Chapter 295: Chapter 288: The Anger of the Working Class
"Do you always dispose of things so carelessly?"
Liu Zheng said with an empty look in his eyes.
"Those were also Beastification Disease patients."
Andrina explained.
"I know, they couldn’t possibly look like normal people. What I mean is, since you’ve caught them, at least give them a quick end, right?"
he said.
After all, the Beastification Disease was a sin of their own making by the Blood Healing Church.
"It’s probably due to the lack of manpower."
Andrina barely found an excuse.
In fact, as a Huntress directly under the Grand Patriarch, she normally doesn’t deal with such dirty work.
But now that Liu Zheng had asked, she could only make excuses on their behalf.
Liu Zheng shook his head and said no more.
In this ignorant and savage world, it was hard to expect the inhabitants to adhere strictly to waste sorting.
"How much further?"
he asked.
"According to the Hunter’s reports, the cannibal wild boar should be around here."
No sooner had Andrina’s words fallen, than a heavy footsteps echoed in the darkness.
"Thud... thud... thud-thud...thud-thud-thud..."
The footsteps became faster and faster, more and more concentrated, until they turned into a continuous sound like war drums.
"It’s coming!"
Andrina shouted.
She drew her weapon, readying herself as she stared intently ahead.
Her weapon was a staff, the long shaft and sharp point made it look more like a spear.
If you looked closely at the staff, you would see that both sides were filled with sharp edges, and there was a slit every other segment.
Because this was actually a combination weapon; the entire staff was made up of metal blades strung together, and those edges were the blades’ cutting edges.
When she activated the mechanism and swung it, the staff would turn into a metal whip.
In Yate culture, whipping had a connotation of admonition, and compared to weapons like Slaughter Knives and axes, it was considered more civilized.
Thus, using the Hunter’s Staff represented whipping bestiality with civilization and was the prime choice for Hunters who held themselves to a higher standard of personal quality and self-demand.
"Wind?"
Andrina suddenly paused, as she felt a chill coming head-on.
Clearly, there shouldn’t be any wind in the sewer, so this could only be the airflow swept up by the rapid movement of a large creature.
And soon, the maker of that airflow revealed itself.
A massive boar, one and a half times the height of a human, charged at the three of them like a tunnel boring machine crashing into the stone before it.
Its body was covered in glossy black hair, which protected everything but its face like a suit of armor.
On its face grew two long and two short tusks, the snow-white tusks extending forward and slightly curving upwards, more reminiscent of ivory than wild boar teeth.
Equally eye-catching were the two beast claws that had sprouted where the boar’s neck should have been, writhing in the air like two venomous snakes.
"Was this thing mentioned in your reports?"
Liu Zheng pointed at the two beast claws and asked.
"No, and it wasn’t this big either. It seems ’Pale Night’ has caused a major change in this monster."
Andrina shook her head.
"I don’t really care about the other things, I just hope its bladder is still there."
He sighed as he eyed the cannibal wild boar.
Just look at Dickens to know, those in the late stages of Beastification Disease have virtually no internal organs left at all.
Hope the cannibal wild boar doesn’t do the same, otherwise, he would have no way to report back.
While Liu Zheng was silently praying, the cannibal wild boar had already charged in front of him.
Its huge eyes emitted a strong light, like two incandescent bulbs, almost brighter than Andrina’s lantern.
Liu Zheng tiptoed, splashing up a puddle of dirty water, and dodged to the side.
Andrina and Xia Kai, of course, need no mention, they had already started to retreat upon seeing the cannibal wild boar charging over, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.
The enormous cannibal wild boar stood up on its hind legs, forcefully halting its momentum while emitting a terrifying howl.
A boning knife plunged into the side of its mouth and out the other, skewering it.
"The ingredient’s grade seems high, making braised pig’s head meat should be delicious."
Liu Zheng licked his lips, tasting the rotting blood.
A huge claw mark extended from the corner of his forehead to the corner of his mouth, diagonally dividing his face into two sections.
And from the cannibal wild boar’s neck, the claw that wasn’t its own continually dripped blood.
In a flash, man and pig had exchanged blows.
In terms of injuries, naturally, Liu Zheng was more severely wounded.
But in terms of consequences, it was the cannibal wild boar that was worse off.
The fat on the face of the cannibal wild boar twitched as its claw shook off blood and flesh, reaching for the boning knife as if it wanted to pull out this foreign object.
"Don’t pull it out, I feel it really complements your facial shape."
Liu Zheng, holding the Slaughter Knife high, leapt up and chopped towards the neck of the cannibal wild boar.
If this blow were to land solidly, it would be enough to sever head from body.
The cannibal wild boar also felt the threat and was forced to stop pulling out the knife, swinging its boar head with its tusks to collide with the Slaughter Knife.
The sound of metal striking stone rang out, Liu Zheng, after all in mid-air with nowhere to leverage, was sent flying by the brute force.
However, this time he had experience, stretching out tentacles to embrace a beam, using rotation to dissipate the force before safely landing.
"Roar!"
The cannibal wild boar stomped its front hoof, emitting a somewhat deformed cry of pain.
Its tusks, originally like impeccably white ivory, now bore several clear cracks.
The mutated tusks, directly connected to the brain’s nerves, brought more suffering than being pierced by the boning knife.
"Die!"
The claw pulled out the boning knife, and a pale human head eerily emerged from the mouth of the cannibal wild boar, screaming at Liu Zheng.
"Damn!"
This grotesque scene made Xia Kai cry out in shock, even Andrina couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.
With her extensive knowledge, she had never heard of a monster of this form before.
Liu Zheng’s complexion wasn’t looking good either, but not because of the appearance of the cannibal wild boar, he was contemplating another issue.
If this person was grown inside the body of the cannibal wild boar, then wouldn’t the boar’s excrement become this person’s as well?
"Whether it is or isn’t, we’ll know once we cut open."
He said with a cold and fierce look in his eyes, his muscles unconsciously turning red and swelling.
His "Irritable Syndrome" acted up, "Angry Fire Burning Body" state initiated.
For a working stiff, nothing is more infuriating than a delayed paycheck from the boss, except for unplanned complications.
After the human head appeared, the cannibal wild boar also underwent a transformation.
Its black hairs stood up, one by one, like steel needles, transforming from a wild boar into a Bristleback, with even denser quills than that of a Bristleback.
The human head looked downwards, and so did the cannibal wild boar, continuing to hide its head near its belly, then charging towards Liu Zheng.
"Meat bomb impact?"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then positioned the Slaughter Knife horizontally, facing the blade towards the charging boar.
Good, it saved him the trouble of exerting force himself.
