Tusk Mountain Boar Ambush

Huuu... huuu...

Heavy breaths were constantly exhaled from the massive form.

This was a colossal creature covered in black fur, its size at least a full circle larger than the African elephants Lin Sheng had seen in his previous life.

Its dense black fur resembled countless upright black steel needles, shimmering with layers of cold, black luster under the sunlight.

Two tusks, like enlarged javelins, protruded from its ferocious maw, still bearing traces of dark red bloodstains that hadn't yet dried. Coupled with the low roars emanating from its cavernous mouth and a pair of red eyes glinting with bloodlust, it exuded a profound sense of awe.

"This is the Tusk Mountain Boar!!"

Seeing the giant wild boar less than 50 meters away, Lin Sheng couldn't help but be shaken, despite having prepared himself mentally.

With such imposing presence, even if this Tusk Mountain Boar wasn't a Spirit Beast, it was undoubtedly among the most formidable of ordinary beasts.

At this moment, the Tusk Mountain Boar's scarlet eyes scanned its surroundings, its nose twitching continuously. Soon, its gaze locked onto a large rock, about the size of a millstone, not far away.

Upon the rock lay a rock sheep, its abdomen cut open.

The blood flowing from its belly had stained the entire rock a deep red.

The Tusk Mountain Boar paused only for a moment before striding directly towards it.

Despite its massive size, it was incredibly clumsy and lacked much intelligence, showing no suspicion as to why a dead rock sheep would be present in its territory.

Even if it sensed something was amiss, it paid no mind, for it was the undisputed ruler of this region.

Crack!

The Tusk Mountain Boar's gaping maw bit off the rock sheep's entire head in one go. In two or three bites, it crushed the hard skull and then voraciously devoured the remaining limbs of the rock sheep.

The hunters from the Hunter's Hall watched the bloody scene unfold motionlessly.

The rock sheep had been stuffed with a large amount of tranquilizer. The reason they didn't use poison was that many animals possessed a keen ability to discern poisonous herbs. Therefore, to be safe, the Hunter's Hall often used tranquilizers to weaken the combat capabilities of these exotic beasts.

To deal with the Tusk Mountain Boar, this batch of tranquilizer was personally prepared by Wang Sanyang. It was said to have been acquired at a considerable cost from Lin'an County City, and its effects were several times stronger than ordinary tranquilizers.

In this manner, the entire rock sheep was consumed by the Tusk Mountain Boar, with more than half of it gone in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The Tusk Mountain Boar, seemingly having eaten its fill, stopped gnawing on the remaining part of the rock sheep. It then flipped over onto the ground and began to snore loudly, soon followed by the sound of robust snoring.

The group waited for another incense stick's duration. Seeing that the Tusk Mountain Boar was completely asleep, a crisp bird call sounded from the branches of a treetop. Following that, Wang Sanyang gently landed, with the several Body Tempering realm martial artists from the Ninth Squad close behind.

The group slowly approached the Tusk Mountain Boar, their footsteps incredibly light, making not a sound. Each of them held a sharp blade glinting with a cold, chilling light.

Reaching the Tusk Mountain Boar, they aimed their blades at its vital weak points and struck fiercely almost simultaneously.

With a thwack, the clear sound of flesh being torn was heard, followed by the Tusk Mountain Boar's pained, extreme wails.

In an instant, the Tusk Mountain Boar, which had been sound asleep, sprang from the ground, letting out piercing roars towards the sky.

Its current state was quite miserable. Its left eye had become a bloody cavity, with bright red blood gushing out like a fountain. In addition to that, its ears, neck, abdomen, and hind legs bore numerous wounds, from which large amounts of blood continued to pour.

Yet, despite suffering so many injuries, the Tusk Mountain Boar did not fall. Instead, it became even more frenzied and violent.

Its sole remaining blood-red eye swept hatefully around, searching for the culprit that had harmed it.

Meanwhile, Wang Sanyang and the others did not linger after their initial strike. They swept up a large amount of leaves to conceal their figures, retreated rapidly, and hid themselves within the bushes tens of meters away.

They were well aware of the Tusk Mountain Boar's weakness: its lack of speed and agility. Now that it was heavily wounded, all they had to do was wait patiently until its blood loss rendered it completely incapable of resistance.

However, they had underestimated the Tusk Mountain Boar's vitality. Even after suffering severe injuries, it still appeared full of vigor. Instead, its massive body began to thrash wildly, causing destruction.

The ancient trees close to it were broken in just a few collisions.

After felling several trees, the Tusk Mountain Boar showed no signs of stopping. In fact, the pain seemed to make it even more berserk.

"This is bad. It seems we underestimated this beast."

Watching the Tusk Mountain Boar's frenzied actions from not far away, Wang Sanyang's brow furrowed deeply.

He knew that the Tusk Mountain Boar possessed extremely tenacious vitality. He had participated in a mission to hunt down a Tusk Mountain Boar before, and the method used to successfully kill it then was similar to this. The current one was considerably stronger than the previous one, so he had anticipated that it might take longer to deal with this Tusk Mountain Boar.

But he hadn't expected this Tusk Mountain Boar to be so much more troublesome than he imagined. After all this commotion, it still showed no signs of fatigue.

Furthermore, judging by its wild actions, if this continued, it might endanger the other hunters nearby. And that wasn't the most critical issue. The most crucial point was that if the Tusk Mountain Boar regained its senses, it might escape. Capturing it then would undoubtedly be more troublesome. Moreover, if the Tusk Mountain Boar attracted other powerful exotic beasts, their mission would absolutely end in failure.

With this thought, Wang Sanyang decided not to remain hidden any longer. As a team captain, he was a decisive individual. He immediately let out a fierce roar.

"Everyone, throw your iron spears!"

Upon hearing Wang Sanyang's command, several hunters close to the Tusk Mountain Boar raised their iron rods and hurled them towards the boar.

Several whistling sounds cut through the air, followed by the clear sound of blades sinking into flesh.

The iron spears Wang Sanyang referred to were the standard iron rods each hunter carried. They were called spears merely because one end had been sharpened.

However, at this moment, the hunters had mostly concealed themselves among the surrounding ancient trees, tens of meters above the ground.

Furthermore, these hunters were all skilled practitioners who had at least reached the Initiation stage of the Raging Bull Fist, possessing significantly more strength than ordinary people. From their high vantage point, throwing with all their might greatly increased the impact force.

Even with the Tusk Mountain Boar's thick hide and considerable defense, it couldn't completely withstand such an impact.

A total of 7 iron rods were thrown, and a full 5 of them hit the Tusk Mountain Boar, leaving wounds on its body.

Roar!

Injured once again, the Tusk Mountain Boar let out an enraged roar towards the sky. Its previously frenzied movements faltered, and its massive body staggered, nearly falling to the ground. However, its thick hide and vitality far surpassed that of ordinary exotic beasts.

It quickly got back on its feet. Although its movements were much slower than before, it still carried an indescribable ferocity and madness.
