A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

"It's too late..."

Gao Yuan's finger slammed heavily on the blueprint, almost piercing through the paper depicting the mining area's structure.

Two meters.

It doesn't sound profound.

But in such torrential rain, the soil was soaked with water and extremely soft. Forget digging with shovels; even a person standing on it would sink in. Large machinery couldn't get in at all; it was all done by hand. Even digging with bare hands could trigger a secondary collapse, burying the rescuers as well!

Time passed, second by second.

Every second, someone could lose their life to the cold mud and water underground.

The air around us was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Those family members who were wailing just moments ago have gradually lost their strength, leaving only desperate sobs and numb eyes.

It’s over.

This was the only thought in everyone's mind.

"Oh no! Human cub, we're really out of options! Heaven is blind!" Little Green's ginseng tendrils raced anxiously through Nuannuan's mind. "I can sense it too, the life force down below is getting weaker and weaker!"

Nuannuan's little fists were clenched so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her flesh.

She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

Dig a hole...we need to dig a hole...

Who can dig a hole?

The little mice knew how to do it, but they were too small; they could only deliver messages.

It needs to be fast! It needs to be strong!

Great strength...

A huge, furry figure appeared in Nuannuan's mind.

It's it!

That wild boar king in the back mountain, which she saved with the water from the spiritual spring!

With a single snout of its big nose, it can uproot a sapling! Its strength is greater than that of the strongest ox in the village!

It's far away here, so we can't call him over, but there should be some in the nearby mountains.

Give them good food, and they will definitely help you.

And there are also! And those little creatures that can drill holes!

pangolin!

Nuannuan's eyes lit up.

She broke free from Gu Xiaoan's hand, ran to Gu Jianguo's feet, and grabbed his trouser leg tightly.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Gu Jianguo was staring blankly into the distance when his daughter tugged at him, bringing him back to his senses.

He looked down and saw his daughter looking up at him with her small face wet with rain, her big, dark eyes shining.

"Little Black!"

Nuannuan raised her head and shouted loudly in her childish voice at the crows circling in the rain.

"Little Black! Quick! Go to the back mountain! Find the Wild Boar King! And the pangolin!"

"Tell them! Nuannuan is inviting them to eat delicious food! Lots and lots of delicious food!"

The clear, childlike voice pierced through the pattering rain and spread throughout the chaotic mining area.

In an instant, everyone stopped moving.

The crying and cursing all disappeared.

Dozens of eyes turned to the little baby standing in the mud, looking up and yelling at a crow.

This child... is he scared out of his wits?

A miner's wife wiped the rain and tears from her face, muttering to herself, "What a tragedy, driving the kids crazy..."

Gu Jianguo was also stunned, and he instinctively wanted to cover his daughter's mouth.

What kind of time is this? How can you be so reckless?

But before his hand could touch Nuannuan, it was stopped by another, stronger hand.

It is high and far.

Gao Yuan walked over at some point, staring intently at Nuan Nuan without looking at anyone else.

His bodyguard leaned closer and whispered, "Captain, this kid..."

"Shut up!" Gao Yuan hissed, his voice low but carrying an undeniable authority. "Don't move! Listen to her!"

The guard was stunned.

Everyone around was stunned.

How could a military captain make everyone listen to a five-year-old toddler?

Gao Yuan offered no explanation.

He had witnessed the miracles that had happened to the child.

From the military trucks inexplicably arriving at the Gu family's house, to that idiot Gu Da'an being able to tinker with sophisticated military parts.

This little girl named Nuannuan possesses a power that cannot be explained by common sense.

Now, all scientific and conventional methods are no longer effective.

He's willing to take the gamble!

I'm betting this little girl can create another miracle!

"Gah—!"

In the sky, Little Black let out a loud cry, responding to Warmth's call. With a flap of its wings, it cut through the rain and flew straight towards the back mountain.

Time stood still at that moment.

Everyone held their breath, watching the crow disappear into the dark forest.

The rain is still falling.

The wind grew colder.

One minute.

Two minutes.

ten minutes.

There was no sound from the mountains and forests.

That nascent, elusive hope quickly cooled down.

"Sigh, it's just a kid messing around..."

"Exactly, the Wild Boar King... Wild boars in the mountains hide from people, they wouldn't come out."

Whispers broke out again among the crowd.

Even Gu Jianguo, who had always chosen to believe his daughter, began to have doubts.

Gao Yuan's expression grew increasingly serious, and he even began to doubt whether his decision had been too impulsive.

Just when everyone's patience was about to run out.

Rumble...

A muffled rumble came faintly from the depths of the distant mountains and forests.

The sound grew closer and louder!

The ground beneath our feet even began to tremble slightly!

"What's going on? It's going to collapse again?!" someone shouted in terror.

"No! The sound is coming from the woods!"

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In the rain-soaked forest, countless trees were shaking violently, and something was rampaging through them!

Immediately afterwards!

"roar--!"

A tremendous roar, filled with primal wildness, suddenly exploded out!

A huge black figure forcefully broke through the rain curtain and the obstruction of branches and leaves!

That's a wild boar!

A gigantic wild boar king, almost the size of a calf! Its entire body was covered in stiff, black bristles!

Its two long fangs gleamed white in the flashlight beam, and its small eyes flashed with a ferocious red light.

Behind it followed several scaly animals that were hunched over and running very fast.

pangolin!

This animal army, led by the king of the forest and guided by Little Black the crow, ignored all the humans around them and headed straight for the mining area with a clear objective!

"Mother! Wild boar!"

"Run! Wild boars are coming down the mountain!"

The scene instantly erupted!

The family members were so frightened that they scrambled backward, and the militiamen and soldiers who were originally responsible for maintaining order were also terrified and turned pale.

Gao Yuan's guards instinctively raised their rifles, the dark muzzles aimed at the charging wild boar king!

"Don't fire!" Gao Yuan pressed down on the muzzle of his gun.

At this critical moment.

Nuannuan moved.

Instead of retreating, she took short strides and charged towards the enormous beast that could easily tear a person apart!

"Nuan Nuan!" Gu Jianguo's heart stopped, and he roared as he chased after her.

But what happened next left everyone frozen in place.

The ferocious wild boar king suddenly stopped a few steps away from Nuannuan. It lowered its massive head, sniffed the air with its nose, and then the ferocity in its blood-red eyes slowly faded.

Nuannuan ran up to it without being afraid at all.

She tiptoed, reached out her little hand, and gently patted its muddy nose.

"Big piggy, you're here."

The wild boar king actually made a coquettish grunt and gently rubbed its big head against the warm little hand.

Everyone was stunned.

What... what's going on here?

Nuannuan ignored the jaws that seemed about to drop around her.

She turned around, pointed her little finger to the marked abandoned vent, and gave the order in the clearest voice possible.

"Big pig, and little pangolins, do you see over there?"

"Dig that hole open!"

The boar king tilted its large head, seemingly trying to understand the command. Could it comprehend the words of a five-year-old child and accurately locate the life-saving vent?
