191: Chapter 191 The Wonderful Uses of Pig Feed

Xiao Niao didn't know if his idea would work, but he had no other choice and thought he'd give it a try. If it didn't work, he would just run behind that dirt wall and hide with the Sharp-toothed Piglet. However, seeing the Mutated White Wild Boar's reaction now, he immediately understood that his idea was correct—the blue-quality pig feed that Tang Yao had cooked up had a huge attraction for this White Wild Boar!

"Quick, throw the wooden bucket to the BOSS! Then get ready to deal damage!" Xiao Niao shouted excitedly, his hands clenched into fists.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Tang Yao immediately put away her longsword. She gripped the handle of the wooden bucket with one hand and supported its bottom with the other. With a grunt of "Hey," she exerted her strength and tossed the bucket, filled with ten to twenty catties of pig feed, toward the Mutated White Wild Boar, where it landed at its feet.

The Mutated White Wild Boar lowered its head in confusion, looking at the overturned wooden bucket at its feet and the sticky, greenish pig feed spilling out. The greed on its pig face grew more intense, and it couldn't help but emit hurried grunts. It looked up to scan the three humans standing around, then looked down at the pig feed, then looked up to scan again, then looked down... It seemed to be struggling internally, debating whether to taste the delicacy on the ground first or to finish off these annoying players.

Fortunately, this was no ordinary pig feed. It was a blue, refined-quality pig feed that Tang Yao had painstakingly concocted through her increasingly refined culinary skills gained from countless cooking attempts—all-natural, harmless, and so fragrant that even Xiao Niao, a city dweller with abundant material conditions, couldn't help but drool when he smelled it!

The Mutated White Wild Boar finally couldn't resist the temptation of the pig feed. After checking the three people around it one last time, it retreated a few steps, laid down on all fours, and brought its pig face close to the overturned pig feed. It opened its pig mouth and began to eat the pig feed on the ground in small bites, though its eyes still vigilantly scanned the surroundings, especially focusing on Tang Yao and Hu Gualing, who were closest to it. This meant that although Tang Yao and Hu Gualing wanted to attack the Mutated White Wild Boar, they had no opportunity for the moment.

Tang Yao and Hu Gualing were being watched by the Mutated White Wild Boar; as soon as they made the slightest movement, the Mutated White Wild Boar would stop eating, ready to give up its food and launch an attack at the slightest provocation. Tang Yao and Hu Gualing had no choice but to stare at the Mutated White Wild Boar as it ate, waiting for the right opportunity.

However, under the gaze of the three, after the Mutated White Wild Boar ate some of the pig feed, green health recovery numbers of +1 and +2 actually began to pop up next to its health bar, which only had a little over one hundred HP!

Seeing the Mutated White Wild Boar, which originally had only a little over one hundred HP, quickly recover to one hundred and fifty HP, Tang Yao's heart stirred, and her longsword appeared in her hand. Seeing the pig feed she had worked so hard to cook being eaten by the monster, not to mention that it was causing the monster's hard-earned lost HP to slowly recover, she felt a bit aggrieved and didn't want to endure it any longer.

"Don't be impatient! Wait a little longer." Xiao Niao watched Tang Yao's reaction and hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.

Tang Yao squeezed the hilt of her sword and nodded. She knew that Gualing and Xiao Niao were both seasoned gamers with quite a wealth of gaming experience, so what they said must make sense.

Hu Gualing looked down at his fist, which was feeling a stinging sensation from the Burning, and then glanced at his health bar, which was continuously dropping due to the 'Venom' corrosion. He couldn't help but clench his fists, an anxious expression appearing on his face. However, thinking that Xiao Niao's brain was occasionally indeed a bit better than his, he suppressed the urge to act for the time being. But inside, he was extremely anxious; if they didn't act soon, he would be on the verge of death just from the Poisoning and Bleeding!

As for Xiao Niao, he was actually feeling quite uneasy inside. He had originally thought that since the Mutated White Wild Boar's skin was mostly white, it seemed somewhat similar to a domestic pig, which was why he thought of having Tang Yao use pig feed to attract its attention. He had hoped to take advantage of the time when the Mutated White Wild Boar was focused on eating the pig feed to rush up and finish off its remaining one hundred and some HP. But who could have guessed that this Mutated White Wild Boar would be so cautious? Even though it had been attracted by the pig feed, it still kept eating while vigilantly keeping its gaze on them without looking away for a second, and even started recovering HP after eating for a while!

If this Mutated White Wild Boar kept staying vigilant until it finished the pig feed and its health bar was fully recovered, what would they do then? Gualing and Tang Yao had been fighting for so long and sacrificed so much; wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

Thinking this, Xiao Niao was already in a panic.

Yet, at this very moment, after eating for a while, the Mutated White Wild Boar seemed to feel that the environment was safe enough. Eating in small bites wasn't satisfying enough, so it finally glanced at the three of them one last time, lowered its head, and began to eat earnestly in large mouthfuls, making snorting sounds. As the Mutated White Wild Boar's eating speed increased, the health recovery numbers popping up above its head appeared even more frequently.

'Good opportunity!' Xiao Niao watched the Mutated White Wild Boar finally relax its vigilance. He felt a sense of relief but also nervously held his breath, waiting for a second or two. Confirming that the Mutated White Wild Boar was focused on the blue, refined-quality pig feed spilled on the ground and was no longer paying attention to them, he said with a trembling, nervous, and excited voice: "Do it!!"
