Settlement (3)
Fanxin led Ren Fang and the others through the forest, specifically looking for strong wild animals to hunt. There was no other way; there were just too many people, and if he tried to hunt small animals, he didn't know how long it would take.
He could easily satisfy his staff by getting a few large wild animals. Naturally, he wouldn't go looking for trouble for himself.
"Hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to handle once it gets dark," Fanxin urged.
"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded and said, "How about this, we'll split up to hunt. Fanxin, you'll be in a group with Langyue, and I'll be in Ren Fang's group. Each of us will bring back one large wild beast, that should be enough. What do you think?"
"Okay, no problem. You all need to be careful, understand?" Fanxin Xin nodded slightly and said.
"Okay, we'll be going now. If you need anything, just contact us via Den Den Mushi." The Little Black Cat nodded and said.
Fanxin gave a no-questions-asked gesture, then led the Little Wolf Langyue to the left. Ren Fang, on the other hand, led the Little Black Cat to the right.
The two groups set off to search for robust wild animals.
Soon after, both groups found large wild animals. Fanxin's group found a giant deer, while Ren Fang's group found a large wild boar.
"Begin the hunt." Ren Fang and Fanxin didn't hesitate and started their operation.
Fanxin acted faster because Langyue was helping. It created a giant air wolf and trapped the deer inside. Then, it quickly sucked the air out of the wolf, suffocating the deer to death inside.
After the deer suffocated, Langyue did not remove the giant wolf. Instead, she had the wolf wrap around the deer and follow them forward, so that they wouldn't have to exert themselves to move the deer.
Afterwards, they went to look for Ren Fang and the others. In a mountain gully, Ren Fang Fanxin discovered their whereabouts.
Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat are fighting a large wild boar. However, the boar's hide is very thick, and bullets hitting it only cause minor damage. This is why they haven't been able to defeat the boar after fighting for so long.
"Xiaojin, can you stay with Ren Fang from now on?" Fanxin looked at him for a while, pondered for a moment, and then said to the golden puppy standing on her shoulder.
The reason he had Xiaojin follow Ren Fang was because Ren Fang's strength was still too weak to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent. If Ren Fang's fists were hard enough and her strength was great enough, she could have rushed up and given the wild boar a good beating. He believed that the wild boar would have been subdued by her long ago.
Xiaojin happens to have this function; it doesn't have any strength of its own, but it can empower others. With Xiao Jin assisting Ren Fang, Ren Fang can become stronger.
"That's no problem, but what about you?" Xiaojin glanced at Fanxin and asked.
"Hehe, I'm strong enough myself, and I also have ways to protect myself, so don't worry. Even if I can't beat my opponent, I can escape quickly. However, if Ren Fang isn't strong enough, her life might be in danger." Fanxin looked at Xiaojin and said solemnly, "Ren Fang is my friend, and I don't want anything to happen to her, understand?"
He was superior to Ren Fang in terms of reaction time, strength, and attack. Therefore, he was able to engage in close combat with his opponent. Ren Fang, being a girl, was naturally weaker and could not keep up with a boy even with rigorous training. This is why Grandpa Nick trained her to use a gun.
If Ren Fang uses a gun, she won't need to engage in close combat with her opponent, which would protect her life.
"Okay, then." Xiaojin nodded, and without hesitation, it jumped off Fanxin's shoulder and headed straight for Ren Fang. Once it reached Ren Fang's Ren Fang, it immediately jumped onto her shoulder.
"Xiaojin, what brings you here?" Ren Fang felt something moving on her shoulder, looked down, and was immediately stunned as she asked.
"Hehe, Fanxin said he wants me to follow you from now on; he's worried about your safety. I can enhance your physical strength and power, so you can engage in close combat. I hope we can work together happily in the future," Xiaojin said with a smile.
"Oh, what about him?" Ren Fang asked immediately.
"He said he could handle everything," Xiaojin said. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I checked inside Fanxin's body, and his strength is indeed much greater than yours. So, stop dawdling. You need to become stronger to help him. If you're not strong enough, you won't only be unable to help him, but you'll also be a hindrance. Don't you agree?"
"Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much then." Ren Fang nodded without further hesitation.
She glanced at Fanxin, who was standing not far behind her, grinned, then turned around and said, "Enter my body, I'll deal with this damned boar."
Ren Fang was getting angry; she had wasted a lot of bullets. However, she still hadn't managed to kill the wild boar, which frustrated her. Therefore, she decided to engage the beast in close combat and use her superior strength to kill it.
"Ah, I understand." Xiaojin nodded, and then entered Ren Fang's body without hesitation.
A moment later, Xiaojin's body was spread all over Ren Fang's body. Ren Fang felt that her body was hard and full of strength.
"Damn wild boar, you can die now." Ren Fang put away her dual pistols and then charged fiercely at the wild boar.
When the wild boar saw Ren Fang charging towards it, it didn't hesitate to launch a counterattack, charging straight at Ren Fang, intending to knock her away.
Ren Fang grinned, making no attempt to dodge. When she was only two meters away from the wild boar, she immediately shifted two steps to the side. Then, she slapped the ground and shouted, "Earth Wall, come out!"
A moment later, a solid Earth Wall appeared in front of the wild boar. Seeing the obstacle ahead, the boar tried to avoid it, but because it had charged too fast and its momentum was too great, it couldn't stop and ended up crashing into the Earth Wall.
The Earth Wall was extremely hard, comparable to steel, and the wild boar was already somewhat disoriented after being hit by it.
However, Ren Fang gave the wild boar no chance to rest. She swung her right fist and smashed it directly into the boar's head. Her fist was golden, a result of Xiaojin's blessing.
She punched the wild boar in the head, and it immediately collapsed. The top of its head caved in, revealing a hole the size of a fist.
