Six damage numbers floated up from above the boar's head.
Su Mu frowned slightly.
3 points of damage. His M500 is a Lv3 green quality weapon with a base firepower of 22. A hit to a vital point should deal at least 40 points of damage. But it only deals 3 points, and there's a 0 in the picture, indicating that the boar's armor negated most of the damage.
He fired fifteen shots, emptying the magazine. Every shot hit the head, every shot landed around the eyes. Both of the boar's eyes were hit, but it caused almost no damage; instead, it enraged the boar. Firearms were becoming increasingly ineffective against level seven green monsters.
The wild boar went completely mad.
Following the direction of the gunshot, it lowered its head, bared its fangs, and charged towards the building where Su Mu was.
"boom......!"
This impact was more violent than any before. The entire building trembled, cracks in the walls spread from the first floor to the third floor, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath Su Mu's feet.
The wild boar was knocked back a few steps and became dizzy.
Right now.
Su Mu did not hesitate.
He glanced at the ground below... about seven or eight meters high. With his current physical condition, jumping wouldn't be a problem. But he didn't choose to jump. He chose a faster way.
"Thrust".
The moment the skill was activated, his body vanished from its original spot, propelled by the spear. The next second, he was already directly below the wild boar... not jumping down from the building, but "teleporting" from the building to in front of the wild boar.
The spear was thrust upwards sharply, its tip piercing the wild boar's belly with pinpoint accuracy.
That was one of its weaknesses. The wild boar's belly was not covered by bristles, and its skin was relatively soft. The moment the spear tip pierced through, Su Mu could feel that the resistance was much less than with its head.
[Thrust: Hit. Control duration: 1.5 second.]
The wild boar's massive body was flung into the air... Although it was only less than a meter high, it was still an astonishing sight for this four- or five-meter-long behemoth. Its limbs flailed wildly in the air, but there was nothing to hold onto, and its entire body was completely out of control.
The Sumu did not wait for it to land.
He took a step forward and thrust out the first shot while the wild boar was still in the air.
"Combo - First Move. -106, -106"
The spear tip sliced across the wild boar's belly, from its left rib to its right, cutting a deep gash. Dark red blood gushed from the wound, tracing an arc in the air.
[Hit. Subsequent damage +10%.]
[Hit. Subsequent damage +10%.]
The wild boar let out a piercing roar, but its body was still in mid-air, unable to retaliate. All it could do was frantically shake its head and flail its tusks through the air.
Su Mu dodged to the side, and at the same time, he twisted his wrist, and the tip of the spear pierced the wild boar's neck from the side, penetrating its trachea.
"Combo - Second Move. -117, -117"
[Hit. Subsequent damage +10%.]
[Hit. Subsequent damage +10%.]
The wild boar's roar turned into muffled grunts. Its health was dropping rapidly, but it hadn't reached the danger level yet.
The third shot. -157, -157. The spearhead pierced the wild boar's chest, penetrating its lungs.
The fourth shot. -188, -188 pierced the scapula, severing the tendons of the forelimb.
The fifth shot. -206, -206 pierced its hind leg, impairing its mobility.
The sixth shot. -243, -243 pierced the side of the spine and went through the kidney.
The seventh shot. -268, the tip of the -268 spear pierced the wild boar's lower jaw and penetrated its skull.
"Combo - Seventh Style"
[Hit. Subsequent damage +140%. Knockback effect triggered.]
With a flick of his wrist, Su Mu sent the spear flying, carrying the boar's carcass, crashing into the open ground beside him with a dull thud.
"He's still alive?"
Su Mu frowned, but since his dash skill had already cooled down, he dashed again until he finished the second set of attacks.
The wild boar's body twitched a few times, then it stopped moving.
[Slaying a Lv7 Green Tusked Giant Boar grants +40 experience points.]
Su Mu holstered his gun, stood still, and gasped for breath.
It's not that I'm tired. It's that my heart is racing after my adrenaline surges.
From the initial thrust to the completion of the combo, the entire process took less than four seconds. A level 7 green-quality monster wasn't even touched by a single shot, from the first to the last.
But this time it was a bit more difficult than when dealing with the Lickers.
The Licker is a level 5 blue monster with high agility but low constitution; a single combo is usually enough to kill it. This boar, on the other hand, is a level 7 green monster with a constitution of 210, making it ridiculously tanky. Even after a full combo, it still has over ten percent of its health remaining.
If the second combo hadn't been on cooldown just in time, allowing it to recover from the stun, the outcome might have been different.
However, Su Mu also discovered a very strange problem: his damage output was already excessive after one combo. You have to know that his current strength has reached 123, and normally this kind of monster should die in two or three hits.
The last licker was the same.
Su Mu calculated it carefully.
The actual physical strength of these monsters is estimated to be around 10 times greater.
Could it be that monsters above level 5 have different constitutions than those below level 5, or that using health points would be a more accurate description?
Su Mu pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
However, this needs to be verified later.....
I thought about it briefly.
Su Mu looked down at his hands.
It doesn't shake. It's very stable.
But he silently remembered this lesson... Level suppression is real. He was already struggling so much with a level seven green one, what about a level eight one?
He didn't think any further.
Su Mu walked to the wild boar's carcass, squatted down, and opened the fallen box.
A blue metal box with green stripes along the edges.
There were two things lying inside.
The first thing was two curved fangs. Each one was as long as an adult's arm, as thick as a fist at the base, and as sharp as a knife at the tip, with a dark red sheen on the surface.
[The tusks of the giant boar (green)]
[Type: Special Material]
[Effect: Can be used to craft weapons or equipment. Fangs themselves possess extremely high hardness and toughness, and weapons crafted from them will have an "armor-piercing" attribute.]
The second item was three fist-sized chunks of meat. These weren't ordinary meat... they had a faint sheen on the surface and emitted a peculiar aroma, like a mixture of roasted meat and herbs.
[Extract of Tusked Giant Boar Meat (Green)]
[Type: Food Ingredients/Consumables]
[Effect: When cooked and consumed, it permanently increases constitution by 5 points. Effective only on the first consumption. It can also be consumed directly, but the effect is halved.]
Su Mu's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the words.
It permanently improves physical fitness. Although it's only 5 points, it adds up. Plus, this is an ingredient that can be cooked... If you could find someone who knows how to cook, or find the relevant recipe, the effect might be even better.
He put the fangs and meat essence into his backpack, stood up, and glanced upstairs.
The girl was still standing on the edge of the rooftop, her hands gripping the railing, staring blankly at him. Her glasses were askew, her mouth slightly open, and her expression shifted from fear to shock, then from shock to something indescribable.
Su Mu ignored her.
He turned and walked towards the student dormitory area.
Behind her, a girl's voice drifted down from upstairs, trembling slightly: "Th...thank you..."
Su Mu did not turn around.
He quickened his pace and soon disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path on campus.
