Wild boars charge very fast, but that's their downfall—they can't stop on a dime…

And just as the wild boar's massive body passes through the spot where Qin Fang had been standing, Qin Fang's figure suddenly reappears behind it.

With a single hand raised, the Military Spike in his grip flashes with a dark gleam, and then he thrusts it viciously into the boar's hindquarters, which were still quivering with an embedded arrow.

Pfft~~

The sharp Military Spike pierces mercilessly straight into the boar's behind, sinking deeply in an instant, and crimson blood spurts out from the wound as swiftly as Sharp Arrow had done.

With the lethal sharpness of the Military Spike and Qin Fang's full-force thrust, the strike was unstoppable, a force that would annihilate gods and Buddhas alike. The boar's underside was its weakest spot, and with it now defenselessly exposed before Qin Fang, why would he show any mercy?

"Aoo aoo aoo~~"

The stab was too vicious; almost the entire length of the Military Spike sank in, and the boar's agonized screams instantly resounded throughout the entire forest…

And as for Qin Fang himself, he quickly retreated the moment he landed his blow.

A wounded beast is most dangerous, let alone this ferocious wild boar; if it were to land even a single blow on him, even his defenses would likely suffer serious damage.

The Military Spike remained lodged in the boar's hindquarters, deeply embedded, blood gushing, exacerbating its injuries severely.

Undoubtedly, the boar couldn't think like a human, but its instincts made it crystal clear that Qin Fang was its greatest enemy, wishing fervently to rend him to pieces and swallow him whole.

But that single strike had almost completely deprived the boar of any will to continue fighting Qin Fang, the intense pain nearly knocking it unconscious.

Wild boars are known for their thick skin and flesh, not exactly impenetrable, but close enough; who could have anticipated that today it would be first shot in the hindquarters, causing severe pain, and then receive another even more ruthless blow…

The Military Spike plunged almost completely in, and the boar could feel its bowels getting thoroughly punctured, blood spewing uncontrollably.

"Aoo aoo aoo~~"

Since it dared not fight any longer, the next priority was to flee. The boar let out a pitiful howl and its hefty body immediately bolted into the depths of the forest.

Its speed was incredibly fast, even faster than when it was previously pursuing Qin Fang…

"Thinking of escaping? Not so easy…"

But if Qin Fang had already made his move, how could he possibly leave things unfinished? Seeing the boar turn tail in such an undignified flight, Qin Fang couldn't help but sneer, immediately unleashing his top speed to chase after it.

Merely minutes ago, the boar had been pursuing Qin Fang like a victor, but within a few brief moments, the situation had completely reversed—it was now Qin Fang, the victor, hunting down the injured wild boar.

As he ran, Qin Fang flicked his hand, and that bow reappeared once again. He immediately nocked an arrow and aimed for the boar's wound!

Swoosh~~

The long arrow flew forth, transforming into a black lightning bolt, heading straight for the injured boar.

Initially, when the boar was chasing Qin Fang, its hindquarters were to the back, making it impossible for Qin Fang to act, but now the situation was different. He didn't need to adjust his aim at all, and simply loosed an arrow straight at the boar's hindquarters.

Ding~~

First, a crisp clashing sound, resembling the clang of metal striking metal.

Pfft~~

But immediately after, a dull sound followed—the sound of a sharp object penetrating flesh…

"Ao ao ao~~"

The wild boar was frantically fleeing, almost too panicked to choose its path, but with the great enemy still tightly on its heels, it dared not even pause to rest.

But although the distance was still great, Qin Fang had now transitioned from a close-combat warrior to a long-range archer, and his arrow struck precisely onto the Military Spike he had left inside the body of the wild boar.

The powerful force on the arrow was completely transferred to the Military Spike, and with such a burst of energy, the Military Spike that had been fully embedded in the wild boar's posterior wreaked havoc once again within its body, this time directly piercing through many internal organs...

Like the posture of the wild boar's dash, the vigorously thrusting Military Spike made a clean pass through, almost drilling out from the boar's mouth!

This time it was truly ruthless!

And it was a particularly brutal kind of ruthlessness!

Such a strong wild boar had almost no damage to its exterior skin, yet its internal organs were nearly utterly destroyed.

The Military Spike performed a high-speed stabbing, and since the soft organs had no bony structure, and given the angle was just right, the outcome was complete tragedy for the wild boar.

"Ao~ao~ao~~"

The sharp Military Spike was now stuck in the wild boar's throat, and the blood was gushing out incessantly, and even the pained groans of the wild boar became incredibly strained, as it felt as if its body was being pierced through with every movement.

The wild boar still struggled to run forwards, but its speed was significantly reduced. After about a few dozen meters, it finally succumbed to its grave injuries, collapsed with a thud against a tree nearby, and laid there—completely motionless.

Qin Fang only then slowly walked over, but he didn't rush to approach, as the wild boar was not completely dead yet and still had a faint breath left.

Approaching now was surely not wise; who knew if the wild boar would suddenly muster its last bit of strength in a last blaze of vitality and deliver a fierce blow to Qin Fang?

The wild boar's eyes were still as blood-red as ever, only now completely devoid of ferocity and filled with intense sorrow, perhaps knowing it was close to death.

Qin Fang stood there, quietly waiting—he was not one of those inexplicably sympathetic animal enthusiasts. Since this wild boar had targeted him, it should be prepared for slaughter.

Humans are the Spirit of All Things; millions of years of evolution have placed us at the very top of the food chain. In that distant era, humans could be said to be the favorite food of wild beasts...

Qin Fang's actions were merely a natural selection of survival of the fittest.

Eventually, the wild boar, bloodied and with ruptured internal organs, died completely, devoid of any traces of life.

Knowing this, Qin Fang leisurely walked over, prepared to clean up the aftermath. Such a large wild boar should not just be left here; it would be too wasteful.

After all, if left in the mountain, it would be eaten by other wild beasts; it was much better to take it out of the mountains to supplement someone's meal...

"Hm? Who..."

But as Qin Fang was about to collect the dead wild boar, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the air around him, as if some mysterious threat was present.

This was definitely not an illusion for Qin Fang, who had always been extremely vigilant of his surroundings; the only lapse might have been in the moment of the wild boar's death.

But soon he noticed something out of the ordinary; a threat was seemingly looming close around him...

"Come out!"

Qin Fang was highly alert to his surroundings, continuously shouting in alarm. Unfortunately, it was as if there was no one there, exceptionally calm, and no one appeared.

"Hiss~~"

Just as Qin Fang was about to investigate the situation, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf, as if some object had burrowed into his leg muscle and seemed to still be wriggling inside...
