Unexpected Turn of Events

"With the strength and physique boost from the Tusk Mountain Boar, plus my own Martial Way cultivation, my current strength and physical toughness should be no weaker than Wang Sanyang. As for speed, with the enhancement of the White Ape Leg Technique's minor success, I'm not weak at all. Perhaps compared to Wang Sanyang, who isn't adept at speed, I might even have an advantage in this aspect."

Lin Sheng had a certain measure of his own strength in his heart, believing he should have the qualification to spar with early-stage Muscle Forging martial artists.

Even after his Raging Bull Fist and White Ape Leg Technique improved further, he should be able to defeat typical early-stage Muscle Forging practitioners.

The combat power of an early-stage Muscle Forging martial artist would be enough for self-preservation in Yangping Mountain.

The improvement in his strength put him in a great mood, but soon his gaze fell upon Ma Qiang and Liu Jie in the crowd ahead.

Since they wanted to kill him, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

If their sneak attack failed this time, there would definitely be a next time, so he had to find a way to resolve this matter.

He struggled to cut pieces of lean meat from the Tusk Mountain Boar's hind leg with his dagger, contemplating how to deal with the two men once they returned to Yangping Town.

"They're down!!"

At this moment, several people surrounding the Tusk Mountain Boar's head let out a cry.

Wang Sanyang's arm muscles bulged, his face flushed red, and with a low grunt, he finally pulled out one tusk with a tearing sound.

The other tusk was successfully pulled out by Zhang Ding and several other Body Tempering martial artists working together.

Soon, everyone wrapped the two tusks and cut some more lean meat from the Tusk Mountain Boar's corpse. They then planned to leave. After all, although the Tusk Mountain Boar was the overlord of this area, such a strong smell of blood might attract other powerful fierce beasts.

Therefore, they had no intention of delaying any further.

"Quickly pack up, Brother Lin. I didn't expect our mission to go so smoothly this time. We were really lucky."

Zhang Ding wrapped a Tusk Mountain Boar ear in a coarse cloth and said to Lin Sheng with a smile, appearing to be in high spirits.

"Yes, it was indeed very smooth."

Lin Sheng also smiled and nodded. He was also holding a piece of boar meat wrapped in coarse cloth, weighing about ten catties.

Because the mission was completed smoothly, Wang Sanyang had already announced that each person could keep half of the Tusk Mountain Boar meat they brought back.

It was known that the flesh of high-level fierce beasts like the Tusk Mountain Boar, while far from comparable to Spirit Beasts, was not like ordinary beast meat such as rock sheep meat.

It might even have the effect of strengthening the physique, and its price was several times higher than ordinary beast meat.

It could even be used to refine some pills.

Therefore, everyone took as much as they could.

It was just that they were quite far from the foot of the mountain; otherwise, they might have taken the entire Tusk Mountain Boar back.

"What a shame, such a large Tusk Mountain Boar wasted like this."

Looking back at the boar carcass with more than half of its flesh remaining, Zhang Ding said with a look of regret. He then patted Lin Sheng's shoulder as if he had just remembered something.

"Brother Lin, I saw you almost fall from the tree just now. You really scared me. Fortunately, nothing happened."

In response, Lin Sheng merely blamed it on slipping and did not mention the attack he had encountered.

Firstly, he had no concrete evidence to prove that Ma Qiang and Liu Jie were the ones who attacked him, and secondly, even if he had evidence, it might not truly resolve anything.

He knew very well that rules were always meant to restrain ordinary people. His report might cause some trouble for them, but that was not the outcome he desired.

He trusted himself more than placing his hope in the Beast Hunter Hall.

Soon, under Wang Sanyang's urging, the hunters finished packing up. Just as the group was about to leave.

Roar!

Two low growls suddenly sounded from not far away.

The roars sounded somewhat familiar.

"This is... the sound of a Tusk Mountain Boar!!"

The group quickly realized what was happening, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Not good, there are still Tusk Mountain Boars! Quick, hide!!!"

Wang Sanyang was the first to react. He immediately shouted, pulling the somewhat dazed hunters back to reality. They all dropped the lean meat in their hands and scrambled up the surrounding ancient trees like madmen.

However, before they could conceal themselves, two massive figures appeared in their sight.

Their bodies were covered in black fur, and the most striking feature was the pair of white tusks growing beneath their noses.

"There are actually two more Tusk Mountain Boars!"

Seeing the two massive figures, Lin Sheng's expression also changed.

Even worse, these two tusks were positioned in front and behind them respectively, charging madly towards the hunters. Their red eyes were fixed on them, filled with bloodlust.

Although the size of these two Tusk Mountain Boars was slightly smaller than the one lying on the ground, they were still not something these people could resist. Such fierce beasts could be described as land tanks.

Many hunters were instantly scared stiff on the spot; they were far from having the strength to confront Tusk Mountain Boars head-on.

But now, it was too late to hide. Tusk Mountain Boars were clumsy but not so foolish as to watch them hide. Moreover, even if they had time to hide among the tree trunks this time, it would undoubtedly be a dead end.

The two Tusk Mountain Boars, when enraged, would definitely smash through the surrounding trees. Falling from a height of over ten meters would be a fatal injury even before the Tusk Mountain Boars could act.

"Can't climb trees..."

Lin Sheng reacted quickly, abandoning the idea of climbing a tree and charging towards another direction.

The other hunters understood this principle as well, and they fled towards both sides.

Only a few newcomers foolishly climbed up the tree trunks.

However, in just over ten breaths, the Tusk Mountain Boars had charged close.

Following several loud bangs, screams of agony then rang out; clearly, those few newcomer hunters had already met their end in the boars' jaws.

And those Tusk Mountain Boars had no intention of letting them off easily, instead splitting into two groups and charging rapidly towards the fleeing crowd.

Lin Sheng's reaction was quick, and with the boost from the White Ape Leg Technique, his speed was considerably faster than the other hunters, putting him far ahead of everyone.

"Although the Tusk Mountain Boars aren't slow, they lack agility, so they don't pose much of a threat to me."

Lin Sheng concealed his figure within a patch of bushes, watching the hunters scattering in all directions and the Tusk Mountain Boars behind them. After the initial panic, his mood calmed down.

While he wasn't a match for the Tusk Mountain Boars, they definitely wouldn't be able to catch him in a short time. Moreover, their massive size made it inconvenient for them to move in such dense woods, and with his skills, shaking off these large creatures wouldn't be difficult.

Especially with other hunters around, the Tusk Mountain Boars absolutely wouldn't focus solely on chasing him.

Watching the hunters scatter like startled birds, Lin Sheng thought of something and his heart stirred.

His eyes quickly scanned the hunters, but he couldn't find his target.
