Spirit of the Mountain

Chapter 279: Humans, Pigs, and Rats The mist was like a huge quilt, pressing down from the sky and covering the earth tightly. The mountains, streams, trees, and "living creatures" on the ground all live in this soft and dense haze. In the midst of this, there is a flat scrubland sandwiched between two mountains. In this low shrubland, there lives a group of magical creatures. There is a pig, a ferocious wild boar with huge body, protruding tusks, fierce eyes and armor. There are rats. The rats here are not ordinary rats, nor are they just one or two, or seven or eight, but a huge, dense and boundless group. Among this huge group of rats that could not be counted, there was a particularly fat rat with lively eyes, surrounded by the rats, sitting high on the "throne". There was a young man in his early twenties. Although his clothes were in tatters, he had a resolute expression and was in good spirits. He had two unique short guns hanging on his belt. A single human suddenly appeared among a ferocious wild boar that was more than one meter tall and an uncountable number of rats. The situation seemed very strange. This young man's name is Zheng Yuyu. He is a member of the team sent by the Animal Management Bureau to perform the task this time, and he is also an outstanding investigator. At the moment when the world suddenly changed and a major explosion was about to occur, he was assigned by his superiors to be responsible for contacting and finding the scattered first team. Not long after we came out, we encountered overwhelming waves of clouds and fog, as well as a hurricane. Zheng Yu, who had no time to find a place to hide, was blown up into the sky and swept into the clouds by the first wave of strong wind. When he woke up, he was hanging on the crown of a tall and dense tree. Because of the shade of the trees, it was difficult for the light emitted by the white mist in the sky to pass through the dense leaves and reach the ground directly, so there was a large shadow in the shade of the trees under him. Many low shrubs grew in the vague shadows under the trees, and among these shrubs, Zheng Yu could clearly see many pairs of glowing eyes. The concentrated gazes of hundreds of pairs of greedy and crazy eyes made Zheng Yu dare not act rashly. The survival rules of the scouts prevented him from acting rashly unless there was an emergency, especially now when he was receiving important information. The task has not yet set a time limit. So, he was stuck in the tree. Zheng Yu survived five days relying on some sour green fruits on the big tree. On the sixth day, just when Zheng Yu was determined, prepared, and planning to break through, a huge wild boar suddenly appeared under the tree, breaking the deadlock between Zheng Yu and the mysterious "eye". The huge wild boar was like a king in the forest. With a few moves, it cleared all the shrubs under the big trees while rushing and running back and forth. In the same way, it also dispersed and trampled to death the densely packed eyes. Without the cover of the shrubs, Zheng Yu finally saw the true identity of those "eyes" that hurriedly ran out of the shadow area. They turned out to be huge rats. Although these eyes were a little dull, the mutant rats clearly revealed greed and madness, and were swept away under the "iron hoof" of the wild boar "king". After all the noise stopped, there was only the flat and open ground under the tree, and the Wild Boar King with curiosity and aftertaste in his eyes. Comparing before and after, Zheng Yu was definitely willing to face this wild boar king, which although looked more ferocious, had only one in number. Although I don’t know why the rats in front and the current wild boar king did not choose to climb the tree to attack me or hit the big tree, they still allowed me to survive. The temporary safety and the strange green fruits growing quickly on the trees gave Zheng Yu plenty of time to think. After calming down, the attentive Zheng Yu observed that the wild boar under the tree seemed a little abnormal. First, the Wild Boar King cleared away the rats and cleaned the ground. Then the Pig King came under the tree and smelled it. He looked up at Zheng Yu who was half hidden in the tree, then turned and left. The complex emotions in the Wild Boar King's parting glance almost made Zheng Yu think they were human eyes. Because of this, Zheng Yu did not dare to act rashly after the Wild Boar King left. The thing under the tree was obviously no longer a wild boar, but a monster. I guess these few lean ribs were not enough for half of their dinner. . Before you figure out the situation, it's better to be cautious. Anyway, you have been waiting for five days. After I woke up from a coma, the fog and the strong wind seemed to be a different world in this mountain forest. Before you figure out where this is, you'd better be careful. Choosing to continue to observe on the tree, Zheng Yu patiently began to squat, but what happened next made Zheng Yu even more confused. On the sixth day, the wild boar king ran back after leaving the big tree for a long time and brought back an animal that looked like a mountain deer. After chewing off most of it, he threw the rest at the root of the tree and used his front hooves. He pushed, and then raised his head to glance at Zheng Yu on the tree. The obvious sharing in his eyes made Zheng Yu almost scream out. On the seventh day, early in the morning, I saw that Zheng Yu had not eaten half of the deer he had thrown under the tree. The wild boar king came up and wiped it all away. He gave Zheng Yu a look that seemed to contain contempt and left. . Looking at the mechanical watch on his wrist, in the evening, at the same time as yesterday, the Wild Boar King came back with a thick rhizome of an unknown plant in his mouth. After looking up, he threw it under the tree. It was probably because the Wild Boar King came back after he was full this time. He turned around and found a comfortable position to lie down in the pit dug out yesterday. The Wild Boar King went to sleep and paid no attention to Zheng Yu's mood in the tree. It's just a waste of time. The increasingly obvious feeding behavior made Zheng Yu's heart begin to collapse. Among the unknown thick plant roots under the tree, there was a broken section with white liquid flowing out continuously. The sweet fragrance permeating the air attracted the saliva in Zheng Yu's mouth from time to time, causing him to have a strong feeling in his stomach. sense of hunger. In desperation, Zheng Yu had no choice but to eat frantically the sour green fruits on the tree, chewing and eating to suppress the alluring fragrance and squirming hunger. But after the sour taste entered his stomach, the hunger in his stomach became even stronger. So, after eating a whole day's worth of green fruits, but still unable to suppress the hunger in his stomach, Zheng Yu, controlled by his appetite, secretly got off the tree.
