Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 245. Encounter
Chapter 245: 245. Encounter
"You guys go back first, I’ll return later."
Leaving this excited phrase, Jin’er quickly disappeared.
"Jin’er..." Da Ya felt she was fast enough but still couldn’t catch Jin, exchanged a glance with the people beside her, and hurriedly chased after her.
They knew Jin’er was formidable, but how could Da Ya and Xiao Mao feel at ease leaving Jin alone in the mountains?
But after chasing for a while, Jin was nowhere to be seen. The girl’s speed was too fast; even as they used all their strength, they couldn’t keep up.
"Big Sis Da Ya, what should we do?" Xiao Mao was getting a bit anxious.
"Go back, find Jin’er’s big brother."
Amidst this vast whiteness, everyone felt lost. Despite numerous traces in the snow, they truly couldn’t discern which one was Jin’er’s.
"Yes, yes," they said, quickly turning around to climb up the mountain, crossing over directly to their Big Cave.
At this time, it was expected that Jin’er’s second brother would be in the cave with Grandpa Wang Tie, researching how to forge weapons.
Meanwhile, Jin’er was chasing after the tail of the wild boar, completely unaware that Da Ya and Xiao Mao were worried and did not heed her words, thus losing her trail.
To catch up with the wild boar, Jin’er didn’t hold back at all, using her utmost speed. Her body, enhanced by Spiritual Energy, couldn’t say it left no trace in the snow, but she was as light as a swallow, her speed astonishing. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared over the hillside, chasing the black shadow towards another mountain.
Originally she thought she could easily catch up, but unexpectedly, the creature was so fast. It led Jin’er over one mountain after another, until finally, she shot an arrow and hit the creature after crossing the fourth peak.
By now she was very far from the mountain top they were located at, the furthest Jin’er had run in days.
"Run, go on," the still breathless Jin’er easily lifted one hoof of the nearly lifeless wild boar, swaying the small thing, speaking with good-natured annoyance.
In truth, it was really quite tiring. If not for her current speed, it wasn’t certain she could have caught this creature.
Looking at the creature now exhaling more than inhaling, Jin’er carefully observed it. Never having seen it outside of an animal world program, she was genuinely discovering it for the first time, hence her excitement.
Especially knowing its medicinal value, along with its reportedly excellent taste, Jin’er couldn’t help but be a bit eager.
Though its size wasn’t large, it wasn’t thin either; estimating the weight in her hand as over twenty pounds, it was indeed quite good.
When she returned, she wanted to carefully think about how to make use of it without wasting a bit.
"It’s really quite the runner. It’s a pity it isn’t a leopard with that speed," the now completely lifeless wild boar, Jin’er muttered to herself, feeling its soft fur and already pondering making a pair of collars for her mother and grandmother.
She casually gave it a few more shakes and was about to store it in space when Jin’er paused. Standing up, she looked straight ahead, her eyes slightly squinting. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
On the opposite side of the mountain from where she stood, Jin’er ’saw’ people, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Saying ’saw’ brings up the need to mention Jin’er’s continual efforts to improve her spiritual power. The Spiritual Energy accumulated in her body, bit by bit absorbed, allowed Jiner’s spiritual power to undergo another qualitative enhancement, extending her range to five hundred meters. Thus, unless the diameter of the whole mountain surpassed five hundred meters, all fell within her spiritual reach.
For a brief moment, seeing so many people, Jin’er was slightly stalled.
It seemed a long time since she had seen people outside Hua Village.
It truly was unexpected; she thought they were the only ones in Qinggu Mountain, not realizing others existed.
Knowing there were no other settlements around Qinggu Mountain, humanity indeed was resilient!
Jin’er couldn’t help but sigh.
However, this group seemed to be in trouble, under frenzied attack by several wild boars; though they had many people, their overly bulky clothing hindered their movement, drastically putting them at a disadvantage while fending off the overzealous wild boars, moving in her direction as they fought.
Who knew how they provoked the wild boars to be chased so desperately?
Jin’er took a few glances and lost interest, turning to leave when a shout caused her to halt again, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Old Zhou, Luo Lai, take the master in that direction. We’ll lure away these wild boars,"
Luo Lai... wasn’t that the name of Luo Song’s attendant? A moment of realization had Jin’er looking towards the one being protected by more than a dozen people.
Could it... be Luo Song?
Weren’t they in the state city?
That place was over a thousand miles away; was it possible?
Jin’er could hardly believe it, closely observing the person being guarded in the center.
Regrettably, they were dressed too bulky, with nothing but the eyes exposed; identifying them was really difficult.
...Perhaps it’s just a coincidence.
With this thought, Jin’er turned and was about to leave but hesitated a few steps later.
What if it wasn’t a coincidence, after all, Luo Song was big brother’s friend, and the improvement of their family’s living was indeed due to his help. Otherwise, even holding great treasures wouldn’t have kept them unnoticed, let alone the resources in space.
Ah, never mind, whether or not it’s him, I’ll go; it may just be to contribute a little to humanity in this world.
Living was just too hard; one more life saved is a victory.
Seeing the wild boars becoming more frenzied over the mountain, Jin’er no longer hesitated, swiftly moving while carrying the wild boar.
Hoping these people could hold on until she arrived!
Meanwhile, Old Zhou, Luo Lai, and other guards protected the master, rapidly crossing through the chaotic vegetation, instinctively running towards the mountain. The remaining guards aimed to draw the wild boars’ attention and climbed onto proximal trees, throwing snow to taunt them.
This time they truly aggravated the wild boars, who scratched the ground and charged at the two-legged creatures in the trees, crashing heavily into them, trying to shake them out.
Luo Song was passively dragged along, and upon seeing the wild boars fiercely striking the trees, his eyes reddened; wanting to go down, he was tightly held by Luo Lai and Old Zhou.
"Old Zhou, we can’t abandon Xu An and the others." No matter what Luo Song said, he wouldn’t budge a step.
Even though the guards should ensure the master’s safety, these months, they had faithfully protected him and his grandfather, never neglecting. Humans had hearts, and Luo Song saw this; how could he, as their master, leave the guards behind to flee alone?
Moreover, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t even catch a chicken. Although potentially not as skilled as Old Zhou or Xu An, he wasn’t bad. Facing these wild boars, engaging them directly, might not be a lost cause.
Also, with so many dangers on the mountain, they couldn’t always let the guards be the sacrificial ones, right? That would chill their hearts.
No matter what, Luo Song refused to hide; he forcefully broke free from Old Zhou and Luo Lai’s grip, revealing a hand tightly holding a long sword.
