“Daebok! Where are you? Are you okay?!”
Yeon Woo shouted in the direction they disappeared, but only her voice echoed back.
The mountainous terrain was too rugged to navigate.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
Confused by the turn of events, Yeon Woo pondered her next move.
― Crack!
A loud snapping noise came from the dense bushes.
It was too loud to be a small animal.
As Yeon Woo turned towards the sound…
― Roar!
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the mountain.
At the same time, from the fallen bushes, a large shape was seen rushing towards where Yeon Woo stood.
It had a massive body, with rough, dark gray fur and sharply protruding tusks. The creature was a wild boar, as big as Yeon Woo herself.
As it rushed towards her, the wild boar halted abruptly upon noticing Yeon Woo.
“……!”
Yeon Woo’s body shivered with goosebumps as their eyes met.
Although she had often climbed mountains for herbs or hunted small animals, this was her first face-to-face encounter with a wild boar.
She remembered stories of strong men killed by boars in the mountains.
A wild boar was definitely not an animal to be underestimated.
Yeon Woo held her breath and scanned the surroundings for a tree or rock to climb, avoiding alarming the boar.
Unfortunately, the nearby trees were too slender for climbing, and the rocks were too high and distant from her current location.
The best strategy seemed to be to pass quietly without provoking the boar. Still, she needed to be prepared for any sudden movements.
Yeon Woo slowly drew her bow from behind her back.
She had to protect herself without provoking the boar.
Gently, she placed an arrow on the bowstring.
She then began to step back slowly, increasing the distance between her and the boar, ready to shoot if it charged.
If she did shoot, she knew it had to end with a single shot.
As she recalled the archery test at the training camp, she aimed at the boar’s forehead.
What was practice before now seemed no different from actual combat.
“…….,”
Yeon Woo and the boar silently observed each other.
As the tense atmosphere thickened, Yeon Woo was covered in cold sweat.
Focused, she didn’t even realize how wet her body had become due to her sweat.
As she aimed quietly and retreated…
― Roar!
The boar suddenly lunged, kicking up dirt and charging fiercely towards Yeon Woo.
There wouldn’t be a second chance if she failed.
Without hesitation, Yeon Woo released the bowstring she had been aiming with.
It was a life-or-death gamble.
― Squeal!
The boar’s scream echoed through the mountain.
Yeon Woo’s arrow flew swiftly, striking the charging boar’s forehead precisely.
The boar let out a death cry, stopped in its tracks, and collapsed.
The boar, gasping for breath, convulsed for a moment and then lay still.
Yeon Woo approached to confirm its death.
‘I caught a wild boar!’
A thrill beyond words resonated within her.
The joy of a life-threatening hunt was incomparable to catching smaller animals.
Moreover, it seemed they would feast on wild boar meat for dinner.
A boar this size could feed the entire troop with leftovers to spare.
The problem was she couldn’t move the boar alone.
She needed to find Daebok and return to the training camp to get help.
Just as Yeon Woo was about to leave…
― Crack.
The sound of breaking wood was heard again.
― Rustle rustle.
― Crack.
― Crunch crunch.
Emerging from between the bushes was another group of wild boars.
Here, Yeon Woo encountered a new problem.
Firstly, the size of the newly appeared wild boars was significantly larger compared to the previous ones. The wild boar Yeon Woo had caught was two to three times smaller in size. In comparison, the one Yeon Woo caught seemed like a less mature sub-adult.
Secondly, there weren’t just one or two wild boars. Several more, with large builds, were visible.
And finally, the third issue. Upon seeing the carcass of the fallen wild boar, the others started snorting fiercely. It seemed the death of their comrade had incited the group.
This was an unfavorable situation for Yeon Woo in many ways. It was challenging enough dealing with one, but now there were several larger ones.
Then, Yeon Woo’s eyes met with the largest of the boars.
“Please, just pass by!” she silently prayed.
However, contrary to her prayers, the largest wild boar started to get increasingly agitated.
As Yeon Woo stepped backward, she felt something cold and hard against her back. It was a rock. With a herd of wild boars in front of her and a large rock behind, she was caught in a real predicament.
A wild boar aggressively pawed the ground with its front hoof and then charged toward Yeon Woo.
She didn’t even have the chance to draw her bowstring.
Most of all, Yeon Woo’s body was rigid with fear, unable to move even a little.
Surrounded by wild boars on all sides, Yeon Woo tightly closed her eyes, unable to do anything.
―Bang!
With a collision sound, Yeon Woo’s body suddenly lifted into the air.
And then she found herself enveloped in something warm and soft. There was no pain at all.
For a moment, she only heard the thumping of her heart.
“Ah… I must be dead,” she thought. It seemed true that if the pain is too much, you might not even feel it.
Yeon Woo wondered if her body, hit by the wild boar, had left this world and entered the afterlife.
Slowly, Yeon Woo opened her eyes.
But what she saw was not a wild boar or the afterlife, but the face of Gun.
Yeon Woo’s eyes widened in shock at Gun’s sudden appearance, turning as round as a startled rabbit’s.
“Lord Kwang Ho, how could you be here… Uh!”
Suddenly, Gun covered Yeon Woo’s mouth with his hand, his large palm hiding half of her face.
“Lower your voice,” Gun said in a deep, resonant voice.
A strangely seductive quality flowed through the soft sound produced in his low register.
Yeon Woo, following Gun’s gaze, looked down.
Below them, about two steps away, wild boars were roaming in a group.
The thud must have been the sound of a large wild boar hitting the rock.
The feeling of being lifted in the air seemed like Gun on the rock had caught Yeon Woo.
It was then that Yeon Woo belatedly realized where she was.
The warmth she felt was not the afterlife but in the arms of Gun.
Yeon Woo was almost nestled in Gun’s chest. Though she was disguised as a man, she was truly a woman, and Gun, wild as he might be, was a real man.
Yeon Woo, finding herself unexpectedly embraced in the chest of an unrelated man, involuntarily held her breath.
