Chapter 49: Strange Movement in the Jungle
The mercenary group of the Poison Dragon Gang finally set off, with a total of fifty or sixty people in the team. From their mouths, it was learned that this seemingly weak Road Old Three was actually a Second-Order Moon Profound Realm expert, and his strength was indeed considered top-notch among the mercenaries. The other guards were also above the Third-Order Star Profound Realm.
They walked into the forest, and everyone was on guard. Although there were strong people in the Moon Profound Realm sitting in town, people remained vigilant. However, Luo Cuifeng didn't have any sense of danger at all, chatting with several sturdy men along the way, laughing and talking loudly.
Ye Xuan was emitting a thread of spiritual energy to detect the presence of spiritual aura, and along the way, they encountered some small magical beasts that were cleaned up by the guards. A team of fifty or sixty people walked slowly through the forest.
Suddenly, Old Third Road waved his hand and let the team stop, shouting loudly: "Everyone is on guard, we will enter the central area of Jiuying Mountains soon. The central area has some large-scale high-intelligence magical beasts, so everyone must follow the team."
After finishing, the team rested for a while and set off again. To everyone's surprise, Luo Cuifeng was unusually quiet, closing her mouth without saying a word. At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from afar in the forest, followed by the faint roar of magical beasts.
Lao San immediately raised his Ghost Head Knife and shouted at the guards: "All units on high alert, form a defensive array!"
Upon hearing Lu Lao San's command, some of the guards quickly held up their shields to block the front of the formation, while others in the middle drew open their crossbows. The entire army was lined up neatly and coordinated tightly, seemingly having gained considerable experience from fighting in this forest.
The cultivators of the team also took out their weapons, and Luo Cuifang surprisingly pulled out a snake-headed dragon stick from her Qiankun bag. A girl using this kind of weapon looked very comical. Ye Xuan took out the dagger given by Dongfang Yan, looking at the exquisite dagger, Ye Xuan thought of Dongfang Yan's pretty face.
Just as everyone had just finished their vigilance, a dozen or so wild boar-like creatures suddenly rushed out of the distant forest and charged towards them. The boars' fur was like silver hair, their bodies were over two meters long, with two sharp fangs exposed outside, gleaming with ferocity. Their four short legs did not hinder their running speed at all.
Some people saw the wild boar and said, "Silver-haired pig monster, how many are there!" Luo Cuifang, standing not far from Ye Xuan, looked at the wild boar monster with a shameful expression and said, "Wow, Wild Boar Ai, I'm hungry, I wonder if roasted wild boar tastes good?" The people around her heard her words and couldn't help but shudder. Although it was just a wild boar monster, its combat strength was not weak at all. This little lady actually thought of eating it.
When the wild boar was a dozen meters away from the team, Lu Lao San's voice shouted: "All of you shoot!" Ye Xuan heard this and couldn't help but want to laugh. Looking around at the serious and vigilant expressions, Ye Xuan knew he had thought too much again.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" As soon as Lao San's voice fell, the silver bows and arrows shot out together. In an instant, some wild boars were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbows. The blood of these wild boars was actually black, and the grass was instantly splattered with black blood. More than a dozen silver-haired pigs quickly perished under the crossbows.
Everyone saw the wild boar group lying in a pool of blood, and they all relaxed with their mouths open. Luo Cuifang, however, said disappointedly: "How disgusting, it seems that the roasted wild boar soup is ruined!" This made everyone involuntarily glance at her. Ye Xuan thought the battle was already over, but Hun Dun Lao suddenly said: "No, danger is behind us!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a wild boar with a silver body suddenly jumped out of the jungle. This wild boar was much larger than the previous one, about two meters high. On its forehead grew a blue rhino horn. Its big mouth opened, revealing two sharp teeth, and its nostrils panted heavily, staring at the entire team with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"Wild Boar King! It's Wild Boar King!" Someone in the team immediately recognized him.
The sudden appearance of the wild boar immediately put the relaxed crowd on high alert. Lu Lao San was taken aback by the boar's emergence, but when he saw the blue rhino horn, his expression changed to one of excitement. He waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "You all stop, I'll take care of this myself."
Lu Lao San walked out with the Ghost Head Knife, and the Blue Rhinoceros Wild Boar King finally lost his patience. With a loud snort, he charged forward, his blue horn sharp as a dagger, heading straight for Lu Lao San. Lu Lao San let out a cold hum, his arm slightly rotating, and the Ghost Head Knife began to swing.
Bang!
The blue rhinoceros horn landed right on the back of the Ghost Head Knife, producing a loud crash.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The wild boar king's impact was quite large, and it actually caused Old Three to retreat three steps at once.
"Wow, this blue rhino is so powerful!" The crowd saw the ferocity of the wild boar king and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Just as people were shouting, the battlefield moved again. The wild boar king saw Lao San being pushed back and charged forward once more.
"Hum!" Lu Lao San sprang up and swung his big knife at the wild boar's back.
"Ding!"
A metallic collision sounded, and everyone thought that the Wild Boar King was definitely doomed to die. However, unexpectedly, Lao San's Ghost Head Knife did not cut into the body of the wild boar, and a wave of numbness suddenly spread throughout his arm.
"Ah, the Wild Boar King's hide is so tough that even Ghost Head Knife can't cut it. I think Captain Lu's knife needs to be updated!" Luo Cuihua's two big eyeballs stared wide, almost popping out.
The guard beside her heard what she said and couldn't help but glare at her.
"Bang!" The wild boar suddenly jumped up towards the top, and Lao San's shock pain made him lose his grip on the handle of the Ghost Head Knife, which was shaken off by the Wild Boar King. The Ghost Head Knife rotated in an arc in mid-air and stuck into the trunk of a large tree.
Lao San dodged and jumped out of the wild boar king's attack range. Just as his feet touched the ground, the wild boar king charged again with incredible speed, leaving onlookers aghast.
"This time the captain of the troop is gone, and the ghost-headed knife is in danger. Are we going to engage in close combat?"
"What do you know? Have you forgotten that he is a Moon Profound Realm cultivator?"
Just as everyone was discussing, the blue rhino horn of the wild boar had torn through the air and was heading towards Lao San. Just two meters away from Lao San, he suddenly grasped his right hand in mid-air, a powerful Xuan force quickly condensed in his hand, instantly transforming into another Ghost Head Knife.
"Ah! Is this the Mysterious Energy of the Moon Profound Realm? It's too overbearing!"
This move also shocked Ye Xuan, the mark of the Moon Profound Realm, the mysterious energy simulated objects, and the body's mysterious energy was released to simulate objects. Usually, cultivators used their mysterious energy to simulate weapons for combat.
