After waiting for a while, the first few piglets fell over. After the piglets collapsed, the two large wild boars nudged their offspring a few times before they too succumbed and collapsed.

As the wild boars fell, someone in the trees couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise. At this moment, no one said anything about it. They waited for a few more minutes, and when the wild boars didn't move, someone wanted to go down, but Fu Yu stopped them. From the tree, Fu Xiao used her spiritual power to sense the surroundings and confirmed that all the wild boars had fainted. She called down to Fu Yu, "Big Brother, they're all out..."

She pulled out her slingshot from her bag and threw small stones at the wild boars, clearly seeing that they didn't react at all, before signaling everyone to come down.

While everyone was busy carrying the wild boars, Fu Xiao took a few steps forward and spread some more powder around the area. This was to mask the scent of the spiritual spring water. The wild boars they had now were enough, and attracting anything bigger could be dangerous.

Fu Hong jumped up and down in excitement. "Oh my gosh, little sister, you're amazing! Look at all this meat; it's enough to last us forever!"

Li Hao and the others were also overjoyed. Rural households didn't have meat tickets, so they could only eat meat a few times a year. Now, seeing so many wild boars in front of them, they could eat to their heart's content.

Fu Yu reprimanded the group, "Hurry up and get moving. If something bigger comes along, who's going to deal with it? Quickly, let's get these out of here."

Only then did the group start moving. The piglets were manageable, weighing only a few dozen pounds each, so one person could handle them. However, the two large wild boars were just too heavy, each weighing over three hundred pounds. Four young men together could barely move one.

In the end, they tied up the three piglets with ropes and carried them a distance of five or six minutes from the ditch before stopping. Then they set the piglets down and went back for the big wild boars. It took them nearly an hour to move both the big and small wild boars together.

Fu Xiao followed behind, carrying several wild chickens.

Almost at the same time they put the big wild boars down, the group was exhausted. Despite their abundant haul, they still faced the problem of how to transport it all back. Finally, Fu Yu spoke, panting heavily, "Haozi, you're fast. Go back and get people. Tell my father about this and have him bring people here. Remember, don't spread the word. Go directly to my father, or your father, that's fine too. You remember the way, right?"

Li Hao waved him off, "Yu-ge, you're underestimating me. I've been running in these woods since I was a kid. Of course, I remember the way..."

Fu Yu nodded, "Alright, you go. We'll wait here. Don't rush on the way; stay safe."

Li Hao quickly set off in the direction they came from.

The rest of them tied the two large wild boars tightly with ropes to prevent them from waking up prematurely.

Meanwhile, Fu Xiao pulled Fu Hong along to gather herbs nearby. Although they hadn't ventured deep into the mountains yet, the variety of medicinal herbs here was already rich. She looked up towards the deeper parts of the forest.

In those dense woods, who knows how many herbs could be hidden?

"Little sister, what are you looking at?" Fu Hong asked.

Fu Xiao shook her head and didn't say much. She knew that going deep into the mountains wasn't feasible right now. Even though she could ensure her own safety, she would need to sneak out without her family knowing; otherwise, they wouldn't agree to let her go.
