37: Saber-toothed Pig King

About a few minutes later.

Li Canglan finally encountered the first Sabertooth Boar.

That pair of saber teeth shooting up towards the sky must have been at least thirty or forty centimeters long!

The biting cold light flashing upon them could easily slice through ordinary protective gear!

Like ordinary wild boars, the Sabertooth Boar is an omnivorous Demonic Beast.

Therefore, upon encountering a human, it would also actively launch an attack.

Sensing the rich blood Qi on Li Canglan, the Sabertooth Boar drooled.

It scraped its hooves twice, then let out a low roar.

Like a small tank, it charged fiercely towards Li Canglan.

Li Canglan felt no fear in his heart; he drew his blade.

Watching the Sabertooth Boar charge forward with brute force, Li Canglan dodged to the side just as the distance was about to reach its limit.

Then, he infused his blood Qi and lightning into his battle blade.

Swish!

Like the Nine Heavens lightning raining down.

The battle blade slashed through and severed the Sabertooth Boar's pair of sharp saber teeth in one stroke.

"Roar!!!"

The Sabertooth Boar let out a shrill howl.

Without its saber teeth, it was just a slightly stronger wild boar.

Soon, it fell under Li Canglan's blade.

Li Canglan stepped forward and used his battle blade to cut off one of the Sabertooth Boar's ears.

The saber teeth were good Materials for crafting weapons; he couldn't bear to hand them over as proof.

Just as Li Canglan put the things away, a rustling sound echoed all around.

"I'm afraid the Sabertooth Boar's howl just now attracted other Sabertooth Boars."

Four Sabertooth Boars charged out from the bushes in all directions.

However, Li Canglan curled the corner of his lips, feeling the blood in his entire body boiling.

Fighting is exhilarating!

Only through fighting could his combat awareness and skills become stronger.

Instead of being just an ordinary Martial Artist with an empty Realm!

He gripped his blade and, instead of retreating, advanced, charging towards the nearest Sabertooth Boar.

As a one-star Demonic Beast, the Sabertooth Boar did not have a very complex thought pattern.

It only knew that its saber teeth were extremely sharp and could easily disembowel an enemy.

The Sabertooth Boar charged fiercely; Li Canglan knelt on both knees and performed a sliding tackle!

Thunderbolt Slash swept across its lower abdomen, creating a wound over a meter long.

Intestines and organs spilled out from the wound.

The rich scent of blood stimulated Li Canglan and the surrounding Sabertooth Boars.

Li Canglan laughed heartily and raised his blade to slash at another Sabertooth Boar.

These Sabertooth Boars were strong because they possessed both offense and defense.

But Li Canglan's damage output was sufficient to slay them.

With their speed, the Sabertooth Boars could not keep up with Li Canglan.

Slaying them posed no difficulty for Li Canglan.

A few minutes later, seventeen Sabertooth Boar corpses lay around Li Canglan!

These were all the Sabertooth Boars that had charged out from the surrounding bushes one after another.

Li Canglan stood in the middle of the mess, covered in blood.

However, not a single drop of the blood on him was his own!

Just as he wanted to harvest the saber teeth of these Sabertooth Boars, a roar that shook the mountain forest suddenly rang out.

Li Canglan's muscles and bones tensed up, and he watched the swaying forest in the distance with a stern gaze.

Before long, a behemoth nearly two meters tall and probably three or four meters long dashed out from the forest.

As the massive, mountain-like Sabertooth Boar ran, Li Canglan felt as if the ground itself were shaking.

A terrifying impact force rushed towards him, and for the first time, Li Canglan felt a trace of wariness.

Then, his blood Qi erupted.

A gentle breeze leaped beneath his feet, making Li Canglan's movements even lighter.

He flashed to the side, dodging the Sabertooth Boar King's attack.

Subsequently, he infused his energy into the battle blade and slashed down fiercely with Thunderbolt Slash.

Clang!

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

The Sabertooth Boar King let out a shrill scream.

Li Canglan felt a sharp pain in the web between his thumb and index finger, and he stumbled back a few steps.

"This Sabertooth Boar King's fur is too hard!"

At the moment of the slash, the Sabertooth Boar King's bristles suddenly stood upright.

The battle blade, even with Thunderbolt Slash, actually couldn't cut through the Sabertooth Boar King's bristles!

"This Sabertooth Boar King's strength has probably reached the Late Stage of one-star, no, it should be the Peak of one-star!"

After the Sabertooth Boar King stopped, it quickly turned around and continued to charge fiercely towards Li Canglan.

This was the habitat of their Sabertooth Boar tribe; in its eyes, Li Canglan, this human, was an intruder!

It was rare for Li Canglan to encounter an enemy evenly matched with himself.

He decided to use the Sabertooth Boar King as a whetstone!

For several minutes, Li Canglan and the Sabertooth Boar King circled each other, fighting intensely.

He could clearly feel his combat awareness constantly improving.

Bang!

Li Canglan gripped his battle blade, and Thunderbolt Slash collided head-on with the Sabertooth Boar King's tusks.

Both of their bodies were shaken back two steps.

"It's about time."

Li Canglan set aside the idea of continuing to stalemate with the Sabertooth Boar King.

He unleashed Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders at the beginner level.

The fierce wind made the forest rustle loudly.

With the help of the fierce wind, lightning as thick as a fingernail exploded with a boom at the base of the Sabertooth Boar King's saber teeth.

"Roar!"

The Sabertooth Boar King felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Immediately after, it saw a long, white tusk fly out into thin air.

It rolled its eyes downwards, wondering, "Where did my long saber tooth go?"

Immediately after, it saw that human with the blade charging towards it again.

The Sabertooth Boar King roared in anger, vowing to kill this person who dared to break its tooth!

However, Li Canglan had already fully mastered the Sabertooth Boar King's fighting habits.

He easily avoided the Sabertooth Boar King's charge.

After catching his breath, he unleashed Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders once again.

"Painless tooth extraction, you deserve it!"

A minute or so later, the Sabertooth Boar King's massive body slowly collapsed.

Even the ground shook as a result.

Li Canglan stepped forward and, as per usual, collected the Sabertooth Boar's left ear and saber teeth.

A dozen or so Sabertooth Boars were piled up into a small mountain.

To Li Canglan's surprise, the Sabertooth Boar King actually dropped a crystal core!

This was a brown crystal core, containing abundant energy.

However, the wilderness was clearly not a suitable place to absorb a crystal core.

Li Canglan could only put it away for now.

He roughly calculated that, just by exchanging the Demonic Beast ears.

He had already earned nearly 30,000 shen xia currency!

Not to mention the saber teeth from the Sabertooth Boar King and the ordinary Sabertooth Boars.

These were all valuable spoils of war!

No wonder they say it's easy for a Martial Artist to make money.

If this were back when he was working part-time at a milk tea shop, it would take at least a year to have any hope of earning this much money!

It's even more profitable than the Duel Arena, unless one can keep winning there!

This isn't just making money; this is faster than robbing someone!

The crystal core dropped by the Sabertooth Boar King filled Li Canglan with even more motivation.

"It seems now that among Demonic Beasts of the same species, those with greater strength might have a higher probability of dropping crystal cores."

However, the sample size was too small, and this was just Li Canglan's guess.

Li Canglan immediately prepared to continue searching for other Demonic Beasts.

But after calming down a little, he found himself in a dilemma.

The Sabertooth Boar King's teeth were too long!

The snake-skin bag still had space, so it could fit them.

But he couldn't keep carrying the snake-skin bag around; that would be too troublesome.

And rushing back to the city gate to settle up would be too much of a waste of time.

Li Canglan thought for a moment and decided he could only find a place to dig a hole first and bury the Sabertooth Boar King's teeth.

He would retrieve them when he came back.

There was no blood on the saber teeth, so they wouldn't attract other Demonic Beasts or Martial Artists; he didn't need to worry about them being stolen.

After burying everything, Li Canglan continued forward.

After about a few minutes, he had slain another dozen or so Demonic Beasts.

Just then, he suddenly smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance drifting from afar.
