Two black-robed guards hurriedly stopped Zhou Qingfeng.
"Old Zhou, don't worry. That Wild Boar King is no match for the Undead!"
"We've fought before. The Wild Boar King won't get away with it!"
"What? We've fought once!"
Zhou Qingfeng calmed down a bit, still half-convinced.
The two waiting Undead charged forward, sickles in hand, black flames blazing within their armor!
The Wild Boar King had used his skills twice in a short period of time, draining most of his stamina and suffering heavy injuries!
Before he could recover, he charged again!
"Bang!"
The force of the blow to the Undead was much weaker. The Undead only stumbled back a few steps as it grabbed hold of him.
Then he displayed agility and strength comparable to the Wild Boar King, attacking from both sides and severing the horse's legs!
However, it was still a power-up monster. While the Boar King's speed slowed, its aura remained undiminished!
It rose again and charged at the Undead!
But the Undead was as nimble as a monkey, and the Boar King couldn't touch it at all!
After several blows, the hideous wounds piled up! The Boar King's speed slowed, blood coating his body. Gradually, he collapsed from exhaustion and died!
Seven wild boars, one Boar King! All dead!
[Kill a Level 5 Boar, gain 100 experience points, Boar Tusk*1]
[Kill a Level 6 Boar King, gain 150 experience points, Boar King Tusk*1]
Several spirits flew out simultaneously!
Lin Ran's experience points and energy points soared simultaneously, and a beam of white light rose from his body!
Promoted to Level 5! Undead Core (Level 6)!
[Name: Lin Ran]
[Occupation: Necromancer]
[Level: 5]
[Experience: 3%]
[Strength: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Spirit: 25]
[Constitution: 10]
[Talent: Undead Core (Level 6) (2%): Devours the souls of the dead, increasing the power of all skills by 6x]
[Undead Substitute: When damaged, the marked Undead warrior takes all damage for the host]
[Skills: Summon Undead (Quantity: 10/20), Whisper of the Dead]
His Spirit Power has doubled, and his other stats have increased by 4 points. This is quite a significant increase for a mere mage like him.
Remembering that his stats were only 1 at the beginning, I'm afraid a single basic attack would be enough to crush them!
More importantly, his Undead Core has reached Level 6, bringing all stats to a staggering 90 points!
He truly is a killer! "Haha, the Wild Boar King is really dead! We can eat pork tonight! Pork!"
Liu Bo's eyes glowed green, his fear gone. He jumped up excitedly.
After eating dried sweet potatoes and noodle dumplings every day, he'd forgotten the last time he'd had meat. Today, he finally had some meat!
"Amazing!"
Bai Yue'er's mouth opened slightly, her eyes wide.
"Bozi, Yue'er, quickly divide the meat. This place reeks of blood. It might attract wild animals or other people, and who knows if they'll snatch it up!"
Lin Ran knew the allure of wild boars. He'd seen them looting for food more than once! He immediately divided up the pork.
"Okay!"
The two responded and hurriedly set to work. They worked for a full half hour, nearly filling up their storage space.
"Hahaha!"
"Boss, you can kill a wild boar king this big. Is that sickle in the hand of that undead you summoned some kind of magical weapon? The wild boar king's hair is as hard as iron, even arrows can't penetrate it, and that sickle swishes like tofu!"
Liu Bo was particularly excited, casting an admiring glance at Lin Ran, but Lin Ran caught him and nodded his head.
"Today's business isn't over yet!"
"Yue'er, please ask the boss for mercy!"
The three chatted and laughed as they gradually walked away.
I knew Lin Ran's undead were powerful, but I hadn't expected them to be so formidable!
This is the Wild Boar King. What an easy win!
"Wild Boar King! He actually took it down!"
"This little guy is truly a hidden talent. You can't tell at all!"
The black-robed guard praised Lin Ran unabashedly.
Zhou Qingfeng's face was filled with confusion. He'd been a job transfer instructor for over a decade, yet he'd never imagined he'd be wrong!
This undead's attributes were clearly average, yet how could it display such astonishing speed and strength?
This moment plunged him into deep thought.
"Eh? Old Zhou, why are they gone? Your test isn't over yet!"
The black-robed guards, Old Liu and Old Wang, were stunned.
Zhou Qingfeng sighed and left dejectedly.
"Alas! They didn't even participate in the assessment. What a shame!" The knight shook his head.
"Are you kidding? An A-rank miko, an A-rank flame knight, and don't tell me that necromancer didn't participate either!"
The black-robed guard demanded.
"If he had, would Old Zhou be like this?" Another knight nodded.
"You...you guys! Sigh!"
The black-robed guard was speechless. He'd let someone with such potential go!
This is like a cooked duck that flew away.
Old Wang, however, smiled.
"Don't worry, you don't understand Old Zhou yet. He's definitely not resigned to this fate. He'll definitely go back tonight. Want to make a bet?"
The three of them returned to Bai Yue'er's home!
Her house was the only wooden one in the area; the others were built of straw. Their conditions were much better. The three of them spotted a middle-aged man sitting in the hall.
He was short, about 1.6 meters tall, with a pale complexion and a thin build, dressed in a patchwork, rough yellow cloth.
He frowned, carefully calculating his income and food.
He was Bai Yue'er's father, Bai Wujiang, a simple and honest man. If it weren't for him, Lin Ran and Liu Bo wouldn't be alive today!
"Uncle Bai, we got prey!"
Liu Bo shouted excitedly.
"Hunting? Didn't you guys go change jobs?" Bai Wujiang put down his pen, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"I changed jobs, and then I went hunting in the forest. Uncle Bai, I wonder if that wild boar king..." Lin Ran immediately pushed Liu Bo aside and glared at him.
"You're the only one who talks too much!"
Liu Bo immediately shut up.
"Uncle, it's nothing. I killed a lot, and there's not enough room in the kitchen. I need to find some wire to hang it up!"
Bai Wujiang thought Lin Ran was joking.
"No room? Xiaoran, you're kidding me. You know my kitchen can fit a 500-pound wild boar, so how could it not fit?"
Lin Ran shook his head and took it out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Plate after plate of pork piled up, burying him!
Gazing at Bai Wujiang's dazed expression, Bai Yue'er and Liu Bo kept their smiles on!
Bai Wujiang's mind froze. He touched the pork, still warm, and swallowed.
"This...so much! Are you hunting or stocking up?"
In the past, even catching a rabbit was a blessing; catching a wild boar was unthinkable.
Bai Wujiang gave a thumbs-up to the others, a gleam of pride on his face.
"Hehe!"
As Yue'er and Bozi smiled, a hint of shyness appeared on their faces.
Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Lin Ran unconsciously touched the tip of his nose, feeling very happy.
"We haven't had meat in ages, so tonight, we'll prepare some hearty dishes for you. Yue'er, go buy some wine later. I'll have a drink with Xiaoran and Bozi!"
"Okay, okay!" Liu Bo's eyes lit up with laughter, his chubby face revealing two dimples. "Uncle Bai, the boss and I will go back and change clothes. We'll be right back!"
Not long after Lin Ran and Liu Bo left, Zhou Qingfeng slowly walked into the Bai residence!
