Chapter 125 - 122: Wild Boarman Secret Passage

Hang Yu was accompanied by zombies and a Husky.The Husky had eight jackal followers with it.

They didn’t take the road up the mountain but found a stream at the foot of the mountain and followed it upstream to a small creek valley.

The Husky saw the mountain stream cascading down from above, forming a small waterfall that pooled into a small pond. Aside from that, there was nothing else here.

Why did the boss bring the dog here? Did he suddenly feel like taking a bath?

"There’s a cave here."

Hang Yu stepped into the pond.

The deepest part of the water barely reached his waist, so an adult could walk through directly. However, Er Gou, who was only fifty centimeters tall at the shoulder, had to dog-paddle across.

Hang Yu led the Husky through the waterfall.

An extensive and mysterious cavern appeared in front of them.

"Wow, boss, boss, this is unbelievable, just like Monkey Sun’s Water Curtain Cave!"

Er Gou shook off the water from his fur, sending droplets flying everywhere. As he shook, the eight jackals also came in one after another. The Husky sniffed the air, then widened its eyes, "Aw, boss be careful, there’s a monster scent."

"I know!"

Hang Yu stood in front of a place-name stele.

This place was called "Wild Boar Man’s Secret Passage."

Actually, the Wild Boar Monster Ridge had a large cavernous space. These natural caverns were interconnected, and the Wild Boar Man’s Secret Passage was formed on this basis.

Through this passage, one could reach the mountain peak outpost directly.

This was why Hang Yu didn’t meet up with Old Zhao and the others; he didn’t see the need to exhaust himself climbing mountains when he could use this secret passage to reach the top. This wasn’t just a shortcut but also avoided various traps.

However.

The secret passage was not entirely safe either.

Many Wild Boarmen roamed here.

Hang Yu’s plan was crazy and simple. He wanted to reach the mountain before the elites of the three camps and planned to take down the Wild Boar Man outpost before Old Zhao and the others arrived.

That’s right!

Hang Yu planned to do it alone.

Take down the Wild Boar Man Mountain Peak Outpost!

"Wow, boss, boss, even if we can reach the top through the passage earlier, can we really take down the entire outpost?" Er Gou sniffed again, "I can already smell a very strong monster presence!"

Wang Ergou’s doubts and worries weren’t unfounded.

The Wild Boarmen were not only fierce but had high health and defense.

Even ordinary Wild Boarmen were hard to deal with, not to mention several elite Wild Boarmen!

Hang Yu, Er Gou, and the few level 2 jackals were likely insufficient even for appetizers for these Wild Boarmen.

"This isn’t something a dog should worry about," Hang Yu told the Husky, "Your current task is to use your radar function to find all the monsters in the passage for me, remember, all of them."

Wang Ergou couldn’t figure it out.

However, Er Gou had a strong point.

He wouldn’t force himself to think about things he couldn’t understand.

"Sure, boss, don’t worry, Er Gou-brand Husky radar, reliable quality, trusted brand."

"Stop joking, go!"

The Husky immediately led the way.

As Hang Yu searched for monsters, he checked his status.

He had 173 points of Spiritual Qi currently, and it only required 500 points to level up from 4 to 5.

If it weren’t for maxing out the scout’s three skills, he would already be close to level 5 now.

The current amount of Spiritual Qi was still far from leveling up.

Hang Yu decided to use it to upgrade his Fierce Strike.

Fierce Strike was currently his most potent close combat skill, but it also required quite a lot of Spiritual Qi to upgrade; from level 1 to 2 needed 50 Spiritual Qi, and from level 2 to 3 needed 100 Spiritual Qi.

Isn’t it just 150 Spiritual Qi?

Spend it!

[Fierce Strike]: Fighter’s Legacy Fragment, Skill Level 3, consumes 5 points of Spiritual Power, deals a fierce attack to the target, amplifying strength by 150%, increasing attack speed by 50%, weapon attack amplification by 20%, with a chance to cause knockback, dizziness, and crippling effects. Skill cooldown time 8 seconds.

Level 3 Fierce Strike could explode with a 150% enhancement in strength!

Additionally, attack speed increased by 50%, and weapon power increased by 20%!

Although it could only generate one attack, if executed well, it could deal two to three times the damage of a normal attack, and if equipped with strength equipment or a high-attack weapon, the single hit damage could be far more than triple!

This was a very powerful burst damage skill in the early stages.

Although Hang Yu was still level 4.

He could basically sweep through others at the same level.

"Wow, boss, there are four monsters ahead, all very powerful, and one is an elite."

Hang Yu told Er Gou to be quiet.

He stealthily approached and indeed discovered them.

These are four large, robust Wild Boarmen!

The Wild Boarmen are a Fatty race, the whole tribe being big fatties.

Their height is only slightly taller than humans, but their weight is generally five times that of a human. They walk upright, with big bellies, having arms and legs, roughly resembling humans, except they have a fierce wild boar head on their neck, revealing two ferocious boar tusks.

At first glance, they are full of wildness.

Looking extremely fierce.

Their bristles are all dark red.

Three of the Wild Boarmen have shabby equipment, only wearing a pair of oversized ragged shorts, holding a huge Wolf Fang Club in their hands.

One of the Boar Chiefs is extraordinary, standing nearly two meters tall, bigger than the other three, dressed in armor, holding a shield in the left hand and an axe in the right, mighty and imposing.

A Red Wild Boar Warrior.

Three ordinary Red Wild Boarmen.

Wild Boarmen are divided by their fur color, the common ones being: Red Wild Boar, Cyan Wild Boar, Black Wild Boar, White Wild Boar, etc. Often, their color indicates their abilities.

The Red Wild Boarmen have high life points and defense.

The Cyan Wild Boarmen have high agility and speed.

The Black Wild Boarmen have very high strength and attack.

The White Wild Boarmen are a relatively strong breed, with all their stats - life defense, agility speed, strength attack - being quite high, and they are all Elite Monsters one hundred percent.

This time, they encountered Red Wild Boars.

The Red Wild Boarmen are relatively easier to deal with.

But even so, the aura emanating from them still scared Er Gou out of his wits, his dog’s head almost shrinking into his abdomen.

These are level 5 monsters!

Er Gou can control at most eight level 2 jackals at a time.

The combat power of eight jackals combined would probably not equal that of two ordinary Red Wild Boarmen, let alone the presence of an Elite Red Wild Boarman!

How do they fight this?

The gap in strength between the two sides is considerable!

"The three ordinary Wild Boarmen are yours. I don’t expect you to take them down, just distract them," Hang Yu ordered Er Gou. "As for the Elite Wild Boarman, leave it to me!"

"Awooo, boss, are you sure you want to take this risk?"

"Your boss doesn’t like taking risks, only doing things with certainty. Stop babbling, get on with it!"

"Okay, boss!"

The Husky hid away.

Eight little jackals jumped out.

Jackals are no match for the Wild Boarmen.

However, the jackals’ movement speed is decent, and the Red Wild Boarmen are the slowest of the Wild Boarmen, so just maneuvering shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

The four Wild Boarmen spotted the jackals.

The Red Wild Boar Warrior let out a low roar, swinging his Large Double-Bladed Axe through the air, unleashing a three-meter blade light from the axe, instantly striking a jackal.

The jackal had no chance to dodge.

It was cut in half directly!

Er Gou’s fur was almost scared off him.

But at this moment, Er Gou noticed the boss taking out several clumps of green stuff, isn’t this the Slime Mucus the boss collected in large quantities!

When Slime Mucus is collected, they are wrapped in a fragile film, and if the film breaks accidentally, the Energy Mucus will leak, with an adhesion even stronger than superglue, so it must be used carefully.

A few rustling sounds.

Clump after clump of green mucus balls were thrown over.

The Red Wild Boar Warrior was quickly splashed with viscous liquid.

The adhesion of Slime Mucus is extremely strong. Although it wouldn’t stick the immensely powerful Elite Wild Boarman, it would at least affect its speed.

Being splattered with sticky liquid isn’t pleasant.

The Red Wild Boar Warrior was furious and charged toward Hang Yu’s position. Even with its speed affected, a level 5 Elite is still a level 5 Elite, not to be underestimated.

Even monsters of the same level have their strengths and weaknesses.

The Wild Boarmen are undoubtedly top-tier monsters, not to mention the Elite Red Wild Boar, even the ordinary ones have life points reaching 80.

The space here is quite narrow.

Facing the Boar Warrior head-on is too dangerous.

Hang Yu wasn’t keen on having close contact with a sticky fatty.

After throwing the sixth Slime Mucus, he immediately drew out a flying knife with red patterns on it. This wasn’t an ordinary flying knife, but a "Low-level Secret Fire Flying Knife" bought from the Corpse Witch Alchemy Stele.

With a light flick of the hand.

Level 3 Enhanced Throwing activated!

As soon as the flying knife left the hand, it burst out with incredible kinetic energy.

The patterns on its surface quickly dissolved, the blade ignited with a brief burst of flame, tracing a red trajectory, and hit the Wild Boar Warrior.
