompanied by bursts of shouting.

All this indicates that the coming crisis will be of great significance.

Seeing this, everyone could no longer care about their fatigue. They stood up and looked ahead nervously.

As the group of unknown creatures approached, the trees on the top of the mountain seemed to become their playthings and were ruthlessly broken.

The constant sound of footsteps and the deafening shouts filled people's hearts with fear and anxiety.

"Bang!...Click!...Click, click, click..."

Every sound was like a death knell, beating in everyone's heart.

And the roaring sound was even more creepy, as if a group of hungry wolves were opening their bloody mouths, ready to devour them.

"Oh no! It's a herd of wild boars. Everyone, quickly take shelter in the trees!"

There was unmistakable anxiety in Li Youquan's voice. He listened carefully, trying to catch the approaching noise from the curtain of night.

After a moment, his expression suddenly changed, like the sky covered by dark clouds, terribly gloomy.

Even in this dim night, although he could not see the outlines of the creatures with his own eyes, the deafening sound and the wild and unruly breath all indicated that it was a group of ferocious wild boars approaching with unstoppable force.

No wonder the sound is so loud, enough to make one's heart tremble.

Wild boars, the wild warriors of nature, are famous for their amazing impact force and tenacious vitality.

Even when facing smaller numbers of them, humans often choose to avoid them, let alone the herds of wild boars at this moment.

Faced with such a force, any attempt to confront it head-on would be like hitting a rock with an egg, and would be a dead end.

Bai Ling and her other companions were obviously aware of this. There was a flash of determination in their eyes, without any hesitation or delay.

At the critical moment of life and death, they responded quickly and ran to the surrounding big trees, trying to use this natural barrier to resist the invasion of wild boars.

"How can this damn herd of wild boars be so large? Judging from the sound, there must be dozens of them!"

Li Youquan cursed inwardly, his face full of solemnity.

He knew very well that facing such a large herd of wild boars, their only way to survive was to hide.

"From the noise, it seems like a whole bunch of wild boars are rushing out! We must find a safe hiding place as soon as possible!"

At this time, Bai Ling was running and shouting anxiously.

Everyone moved even faster. Like nimble monkeys, they quickly climbed up the nearby trees.

Especially the tree chosen by Li Youquan, with its thick trunk and lush branches and leaves, as if it was a safe haven specially prepared for them by nature.

However, not long after they climbed up the tree, a group of wild boars rushed into their sight like a black torrent.

When the leading wild boar saw the fire still burning on the ground, there seemed to be an even crazier light flashing in its eyes.

It rushed towards the fire without hesitation, as if to completely destroy the light and warmth.

Soon, more wild boars followed, the sound of their hooves shook the earth, and soon the originally heart-warming fire was broken into pieces.

The people hiding in the trees witnessed this scene and were filled with fear and shock.

They held their breath, fearing that any movement would attract the wild boar's attention.

At the same time, they were secretly guessing the purpose of these wild boars.

Are they really attracted to the fire?

But such speculation was quickly denied by themselves.

After all, in nature, most wild animals have a deep fear of fire.

However, at this moment, Li Youquan and Bai Ling discovered the truth almost at the same time.

It turned out that the wild boars were not attracted by the fire, but were tempted by the aroma of the food they had just roasted.

I saw a few wild boars gnawing on the food scraps scattered around the fire with relish. Their greedy look made people feel disgusted.

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly.

They realized that this sudden crisis might have a lot to do with their own negligence.

It seemed that they had accidentally splashed a few drops of oil into the fire while busy, and this unexpected action seemed to trigger some primitive call.

The sudden smell of tar and fire spread quickly like an invisible signal, quietly attracting the wild boars wandering around in search of food.

After realizing the root cause of this change, Li Youquan felt no relief at all, but instead felt deeper worry and fear.

He knew that living next to these giants of nature was not a good thing.

Soon the boars were turning over every inch of the ground around the fire with astonishing efficiency, apparently searching for the source that had attracted them.

However, they did not leave after finding nothing, but began to search for food more widely around.

Its huge body and deep breathing, like an invisible shadow, shrouded the hearts of Li Youquan and others.

As time went by, the sparks in the fire gradually lost their former vitality. They flickered with faint light and finally went out one by one, leaving only wisps of blue smoke that slowly dissipated in the night wind.

The surroundings were quickly swallowed up by darkness. Li Youquan and others seemed to be isolated in another world. Everything in front of their eyes was pitch black, and only their hearing became unusually sharp.

At this moment, the sound of wild boars moving around came from below. They were either digging the ground or growling, and each sound was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Li Youquan and others.

Suddenly, a crisp "crack" sound broke the silence of the night. It was the sound of a branch breaking, coming from where Bai Ling was not far away.

It turned out that in order to avoid the threat of wild boars, Bai Ling chose to climb a big tree. Unfortunately, the branch she was standing on suddenly broke because it could not bear her weight.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed another branch in time, thus avoiding the fate of falling.

But this sudden change still frightened her greatly, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

The sound of breaking branches was like an alarm, instantly attracting the attention of the wild boars.

Several sharp wild boars immediately changed direction and approached the big tree where Bai Ling was.

The wild boar's crazy attack caused the tree to sway, and Bai Ling on the tree couldn't help but let out a scream.
