With this mindset, Lu Ming carefully sized up his surroundings before getting out of the car.

It was still early in the morning, and the environment appeared a bit gloomy. However, fortunately, there seemed to be no one moving around, and he didn’t spot any wolves or other ferocious beasts.

It seemed safe to get out of the car now

Even so, he could not let his guard down easily. With that thought in mind, he picked up his Fish Scale Military Saber in one hand and opened the car door. He silently tiptoed towards the box, cautious of his surroundings.

Within a few steps, Lu Ming arrived in front of the large box.

“Wow, this box is quite big,” Lu Ming remarked and patted the box in satisfaction. The previous boxes he had come across were no taller than his knees, but this one reached up to his collarbone.

He estimated that the supplies inside this box were several times more than the other ones he had encountered.

“Hehe…I’ve struck it rich!” Lu Ming exclaimed, rubbing his hands together in excitement.

However, just as he was about to swing the hammer at the box, he suddenly stopped. “Oh da*mn it!” he muttered to himself, feeling uneasy. Just now, he had caught a glimpse of a pair of green, shining eyes in the nearby grass.

Although he didn’t think it was a wolf, but he was still apprehensive about being watched by that creature.

Fortunately, a few seconds later, the creature in the grass slowly closed its eyes and seemed to no longer care about Lu Ming’s actions.

“Phew…”

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously stretched his neck to peer into the bushes.

What kind of strange creature was staring at him just now?

As he looked, Lu Ming suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

In the lush grass not far away, a huge and sturdy wild boar was lying lazily.

If the wild boar was just huge, Lu Ming would not be afraid.

However, what made this wild boar terrifying was the pair of sharp and pointed tusks in its mouth!

This pair of fangs was shining with silver light and were sharp and straight.The top was covered with various serrated spikes, resembling a pair of sturdy wolf fangs.

If it weren’t for those horrifying fangs, a collision with a wild boar of this size would have only resulted in broken bones at most.

However, if he were to collide with those iron-hard fangs. He was afraid that his life would be lost here. Moreover, wild boars were creatures with strong explosive power. The distance between him and the wild boar was only a short dozen meters!

If it wanted to, it could rush in front of Lu Ming and bump him away in just three seconds!

Moreover, although the wild boar looked like it was taking a quiet nap, but it was still a little sleepy.

However, based on the situation just now, it was very likely just pretending.

These wild animals were clever and knew how to deceive their prey.

Lu Ming frowned silently. He gripped the bronze hammer in his hand tightly and retreated slowly.

Unfortunately, the box he had just come across was enormous. It could be said that it was the largest box he had seen in this period of time.

If it was as small as the previous wooden box he had encountered before, he could have struggled to carry it back to his car and then open it.

But this thing was too big to fit in the car, which made things difficult for him.

“Why don’t I go back to the car first and wait until dawn when the wild boar has no chance to attack me?” Lu Ming thought but as soon as this thought appeared in Lu Ming’s mind, he immediately rejected it.

No! There were too many cars on this road.

Lu Ming frowned silently. It was feasible to wait until the sky was completely bright before touching the box. However, the road was so spacious and there were many competitors at the same time as him. If they noticed the box and came to snatch it from him, he would be in trouble, not just facing the dangerous wild boar.

If he fought with the wild boar, he would at most be bitten once or twice. Moreover, the wild boar was still sleeping. He might still have a chance.

However, if he fought with others, he would most likely die. At the thought of this, Lu Ming made up his mind.

He had to quickly take and open this box before anyone discovered him!

Although there was a sleeping wild boar more than ten meters away from the box, but he believed that if he was careful, there shouldn’t be any big problems, right?

At the thought of this, Lu Ming tightly gripped the bronze hammer in his hand and swallowed nervously as he cautiously tiptoed towards the large box in front of him.

“This box is really huge,” he thought to himself, marveling at its size. Lu Ming had never seen a box this big before. Even if he added up all the boxes he had opened before, it was almost not as big as the one he had seen before.

“There must be something really valuable inside,” he thought excitedly. “If I can find a special weapon blueprint or rare raw materials, I’ll be rich!” But he also knew that he had to be careful. At the thought of this, Lu Ming glanced at the wild boar in the distance with fear.

He was afraid that the wild boar might wake up and attack him. All his hard work would be for nothing if that happened.

At the thought of this, Lu Ming raised the bronze hammer and carefully smashed it into the box.

“Dong, dong!”

The moment the bronze hammer hit the box. A loud buzzing sound instantly burst out from the box, echoing throughout the entire gravel beach.

The wild boar more than ten meters away seemed to have heard the sound but it just moved its ears and did not get up to attack Lu Ming. Instead, the wild boar continued to lie in the grass, turned over, and fell asleep.

Looking at the movements of the wild boar, Lu Ming subconsciously swallowed his saliva and tightened his grip on the knife.

When the wild boar began to move, he became alert on impulse.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

However, the danger of opening the box seemed to be much more significant than he had imagined.

Lu Ming silently frowned and touched the box, which had a dent in it already.

He hadn’t used much strength just now, but the sound was already so loud.

If the wild boar was alarmed, it would be a big problem.

Should he play it safe or take the box and leave?

Lu Ming couldn’t help but feel nervous. He hid to the side and held the handle of the car tightly, stopping to watch.

More than ten minutes later, after confirming that the wild boar was snoring and had not been affected by him, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The wild boar seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lu Ming carefully looked at the wild boar in the grass.

He shouldn’t be able to threaten me for the time being, right?
