Chapter 27

"Damn idiot, open your eyes quickly! You need to keep track of the enemy's movements! Meow!" Wenlong shouted loudly, but it was already too late!

"Bang!"

The wild boar's tusks collided with Catherine's giant bone sword, producing a rather dull sound. The intense impact forced Catherine to take several steps back, disrupting her defensive stance. In contrast, the wild boar's speed rapidly slowed down.

"This woman, to mess up at such a critical moment... She shouldn't be weaker than the wild boar in terms of strength..."

Even if someone is very strong, the importance of posture cannot be ignored. With Catherine's strength to wield a giant sword with one hand, she should have been able to block the wild boar. However, due to the panic caused by fear, her center of gravity became unstable. Additionally, the wild boar charged from a distance, adding the inertia from continuous acceleration to its own strength, resulting in Catherine taking several steps back.

Wenlong didn't have much time to complain. To help Catherine master hunting skills, he needed to quickly restore her composure.

Thinking of this, Wenlong immediately took action. He jumped onto Catherine's back, climbed to her shoulder, and shouted loudly in her ear.

Because he was so close, his voice sounded like thunder.

"Idiot, quickly get back into position! The enemy's second attack is coming!"

"Ah, sorry, Mr. Cat!"

"Don't apologize, look ahead!" Due to his excitement, Wenlong didn't even say "meow" as he saw the wild boar charge at them again.

This time, Catherine didn't have time to regain her balance. She could only lift the giant sword with an unstable center of gravity to block the wild boar's attack. As a result, her body tilted again. Although she barely blocked the wild boar's attack, she fell to the ground.

"This is bad."

Wenlong felt a sense of foreboding. The wild boar, seeing Catherine sitting on the ground, raised its front hooves and stomped down on her. The scene seemed to replay the crisis they had faced before.

"Whether she can overcome her fear of the wild boar depends on this moment..."

"Meow, there's no way out, don't think about running. Quickly raise your sword to block the attack!"

Wenlong shouted loudly while placing his hands on the handles of his dual blades, ready to act at any moment.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Catherine counterattacked. She supported herself with her left hand on the ground to avoid being crushed by the wild boar, while her right hand swung the giant sword to block the wild boar's front hooves.

"This woman, she actually blocked it with one hand. This wild boar weighs over 400 pounds, plus the weight of the sword... To hold it with one hand is simply incredible... meow."

Wenlong was genuinely shocked by the scene.

"This woman was so scared she couldn't even open her eyes, and only managed to do so after I shouted. I didn't expect her to make such a surprising move at this critical moment... She's not hopeless after all..." Wenlong thought.

He put his dual blades back into their sheaths. He wanted to see how far this woman named Catherine could go, so he chose to wait and observe the situation.

"Mr. Cat... I did it, I blocked the wild boar!" Catherine said excitedly.

"Good, that's it. Take this opportunity to stand up and try again, meow!" Wenlong encouraged her.

"Okay, Mr. Cat."

Catherine temporarily avoided danger, but it didn't mean the danger was over. After retreating a few steps, the wild boar launched another attack.

Wenlong was relieved to see that with the experience of blocking the wild boar's attack, Catherine had become much calmer. Although she still seemed a bit nervous, at least she didn't lose her composure before making a move.

Seizing the moment when the wild boar retreated to prepare for another charge, Catherine quickly got up and resumed her defensive stance.

Her movements were perfect, and there was nothing to criticize. More importantly, Catherine's eyes became more determined, without the previous panic and indecision. This reassured Wenlong.

"Bang!"

The wild boar charged again. As Wenlong had predicted, this time Catherine perfectly blocked the attack and, using her strength, pushed the wild boar to the ground.

At this moment, a smile of relief appeared on Wenlong's face.

Without giving the wild boar a chance, Wenlong rushed forward. The wild boar, lying on the ground, found it difficult to get up, so it couldn't make any counterattacks or defenses as Wenlong approached.

Under normal circumstances, Wenlong would have attacked the wild boar's weak points, such as its thinner and less protected belly or its neck, which would cause immediate heavy bleeding. Attacking these weak points would ensure a one-hit kill without any doubt. However, this time Wenlong did not do so.

Wenlong chose the hardest part of the wild boar, its two tusks, and swung his dual blades at them.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the wild boar's two tusks instantly fell off. The blades of the light bone dual blades remained intact, and at this moment, Wenlong achieved his goal.

"Indeed, it's the work of Grandmother Ruizi. The sharpness and hardness have improved so much compared to before! Meow!"

Looking at the two tusks on the ground and their smooth, flat surfaces, Wenlong couldn't help but admire.

Wenlong knew that these two short blades were made from the wild boar's tusks, but after being polished, forged, and treated with various special processes, their strength and sharpness far exceeded those of ordinary wild boar tusks!

Especially the surface of these two short blades, which had a coating that could refract light. This coating was said to be made from a sticky liquid extracted from white ants, which could seep into the tiny gaps in the bone and crystallize inside, thus enhancing the blade's strength and sharpness.

With so many processes and Grandmother Ruizi's exquisite skills, it was no wonder that the light bone dual blades made from the wild boar's tusks could easily cut through the tusks themselves.
