Chapter 8

"Mr. Cat, you are truly amazing!" As Catherine exclaimed in surprise, the three large wild boars had already fallen to the ground, and this had all happened in less than a minute since the first boar had burst out of the bushes.

"Indeed, even in this different world, my hunting skills are still reliable, meow!"

Seeing the three large wild boars lying on the ground, Wenlong couldn't help but feel proud.

Hunting three large wild boars in his first attempt made Wenlong have a clearer understanding of how to apply the hunting techniques he had honed in the game to this world. More importantly, this battle helped him adapt better to his current body. The biggest gain from this experience was learning how to hunt as an Ailu cat and how to utilize the unique skills of an Ailu cat, which differ from those of humans.

For example, this time Wenlong used the Ailu cat's more acute hearing to determine the position of the wild boars, something that had never been possible in the game. After crossing over to this world, Wenlong found that this method was indeed effective.

"Besides hearing, Ailu cats have a much stronger sense of smell and night vision than humans. Moreover, Ailu cats can climb trees and dig holes, which can be used more flexibly in hunting... I think it shouldn't be a problem to make up for the loss of my human body..."

With this successful experience, Wenlong began to consider how to maximize the use of his current body in hunting. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that being an Ailu cat might allow him to develop a unique hunting style different from that of ordinary humans.

"Oh, right, there are these three large wild boars. Stripping the materials from their bodies should be more than enough to make a good set of Ailu cat equipment, and the extra materials can be sold for some extra money..."

After thinking for a while, Wenlong turned his gaze to the three dead wild boars on the ground. Suddenly, he felt something was off.

"One, two, three... indeed, there are three large wild boars... but I remember the report said one of the boars had a wound on its back..."

Suddenly, Wenlong realized that none of the three boars had a wound on their back, which immediately put him on high alert!

"That's not right, there should be one more!"

The joy of victory had made Wenlong let his guard down. Now, he suddenly realized that the wounded boar had appeared behind Catherine.

"Hey, woman, watch out behind you!" Wenlong shouted loudly.

"Behind me?"

Hearing Wenlong's shout, Catherine finally reacted, turning around to see a large wild boar with an arrow wound on its back charging at her.

"Even though it's a surprise attack and time is tight, a hunter who can hunt a Kirin should be able to take down a wild boar easily, right?" Despite the urgent situation, Wenlong was not at all worried about Catherine's safety.

Based on his experience in the game, even if a wild boar is charging at you, a hunter has ways to dodge.

The simplest method is to roll to the side. Since creatures like wild boars charge with great force but cannot turn, their charge is always in a straight line. As long as the hunter isn't intimidated by the boar's momentum and performs the roll accurately, dodging such a straight-line attack is quite easy.

The second method is what a hunter like Catherine, who wields a greatsword, can do.

A greatsword is different from other hunting weapons because its blade is wide and thick, making it heavier than most weapons but also giving it defensive properties.

For example, with a charge from a wild boar of this magnitude, Catherine only needs to hold the greatsword in front of her. The thick and wide blade can completely block the attack. She can even use her strength to push the boar back! After all, a hunter who can wield such a heavy Kirin greatsword is certainly stronger than an ordinary wild boar!

Of course, there is a third method, which is the most difficult to execute: when the wild boar charges, directly swing the greatsword to kill it in one strike!

This method is the most difficult because the greatsword is much heavier than other weapons. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to suddenly draw the sword and attack in response to a surprise attack. This is why greatsword users generally dodge or use the thick, wide blade for defense. Compared to directly swinging the greatsword to counterattack, the first two methods are much easier to execute.

However, precisely because it is so difficult, this third method is the best way to showcase a hunter's skill! It's like a top martial arts expert; even showing their weakest skill is enough to surpass all other experts, clearly demonstrating their strength.

"Since she is a hunter who can hunt a Kirin, she shouldn't be limited to rolling or using the blade for defense. Directly using a draw cut to kill the charging wild boar is what a true expert should do!"

Wenlong thought this, eagerly anticipating Catherine's next move...

However, reality completely exceeded Wenlong's expectations.

When the wild boar charged at Catherine, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively covered her eyes with her hands, dropping the deep blue Kirin greatsword on the ground.

"No way..." This scene left Wenlong so shocked that his jaw almost hit the ground. "Is this woman really a legendary female driver... Her first reaction to danger is to cover her eyes?"

Until the end, Wenlong had hoped that Catherine would counterattack, but reality cruelly told him that this woman was a complete novice hunter. Although he didn't know how she obtained the Kirin set, it was clear from the current situation that she had not made it herself after hunting a Kirin.

"Smack!"

Seeing its companion killed, the enraged wild boar charged and knocked Catherine to the ground. Only then did Wenlong react.

"Oh no, this is bad... And what's going on? This so-called Kirin set isn't providing the expected defense. Otherwise, how could a wild boar's charge cause damage? Unless this Kirin set is..."
