Chapter 659: Chapter 658: Are You TM Called Wild Boar George?

As Zhang Yanhang was observing the group of Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars, he didn’t expect one of the male Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars to charge at him with a skill similar to "Charge."

"Are you the one they call Wild Boar George, huh?"

Watching the ugly Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar, comparable in size to a heavy-duty truck, bulldozing through mud and plant debris, Zhang Yanhang didn’t coddle it and punched it directly in the face, sending it flying back with a ’boom,’ faster than it came, crashing into the midst of its fellow boars.

With that punch, Zhang Yanhang turned Wild Boar George from four-eyed to cross-eyed, and incidentally gave it a fractured skull and burst its brain, which was probably the main goal, with the cross-eyed effect being merely incidental due to the depression in its head.

Now that there were only eight monsters left in the Swamp Area, Zhang Yanhang didn’t bother showing off and found it very easy to kill them with a single punch.

Seeing a Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar killed instantly, the remaining six Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars activated their demonization skills at an incredibly fast pace, transforming before Zhang Yanhang could blink, completely overpowering the previous monsters.

Their skin turned from pink to black after demonization, their mane hardened into backward-facing spikes, and their bodies inflated again, almost reaching ten meters in length and almost as tall as a three-story building.

But maybe because demonization reduced their intelligence, or maybe they were just naturally dumb, another male Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar charged at Zhang Yanhang with the same Charge-like skill.

"So, you like trudging through mud pits, huh?"

Watching the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar advancing at a staggering speed of 130 yards—way over the speed limit for any road, nearly rivaling a civilian helicopter, yet its size resembled a heavy truck—Zhang Yanhang once again punched it directly in the face.

Boom!

The Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar, charging through the mud at high speed, had its head, as big as a two-story building, shatter from the center, its eyeballs squeezed inward bleeding, muscles torn, skull shattered, and brain tissue destroyed, with its entire head instantly exploding into a splash of flesh.

But this time, Zhang Yanhang had also activated a Splash effect, launching chunks of bone fragments, as large as debris from demolition, with the force he had delivered, slamming brutally into the two_behind it, which seemed poised to attack, turning them into sieves.

"Speaking of which, if the first one I killed was the curiosity-driven George, does that mean the next ones are Pig Dad, then Uncle Pig, and Grandpa Pig?"

Zhang Yanhang noticed that all the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars he just killed were male, while the remaining three were female, which he guessed were probably something like Pig Mom, Aunt Pig, and Grandma Pig.

Despite having already killed four, the remaining three Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars still charged at Zhang Yanhang single-mindedly, letting him fully understand the meaning of ’rushing forward like pigs.’

"Since you don’t appreciate favors, let’s not keep them."

With another punch, Zhang Yanhang instantly burst the face of the front-running Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar.

However, since Zhang Yanhang didn’t activate Splash this time, the other two Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars took advantage of their companion’s exploding head to finally reach Zhang Yanhang, bumping into his Energy Shield.

Unfortunately, due to a recent increase in defensive power, even after demonization, their Skill Attack only stirred a slight ripple on the Energy Shield, barely scratching off a single-digit Shield Value.

"Ah, giving you a chance, and you waste it!" Zhang Yanhang didn’t know why, but he was particularly talkative today, perhaps because he was about to clear the entire Demonized Swamp, which excited him; so under this excitement, Zhang Yanhang retaliated with two punches, blasting the last two Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars’ heads apart.

Ignoring the dark red blood and splattered flesh flying through the air, Zhang Yanhang quietly savored the kill notification sounds.

"Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars are unexpectedly strong, worth 120 Soul points each, which is even 20 points higher than the Second Tier Two Star Elite Monsters, Maka Bagga from the Goblin Plain. Just from this Soul point value difference, it feels like the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar could easily crush Maka Bagga."

Zhang Yanhang believed that the reason why the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar could reach such high Soul points value must be due to its own size and tonnage advantage; otherwise, it absolutely could not have reached such a level of Soul points value.

If this group of Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars were only about the size of a normal wild boar from the Main World, meaning at most the size of a minivan, then Zhang Yanhang felt that they might not even qualify as Second Tier Three Stars but could only be rated as Second Tier Two Stars or perhaps fill the gap between the Demonized Saber-toothed Tiger and Demonized Emperor Crocodile by rating them as Second Order One Star.

After having killed all seven Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars, Zhang Yanhang quietly stood in place and waited for the Drop treasure boxes to refresh. Seconds later, not knowing whether it was due to his good luck or the First Kill bonus, two Drop treasure boxes suddenly appeared hovering above the corpses of the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars.

Seeing the purple glow emanating from those two Drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang expressed his happiness as this was the first time he had obtained multiple Purple Drop treasure boxes.

Although there were only two, it was a promising start, indicating that Zhang Yanhang would get more Purple Quality Drop treasure boxes in the future, or rather, gradually normalize the acquisition of Purple Drop treasure boxes.

Since he was about to advance to Third Tier, he felt it was extremely abnormal if he couldn’t get Purple Drop treasure boxes, which were supposed to be categorized under Second Tier.

Zhang Yanhang immediately stepped forward, picked up the two Purple Quality Drop treasure boxes hovering in mid-air, and stashed them in his Waist Bag.

"In the remaining ten square kilometers of this Swamp Area, the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi is actually just stationed in a mud pond. So, at most, it only occupies one square kilometer, while the remaining nine square kilometers were actually occupied by the seven Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars I just killed.

Thus, after spending less than half a minute to kill these seven Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars, I once again cleaned nine square kilometers of the Swamp Area. Adding the previous thirty square kilometers, I have now cleared thirty-nine square kilometers of the Swamp Area.

The thirty-nine square kilometers I have currently cleared, if converted into the specific progress of the Fifth Stage of the Demonized Swamp cleansing plan, then it has already reached 97.5% of the clearing progress, which is an increase of 22.5% compared to half a minute ago.

With this rate of cleaning progress continuing like this, it’s not just about clearing the entire Swamp Area within today, but even cleaning the entire Demonized Swamp in the next minute is very likely to happen."

Given the current situation, Zhang Yanhang even felt he could clean up the new monsters refreshed in Raccoon City and the Goblin Plain before going to sleep tonight.

Unfortunately, because more monsters are expected to refresh tomorrow, Zhang Yanhang had already decided to wait until tomorrow to clean Raccoon City and Goblin Plain, and he also had to sleep early tonight to rise early tomorrow.

"I had previously cleared three hundred and ninety square kilometers of the Demonized Swamp area, and now I have added another nine square kilometers, making it three hundred and ninety-nine square kilometers—only leaving the last one square kilometer related to the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi.

If I now convert the area I have cleaned into the overall completion progress of the Demonized Swamp cleaning plan, then my current completion level of the Demonized Swamp cleaning plan can directly increase from the original 97.5% to 99.8%, another increase of 2.3% in progress, with just the final 0.2% left before completing the Demonized Swamp cleaning plan completely.

Moreover, if I said the progress of my Demonized Swamp cleaning plan was originally only thirty-nine out of forty, now it had directly turned into three hundred ninety-nine out of four hundred.

Last time, only twenty square kilometers were cleaned, which quadrupled the numerator and denominator, but this time it was even more exaggerated. Just nine square kilometers were cleaned, and the numerator and denominator directly increased tenfold...

Zhang Yanhang glanced at the time on his watch. It was still ten twenty-three, and there were nearly twenty seconds left until the end of ten twenty-three. With some effort, it was not just possible to kill the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi in the next minute, but he might even be able to eliminate her right away.

Thinking this, Zhang Yanhang immediately rushed toward the location of the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi.

...

October 27th, Tuesday, the day after the Double Ninth Festival, also the third day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World. It was ten twenty-three in the evening, in the Demonized Swamp, Swamp Area, at the private mud pond belonging to the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi.

After spending five seconds traveling, Zhang Yanhang quickly arrived at the mud pond where the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi was. When Zhang Yanhang reached the pond, Pei Qi was still joyously humming and playing in the mud, or rather, wrapping herself in mud.

Although he didn’t check the attribute list, Zhang Yanhang guessed that this might be one of the passive skills or active skills of the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi, specifically related to defensive power.

Looking at the thick mud armor wrapped around her body, it might not be very effective against energy attacks, but for physical attacks, it should still be quite useful, at least providing a buffering effect.

Zhang Yanhang was initially confused by her, only realizing after checking the evaluation settlement list that this Lord Monster turned out to be Pei Qi. It was mainly because he didn’t initially think along those lines, although he generally knew that Pei Qi liked playing in mud, he didn’t expect her to like it to such an extent.

Moreover, from Zhang Yanhang’s simple observations, he found that the size of the Lord Monster Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi was even larger than the already large Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar, roughly ten meters tall, about the height of a three-story building, and about fifteen meters in length.

With such a large stature, not to mention a heavy truck, even in a fishing boat, she would at least be considered a medium-sized fishing boat. Zhang Yanhang estimated that the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi’s weight alone must reach tens of tons, and possibly, it was even likely that her tonnage had reached three digits.

While Zhang Yanhang was quietly reflecting on this, the originally happy Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi rolling around in the mud pond suddenly activated her demonization skill.

Although Zhang Yanhang did not know what level the Demonized Wild Boar Queen Pei Qi’s demonization skill had reached, he clearly felt that as a Third Tier monster, her demonization was significantly stronger than that of other monsters.
