Bobo also starts his attack, and I take the chance to rush up. I stand behind the huge porcupine, and I find its most vulnerable and defenseless area, the butt! Using my [Combo] attack here has the best chance of success. This game’s design is so similar to reality and very logical, so every small detail can determine whether you lose or win. As I’m killing monsters, I won’t easily put down my guard. Even if I’m killing a chicken, I will use my full power to kill it!
The 5 strikes go out screaming, and the porcupine cries out while being attacked. I sweep my feet, and after the 3 strikes, I start my 4th, ram!
Bang!
The porcupine wails and screams, but I also wail and scream. My face and chest have holes in them now, and it hurts quite a bit. I can’t ram these kinds of monsters…But, with that one ram I stun the porcupine for a short while, and I use the strongest strike out of the 5——[Wind Blade]!
“878!”
Looking at the damage, I get some satisfaction. The damage from [Strength of a Thousand Men] is extremely strong, and it should be the strongest [Combo] at this point, or else Wan Er wouldn’t be that surprised. She is, after all, one of Fan Shu City’s top 3 players, and has seen quite a few battles.
Blood splashes out, and the huge porcupine is killed and the porcupine drops a few silver coins.
I kneel and pick up the silver coins. After that, I start picking the peppers, and before long I collected a huge pile. After walking for a bit, another huge porcupine appears, and I quickly kill it off. The 20% return damage doesn’t do much to me, plus I have [Heal]. The current me can both attack and heal, and my dueling strength is top class!
After collecting quite a bit of peppers, I stand up, and hold one porcupine in one hand and the other porcupine in the other, and drag their corpses back. Porcupine meat is actually pretty tasty, back in my mission days I ate quite a bit of it. Even when we ran out of canned food, me and my 7 other comrades relied on porcupines and mountain chickens to fill our stomachs. After equipping the AWSM gun with silencers, we sniped the pheasants from afar, and the accuracy is way sharper than a hunting rifle. Thinking back, I do miss those flavors…
……
Rustle…
The porcupines’ corpse carves a deep ditch along the dirt and sand as I walk back to camp. I arrive at the camp, throw the porcupine on the side, and say, “Instructor, I brought the items back, and two fresh porcupines.”
Dalin’s eyes flashes, and smiles, “Boy, your growth is something that is worth noticing; perhaps I was wrong when I first saw you. You are not the shame of Dragon City, but rather our fresh blood. Captain Frost has good insight, and your growth has proved this. How about this, peel the skin of the porcupine and cook it. I brought some wine here, and since you are my student, will you drink a cup with me?”
