Chapter 35

Once upon a time, when Wenlong was still playing the game, he always believed that to become an excellent hunter, one needed not only to have proficient skills but also to be "good at seizing the right moment."

Back then, Wenlong often practiced his timing by wielding a large hammer to battle the Rathalos. The large hammer, like the greatsword, has a special three-stage charge attack. Although it is extremely powerful, it has the significant drawback of a long startup time and slow execution! What Wenlong had to do was use this slow and delayed charge attack to counter the Rathalos, which charges at an extremely high speed, and successfully stop its "Dragon Charge" halfway!

To achieve this, the most important thing was to grasp the timing. When the Rathalos was still a considerable distance away, he would start charging. When the Rathalos was just about to reach him, the large hammer would be ready to strike, accurately hitting the Rathalos' head, causing massive damage!

Since the "Dragon Charge" is extremely fast, this was very difficult. If the hammer fell even a little too early, the Rathalos would not have approached yet, and he would be knocked away by the Rathalos before he could retract his hammer. If it fell a little too late, he would be knocked away by the Rathalos before he could even strike.

In short, it required very precise timing. Any slight miscalculation would make it impossible to succeed.

To practice this timing, Wenlong spent a considerable amount of time in the game and managed to do it without making mistakes.

However, the game is the game, and reality is reality. In real life, using this ability is much more dangerous. In the game, the worst that could happen is a retry, but in real life, it could cost him his life. Because of this, even an experienced hunter like Wenlong was unwilling to take such a risky action.

But now, Wenlong decided to give it a try.

He carefully watched the charging Great Boar King, focusing all his attention on it. The Great Boar King's speed seemed to slow down, allowing Wenlong to clearly see every movement of the rapidly moving Great Boar King.

Theoretically, when the Great Boar King charges, its frontal destructive power is the greatest. Not only does it have a pair of long, sharp, and hard tusks that can easily pierce a human body, but the massive impact of its charge is also extremely damaging.

However, even a frontal attack is not invincible. Because the Aelucat is small, if it charges through the gap between the tusks, it is possible to avoid the tusks and attack the Great Boar King's most vulnerable spot!

And this is what Wenlong seized upon.

As the distance between them closed, they finally came to close quarters. Seizing the moment, Wenlong took a step forward, slightly leaping, and passed right through the gap between the tusks!

From the side, it looked as if Wenlong's body was pierced by the Great Boar King's tusks, but from above, it was clear that the tusks narrowly missed him, grazing his body!

"Right now, meow!"

Having bypassed the tusks, Wenlong extended his claws, aiming for the Great Boar King's bloodshot eyes! No matter how tough the Great Boar King's hide, its eyes had little defense!

Two flashes of cold light, and Wenlong could clearly feel his claws piercing into the Great Boar King's eye sockets. Instantly, the Great Boar King's eyes were covered in blood, but at the same time, Wenlong was knocked over by the charging Great Boar King!

"Meow!"

The impact from the Great Boar King's charge sent the smaller Wenlong flying. But Wenlong knew this was the best result he could achieve.

Wearing the leather armor made by Grandma Ruisi from Great Boar materials, Wenlong was protected by the Great Boar's soul. In this situation, as long as he avoided being pierced by the tusks, other injuries should not be fatal. On the other hand, the Great Boar King, not expecting Wenlong to attack from the most dangerous front, was injured in the eyes and, from the extent of the injuries, would likely not recover its vision.

The blinded Great Boar King roared and rampaged through the forest, unable to catch its target. Wenlong, who had been knocked away, flew over ten meters and hit a tree before falling to the ground.

"Phew!"

Falling to the ground, Wenlong spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, the direct hit from the Great Boar King had injured his internal organs. If not for the cushioning effect of the leather armor, the injuries would have been much worse.

"Is it a lung injury... This is not good... meow..."

Wenlong tried to move his body and found that all his joints felt like they were dislocated, making "creaking" sounds. Especially his left arm, which seemed to be dislocated, causing intense pain.

"Fortunately, it's just dislocated, not broken. This is not bad... I still have some Healing Medicine G... It was a good decision to keep a few bottles instead of selling them, meow!"

Despite his injuries, Wenlong knew this was not a major problem. Using his right hand, he took a bottle of Healing Medicine G from his pocket, tore off the cap with his teeth, and drank the contents. Soon, he felt his condition improve significantly.

"Oh, the Healing Medicine G has a similar effect on the body as in the game. It works immediately, no wonder it sold so well, meow!"

After drinking the Healing Medicine G, Wenlong could clearly feel his body healing. The pain in his chest and the dislocated arm gradually subsided until they felt normal again.

Before long, Wenlong's body was almost back to normal, while the Great Boar King, having lost its eyes, continued to rampage through the forest, knocking down countless trees in its path.

"This is very dangerous, this mad boar... But now that it's blind and can't tell directions, with the wounds from the two light bone knives still bleeding, it's just a spent force... Just wait a bit, and this mad boar will be exhausted, or even die from blood loss..."

"Since that's the case, I'll go find Catherine first. I hope she's okay. I can come back later to deal with this mad boar king... It shouldn't take much effort then, meow!"

With that, Wenlong quietly circled around the Great Boar King and ran in the direction Catherine had fled. The blind Great Boar King, now powerless to stop Wenlong, could only roar in anger...
