Chapter 7

After confirming the task, Wenlong and Catherine began their journey to hunt. According to the testimony of the witnesses, the large wild boars that had ravaged the crops came down from the Shimelon mountain path. After damaging the fields of several farmers, these large wild boars returned to their original habitat, the Dawn Wind Valley. The task given to Wenlong and Catherine was to enter the Dawn Wind Valley and hunt the large wild boars that had ravaged the crops.

"According to the information from the witnesses, there are three large wild boars in total. They went to the village's fields last night and destroyed the crops completely. However, one of the large wild boars was injured on its back when the village hunters came to drive them away..."

Wenlong and Catherine walked on the rugged mountain path while confirming the information they had gathered from the villagers about the task.

"Three large wild boars... If we can separate them and defeat them one by one, it shouldn't be a problem. However, if they come together, it could be a bit troublesome... Speaking of large wild boars, although their individual combat strength is not strong, if they are present on the hunting ground while hunting other large monsters, a hunter should prioritize eliminating the large wild boars on the battlefield..."

Thinking about this, Wenlong couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories from the past. Once, when hunting a female fire dragon, Wenlong had underestimated the large wild boars, leading to a surprise attack from behind by a large wild boar...

"In any case, I will take care of these three large wild boars, meow!" Wenlong said to Catherine as they walked.

In Wenlong's mind, he did not consider Catherine as a combatant. After all, this was Wenlong's first hunt to test and showcase his hunting skills. Moreover, Wenlong firmly believed that a hunter who could wear the幻兽麒麟装 (Phantom Kirin Armor) could easily deal with three large wild boars.

"Mr. Cat... Can you handle three large wild boars?" Catherine asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why don't you believe me? I can see the disbelief on your face. You're underestimating my strength. Just wait, I'll show you the spirit of a hunter right away!"

Saying this, Wenlong quickened his pace and took the lead.

The Dawn Wind Valley was the nearest hunting ground to Mirard Village and was a favorite among novice hunters. The valley was lush with trees and abundant with water and grass, and a massive silver waterfall hung from the mountain wall. The most common prey here were herds of spirit deer, and occasionally some small monsters wandered around. The overall strength of the monsters was not high. Of course, it was said that large beasts had been sighted in the depths of the valley...

"Large wild boars that often steal crops from the village wouldn't hide deep in the Dawn Wind Valley. They should be around here..."

Wenlong thought about the most likely location for the large wild boars while carefully examining the footprints on the ground.

As Wenlong had expected, he soon discovered a series of large wild boar footprints. From the depth of the footprints, it was clear that they had been left recently, meaning the large wild boars were nearby!

"Mr. Cat... Why did you stop?" Catherine asked curiously when she saw Wenlong stop.

"Shh..." Wenlong signaled Catherine to be quiet. He lay on the ground and perked up his ears, carefully sensing the vibrations around him.

Identifying the type of monster by sound was not a skill Wenlong had used in the game, but rather a skill he had automatically mastered after transforming into an Ailu cat. After all, as a type of cat, Ailu cats had far superior hearing, smell, and night vision compared to humans. Since crossing over to this world, Wenlong had realized that effectively utilizing the advantages of his current body was a key factor in successful hunting!

So this time, Wenlong decided to use this opportunity to test the capabilities of his body.

Soon, Wenlong heard rustling sounds. He knew that these were the sounds made by the large wild boars as they moved through the bushes.

"Are they here? From the sound, there are three... Indeed, it matches the description in the witness reports... The direction is to my side and rear..."

Determining the position of the large wild boars by sound alone made Wenlong feel somewhat proud. All he needed to do now was get into a fighting stance and wait for the prey to appear.

The sound of fur brushing against the bushes grew louder, and Wenlong knew the large wild boars were getting closer...

"They're here! Meow!"

As Wenlong shouted, a large wild boar indeed burst out from the bushes. Without waiting for the boar to react, Wenlong launched his attack!

Wenlong leaped high and landed on the back of the large wild boar. The boar, which had just burst out of the bushes and hadn't had time to assess its surroundings, was taken by surprise. It only reacted when Wenlong was already on its back.

"Hmph..."

The large wild boar tried to throw Wenlong off, but before it could make a move, Wenlong struck first. His sharp claws sliced across the boar's neck, and a gush of blood spurted out.

"First prey, hunt successful!" Wenlong jumped off the boar and created some distance between them.

Wenlong didn't bother with the boar anymore, knowing he had severed its neck artery. Even if left alone, the boar would soon die from blood loss. Although it was still struggling, it was just its final moments.

So Wenlong turned his attention to the other two large wild boars.

Unlike the first boar, the remaining two boars charged out of the bushes right behind the first one. Wenlong couldn't ambush them as they burst out, so he had to face them head-on in a one-against-two battle!

"Come on, let me see if your weaknesses are the same as in the game..."

Seeing the two boars charge, Wenlong didn't panic. Instead, he stood still and carefully observed their movements.

The two boars charged at Wenlong from the left and right. Just as their tusks were about to hit him, Wenlong finally made his move.

This time, instead of jumping onto the boars' backs, Wenlong rolled forward, slipping through the gap between the two boars.

"Being small has its advantages, meow!"

The two boars clearly didn't expect Wenlong's move and couldn't stop in time, colliding with each other like two trains heading in opposite directions.

The two boars had used all their strength to charge, so the collision left them dazed and disoriented. Wenlong, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately charged forward!

"Thud!"

Two more gushes of blood spurted out as Wenlong's sharp claws tore open the neck arteries of the two boars.
