Chapter 19
C19 – Killed the Black Wild Boar!
“Big brother! Quick! The wild boar is on us!”
Green was screaming, bolting like a streak of lightning!
Hot on its tail was a black-furred wild boar with menacing tusks and a fiery temper!
The boar was charging at breakneck speed, nearly catching Green several times!
“Over here!” Lee Tian called out, waving a green leaf to signal Green.
Seeing the signal, Green immediately steered the wild boar towards Lee Tian.
Lee Tian was directing it towards the location of a massive trap.
A colossal trap!
Green dashed for the trap’s marker and quickly reached the spot.
Hunters, when setting such large traps for big game, ensure they aren’t triggered by smaller creatures by reinforcing them to bear more weight.
Thus, Green’s weight wasn’t enough to spring the trap.
Like a flash of green lightning, Green zipped over the trap!
But the pursuing boar, oblivious to the trap, barreled straight towards it.
Even if it had known, it would have still given chase.
The boar was fuming with rage, having been rudely awakened from its slumber by several bites to the rear from the green snake. It was hell-bent on revenge!
Sadly for the boar, it would never realize its goal of killing Green.
Suddenly, the ground beneath the boar gave way, and with a thunderous crash, the once-solid earth collapsed!
The boar’s hefty body plummeted into the pitfall along with the crumbling ground!
Another sharp crack echoed, followed by jets of blood spraying from the pit!
Lee Tian, poised at the pit’s edge, leaped in. He landed on the boar, now skewered by bamboo spikes, and began to furiously tear into it, pumping venom into its body!
[Host has slain a level 2 high-tier wild boar. Experience Points +18, Evolution Points +12!]
[Host has acquired the wild boar’s talent: ‘Tusk’!]
[Host’s Experience Points are maxed. Congratulations, Host has advanced to mid-tier level 6!]
A cascade of System Beeps sounded, and Lee Tian’s body instantly grew once more!
His large teeth underwent a transformation too, becoming exceptionally hard, razor-sharp, and gleaming!
The sight was enough to send a shiver down anyone’s spine!
Green watched Lee Tian’s transformation with a mix of awe and envy.
It had chosen to follow him precisely because it knew that Lee Tian, the black ant, was on the path to evolution and growing stronger.
Lee Tian surveyed his body’s changes with a sense of satisfaction, yet one question nagged at him.
“System, why did I only gain 14 experience points after hunting down a level 2 high-tier wild boar?” he inquired telepathically.
“Experience points vary according to the host’s hunting method. Different approaches yield different amounts. For instance, if the host engages in direct combat to take down prey, maximum experience points are awarded!”
“There’s a rule like that?” Lee Tian felt somewhat resigned.
By the system’s logic, had he engaged in combat to hunt the boar, he could have earned even more experience points!
But considering his current level and size, how could he possibly take on a high-tier animal head-to-head?
“I’ll get there eventually. I’m nearly at the high-tier level myself!” Lee Tian self-motivated.
Green sidled up to him, looking up with admiration. “Bro, you seem to have gotten even stronger!”
Lee Tian gave a mischievous grin. “Care to test out my brand-new chompers?”
Green hastily shook its head. “No thanks, I’ll stick to drawing in the prey!”
