Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Wild Boar Forest

Huang Wen and Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and about a dozen other Bird Beast Soul people flew into the air to survey the nearby situation.

Apart from Huang Wen, the Bird Beast Soul people did not possess significant combat ability for the time being. Their only advantage was the ability to surveil the entire situation from mid-air and to report news in a timely manner, so Yang Xiao still brought ten people out with him.

The suburbs that Wang Le mentioned were at least ten kilometers away from Star City’s urban area; it used to be a riverbank, which was on the other side of a high mountain, with hundreds of acres of woodland.

Walking along the way, the streets were lined with collapsed houses, which were now covered with heavy snow, showing a vast expanse of white. Only the uneven shapes of the rubble arose here and there, with the occasional tall broken buildings stan`ding loftily, telling people that this used to be a bustling city but is now a post-apocalyptic world.

The group quickly moved forward and after several hours, Huang Wen, who was scouting ahead, flew back and landed in front of Yang Xiao.

”Yang Xiao, the woods are not far ahead. Everyone, be careful. I just flew past the edge of the woods and seemed to have heard the sound of wolf howling.”

”Good, you take Qin Yu and the others to look over the woods and see if you can find the main force of the Snow Wolves. If there are too many Snow Wolves, you ten split into three groups, tease the Snow Wolves a bit and see if they will follow you. It’s best to disperse the Snow Wolves, so that we can concentrate our efforts to annihilate them.”

”I suggest not to venture deep into the woods. We should set up an ambush outside. Huang Wen, you should pretend to be wounded, flying up and landing down now and then, so the Snow Wolves think you are an injured bird, a bird person, ...”

Before Xiao Zhe could finish, Huang Wen gave him a blank look,

”You’re the bird person!”

Everyone laughed after she said that.

Yang Xiao felt that Xiao Zhe’s suggestion made sense and the strategy was feasible, so they decided to set up an ambush outside the woods and waited for Huang Wen and others to find the Snow Wolves and then lead some of them back.

Huang Wen nodded, transformed into a Blue Peacock, took off into the sky, and flew towards the distant woods.

Huang Wen rose to mid-air, quickly conferred with Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and the others, and they split into three small groups acting separately, flying close to the treetops in the woods, searching for traces of the Snow Wolves.

”Ow,”

Huang Wen heard the sound of wolves howling from under the woods and hurriedly followed the sound. A few hundred meters away, she saw about a dozen Snow Wolves hunting a wild boar, which was at least about a thousand kilos, with a large stature, black skin all over, and hair as stiff as needles. It had two long tusks half a meter in length, sharp like daggers.

”No wonder these Snow Wolves have gathered inside the woods. So there’s food here.”

Before the apocalypse, the woods were a huge wild boar breeding ground. A local farmer had captured a few wild boars from the mountain and released them for breeding in the artificial woods, housing hundreds of wild boars.

After the apocalypse, the wild boars in the woods also mutated.

The wild boar Huang Wen saw was a mutated one with an extraordinarily large and aggressive form.

The dozen or so Snow Wolves surrounding the huge wild boar seemed hesitant to attack rashly, maintaining a strategy of surrounding without attacking, only occasionally pouncing forward.

As the wild boar turned its head, its long tusks cut through the air, exuding a killing aura, forcing any pouncing Snow Wolf to immediately dodge to avoid being pierced by the wild boar’s tusks.

Faced with this new situation, Huang Wen felt it necessary to immediately inform Yang Xiao, so she asked the other two people to continue monitoring from the air while she flew back to find Yang Xiao.

”What, there’s a huge wild boar in the woods?”

”Yes, at least a thousand kilos or more, with long, sharp tusks, and all the boar’s hair has become as sharp as steel needles, so sharp that even the Snow Wolves dare not attack easily.”

”Good, wild boar meat is a delicacy.”

Zhao Gang smacked his lips.

”Are there any other Snow Wolves around?”

Yang Xiao asked.

”No, I haven’t seen any other Snow Wolves for the time being, only about ten Snow Wolves hunting a wild boar.”

”Right, I suspect the other Snow Wolves have already scattered throughout the woods to hunt wild boars. Now it’s winter, the snow is three meters deep, and food is hard to find. How could the Snow Wolves pass up such delicious wild boars?

Huang Wen, try attacking the Snow Wolves from mid-air and see if you can draw them out of the woods. We will set up an ambush here.”

”What about the wild boar?”

”Don’t worry about the wild boar for now, we’ll deal with it later. Keep it for now, in case we run out of meat later.”

”Alright!”

Huang Wen took flight once again, soaring above the forest canopy and having a brief exchange with her two companions. Then, the three of them launched an attack on the snow wolves in the forest below.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Several feathered arrows were shot towards the snow wolves on the ground.

Huang Wen deliberately refrained from using Fiery Feather Arrows, opting instead for ordinary ones to avoid startling the wolves.

Wolves, being creatures of high intelligence, would prioritize self-preservation and avoid blindly pursuing their prey once they sensed danger.

Thud, thud...

The arrows hit their targets, piercing the wolves’ hides and penetrating about 2 to 3 centimeters deep. Although not fatal, the strikes were decidedly painful.

Howl, howl, howl...

The snow wolves, taken by surprise, let out angry howls.

Huang Wen and her companions deliberately flapped their wings, creating a loud noise.

Looking up, the snow wolves saw the three large birds above the forest and, infuriated, they barked furiously at the sky several times before retreating to continue their encirclement of the wild boar.

Huang Wen and her party launched another volley of arrows before she flew into the forest and descended onto the snow far away.

The snow wolves, frustrated at being unable to tackle the three big birds mid-air, were caught off guard when Huang Wen voluntarily landed on the ground. With a roar, three wolves turned around and pounced towards her.

Huang Wen immediately fled toward the edge of the forest.

Above the forest, her two companions continuously shot arrows at the pursuing wolves, setting up a situation where Huang Wen was luring the wolves into a mid-air attack.

These snow wolves had experienced many battles, and it was not their first encounter with human-bird mutations. They knew Huang Wen was baiting them, but the trio’s attacks were weak and posed little threat, so the wolves boldly leaped forward.

Seeing their three comrades taking off, the remaining seven snow wolves, along with the wild boar—having howled and broken out of the encirclement—realized that capturing the boar for now was hopeless, and they too joined the chase after Huang Wen.

Roars echoed throughout the forest.

Huang Wen escaped the forest and, seeing the snow wolves nearly upon her, hurriedly took to the air. With a few flaps, pretending to be injured, she landed far away.

This emboldened the snow wolves even more, and they charged forward vigorously, completely ignoring the feathered arrows from the other two large birds in the sky.

Minutes later, Huang Wen finally reached the ambush circle where Yang Xiao and the others lay in wait. She fluttered and fell into the snow within the circle.

Roar-

The wolfpack howled triumphantly and surged forward.

Yang Xiao rose from the snow, pointing with his right hand,

One Finger Splitting Earth,

Gigantic spikes emerged from the ground, sending the ten wolves flying into mid-air. One hundred people swiftly encircled the ten snow wolves, and with a barrage of critical hits, they were killed instantly, dropping six Snow Wolf Armors and several genetic disks.

”Find a depression and bury the snow wolves’ bodies in the snow. We’ll come back to transport them later.”

At this moment, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao also flew back.

”Boss, I saw a lot of wolves and huge wild boars in the forest.”

”Me too. The wolves were divided into several small teams, ten in a team, scattering across the forest to hunt wild boars. Those boars are also quite fierce.”

”Did you spot the Wolf King?”

”Not yet. This forest covers several hundred acres; it’s vast. We haven’t flown over many areas, just briefly checked around nearby.”

”Boss, how about we first try to kill a wild boar and see what equipment it might drop?”

Long Yongjun suggested.
