Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

However, there are two troublesome issues.

First, the tusked pigs are gregarious animals, usually appearing in groups ranging from twenty to fifty, forming a highly mobile armored cavalry.

Second, the tusked pigs have a volatile temper and hold grudges extremely well.

Once provoked, they will not stop until they die or kill their provoker.

Their disposition is straightforward; they seek revenge the moment they are offended. Even when facing predators like tigers and wolves, these pigs will charge at them and not stop until they have bitten their adversaries to death.

"This is indeed a troublesome species," Su Jie mused. In some rural areas of Huaxia, there are occasional incidents of wild boars eating crops, and in ancient times, they were an even greater scourge.

Only now they have become protected animals.

And here on Primordial Planet, there are also tusked pigs.

It must be said, history has its similarities.

On Earth, there are primarily five methods to prevent wild boars from invading crops.

The first and simplest is to build plowshares with thorns and the like near the farmland, which can naturally keep the tusked pigs at bay.

However, Earth's wild boars dig tunnels, and the boars of Primordial Star are naturally even more agile, so this can likely only stop them temporarily.

Second is to create noise.

Most creatures are highly averse to noise.

The method is simple: tie tiles, bottles, and the like to the branches surrounding the farmlands. When the wind blows, they make sounds, which naturally scare the wild pigs.

But this is only a temporary solution.

If Earth's wild boars can adapt, so can the tusked pigs of Primordial Planet.

The third is to plant around farmlands the types of plants that wild pigs detest, to keep them at bay.

This method turns out to be the most reliable on Primordial Planet.

After all, there are no modern measures here, and this way of using nature to manage nature is the most cost-effective approach.

But are the tusked pigs simply not accustomed to the irritating smell emitted by those plants?

This would require a search that may consume time.

The fourth is to erect scarecrows in the fields and then keep watch at night, guarding the crops. If wild pigs approach, they are to be driven away actively.

Earth's wild boars are easily startled, but the tusked pigs on Primordial Star are highly volatile, so unless the number of people far exceeds their number, the pigs would rather charge at the humans than flee.

It can be said that, in the minds of tusked pigs, no matter how strong the enemy, they will fight to the death.

This disposition is even tougher than the "bully."

Fifth, on Earth, if one truly cannot stand the wild pigs, they can apply for a hunting permit from the relevant departments.

This is something that the people of the Xuan Tribe are already doing.

They have no concept of protecting animals; their thought is simple: if the tusked pigs dare to steal the grains they have worked hard to grow, then those pigs must be turned into meat.

But as it stands, the effect is minimal.

After all, with the tusked pigs appearing in groups, it's extraordinarily difficult for the primordial humans to repel them. The pigs even seem to be aware that the crops belong to the humans, deliberately trampling on the yet-to-ripen grains while eating, as if to exact revenge against the primordial humans.

"How about this, listen to what I have to say..." Su Jie laid out all five methods, instructing the primitive people to prepare accordingly.

Hunting?

That is the last resort.

It can be used as a way to drive them away but shouldn't be the primary focus.

According to Wu Xuan's reports, in this area, there are more than ten thousand tusked pigs, and with their ferocious temper, if the entire herd is enraged, they may collectively launch an attack, even potentially causing a large-scale beast tide.

Although the Xuan Tribe has entered the slash-and-burn agriculture phase under the guidance of Su Jie, the Divine Envoy, he does not advocate setting fires in the mountains.

If it's suitable wasteland for clearing, that's one thing, but if the forests are set ablaze, the fire could even spread to the Xuan Tribe.

Even if it doesn't spread, the effects of the large fire could cause serious soil erosion, inflicting severe damage to the environment.

Therefore, of these five solutions, Su Jie's primary directives are to build fences, find plants that tusked pigs despise, and to have primordial humans take turns guarding the fields at night.

Following a series of measures by Su Jie, for a time the tusked pigs were confused and almost always returned without success. The confidence of the primordial people grew greatly, and they even began to mock the tusked pigs.

"Look at those black tusked pigs, with nothing but tusks, too cowardly to walk past the thorns, how foolish."

"Exactly!"

"They are fit only to be our food!"

As several primordial humans guarding the fields were happily chatting, the leader of the guard shouted, "Silence! The Divine Envoy has taught us to learn reverence!"

"Look at yourselves just now, full of arrogance, with none of the demeanor of those who have been instructed by the Divine Envoy."

"I am truly ashamed for you!"

These primitive people were instantly dumbstruck, daring not to offer any kind of rebuttal.

The Divine Envoy was absolutely correct!

Hum——

Just at that moment, the ground shook, and from the distant jungle emerged a behemoth boar about five meters tall and more than ten meters long, with tusks like crescent moons pointing to the sky on either side of its short snout.

From its head to its back was a streak of white bristle, stark against its boulder-like black skin.

"It's the tusker king!"

The watch captain exclaimed in alarm and hastily sounded the horn, alerting everyone in the Xuan Tribe.

In an instant, all the warriors who remained in the tribe seized their weapons—spears, stone axes, bows and arrows, lassos, and more—rushing towards the fields.

Boom!

Boom boom!

Everyone gazed in horror at the imposing tusker king, stunned for a moment before they immediately sprang into action.

Those with lassos used lassos, those with arrows shot arrows, those with stones threw stones, and those with spears hurled spears.

All the warriors sprang into action, attempting to subdue the swaggering tusker king.

However, the tusker king was surprisingly able to spew out flames.

Roar——

With a breath, sparks flew, and not only were many of the warriors killed or injured, but a large part of the crops was also burned to ashes.

"No!" Help

The warriors looked at their fallen comrades, then saw the burning crops, their eyes filled with anger, horror, sadness, helplessness. All the surviving primitive people were overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

They had never imagined that among the tuskers there would be such a fire-breathing king.

This time, they lost not only a significant portion of their fighting force but also more than half their crops, plunging the entire Xuan Tribe into a dire food crisis.

"Humans!"

A rough voice echoed in everyone's minds.

"Who's there?"

All the surviving primitive people looked terrified at the tusker king, whose tusks were entangled with ropes, their faces filled with dread.

It was this tusker king!

It, could speak!

"Humans! Offer sacrifices to me!"

The tusker king spoke again, pausing after each word, "Otherwise, I'll eat you!"

Facing the threat of the tusker king, the belatedly arriving wizard of the Xuan Tribe, Wu Xuan, also spoke with measured pauses, "We have our own god, we won't worship you, a wild deity!"

The tusker king blinked its cold eyes and roared skyward.

"Roar——"

The voice shook the universe, extinguishing all the flames, and many severely wounded surviving warriors were shaken to death, while the uninjured warriors felt a tightness in their chests and vomited fresh blood.

"Cough!"

Wu Xuan too coughed up blood, his aged face turning even paler, as if he might collapse at any moment.

But he stood firm, his eyes resolute.

"We have our own god!"

"We have our own faith!"

"We have our own god... Divine Envoy!"

The tusker king watched Wu Xuan for a while and said, "In three days, I'll come with my boys, and you must prepare enough food, otherwise you will be our food."

Having said that, it turned and left for the deep mountains and forests.

In the fields, chaos reigned.

Wu Xuan collapsed to the ground and was helped up by the surviving warriors.

"Wizard!"

"What should we do?"

"Only the Divine Envoy can help us!"

In panic, the people eventually thought of the Divine Envoy and, accompanying Wu Xuan, returned to the tribe and headed for the cave.

Only, Su Jie had already returned to reality...
