Chapter 369 - 249 Ancient Temple and... Abnormality?
The air suddenly fell silent.
As though even breathing had become cautious.
Because what had just occurred was somewhat bewildering.
Living to this age, no one had ever witnessed such a scene.
Those present looked at each other, searching for confirmation in one another’s faces—as if a long time had passed, they still found the scene before them incredible and unbelievable.
The vast majority here had never seen a wild boar with their own eyes, let alone witnessed three wild boars howling and fleeing in disarray.
But fundamentally, almost everyone had heard something about wild boars and knew how terrifying they could be in the wild.
For example, in the Northeast Region, there is a saying, "First the wild boar, second the bear, third the tiger," which is not a ranking based on combat ability but on the level of threat to humans.
Wild boars are one of the wild animals most likely to be encountered and also one with the strongest aggression; without weapons in hand, it’s nearly impossible to contend with a wild boar by bare hands.
The skin of a wild boar is very rough, covered with stiff short hair, which can keep moisture out and provides good protection for the wild boar. Wild boars also often roll in the mud, cover their bodies in it, and rub their sides against tree stumps, rocks, and hard river beds. Over time, their fur will turn into a hard protective layer, making it very tough and thick.
This thick layer of defense meant that if the three wild boars charged into this unarmed crowd, most people would be severely injured before they could possibly cooperate to kill the three wild boars.
