PCJ – Chapter 223 Catching a Group of Boar Litters

Now Zhang Jiaohua finally somewhat understood that the twenty-four mountain dogs could indeed be called mountain-sweeping dogs. If he really had twenty-four authentic Meishan mountain dogs and placed them in Meishan, it would indeed have the momentum to sweep the entire mountain. What wild beast would dare to block their way? Adding Zuan Shanbao, there were only sixteen mountain dogs now, and those fifteen were not true Meishan mountain dogs. As for the color requirements of the twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs, Zhang Jiaohua could only ignore it for now; he simply didn’t have the conditions to select dogs based on their coat color. Perhaps in the future, when conditions allowed, he could recreate the twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs as described by the ancestors. But from the current situation, the conditions were not met. Because, let alone finding Meishan mountain dogs of various colors, even finding purebred Meishan mountain dogs regardless of color was not an easy task.

What Zhang Jiaohua didn’t know was that, far away on a mountain peak, the alpha wolf was standing on a huge rock, staring at the forest where Zhang Jiaohua was. Zhang Jiaohua’s high-profile entry into the mountain this time was like a slap in its face. However, it was very familiar with the aura on Zhang Jiaohua. The aura of the Meishan water master made it very fearful. Zhang Jiaohua was even more frightening to it than the water master who had negotiated with it before, not because Zhang Jiaohua’s skill was higher, but because Zhang Jiaohua was growing too fast. The last time, Zhang Jiaohua had barely escaped, but now he entered the mountain again with such a grand momentum.

The alpha wolf had no intention of teaching Zhang Jiaohua a lesson; Meishan was big enough to accommodate both the wolf pack and a new water master. Moreover, it felt a sense of danger from Zhang Jiaohua. This was a strange feeling, a premonition that had allowed the alpha wolf to survive various harsh conditions and become the leader of the pack.

Zhang Jiaohua did not realize that he was being watched by the alpha wolf. The feeling of rampaging through Meishan excited him. After all, he was still a child at heart, not considering the consequences at all.

The mountain dogs quickly found their target: six wild boar litters scared and scattered by the barking, surrounded by fifteen mountain dogs. Wild boars, when frightened, run around wildly, and this mad running has become their style and nature.

The boar litters, each weighing about a dozen pounds, were round and fat, mimicking their ancestors’ wild charging, trying to break through the dogs’ blockade. But in front of the mountain dogs, which were more than three times their weight and far stronger, they were like repeatedly hitting a wall. The mountain dogs’ blockade was a hunt, not a feast; they didn’t hold back when biting. Their sharp teeth left marks all over the boar litters, making them squeal incessantly. If Zhang Jiaohua hadn’t insisted on capturing them alive, these boar litters would have been torn apart by the dogs long ago.

The six boar litters huddled together, too scared to run anymore, trembling all over. Zhang Jiaohua quickly put the wounded boar litters into a burlap sack, worried they might not survive given their severe injuries. The wild sow was likely very protective, but this time, it might have been so frightened by the loud commotion of fifteen mountain dogs that it lost six boar litters in the chaos.

Otherwise, if they had faced the sow directly, it would have been a tough battle. A frenzied sow is terrifying.

The pig farm had about twenty pigsties, and six boar litters were not enough to satisfy Zhang Jiaohua. The fifteen mountain dogs were sent out again to search the mountain. The violent barking once again echoed through Meishan.

Chen Fangsong, hunting in the mountains, heard the barking and ran out in a panic. “What’s happening? Why are there so many mountain dogs in Meishan all of a sudden? What’s going on? All the wild animals in the mountain are in chaos, Meishan is in an uproar. Who dared to do this? Could it be Jiaohua?”

The only person around Meishan with so many mountain dogs was Zhang Jiaohua. Chen Fangsong had heard about Zhang Jiaohua wanting to raise twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs. Chen Fangsong naturally had heard of the twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs, but that was a legend. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiaohua, this little brat, took it seriously. When he first heard that Zhang Jiaohua spent twenty yuan per dog to buy mountain dogs, claiming to train twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs, Chen Fangsong found it amusing. But now, Chen Fangsong couldn’t laugh anymore. These were real mountain dogs, and the twenty-four mountain-sweeping dogs were not just a legend.

Chen Fangsong ran out of Meishan, discovering his hunting dogs trembling in fear. In front of real Meishan mountain dogs, his proud hunting dogs were cowards.

“What kind of monster will Jiaohua become in the future?”

Chen Fangsong sighed, taking his two hunting dogs home empty-handed. Usually, hunters never return empty-handed, but today he made an exception. Meishan was dangerous at that moment. Such a commotion could attract the wolf pack, and that alpha wolf was no joke.

Zhang Jiaohua had no scruples and wasn’t afraid of attracting the alpha wolf. At this time, the fifteen mountain dogs, led by Zuan Shanbao, had trapped a pair of adult wild boars and a group of boar litters. The pair consisted of a male and a female. The male was very large, not as big as the one Zhang Jiaohua had found last time, but still at least three hundred pounds, with tusks like sharp knives and blood-red eyes, seemingly ready to devour the dogs. The sow desperately protected the boar litters, occasionally lunging at the harassing dogs. If not for protecting the boar litters, the wild boar couple could have broken through.

It was clear that without taking down the wild boar couple, capturing the boar litters was impossible. However, Zhang Jiaohua didn’t want to kill the wild boar couple; he sympathized with them. If he could take them back too, it would be perfect. He was worried about raising so many boar litters; having the sow would be much better.

With a quick thought, Zhang Jiaohua began to chant a spell, “Great Jade Emperor of the Highest Heaven, cut off the path to heaven, the gate to earth, the road for humans, the gate for ghosts, the path for plagues, the road for evil spirits, the path for disasters and five temple gods, the road for sorcerers and evil cults, and the path for my master… Step into the net of heaven and earth without mercy, I call upon the Six Stars of the South Dipper, the Seven Stars of the North Dipper, I invoke the Supreme Lord Laozi, obey my command!”

Pointing at the wild boar couple, Zhang Jiaohua cast a spell, forming a magical net that enveloped the wild boar couple and the boar litters. The once fierce wild boar couple became docile, lying on the ground like domestic pigs.

The alpha wolf, watching from afar, was shocked by Zhang Jiaohua’s move. This spell terrified it. If it were caught in this net, what would happen?

With a long howl, the alpha wolf turned and ran deeper into Meishan.
