Leisurely mountain village

When I got home, lunch was served. "We're going to work in the vegetable garden this afternoon, so don't wander off," my mom said.

"I'll go into the mountains first to check on the orchard, and then see what's going on inside." Ye Huan disagreed.

"It just rained, it's dangerous in the mountains," Dad said.

"It's alright, I'll take Disco and Saihu with me to check on the situation." Ye Huan shoveled rice into his mouth, while Disco and Saihu devoured a bowl of rice with meat in a flash.

"Be quiet and well-behaved, stay home and watch TV with your great-grandfather."

"Okay~"

Ye Huan changed into a camouflage outfit, then put on high-top leather boots and leg wraps. His grandfather personally helped him put on his hat and told him to be careful.

Ye Huan had two daggers stuck in the side of his leather boots, which were his grandfather's old ones. He carried a specially made giant machete in his hand, and used a water bottle and backpack as cover. Wild Wolf Disco and Saihu followed him as they set off.

Although Xiaobai has grown a bit in the space, it's still not suitable for going into the mountains in this environment, so Ye Huan left it at home to play with Jingjing.

Upon entering the back mountain, Ye Huan stored the excess items into his spatial storage. Then, the man, the wolf, and the dog quickly traversed the forest, and Ye Huan unleashed his full speed.

He didn't expect that when he let loose, he would lose track of Disco and Saihu. Their speed was too fast, especially since they were in the forest.

After waiting for a while, Disco and Saihu arrived, looking at him like he was livestock.

Ye Huan wanted to test his abilities after reaching level five. Seeing a tree branch about two meters off the ground, he gathered his energy, pushed off the ground with both feet, and then, to his disbelief, jumped onto the branch.

He stood on the tree branch, stunned. "Holy crap, am I that awesome now? I've only just started learning lightness skill! And I'm already like this?"

He was bewildered as well.

Having finally accepted the fact that he had become stronger, he jumped down from the tree branch and, with a wolf and a dog, continued forward. This time he didn't run away, as he was no longer near the mountains. So he began to scan his surroundings, and when he saw any unfamiliar saplings or similar things, he pulled them up and threw them into his spatial storage.

I collected everything along the way, including fungi, which are also plants. I didn't care, I just threw them all into my space and figured I could plant one of each kind later.

Ye Huan was all too familiar with the "grunt-and-puff" sound. "Disco, get ready, wild boar!"

He stopped looking for plants, drew his machete, and followed the sound. The wolf Disco entered hunting mode, and Saihu followed it slowly.

Ye Huan jumped onto a big tree and saw a puddle with a huge wild boar, two terrifying tusks, a much smaller wild boar, and three smaller wild boars, rolling around in the mud.

Perhaps it heard something, or perhaps it was the wild boar's sixth sense, but that enormous wild boar, which Ye Huan estimated to weigh over 700 pounds, suddenly stopped rolling, stood up, and then charged towards the direction of the wild wolves.

The wolf was quite the expert; it could tell from the situation that the wild boar had spotted it, so it stopped sneaking around and led Saihu out of the woods to the edge of the waterhole.

About 200 meters away, Ye Huan stood on a tree, waiting to assess the situation first. He knew that if a real fight broke out, Wild Wolf and Saihu would be no match for this guy; he was too big.

If he hadn't leveled up and tested his strength, he wouldn't have dared to come over. He would have turned and run away as soon as he saw this guy.

This kind of wild boar is a tough nut to crack, daring to go toe-to-toe with wild bears and tigers. Ordinary people really wouldn't dare to mess with it.

Ye Huan had originally thought that the family was having a good time and that they would say goodbye and go their separate ways. However, he did not expect that the guy would suddenly launch a deadly charge at the wolf and the tiger.

Perhaps feeling that these two were no match for it, or perhaps wanting to show off its macho prowess in front of the sow, it charged forward.

Saihu and Disco started running in circles around the puddle. The wild boar was too big and couldn't match the agility of Disco and Saihu. When the charge ended, it found that the enemy was gone. When it turned around, it found that Disco and Saihu had run to the other side and were looking at it across its family.

The wolf Disco was quite wild, and it was annoyed that this guy had chased it for no reason. So it charged at the wild boar piglets. The sow screamed and protected her piglets, and everyone else got anxious.

Huffing and puffing, it charged at the wolf again. Disco playfully slapped the sow on the head, then turned around and started running in circles again.

The wild boar stopped in front of its family. It realized it couldn't catch the two piglets, and the three cubs were its Achilles' heel. So it reluctantly gave in.

As they were preparing to leave with their families, Ye Huan leaped down from the tree. "Just leaving like that? Aren't you going to apologize?" He pointed his huge machete at the wild boar.

The beast-taming skill made the wild boar probably, maybe, possibly understand what he meant. It grunted and squealed. Ye Huan understood. It meant, "You weren't hurt, so don't try to extort money from the boar."

"I don't care, you chased my pet twice, you have to pay compensation," Ye Huan said, suppressing a laugh.

"Huff, huff..." The wild boar wanted nothing more than to ram the two-legged creature to death, but it wasn't stupid. It sensed danger and, relying on its strange sixth sense, the creature had escaped death many times.

"Alright, I'll go see what it is. If it's valuable, we'll call it even. If it's nothing good, well, I don't mind setting up a fire to stew pork in it," Ye Huan said with a smile.

"Huff, huff." The wild boar was also quite helpless. If it weren't for that strange feeling, you'd be doomed if I didn't pick you up. Come on, I'll take you to see the treasure.

Ye Huan smiled and followed the wild boar. Wild wolves Disco and Saihu looked at their master strangely, and then followed.

We arrived near a valley, which was probably the wild boar's home. There were many puddles inside, filled up by the recent torrential rain.

The wild boar didn't go inside. Instead, it led Ye Huan to a sheltered spot not far away and started rooting around. To Ye Huan's surprise, he found a few leaves.

"Haha~ Okay, we're even now, let's forget about today." He immediately went over, touching the leaves with his fingers, and laughed very happily.

The wild boar grunted twice, and Ye Huan waved his hand, "Alright, we're friends from now on. I'll accept this gift; it's compensation you offered to give me."

The wild boar then led its family away. "Hmph, that good stuff," it thought, "I should have eaten it. Now it's gone."

Ye Huan was very familiar with this leaf. When he was a child, he followed his grandfather and saw his grandfather dig it up. Later, when he came back, he dug up quite a few himself. Now he still has many leaves that are several years old or more than ten years old in his space.
