Chapter 162: Chapter 159: Fierce Battle (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions, Thank You)
The pale sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting pale white spots on the ink-black ground.
The desolate roadside forest, each tree stood tall, with dewy marks on the bark. The wind whistling by their ears was like resentful spirits gnawing at decaying skin.
The mournful cawing of the black crow on the dead tree seemed to recount all the events that once transpired here.
"Young Master Ye, did we go the wrong way? It was still clear skies outside, but here it’s so gloomy and dark."
Zeng Shan spoke cautiously, afraid of encountering something ominous.
"I don’t know. I feel a strange magnetic field here. Look at these trees, the leaves are so rotten but haven’t fallen off."
Ye Tian pointed at a tree and said gravely to Zeng Shan.
Everything here felt mysterious. What exactly was that Netherworld Pearl? Ye Tian had just called out to Little White in his Sea of Consciousness but did not see it within the Creation and Transformation Stele.
"Young Master, look, what is that???’
At this moment, Zhao Hui exclaimed, diverting everyone’s attention. frёeωebɳovel.com
A massive mass of black gas swirled into a huge black orb, roiling and bubbling, occasionally emitting a wisp of yellow smoke.
As soon as this black gas appeared, the temperature around them dropped instantly. The depths of Coffin Mountain were already chilly, but now it felt like winter, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily, their eyes filled with fear.
"Don’t panic, damn it! Even though we have fewer than a hundred people here, we’re not afraid of a mere black gas."
Zhao Lei tried to appear calm, but his face had already changed color from astonishment.
The Black Rose gang seemed less tense, but their expressions were still very serious, staring intently at the black gas, with their hands subconsciously moving towards their waists, ready to draw their weapons any moment.
"Bang~~~~"
"Roar!!!"
The black gas suddenly exploded, revealing a monstrous mutated wild boar with blood-red eyes, tusks over a meter long, and a body as hard as black iron. Its tail, like a steel whip, struck the ground, creating small pits.
"Isn’t that the wild boar we encountered that night? Weren’t they dead?"
"How is there another one? It’s much bigger than before!"
Old Shui pointed at the black wild boar, shouting in panic.
The Black Rose gang could no longer remain calm. This wild boar was much stronger than the previous ones, making them feel insignificant. Even the fearless gang leader, a deep-rooted inner fear overwhelmed most of her rationality.
For Zhao Lei and the others, who had never encountered such a terrifying wild boar, their legs trembled, unable to move, as if petrified.
But it’s not that they didn’t want to run; they had long wanted to flee. Unfortunately, their legs refused to move. Damn it!!!
"Roar!!!"
Despite its massive size, the wild boar was incredibly agile. Like an arrow shot from a fully drawn bow, it darted towards Zhao Lei and his companions.
With lightning speed, it thrust its tusks upward, impaling one of Zhao Lei’s companions on a tree. His breath had long since ceased, terror frozen in his eyes.
"Young Master, run quickly, help us! Otherwise, we’re all going to die!!"
Zhao Hui grabbed Zhao Lei and fled from the wild boar. In just a moment, only three people remained from the Zhao Family.
The scarlet blood streak was particularly eye-catching. The wild boar’s tusks were like a pair of incredibly sharp swords, ready to pierce the human heart.
"Everyone, grab your weapons and follow me!!!"
The Black Rose gang’s leader, embodying the demeanor of a leader, wielded a small blade in one hand and a pistol in the other, her figure flashing, dodging from side to side.
The other bodyguards snapped out of their stupor, shakily drawing their guns, while Zeng Shan and others pulled out some shovels, gritting their teeth as they followed behind the Black Rose.
The Black Rose gang members were well-trained elites. Despite their fear, they knew that in this situation, it was either fight or die.
Zhao Lei and the others were already scared out of their wits, losing so many people before they even arrived. It was like trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait.
The sound of fierce gunfire echoed in the gloomy depths of Coffin Mountain. Bang, bang, bang, sparks flew, illuminating the hidden parts of the area, revealing numerous skeletons. The sight was so terrifying that Zhao Hui fainted on the spot.
"Big sister, it’s no use. We can’t penetrate it. It’s too tough, thicker than steel plates."
All the bodyguards were panting heavily, and they were running out of bullets.
On the other side, the Black Rose leader, fighting the wild boar in close combat with a small blade, had a fresh red cut on her right hand. She gritted her teeth and continued the battle, enduring the pain.
She fired her last bullet, angrily threw the gun away, and charged at the boar, bravely and fearlessly with the blade in her hand.
However, this wild boar had indeed mutated, possessing near-demonic intelligence. Its huge form charged at the bodyguards of the Black Rose, severing several of them in half, drawing the excited black crows down to feast.
"Ah!!!!"
The Black Rose leader let out a thunderous roar, conveying her deep sorrow at that moment.
The wild boar continued to attack Zhao Lei and the bodyguards, ignoring Zeng Shan’s group holding shovels. It could sense that charging at them would mean death.
"Zhao Hui, look at others, then look at yourself!!!"
Zhao Lei pointed at Ye Tian’s group, yelling at Zhao Hui.
Indeed, Zeng Shan and the others surrounded Ye Tian, sandwiching him in the middle, holding their shovels vigilantly towards the wild boar. Ye Tian felt helpless. He couldn’t just kick away his protectors.
Actually, Zeng Shan knew that Ye Tian was very strong, but in such circumstances, everything was so terrifying that they forgot.
At this moment, Ye Tian’s eyes were calm, without a trace of fear, as if the giant black wild boar was just a cute piglet named Peppa.
"Young Master Ye, why don’t we retreat? That wild boar is too ferocious. Although it hasn’t attacked us yet, when it turns on us, we’re doomed."
"Yeah, yeah, I just saw those bullets only sparked when they hit its skin, with no wounds."
"Young Master Ye, how about we come back later with better equipment!!!"
Zeng Shan and the others spoke one by one, all urging to retreat.
"Well, there’s no need to retreat because of a fat pig. I think you should back off a bit first. I’m feeling cramped."
Ye Tian said with a faint smile, trying to lighten the atmosphere with some humor.
"Haha!!!"
The Black Rose leader let out a bitter laugh, falling to the ground. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her strength waning. Looking at her limp right hand, she gripped the dull small blade tightly with her left hand; it was all she had left.
The Black Rose leader glanced at Zhao Lei and his group, wishing they could find a hole to hide in. Zeng Shan and others trembled, holding their shovels, while Ye Tian remained helpless.
"Young Master Ye, Black Rose implores you to help, and I don’t want those things anymore!!"
She half-knelt on the ground, shouting to Ye Tian.
Seeing this, Ye Tian had no choice but to push aside Zeng Shan and the others. Under their terrified gazes, he squatted down and picked up a withered yellow twig.
Slowly, slowly, he walked towards the wild boar.
