Chapter 753: Mountain Pig

The world within the bell is truly peculiar.

Not only is there an absence of spiritual energy, but vast regions are also enveloped in dense fog.

Despite it being broad daylight, visibility is limited to just about ten steps.

For those unacquainted with the terrain, venturing into unfamiliar areas almost guarantees disorientation.

And losing one’s way is merely the beginning of the perils.

The fierce beasts concealed within the mountain mists are the true adversaries!

Wang Chen, stripped of his cultivation level and devoid of divine sense as a "detection radar," found himself in a precarious situation.

When he detected unusual sounds, the attackers were already within striking distance.

A black giant bat abruptly descended from the heavens, swooping towards Wang Chen with lightning speed.

Its crimson eyes wide open, it bared its fanged maw, aiming a precise and vicious strike at Wang Chen’s throat.

This creature, a common low-level fierce beast of the mountains—the black bat—

possesses the uncanny ability to sense warm-blooded intruders and launch sudden assaults.

The venom in its claws and teeth ensures that any bite swiftly paralyzes its prey,

leading inevitably to a grim fate of exsanguination.

This particular black bat, seasoned in the art of the hunt, cunningly attacked from Wang Chen’s rear.

By the time Wang Chen sensed the anomaly and turned, the bat was poised for a lethal strike.

Yet, in that pivotal instant, a cold gleam of blade light flashed, illuminating the bat’s eyes.

Its pupils contracted sharply, but before it could react, the blade mercilessly cleaved its body asunder.

Thud!

The bisected carcass fell to the ground, its vile entrails spilling out.

Wang Chen, wielding the mountain knife, gazed coldly at the remains at his feet.

Though his Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method had only reached the second layer, placing him at the flesh-refining level in this realm, and this was his maiden foray from the village into the fog-laden hunting grounds,

Wang Chen had once delved into numerous mundane fighting techniques.

His combat experience and tactical acumen in close combat had ascended to the realm of mastery.

With the resurgence of his memories, this expertise and awareness were fully restored,

granting Wang Chen the prowess to confront challenges beyond his current level!

He stood in silence for a moment, but no notifications or messages came.

Wang Chen then relinquished all hope.

It appeared that the Heavenly Merit and Virtue system was indeed sealed, and he could no longer rely on virtue points to achieve a breakthrough.

From now on, he would have to rely solely on himself!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen sheathed his knife and swiftly ascended a nearby large tree.

He did not climb to great heights but instead concealed himself among the lower branches.

There, he began to wait with patience.

The smell of blood from the bat’s corpse silently permeated the surroundings, spreading through the mountains and forests.

Soon, it drew the attention of a genuine fierce beast!

A massive body weighing at least one or two thousand pounds had a black-brown surface covered with a shell of hardened resin. With a fierce head and sharp tusks, it was a large wild boar.

It discovered the bat’s corpse on the ground but didn’t approach immediately to eat. Instead, it cautiously circled around, ensuring no other fierce beasts or dangers were present, before turning and grunting a couple of times.

Two smaller wild pigs, each weighing about a hundred pounds, came running from behind, surrounding the large wild boar and playfully snorting.

However, they were soon attracted by the food on the ground, and without prior agreement, they lunged forward to eat greedily.

Although the Black Bat was very ugly, its belly was quite plump, and its wings stretched five to six feet wide.

The small wild pigs chewed happily, crunching through skin and bones with great pleasure.

The large wild boar looked on, drooling with desire, unable to resist joining its children in a hearty feast!

It bit off half of the bat’s wing, chomping away noisily.

At that moment, a figure suddenly landed behind the large wild boar.

It was Wang Chen!

The Black Bat was toxic and unfit for human consumption, so he had come to “fish” while waiting to ambush.

To his surprise, he caught one large and two small creatures!

The large mountain pig was as large as a small hill, estimated to weigh around two thousand pounds, and its power must be terrifying.

Moreover, its resin armor was extremely thick, truly impervious to blades and bullets.

In Wang Chen’s memory, he recalled Chen Qiao Shan’s description of such fierce beasts.

Mountain pigs were second-grade fierce beasts that lived in the mountains.

It was said that since the establishment of the Little Stone Village Hunting Team, they had captured very few mountain pigs, especially adult ones that no one dared provoke.

When encountered, everyone would retreat or go around, fearing for their lives.

According to Chen Qiao Shan, even Old Shi Wu at the Bone Refinement Stage would not deliberately challenge a second-grade mountain pig!

There was no assurance of victory.

But Wang Chen wasn’t Old Shi Wu.

Such a big fellow, being a second-grade fierce beast, would undoubtedly benefit his cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method.

Wang Chen was determined to have that pork!

The moment he landed, he thrust his knife toward the large mountain pig’s rear.

While the mountain pig munched on the bat’s corpse, its tail swung excitedly, exposing its only vital spot.

Thud!

Wang Chen struck with 90% of his strength, embodying speed, precision, and ferocity as the sharp tip of the knife penetrated the mountain pig’s rear crucial spot without hesitation.

The long blade followed, even burying the handle inside.

“Roar—”

The mountain pig let out an earth-shattering scream.

This strike was exceptionally brutal, directly piercing through the pig’s intestines, inflicting unimaginable pain and damage.

The nearly two thousand-pound mountain pig suddenly charged forward, knocking one of its little ones to the ground and trampling over it.

After running ten steps, it abruptly turned around, its red eyes glaring at the true culprit that had inflicted such great harm, its pupils filled with resentment.

Wang Chen smiled.

Then he jumped up, grabbing a vine wrapped around the tree trunk, and instantly sprang back onto a branch.

Bang!

In the next moment, the enraged mountain pig crashed into the tree trunk.

The treetop shook violently, and countless leaves fell.

The force of the impact was astonishing.

Unfortunately, the towering tree was too large for three men to embrace, and no matter how much stronger the mountain pig became, it could never knock it down, instead driving its tusks deep into the trunk.

For a moment, it couldn’t pull them out.

The fierce beast struggled desperately, emitting sounds of discontent and despair, with bright red blood seeping from its mouth.

More blood gushed out behind it.

That was the most deadly part.

Wang Chen sat high on the branch, looking down as the massive beast slowly lost its strength.

As it breathed its last, he finally jumped down from the tree again.
