Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Just Arrived, Is This a Movie Set?

In the remote, deep forest, no man's land.

A young man crouched on a tree branch while a wild boar below stared at him hungrily.

A drone livestreamed the scene nearby.

The raw, wild force of the deep forest slammed against him.

It was like watching Animal Planet.

A viewer who had just tuned into Xu Yang's livestream curiously asked:

[Just got here. What movie is this?]

Soon, a helpful netizen replied:

[This is a livestream, the host is being chased by a wild boar!]

The livestream's popularity skyrocketed, and the comments kept rolling in.

The viewers watched the livestream intently, afraid to miss any detail.

Xu Yang was crouched in the tree.

Well, other things aside, he had just thrown the bark wrapped around the ginseng on the ground in his rush to climb the tree.

He wouldn't have been able to climb with just one hand.

His backpack was still on his back, all tools still inside.

The wild boar grunted at Xu Yang a few times, clearly, Xu Yang's escape had provoked its aggressiveness.

These creatures are naturally irritable, constantly fighting in the forest, truly troublesome.

Man and boar were at a standoff, and when the wild boar realized it couldn't do anything to Xu Yang, it lowered its front hooves from the tree trunk, preparing to leave.

Xu Yang hoped it would leave soon, all the while praying that the boar wouldn't destroy the hard-earned eighty-year-old Wild Ginseng.

According to Murphy's Law, what you least want to happen often does.

The boar noticed the bark nearby and was about to dig it up with its nose.

Pig noses are very sensitive.

And these creatures are particularly good at finding food; they often dig up juicy roots, destroying the grass in the process.

They eat ginseng too.

By the looks of it, this boar was interested in the ginseng Xu Yang had dug up.

"Hey! Don't touch my ginseng!"

Xu Yang cursed at the wild boar.

The boar paid him no heed, instead continuing towards the bark wrapped around the ginseng.

The viewers watched this scene, their feelings mixed.

Xu Yang had just mentioned that it was an eighty-year-old Wild Ginseng, quite valuable.

It was sad to think it might be eaten by a boar before they could even celebrate.

This was even more heartbreaking than having one's own cabbage uprooted by pigs.

Disaster relies on fortune, and fortune on disaster.

Such is the way of the world, unpredictable.

As the wild boar moved closer to the ginseng, Xu Yang lost his temper.

He took off his backpack and pulled out a stick commonly used for probing the grass.

These sticks are generally solid and sturdy, since they are used for probing and dealing with emergencies and certainly need to be of good quality.

Then, Xu Yang jumped down from the tree and raised the stick to slam it twice on the boar's behind.

"Bang bang!"

The sound echoed from the livestream, making the viewers' eyelids twitch.

Holy crap!

What are you doing?!

Everyone was stunned!

Was the host really that brave?

To actually take on a wild boar in a one-on-one battle?

And to jump down and whack the boar twice while it was distracted by the ginseng?

Everyone's brains were overloaded in that moment.

They hadn't anticipated such a scene.

After taking two hits, the wild boar's attention was immediately drawn to Xu Yang.

It bellowed in rage and turned to charge at Xu Yang.

With two sharp tusks at the corners of its mouth, a goring from this creature could be deadly or cause severe injuries.

Xu Yang, naturally weaker than the boar, ran back to safety, nimbly climbing the tree again.

This time, the boar was really angry. It placed its front hooves on the trunk again, its body facing upwards, bellowing angrily at Xu Yang, and kept trying to climb up.

The sound was hoarse and unpleasant.

Xu Yang was also fired up.

He had initially hoped that man and boar could coexist peacefully, each withdrawing amicably.

The boar not only had its eyes on Xu Yang's ginseng but also fearlessly tried to attack him.

The pig doesn't offend me, I won't offend the pig.

But now, with the boar's face so close, Xu Yang couldn't hold back anymore.

Then, under the shocked gazes of the live stream audience, Xu Yang raised the stick he had been using to search through the grass high in the air and began fiercely beating the approaching boar's face.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Watching a human half-squatting on a tree trunk, hitting the boar's face with a stick, the viewers felt their mouths twitching.

The twitching matched the rhythm of the beating.

The boar was stunned too.

It had thought Xu Yang was just a two-legged beast with no means of resistance, one that it could easily bully.

Little did it know that Xu Yang, from his perch on the tree, would land several hard hits on its face.

Even if the boar's skin was thick, getting hit in the face with a stick still hurt.

It immediately closed its eyes and backed off, no longer daring to rest its front hooves on the tree trunk.

"Come on, you come here again!"

Xu Yang shouted, pointing his stick at the boar.

Feeling the burning pain on its face, the boar didn't linger and turned tail to run.

Until it disappeared from sight.

A typical bully that is cowardly at heart.

Xu Yang watched it leave, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Remembering he was still live streaming, he said to his viewers:

"That was close, I didn't expect to encounter a boar out here."

"It gave me quite a scare."

Upon hearing him say this, the viewers were momentarily at a loss for words.

You got a scare?

Are you sure it wasn't you who gave us a scare just now?

Who would dare to start beating a boar with a stick like you did?

The live stream chat exploded.

Several viewers even sent him Magic Books and sports cars.

There are plenty of big spenders who give gifts when they see an exciting show.

[The host is so fierce! My jaw dropped!]

[Dude, you chased off a boar? Am I seeing this right?]

[Are you sure this isn't a movie? Can this host be so brave?]

[Wild Boar Knight!]

[Ancient human tames wild boar—precious video!]

[Bro, you're too strong! The most authentic outdoor streamer, followed!]

[Hahaha, that boar is so unlucky, got hit about seven or eight times in the face!]

[Host, you're definitely going to be famous!]

The atmosphere in the live stream was incredibly hot.

But Xu Yang didn't care much about that, nor did he watch the comments flying on his live screen; he slung his backpack on, climbed down from the tree, picked up the bark wrapping the ginseng, and walked towards the mountain village.

The deep mountain forest was still too dangerous, better to head back sooner rather than later.

Nowadays, there's nothing new on the Internet.

Too many marketers are always searching for jokes online to attract traffic, and as soon as one marketer posts a video, others immediately copy it.

Xu Yang's video was exactly what the people liked to see.

Thus, very quickly, his live streaming clip was edited and posted by marketers.

#VillageLadBattlesWildBoar#

#MiningGinsengInMountainsEncountersWildBoar#

#StreamerFightsWildBoar#

Several marketers posted Xu Yang's video, attracting a high number of viewers.

The video segment ran from when the boar chased Xu Yang till he drove it away.

The viewers couldn't help but laugh uproariously at the scene.

"Is this a streamer? He's so composed, I want a chat!"

"Hahaha, this guy is fierce, going straight for the boar's face!"

"So brave!"

"He's quite handsome, does anyone have his account, can someone tag the original poster?"

"Such a quick tree-climbing speed, this guy's a pro!"

"A Wild Boar Knight indeed."

The appearance of the boar had indeed made Xu Yang a bit of a sensation.
