The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Just as they approached the edge of the forest, a burst of gunfire, mixed with screams, suddenly came from their left.

The laughter and chatter of the group of five abruptly ceased, and they all looked around warily.

Li Yong's face showed worry:

"The gunshots weren't far away, and they sounded like they came from our village. I have to go check it out. What do you guys say?"

Li Kaixin and the other three nodded without hesitation.

They all knew that as the village chief's grandson, Li Yong had no reason not to rescue a fellow villager who might be in danger.

The five men immediately unloaded their prey and ran quickly toward the direction from which the gunshot rang out.

A short while later, Li Yong and his companions witnessed a horrifying scene.

In the distance, a dozen wild boars surrounded the four people, and the carcasses of three or four wild boars lay around them.

Li Yong and the others didn't dare to delay and immediately quickened their pace.

The side surrounded by wild boars.

One of the younger team members, his hand trembling as he held his gun, spoke in a trembling voice to the middle-aged man beside him:

"Uncle Qiang, are we going to die here today?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The middle-aged man, addressed as Uncle Qiang, tried to remain calm and comforted him:

"We're already close to the outskirts; the villagers coming down the mountain will definitely hear the commotion. If we hold on, there's hope!"

But only he knew in his heart that most people were probably still deep in the mountains.

The one who was most seriously injured among the four spoke up at this moment, his breathing weak:

"Uncle Qiang, you guys...you guys should find a chance to run! I...I'll cover your retreat, I can't escape anyway."

"What kind of talk is that!"

Uncle Qiang immediately interrupted him, his tone resolute:

"If I, as the team leader, abandon you and run away, how can I ever face anyone again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wild boar herd became agitated again, lowering their heads and charging forward.

Seeing the approaching wild boar, the four men immediately raised their guns and fired.

But wild boars have thick skin and tough flesh, so a single shot from a hunting rifle won't kill them.

As the wild boar charged closer, the four gradually grew desperate.

Just at this critical moment, several gunshots rang out from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the wild boars that were about to pounce on them fell to the ground.

The one who fired the shot was none other than Li Kaixin, who was only ten or twenty meters away from the encirclement.

After getting a clear look at the four people from a distance, he immediately sprinted at full speed, leaving Li Yong and the others far behind.

Indeed, Li Kaixin recognized them. The middle-aged man called Uncle Qiang was Li Qiang, the militia captain and a close elder of his.

The four surrounded men looked at the fallen wild boar and their faces lit up with ecstasy.

They knew someone had come to rescue them.

But they didn't notice that a particularly large wild boar had silently rushed up to them from their side and behind.

"Watch out behind you!" Li Kaixin shouted urgently, quickening his pace even further.

Hearing the shout, the four instinctively turned their heads and saw that the enormous creature, weighing over 300 kilograms, had already rushed to within two or three meters of them.

It was too late to hide.

Just before the wild boar was about to collide with him, Li Kaixin finally arrived and forcefully rammed the boar's side.

A muffled thud.

He forcefully knocked the ferocious wild boar to the ground!

It was fortunate that the attack came from the side; if it had been a head-on confrontation, Li Kaixin wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

When the four of them saw this, they gaped open, speechless with astonishment.

Li Kaixin pulled out his knife and swiftly finished off the wild boar.

He then turned to look at Li Qiang, a hint of mockery on his face:

"Uncle Qiang, you've made quite a mess of things!"

Li Qiang was even more surprised to see him:

"Happy, it's you? Where are Xiaoyong and Xiaowei?"

"They're right behind us, let's deal with the immediate problem first!"

As Li Kaixin spoke, he turned around, raised his gun, and aimed it at the remaining wild boar herd.

Li Qiang understood that now was not the time to talk, so he immediately perked up and picked up his gun again.

Apart from the three wild boars that Li Kaixin had just taken down, there were still seven or eight wild boars alive on the scene.

Li Kaixin ignored whether they charged again and opened fire, aiming the gun specifically at the wild boar's eyes.

That's exactly why he was able to kill him with a single blow.

After a few gunshots, two more wild boars fell down, howling in pain.

Seeing this, Li Qiang and the other three were greatly encouraged and also took aim and fired.

The remaining wild boars finally lost their composure, no longer charging recklessly, but began to pace restlessly, and their offensive momentum was forcefully suppressed.

At the same time, Li Yong and his three companions also caught up from where Li Kaixin had just been and joined the battle.

As the gunfire subsided, the last few wild boars were killed by the group.

Seeing all the wild boars lying on the ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, the most seriously injured person swayed and fell backward.

Li Kaixin reacted quickly, rushing forward to support him.

Before Li Qiang's face could even light up with joy, upon seeing this, he immediately rushed over and anxiously called out:

"Full position! Full position! How's it going for you?"

The others also gathered around, their smiles turning into panic as they were about to speak.

Li Kaixin's calm voice interrupted them: "Don't panic, I know a little about medicine, let me take a look first."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and nervously watched Li Kaixin's actions.

Li Kaixin laid the person flat on the ground, carefully examined the wound, and then reached out to check the pulse.

After examining it carefully, I had a better understanding of the situation.

He took out a wound medicine and a needle kit from his pocket, carefully applied the medicine to the wound, and then took out several silver needles, skillfully inserting them into several acupoints.

After doing all this, Li Kaixin slowly stood up.

Li Qiang quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously:

"Kaixin, how is Mancang doing?"

The others also gathered around, their faces full of worry.

"It's nothing serious, just a bit of blood loss and you're weak. You'll recover after a period of rest at home."

Li Kaixin comforted her in a calm tone.

After hearing this, everyone finally relaxed completely.

Li Kaixin then remembered his earlier question and looked at Li Qiang to ask:

"By the way, Uncle Qiang, how did you get surrounded by a herd of wild boars?"

Before Li Qiang could speak, the young villager's face showed remorse, and he whispered:

"It's all my fault. I saw this group of wild boars fighting with two bears, and thinking it was a rare opportunity, I fired my gun, hoping to take advantage of the situation."

"I never expected to attract all the wild boars."

"What about the bear?"

Li Kaixin's heart tightened, and she immediately pressed for answers, her eyes scanning the surrounding woods warily.

A young villager said uncertainly, "They...they must have run away, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kaixin's gaze swept past the crowd and landed in the woods not far away.

There, two enormous brown bears were silently watching this side.
