Huo Feng followed the boy to the foot of a mountain, but Huo Feng noticed that there was no cave entrance in sight, so he looked at the boy with confusion.
The boy smiled mysteriously and walked straight towards a large slab of blue stone at the foot of the mountain. It was then that Huo Feng noticed the peculiar grooves on the stone slab.
The boy stepped up to it and began tracing one of the points in the groove with his finger, moving along the entire pattern. Suddenly, a large stone at the base of the mountain began to move.
Then, the big stone completely opened up to reveal a doorway. At that moment, several burly men at the entrance were panicking, holding knives and swords as they faced outside. Upon seeing the figures at the entrance, the boy immediately jumped up joyfully and shouted, "Dad!"
The people at the entrance also noticed the boy and Huo Feng, realizing there were no terrifying Thorny Earth Demon Boars around. One of the middle-aged men rushed out, picked up the boy in a tight embrace, and cried out in surprise, "Yue Er, where have you been? Your father has been so worried! I thought you were taken by those Thorny Earth Demon Boars..."
He couldn't continue as he held onto the boy tightly. After a moment, the boy wiped away the tears from the man's eyes and said, "Dad, I won't run off again. What happened to our village?"
"Oh! Right! I was hiding in a Rice Jar when I was discovered by a lone Thorned Earth Demon Pig. I thought I was going to die! Luckily, this big brother showed up just in time to save me." Before waiting for the middle-aged man to respond to his question, the boy suddenly remembered Huo Feng and excitedly added.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately set down the boy and bowed deeply to Huo Feng, saying, "Thank you for saving my child."
At this time, others also came out one after another. Seeing that they had all emerged, Huo Feng spoke up: "I come from Thunderstrike City. I'm here to assist you in driving away these Thorny Earth Demon Boars. So please tell me why these Thorned Earth Demon Pigs are attacking you and approximately how many there are."
The people did not answer Huo Feng's question immediately; instead, one of them muttered suddenly, "So young... can he really handle it?"
With Huo Feng's cultivation level, he could easily hear what was said. Hearing this, Huo Feng smiled lightly and replied, "So how can we prove whether I am capable or not?"
Suddenly hearing others doubt Huo Feng, Yue Er became upset and said, "Who says big brother is incapable? I saw with my own eyes that big brother didn't even move and killed that Thorned Earth Demon Pig. Its corpse is still in the village; if you don't believe me, go take a look."
However, the adults clearly did not believe a child's words. One person stepped forward and asked, "Our village doesn't have any powerful individuals, and we don't know how to assess this. Why don't you show us your skills? If I feel reassured, I'll believe you."
Huo Feng smiled helplessly, then turned to look at a nearby dead tree. He thought for a moment, noticing that they all seemed to be at the Connection Realm's first or second stage and did not understand that truly powerful attacks are silent. Without making some noise, he estimated he wouldn't be able to impress them. So, Huo Feng raised his fist and gradually sent it flying toward the dead tree from a distance.
"Nether Break!"
Everyone clearly saw Huo Feng throw a punch, but they also saw countless black fist shadows rushing toward the dead tree, which instantly shattered into countless fragments. This was enough to impress them; after all, they could only break a tree by hitting it directly up close, and it wouldn't shatter as completely as Huo Feng's attack.
After finishing, Huo Feng still looked at them with a smile. One elderly man with gray hair and beard stepped forward. Huo Feng recognized him as someone respected in the village. The man said to Huo Feng, "Brother, you truly are extraordinary! We believe you now. What do we call you? And what do you plan to do?"
Huo Feng had already formed an idea upon seeing the village, so he replied, "My name is Ruofeng. As for what I plan to do, I will need your help."
Upon hearing that Huo Feng needed their assistance, their faces turned pale with fear. Huo Feng guessed they were frightened by the Thorned Earth Demon Pig and explained, "Don't worry! What I need your help with is not dangerous; I just need you to prepare some materials."
After Huo Feng said this, their expressions improved significantly. The Elder Village Chief asked, "What do you need us to prepare? Of course, we will help you; however, please don't go into the village at night because that's when the Thorned Earth Demon Pigs attack; they leave during the day."
Huo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Here's the plan: I want to set traps and mechanisms around the village perimeter. However, I will need everyone's help to gather materials. First, we need to dig a pit about four or five meters deep on the main path where the Thorned Earth Demon Pigs enter the village. Then we will place sharp wooden stakes in the pit and cover them with sulfur powder. For this, I will need the strong men of your village to assist."
"This is no problem! I will gather all the remaining strong men in the village right away; you can coordinate everything," said the Elder Village Chief, feeling more at ease upon hearing this.
A moment later, when the Elder Village Chief gathered everyone together, he looked sorrowful and said, "Right now, there are only about twenty people left in our village who can help; others have either died or been injured."
Huo Feng recalled the blood-soaked ground when he first entered the village, which was indeed shocking. However, this was not the time to be sorrowful. He said, "Everyone listen to me. The Thorned Earth Demon Pig has come for us. If we do not muster the courage to drive them away and kill them, we will never have peace. So let's fight with determination. Trust me, if we unite our efforts, we can completely eliminate and expel them. Do you want your children to live the same life you have?"
Huo Feng's words seemed to awaken everyone. At that moment, the strong men looked at Huo Feng with determination in their eyes. One of them shouted, "Please, brother, help us drive away those evil beasts. Just tell us what we need to do."
"Alright, let me be specific. Since it is already night, everyone should start by cutting down some trees around this cave. Then, cut these trees into stakes about one and a half meters long and sharpen one end of each stake. We should prepare around two hundred of them. I also hope that the other villagers will gather all the sulfur powder from your caves and hand it over to Elder Village Chief for safekeeping. This is what we need to do tonight. Tomorrow, I ask all the strong men to work with me at the village entrance."
Huo Feng laid out his initial plan in one breath. The strong men were filled with confidence and excitement after hearing Huo Feng's words, and they all shouted, "We guarantee to complete the mission."
