186: Chapter 186 Another Battle Against the White Boar

Hu Gualing tensed his muscles and walked into the attack range of the Mutated White Wild Boar. Seeing the muscles on the Mutated White Wild Boar's waist move, he, already having considerable experience, immediately retreated two steps to dodge. Just as he stood steady, a pig leg, like a rolling log, indeed swept past him with a gust of wind and dusty air.

"Whew. That was close."

Having dodged the Mutated White Wild Boar's attack, Hu Gualing let out a breath, but his heart did not relax in the slightest.

Because 'Pig Leg Sweep', which was clearly a skill the Mutated White Wild Boar would only use when below half health, was now being used while the Mutated White Wild Boar was still at full health. Did this not mean it had entered the second stage right after Resurrection?

Moreover, judging by the movement speed of the Mutated White Wild Boar and the strong wind brought by its pig leg, neither its speed nor its strength had been weakened in the slightest after this BOSS's Resurrection.

Health points... speed... attack power... none of them were weakened, and it even started off in the second stage...

It turned out that this Mutated White Wild Boar had not only been Resurrected at full state, but it had also been strengthened compared to its first life!

However, the only thing to be thankful for at the moment was that this Mutated White Wild Boar had only entered the second stage and had not gone directly into the third stage to enable the 'No Stiff State'. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to helplessly give up on this BOSS raid.

Hu Gualing seized the moment of stiffness that appeared after the Mutated White Wild Boar missed its kick. He dashed in front of the Mutated White Wild Boar and used the 'Farmers Three Punches' skill, aiming a straight punch at a greenish patch on the Mutated White Wild Boar's waist.

- 21!

Seeing the damage number pop up above the Mutated White Wild Boar's head after the punch, Hu Gualing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, even forgetting to follow up with the second punch.

"Six hundred seventy-nine HP!" Xiao Niao reported the Mutated White Wild Boar's current health with excitement.

Hearing his voice, Hu Gualing finally came back to his senses. Noticing the Mutated White Wild Boar raising its pig hand to strike, he hurriedly dodged. Although the movement caused the muscles in various parts of his body to activate, inevitably pulling at the unhealed injuries on his chest and waist and bringing a wave of pain, fortunately, Hu Gualing had already coated his entire body in euphorbia humifusa sap. Although this stuff was not a Spirit Pill and was slow to take effect, recovering only 1 health point almost every five seconds, it had the advantage of continuous recovery. Even while in combat, the health recovery was not interrupted, so Hu Gualing's health was currently increasing rather than decreasing, having already reached over fifty.

This amount of health was not even half of his total health of 143 points after wearing the 'Brave's Headband', but at least with the recovery of health, Hu Gualing's injured areas had improved somewhat. As long as he endured the pain, he could still perform normal combat movements.

Moreover, seeing that his punch had hit the Mutated White Wild Boar's weak point and dealt a massive 21 points of single-hit damage—three to four times higher than his original five or six points of damage—causing the Mutated White Wild Boar's health bar to drop by a visible chunk, he was both surprised and delighted, his confidence greatly boosted. Temporarily forgetting the pain in his body, he took advantage of the stiffness after the Mutated White Wild Boar's hand strike to land two quick punches on a small greenish patch on the Mutated White Wild Boar's thigh.

- 23, - 21.

As the two damage numbers popped up, the Mutated White Wild Boar's health bar 'whooshed' down by a large chunk. In just two exchanges, it had already lost nearly ten percent of its health.

"Six hundred thirty-five HP! Go Gualing!" Xiao Niao, seeing that this BOSS's second life was so easy to deal with, shouted happily.

While dodging the Mutated White Wild Boar's attacks, Hu Gualing couldn't help but feel high-spirited. "Tang Yao, come quickly! Attack the green parts on the BOSS. If you don't come soon, I'll kill it all by myself!" Hu Gualing joked in high spirits.

Seeing that he still had the energy to joke, Tang Yao knew that the BOSS's second life was not as difficult to deal with as before. Feeling relieved, she raised her long sword and joined the battle.

- 37!

Since Hu Gualing had already drawn the Mutated White Wild Boar's aggro, Tang Yao came over, stood a little further away, and aimed her sword at the greenish skin on the Mutated White Wild Boar—the weak point—and thrust it. The tip of her sword actually pierced directly into the Mutated White Wild Boar's body.

Tang Yao couldn't help but pause. In previous battles, she had used her long sword to slash or thrust, but none had caused any obvious wounds on the Mutated White Wild Boar. Only once, because the Mutated White Wild Boar had actively swung its hand at her, did she manage to plunge the tip of her sword into its pig hand. Even then, the damage dealt to the Mutated White Wild Boar was only twenty points, and there was no Bleeding from the wound on the pig hand. This showed just how thick-skinned the Mutated White Wild Boar was.

But now, she had actually pierced the tip of her sword directly into the Mutated White Wild Boar's body, and the damage number was as high as 37 points. One sword strike had directly reduced the Mutated White Wild Boar's health by five percent!

'So this is the weak point?'

In previous battles, Tang Yao had also felt that the greenish parts on the Mutated White Wild Boar looked disgusting, so she had intentionally avoided them when attacking. Now that she had attacked the weak point for the first time, she finally understood what true damage was.

At the same time, Hu Gualing glanced at the damage Tang Yao had dealt to the Mutated White Wild Boar and couldn't help but frown.

It was the same attack on the Mutated White Wild Boar's weak point, yet his damage had increased by three or four times, while Tang Yao had previously been able to deal fifteen to twenty points of damage. How, after the increase, did she only manage to stab thirty-seven points of health off the Mutated White Wild Boar? How was the damage bonus for the weak point calculated anyway?

Hu Gualing's brain was spinning rapidly. However, although his brain was much sharper during combat than usual, he was still completely clueless when it came to numerical things. Otherwise, that spring all those years ago, he wouldn't have missed out on the status of a glorious junior college student.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Hu Gualing didn't dwell on it. He temporarily kept the question in his mind and focused on the battle.
