Chapter 146 Rescued
Chapter 146 Rescued
As the dagger pierced the wild boar's eye with lightning precision, its originally ferocious attack on the tree trunk slowed down instantly, and then it broke out into a horrifying, deafening roar.
The sound was filled with endless pain and anger, as if it was going to tear the entire forest apart, making everyone present terrified.
The thing Xiao Guoer was most worried about finally happened.
After a brief struggle and rolling in pain after being injured, the wild boar actually crashed into the tree where Shun'er was again with even greater force!
It's over! Xiao Guo'er felt cold in her heart.
She watched the tree leaning more and more, and it seemed like it might fall down at any moment.
At this moment, Xiao Guoer noticed that the person next to him was slowly crawling down!
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Guoer shouted in horror.
Tang Jingchen's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his teeth tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Didn't they say they would save me?"
Xiao Guoer understood that he was going to put himself in danger and force the three guards to take action!
She couldn't stop him. He and Shun'er were master and servant in name, but after years of living together day after day, they had developed an inseparable bond. If something happened to Shun'er in front of him, or if it was because she had wasted her time protecting him as he climbed the tree, Jingchen would live in guilt for the rest of his life.
If she were facing Yingniang in danger today, she would not be able to stand idly by.
So when she saw Tang Jingchen climbing down the tree in a panic, she could only follow him.
"Why don't you take action? If something happens to Young Master Tang, will the Eighth Prince forgive you?!"
Xiao Guoer slid down in a panic, while shouting and angrily questioning the three guards.
As soon as Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen landed, they saw that the wild boar seemed to sense their presence and location. It stopped attacking Shun'er's tree trunk and rushed towards them aggressively.
Xiao Guoer panicked and pulled Tang Jingchen back desperately. She could clearly hear her heart beating violently due to nervousness and fear.
Seeing this, the three guards had no choice but to jump down from the tree and work together to draw their swords and stab the wild boar.
The wild boar was distracted by the actions of the guards and stopped chasing Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen.
Its huge gray-black body was constantly cut by the long sword through its thick hide, and soon it was covered with deep sword wounds and blood. The angry low roar once again resounded deafeningly throughout the forest, as if even the earth could not help but tremble.
The three guards didn't dare to approach the extremely ferocious beast easily. They could only carefully use their swords to slash it left and right, and then immediately use their lightness skills to quickly escape.
The three of them took turns attacking the wild boar with swords, but the wild boar's skin was very thick. After several attacks, it was still able to rush left and right, and looked more and more angry.
This made the three guards exhausted.
Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen stepped back knowingly, and Shuner took the opportunity to climb under the tree. However, he was too frightened just now, and his hands and feet were weak, and he fell straight down from the branch.
The branch was very high from the ground. Even though there were some dead branches and leaves on the ground, if someone fell from it, he would probably be either killed or injured.
When Tang Jingche saw Shun'er lying there motionless after falling down and without any reaction, he was extremely anxious and immediately rushed over to check the situation.
But when he was halfway through his run, the wild boar unexpectedly ran straight towards him.
Perhaps the wild boar realized that it could not deal with the three agile people, so it changed direction and attacked others.
Everyone was shocked.
When Xiao Guoer saw this scene, she felt that the blood in her body had frozen.
"Jingchen!"
"Master Tang!"
Xiao Guoer and the guards shouted in unison and ran towards the location of Tang Jingchen and the wild boar.
The guards are far away, so even if they have great martial arts skills, it is impossible for them to move here in an instant.
Xiao Guo'er was close by, so she leaped forward into the air and pounced on Tang Jingchen like a nimble kitten, and the two of them rolled to the side.
Just barely brushed past the wild boar.
The next moment, three guards arrived, but the wild boar attacked again.
The guards could only use their swords to scratch the wild boar, but they could not stop the attack of the extremely angry wild boar.
I can only hope to divert its attention again.
However, this time the wild boar seemed to have fallen into a state of madness. It completely ignored the new sword wounds on its body and rushed straight towards Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen.
The two men rolled to the ground, and before they could get up, they watched the wild boar rush towards them again.
It's really over now!
The two held each other's hands tightly, their hearts filled with despair and fear. They both opened their eyes wide, their faces as pale as paper, and quietly waited for death to come.
Suddenly, there was a sharp and piercing sound of wind. A sharp arrow infused with a thousand-pound force cut through the air like lightning, flying towards them from a distance.
The arrow seemed to have eyes and shot right into the wild boar's other eye.
The wild boar was forced back a little by the huge force infused with tremendous internal strength, and then it let out a heart-wrenching, painful roar that resounded through the sky.
The wild boar, with both eyes blind, could no longer see the humans around it, and naturally did not know which direction to attack to vent its anger.
All they could do was roll on the ground, or stand up in pain and rush forward until they hit a tree and stopped, then change direction and continue rushing forward before stopping again.
At this time, the wild boar had many wounds on its body and was bleeding more and more. Soon, the wild boar, exhausted and bleeding too much, collapsed to the ground dying.
Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen escaped death. The fear in their hearts slowly dissipated as the wild boar fell to the ground. After a long time, they supported each other and stood up from the ground.
The two of them looked at the Eighth Prince and his entourage who were slowly walking towards them not far away.
"Thank you, Lord Shen, for saving my life!"
Shen Jing held a bow in his hand, and followed the Eighth Prince slowly and steadily, without looking around, without saying a word. It seemed that he did not care at all about his thrilling act of shooting an arrow through the air from a hundred paces away and saving a man from danger, nor did he care about the two people's thanks at all.
Tang Jingchen stumbled to Shun'er with trembling legs. After a careful examination, he found no wounds or blood on his body or head. He then checked his breath and confirmed that he had just fainted. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The danger was over. Xiao Guoer's legs felt weak and without Tang Jingchen's support, she could only stand with her back against a tree trunk.
After a long pause, he looked up with sudden realization, and as expected, he met a pair of bottomless black eyes.
He had just been looking at her? Why?
Xiao Guo'er's heart trembled, and she exerted a little strength on her legs, stood up straight, and bowed to the man.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life! Thank you, Lord Shen, for saving my life!"
It couldn't be that they were dissatisfied because they thanked Shen Jing but not him?
No one answered. The air was silent, with only the sound of the wild boar's dying gasps.
After a long time, the Eighth Prince finally spoke.
"Everyone get off the mountain."
