Chapter 16 Wild Boar Man
After Zhang Changsheng rode the white dragon for a while, the fog eagle came into view at the same time.
A faint white mist could be seen flowing around White Wolf Village; this mist was the vapor created by the fog eagles after they had turned into fog.
Three pig-headed men, each over two meters tall, were wielding enormous wooden clubs and running around the village, searching for any surviving villagers.
Besides the pig-headed men, there were also red-eyed wild boars charging around.
"So we can view the information?"
Zhang Changsheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he could also view information about monsters by using the Fog Eagle's vision.
"That way, I won't be afraid of ambushes and traps anymore."
After a moment of reflection, Zhang Changsheng opened the information about the boar-man.
Pig-headed man
Class: Tier 1 Warrior
Power: 5
Agility: 2
Physical condition: 3
Intelligence: 1
Perception: 1
Charisma: 1
Skills: Brute Force (Tier 1) Charge (Tier 1)
"They're both Tier 1, we can fight them."
After nodding slightly, Zhang Changsheng used his information-gathering abilities to search the village for any potential enemies hiding there.
After surveying the village, there were no enemies, except for a few surviving villagers.
……
boom!
Amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, Zhang Changsheng rode the white dragon into White Wolf Village.
brush!brush!
Zhang Changsheng swung his steel sword continuously, slashing out huge wind blades that killed the red-eyed wild boars he encountered along the way, much like a lawnmower.
"Hmph! Hmph!"
Seeing that someone dared to kill one of his own kind, a tall, pig-headed man abandoned his search for the villagers, burst out of the wooden house, and swung his huge wooden club at Zhang Changsheng.
"court death!"
Zhang Changsheng remained calm, clenched his left hand into a fist, and threw a punch.
Stone-throwing technique!
boom!
Fists collided, and the massive wooden stick was instantly shattered by the terrifying force and the force of the punch.
With splinters embedded in the wood, the fist flew into the pig-headed man's arms.
boom!
The pig-headed man exploded instantly, just like a watermelon.
[You punched the pig-headed man! The learning spell has taken effect! You have copied the Charge skill!]
You killed the pig-headed man!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the Tier 1 spell "Great Strength" from the bloodline of the pig-headed people.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +0.25! Your Constitution +0.25! Your Agility +0.25!]
[Note! Killing the pig-headed man again will not grant you spells!]
"Extreme strength?"
After a slight shift in Zhang Changsheng's gaze, he communicated with the spell model in his spiritual sea to check the spell's effects and usage.
"Great Strength!"
With a thought, Zhang Changsheng clapped his hands together and used the Great Strength Technique, causing his body to instantly swell.
The effect of the Giant Strength spell is +1 point in Strength, and it is used by clapping your hands.
"A decent spell, equivalent to doubling your power."
Zhang Changsheng was very satisfied with the effect of this spell.
"There's also the collision skill copied from the learning technique; I'll try it out later."
Thinking of this, Zhang Changsheng jumped off the white dragon's back and looked at the two pig-headed men running towards him not far away.
The two pig-headed men had red eyes and fierce expressions, showing no fear despite the death of their companion.
"Charge!"
Zhang Changsheng tensed his muscles, lifted his right foot, took three steps in place, and then charged forward like a mad bull—this was his charge skill.
Under the effect of the collision skill, Zhang Changsheng's speed increased by 50%, but it was still far less than that of the lightning spell.
Clearly, Zhang Changsheng's magic is stronger than other combat skills and spells of the same level.
"roar!"
Upon seeing Zhang Changsheng charging towards them, the two pig-headed men also charged.
boom!
A man and two pigs collided, and the two pig-headed men were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
In terms of both strength and physique, Zhang Changsheng far surpasses these two pig-headed men; they are not even in the same league.
Zhang Changsheng's strength had reached 9 points, and under the effect of the Giant Strength Technique, it reached 10 points, comparable to a warrior who had just entered the second tier.
boom!
boom!
The two pig-headed men flew backward and crashed to the ground, spitting out blood and shattered internal organs. After groaning a few times, they died from their ruptured internal organs.
"Now, only some wild boars are left."
Zhang Changsheng looked to the side at the wild boars that were charging around wildly.
A short while later, Zhang Changsheng killed all the wild boars.
"I am an adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild. Anyone still alive, come out! I've taken care of the wild boars and the pig-headed men."
Zhang Changsheng spoke loudly, his voice resounding throughout the entire village like a booming bell.
Upon hearing Zhang Changsheng's voice, the villagers emerged from their hiding place.
Looking at the pig-headed man's corpse on the ground, the villagers' eyes were filled with tears, tears of joy at having avenged their great grudge.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir!"
An old man led the remaining villagers to Zhang Changsheng, bowed, and expressed their gratitude.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, just a small favor."
Zhang Changsheng waved his hand and said, "These wild boar carcasses are of no use to me. Take them yourselves."
"Thank you, sir!"
Upon hearing Zhang Changsheng's words, the old man's face lit up with wild joy.
Although the wild boar carcass was of little value to Zhang Changsheng, it was still quite valuable to ordinary people, both the meat and the skin.
Zhang Changsheng arrived at the pig-headed man's corpse and began to work.
According to the monster encyclopedia, pig-headed men possess two extraordinary materials: their teeth and their skin.
Zhang Changsheng used to be a hunter, so he was good at processing prey and quickly skinned three pigs and removed three sets of pig teeth.
"This mission has three pig-headed men, so I should get an extra 300 gold coins and 300 points. I have the money to craft equipment now."
As Zhang Changsheng pondered this, he slung his spoils over his back and prepared to leave.
"My lord, my lord, please wait a moment."
Seeing that Zhang Changsheng was about to leave, the old man immediately ran up.
"Is there anything else, old man?"
Zhang Changsheng looked at the old man and asked in confusion.
"Sir, you saved our village. I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only tell you this news."
The old man began, "My son is the village hunter. He told me that these wild boars evolved into pig-headed people because they ate a strange red herb."
"I think this strange herb must be very valuable; it's an extraordinary material."
"Those monsters are on that mountain. See that grove of trees? They're in that grove. Look carefully and you'll find them."
"My son originally planned to pick them himself and sell them, but unfortunately, he was killed by these beasts."
"I have no use for these things now!"
At this point, tears welled up in the old man's eyes.
"Please accept my condolences, sir."
After a soft sigh, Zhang Changsheng patted the old man on the shoulder, then took out a gold coin and placed it in the old man's hand.
"Let's go, White Dragon."
After Zhang Changsheng mounted the white dragon, he headed towards the mountain the old man had pointed out.
Even faster than Zhang Changsheng was the Mist Eagle, which drifted into the mountains and forests like a wisp of white smoke.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Changsheng did not rush up the mountain, but waited quietly for the fog eagle to detect him.
In a small grove of trees, a dozen or so tall pig-headed men were lying on the grass, sunbathing.
Among these pig heads, there was a three-meter-tall, very robust pig-headed man.
Behind this three-meter-tall pig-headed man, there was a crescent-shaped stone with a dozen or so strange red grasses that looked like dragon horns growing on it.
"There are so many pig-headed people! Did they all evolve from eating this strange herb?"
After a slight shift in Zhang Changsheng's gaze, he began to examine the strange grass and the information on all the pig-headed men.
Dragon Blood Grass (Tier 3)
Description: Where dragon blood falls, a strange grass grows. This grass is called dragon blood grass. Monsters that eat it will evolve and become extraordinary monsters.
"A third-tier extraordinary medicinal herb?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Zhang Changsheng's face. Based on his observations in the Wealth Shop, third-tier medicinal herbs could generally be sold for more than 3000 gold coins.
"A dozen or so Tier 3 Dragon Blood Grass plants are worth only tens of thousands of gold coins."
After doing a quick calculation, Zhang's breathing became heavier. He never expected that there would be such a precious thing in this dilapidated place.
However, Zhang Changsheng was not blinded by greed, but instead checked the information of these pig-headed men.
Pig-headed Chieftain
Class: Tier 2 Warrior
Power: 12
Agility: 6
Physical condition: 8
Intelligence: 1
Perception: 1
Charisma: 1
Skills: Brute Force (Tier 1), Charge (Tier 1), Stomp (Tier 2), Jump Smash (Tier 2)
"This tallest pig-headed man is actually a second-tier monster."
After reading the information from the pig-headed chieftain, Zhang Changsheng calmed down.
Currently, he can rely on the Giant Strength Technique to gain ten points of strength, reaching the threshold of the second tier.
But the pig-headed chieftain has 12 strength points, which is four times his strength, so he can't fight him at all.
"Thank goodness for the Fog Eagle, otherwise, if we had crashed in, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Zhang Changsheng secretly rejoiced at his recent decision; indeed, training scouts first was the right choice.
"I can contract two more battle pets, and perhaps two more new battle pets, to make my combat power even stronger."
"What shortcomings do I still have that I need monsters to make up for?"
Having tasted success with the Mist Eagle, Zhang Changsheng wanted to contract two more new battle pets.
"By the way, I currently lack the ability to treat patients."
"Also, I consume stamina when I use spells, so it would be great to have a battle pet that can quickly restore stamina."
With that in mind, Zhang Changsheng rode the white dragon toward White Wolf Village, while simultaneously taking out the Monster Encyclopedia and searching through it.
"Sir, why are you back again? Didn't you find it?"
Seeing that Zhang Changsheng had returned shortly after leaving, the old man asked in confusion.
"I found it, but the place is very dangerous. There is a Tier 2 pig-headed chieftain and more than a dozen Tier 1 pig-headed men."
"That's why I came back to tell you that you'd better move."
"After I've defeated these monsters, you can move them back."
Zhang Changsheng spoke up.
"What?!"
The old man exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
"My lord, my lord, will you be able to break through to the second tier soon?"
After regaining his senses, the old man looked at Zhang Changsheng and pressed for an answer.
"If it's fast, it'll take a day or two; if it's slow, it'll take half a month."
"Alright, I'm leaving. You'd better take care of yourselves."
After shaking his head slightly, Zhang Changsheng mounted the white dragon and galloped towards Black Dragon City.
He needs to hurry up and break through; that's worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
If we waited any longer and those pig-headed people ate us, we would have suffered a huge loss.
……
In Black Dragon City, Zhang Changsheng walked down the street, attracting glances from people from time to time.
The reason why Zhang Changsheng was so eye-catching was because he was followed by a white dragon and a giant golden eagle.
The giant golden eagle, in particular, is a very rare flying monster of such a height.
Let alone ordinary people, even extraordinary professionals would take a curious look.
Zhang Changsheng arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.
"You're quite fast!"
The dragon girl looked at Zhang Changsheng, who had just sat down, with some surprise.
"I have a mount, so I can run faster."
After a slight smile, Zhang Changsheng handed the magic map to the dragon girl and said, "By the way, there was a small accident during this mission. Three wild boars evolved into first-tier boar-men."
"what!"
After letting out a soft gasp, the dragon girl said with a look of relief, "Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise, I would have been in grave danger."
"According to the guild's rules, I will give you an additional 300 points and 300 points."
"Including the original mission rewards, you will receive a total of 380 points and 380 gold coins."
"Give me your UnionPay card, and I'll transfer the money to you."
After checking the magic map and finding no problems, the dragon girl spoke.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Zhang Changsheng raised his hand and handed over the Lianjin Card.
The dragon girl quickly completed the transfer.
Zhang Changsheng's points increased to 560, and his gold coins reached 480.
"By the way, do you accept extraordinary materials here?"
Zhang Changsheng pointed to the pigskin and tusks on his back.
"I'll give you 200 gold coins for pig-headed skin, but only 100 gold coins for pig tusks."
No points.
After examining the extraordinary materials on Zhang Changsheng's back, the dragon girl made a rough estimate and then gave her answer.
Zhang Changsheng sold the materials because he was about to break through to the second tier.
Once he reaches Tier 2, Tier 1 equipment will be of little use to him, so he might as well sell it for some gold coins.
"Can,"
Zhang Changsheng nodded, indicating that there were no problems, and then placed the extraordinary materials on his back on the table.
The dragon girl took out something that looked like a magnifying glass, examined it from all angles, and after finding no problems, transferred another 900 gold coins to Zhang Changsheng.
"Back when I was a hunter, it took two or three months of hard work to earn just one gold coin."
"And now, I've easily earned over a thousand gold coins. Sure enough, murder and arson bring wealth; risking your life is the way to make money."
Looking at the 1380 gold coins on his Lianjin Card, Zhang Changsheng sighed inwardly.
"I'd like to take on another quest. Could you check what other quests are available?"
Zhang Changsheng looked at the dragon girl and asked.
"These tasks are still pending; take a look."
The dragon girl took out the unclaimed mission and handed it to Zhang Changsheng.
Zhang Changsheng took the task list and looked at it one by one.
