27: Chapter 27 Killing the Wild Boar King
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked by its terrifying defensive power. Modern Compound Bows could not deal damage to this beast. If one were to encounter this creature without any large trees around, it would be certain death.
Seeing that these people's attacks could not break through its defense, the Boar King led the other wild boars and approached the large trees where the Exploration Team was standing.
"The draw weight of your Compound Bows is too low; you can't break through its defense. Attack those adult wild boars first; I'll find a way to deal with the Boar King."
The others had no choice but to choose to trust this Exploration Team captain.
The Boar King noticed that those attacks were starting to target the other adult female wild boars, and with significant effect, causing these wild boars to not dare to step forward due to the pain.
The Boar King had no choice but to take the lead itself. The first target it selected was the tree where the Incarnation was located, perhaps because it believed the Incarnation's previous attacks posed a certain threat. Thus, it first let out a few low growls at the other wild boars, then launched a fierce attack, rushing towards the large tree where Wang An was located. As it charged over, its massive body slammed into the evergreen oak.
Seeing its attack, the Incarnation immediately grabbed onto the main trunk of the evergreen oak.
A dull "bang" sound rang out.
The evergreen oak shook for a moment from the Boar King's impact, and the Incarnation clearly felt that this evergreen oak had tilted slightly, and the roots under the tree had also bulged up a bit.
Meanwhile, because of the Boar King's order, the other wild boars rushed to the trees of the other Exploration Team members and began digging at the ground beneath the large trees, wanting to push the entire trees over.
The Incarnation knew that this was not a solution. When the Boar King was charging at the tree where Wang An was, he took a compound crossbow out of his space and activated the skill [Precision] to predict the Boar King's next position.
He assumed the corresponding posture and pulled the trigger. This arrow shot directly into the Boar King's skull. Because of the sudden, intense pain, the Boar King stopped and let out bursts of painful wails.
It kept shaking its head, trying to fling out the crossbow bolt in its eye, but the crossbow bolt used this time had much more power than the Compound Bow's, and having already pierced into the Boar King's skull, it was not so easy to remove.
However, even with such massive damage, it did not end its life.
The Boar King realized that it couldn't shake off the bolt in a short time, and it prepared to flee.
How could he let this opportunity go? He immediately switched to a second compound crossbow, and with the skill, shot another arrow. This time, it shot directly into the Boar King's eye and pierced out the other side.
After losing its vision, the Boar King began to panic and run around aimlessly, or slam into the trees on the Exploration Team's side. This caused several large trees to tilt due to the other wild boars' digging. After the Incarnation attacked the Boar King, the team members were reminded to "hold onto the tree trunks," which prevented them from falling off from the shaking.
The rest of the wild boar pack scattered to avoid the Boar King's chaotic movements. Those that couldn't avoid it were either trampled underfoot or flipped onto the ground, and the ground was suddenly in a mess.
Once the others stabilized their bodies, they pressed the attack, continuing to strike at the Boar King. Only then did everyone realize that these terrifying wounds on the Boar King were all caused by this Exploration Team captain. Looking at the two fatal arrows sticking out of the Boar King, they all gasped, wondering how this captain had managed to do it.
The evergreen oak where the Incarnation was located was at the very back of the group, and he was also facing away from everyone when attacking, so everyone had no idea that the Incarnation was using a compound crossbow to attack, and he immediately put it away after using it.
He immediately turned around and used the compound crossbow against the Boar King, which was still in the middle of the group, continuing to attack its wounds. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot; the others followed suit.
As for those wild boars, upon finding the Boar King besieged by such focused fire and unable to do anything, they could only surround the Boar King with their bodies and drag it towards the distance. After firing a few more rounds of arrows, this group of wild boars finally dragged it away from the Exploration Team's shooting range.
The Incarnation was certain that this Boar King would have a hard time surviving because the injury had already reached the Boar King's brain. With this level of damage, only a miracle would allow for the possibility of recovery.
After the wild boar pack retreated, the Exploration Team finally climbed down from the trees. The area under the trees was a mess, and it had become very muddy due to being constantly trampled by so many wild boars. Previously, because the Exploration Team needed to climb the trees, everyone had taken off their backpacks.
Some of the tent poles inside might have been crushed, but fortunately, the ground here was relatively dry, and the food inside hadn't been soaked in water and was still edible.
By following the traces of the wild boars' retreat, the Incarnation confirmed the direction towards their nest. He immediately took out a map, directed everyone to run to the mountain in the north, and set a meeting point with them.
He needed to go check on the movements of this group of wild boars, the situation at their nest, and confirm their subsequent intentions. Amidst everyone's worried gazes, he urged everyone to act quickly to prevent the wild boar pack from returning.
He followed the direction of the wild boar pack's retreat and groped his way over. In a depression in the hills, there was a lush, large evergreen oak above, and below it was covered with dry grass, fallen leaves, and branches. The top was also composed of these materials, forming a rough "canopy." This must be the wild boar pack's nest.
Looking from afar, the massive Boar King was lying in the nest, with blood continuously flowing from the wounds where it had been shot by the arrows. Its entire body's aura was already extremely weak. The Incarnation observed carefully that beside this Boar King, there were also six black meteorites, two of which had no patterns and had already been used.
It seems this is a Boar King that possesses at least multiple jobs.
However, just as the Incarnation was thinking about how to lure this group of wild boars away to retrieve the job-change stones inside, he suddenly heard the Boar King let out a low roar. The Incarnation was somewhat surprised but discovered that among the four unused job-change stones, the patterns on one of them were gradually fading until they completely disappeared.
"I don't know what kind of job this wild boar ended up changing to, to be able to pull it back from a near-death state."
However, if that were the case, the Incarnation would certainly not allow this terrifying creature to continue living.
He took the compound crossbow out from his space, used the skill again, locked onto the target, pulled the trigger, and fired an arrow. It went directly into the brain wound he had shot previously, piercing through the entire brain in one go. The body's movements stopped immediately; it was dead as can be.
After confirming the Boar King was dead, the Incarnation packed up his things and climbed up a nearby large tree. Before long, a group of wild boars rushed out from this depression, looking everywhere for the person who had ambushed them.
Taking advantage of the wild boars leaving, the Incarnation snuck into the nest. Inside, there were still a few wild boars about to reach adulthood and one adult female wild boar.
As soon as they met, the Incarnation first used his Compound Bow to quickly fire three consecutive arrows, severely wounding them. He put away the Compound Bow and took out a machete, walking towards them.
