Chapter 1142 Wild Boar Herd

"Captain, it looks like Greenery's convoy!"

Chen Yinong, who was driving, suddenly noticed several cars in his rearview mirror.

“Greenery? Ignore them, let’s keep going. We won’t be able to drive anymore soon.” Lu Tianxue frowned and glanced at Shi Jia subconsciously, but the latter was engrossed in designing sketches and didn’t pay any attention to her.

The car drove another five kilometers and reached the edge of the Yellow-ranked Turbid Beast's habitat.

"It's time to get off."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia immediately put away his paintbrush, took out his longsword, checked his storage bag, and got off the carriage with the others.

"Huh? Senior Liu Yuan?" Shi Jia only then noticed the Green Team.

The members of the Blue and Green Team glanced at him in surprise, realizing that he hadn't heard a word Chen Yinong said.

“Captain Lu, junior Shi Jia, what a coincidence, we actually met in the Black Zone,” Liu Yuan said with a smile.

The members of the Blue and Green Team rolled their eyes. Who exactly had been following them all this way?

Lu Tianxue ignored him and looked at the team members, "Yi Nong, put the car away, stay alert, and act according to the previous arrangements. Remember not to act on your own."

"Yes!"

Shi Jia blinked. What was the arrangement before? He looked at the captain in confusion, but the captain only gave him a look and didn't say anything.

The members of the Blue and Green Team headed towards the dense forest, with Shi Jia lagging behind.

Liu Yuan called out to Shi Jia, "Junior Brother Shi Jia, would you like to hunt with us? We all happen to be using the spirit swords you manifest. You can observe how we use the swords and collect data, which will help you adjust your design later. We can design a blue-tier spirit sword as soon as possible."

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. "No need, senior. If you want to cooperate with our Qinglan team, talk to the captain first. I'm just a lowly spirit purifier."

He hasn't even held him accountable for misleading Tianxue yet!
"Is that so? That's a pity. Let's work together again next time."

Shi Jia ignored him and quickly caught up with the group.

As the Green Team gradually disappeared behind them, Dai Yuxuan deliberately lagged behind by two steps and walked alongside Shi Jia.

"Shi Jiaxue... Shi Jia, don't get too close to Liu Yuan." Dai Yuxuan hesitated before speaking.

Shi Jia looked at him, "What's wrong, Senior Liu Yuan?"

"He... he's very calculating!" Dai Yuxuan frowned, as if she had finally managed to utter a single word.

Shi Jia nodded, "Indeed, Senior Liu Yuan is a very shrewd and tactful person. But as long as you know your limits, it's actually quite comfortable dealing with this kind of person."

As long as you still have value to him, he won't give you the cold shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't let him scheme against me," Shi Jia said confidently.

Dai Yuxuan's expression was not good. She left a sentence and strode forward, saying, "Whatever."

Shi Jia raised an eyebrow, ignoring the little brat's sudden outburst.

At this moment, Lu Tianxue, who was walking in front, became increasingly serious. "Everyone be careful, something's not right here."

"Yes, I didn't hear any sounds of the turbid beasts or mutated plants." Even though there were obvious signs of turbid beast activity around.

"Yes, this situation likely indicates the presence of a powerful, monstrous beast nearby."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia also looked around warily. The next moment, he caught a glimpse of the drooping aerial roots out of the corner of his eye. An absurd yet reasonable idea popped into his mind. He paused for a moment, then quickly put the sapling back in.

The next instant, with a "rustling" and a "whoosh," the dense forest seemed to come alive. The sound sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Here it comes!" Lu Tianxue gripped her red-tasseled spear tightly, her muscles tense, maintaining an offensive stance.

"Whoosh~" A gray shadow darted out from the dense forest, and Lu Tianxue's red-tasseled spear thrust out at the same time. "Thud!" Lu Tianxue felt a heavy weight on the spearhead, and upon closer inspection, she saw a plump gray-eared rabbit the size of a small dog!

“It’s a rabbit.” Lu Tianxue frowned, flicked her spear at the gray-eared rabbit’s brow, and a yellow crystal fell into her hand, while the gray-eared rabbit was thrown back into the bushes next to her.

"Soft and rustling~"

Shi Jia heard a creaking sound and looked closely. In an instant, the rabbit had been devoured by the vines, leaving only its skin. He suppressed his discomfort and followed the group closely.

The group continued forward, the roars and tearing sounds of the turbid beasts tearing at their prey filling the air, but they did not encounter the so-called powerful turbid beast. While puzzled, the group grew increasingly vigilant.

Shi Jia, suspected of being the culprit, tightened his grip on the pen and remained silent.

However, they soon lost their focus and became wary, as they encountered a group of wild boars foraging for food!

"Shi Jia, you climb the tree first. The rest of you, go in groups of three and hunt the wild boars." Lu Tianxue quickly arranged the battle strategy, and the group rushed into the wild boar herd.

At this moment, Shi Jia understood why Lu Tianxue was able to take the position of captain of the Qinglan team: she had high combat strength, quick thinking in battle, and the talent to command.

Shi Jia, of course, did not climb the tree. He followed behind them with his longsword, slaying any wild boars that were missed and finishing them off as well.

Wild boars are ferocious, and these beasts are not only ferocious, but their attack power is also several levels higher. Their impact and speed caused Shi Jia, a novice, considerable trouble. Several times he was nearly knocked away by a wild boar.

Lu Tianxue once again saved Shi Jia from the wild boar's attack and ordered, "Now climb the tree."

Shi Jia was still shaken and dared not add anything. He looked at the big tree next to him. The trunk was straight and had no branches. How was he supposed to climb up?
He looked at the mountain of pigs and the sea of ​​pigs, and without delay, he summoned the sapling and asked it to carry him up the tree.

No one noticed that the moment the saplings sprouted, the frenzied wild boars fell silent. They only noticed that for a fleeting moment, as if divinely inspired, they swiftly felled five or six wild boars with a few swings of their knives.

"Phew~" Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her numb arm, and quickly put the sapling back.

"Oink o ...

"Bang!" The big tree shook violently from the impact. Shi Jia was startled and quickly looked down. He saw the wild boar charging wildly, and the Blue and Green Team was being pushed back step by step. What was going on?
"Everyone be careful, the monstrous beast has gone berserk!" Lu Tianxue shouted.

"Captain, should we retreat first? There are too many wild boars here," Huang Qi suggested.

"Okay, everyone be careful not to get hurt by the turbid beast. If it gets too bad, everyone retreat," Lu Tianxue said while attacking the wild boar.

Gradually, they were swept further and further away by the wild boar. Shi Jia's eyes widened. "Hey, have you guys forgotten about me?!"

But the wild boar's noise was too loud, and Lu Tianxue and the others were too far away, so no one heard Shi Jia's words.

Lu Tianxue and the others ran for half an hour, panting heavily, and finally escaped the wild boar's pursuit. "Huff~ huff~ is everyone alright?"

"It's nothing!" Cheng Zi shook her head. "My thigh was pierced by a wild boar's tusk. Shi Jia will clean it up and apply medicine later."

"Junior Shi Jia? Huh? Where is he?"

"He's still there!" Dai Yuxuan said anxiously.

Everyone's expression changed. "Why didn't he follow?! What if he was attacked by wild boars...?"

“No, I made him climb the tree!” Lu Tianxue said.

"I'm going to find him!" Dai Yuxuan said, turning to leave.

"Wait, let's go together!"

Meanwhile, Shi Jia watched helplessly as his unreliable teammates escaped, feeling neither anger nor fear, only speechless. They'd probably all forgotten I even existed!
He sighed and summoned the sapling. As soon as the sapling appeared, the frenzied wild boars stopped. Shi Jia quickly chased them away before leisurely climbing down the tree.

Looking at the wild boar carcasses scattered on the ground, he simply took out his paintbrush, touched the boar's forehead, and calmly collected the crystals.

Wow, so many crystals! They'll definitely come back.
