Chapter 3: Ch3: The first step of the plan
Mo Bai's gaze lingered on the corpse for barely three seconds before he quickly slipped behind a large tree, waiting for the second boar. A short dagger, perfectly sized for his right hand, slid out from its sheath as he stole glances, anticipating the horned boar's arrival.
About thirty seconds later, the delayed second boar finally rushed to the same spot, halting abruptly as it noticed the large pit before it.
At that moment, seeing the horned boar approaching, Mo Bai wasted no time. In the blink of an eye, he leapt onto the boar from behind.
Quickly gripping the boar with his left hand and feet, Mo Bai drove the sharp short blade deep into its skull. A spray of hot blood stained his face crimson.
"Arrgh!"
The boar screamed violently, blood pouring from its head, struggling fiercely to throw Mo Bai off its back. But Mo Bai held tight, plunging his dagger twice more into the creature's head in just three seconds, before finally being thrown off with a heavy thud by the severely bleeding beast.
Meanwhile, the boar continued bleeding, attempting to move and attack, but it only managed a slow, weak step before collapsing sideways into a pool of its own blood.
"Hah, another prey added to the list. Successfully killed." Mo Bai exhaled, muttering to himself as he wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve.
"Alright, time to gather resources." He drew a small dagger and approached the fallen boar, beginning to skin it and extract valuable parts like the horn and fur.
