Chapter 157: Chapter 157 This Kid Is Clever (Third Update)

Yang Xiao and the others reached the edge of the forest, where the wild boar being hunted by the snow wolves was nearby, so they launched an attack on the boar.

Once the confrontation began, Yang Xiao and his group realized why the ten snow wolves were unable to take down the wild boar.

The boar’s defense was incredibly strong!

The electric arcs fired by the twenty Electric Element Mages struck the wild boar, and it only grunted a few times, showing no signs of numbness or dizziness.

After being attacked, the wild boar roared and charged at Yang Xiao and his group.

Qin Yu and the others in mid-air swiftly shot out feathered arrows, but the arrows merely bounced off the wild boar’s skin and fell to the ground, not leaving a single scratch.

Even Huang Wen’s Fiery Feather Arrows were ineffective; they merely caused a flash of fire on the boar’s surface, which continued its frenzied charge unabated.

"Everyone retreat, don’t try to withstand it!"

Yang Xiao shouted, and in the same motion launched a move:

One Finger Splitting Earth,

With a loud boom, massive spikes erupted from the snowy ground, blasting several trees up by their roots.

The wild boar stumbled, fell from mid-air onto the snowy ground, rolled, and then charged again.

Everyone saw that the boar’s two tusks were extremely sharp, easily snapping branches and small trees in half with a crack.

Xiao Zhe’s Wolf Claw Critical Strike, Zhao Gang’s Bear Fist, and Chen Fei’s Ice Cone all struck simultaneously.

With a loud bang,

The wild boar was hit, its huge body wobbled a few times, it howled in pain, and then charged again.

Long Yongjun refused to accept it, shouted loudly, rushed forward, raised his Dog Blood Blade high, and swung it down fiercely; the heavy shadow of the blade split the air and slashed toward the wild boar.

With a grunt from the boar, a black shield suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking Long Yongjun’s Dog Blood Blade.

With a loud crash, Long Yongjun was knocked back dozens of steps, colliding with a large tree, causing a cascade of snowflakes to fall from the treetop.

Yang Xiao immediately let out a big roar, unleashing the Snow Wolf Frenzy Howl, a skill he acquired from the Secret Manual of a golden Wolf King.

A giant wolf’s head burst through the air and bit towards the wild boar.

The wild boar grunted again, and the black shield reappeared, colliding with the wolf’s head.

With a loud bang, the wild boar’s body shook, it took two steps backward while Yang Xiao was pushed back over a dozen steps.

The wild boar’s defense and strength were clearly very high, fortunately, it was not agile enough, otherwise, it would have been much harder to deal with.

Yang Xiao pulled out his sparrow bow, immediately drew it, and aimed an arrow at the wild boar’s eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Qiang, Chen Fei, Huang Wen, and the twenty Electric Mages also started attacking the boar desperately, hoping their combined efforts would have some effect despite its thick skin.

The wild boar was struck until it was grunting incessantly.

Yang Xiao’s feathered arrow exploded into seven Arrow Shadows on the boar’s head.

With a splurch!

The seven Arrow Shadows hit the wild boar’s head, each penetrating about five or six centimeters.

"Roar!"

The wild boar, surrounded and attacked by everyone, became furious and charged wildly at the group,

Crack, crack,

Two large trees along the path were directly knocked down by the wild boar.

The people in front were retreating in panic.

Yang Xiao quickly executed One Finger Splitting Earth, tossing the wild boar into the air, and when the boar fell again, it landed right into the pit created by the skill.

The pit caused by Yang Xiao’s One Finger Splitting Earth was seven to eight meters deep. The wild boar fell into it and for a while, it couldn’t charge out.

Now, things were in control. Everyone rushed forward, standing at the edge of the pit and bombarding it with various skills. Moments later, the wild boar could no longer defend itself, letting out a howl before falling in the pit.

To everyone’s surprise, the wild boar didn’t burst with any Armor or Weapons. Besides one Genetic Disk and eight Genetic Fragments, there were also two small wild boar fangs, about ten centimeters long, with no known use.

"These wild boars are tough to deal with, and besides their flesh, they don’t drop anything useful."

Long Yongjun was clearly disappointed.

Yang Xiao put the two wild boar fangs into his pocket and said:

"Since the wild boars are tough and not very valuable, let’s not provoke them for now. We’ll hunt Snow Wolves first and aim to obtain the Snow Wolf Armor."

Huang Wen took Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and others to take to the skies again in search of Snow Wolves, to inform Yang Xiao and the rest upon finding them.

These smaller groups of Snow Wolves were easier to handle. A hundred people would surround them, and they could be wiped out with a barrage of attacks easily. As for the wild boars, they would run away on their own if not actively provoked.

By late afternoon, Yang Xiao and the others had hunted close to sixty Snow Wolves, obtaining 30 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor and over two hundred Genetic Disks.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Xiao decided to head back. They piled up the dead Snow Wolves together, waiting to leave after dark.

"When it gets dark and the guards on watch go back to rest, we can quietly use the Transmission Array to return. It’s better not to be seen carrying so many Snow Wolf corpses; it would alert Chen Jun."

Yang Xiao said.

Chen Jun, being the son of a wealthy family, wasn’t a brainless individual either.

"Boss, even if Chen Jun sees us, we’re not afraid!"

Long Yongjun said boldly.

"If it comes down to a fight, we surely aren’t afraid of Chen Jun. However, we have not reached the point of turning against each other. Besides, our main task is to get enough Snow Wolf Armor to free our brothers in the caves. Otherwise, hiding in the caves all day won’t let us form an effective fighting force."

Today, they’ve obtained thirty pieces of Snow Wolf Armor, which could arm thirty teammates.

"Moreover, if Chen Jun shuts down the Transmission Array, how are we going to come over to hunt Snow Wolves? The distance from here to Kongming Academy is at least fifty kilometers through freezing snow. It’s no joke."

After nightfall, Yang Xiao and the others stealthily arrived at the Transmission Array in front of the Wanxing Marketplace and returned to Kongming Academy.

The middle-aged man at the Genetic Store’s counter glanced at Yang Xiao and the others and said in a low voice.

"This kid, smart!"

The Genetic Store’s attendant then asked:

"Master, why don’t you remind Chen Jun, Wang Le, and the others to hunt Snow Wolves?"

"Heh, they have underfloor heating, ample food, and the protection of our Genetic Store. Why would they go back out and risk hunting Snow Wolves?"

"But without Snow Wolf Armor, it will be hard for them to leave this building in the future, right? Even if a few people like Chen Jun can improve their Genetic Evolution level to withstand the cold, the others don’t have the resources."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said:

"That’s survival of the fittest. Genetic Evolution isn’t just about the body; it includes the mind too. A person with a rigid mindset, even with a high Evolution Level, is useless. That’s not the kind of person we need."

The attendant wanted to say more, but the middle-aged man stated firmly:

"Our job is to provide transactions; we don’t concern ourselves with anything else."

The attendant fell silent.
