Chapter 791 507: The Price Just Went Up
The guide's shout was like a thunderclap, waking everyone in an instant!Wild boars can swim!
Though this stream is rapid, it's only three or four meters wide, with water depth reaching at most to a person's chest. It can't stop these raging beasts at all!
As if to prove the guide's words, after a brief pause, several of the largest wild boars on the opposite bank suddenly dove into the icy water.
Their four short, sturdy legs paddling fiercely, they swam quickly toward the other side!
Seeing this, the other wild boars all roared and followed suit. For a moment, the river was densely packed with wild boars striving to cross!
"Damn! Quick! Run into the woods! Climb the trees!" Qi Yun shouted loudly, his face changing dramatically.
The group hardly had time to catch their breath when their nerves tightened again instantly, and they hurriedly left the riverbank, running toward the trees where the guide was.
The speed at which the wild boars crossed the river was faster than expected, especially those leading. In the blink of an eye, they were already rushing ashore.
They shook the water off their bodies, and with blood-red eyes, they immediately locked onto the fleeing crowd, snorting angrily as they charged forward.
"Hurry!" The guide shouted hoarsely from the tree, reaching out a hand to Old Yao below, trying to pull him up.
Qin Sizhi's apprentice, Jin Bao, was below, dragging Old Yao's two legs and finally sending him up to the tree branch.
Despite his age, Qin Sizhi was agile and skillful, climbing even faster than Qi Yun.
He kicked off the tree trunk, borrowed strength to leap upward, grabbed a thick branch overhead, and swiftly climbed up with clean, sharp movements.
Qi Yun also climbed up a large tree half a meter thick, reaching out to assist Hua Weiguo and Ignacio below.
These two were not as physically fit; after running that stretch, they were already gasping heavily.
But at the critical moment of life and death, their potential burst forth. They used both hands and feet to climb desperately and managed to reach the branch with Qi Yun's help.
The remaining Niu Da and others were in the rear, covering as they alternated shooting to buy time for the group while retreating into the woods.
As the wild boar herd pressed closer, the stench of their breath could already be smelled.
"Old Niu! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a shout from An Zai came from the tree ahead.
Niu Da was running while changing magazines. Hearing the shout, he didn't think twice and immediately lunged forward to the left.
Just as his body touched the ground, a gust of wind mixed with a strong stench swept past him!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several gunshots rang out as bullets hit the wild boar's head and neck at close range. It let out a piercing howl, stumbled back two steps, and fell with a thud, its limbs still twitching.
It was only at such close range that handgun bullets could injure a wild boar.
But the death of this wild boar did not scare off the herd; the smell of blood aroused their ferocity even more, and more wild boars with red eyes surrounded them.
During this brief gap, Niu Da quickly got up from the ground, took two steps as if they were three, kicked hard with his right foot, leaped into the air, and hurled himself toward the thick tree trunk, then scrambled upward, kicking frantically.
Old Eagle and Old Bai each ran toward nearby big trees, their speed reaching its peak, and under mutual cover, everyone eventually got up into the trees.
They had just left the ground when the wild boar herd rushed to the base of the trees, their sharp tusks hitting the trunks with a dull "thud thud" sound, causing the trees to shake.
Qi Yun clung to the trunk, looking down to see nothing but a dense mass of glaring red eyes below.
The boars gathered under a few trees, relentlessly ramming with their bodies, gnawing at the trunks with their tusks, making a nerve-wracking "crunch crunch" sound as the foul stench assaulted the senses.
"Hold tight! Make sure you hold tight!" the guide shouted a reminder.
Luckily, the trees in this primeval forest were very sturdy. Although the wild boars kept ramming them, there was no immediate danger of breaking.
However, the continuous impacts made the trees shake non-stop. They felt like small boats in a stormy sea, and they had to hold tightly to the branches to stay secure.
"Qi... What should we do! Are we just going to hang on the trees forever...?" Ignacio, never having experienced such thrills, was terrified, gripping the tree with his legs trembling.
Qi Yun frowned, observing the wild boar herd below.
Despite shooting more than a dozen earlier, there were still many left, and they were getting more agitated.
The herd couldn't do much to such thick trees for the time being, but they obviously weren't planning to give up, just circling and taking turns to charge, seemingly determined to kill those up in the trees.
If this keeps up, once Hua Weiguo and Ignacio's strength is exhausted, they might fall off the trees.
"Hold on tight! Don't fall!" Qi Yun shouted as he tightly held onto the branch below him, yelling toward the guide not far away, "Is there any way to drive them off?!"
The guide didn't answer immediately; instead, he scanned the wild boar herd below, as if searching for something.
Moments later, he pointed to the tree where Niu Da was, shouting about the largest boar with the longest tusks, "That one! That's the leader! If we kill it, the herd will scatter!"
Qi Yun followed the direction of the guide's finger and saw a particularly conspicuous boar, larger than the others by a circle, weighing an estimated three to four hundred pounds, with bristles like steel needles. At that moment, it was using its massive body to continuously hit the tree where Niu Da was, scraping off a large patch of bark.
