Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Wild Boar Feast

“Qian Xia!”

Seeing this scene, Ye Lingchen urgently shouted.

“Not good!”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

Undaunted by the danger, Qian Xia raised her hand and shot a Flying Dagger towards the wild boar.

At the same time, she executed a tactical roll, dashing behind a nearby tree.

...

The wild boar’s savage charge couldn’t turn!

That’s why Qian Xia was so composed.

“Thud!”

The wild boar’s head hit the tree.

“This melon is ripe!”

This thought sprang to Fang Xiaocao’s mind.

“Ah~”

Before she could think further, two screams pulled Fang Xiaocao back to reality.

Fang Xiaocao quickly looked over and was immediately shocked.

The huge impact of the wild boar hitting the tree caused the tree to shake violently, knocking Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou, who were sitting on a branch, down.

Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou rolled onto the ground in front of the wild boar.

The wild boar was stunned.

Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou were also stunned!

Wild boar: What’s happening?

Is there a surprise too?

The blood-covered wild boar widened its eyes and stared intently at Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou.

The next second, the wild boar “roared” and shook its head, charging at Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou.

Those yellow, bloodstained tusks.

Were like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, exuding a dangerous aura, causing Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou to shiver all over.

“We’re screwed!”

Everyone present had this thought.

At such a close distance, there was no saving them.

Even Qian Xia couldn’t reach out in time.

“Bang!”

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

The charging wild boar staggered.

Driven by inertia, it took a few more steps forward.

Its massive body then crashed to the ground.

Its tusks were less than ten centimeters from Su Wanqing.

“Great marksmanship!”

Qian Xia exclaimed.

“Are… are we saved?”

Su Wanqing murmured to herself.

“Whew…”

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Skills like that deserve a reward!”

“Give Aquarius an extra chicken leg!”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself in her mind.

Qian Xia stepped out from behind the tree and helped Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou up from the ground.

Su Wanqing was so frightened her legs had turned to jelly, and she almost wet herself.

Even Wan Xiaozhou, after a close brush with death, was still shaken, limbs trembling.

“Are you both alright?”

Qian Xia asked softly.

“No… no problem…”

Su Wanqing stammered in response.

Wan Xiaozhou shakily shook her pale face.

“Good to hear!”

Fang Xiaocao slid down from the tree and spoke.

Everyone came down from the trees and gathered around, looking concernedly at Su Wanqing and Wan Xiaozhou.

“Aquarius?”

Fang Xiaocao called out.

“Princess, I’m here!”

Aquarius stepped out from behind a tree and responded.

“What just happened?”

“Why did you come back so late?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with a frown.

“We encountered a group of Blacklist peripheral members. It took the three of us to deal with them before we could rush back,”

Aquarius answered with his head lowered.

“How many people?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao was startled and asked.

The presence of Blacklist peripheral members here meant that Capricorn and others might be nearby.

Aquarius had said that Blacklist peripheral members, being vassals to the official members, do not operate alone.

Once there were members of the Blacklist periphery present, it meant that at least one formal member was nearby.

“A small team, ten people!”

Aquarius answered in a deep voice.

“Who is the formal member leading the team?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

“The formal member leading the team has not been found.”

Aquarius sighed.

“Could it be Capricorn?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and asked.

“I’m not sure!”

Aquarius said in a low voice.

“But if it is Capricorn, she won’t let the three of us get away.”

Aquarius hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

“Unless …”

As if thinking of something, Aquarius hesitated.

“Unless what?”

“Don’t keep us in suspense!”

Fang Xiaocao pressed with a frown.

“Unless Capricorn is being held up by someone!”

Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s displeasure, Aquarius quickly responded.

“Being held up?”

“Could there be other people nearby?”

“Is their target Capricorn?”

Fang Xiaocao was thinking rapidly as she inquired.

“That’s right!”

“It might be those who left traces earlier.”

Aquarius nodded and analyzed.

“That’s possible!”

Fang Xiaocao nodded in agreement.

“Xiaocao, what should we do?”

Upon hearing the dialogue between Fang Xiaocao and Aquarius, Zhi Qi asked worriedly.

“Rest here for now!”

“Let’s process the wild boars first, and eat until we are full.”

Fang Xiaocao thought for a moment and then suggested.

They could not carry the four wild boars with them.

But they could have a full meal first and then cut some choice meat to take with them.

Upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, everyone immediately started their assigned tasks.

Those who were assigned to cut meat did so, those who collected wood did that, and others started the fire.

Although Capricorn might be nearby, Fang Xiaocao didn’t rush to change locations.

The battle with the wild boars had made so much noise that they had already been exposed; moving now would only leave a trail, and if Capricorn wanted to find them, it would be all too easy.

Instead of running away exhaustedly, it was better to wait at ease.

They used the time to replenish their strength first.

If Capricorn came, they would fight it out.

“Aquarius, go look for signs of combat nearby.”

“See if we can trace back to those people, or perhaps find bodies,” Fang Xiaocao instructed quietly to Aquarius.

“Yes!”

Aquarius responded softly, turned, and slipped into the trees; with a quick movement, she disappeared from Fang Xiaocao’s sight.

“Xiaozhou, go call Lin Meng over,” Fang Xiaocao said to Wan Xiaozhou after Aquarius left. @@novelbin@@

“Okay!”

Wan Xiaozhou affirmed and headed toward the camp.

“Qian Xia, find a tree to hide in as a covert sentry and keep an eye on the surroundings.”

“If any strangers approach, immediately alert us,” Fang Xiaocao considered and then said to Qian Xia.

“Okay!”

Qian Xia nodded, pulled the Flying Daggers from the wild boar, leaped onto a nearby large tree, and quickly hid himself among the foliage.

The tree Qian Xia had chosen was very good.

The surroundings of Fang Xiaocao and the others were all within Qian Xia’s surveillance area.

After making arrangements, Fang Xiaocao rolled up her sleeves, grabbed a Dagger, and joined in dividing up the wild boar meat.

Fang Xiaocao speculated that, given the cooler weather now, fresh pork should be able to be preserved for a while.

They still didn’t know how long they would be stuck in these damn deep mountains and forests.

This expedition was a conspiracy from the start.

It was originally stated that there would be supply points at the meeting spots, but Fang Xiaocao felt that was false information too.

The Blacklist never intended for them to reach the meeting points, so how could they possibly prepare food supplies there for them?

Therefore, Fang Xiaocao felt it was necessary to make some preparations in advance and gather more food.

Not only did Fang Xiaocao intend to carry fresh meat but also roasted meat; before all this meat went bad, their meals would consist entirely of wild boar meat.

The instant foods they had brought, like instant noodles, could be kept for a long time. Without necessity, Fang Xiaocao would not let anyone in the team eat them again.
