Chapter 25: Rage
Old Man Zeng pondered for a moment before speaking solemnly, "Look, when you pick fruit, could you pick more and bring some to me, an old man? I'll pay you for your hard work, of course. There's not much fruit around here, and I want to get some for the kids to try and make snacks."
"That's no problem. Don't worry, I will bring it to you." Zhuang Yun said with a smile.
Bringing some fruit is no big deal, it’s just a matter of convenience.
"Hey? It's you."
Zhuang Yun heard someone talking next to him and patted him on the shoulder.
When he turned around, he saw a girl wearing a white tube-top miniskirt and a black and white short-sleeved jacket. The key point was that he recognized this face.
"It's you. I didn't expect you to be here too." Zhuang Yun remembered her, so he gave him a rice ball and told him to pay attention to the girl with the light ball.
"Yes, I've been here for a while." The person who spoke was Lu Jiu. He didn't expect to meet the single father when he came out to buy snacks.
Seeing that the two knew each other, Old Man Zeng clapped his hands and said, "You two know each other. You are both old customers of mine. It's amazing that we just ran into each other today."
A few people laughed, and Lu Jiu waved his hands, "It's nothing we can do. It depends on fate."
Lu Jiu ordered some snacks and prepared to eat them on the way to the fruit forest.
After getting the snacks, Zhuang Yun was about to pay when Lu Jiu stopped him and asked, "Did your daughter go to the amusement park?"
"Yes, she collects supplies on the edge of the city and exchanges them for money, so she can top up her card herself."
"That's great. Are you a casual gamer or a professional gamer now?"
Lu Jiu just asked casually. This time when she went to the Hundred Fruit Tree Forest, she and Shen Jufeng wanted to find some companions, otherwise it would be a bit conspicuous if they were alone.
"I'm a warrior."
Lu Jiu raised her head and looked at Zhuang Yun with surprise. "My teammates and I are looking for someone to go to the Hundred Fruit Forest with us. Do you want to come?"
Zhuang Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Go, I was planning to leave with the other teams tomorrow."
"That's perfect. We want to go fight that black pig. If we go together, we'll give you one-third of the reward."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yun raised his hand and wanted to say that it was not necessary, but Lu Jiu continued, "Don't think about repaying me for charging less. Just make it a decision, otherwise I will find someone else."
How could he refuse at this point? "Okay, I'll listen to you." Anyway, his benefactor also lived in Xuantian City, so he wouldn't be afraid of not finding an opportunity to repay him in the future.
*
When he went out to buy snacks, he found a temporary teammate. Lu Jiu felt that he had also been affected by a bit of Shen Jufeng's good luck, and he hummed a little tune all the way back.
The first thing he did when he arrived was to send an email to Shen Jufeng to find a temporary teammate. The two of them did not act together and usually did their own things.
Only when doing big things will we form a team.
Shen Jufeng was at Xuantian Restaurant. He couldn't cook, so he went to the restaurant.
Seeing Lu Jiu's email saying that she had found a temporary teammate, who was someone she had saved before, he said that he would have to observe this teammate carefully tomorrow.
The next day at the city gate, when Zhuang Yun arrived at the designated location, he saw a tall man standing next to Lu Jiu. It seemed that this was another teammate.
Lu Jiu introduced them to each other, "This is Shen Jufeng, and this is Zhuang Yun."
The two men nodded to each other, and they knew each other.
They left early, and it's better to go early than late anyway.
In fact, since the news was released yesterday, I don’t know if anyone went to fight monsters overnight. It is not certain that you will see the black pig if you go this time. It is possible that it has already been killed.
This time we went to Baiguoshulin with more people to increase our strength. We always form a team of two, and it feels like there are too few people.
On the way, Zhuang Yun was a little reserved and only chatted briefly with Lu Jiu. The rest of the time he was concentrating on getting on his way, fearing that he would be too late to see the boss.
After hurrying, we finally arrived at the fruit forest. There were still so many fruits here, as if the branches were full of fruits again.
But when I came here, the ground was shaking slightly, and I heard a familiar howl. It was obvious that someone was fighting with the black pig.
The three of them rushed towards the direction where the howling sound came from.
Zhuang Yun followed and soon saw tall fruit trees fell down in groups. The back of the black pig could be clearly seen from a distance.
The size of the black pig was beyond his expectation.
As soon as they approached, they felt a heat rising from the ground. When they got closer, they felt the heat rushing towards them.
It turned out that a magician used fire skills to directly ignite the surrounding fruit trees. Lu Jiu looked at it and thought to himself what a waste.
The black pig only had half of its health left, it seemed that this group of people didn't fight for long.
As they approached, a man stood in front of them and stopped them. "We've already defeated half of this boss. It's none of your business."
This is to tell them to leave quickly and not think about stealing monsters.
Shen Jufeng did not retreat at all, and glanced indifferently at the man who stopped them. The man's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, could it be that he met a tough guy?
"We'll just take a look and leave later." He said while looking at the people who were beating the black pig with some disdain.
The man blocking the road had an expression on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?" and continued to stare at them, but he didn't dare to make a move.
The teammates of the man who was blocking the road were using their skills vigorously, hoping to kill the BOSS instantly with a few seconds of control. They soon reduced the black pig's health to only 10%.
Lu Jiu felt a little regretful and warned himself that he must fight the BOSS early!
Shen Jufeng thought it would be over soon, so he said nonchalantly, "Let's go pick some fruit to take away."
Lu Jiu followed dejectedly, but Zhuang Yun didn't feel any psychological gap, because he came here just to see the boss's style.
The man blocking the road breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they really turned around and left, thinking that these people were sensible.
But before they could take a few steps, the battle situation behind them suddenly changed. The BOSS's speed suddenly doubled. Seeing this, the captain rushed towards him and immediately pushed a teammate forward to hold it back, while the BOSS stepped on the unlucky player with its hoof.
A black pig of this size, stepping on it with its hooves is no joke. The person being stepped on will immediately feel their head go blank and their chest feel as if a mountain is pressing down on them.
That's just a big mountain of meat.
The man's teammates were shocked by the sudden change and retreated straight away. They were even more afraid of the captain's evil intentions, so no one immediately took action to save him. He then turned into white light and disappeared.
"How could this happen!" someone exclaimed.
System prompt: The wild boar BOSS's health is less than 8%, triggering a frenzy state, and all attributes except health are doubled.
“Fuck!”
They were so angry that they cursed at each other. The pig hadn't been violent last time, so how could they have triggered it so directly?
Even though this pig only has 64 HP left, its defense has doubled, so the damage they deal is lower. However, the BOSS's attack has been strengthened, so I wonder how long they can hold on.
"Xiao Tao!"
The man who was originally blocking the road heard his teammates calling him and knew he had to go help.
“Ahhh!”
To make matters worse, the black pig howled, freezing several people in place, and then rushed directly towards the crowded area.
The people who were targeted were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they wished that these 5 seconds would pass faster.
It was too late for the man named Xiao Tao to go forward. He watched helplessly as several of his teammates were run over by the pig and turned into white light.
I haven't had time to replenish my health since I started fighting monsters, and the little health I have left is no match for the heavily armed black pig with double attack power.
