Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 67 Tempting the Mother Wild Boar (Please Collect!)

Ning Ze would never do something as foolish as offering his own soul scroll in exchange. Why give oneself to an existence that might not even be a monster, when life is so enjoyable?

The peculiar old tree did not respond to his question for a long time, as if contemplating Ning Ze's proposal.

It wasn't until over a minute later that the voice of the peculiar old tree rang out again: "Yes, two thousand kilograms."

It was a definite answer, but upon hearing it, Ning Ze's face immediately darkened.

Two thousand kilograms of edible meat in exchange for ten soul contract quotas, averaging one hundred kilograms of meat per quota. This was even more exploitative than a profiteer.

Ning Ze cursed the peculiar old tree a hundred times in his heart. He really wanted to take out his iron axe and split open this demon tree to see if its heart was black.

In the end, he decided to exchange twenty soul contract quotas for a ton of edible meat with the peculiar old tree.

The reason was simple. He still had nearly four tons of this meat in his backpack, and it wasn't a big problem to lose one ton. He had never thought of trading this meat on the Exchange.

With the improvement of players' attributes, their appetite generally increased, but their rationality remained unchanged. This led to players in the Late Stage increasingly starving to maintain their rationality. Therefore, edible food was a strategic material for the Mid-Late Stage, and its true value had yet to be realized.

Furthermore, the competition was nearing its end. In Ning Ze's view, the outcome in Zone Six was already decided. When the blizzard arrived, Zone Six would become an inhospitable world of ice and snow.

At that time, a large number of players from Zone Six would undoubtedly migrate, and Zone Nine, as the adjacent area to Zone Six, would also see an influx of Zone Six players.

These people who had lost their small cabins were all high-quality individuals suitable for signing soul contracts. After experiencing the usefulness of Xue Siyu, Ning Ze also felt that the quota of soul contracts was simply not enough.

He could think of this because of the inspiration he got from Xue Siyu.

To be safe, Ning Ze did not throw out a ton of edible bear meat all at once. He first threw a thousand kilograms of edible meat in chunks to the peculiar old tree. In a violent tremor, the accumulated snow on the tree's leaves fell off.

Only when the remaining number of soul contract quotas changed from "9" to "19" did Ning Ze feel at ease and threw the remaining thousand kilograms of edible bear meat in batches.

With twenty soul contract quotas obtained, the peculiar old tree fell into dormancy.

Sensing the surroundings, Ning Ze sneered, "So stingy. Not even a single iron tree. I even threw ten kilograms of ordinary meat before."

Feeling aggrieved, Ning Ze grabbed his iron axe and struck the peculiar old tree twice. Although no bright red juice flowed out, Ning Ze, who had vented his anger, instantly felt a little better.

"Let's go, Fenrir, let's catch the wild boar you found yesterday."

Ning Ze turned to look at Fenrir, who was squatting beside him, panting.

Upon hearing this, Fenrir immediately retracted its long tongue and jumped up excitedly.

Howl~ Howl~

Two short howls in response indicated affirmation. As a master of Fenrir's language, Ning Ze instantly understood that Fenrir was confident in finding the wild boars from yesterday.

In that case, it was time to take action.

Fenrir took the lead, exuding an imposing aura as it occasionally looked back and howled lightly, much like an interpreter guiding a dignitary.

Ning Ze was not idle along the way, picking up any collectible items without hesitation.

However, due to the accumulated snow, many items were buried beneath it, so he didn't collect much along the way.

Howl~

Suddenly, Fenrir let out a low howl and then crouched on the snow, refusing to move forward.

Seeing this, Ning Ze immediately stopped and crouched in place for five seconds. Under the "Zero Presence" effect, his presence instantly dropped to zero.

At this moment, Fenrir raised its head and looked around.

Strange, where is my master?

At that moment, a large hand patted its head, making it aware of Ning Ze's presence.

Holding his breath!

Following Fenrir's line of sight, Ning Ze saw a huge figure appear in the snowy field ahead, a large wild boar almost reaching the height of an adult man's back, accompanied by several piglets.

"It seems that this mother wild boar weighs over a ton, and there are seven piglets. This is a good catch."

Ning Ze observed the wild boar group from a distance but did not immediately launch an attack.

Wild boars, as creatures, naturally have a sense of territory and usually attack intruders in their territory. Moreover, a mother wild boar with piglets would be even more aggressive due to protecting its offspring.

"The terrain here is too complex. Once the grass is startled, if I can't kill the mother wild boar in a short time, it will likely flee into the woods. With the mother wild boar's familiarity with the territory, it would be quite a challenge to catch it then."

The mother wild boar was a small matter. If it were to escape into the woods, it could trample the piglets, causing unnecessary losses.

Ning Ze surveyed the surroundings and finally saw an open flat ground a hundred meters away.

"Fenrir, I'll hide in that open space. When the time comes, you'll lure the wild boar to my location."

He patted Fenrir's head.

Howl~ Howl~

Fenrir let out a low howl, and Ning Ze, regardless of whether it truly understood, immediately headed for the open snowy field.

Fenrir seemed to truly understand and watched him leave until he stopped at a certain spot in the open field. Only then did Fenrir retract its gaze and ran directly towards the wild boar group.

Howl~

A wolf-like howl instantly caught the attention of the mother wild boar. In just a moment, the mother wild boar recognized the intruder's identity.

In its not-so-bright mind, it vaguely remembered that it was this pig thief who took advantage of its inattention to steal one of its piglets yesterday. The thief was so fast that it chased for hundreds of meters but couldn't catch the despicable pig thief.

Today, this damned pig thief had come again. Seeing the other party's arrogance and greed, it was clear that the thief was planning to lay a sinful hand on its beloved piglets again.

Could it agree? Absolutely not. Moreover, the other party had appeared in its territory, so it must make the intruder leave today, both morally and legally.

Meeting an enemy, it was particularly resentful!

The mother wild boar almost hesitated and then charged towards Fenrir.

Ready to fight, ready to fight! Let's have a showdown!
