Chapter 100: Too Much of a Coincidence
Translator: YHHH Editor: Book_Hoarder
Just when Ren Baqian was hesitating whether he should jump off the tree and run in another direction or wait to out and test his luck, Ning Caichen spotted the carcasses of the babeasts on the empty ground. Then, he raised his head and looked all over the place. Following which, his eyes suddenly lit up as he waved his hands vigorously at Ren Baqian.
Nevertheless, Ren Baqian's position was easily spotted.
"Wave your arse," Ren Baqian cursed in his heart. He turned to the side and pointed his finger that way. At the sa ti, he aid the crossbow at Ning Caichen.
His intention was clear; you run that way, don't implicate .
Ning Caichen knew how to play the ga as well. Seeing Ren Baqian's hand gestures, he shouted, "Ah! Save !" all the way. He made a turn and passed through sowhere near the side of the tree that Ren Baqian was taking refuge at.
The bulldozer-like wild boar ran towards that direction and narrowly missed his tree.
"Hu!" Ren Baqian let out a lengthy breath. Fortunately, Ning Caichen did not drag him down. Otherwise, he would have to raise his hands and shoot an arrow towards him.
Such a huge wild boar would definitely be proclaid as the hegemon of the woods.
"Ning Caichen, you are considered loyal this ti. I will burn incense for you, rest in peace." Ren Baqian sincerely expressed his gratitude.
After waiting for Ning Caichen and the wild boar's movent to be undetectable, Ren Baqian continued to sit on the tree. This tree was the most suitable option in the vicinity.
Since the wild boar had been lured away, he didn't have the need to change location anymore.
After a short while, a few silhouettes started to erge in the surroundings. They were all living creatures which were similar to foxes. They greedily looked at the babeasts' carcasses but did not rapidly rush over. On the contrary, they circled about the carcasses incessantly, as if they were trying to detect if there was any danger.
"These stuff are not prepared for you guys," Ren Baqian said softly and shot an arrow towards one of the foxes. However, it deviated a little and that fox imdiately got a shock. Its entire body of fur stood up at once. After circling one round and looking everywhere, it changed its direction and entered the forest.
The other foxes continued to walk about in the surroundings. They were reluctant to leave yet did not dare to approach the carcasses.
Once again, Ren Baqian shot an arrow which hit one of the foxes. The rest of the foxes imdiately turned around, ran into the forest, and disappeared without a trace.
After completing this task, Ren Baqian continued to wait. As he had nothing to do, he examined his waist bag once again and found a plastic bottle from within. He then recalled that he had brought along anesthetic. As he had all along been situated in nervous situations then, he had long forgotten about this matter.
However, it would definitely not be an easy task to sedate such a huge wild boar with the anesthetic.
But, he still imrsed the tip of the arrow into the bottle and only took it out after 10 seconds.
Ren Baqian waited for quite so ti again. All of a sudden, he heard bits and pieces of footstep sounds. He turned his head towards the direction of the sound and to his surprise, the sound was made by that fellow, Ning Caichen. The wild boar that had been running behind him was nowhere to be seen anymore.
Ning Caichen climbed the tree with ease and his actions were very precise. It seed that he often climbed trees and took birds' eggs out of their nests. The filthy Ning Caichen climbed up the tree and sat beside Ren Baqian. He wiped the perspiration on his forehead and said, "I was really scared to death just now. I was almost overtaken by the wild boar but luckily, I ran quickly enough."
"You actually shook the wild boar off? How did you provoke it?" Ren Baqian asked. As long as Ning Caichen got rid of the wild boar, he didn't mind having company. In fact, it was rather boring for one person to stay on the tree.
Upon hearing Ren Baqian's question, Ning Caichen's revealed a puzzled look on his face, "I'm not sure either. I was walking in the woods when that chap dashed towards all of a sudden. It was as if he wanted to seek revenge. But, thank goodness that I managed to get rid of it."
"You are all alone?" Ren Baqian questioned him again.
"Knowledge cos from books and experience of the world. I have heard that the wild beasts in Dayao's woods are different from those in Great Xia. As such, I am here to take a look without any thoughts on the reward." Ning Caichen revealed an embarrassed smile.
This Ning Caichen was a travel enthusiast. From this point, it could be seen that he was pretty courageous.
"Stay here for a while then. It is definitely safer than being on the ground," Ren Baqian said. After he finished his sentence, he pricked up his ears to listen, "Did you hear any sound?"
Ning Caichen listened attentively. Soon after, his vision froze.
"Bang!" Both parties heard the sounds of trees being smashed coming from afar. Soon after, they saw an enormous silhouette. After taking a few sniffs on the ground, it raised its head and looked towards Ren Baqian's and Ning Caichen's direction with fixed eyes. Then, it imdiately charged forward at them.
"To hell with you," Ren Baqian cussed. He wasn't sure if he was scolding Ning Caichen or the wild boar. He imdiately jumped down, rolled over and broke into a run utilizing every bit of energy that he had.
"It is chasing you, distance yourself away from ." Ren Baqian didn't forget to shout out. He imdiately made his way into the woods and ran
His lungs were heated up, and he slowly recovered as he walked.
Ren Baqian didn't want to know why the wild boar had targeted Ning Caichen. He only wanted to find a suitable tree and climb up to rest.
Regardless of the case, it was definitely safer to be on a tree than being on the ground.
Ren Baqian felt that he was getting more and more lethargic. At the mont, he was running uphill, and running itself was already tiring. The crisis was temporarily lifted and that wild boar chased after Ning Caichen to an unknown destination. Only then did Ren Baqian stop running and leaned to rest on a tree.
"Oh, isn't this Deputy Ren?"
Ren Baqian's footsteps ca to a halt. Just when he leaned on a tree, he saw two people erging from behind the tree ahead.
Ren Baqian found this voice familiar. He raised his head to take a look and he actually recognized this person. It was Lian Baocheng, that crazy second-generation fellow who was wearing a gown made of brocade. In front of him was the guard who at that ti, obstructed Mister Emptiness's blood arrow from hitting Lian Baocheng.
"Such a f**king coincidence." Ren Baqian did not reply in a good tone, and he was starting to get worried.
It was such a coincidence that he actually t two groups of people in such huge woods. He wondered if he was just plain unlucky.
Ren Baqian didn't know what happened to Ning Caichen. But, to bump into Lian Baocheng after bumping into Ning Caichen consecutively, it simply couldn't be a coincidence anymore.
He actually t the two groups of them in such enormous woods?
Previously, he was fine when he hid alone on the tree. In the end, after eting Ning Caichen that unlucky fellow, he t Lian Baocheng in the vicinity. Ren Baqian ultimately felt that this could not be just a simple coincidence.
Whether it was coincidence or not, this thought could be put at the back of his mind for now. Ren Baqian knew that he was no match for the guard who was right in front of him.
At that ti, the speed of the mouthful of blood arrow from Mister Emptiness wasn't considered any slower than an arrow shot from a cross both. But, the guard was able to obstruct the blood arrow from hitting Lian Baocheng at the very last minute.
He could see the guard's capability just from this.
"Indeed sowhat coincidental. eting Deputy Ren in this desolate area outside of the city truly makes elated." Lian Baocheng harbored malicious intentions.
Naturally, Ren Baqian knew that he had really offended him. An evil intention imdiately erupted in his heart upon hearing Lian Baocheng's words.
While he was breathing heavily to restore his physical strength, he aid the crossbow at the other party at the sa ti. "You miss this much? What do you miss about ? Tell and I'll listen."
Lian Baocheng's gaze shifted in all directions. He cautiously looked at the surroundings and then smiled at Ren Baqian. "Of course I want you to die."
"Her Majesty is at the bottom of the mountain. Do you dare to touch ?" Ren Baqian asked coldly.
"Anything that happens in the woods cannot be predicted. It won't unexpected if you die over here. So long as we randomly dig a pit, your corpse will not be found. Who knows how you died?" Lian Baocheng was distorted with madness. "I have not been so disgraced by soone else in my lifeti. I wouldn't have any good opportunites if you continued to stay on at Lan City.
Since you are already here, you can't put the bla on others. You can only bla yourself for not understanding life and death."
Once Lian Baocheng finished speaking, that guard held the knife in his hand headed towards Ren Baqian step by step.
