Li Tianyan said, “It’s an ordinary beast that has been eroded by evil energy and mutated.”

“It must be illusion, hurry up,” Yan Wu cursed, then rushed forward with a pair of axes and chopped towards the back of the wild boar.

Yan Wu, who could chop off the back of a beast with an ax in the past, was shocked by the thick skin of the wild boar this time, and his hands were numb. He could barely hold the axe.

The other warriors reacted quickly after a brief daze and took out their weapons one after another. Some used steel claws and ropes to trap the beast, and some used spears to shoot at its vitals. Han Wei and Hu Xin were also looking for the beast’s weak points to attack.

Li Tianyan saw that these warriors had a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation. They should have discussed a hunting plan before coming here, so he did not rush to take action. Instead, he and Cheng Qi stood not far away to observe whether there were other beasts around.

The strength of this wild boar was so great that it took three warriors to pull the ropes around its legs and neck, and its outer skin was so thick and hard that all the arrows that hit the wild boar’s back were bounced away. In the past, a second-level warrior could deal with this animal, but it took this group of people a long time to finally defeat it.

Seeing this behemoth fall, the warriors were not very excited. It was just a wild boar in the mountains that cost them so much strength. They didn’t know what would happen if they continued walking.

Everyone gasped and stared at the lifeless beast on the ground, but no one stepped forward, because the flesh of this big animal was as black as those herbs, and no one dared to use it to satisfy their hunger.

Worried that other beasts would be attracted by the smell of blood, Han Wei could only lead the team to leave quickly, “We have to walk faster. We must reach a nearby resting point before dark.”

In the past, warriors who went into the mountains to hunt set up several places to rest in the mountains. Seeing that the sunlight above their heads was gradually weakening, and the sight that was originally blocked by the thick fog became increasingly unclear, Han Wei did not dare to let the team stay in the wild overnight.

Sure enough, not long after they left, a wolf pack appeared next to the wild boar carcass. The leader of the wolf pack was as big as the wild boar on the ground. He was obviously a mutated beast.

.

The team finally arrived at the resting point before sunset. Li Tianyan found that it was a cave that had been artificially modified. There was a thick wooden door at the entrance of the cave. Two lush trees on the mountain wall just covered the wooden door.

At this time, all the warriors saw the young couple that had followed them were unscathed, and their eyes couldn’t help but change when they looked at them. Although the two of them had not participated in the battle just now, no one dared to look down on them anymore. Just because the young couple were so weird, walking in such a dangerous place for a day was as easy as strolling through their own back garden.

This cave was relatively empty, and it could accommodate more than 20 people without feeling crowded. However, staying in a confined space with so many warriors was not that comfortable for Li Tianyan, especially since these warriors had just fought with wild boars. After a fight, the entire cave was filled with the smell of wild boars, as well as the pungent smell of sweat and blood.

After spending so long with Li Tianyan, Cheng Qi naturally discovered that his sense of smell was different from ordinary people. At this time, seeing Li Tianyan’s face looking a little pale, he immediately turned sideways and sat closer to him.

Li Tianyan also buried his head on his shoulder and took a few deep breaths. The strange smell in the cave was diluted a lot by Cheng Qi’s smell, and Li Tianyan’s complexion finally improved a little.

“Young master, let’s eat something.” Upon seeing this, Cheng Qi took out an oil paper bag and opened it, revealing the dough cake with dried meat inside, and shared it with Li Tianyan.

Li Tianyan, who was hugging Cheng Qi and not letting go, was too lazy to move. He only turned his head slightly, took a bite, and leaned back lazily.

The other warriors in the cave couldn’t help but swallow quietly when they saw the shuanger took out meat buns with dried meat and then looking down at the dry steamed buns in their hands.

Yan Wu walked up to the only female warrior in the team and said with a flattering smile, “Sister, do you have anything delicious on you?”

Hu Xin found that other warriors’ eyes were also falling on her, she said angrily, “If I had it, would I need to eat dry food with you?”

After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and continued to eat the dry steamed buns to satisfy their hunger. Who knew that the wild beasts in the mountains would become like this? Originally, they planned to rely on hunting, using mountains product, they would never go hungry, but now they could only eat the dry food they had.

The night in the mountains was indeed not peaceful. As soon as the night fell, the sounds of various beasts could be heard outside. Li Tianyan listened carefully for a while and found that the roar of the beast seemed to be mixed with dull bell-ringing sounds.

It wasn’t obvious and he didn’t notice it at first, but after he noticed it, the sound gradually became clearer. The muffled sounds were very regular, like knocking on people’s hearts, which made Li Tianyan feel something bad inexplicably, like an ominous feeling.
