Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Ah Yong Rises to the Challenge
Monk Ben Yin watched as Ah Yong left and said:
"Merciful Buddha! Why did you not assist them this time?"
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"The world of the savages is not the same as ours. They have always revered the laws of the jungle, survival of the fittest, natural selection. It is their faith.
If Ah Yong wants to change his plight and save his woman, he must take up the sword and bravely fight. If he doesn’t even dare to resist, I can help him once but not for a lifetime. I can’t possibly kill all the savages just for him, right?
Savages are also a species of this world. I can’t destroy the entire savage world just to protect one of them. If I extinguish them because of this, wouldn’t I become a criminal of species extinction?"
Monk Ben Yin nodded:
"Heaven helps those who help themselves!"
...
Ah Yong returned to the valley with Ah Chun. On their way back, they encountered a six-meter-long wild boar.
The wild boar was strong, with high defense, its tusks as sharp as treasure swords.
This wild boar was also at the Primary Level of Enhanced Gene; normally, members of Ah Yong’s tribe had to mobilize at least a dozen people to hunt it together and dig traps to catch it.
The main issue was that Ah Yong and the others did not have weapons to easily break through the wild boar’s sturdy defenses; they had to fight with their bare hands, relying on the power of Genetic Evolution.
In the face of the wild boar, those thick wooden sticks were basically useless, and even some steel pipes in the tribe were often bent.
The wild boar with Genetic Evolution no longer just gnawed on tree roots and grass. They could also gain the Energy for Evolution from preying on carnivorous animals.
Seeing Ah Yong and Ah Chun, the wild boar excitedly let out a howl and charged towards them.
Ah Yong yelled out loud, sword in hand:
"Ah Chun, bind it!"
Ah Chun raised both hands, and two vines as thick as arms suddenly appeared in front of the wild boar, wrapping around the charging wild boar’s legs.
The boar’s head lowered, and the sharp tusks suddenly grew by a meter, slicing the vines with a whoosh and continuing the charge.
Ah Chun, an experienced hunter, kept attacking, continuously using vines to entangle the wild boar. Even though they were sliced by the boar’s sharp tusks every time, they at least managed to slow down the wild boar’s attacks, buying some time for Ah Yong.
Ah Yong shouted violently, holding the sword with both hands, and charged directly at the wild boar.
Since the age of five, Ah Yong had been hunting with his father and participating in the tribe’s hunting activities; he was experienced and savvy.
Before, he did not have a sharp weapon, but now it was different.
Ah Yong dashed like lightning, his figure zipping past from the side of the wild boar, his Longsword stabbing viciously into it.
He trusted this Divine Weapon too much!
With a light ’ssst’ sound, Ah Yong’s Longsword pierced into the boar’s tough skin, leaving a half a meter long deep wound along with his charge, instantly spattering blood everywhere.
The wild boar howled in pain and turned to charge at Ah Yong again.
"Ah Yong, be careful!"
Ah Chun exclaimed in alarm.
In the hearts of the savages, the attack power of a wild boar was not inferior to that of fierce beasts like tigers and lions, especially when the sharp tusks and hard defense combined, which made them greatly feared by the savages.
After initially experiencing the sharpness of the Divine Weapon, Ah Yong felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. He shouted loudly once more, leaped up, flipped over the back of the wild boar, and his Longsword viciously slashed across the boar’s spine.
With a crack sound,
Ah Yong’s strike split the wild boar’s tough back open, revealing the spinal bone inside.
The wild boar roared furiously, turning and charging at Ah Yong again.
Ah Yong was now at the Intermediate level of Enhanced Gene. Previously, due to the lack of Beast Soul, Soul Skill, and sharp Weapons, his Combat Power was greatly limited.
It was different now. A sharp treasure sword, endowed with 8 points of Strength, allowed his contained Combat Power to Burst out.
After verifying the sharpness of the treasure sword twice, Ah Yong shouted furiously, not avoiding or yielding, grasping the treasure sword with both hands, and chopped viciously at the head of the charging wild boar.
These past two days, he had been constantly oppressed by the matter of the Wolf King’s son. With this chop, he vented all his fury, treating the wild boar in front of him as the Wolf King’s son, and viciously chopped down.
"Ah Yong!"
Beside him, Ah Chun let out a gasp, her hands forcefully threw out two thick vines, entwining towards the legs of the wild boar.
Crack!
A loud burst,
Ah Yong’s treasure sword directly chopped onto the wild boar’s head, splitting half of its massive skull open.
The boar didn’t even get a chance to cry out before it died, its enormous body, with the momentum of its great inertial impact, directly toppled onto Ah Yong. Caught off guard, Ah Yong was pinned to the ground by the several thousand pounds of the boar’s corpse.
"Ah Yong!"
Ah Chun cried out as she rushed over.
However, what surprised her even more was that the boar had already died.
At this moment, Ah Yong was still crushed under the massive body of the boar, his fate unknown.
"Ah Yong, Ah Yong..."
Ah Chun, while crying loudly, tried to move the boar’s corpse.
She pulled up one of the boar’s forelegs and moved its body aside, only to see Ah Yong covered in blood, grinning broadly at her with his mouth wide open.
"You?"
Ah Chun suddenly forgot to cry.
"Haha, Ah Chun, I’m fine, we’re saved!"
Immersed in the sense of achievement from killing the wild boar by himself, Ah Yong jumped up and grabbed both of Ah Chun’s hands, saying,
"Ah Chun, we’re saved, if I can kill a wild boar by myself, I can also defeat the Wolf King’s son, even the Wolf King could be defeated, all thanks to this Divine Weapon!"
Saying so, Ah Yong raised the treasure sword in his hand.
Ah Chun was also overjoyed. In the hearts of all the tribespeople, anyone who could kill an adult wild boar alone would undoubtedly be a hero and warrior of the tribe.
However, since the apocalypse, no tribesperson had had the ability to kill an adult wild boar with a mutated gene alone.
Ah Chun witnessed with her own eyes how Ah Yong killed an adult wild pig with Enhanced Gene Primary Level, and she was incredibly shocked.
The two then examined the wounds on the boar’s body, each sword injury was extremely sharp, especially the final forceful chop that split open the extraordinarily hard skull of the boar.
Ah Yong used the Beast Skin on his body to wipe clean the blood on the sword, feeling an indescribable excitement.
He grabbed the wild boar’s two forelegs and with a strong push, threw it directly onto his shoulders, carrying the 2,000 to 3,000-pound boar towards the tribe’s valley.
Ah Yong suddenly thought of something and said,
"Ah Chun, when we go back, don’t tell my father that we killed this boar, and don’t mention the Divine Weapon either."
"Huh?"
"Before we enter the valley, we’ll find a place to bury the Divine Weapon."
"Why?"
"My father is a coward, he will definitely not agree to my rebellion against the Wolf King’s son. He will control me along with the other people in the tribe and hand you over to the Wolf King’s son. If that happens, we can never be together."
"But, are you really confident that you can defeat the Wolf King’s people?"
Ah Chun was somewhat worried.
Ah Yong said with incredible confidence,
"Didn’t you just witness me killing the boar? I ask you, in the whole tribe, among all Shenlongjia tribespeople, who else has the capability to kill the boar alone? Even the Wolf King couldn’t!"
Ah Yong was brimming with confidence!
