Chapter 32

"Ha ha, a pig is still a pig, no matter how smart it is, it's just at this level."

Seeing the tusks of the large wild boar king also stuck in the tree trunk, unable to move, Wenlong felt a sense of satisfaction.

Now, Wenlong felt that as long as he jumped down from the tree branch, he could jump onto the back of this large wild boar king, and then use the dual knives in his hands to cut the large wild boar king's neck artery! Once this large wild boar king was taken down, the remaining large wild boars' combat effectiveness would naturally be greatly reduced, turning them into a disorganized mob.

Of course, Wenlong knew that many things looked simple but were not easy to execute in reality.

For example, the large wild boar king was covered in thick pigskin, and because it often rolled in the mud and scraped against tree bark, the pigskin of the large wild boar king was thicker and harder than that of ordinary large wild boars!

In such a situation, some hunters would use weapons to attack the large wild boar king, but not only did they fail to injure the large wild boar king much, their weapons would be deflected by the tough outer skin!

This situation is called "deflection"!

When playing games, Wenlong had experienced the deflection situation, where the dual knives in his hands would hit the harder parts of the monster, not only failing to cut in but also being deflected by the huge counterforce.

In such a situation, not only would the damage be reduced due to not cutting into the monster's more vulnerable parts, but the counterforce causing the weapon to deflect would also easily create an opening in the hunter's attack, making it easy for the hunter to be counterattacked by the monster! Therefore, whether in the game or in real life, the situation of "deflection" that is disadvantageous to the hunter should be avoided as much as possible.

"But, wasn't the whole point of going to great lengths to have Grandma Ruisi forge my equipment to deal with situations like this? With the current weapons... dealing with a large wild boar shouldn't result in deflection..."

An excellent blacksmith can improve the grade of weapons, and the higher the grade of the weapon, the less likely it is to deflect. So even to cut through the large wild boar king's outer skin, Wenlong had enough confidence!

However, before Wenlong could act, he soon realized that the situation seemed to be getting a bit out of hand. Because from the bottom of the tree trunk, there came a "squeak... squeak..." sound.

"It can't be, is it the sound of the tree trunk breaking? This is a giant tree that would take three people to hug, meow!"

Although he found it hard to believe, Wenlong's body immediately sprang into action. Sure enough, the next second, Wenlong felt the tree's center of gravity tilting.

"Meow, what the heck! It really got knocked down!"

While cursing, Wenlong sped up, and as the sound of the tree trunk breaking grew louder, the tree's tilt became more severe. Fortunately, Wenlong reacted quickly and finally, at the moment the tree completely fell, he leaped onto another tree.

"Fortunately, there are many trees around here. Otherwise, if I had fallen just now, it would have been troublesome. Whether I would have died or not aside, landing in the middle of a group of large wild boars would definitely not be a good thing... meow..."

As soon as Wenlong's body landed on the branch of another tree, he heard a huge noise behind him.

"Rustle... boom!"

First, there was the rustling sound of the tree branches rubbing against the branches of other trees, then the booming sound of the entire tree hitting the ground. For a moment, Wenlong felt the entire earth trembling!

And the large, muscular body of the large wild boar king shook, as if intentionally displaying its robust body and its tusks, which were as sharp as long spears, in front of Wenlong!

"This large wild boar king is really tough... if I couldn't climb trees, I would probably be in trouble..."

Wenlong's thoughts were cut short when he suddenly saw the large wild boar king charging towards him again.

"Bad! Meow!"

This time, before Wenlong could jump away, he felt a strong vibration. Although he managed to grab the tree trunk with his claws to avoid falling off, his gradually tilting body still told him that the tree was falling!

It turned out that in his panic, Wenlong had no time to choose a direction to escape and had jumped to the nearest tree from the one that had just fallen.

However, what Wenlong didn't notice was that the trunk of the tree he was now on was much thinner compared to the thousand-year-old, thick tree. So, unlike the thousand-year-old tree that took some time to slowly fall, this thinner tree almost immediately fell when hit by the large wild boar king!

And this time, even if Wenlong reacted quickly, he could not avoid falling with the tree.

"Meow, what the heck, wow!"

As he fell, Wenlong felt for the first time the superior aspect of being an Ailu cat compared to a human.

That is, when falling from a height, cats are less likely to be injured compared to humans! This law that applies to cats on Earth also applies to the Ailu cats in this world!

Falling with the tree, Wenlong's body was thrown heavily and landed on the forest floor covered with fallen leaves and mud. Due to inertia, his body rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping.

"I, I'm not injured? Meow?"

As soon as he stopped, Wenlong quickly got up from the ground and carefully checked every part of his body, but found that everything was normal, with no pain or discomfort.

Wenlong knew that although falling from a height of seven or eight meters was not a big deal for a cat, because he was not yet familiar with some of the abilities of the Ailu cat body, he did not land correctly. This led to him rolling several times on the ground in a very awkward manner.

However, even so, Wenlong was not injured at all, and the feeling was like flipping over on a spring bed at home, abnormally light.

"Not only the weapons, but Grandma Ruisi's forged armor is also very sturdy and fits well, meow."

Wenlong couldn't help but praise Grandma Ruisi's blacksmithing skills in his heart.

However, the crisis was not over. As Wenlong fell with the tree, the large wild boar king and its subordinates had already surrounded him, encircling him in the middle.

Wenlong silently gripped the dual knives in his hands and scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eye, noticing that under the leadership of the large wild boar king, this group of large wild boars also showed a certain level of organizational ability.

The large wild boars, including the large wild boar king, formed a circle around Wenlong. The distance between these large wild boars was roughly the same, although there was still some space, it seemed to be within controllable range.

That is, if Wenlong wanted to slip through the gap between two large wild boars, he would probably be blocked by their swinging tusks.
