Chapter 2

Su Jing walked to the backyard and was momentarily stunned by the sight of the ground covered in garbage.

Most of the garbage was made up of broken stones, shattered ceramic pieces, and wood. Although the carvings on them were somewhat peculiar, there was nothing particularly surprising about them. What truly left Su Jing speechless was the half-dead body of a massive wild beast lying in the pile of garbage.

It lay among the trash, its fur pitch black, and its head resembled a wild boar at first glance, but it was as large as an elephant. Its two long tusks were like elephant tusks, and below the chest, its internal organs and hind legs were missing, as if it had been half-eaten by some fierce predator. Su Jing, who enjoyed watching documentaries about nature and was familiar with various wild animals, did not recognize this beast. He was certain it was not from Earth.

"What the hell is going on? If the voices in the sky were telling the truth, then this garbage must have come from another dimension. Those bastards actually used my backyard as a garbage dump? Did they even ask for my permission? This half-dead boar weighs at least two thousand pounds, and the other garbage must weigh several tons. How am I supposed to deal with all this?" Su Jing felt like crying, and if he could, he would have argued with the voices in the sky.

After sulking for a while, Su Jing suddenly squatted down and started rummaging through the garbage. He remembered a saying: "Garbage is just treasure in the wrong place." Perhaps he could find something valuable to sell among the trash. Even if he couldn't sell much, if a scrap collector could take some of it away, it would make his job easier. However, to his disappointment, most of the items were broken stones, ceramic pieces, and wood, which scrap collectors wouldn't take.

"Huh, what's this...?"

Su Jing suddenly picked up a piece of paper with a drawing of a young man.

It was a simple ink sketch, and the drawing wasn't very good. Next to it, in ink, were the words: "My idol — Lin Lei Baruk."

Su Jing's mind went blank for a second, and then his eyes twitched.

Lin Lei Baruk, could this be the protagonist of "Coiling Dragon"?

Could this garbage have come from the "Coiling Dragon" dimension? Could this massive boar be a magical beast?

Su Jing's eyes lit up, and he began to carefully search through the garbage again. If there were any of Lin Lei's works among the trash, it would be a big deal. Lin Lei was a master sculptor, and his "Awakening" sculpture had sold for 12 million gold coins. If not for Dilia slipping a note to Hise, making him give up, the final auction price might have been even higher. Even fragments of Lin Lei's sculptures, if pieced together, would be quite valuable.

Su Jing picked up pieces of broken stone and examined them carefully, but his face gradually darkened.

Even a layman could easily see that the carving was terrible. The lines were uneven and crooked, like the work of a three-year-old. This couldn't be Lin Lei's work; it was probably the wasted material of a beginner who admired Lin Lei.

"Right, if it were carved by Lin Lei, even if it were broken, it wouldn't be treated as garbage. I was just being unrealistic." Su Jing sighed helplessly and thoroughly searched the garbage pile but found nothing of value.

"Meow" "Meow" Suddenly, Su Jing heard some cat meows. He looked down and saw three kittens approaching, one of which stood next to the boar, biting into the wound on its belly and chewing a piece of meat.

"Hey, don't eat that." Su Jing quickly squatted down and picked up the kitten. He wasn't sure if such small kittens could eat meat, and this boar was likely a magical beast, so who knew what would happen if they ate it.

But Su Jing was too late. The kitten he picked up had already swallowed the meat and seemed to be addicted, meowing and struggling to get back to the boar. The other two kittens also joined in, biting the meat.

"You little gluttons, cats are supposed to eat fish, not meat. Why are you eating meat now?" Su Jing was speechless and hurriedly chased the three kittens away. At that moment, a fierce meow came from the side, and the mother cat pounced at Su Jing, probably thinking he was trying to harm her kittens.

"Damn, she's pretty aggressive." Su Jing quickly backed away, admiring the mother cat's bravery. Normally, even if a cat protected its kittens, it wouldn't dare attack a human, who was a giant to them.

The mother cat protected her three kittens, her fur bristling as she hissed at Su Jing. When Su Jing backed away five meters, her fur gradually relaxed, and the kittens, unaware of the danger, took the opportunity to steal more meat.

The mother cat kept a wary eye on Su Jing while tearing off a large piece of meat and using it to lure the kittens away, back into the house. Clearly, they had already made the house their home and considered Su Jing an intruder.

"I'm not going to stop you. If you get diarrhea, don't blame me." Seeing the mother cat's aggression, Su Jing decided not to interfere. Otherwise, he might accidentally get scratched or hurt the cats, which would be a tragedy. Now he could only hope the cats would be fine after eating the meat.

"This boar is likely a magical beast. I don't know if eating it will be safe, but I'll dismember it and store it. If it's edible, even as ordinary boar meat, it could sell for a lot. At forty yuan per pound, two thousand pounds would be eighty thousand yuan. The wood can be used for firewood. The broken stones and ceramic pieces will have to be hauled away by a truck to fill holes or pave roads." After making his plan, Su Jing began to dismember the boar.

It took nearly two hours, and the sky was completely bright by the time Su Jing finally finished dismembering the boar. He packed the meat in plastic bags, each weighing about fifty pounds, and there were forty bags in total. Su Jing's back ached, and he almost gave up. The boar's two tusks were kept as a souvenir.

Just as Su Jing was about to lie down on the grass to rest, he accidentally glanced at the ground and was almost scared out of his wits.

Su Jing's knife skills were not great, so when he dismembered the boar, meat scraps and bits were scattered everywhere. These scraps attracted various insects, and the ground was crawling with mantises, grasshoppers, and ants, creating a rather exaggerated scene.

Suddenly, a group of swallows flew out of the house, swooped down, and quickly ate the insects, then started pecking at the meat scraps, eating happily. Some even carried the scraps back to their nests, probably to feed their young.

"Woof woof..."

Two dogs crawled through a hole in the side of the yard. One was a black-and-white border collie with a bandage stained with blood, limping and looking lifeless, as if it could collapse at any moment. The other was a dirty, skinny stray dog that looked like it hadn't eaten in a long time.

As soon as they entered, the border collie started licking the meat scraps, while the stray dog, more aggressive, scared away the swallows with a bark and began to devour the meat, swallowing grass along with it.

Seeing this spectacular scene of a hundred animals fighting over the food, Su Jing was stunned.

He began to realize that the meat of this magical beast was not ordinary at all.
