The Jungle Prince's Demeanor

  Looking at the wild boar that was being strangled by the vines and struggling with all its might, Bai Huan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  As a druid who pursues harmony with nature, I often find myself at odds with animals, speaking in steel and blood. Alas, my heart was meant to be as bright as the moon, but the moon has turned its back on me.

  Alas...

  Shaking his head, Bai Huan carefully tapped the green-haired corn twice with his toes, and it was really settled.

  The entwined vines, as expected, couldn't be pulled apart by brute force alone. Without the space and distance to exert force, even if this wild boar's strength were doubled, it still couldn't defy fate.

  Wait a minute, what's with this "kǒu yá"? Bai Huang was stunned for a moment, but then gave up the idea of inquiring further.

  Since wild boars have completely lost their ability to resist...

  Bai Guang looked at the wild boar with great regret, his face full of deep meaning, as if to say: after reincarnation, come back and try again, next life, don't be so stupid again.

  Then?

  Then he cut down cleanly and neatly.

  The wild boar's body was covered in a mixture of lard and mud from its neck to its hindquarters, forming an armor-like shell, but there was no such hard shell on its neck. With the Khukuri dog-leg knife's unique shape designed specifically for chopping, and with a 35ATCJ hardness level of up to 60 degrees, the blade directly entered the meat three inches deep! In just the blink of an eye, a wedge-shaped gash appeared on the wild boar's neck.

  A sudden burst of blood, under the pressure of a large internal cavity, like an exploding underground pipeline, sprays out a radiating mist of blood.

  "Ahh——"

  The wild boar only felt a fiery pain coming, and its brain hadn't given any orders yet, but its consciousness had already become blurred. Even the last cry of despair in its life was cut off halfway due to the leakage of air from its trachea.

  But isn't it just a little bit imperfect?

  It is said that the men of Gurkha can cut off the head of a water buffalo with one knife, which is also considered a sign of their adulthood. Compared to these natural-born knife masters, Bai Guang felt that he was inferior by more than just a little bit.

  But it's finally settled with this beast.

  It wasn't until now that Bai Huan finally relaxed, and the result of exhausting his physical and mental strength was that from head to toe, from brain to skin, every inch of his body hurt!

  "Hiss!"

  He let out a cold breath, and his body went limp as he lay down in the thicket of vines. Next to him was a wild boar with dull, dim eyes. From a certain angle, the scene looked quite beastly.

  But he couldn't care about these now, the most urgent problem was to hurry up and recover his strength, then find Zhou Xueyuan and the others, and get them out of the mountain.

  After all, I have received a salary from someone else's boss, and my service attitude must be correct.

  But just as Bai Huan began to adjust his breath, a warm current surged out of his body, instantly dispelling the chill brought by the storm. In his consciousness, a new piece of information also appeared at the same time - he had gained an additional ability for silent communication.

  What's up with that? Isn't it just a wild communication version of plants? Can't this stupid ability be upgraded to a 2-in-1 strong version, directly having natural communication not being good enough?

  Bai Huan complained with disdain on one hand, while carefully experiencing the new ability he had just obtained, exploring why there must be a distinction between animals and plants.

  But soon he discovered the problem - the vigorous power inside his body, it seemed that there were originally two forms of fusion and separation. Although both could make people feel full of vitality and prosperity, one was filled with wild and untamed energy; the other was relatively peaceful, a quiet and extreme power.

  Does every battle bring some progress? This profession is not harmonious at all!

  As for the true nature of Druids, Bai Huan is still in a state of half-understanding, so he has become quite subjective and started to doubt the teachings of this profession.

  After being nourished by the power of nature, after a short rest of more than ten minutes, and after sleeping soundly for almost an hour, Bai Huan hurriedly got up. But just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of the wild boar in the thicket again, and couldn't help but feel a deep pain, his eyebrows even twisted together.

  Wild boar meat is nothing special, anyway Bai Huan has been eating it since childhood and got tired of it.

  Inside the pig's stomach, there is something called "baicao nang", which is actually the pig's stomach lining. If you don't take it out, it would be a waste! After taking it out, bring it back to grandma and simmer it into a soup, it's 100 times more effective than any health supplement on the market.

  Forget it, let's first settle Zhou Chuyu and his men down, then come back for it later.

  ……

  When Bai Huan was running around with his head covered, he didn't feel like he had run very far. However, after walking back and forth, he realized that this road was actually quite long.

  It's no wonder that in the final sprint, with a comprehensive quality of 136 points, it feels somewhat difficult to sustain.

  It was another dash through the mountains and forests, this time because of his new abilities, Bai Huan felt that the trees, grasses, and vines that flashed by around him were all in sync with his mind, like they were his brothers, relatives, an extension of his body... without causing any hindrance to him.

  He soon found the trail left by Zhou Chouyuan and others as they withdrew.

  "Ah...... I won't make it, I... I'm so scared..."

  Just as Bai Guang felt that he was getting close to the main force and was about to catch up with them, a faint cry suddenly came from behind the mountain ridge in front of him. The voice was urgent and flustered. In this string of crying shouts, there were also chaotic barks of dogs and anxious and noisy human voices.

  Looks like it's gone wrong after all!

  Bai Guang hastily took three steps and then two more, charging forward. The scattered rocks and weeds in front of him, as well as the narrow winding path that was almost at a 90-degree angle to the horizontal plane on the steep slope, could not stop his figure.

  Two or three strides and I had climbed over the ridge.

  But after seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Huang couldn't help but burst out another curse.

  A torrent of mountain stream rushed down, and at this time, Yan Jing was trapped in the middle of the water flow. Her only support was that small tree with a thick arm.

  It didn't take much thought to realize that this was definitely due to the heavy rainfall, so several mountain torrents converged together after chaotic flushing, forming a mountain flood that swept Yu Cianjin into the water.

  Watching Yu Chuanjin being washed away by the flood at any time, and finally buried in this mountain, Wang Xian and others were also anxious, with several people's waists tied with safety ropes, but they all stood on the water's edge without any means.

  It's not that they are timid, but the impact of this mountain flood is really beyond people's imagination. Even the strongest man in the team can't stand still in the water flow, and every time he just touches the water, he is washed away by the mountain flood for seven or eight meters. If it weren't for the reliable knot on his waist, someone would have gone before Cian.

  "What's going on?! Didn't I tell you all to tie yourselves together with a rope?!"

  Witnessing this infuriating scene, Bai Huan's heart was also burning with anger. He wiped his face and shouted at Wang Kun in a loud voice.

  Seeing Bai Guang safely return, the mining team should have breathed a sigh of relief. But the current situation didn't allow them to feel genuinely happy.

  Wang Xian's face was anxious and worried: "She had fastened the safety buckle, but who knew that the life jacket on her clothes was originally damaged and then soaked by water..."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Huan's two eyebrows furrowed together as he gazed at Yu Tianjin with a look that was no longer gentle, but rather one of unmistakable "you scoundrel".

  Why didn't she tie a rope around her waist like others did, given the heavy rain and slippery road, as well as the unpredictable danger of mountain floods?

  But at this point, saving a group of people is also salvation, and saving one more doesn't make much difference.

  It's just...

  White light flashed in his eyes, and he began to patrol back and forth on both sides of the mountain torrent.

  Everyone thought he was thinking of a solution, but in fact Bai Huan was considering the safety index.

  Saving a silly nouveau riche girl is okay, but I won't risk my own life for it.

  But now it seems there's still some hope...

  So Yu Zhenjin can pray now, praying that she won't have to accompany that wild boar, becoming a nameless scavenger in the mountains, as well as nutrients for dung beetles, microorganisms and plants.

  "Is there another rope? One that's a bit stronger!"

  Bai Hua shouted at Wang Xian while wiping his face again, the torrential rain getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

  "Ah, ah!" Wang Xian was taken aback, and then hesitated to look at the mountain floodwater again: "The water is too big, you can't get through."

  "What's the fuss about, rope? Hurry up and give it to me!"

  Wang Xian immediately fell silent, and others tried to persuade him, but after hesitating for a moment, they still couldn't bring themselves to speak.

  Yu Zhenjin, who was trapped in the middle of the mountain flood, also saw a glimmer of light in her desperate and helpless eyes when she saw Bai Huan appear. Unconsciously, her cries and wails subsided, and she stared longingly at the crowd five meters away, just like a little puppy that had lost its mother.

  After getting the rope, Yang Yi measured the width of the water surface and then looked up to select a sturdy chestnut tree.

  Huh? What's this...

  Several people guessed what Bai Huan meant, and their drooping eyelids suddenly opened wide.

  He slung the safety rope over his shoulder, and Bai Huan was like a mountain spirit monkey, using both hands and feet, whooshing up to a chestnut tree that three people couldn't hug together, the whole process didn't take ten seconds. That extremely agile posture made the people under the tree witness a textbook-like rock climbing skill they had never seen or heard of before.

  It took ten seconds to climb up the big tree, and then it took another five seconds to slide onto a horizontal branch.

  If saying Bai Huan climbing the tree is like a spiritual monkey, then now it's like an enlarged lizard. If not for his body being larger than a lizard, a group of people would have caught up with him long ago.

  It's July now, and the chestnut trees have started to bear fruit. The branches are full of green spiky balls.

  Bai Hua has been sitting steadily on the branch from the top of the tree to now, and hasn't even touched a single fruit. This kind of incredible skill is probably enough to make the monkeys of Mount Emei look back in awe.

  Lying on the branch, Bai Huan began to tie a safety rope above. This thick and thin branch that can bear the weight of an adult's calf is absolutely astonishing, and this doesn't even count Bai Huan sprinkling a thread of natural power, using the newly obtained tranquility to communicate, and "instructing" this big chestnut tree.

  Tighter and tighter the rope was tied, Bai Huan pulled on the rope, winding it around his left hand several times, then clamped his legs tightly around the branch and started to swing back and forth.

  Even a fool would know what Bai Huan is going to do now! The surroundings were silent, with everyone looking up at Bai Huan, not feeling the slightest bit of neck pain. Even those restless Kawakami dogs had forgotten to bark, only making tense gasping sounds.

  With his legs clamped on the tree trunk, he retreated to a suitable position and then estimated the distance again before taking a deep breath.

  As he breathed, the heartbeat of the crowd under the tree became more and more urgent, almost jumping out of their throats.

  But just as they were watching intently to see what Bai Huan would do next, a figure like Tarzan swung out!

  Before everyone's thoughts could catch up with their line of sight, the figure had already flashed across the rushing water surface and arrived beside Yu Zhenjin.

  Plop! Plop! Plop!

  The sound of heartbeat overwhelmed the howling of wind and rain, many people's fingernails had deeply embedded into their flesh, but the owners of the hands didn't feel a thing.

  All she saw was a white flash, like a shooting star falling from the sky, and it landed right next to Yu Qianjin. The woman trapped in the middle of the water hadn't reacted yet, but suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past her side, and herself flying into mid-air.

  "Ah!"

  Yu Zhanjin was completely unprepared, she didn't think Bai Huan would be so decisive, without any probing, and directly came out. And when she also flew into the air, she finally let out a shocked cry.

  The pendulum-like simple harmonic motion of two people reached its highest point, stopped for a moment, and then began to fall back under the action of gravity.

  Yu Zhanjin hid in Bai Huan's arms, her heart feeling like it was in a dream, yet extremely at ease. At this moment, she had clearly escaped danger, but her heartbeat quickened again, and the hands holding onto Bai Huan's waist also felt hot to the touch.

  Those waiting on the shore, the soy sauce ones, do not know Yu Tianjin's current thoughts. All the fear and tension in their hearts have been replaced with heartfelt admiration, and their eyes are filled with intense gratitude.

  Aerial rescue in mountain flood!

  Is there anything more exciting and thrilling than this?

  When the two finally landed steadily, the small mountain stream was filled with long-suppressed cheers.
