The last possibility was that this Human tribe had quite a few members, perhaps dozens or even over a hundred. They had paid a heavy price in casualties to surround and kill Suihou's squad.
That was the only way Wind Wolf could imagine a Human tribe wiping out Suihou's squad.
Of course, there was another possibility: Suihou's squad hadn't been killed by Humans, but had encountered some other danger.
The Humans had picked up the Wolf Tooth Club after Suihou's squad died.
But that possibility was extremely unlikely.
Wind Wolf lay hidden in the grass, planning to follow these Humans and find out more about their tribe.
The five people hunting the wild boar were the hunting squad led by After Three Rounds of Drinks.
Their squad had two Strength Class players, two Constitution Class players, and one Agility Class player.
The two players holding the ropes were the Strength Class players After Three Rounds of Drinks and Kakashi.
After completing the mission to lure the Jackalmen yesterday, their entire squad had received 100 experience points. Kakashi and the others, who had originally been only level 2, had gone straight up to level 3.
After Three Rounds of Drinks was already level 3 and needed only a few dozen more experience points to reach level 4.
He had taken a hunting mission first thing that morning and headed out to hunt.
Killing prey earned experience, and completing hunting missions earned experience too. If he was lucky, he could reach level 4 today.
He'd become the first level 4 player in the whole server!
"Damn it, can you three put some effort in? I can't hold on much longer!"
After Three Rounds of Drinks gripped the rope tightly, swaying from side to side as the wild boar dragged him along. He was putting every last ounce of strength into it.
The rope had already cut bloody marks into his palms.
Luckily, he'd turned the pain setting down to one percent. Otherwise, he would've let go from the pain long ago.
A level 3 Strength Class player had a Strength Value of 13, but even that seemed pitifully weak against this wild boar.
"Exactly! It's just a wild boar. How many times have you hit it without killing it? What, are you impotent?"
Kakashi chimed in.
He was struggling too. He'd nearly been flung away just moments ago.
Hearing their complaints, the three people attacking the boar weren't pleased.
"Damn, 'just a wild boar'? Easy for you to say! Its hide's thicker than a city wall. The moment this stone spear goes in, it gets stuck. I can barely tickle it!"
Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang said as he desperately attacked the boar with his stone spear.
He was an Agility Class player. Even though he was already level 3, his Strength Value was only 8, so his attacks didn't do much damage.
"Exactly! I've smashed it with this Wolf Tooth Club how many times now, and it still isn't dead!"
The Constitution Class player Pi Pi Xia gasped.
He'd swung the Wolf Tooth Club at the boar's head so many times that its head had turned red, but it still wouldn't die!
What was he supposed to do?
He even suspected that if he dropped dead from exhaustion, the boar would still be bouncing around, full of life.
If the Strength Class players After Three Rounds of Drinks and Kakashi could attack it, maybe they'd have a chance—but they couldn't hold the boar in place!
Constitution Class players had high defense and strong recovery, but they definitely weren't as strong as Strength Class players.
"Tao Tao, quit stabbing it randomly. You're not even getting through its defense. Try stabbing its butt. That spot's usually pretty tender."
Kakashi suggested.
"Damn it, don't call me Tao Tao!"
Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang protested.
"Sure, Tao Tao."
Kakashi readily agreed.
"Yeah, try stabbing it in the butt. In the videos I've seen, hyenas always go for the anus when they hunt. It never fails."
Pi Pi Xia joined in.
"Fine, I'll try!"
Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang took the suggestion in stride and circled behind the boar with his stone spear.
He aimed for the middle of its rump, waited for the right moment, and thrust.
If a player from another class had tried it, they might not have been able to land a hit while the boar's rump twisted around during the fight.
But Agility Class players excelled at quick reactions, speed, and precision.
The thrust was fast and accurate, hitting the bull's-eye.
The boar let out a shrill scream, so pitiful that anyone who heard it would be heartbroken, and anyone who saw it would weep.
Hidden in the grass, Wind Wolf couldn't help clenching his own cheeks, unable to bear the sight.
"Haha, I got it! I got it!"
Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang shouted excitedly after landing the hit.
Struck in a vital spot, the boar let out another shrill scream, its eyes turning bloodred.
It turned around and fixed its bloodred eyes on Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang, the one who'd attacked its vital spot.
Its eyes were full of rage, humiliation, hatred, embarrassment... all kinds of emotions.
With an angry roar, the boar dug at the ground with all four hooves, unleashing potential it had never shown before.
Like a war chariot charging at full speed, it rushed toward Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang.
"Damn, I can't hold it!"
After Three Rounds of Drinks and Kakashi felt an immense force tugging on the rope. They couldn't hold on any longer and were dragged to the ground.
"Damn it, hold on to it!"
Seeing the boar charge toward him, Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang's expression changed. He turned and ran.
But the boar had picked its enemy. Dragging After Three Rounds of Drinks and Kakashi along the ground, it chased Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang with wild abandon.
As a level 3 Agility Class player, Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang had an Agility Value of 13, so he was naturally very fast.
Normally, the boar probably wouldn't have been able to catch him.
But an enraged boar was another matter.
The enraged boar burst into a speed it had never reached before! Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang, whose Agility Value was as high as 13, couldn't outrun it at all!
In just a few seconds, the boar had caught up with him and rammed its head at his backside.
Its sharp tusks pierced straight in.
His flower shattered, his butt in tatters...
Chi Tao Tao Hao Liang Liang screamed as the charging boar knocked him to the ground.
Having avenged itself, the boar let out a loud, triumphant howl, as though it had fulfilled some sacred duty.
Then its body tilted, and it fell to the ground.
After having its head battered repeatedly by the Wolf Tooth Club, it had already been at death's door.
That last charge had merely been a final burst of strength, a last-ditch effort to avenge its violated backside.
With its great revenge accomplished, it breathed its last.
After Three Rounds of Drinks and the others hurried over. Looking at Chi Tao Tao, impaled on the boar's tusks, they tried to hold back their laughter—but in the end, they couldn't.
"Pfft—hahahaha! I'm dying!"
"The first person in the game to get his ass gored! Hahahaha..."
"The system has to give you an achievement for this!"
The four teammates gathered around Chi Tao Tao, laughing so hard they could barely stand.
"You bastards, that's enough!"
Chi Tao Tao flew into an embarrassed rage.
The physical pain was secondary. It was only set to one percent, after all. But his teammates' laughter had dealt severe psychological damage.
He wanted nothing more than to bury his head in the ground.
"Haha, Tao Tao's already in this state and you're still laughing? Have you no humanity? Pfft—hahahaha! Hurry up and pull him out!"
After Three Rounds of Drinks braced his hands on his knees, laughing as he scolded his teammates.
Then the four of them worked together to pull Chi Tao Tao off the boar's tusks.
"Don't worry, Tao Tao. I'll carry you back to the tribe and make sure you get proper treatment!"
Pi Pi Xia declared confidently.
"Carry your sister! Just kill me already—right now!"
Chi Tao Tao yelled.
If he had to go back to the tribe like this, he'd rather die!
Dying would only mean waiting twenty-four hours to respawn. Going back to the tribe would mean social death.
Social death was practically permanent death.
He could already picture the tribe's bunch of animals seeing his injuries and bursting into mocking laughter!
