"Right." Xue Baojun completely agreed with Zhao Youcai's point of view. "I just got here myself, so I haven't had a chance to scout the area. But I heard from Leader Liu that this boar gored two people to death here even before Liwei."
"Yep." Zhao Youcai gestured to either side. "The undergrowth in these woods is too thick. I've been looking the last couple of days—it's full of wild roses and sticky vines. In a place like this, even the toughest dogs can't catch that boar."
Hearing this, Xue Baojun nodded again. "I'm not just bragging on my nephew's behalf, but his pack of dogs was pretty damn tough. The boar's den is over five li from here, and the dogs couldn't even keep it cornered in its lair. That's when I knew these woods were trouble."
This was a seasoned hunter, his experience vast. Even without scouting the mountain himself, just by listening to the simple description from two amateurs like Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao, he could grasp the general situation.
