152: Chapter 152 Wild Boar Charge

The wooden shaft steel arrow used by Xiao Niao was crafted by Hu Gualing, who had cut the arrowheads off the original practice wooden arrows and replaced them with steel arrowheads. Although they were only of green quality, their sharpness and lethality were top-notch. However, because the materials of the arrow shaft and fletching were average, they could not quite support the weight of the steel arrowhead, which resulted in a loss of some accuracy and lethality during long-distance shooting.

However, the Black Wild Boar before them was right in front of them, so naturally, there was no issue of the arrow flying too far and having its lethality weakened.

Moreover, this wild boar was charging fiercely. In just a few seconds, it had rushed from dozens of zhang away to right in front of them. The force accumulated under the effect of acceleration had reached a terrifying level. Even if it were to crash into a rock or a tree, it would be dizzy for a good while due to the reaction force, let alone facing a sharp, steel-crafted arrowhead heading straight for its face now.

The arrow and the wild boar were both rushing toward each other with great speed. When the wild boar sensed the arrow flying toward it, it reacted, but only had enough time to tilt its head slightly and close its eyes to prevent the arrow from hitting a vital part head-on; it was simply unable to change its Charge direction to completely avoid the arrow.

Without any surprise, the arrow struck the wild boar's face fiercely.

- 34!

A large, blood-red damage number popped up above the wild boar's head.

Seeing this damage number, Xiao Niao could not help but feel encouraged. Because when he had shot that Ostrich earlier, he had only dealt - 5 damage, so he still had some doubts about his own attack capability in his heart, fearing that if he shot an arrow, he would not even be able to break through this wild boar's defense.

However, it seemed that the game Fantasy Jianghu was as realistic as ever. Although his own base attack power was quite low, this arrow was less of him shooting at the wild boar and more of the wild boar crashing into it voluntarily. As long as the arrowhead was sharp and hard enough, the greater the force of the wild boar's Charge, the greater the damage it would sustain itself, which was why he was able to deal a high amount of damage, reaching 34 points.

Looking at the wild boar's face now, although it had just tilted its head slightly to avoid a vital spot, the wooden shaft steel arrow had still struck its cheek inevitably. And because the angle of the wooden shaft steel arrow was slightly slanted, combined with the immense force contained in the wild boar's own Charge, the interaction made the wooden shaft steel arrow seem invincible, tearing a large chunk of flesh right off the wild boar's cheek and flying far behind the wild boar, disappearing without a trace.

The wild boar's entire massive body seemed to pause for a moment. On its cheek, a Bleeding, mangled mess of flesh remained, looking extremely terrifying, which made Xiao Niao tremble with fear.

At the same time, the wild boar's health bar appeared, and below the health bar, an abnormal status effect appeared: Bleeding!

Xiao Niao himself had not expected that this arrow could cause such severe damage to this Black Wild Boar. Looking at the terrifying wound on the wild boar's cheek, even he, the one who had caused the damage, felt extreme pain!

Furthermore, this terrifying wound also caused a Bleeding status effect on the wild boar. While causing the wild boar to keep Bleeding and continuously lose health points, it was bound to affect its actions as well.

"It's steady, it's steady, this time it's finally steady!"

Just as Xiao Niao was excitedly thinking that they were finally secure this time, he discovered that the wild boar let out a low, angry snort from its nose. Its charging momentum paused for only the blink of an eye before it continued to rush toward Hu Gualing, who was standing at the very front of the three of them, with undiminished force. The large amount of dust kicked up by its four hooves hitting the ground and the wild boar's body, which was almost a blur within the dust, all indicated that the wild boar's mobility was no different from before it was hit by the arrow.

"This is a chunk of flesh torn off by an arrow, right? Even with thick skin and flesh, it shouldn't be able to keep going without even stopping, right? That's unscientific... This is just too unscientific!"

Just as Xiao Niao was full of surprise and doubt, forgetting what to do, Hu Gualing, who was bearing the brunt of it, had already felt the strong wind brought by the wild boar's Charge hitting his face. His whole body could not help but tremble. Of course, this was not because he had been scared to the point of wetting himself by the wild boar that was rapidly magnifying in his pupils; although he was a bit nervous at this moment, it was more of a tremor caused by the inner excitement of facing a battle.

When facing a battle, Hu Gualing's brain was always exceptionally good, and his thinking was very agile. Sometimes he even felt like a different person. For example, at this moment, with the wild boar right before his eyes, he still had the presence of mind to analyze in his brain: the wild boar had been scraped by the steel arrowhead, causing such a severe wound. According to the realism of this game, the wild boar should be in a lot of pain right now. Just like when he first encountered that Bloodthirsty Wild Dog, he had punched out most of its canine tooth, and the Wild Dog had been in so much pain that it let out a shrill howl that could be heard from miles away. The pain that the wound on this wild boar's cheek should bring ought to be much more profound than the Wild Dog breaking most of its tooth, yet the wild boar had not even let out a single cry, only letting out a low snort from its nose to express its anger. The momentum of its Charge had only paused for a moment before it continued to rush over aggressively, as if that steel arrowhead had not torn off a large chunk of flesh from its cheek, but had been deflected without even piercing its pigskin, causing only a painless, itchy injury that had no significant impact on its actions.

"Could this be the ability granted to the wild boar by the Fearless prefix—not fearing pain?"

As Hu Gualing thought this, the sharp aura contained in the wild boar's tusks was already pressing upon his face. At this moment, he finally moved!

He saw his whole body fall to the side, his legs kicked out with force, and his entire body curled into a ball. With his two palms pushing against the yellow sand and soil, he nimbly rolled away from right under the wild boar's nose. After getting up and standing firm, the wild boar was still a bit bewildered: "Where is the person? Where did that person from just a moment ago go?"

Hu Gualing chuckled: "It worked!"

When he was performing the combat analysis in his mind earlier, he had determined that the wild boar's Charge could not be blocked by the three of them. Even if they wanted to dodge, given the wild boar's speed and the fact that the wild boar would lock onto its target and adjust its Charge route, it would be very difficult to avoid. The only one with a chance to dodge was him, the combat Genius who had self-comprehended the [Lazy Donkey Roll] skill. That was why he had voluntarily stood out; he had not expected it to actually succeed!

Now that he had dodged, the wild boar would definitely be stunned upon losing its target. Even if it wanted to launch another Charge, it no longer had the dozens of zhang of distance to build up its charging momentum, so even a head-on defense was no longer completely without a chance.

Hu Gualing thought this and turned his head to see just how stunned the wild boar was at this moment.
