The giant boar slammed headfirst into the tree trunk, making the entire tree shudder violently.
Nan Feng clung tightly to the branch, barely avoiding being shaken off.
"What incredible strength."
Nan Feng roughly estimated that this giant boar weighed at least a ton.
If it hit him even once, he would not be able to take it.
Eye of Insight!
Nan Feng looked at the boar beneath the tree and hurriedly activated his skill.
Bloodtooth Boar Level: 5 Health Points: 365/900 Mana Points: 60/180 Attack Power: 210 Defense Power: 160 Skills: Wild Boar Charge, Bite You Once
This was a level 5 ferocious beast.
Yet the Bloodtooth Boar's attributes were actually lower than those of the level 4 Ironclad Beetle.
"That Ironclad Beetle truly deserves to be called an elite ferocious beast. It can even challenge enemies above its level."
The level 2 elite ferocious beast, the Poison Marsh Toad, which Nan Feng had encountered by the pool yesterday, had attributes comparable to a level 3 ferocious beast. It had been extremely formidable.
"Right, where's that Ironclad Beetle?"
Nan Feng quickly focused his attention on the battle below.
The Bloodtooth Boar had just rammed into the tree and was now dizzy and unsteady, staggering so badly it could barely stand.
Meanwhile, the Ironclad Beetle had spread its massive pincers around the boar's neck and clamped down hard!
Tear Bite!
"Awooo~"
The Bloodtooth Boar let out a pig-slaughtering scream and crashed around everywhere like a headless fly!
Dust flew everywhere, and fallen leaves swirled through the air.
The Ironclad Beetle clamped tightly onto the Bloodtooth Boar's neck. The wound tore open, and pig blood gushed out.
The Bloodtooth Boar had entered a bleeding state!
"This boar's about to die. The Ironclad Beetle is freaking amazing—it can really challenge above its level?" Up in the tree, Nan Feng took out the Desert Eagle and considered whether he should steal the kill.
"The Ironclad Beetle still has over 200 Health Points. It has high attack and defense; I probably can't beat it."
"If I steal this kill, I'm afraid I'll die here too..."
It was too dangerous. Nan Feng did not want to risk himself for such a small amount of experience.
Unless the Bloodtooth Boar dropped equipment!
Nan Feng lay atop an arm-thick branch and watched the battle below with rapt attention.
This duel between ferocious beasts was about to reach its conclusion.
The Bloodtooth Boar had no way to deal with the Ironclad Beetle on its neck. It could only rage helplessly and roll around on the ground.
But at that moment, the situation suddenly reversed.
The Bloodtooth Boar rubbed itself frantically against the ground and actually scraped the Ironclad Beetle off!
The Ironclad Beetle's huge pincers still held a massive chunk of flesh it had torn from the Bloodtooth Boar's neck.
"Oink! Oink!"
The Bloodtooth Boar reacted incredibly quickly. It immediately opened its mouth and bit down viciously on the Ironclad Beetle with its blood-red tusks!
Bite You Once!
This was the Bloodtooth Boar's skill!
Nan Feng heard a crisp cracking sound from the tree.
The Ironclad Beetle's sturdy shell had shattered!
Nan Feng froze. "Holy crap? It turned the tables?"
The Ironclad Beetle had already been low on Health Points. That bite from the Bloodtooth Boar had also triggered Weakness Strike, instantly ending the Ironclad Beetle's life.
Ding!
A gray treasure chest appeared beside the Ironclad Beetle's corpse.
Nan Feng's eyes lit up from the tree, and he raised the Desert Eagle.
Nan Feng acted meekly when facing the Ironclad Beetle, but against the Bloodtooth Boar, he dared to strike hard!
That was because the Ironclad Beetle's shell had the effect of Super Defense, reducing damage by 50%. With Nan Feng's current attack power, he could not even break through its defense.
Of course, Nan Feng could use the Wooden Dagger to stab the Ironclad Beetle in areas not protected by its shell, but that would require getting close. The risk was too great, and Nan Feng had no desire to find out what being caught by those huge pincers felt like.
The Bloodtooth Boar, on the other hand, was much easier to deal with.
First, it was large enough that Nan Feng could hit it effortlessly from this distance.
Second, the Bloodtooth Boar had barely any Health Points left and was still bleeding. Less than a tenth of its strength remained.
Finally, Nan Feng was in a tree.
As everyone knew, pigs could not climb trees.
So Nan Feng was very safe.
With that thought, Nan Feng no longer hesitated and fired three shots in rapid succession!
-13! -14! -14!
All three shots hit!
The damage was low, but that was fine. Nan Feng still had plenty of Mana Points, so there was no need to panic.
"Awooo~"
The sudden attack enraged the Bloodtooth Boar.
It quickly spotted Nan Feng and charged at him again with all its strength!
Boom!
The Bloodtooth Boar rammed into the tree for the second time. The terrifying impact burst open the wounds on its body, and blood poured out without stopping.
"Stupid as a pig."
Nan Feng was delighted. He had not expected the boar to cooperate so well instead of running away.
Health Points: 125/900
Nan Feng glanced down at the Bloodtooth Boar's Health Points. It had only a little over a hundred left.
Continue firing!
-14! Weak Point Attack: -21! Weak Point Attack: -21!
The Bloodtooth Boar's injuries were too severe. Even if Nan Feng closed his eyes and fired wildly, he could still hit its weak points.
Thud! Thud!
The Bloodtooth Boar did not resign itself to death. It rammed the tree madly, trying to break it and bite Nan Feng to death.
But it had too few Health Points left and simply could not hold on.
Whoosh!
-14!
As Nan Feng fired his final shot, the Bloodtooth Boar let out an unwilling roar and died.
Ding! You killed a level 5 ordinary ferocious beast, Bloodtooth Boar, and gained 60 experience points. Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully reached level 4! Ding! Your Strength increased by 5 points! Ding! Your Agility increased by 5 points! Ding! Your Physique increased by 5 points! Ding! Your Spirit increased by 5 points! Ding! You gained 5 free attribute points!
"Finally, level 4!"
Hearing the system notifications, Nan Feng could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
The tree he was in had already begun to sway. If the Bloodtooth Boar rammed it a few more times, it really would have been knocked down.
Fortunately, it had been a close call without real danger...
Nan Feng jumped down from the tree and immediately looted the corpses.
Ding! You obtained Boar Meat ×5 Ding! You obtained Tattered Hide Leggings ×1 Ding! You obtained Shattered Iron Shell ×1
Level 3 Armored Beetles did not drop anything, but the level 4 Ironclad Beetle had actually dropped equipment for Nan Feng!
Sure enough, elite ferocious beasts were awesome. They were loaded!
Tattered Hide Leggings: Grade: F-rank, lower grade Type: Pants Attribute: Physique +2
These attributes were exactly the same as the Worn Leather Jerkin Nan Feng was wearing. It looked like they were part of a set.
Nan Feng swiftly put on the hide leggings. From a distance, he looked just like a savage.
Limited-edition outfit—Savage Nan Feng!
With another 2 points of Physique added, Nan Feng nodded in satisfaction before turning his attention to the treasure chest dropped by the Ironclad Beetle.
"Time to open it."
Looting corpses was just for fun. If he really wanted something fun, he had to open treasure chests.
Nan Feng rubbed his hands together and approached the treasure chest radiating a faint gray glow.
Open the chest!
Ding! You opened an F-rank gray treasure chest and obtained Crude Disassembler ×1
"Huh? A disassembler?"
Nan Feng looked at the device in his backpack, his eyes lighting up.
This little thing was kind of interesting!
