41: Chapter 41 The Spirit of the Wild Land

At this moment, the Incarnation noticed that the White-haired Boar and its surrounding guards had quietly approached, unbeknownst to them.

It seemed they were looking for an opportunity to break through their formation.

Seeing this, his eyes lit up. Without a word, he raised his Compound Bow and rapidly fired three arrows in succession.

From a distance of thirty or forty meters, given the power of the Incarnation's 120-pound Compound Bow, the arrows pierced straight through the parts they struck.

Several pained howls rang out.

The Incarnation immediately leaped down from the tree, jumped to the side of the Chen Martial Arts Hall's formation, and drew his carry-on mountain-splitting blade. With a casual slash or two, the struck boars suffered wounds deep to the bone at their necks, and large sprays of blood gushed out, splattering the ground.

Ignoring this, the Incarnation burst into speed and rushed toward them.

The leading White-haired Boar had its mouth pierced by an arrow, dripping with blood.

Seeing the Incarnation rushing toward them, moving so fast that he created afterimages, it immediately revealed a look of fear.

It immediately ordered the two boars beside it to charge at the Incarnation, while it exerted all its strength to flee backward.

Facing this situation, the Incarnation gathered his Qi, leaped up, stepped onto the backs of the obstructing boars, and vaulted over them.

Subsequently, he swung his blade twice in rapid succession, knocking the two charging boars away, and pursued the White-haired Boar.

During the chase, he also attempted to use his bow and arrow to shoot, but since both parties were constantly moving, the Precision was truly poor.

Moreover, this boar had learned how to evade; it kept changing direction to dodge these straight-line arrow attacks, avoiding several shots.

As he chased, the Incarnation sighed, "This boar has truly become a spirit, and its speed is surprisingly fast—it has two-thirds of my speed."

The group from Chen Martial Arts Hall only saw an afterimage break through from their position and run off into the distance, chasing a boar.

They had no time to spare to pay attention to what the Incarnation was doing.

Instead, they seized the opportunity that arose because the boar pack had lost its command and was becoming increasingly chaotic.

They slashed continuously until the boars dared not step forward, and more and more boars, unable to withstand such lethality, began to flee.

Chen Martial Arts Hall stopped attacking as well, instead standing in a standoff with those that still wanted to attack but dared not advance.

The two sides stood in a standoff like this, slowly distancing themselves from each other.

On the Incarnation's side, after chasing for a minute or two, he caught up to the White-haired Boar.

After closing in on its body, he exerted all his strength and slashed horizontally, severing one of the boar's front legs.

Immediately, it suffered a heavy blow, tumbled to the ground, and torrents of blood flowed continuously from the wound!

The Incarnation approached, blade in hand.

Seeing the Incarnation walking over, his mountain-splitting blade dripping with blood and gleaming coldly, the boar actually crawled on the ground, revealing a human-like look of begging for mercy, and made whimpering sounds, as if pleading.

Seeing it like this, he felt even more that this boar was not simple. Without further ado, he raised his blade and brought it down, directly severing the boar's head.

"This guy is finally dead."

He let out a soft sigh of relief; it had taken quite a bit of effort to kill this overly clever mutated boar.

He glanced at the situation on the side of Chen Martial Arts Hall; seeing them seize the opportunity of him chasing the boar leader, they should have already broken through.

Knowing they wouldn't die, he didn't bother with them any further and quickly headed toward the boar's lair.

As for the Exploration Team from Chunhe Aluminum Industry, after Captain Zhou Mingyu saw fighting break out on their side.

He immediately led his team to detour from the right, but they didn't expect that there were still over a dozen boars here.

As a result, they were also trapped in the trees, currently in five or six trees at the foot of the mountain on the right.

The people from Chunhe Aluminum Industry relied on these 6 Archers to counterattack against the boars.

Although they were temporarily in no danger because the number of boars was relatively small and they lacked unified command.

It would take a long time to uproot a large tree.

Under the leadership of Ye Xingchen, the 6 of them shot arrows at a steady pace, averaging two or three shots per minute.

"Everyone, try to slow down the firing rate, improve your archery Precision, and maintain your stamina."

Ye Xingchen led the group, controlling the rhythm of the attack well.

However, Captain Zhou Mingyu immediately refused to accept this when he heard these words. He didn't know whether those two teams could really deal with those boars.

He didn't want to gamble and could only rush to get ahead of them as quickly as possible.

Therefore, he immediately urged everyone.

"Everyone, hurry up and shoot, kill them all. Once those two Exploration Teams finish killing all those boars, what gains will we have left?"

However, these Archers didn't move upon hearing his words, but instead looked at Ye Xingchen.

Watching them so blatantly ignore his command, Captain Zhou Mingyu felt extremely angry.

But having been around for many years, he didn't show his emotions on his face and looked at Ye Xingchen.

Put this way, Ye Xingchen also felt that what he said made sense. If they delayed too long here, the subsequent gains would be greatly reduced, and he was counting on harvesting a job-change stone this time.

Therefore, he could only have everyone increase their speed a little, but still maintain a certain time interval to alleviate the soreness in their arms and prevent exhaustion.

Seeing them like this, although Captain Zhou Mingyu was still somewhat dissatisfied with their speed, he didn't say anything.

At this speed, in another ten minutes or so, they should be able to kill or drive away this pack of boars.

Just as both parties were facing the siege of numerous boars.

Chen Yanshan, Liu Tingquan, and Mo Yuemei, the three of them, except for encountering a sporadic one or two stray boars which they dealt with from the trees, had a very calm journey.

Seeing that there were no boars nearby, they knew that the captain had basically attracted all the boars here away.

So they decided to advance quickly! They had to beat the other Exploration Teams and finish collecting the meteorite.

On the Incarnation's side, after arriving at the boar pack's lair, he first observed from the outside.

He confirmed that this place did not seem to have the situation of Heaven and Earth Qi gathering all around, as he had seen last time.

However, after entering the lair and killing a few boars left behind, he keenly observed that in his view, there was a bright yellow Heaven and Earth Qi circulating within this lair.

After confirming there were no other boars around, he immediately refined the Heaven and Earth Qi here into his body; the information he received was—Barbarian Earth Qi.

This was a type of Earth-attribute Heaven and Earth Qi that possessed a sense of wildness and savagery.

In the Incarnation's Dantian, this wisp of bright yellow Barbarian Earth Qi could be seen floating on the surface of the Essence Qi lake, just like a piece of earth-yellow land.

Perhaps this was the reason why that pack of boars, under the leadership of the White-haired Boar, were so fearless of death.

After refining the Heaven and Earth Qi, the Incarnation discovered that Earth Vein Qi was constantly gathering here from underground, though it hadn't synthesized any new Heaven and Earth Qi.

After recording the entire terrain, topography, size, and the flow trajectory of the Heaven and Earth Qi.

The Incarnation began to search around in the boar's lair, and finally found 2 used meteorites and 3 job-change stones, which counted as a relatively good harvest.

After confirming there were no omissions, the Incarnation chased in the direction previously determined by the Exploration Team.
