Chapter 28

The large wild boar, its fangs severed, rolled on the ground in agony. At this point, the boar had almost lost its ability to attack, becoming like pork on a chopping board, left to be slaughtered.

"Now, let me try how it feels to slice through the thick hide of this wild boar with these twin blades... meow." Wenlong said, raising the light bone twin blades again. He plunged one blade into the boar's throat to prevent it from making any painful cries, while the other blade pierced the boar's back.

He felt no resistance from the tough boar skin, slicing through it as easily as tofu. As the blade moved, the wound rapidly widened, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Soon, the unfortunate large wild boar lost its life.

"This feeling of ease is indeed different..." Wenlong confirmed to himself.

"Wow, Mr. Cat, we took one down." Catherine smiled happily.

"Good job, meow." Wenlong nodded in approval.

Wenlong was quite satisfied with Catherine's performance, despite her initial panic. In the end, she pulled herself together and skillfully used her strength to push the large wild boar to the ground.

This made Wenlong a bit curious.

"Hey, woman, weren't you scared all along? Why weren't you afraid at the end? Meow?"

"Because I saw the large wild boar about to step on you, Mr. Cat, so I thought I had to protect you from that big boar... I don't know how, but my body moved naturally..." Catherine explained, a bit embarrassed.

"Protect me? To block the boar's attack?"

Hearing Catherine's explanation, Wenlong was a bit puzzled. After all, in Wenlong's mind, there was no situation where he needed to be saved. But upon recalling the events, Wenlong understood.

When the large wild boar was about to step on Catherine, Wenlong rushed over and stood in front of the boar.

Of course, Wenlong's intention was to save Catherine at the critical moment.

Wenlong planned that if the boar really stepped down, he would step forward, instantly draw his twin blades, and stab them into the boar's abdomen, slicing through its body with the sharp blades. This would kill the boar on the spot, and at most, Wenlong would be splattered with blood.

Wenlong was confident he could do all this without getting hurt, thanks to his extensive experience from the game.

However, to the inexperienced Catherine, the situation looked different.

In Catherine's view, Wenlong, who hadn't even drawn his blades, suddenly rushed forward and almost got stepped on by the large wild boar. At this critical moment, Catherine forgot her fear and pushed the greatsword forward with all her might, blocking the boar's attack.

"Really... I was the one who wanted to save her, but this woman thought she saved me..." Wenlong couldn't help but smile bitterly after figuring out the situation.

So Wenlong said, "Meow, it's not your turn to save me yet..."

Although he said that, Wenlong couldn't help but feel a bit pleased.

Eliminating one large wild boar didn't mean the hunt was over. At best, it only slightly weakened the enemy's strength, as there was still a large wild boar king and its herd not far away.

Of course, this was already within Wenlong's expectations. To weaken the entire herd of wild boars as much as possible before hunting the boar king, Wenlong had prepared some special items.

"The remaining wild boars aren't too far away, so it looks like I need to use this... meow."

Wenlong said this while pulling out some brown mushrooms from his pocket.

These brown mushrooms were very common in the dark and shady Hermit's Forest, known as specialty mushrooms. They were delicious, loved by both humans and large wild boars. Some believed that the abundance of these delicious specialty mushrooms in the Hermit's Forest was why so many large wild boars gathered there.

So, for this operation, Wenlong had collected some along the way.

In addition to these mushrooms, Wenlong also brought some thin ropes and stones, tying the mushrooms and the stones together for weight, and leaving a long string on the other end, creating a lure for the wild boars.

"Huh? Mr. Cat, what's this for?" Catherine asked.

"You'll see, meow."

Wenlong didn't bother to explain much to Catherine. He just picked up the mushroom tied to the stone and threw it in the direction of the wild boar herd.

"Thud!"

The specialty mushroom, tied to the stone, landed right in front of a foraging large wild boar.

Soon, the wild boar was attracted by the delicious treat that fell from the sky and pounced on it without hesitation. Wenlong, of course, wouldn't let the boar succeed. He pulled the long string at the right moment, and the boar pounced into thin air!

"Wow, Mr. Cat, you're so smart!" Catherine couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Of course, it's no big deal for me to outsmart a pig, meow!" Although he acted calm, Wenlong couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

Every time the wild boar was about to pounce on the food, Wenlong would pull the string, pulling the specialty mushroom closer to him. The boar, completely mesmerized by the delicious treat, followed without hesitation.

Until the wild boar was far from the original herd.

"It looks like it's about time..."

At this point, the wild boar was only ten meters away from Wenlong and Catherine, and over eighty meters from the original herd, yet it showed no signs of caution, focused only on the tempting specialty mushroom.

In this situation, Wenlong felt that taking down the wild boar would be no problem. However, he thought it might not be necessary for him to do it.

"Let's let Catherine try again. It will give her more hunting experience," Wenlong thought.

"Woman, this wild boar is yours. Just like before, push it to the ground and then use your greatsword to finish it off. Can you do that? Meow!" Wenlong said to Catherine.

"Okay, Mr. Cat, this time I will hunt it!"

As she said this, Catherine's hands tightly gripped the greatsword.
