My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 86: Chapter 82: Splitting the Lovebirds, In Peril

Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng immediately rushed over, bracing the large stone from the left and right.

After letting go, Li Xiang didn’t rush off. The wild boar den was right here; those two couldn’t have run far.

He checked the time. It was already 9:48 AM, almost time for his scheduled 10 AM stream with his fans. So, he powered on his gear and went online.

In addition to the tactical camera helmet on his head, he also set up his phone on a tripod about two meters from the cave entrance.

Soon, the number of viewers in the stream room grew. They all greeted him one after another. ”Brother Xiang, you’re on a dozen minutes early today.”

”Good morning, Brother Xiang.”

Li Xiang interacted with everyone, explaining, ”Here’s the situation. We got lucky this morning and found a wild boar cave about nine kilometers southwest of Li Family Village. There were about a dozen boars sleeping inside. We just moved a huge boulder to block the entrance, so now we’re about to see a real show. It’ll be like shooting fish in a barrel.”

The fans were instantly thrilled.

”You can pull a slick move like that?”

”Brother Xiang, you’re playing dirty! The boars are gonna be furious!”

”How many are there?”

Everyone started asking questions.

Li Xiang said, ”To be honest, I didn’t have time to count them. But I can give you all a little peek. As for the exact number... hmm, once the likes for this stream hit thirty thousand, I’ll open the blind box. I’m not kidding, I really don’t know how many there are.”

As he spoke, he turned, walked to the cave entrance, and aimed the camera inside.

The boulder blocking the entrance was slightly shorter than the cave’s height, leaving a gap of over twenty centimeters at the top. There was also a gap at one of the bottom corners; it wasn’t a perfect seal.

Although the boars had been startled and were frantically ramming the entrance to escape, the stone was too big, and people were bracing it from the outside. All they could do was squeal helplessly.

Li Xiang lightly touched a button on his helmet, turning on the flashlight. Instantly, the scene inside the pitch-black cave became clear. Sure enough, there was a dark, seething mass of wild boars.

The sudden light agitated the boars, making them even more restless. A few piglets darted back and forth, ramming into everything. The cave was in chaos.

Afraid of agitating the boars further, Li Xiang quickly turned off the light. Besides, the entrance reeked. He didn’t linger, taking a few steps back before telling his fans, ”Thanks for the support, everyone. But I have one more thing to do. While I was finding a stone to block the cave, my teammates were keeping watch and saw a male and female boar leave the den.”

”Now, while the likes are still under thirty thousand, I’m going to go catch those two! Let’s go! Follow my camera!”

Li Xiang set a line of text on the screen: ”Likes hit 30k for the blind box reveal: Capturing the boars in the cave.”

Then he split the screen. The main screen, of course, followed his point of view as he explored the snowy forest. The secondary screen showed the feed from the phone on the tripod in front of the cave. This view was pretty static and not very interesting, as it only showed the two old men. Although there were boars, they were blocked by the large stone, so the audience could only hear their squeals, not see them.

The fans started commenting and discussing, and the stream chat grew lively. The viewer count quickly rose from the initial two or three hundred to over a thousand. When some latecomers didn’t understand the situation, helpful fans who had been there earlier would explain, and occasionally, Li Xiang would chime in with a few extra details.

By the time Li Xiang, holding his High-Density Blade and carrying the Hunting Net on his back, had walked eight or nine hundred meters and found the two boars by following their tracks in the snow, the viewer count had already surpassed five thousand.

Important fans like He Zhixiang and Luo Feifei were already online as well.

And then, Li Xiang was stunned. The fans were stunned too.

The number of viewers in the stream suddenly skyrocketed from just over five thousand to over ten thousand, then twenty thousand, finally stabilizing at over thirty thousand and still slowly climbing.

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight! Not only was it rare, but it was also utterly captivating!

There, in the middle of the ice and snow, a massive boar weighing over four hundred pounds was mounted on a sow of about two hundred pounds. The male and female were in the middle of some very NSFW business. It was so lewd.

Li Xiang, with the camera on his head, hadn’t expected this scene at all, and had broadcast it abruptly to the stream.

The stream chat exploded.

”Brother Xiang, get closer! I want to see!”

”Quick, get a close-up of the important parts! This bro will shower you with gifts!”

In her luxury villa, Luo Feifei couldn’t help but curl her lip in disgust. ’If you really get a close-up, that’s just gross,’ she thought. ’I’ll leave the stream immediately!’

Li Xiang snapped back to his senses. In a flash, he lunged forward. The Hunting Net in his hands flew out with the speed of lightning, instantly ensnaring the two boars.

The two boars, startled and panicked, tried to struggle. But Li Xiang was already beside them. The Wild Boar King’s Suppression from his White Fang Dagger spread out, and the two large boars began to tremble and convulse. Li Xiang tightened the Hunting Net.

The system’s Mutant Creature Identification Function didn’t trigger an alert, meaning these two boars were just Mortal Items. Naturally, he had to catch them alive; they would sell for a higher price.

Fans: ”So dishonorable! How could you attack while the boars were ’cleaning their ears’?”

”That’s going to give the male boar such a huge complex! He’ll probably be limp for the rest of his life.”

”Haha, don’t worry, that boar doesn’t have a ’rest of his life’.”

One fan couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity. ”The boar must be thinking, ’What sin did I commit in my past life to be tortured like this by you two-legged beasts out here in the middle of a frozen wasteland?’”

”You could have at least waited for them to finish before you made a move!”

”How do you know they didn’t finish? Didn’t you see? The two boars are motionless now, still convulsing.”

”Holy crap, did Brother Xiang’s sudden appearance accelerate their... pleasure?”

Seeing that Li Xiang not only didn’t get a close-up but actually interrupted the NSFW scene, many fans were quite disappointed. However, some people were pleased by this.

Luo Feifei chuckled softly and took action again, sending 6 Carnivals in a row!

He Zhixiang smiled faintly and followed up with two of his own.

The fans: ”...”

Meanwhile, the dozen or so boars trapped in the cave grew restless, and a violent aura gradually filled the air.

An adult sow stuck her snout into the gap between the cave entrance and the boulder at the bottom, ramming it desperately. Seeing this, Li Yucheng grabbed his shovel and chopped at it fiercely a few times. The boar squealed in pain and retreated.

But a moment later, another boar came forward.

’This is never-ending,’ Li Yucheng thought. The contest of man versus boar had begun again.

The large stone was nearly tipped over several times. Li Yucheng not only had to push against the stone with all his might, but also fight back with the shovel. He was getting old, after all, and after a while, he started to get worn out and was breathing heavily.

Jiang Jianguo said, ”Let me take over. If they dare to rebel again, I’ll stab them with the steel fork!”

Bracing the large stone, the two of them quickly switched places. Jiang Jianguo moved over to the gap at the bottom.

Another boar stuck its snout out and rammed desperately. Jiang Jianguo sneered, picked up the Three-pronged Steel Fork Li Xiang had given him, and stabbed viciously!

”SQUELCH~”

A boar’s snout is powerful, often used for rooting and ramming, but it was no match for the sharp Three-pronged Steel Fork forged from a Rock-Breaking Rolling Blade. The fork pierced straight through its nose.

Holy shit! The boar immediately started thrashing around like it had gone mad. Jiang Jianguo quickly pulled the Three-pronged Steel Fork out, but it was too late. After retreating back into the cave, the boar leaped and bounded about, crashing into everything like a maniac. The boars inside the cave erupted into a full-blown riot!

Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng used all their strength but were still unable to hold them back. They quickly used their shovel and steel fork to brace the large stone.

However, they had underestimated the explosive power of this herd of boars.

”CRACK~” ”CRACK~”

Li Yucheng’s shovel bent instantly, and then its handle snapped in the middle. Jiang Jianguo’s Three-pronged Steel Fork was sturdier, made of superalloy steel, so the fork itself didn’t break. However, its arm-thick Birch Wood fork handle, just like Li Yucheng’s shovel handle, snapped in two.

Having lost their supports, the two old men could no longer resist the rioting boars. Although they maintained their posture of pushing back with all their might, they were forced back step by step.

The situation was perilous.
