Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 39: Boar Killer

"Uh-hem! Hmph, hmph, hmph!!!"

The Long-Spiked Boar, upon seeing Shi Yu and Eleven, had already decided which part of them to eat first.

Saliva dripped from its mouth, its eyes shone with light, and its strong, powerful limbs restlessly stomped the ground.

Boar Rush!

This was not a skill, but a simple, headlong charge.

The Long-Spiked Boar first locked onto the unknown bear cub, which it perceived as a greater threat, and barbarically charged with its tusks raised.

"Be careful not to let its tusks touch your body, otherwise you'll be petrified. Also, its attack method is mainly headlong charges."

Shi Yu used telepathy to briefly instruct Eleven, then immediately retreated to a tree to watch the show.

This boar was nearly two meters long. Compared to Eleven's nearly one meter, it was a behemoth. As it charged, Eleven experienced a completely different feeling from its previous battle against the Ice-Armored Beast.

The Long-Spiked Boar's charging speed was no slower than the Ice-Armored Beast's, and in terms of strength and physique, it was even more threatening.

For Eleven a week ago, perhaps it could only resist with full-body hardening or hastily dodge, but now...

Standing on two legs, Eleven's black and white fur swayed in the wind. With extreme concentration, a bright glint flashed in its eyes.

Intermediate skill, Super Vision!

Under the proficiency of Super Vision, Eleven's visual ability was strengthened to the limit, its dynamic vision was extraordinarily excellent.

At this moment, in its eyes, the whole world seemed to slow down. The seemingly fierce Boar Rush combined with petrifying tusks attack slowed down many times in Eleven's eyes.

Its vision could clearly capture the enemy, naturally leaving Eleven more reaction time.

Bang!!!

Because the Long-Spiked Boar's movements were mainly headlong charges, it was difficult to change direction during the charge. Taking advantage of this, it was actually easy to dodge the attack and then counterattack.

As the Long-Spiked Boar charged over, Eleven simply sidestepped, successfully dodging!

Huh? Where's the prey?

Sensing in an instant that the prey had disappeared from sight and its charge had missed, the Long-Spiked Boar was utterly bewildered.

The next moment, the side-stepping Iron-Eating Beast reacted with unusual speed, launching a counterattack. After all, it had begun practicing in its mind after seeing the Long-Spiked Boar's attack pattern. At this moment, its bear paw was instantly covered in hardening, directly striking the Long-Spiked Boar as it passed by!

Crack!!

The hardened bear paw made contact with the spikes on the boar's body, and the spikes immediately snapped. Then, a huge impact came from the side, causing the Long-Spiked Boar's insides to churn as it sensed something was wrong.

"Ugh—"

With a painful cry, the Long-Spiked Boar's momentum from the charge combined with Eleven's impact, causing the huge Long-Spiked Boar to roll diagonally.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo—"

After being knocked over and falling in a daze, the Long-Spiked Boar kept rolling on the ground. The pain prevented it from getting up. Its expression was terrified. The food was hitting it!

"Eleven, finish it off."

As an excellent Beast Tamer, Shi Yu always taught his pets some excellent qualities.

Under his command, Eleven immediately switched to all fours, taking steps with its left front paw and right hind paw simultaneously, charging at the boar with a slight pigeon-toed gait, looking even fiercer than the previous Boar Rush.

Harden, head, Iron Head!

Using the force of its charge, Eleven directly hardened its head and made intimate contact with the Long-Spiked Boar's head. With a "bang," the Long-Spiked Boar's eyes rolled back, completely knocked unconscious.

"Green Silkworm, tie it up."

Shi Yu opened his backpack zipper, and a reluctant little green worm came out, using silk to bind the huge boar.

Soon, a Long-Spiked Boar worth 350 points, with a growth level of seven, was easily hunted by Shi Yu and the others.

"Sure enough, the combat power isn't on the same level."

Shi Yu looked at the Long-Spiked Boar tied up with white silk and had a new understanding of Eleven's combat power.

It seemed that… the only things that could pose a threat to Eleven in this state were probably those few small Bosses with a growth level of ten.

This kind of Long-Spiked Boar with a single attack pattern was directly countered by Super Vision and Hardening!

However, if it were Chen Kai's Ice-Armored Beast, Shi Yu felt that even if he could win in a one-on-one fight, he would have to put in a lot of effort.

"Awoo woo woo~~!!"

At this time, Eleven was in the joy of defeating the Long-Spiked Boar. Shi Yu directly bent down, picked up one end of the silk thread, and threw it to Eleven.

"Your favorite training session is here. Drag your spoils of war and move forward with weight."

Eleven: ∑(o_o;) !

Eleven thought that defeating the Long-Spiked Boar was the end. It never expected that the boar's body could also be used as a training prop.

As expected of its Beast Tamer, so thoughtful.

Eleven excitedly gripped the silk thread, dragging the boar with a "rumble," its expression expectant, curious about what awaited it ahead.

"Let's continue deeper."

After confirming the Long-Spiked Boar's combat power, Shi Yu confidently led Eleven into the Boar Forest, intending to cross it.

At this moment, at the nearest safe zone, in a monitoring room, a staff member browsing the monitors suddenly noticed something was wrong. He quickly zoomed in on a monitoring screen.

"Brothers, someone's already made a kill over here."

"A trainee Beast Tamer has already taken down a Long-Spiked Boar and entered the Boar Forest alone."

"Alone?" The surrounding security personnel, hearing his words, immediately leaned over to look.

In the overhead view transmitted by the mechanical bird, an Iron-Eating Beast cub was dragging the body of a Long-Spiked Boar with white rope, following beside Shi Yu.

A man and a beast, bold and skilled, entered the Boar Forest, which was marked as having a certain degree of danger on the map.

"That Iron-Eating Beast… judging from its size, it seems to be a cub? Its growth level shouldn't exceed seven. How did it easily defeat the Long-Spiked Boar?"

The reason for saying "easily" was because Eleven was now leisurely dragging the boar and walking.

If it had been a hard-fought victory, the first thing Shi Yu and the others should have done was to take the relatively safe road marked on the map, enter the safe zone, exchange the boar for points, and rest. Instead, they were dragging a boar deeper into its territory.

"Didn't see it." The security personnel who first noticed Shi Yu and the others said.

With so many screens, how could he have noticed Shi Yu and the others from the beginning?

"Keep a close eye on him first. It's somewhat dangerous to enter the Boar Forest alone, but as long as they're smart enough to climb trees, the Long-Spiked Boars won't be able to hurt them." One of the security personnel said.

Shi Yu and the others were among the first batch of examinees to have a major harvest, which led them to receive special attention from the security personnel in the nearest safe zone.

Soon, under their observation, Shi Yu went deep into the Boar Forest and stealthily found several Long-Spiked Boars gathered together.

Hiding behind a tree in the distance, Shi Yu and Eleven looked at the four Long-Spiked Boars foraging in the forest ahead, revealing different expressions.

Shi Yu was thinking about whether Eleven could fight four at once… The little Iron-Eating Beast was wondering why Shi Yu wasn't letting it charge yet.

"Eleven, do you want to give it a try? You have proficient Hardening and can fight with full-body hardening. They shouldn't pose a threat to you."

With proficient Hardening and Super Vision, Shi Yu felt that there was no problem, after all, these boars had simple movements and their growth level wasn't high.

"Awoo!!!" Eleven's wildness also came out.

1vs4!

Sounded exciting!

"Okay, then. I and the Green Silkworm will cheer you on from behind the tree. I'm counting on you…" Shi Yu encouraged.

Eleven deflated. Alright then.

Next, Eleven put down the dragged boar spoils, left Shi Yu and the others, and walked alone towards the group of Long-Spiked Boars.

"Holy crap, how dare they."

This action caused the security personnel in the safe zone monitoring room, who were paying attention to Shi Yu, to shout immediately.

His yell once again attracted the attention of other security personnel in the room.

"What's wrong?"

"That trainee Beast Tamer with the little Iron-Eating Beast, his Iron-Eating Beast is charging at four Long-Spiked Boars alone!"

"What? Are they crazy?"

The group of security personnel looked over with a "whoosh." How could there be such a reckless examinee?

Even a level ten pet would have difficulty facing four Long-Spiked Boars alone.

Next, under their watchful eyes, Eleven entered the sensing range of the four Long-Spiked Boars.

"Uh-hem hmph hmph!!!!"

"Hmph!! Hmph!! Hmph!!"

An unknown creature was approaching, and it was a bear-like creature resembling a natural enemy. The four Long-Spiked Boars immediately showed vigilant gazes.

However, after discovering that Eleven was just a small cub less than a meter tall, their hearts immediately underwent some changes, just like the previous Long-Spiked Boar.

What's going on? Where did this guy come from? Is it for us to have an extra meal?

The four Long-Spiked Boars were still in the observation stage, but at this moment, something unexpected happened to them.

The little Iron-Eating Beast in the distance suddenly stretched out two hands, pulled open its mouth, and made a face as a provocation.

"Bleah bleah bleah bleah~~~~"

Eleven's tactical taunt.

"Holy crap." The security personnel were even more shocked.

Courting death?

"Uh-hem hmph hmph!!!!"

"Hmph!! Hmph!! Hmph!!"

The four Long-Spiked Boars simultaneously launched a Boar Rush, sharp tusks stabbing at Eleven.

Since the four boars were charging from different directions, Eleven's Super Vision hadn't yet reached the point of being 360° without blind spots, so it didn't dare to be careless and directly hardened its whole body!

In an instant, a metallic luster filled its entire body!

The black fur areas had an incomparably deep metallic texture, and the white fur areas hardened like dazzling silver. After completing the armor, Eleven howled and, in the same way as it had fought the previous boar, directly knocked the first boar that approached it with a side slam.

The next second, the second boar collided with Eleven's body, but this Long-Spiked Boar only felt like it had crashed into a large lump of steel. It didn't know what the enemy was feeling, it only knew that its tusks seemed to be shattered.

"Awoo—" The second boar screamed, and Eleven, who had accidentally been hit, was certainly not injured. The opponent hadn't even broken its defense, it only added a little bit of harmless earthy matter to the hardened area.

However, the huge impact still caused Eleven to stagger directly, its body pushed out a bit.

Because of being hit, Eleven's wildness was aroused, its expression was particularly serious, and it directly pounced on the boar next to it, knocking it over with a collision.

Then, it looked around fiercely and cutely, searching for the remaining enemies.

As for the remaining two Long-Spiked Boars, because they were initially farther away, they failed to make contact with Eleven in the first instance, which led to the combat range being occupied by the two earliest boars.

During this process, they clearly saw how their two companions were defeated by this little thing that had suddenly turned into a lump of steel.

"Awoo—"

At this moment, they had no intention of continuing to fight. The creatures in the wild were very realistic. If it wasn't a dead end, their first reaction when encountering a strong enemy would definitely be to run.

However, Eleven didn't intend to give them a chance to escape. It locked onto one of the turning Long-Spiked Boars and fearlessly rammed into it, scaring the boar to yell and jump up while running away.

"Holy crap."

This was already the third "holy crap" in the safe zone monitoring room.

The four security personnel surrounding the monitoring screen looked at the screen with incredible gazes, rubbing their eyes hard.

Wait a minute, they… they didn't see it wrong, did they???

An Iron-Eating Beast cub, facing four Long-Spiked Boars, defeated two in two moves, and then scared the other two into fleeing and chased after them?

It was a boar killer!

"Proficient Hardening? Who is this examinee?" One of the security personnel suddenly said with a serious expression.
