Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 37 — Pig Forest
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Bing then went to another location point, not far from the previously killed wild boar demon turned out to be a group of wild boar demons.
The numbers are around 40s, on average they are thirty years old stealth while the weakest are the dozen years old stealth.
Zhou Bing gulped, with the number of wild boar groups it was not impossible for them to destroy the village before. Zhou Yuan was also shocked when he saw the group of boars.
"How can a demon group be this much?" Inner Zhou Yuan in heart.
Zhou Yuan was very astonished, a hundred years ago the number of demons in the Moon Empire was very few even rare to meet him but it seemed like their number had soared rapidly after a hundred years had passed.
Seeing the group of boars alone had been this much let alone other demons, Zhou Yuan was worried that there was a possibility that the forest area of the Moon Empire was starting to be filled with demons.
"Grandfather, it looks like the forest near this village is controlled by a group of wild boar stealth, they must have considered this forest their territory." Zhou Yuan said.
From the previous Village Chief's explanation, the one who always attacked them was the boar demon. Zhou Yuan thought that it was this demon that ruled the forest of this village.
Zhou Bing also suspected the same thing, he began to think how to overcome the group of boars.
Before Zhou Bing had any ideas to overcome them, one of the wild boars had already known of its existence. Zhou Yuan who had first realized it immediately jumped down and pulled out his sword.
Zhou Bing sighed, there was actually no other way to deal with the demons other than hunting them down, letting them live would actually have a devastating impact on the helpless citizens. Zhou Bing then joined in jumping down, they had to overcome this by fighting.
The arrival of Zhou Yuan and Zhou Bing who appeared in the middle of them made the group of wild boars surprised moreover the two humans instantly killed their herd.
Seeing that the other wild boar was angry, they began to consider the two humans as a threat.
The group of boars began to attack Zhou Bing and Zhou Yuan savagely, their wild instincts making the demons lustfully kill the two without thinking about their dead comrades.
Zhou Yuan exerted a great amount of profound energy on his sword to pierce through their hard skins, each attack focused on a vital part.
Taking a few minutes to finish off all of the boar demon, Zhou Yuan was unharmed but he was troubled enough to handle it.
In contrast to fighting warriors, wild boars only focus on attacking, when one of them dies then the other wild boar is more eager to kill him.
Zhou Yuan then began to take stealth gems from the dead boar he killed, despite their small size but still valuable, just like his grandfather thought Zhou Yuan wanted to save the gems for later training.
Zhou Bing did not prevent Zhou Yuan from taking the gemstone, let alone the stealth gem he had taken was the result of his own efforts.
'I took Yuan'er out of town because I wanted to make his mind open about the outside world, it seems that Yuan'er is already an adult...' Zhou Bing stroked his beard while clucking in admiration.
While fighting that group of boars, Zhou Yuan already understood how to deal with his opponent. Against demons and humans are different, both have their own ways when fighting.
"Yuan'er, how sure are you to be able to overcome the boar group by yourself?" Zhou Bing suddenly asked.
"Seeing from the average lifespan of his demons I can overcome them myself, Grandfather, as long as none of them are hundred-year-old demons."
Zhou Bing nodded slowly, he was quite amazed that Zhou Yuan knew the limits of his own strength. Zhou Bing then explained his plan, in short he wanted Zhou Yuan and himself to scatter hunting wild boars around this village.
It will take a long time if the two continue to be together, they believe there is still another group of wild boars or different types of demons.
Zhou Bing smiled awkwardly, he had not explained his plan until it was over yet Zhou Yuan had already answered him first excitedly.
"Take care of yourself Yuan'er, if you can't overcome those demons you'd better run or get on the tree branch." Zhou Bing was obviously still worried so he reminded his grandson.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he was actually quite confident of taking care of himself but did not refute his grandfather's words. However, a swordsman must be wary of his opponent even if weak.
After saying so Zhou Bing went in one direction while Zhou Yuan went in the other. Just a few minutes Zhou Yuan moved he had already met the second group of wild boars.
Their numbers and strength did not differ much, although now not with his Grandfather Zhou Yuan was still able to fight them alone.
It took longer before he managed to kill the group of boars, he then started bagging his stealth gems.
***
Eight hours passed Zhou Yuan managed to overcome the 12 groups of wild boars he met.
Now that he had collected many stealth gems, Zhou Yuan was pleased with the results of his hunting efforts for the previous few hours.
"This gem is more than enough for my training..." Zhou Yuan smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the leather pouch in his hand being filled with stealth gems.
There was no other type of demon in this forest other than the wild boar, Zhou Yuan guessed right that this village area was already controlled by the demon.
Zhou Yuan looked for the next group of wild boars to a different location point, a few kilometers later he found another group of wild boars.
Without waiting any longer Zhou Yuan jumped up and attacked the group of boars, killing them at speed did not take long for him to finish them off.
Zhou Yuan defeated the 13th group of boars, he was picking up stealth gems as usual until suddenly the ground he was treading shook.
Zhou Yuan's countenance instantly changed, he almost realized too late to focus on the stealth gems until a wild boar as big as an adult elephant appeared behind the trees and intended to butcher it.
Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance before leaping to dodge the attack, making the boar that plowed down on him hit the trees behind him until it collapsed and fell to a thud.
"You don't seem to be their leader, do you?" Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised to see the ramming power of the boar.
The leader of the boar was a demon that was almost a hundred years old, defeating him was much more troublesome.
The boar leader did not reply, his eyes filled with murderous lust because Zhou Yuan had killed his flock. The boar began to move back, attacking Zhou Yuan with its deadly ramming of tusks.
This time Zhou Yuan did not dodge the ramming of the boar, instead holding back with his physical strength. The boar clearly did not expect that when using all of its power it would be stopped easily by Zhou Yuan.
With the high quality of his bones, Zhou Yuan resisted the boar's ramming impulse, not quite there he directly lifted it up before slamming it down.
If anyone else was there, they would be surprised to see this, a young boy could lift an elephant-sized wild boar so easily.
Before the boar got up Zhou Yuan had already punched the boar's neck firmly, making the sound of broken bones sound loud. The leader of the boar was immediately killed in place with a collarbone that was detached from its origin.
