Chapter 275
"Get out of the way, beast, get out of here!"
"Whoa, whoa, get lost!"
"If not, I'll kill you. Get out of here!"
A few of the people shouted. They did not know what to do.
Seeing this, Master Xie couldn't help but shake his head. He said, "How could they walk into the forest with no experience,and not know what to do. They are obviously looking for death!"
He continued,"What's more, what they are doing now will only irritate the wild boar even more. If the wild boar rushes over, they won't be able to escape at all."
Fade Chen nodded in agreement with Master Xie. Then, he said faintly, "Please help them drive the wild boar away."
Prior to this incident, Master Xie wouldn't have cared about the ordinary people who were dying. However, since Mr. Chen had asked him to help, Master Xie had to make a move.
After bending down, Master Xie picked up a stone and was ready to flick it toward the wild
boar and scare it away.
But at this moment, the wild boar roared and took two steps forward. Suddenly, a woman in her thirties or forties was shocked, and she screamed.She threw the wooden stick in her hand toward the wild boar.
Although the stick did not hit the wild boar, it did infuriate the boar.
Immediately, the wild boar grunted loudly. Then,it stamped on the ground and rumbled like a tank, rushing toward the people.
Instantly, the sound of shouting turned into screams of terror.
This group of inexperienced men and women turned around immediately and fled. They were still wearing their suits and leather shoes that were inconvenient for movement.This was tragic indeed. At this moment, they were running in the forest area in the mountains,and they couldn't be quick at all.
Some of them lost their shoes as they ran; others were stuck on the branches with ripped clothes. Some of them fell directly to the ground, and many of them had wounds on their bodies. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
The wild boar roared and rushed toward a middle-aged man with a beer belly who was lying on the ground. Its two fangs, like sharp blades, were reaching forward to stab the man mercilessly.
The man's face turned pale suddenly. He had an expression of horror and despair on his face.
But just at this moment, the sound of a "swish" could be heard in the air and a few small pebbles flew swiftly like bullets, hitting the wild boar. It was struck so hard that it suddenly tilted its body and changed its direction. However, it failed to stab the middle-aged man who had fallen on the ground.
The wild boar's attack was blocked, so it let out an enraged roar. It changed its direction and attacked the man again.
"Get lost!" At this time, a shout could be heard, and a gust of air surged up, and a strong wind stirred in the forest.
The strong wind rose up and rushed toward the wild boar, causing it to howl in horror. Then, it turned around immediately and rushed into the woods.
Seeing the wild boar running away, the frightened and scattered men and women heaved a sigh of relief. All of them fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
The pot-bellied man who had fallen to the ground got up and spotted Fade and Master Xie in the dense forest not far away. He immediately shouted, "Thank you for your help."
When the others heard the man's voice, they also got up and walked over to Fade and Master Xie, expressing their gratitude.
Although these people were in such an awkward predicament, there was no danger at this time. Therefore, they recovered their usual demeanor instantly.
After tidying up their clothes, they stood neatly in front of Fade and Master Xie.
After thanking them, the pot-bellied man, who was the leader of this group of people, said with a smile, "Both of you have saved us from this dangerous situation. May I ask what are your names?"
Master Xie said in a deep voice, "My surname is Xie, and this is Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Chen!" The pot-bellied man said, and he looked at Fade and Master Xie. He felt curious about their relationship. By observing the way they interacted with each other, it seemed that this younger Mr. Chen had a higher status than Mr. Xie. But judging from his imposing manner, it seemed that Mr. Xie's social status was higher then Mr. Chen.
These thoughts flashed through his mind but he didn't talk about his opinion. The potbellied man said, "My name is Lager Zu, and I own this resort here. Today, I came to visit the resort with a few friends. On the spur of the moment, I came to the forest to take a look. I didn't expect that I would lose my way and be attacked by wild boars. If Mr. Chen and Mr. Xie didn't help us just now, we would be dead."
"No worries. It's just a small matter!" Master Xie said, and he gestured his hand. He didn't take Lager seriously at all. After all, he had seen more than a hundred bosses like Lager, and they all wanted to flatter him. Therefore, Master Xie didn't care much about Lager.
Lager Zhu, or Chief Zu, observed the two of them. When he saw Master Xie's indifferent attitude, he could not help but feel a jolt in his heart. He immediately asked, "Are the two of you traveling here as well? Why don't you take a rest at my place? Even though the construction of my resort isn't completed yet, we still have sufficient space for you to rest and have fun."
Master Xie glanced at Fade, and he was aware that Fade was not interested in this offer. He said, "No thank you. We still have unfinished business. We shall leave now!"
After that, Master Xie and Fade turned around and walked toward the forest. Although the two of them deliberately controlled their speed, their progress still shocked the group of people in front of them.
"They left so quickly. They are really strong!"
"Many thanks to them for their help. Otherwise, we would be in grave danger just now."
"What are they doing here? This is a remote area. Could they be collecting herbs around here?"
"Maybe! After all, there aren't any famous mountains or rivers around. Also, there are no legends about this area, or rumors of treasures around here. Maybe there are some wild herbs that are valuable."
One of the men there spoke casually, but his words caused Lager's heart to skip a beat. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the direction in which Fade and Master Xie had left. He began to ponder over the situation.
A moment later, Lager's eyes lit up. He took out his cell phone and walked a little slower quietly behind the others. He made a phone call and said, "Secretary Liu, please go to the nearby village immediately and find out if there is anything valuable or anything special around this mountain ridge."
"Also, ask more people to join us here at the mountain ridge. Invite Mr. Wu to come, since he is a master of martial-arts. We may need his help this time."
After finishing the call, Lager cast his eyes at the ridge of the mountain once again, and he looked strangely excited.
At this time, Fade and Master Xie were out of the sight of Lager and the others. They sped up and climbed over the ridge of the mountain. Then, they saw a valley in front of them. At the entrance of the valley was a grassland. There were many stones, branches, and other things at the entrance of the valley. There were also some droppings of birds and beasts. At a glance, it was a place which people rarely visited.
Master Xie pointed to the entrance of the valley and said, "Mr. Chen, this is where I picked up the wooden branches of the Sacred Fig Tree."
Fade looked around the area, and he did not find any trace of the Sacred Fig Tree. Therefore, he looked toward the valley. "Let's go there and take a look!"he said.
Master Xie nodded and followed Fade into the valley.
