Chapter 246. Encounter
"Master, it’s not that we’re not asking, but rather, you should hide first, and we’ll go rescue Xu An and the others. This way, we have no worries and can fully engage these wild boars. Rest assured, Master, we’ll return without fail, and tonight, there’ll be roast wild boar to eat."
He had originally planned to do this, but the Master’s words were so heartwarming that they justified their all-out efforts to protect him.
"Master, don’t hesitate any longer. Time is life, quickly climb the tree." Seeing the Master still unwilling to leave, Old Zhou’s tone became more severe.
Luo Song ultimately decided to heed Old Zhou’s advice, and chose a sturdy tree with Luo Lai to climb up.
Old Zhou’s reasoning was correct; if he remained, these people indeed would be hesitant and unable to fully exert themselves.
Below the slope, the ferocious wild boars frantically rammed against the trees. Luo Song couldn’t help but worry for the guards hiding in the trees, his heart tense.
Seeing that the Master was well-hidden, Old Zhou, undeterred, swiftly led his men back, charging towards the five enraged wild boars.
Old Zhou moved fast, aiming to take advantage of the wild boars’ distraction and solve the problem unexpectedly.
The glinting machete swung towards the frenzied wild boars almost instantly, hoping to severely injure one or two, yet in the moment the blade struck, they retreated quickly.
Except for the stronger Old Zhou, who stabbed a boar’s abdomen with one chop, the others didn’t inflict any substantial harm, merely slashing the outer skin without drawing blood.
