At this time, the crowd of onlookers was already three layers deep. Fortunately, Gu Tongwan and his friends arrived early so they were able to occupy the first row. Xiaoli and Lan Cen stared straight ahead, afraid of missing the pig-slaughtering scene.

"I've seen chickens and ducks being killed, but I've never seen a pig being killed. Especially a mutated wild boar. It's interesting to think about it." Xiaoli stood in the crowd, breathing heavily and rubbing her hands constantly. She almost jumped up with excitement.

It was no wonder that she and Lan Cen were so excited. After all, they had never seen such a lively scene when they were at the base before. There were rarely such large-scale activities at the base. On the one hand, they were worried that too many people would cause chaos and easily lead to accidents. On the other hand, they were also worried that terrorists would plan terrorist activities in secret. In addition, holding such activities required the deployment of a large number of Self-Defense Forces at one time, which would disrupt the daily security work of the Self-Defense Forces.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs, several strong men came out from behind the tent, pushing a trailer that was at least three meters long. There were two strong men standing behind the trailer, and two more beside it. Together with the two men in the front, it took a total of six men who were at least 180 cm tall and weighed over 160 kg. Only with the joint push could the trailer with rollers be pulled.

The trailer was covered with a black tarpaulin, which is usually used as an awning or tent. It looked very thick, and there was a huge bulge under the tarpaulin. People present had already guessed that the thing on the trailer was a "mutated wild boar."

Judging from the trailer and the fact that at least six strong men were needed to push the trailer at the same time, the size of this mutant wild boar was unusual.

Gu Tongwan had seen mutant wild boars before, but she was busy chasing other prey at that time, so the wild boar disappeared in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the wild boar she saw that time was about 300 kilograms, not huge. But I heard that the meat of mutant wild boars is more tender than the mutant pigs in the farm, and the taste is closer to the previous pork, and it also has less mutton smell.

"The wild boar this time looks like it should be very big. This trailer seems to be able to pull a maximum weight of two or three tons. Did some hunter guild hunt a 500-kilogram wild boar before? I think this one seems to be even bigger."

"I estimate it to be at least one ton, which is bigger than the mutant brown bear last time."

"This is enough for at least several thousand people. I don't know if we will be able to enjoy this today."

"If you want to eat, just pay. I think 150 points should be enough for a meal."

The crowd began to discuss the prey under the tarpaulin, and were all curious about what was different about hunting wild boars this time.

Gu Tongwan turned his head and whispered in Chen Yanxi's ear: "I didn't expect that there are still experts in the Hunter Guild in the camp. A mutant wild boar of this size should be very troublesome."

Ordinary mutant wild boars are around D level, but their size will change as the animal's superpowers evolve. For example, the two-headed black mamba she had seen in the northern forest was a special body that had evolved continuously, so its size would surpass other large animals.

"This is a B-level mutant wild boar. Although it only takes five or more C-level psychics to subdue B-level prey, mutant wild boars are a bit tricky. Their outward-growing fangs can grow to at least half a meter long, and the fangs contain toxins. Although they won't kill people immediately, the impact is very strong. Even if they are not stabbed to death on the spot, they will gradually lose their body's supernatural powers due to the venom. In addition, wild boars are violent mutant beasts. Once they lock on to their prey, they will hunt it to the end, and they have a strong desire for revenge. If the prey escapes, they will immediately search for its traces. They can find prey whose breath they have marked within a range of at least ten kilometers.

Chen Yanxi spoke in a steady tone, and lowered his head to whisper in her ear. Anyone who saw it would have thought that the two of them were whispering in each other's ears. Some men and women who were about to approach and chat with them because of their eye-catching looks immediately gave up the idea, after all, they looked like a young couple.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Today our pig-killing banquet will be held from 3:30 pm to 10 pm. We welcome anyone who is interested in participating in the game or the banquet. Of course, those who want to watch the fun are welcome too."

A man of medium height wearing a burgundy cotton-padded jacket walked out of the tent. The man looked very young, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but he was a good talker and seemed to have certain hosting skills. He was probably the emcee in charge of hosting the event today.

"I didn't expect this event to be so good. There's even a host." Liao Yunyun crossed her arms with interest, becoming more and more curious about this so-called "pig-killing banquet".

It was also the first time that Cai Min had seen such a large pig-killing banquet. Compared with previous years, this year's pig-killing banquet seemed to have more variety, and the mutant animals were not hung directly on the racks as in the past. This time it seemed that they wanted to deliberately create some mystery, so no one had seen the prey until now.

"This trick of keeping people on edge seems to be quite effective. Look how many people have come here. No matter what, the Hunter Guild that is hosting the event today is destined to make a lot of money."

Hearing his wife's teasing, Xu Xuesong nodded repeatedly: "These tricks are endless, and they do have some advertising ideas. It reminds me of my days of working like a slave in an advertising company and being forced by my boss to work overnight to prepare plans."

"When did you work in an advertising company? How come I didn't know about it?" Cai Min glanced at her husband. She remembered that Xu Xuesong didn't seem to be a professional in advertising.

"My first job after graduation was at a small but well-known advertising company. I worked there for four months as an assistant to the advertising director, but in fact I had to know a bit about everything. It was not a happy time so I seldom mention it to anyone." Xu Xuesong now sighs when he thinks of his life back then. Who would have thought that just eight or nine years later he would indeed get rid of the life of a wage earner and instead follow his lover to farm the land.

Just when the couple wanted to continue chatting, the emcee directly picked up a connected microphone. This scene suddenly reminded people of the rural stage. It seemed that this kind of connected microphone was quite common before 2000. I don’t know where he got this one from, it really has a sense of age.

"Ahem, neighbors, I know you must be anxious for the pig-slaughtering banquet to start today. Don't worry, we still have two or three small games to play before the official pig-slaughtering. Friends who have participated in previous years should know that those who win the game can not only enter our pig-slaughtering meal for free, but also receive free gifts. Most importantly, there will be a small auction after the pig-slaughtering banquet for everyone to participate." The host explained today's activities with a squinted eye and a smile.

But some people in the audience were still impatient and started to make a noise, "Why are you doing so many things? Why don't you just let us see the prey first? Do you really think we have so much time to wait?"

"That's right, let's start hunting first. At least after seeing it, we can know whether it's worth participating in your game or not?"

The host did not feel embarrassed by these people's provocations. Instead, he replied with a relaxed expression: "The reason why we want to participate in the game in the front is to maintain the mystery and enhance the atmosphere. Moreover, we have already negotiated with the organizer of the market today. The pig-killing banquet will be held until 10:30 pm. Our Hunter Guild has also informed the security team. Now there are security teams and some members of other guilds outside the venue to maintain order. Besides, everyone should know that the security near our market has always been good. If you live not far away, I would prefer everyone to stay and participate in the event or just watch the excitement."

Now that things have come to this, the few people who were originally looking for trouble also saw that there were indeed people wearing security team uniforms in the crowd not far away, so they curled their lips and stopped talking.

Seeing that the atmosphere had whetted everyone's appetite, the host nodded to the two burly men behind him, and then saw the two men put a table in the middle of the venue.

"The first event is still the same as in previous years - arm wrestling."

The host's voice suddenly increased, and then one of the men who was moving the table sat down in front of it. The sturdy man was originally wearing a coat, but now he simply took off his coat and sweater, revealing arms as thick as other people's thighs. At this time, the muscles on his arms bulged high, and it was obvious that he was full of strength.

"This is a hunter from our guild, but don't worry, he's not a power user. This is a pure strength competition, so using powers is against the rules, and power users are prohibited from participating. But let me first say that this team member can easily reach 80 kilograms in wrist strength, and 100 kilograms in grip strength. Friends who want to participate should think carefully."

The host's words immediately boosted the atmosphere of the scene, and some people exclaimed. You know, even without using superpowers, it is not something that ordinary people can do to have a grip strength of 100 kilograms. Let's put it this way, the grip strength of an adult man is usually 50 kilograms, and the grip strength of a weightlifter is only about 80 kilograms. For people who weigh over 100 kilograms, crushing apples and squeezing watermelons with bare hands is a piece of cake.

Just before the show started, the host placed something similar to a vertical shaft ornament on the stage. Gu Tongwan thought that the host probably didn't put it on the table just for the sake of appearance, so he subconsciously looked at Chen Yanxi.

"That should be a supernatural power detection device that can detect supernatural power fluctuations within a short distance. If either party uses supernatural power during the arm wrestling process, the color of this crystal-like thing will change."

This was the first time that Gu Tongwan had seen such equipment, which reminded her of the crystal instruments of a certain level that often appeared in the Western fantasy novels she had read before.

"Okay, registration is free. Anyone who is interested can sign up first. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention the prize this time. It is a wild boar's ear."

"Wow, this prize is pretty good, much better than three or five pounds of meat. The pig ears are full of cartilage, and judging from the size of the wild boar, they can't be too small. This single pig ear is enough for a family to eat for more than ten meals." Cai Min said with a smile and then looked at Chen Yanxi. Originally, she wanted to encourage them to go up and participate, but when she thought about the fact that the other party was only a "D-level mutant", although he was strong, there was still a certain gap compared to the big guy opposite.

However, since the prizes were announced, there were already participants eager to try. The next moment, a tall man with a physique comparable to that of the burly man sitting at the table walked out of the crowd, saying, "I'll take the challenge!" and started rolling up his sleeves to get to work.

"Wow, is this going to be a muscle-to-muscle showdown?" Liao Yunyun raised her cell phone and started taking pictures. She never forgets to take pictures wherever she goes, truly a journalist.

The muscles on the tall man's arms were bulging like fists, and his momentum was no less than that of the sturdy man opposite him.

However, the sturdy man didn't show much expression on his face, as if he had seen many people like him. The host, on the other hand, looked like he was watching a show. "Whoever leaves his elbow on the table will be considered a failure. If the other hand helps, he will also be disqualified. Okay, I'll count to one and start the game. Three, two, one, the game begins!"

Everyone originally thought that this would at least be a long-lasting match between two evenly matched people, but they didn't expect that after only half a minute, the tall man's face turned red, and his right hand, which was exerting force, was trembling slightly. Even his wrist was tilted halfway towards the opponent. Anyone could see that he was struggling.

About a minute into the fight, the sturdy man shouted "Hey!" and then he exerted force on his wrist. The tall man's wrist was instantly defeated. He was defeated completely.

"Wow, this is amazing, is there anyone here who can win?"

"Yeah, and you can't use your powers, so you just have to rely on your physical strength."

The people watching the fun below began to talk about it. They all felt that the people sent by the guild today were too powerful. They were afraid that it would be a bit difficult to win the game.

But at this moment, a Lai Yangyang voice shouted "I'm here!"

Following the crowd's line of sight, everyone saw a hunched, skinny man slowly walking out of the crowd.

The man was wearing a worn cotton jacket. He was only about 1.6 meters tall and weighed probably 100 kilograms. The flesh on his cheeks was basically gone, and he looked like he was unable to wake up. He looked like he would fall down if the wind blew. After he shouted that, someone nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Is this guy mentally normal? With his small physique, he wants to arm wrestle others? He'd be lucky if he doesn't break any bones."

"I think it was intentional. Do you want to extort money after getting hurt?"

The man didn't care about the outside noise at all. He stared at the embarrassed host in front of him with a pair of sleepy eyes, "Why? I can't participate?"
