Shawn Chen, who had been closely watching the boar, instantly dodged to the side, just avoiding it. "Phew... that was close..." Shawn Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but it seemed like it wasn't that difficult. Before the boar launched its attack, there was an obvious pre-attack motion, where it would scratch the ground with its front legs twice. As long as he wasn't directly in front of it and his speed wasn't too slow, it was relatively easy to dodge. After all, it would be too difficult to deal with such a high-damage skill with a displacement and stun effect if there was no pre-attack motion.

After charging past Shawn Chen, the boar quickly stopped and paused for about a second before turning around to chase Shawn Chen again.

Touching his chin, a gleam flashed in Shawn Chen's eyes as he continued to circle the boar. When the boar used its skill again, he easily dodged it. In the second that the boar paused, he quickly slashed the boar's butt with a sword and then retreated. By the time the boar turned around, Shawn Chen was already two body lengths away.

It really worked. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about the boar recovering health when it didn't have any poison. He also didn't have to worry about the boar suddenly launching its skill when he was close to finishing it off.

In this way, after a few minutes, the boar was low on health. Just when he was about to harvest it, another boar suddenly emerged from a nearby patch of grass and charged towards Shawn Chen without a word.

"D*mn it, are you playing with me?" Shawn Chen narrowly avoided it. He knew that there must be quite a few boars here, so he had been circling with the boar, not daring to go too far. Unexpectedly, another boar had come to find him. Monsters that would actively attack were just annoying.

Frowning, he should have left decisively at this point. If each boar hit him once, he would be dead. But looking at the boar that he could kill with just one more blow, Shawn Chen was still reluctant to give up.

Licking his lips, Shawn Chen stared at the two boars following him with sharp eyes, "Then let's try dancing on the edge of a knife." His talent meant that he would probably encounter such exciting situations often in the future, so it was better to get used to it early.

He continued to circle with the two boars. It was impossible to go up and finish it off at this time, otherwise, he would definitely be gored by both pigs. He could only slowly look for an opportunity.

Suddenly, the boar with low HP pawed the ground and charged towards him. Shawn Chen dodged calmly, then prepared to finish it off. But at that moment, the other boar also activated its skill. Shawn Chen had to give up on the finishing blow and dodged again. "D*mn it, they're cooperating! What's up with that?" Shawn Chen cursed. Seeing the poison on the low HP boar was about to wear off, he knew he had to act fast before it recovered. Looking at the two boars walking side by side, Shawn Chen carefully analyzed, "My agility is 13, and the boars' agility is 11. Our attack speeds are the same. If I hit it once, it can hit me back, and the interval won't be more than 0.01 seconds. In that time, I can't create enough distance to attack. But what if I don't attack first, and dodge when they're about to attack me, then attack again? That doesn't seem to work either. With my current movement speed, I can't move back and forth a body length in a second. At most, I can move one body length." "What if I don't create distance?" Shawn Chen suddenly thought. "If I dodge to the side of the low HP boar when both boars attack me, I can avoid the full HP boar's attack, take a hit from the low HP boar, and then hit it back and run. That way, I can completely withstand it if I only take one hit." Thinking about it, Shawn Chen slowly approached the two boars, his heart pounding. Although the theory sounded good, the execution was extremely demanding. If he didn't time it right, he would be sent back to town for free. Soon, he was within the boars' attack range. Seeing the boars' tusks charging towards him, "Now!" Shawn Chen's eyes lit up, and he dodged sideways to the low HP boar. The low HP boar's tusk hit Shawn Chen, but the other boar's attack missed. Shawn Chen quickly slashed back with his sword and then ran away, creating a body length of distance before the boars' second attack arrived. He had narrowly dodged the second attacks of both boars. "Phew... that was close... D*mn, playing this game almost gave me a heart attack. But this game is really high-skill. I guess I'll have to practice more to get used to it." Now, he just had to wait for the low HP boar to be slowly poisoned to death. He just had to be careful not to get hit by both of their skills at the same time. Soon, the low HP boar died reluctantly, and a system prompt sounded. "Ding, killed [Wild Boar], gained 20 experience. Killing an enemy five levels higher grants an additional 10 experience points."

"Ding, talent activated, poison damage increased by 1 point." "Phew... finally killed one. That was tough." Shawn Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the side of the boar's corpse. He found a boar's tooth besides the copper coins. He quickly ran around the other boar and picked up the two copper coins and the boar's tooth. [Tusks] A material, maybe some villagers need it, or you can sell it to the general store for 1 copper coin. Oh, is that all? I thought it was something good. Shawn Chen glanced at it disdainfully and threw it into his backpack. A copper coin is a copper coin. Money is so hard to earn in this game. Until now, he only had 12 copper coins. He killed monsters five levels higher than him, and each monster only dropped two copper coins. Looking at those groups of people hunting rabbits, not even half of them got a copper coin. This shows how low the drop rate in Oracle is. After quickly dealing with the remaining boar, Shawn Chen began to search for other boars. Once he found them, he would lure them here to kill. He was really afraid of encountering a situation with multiple boars again. Due to the improvement of his talent, his speed of killing boars was getting faster and faster. Finally, when he killed the eighth boar, it generously dropped another piece of equipment for him. [Boar Leather Armor] Quality: Common HP +40 Physical Defense +2 Requirements: None He quickly replaced his cloth armor. His HP reached 110 points, and his physical defense reached 9 points, providing him with a little more survivability. Continue. Kill two more and he can level up. At this moment, Shawn Chen's poison talent had stacked to 14 points, and the terror of this talent had begun to show. 14 points of damage per second, which is 840 points of true damage per minute. A boar has 2000 HP, and now he can kill one in just over two minutes, which is just three hits.

Soon, he killed two more boars, and the long-awaited level-up glow flashed over him, followed by a system prompt.

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up. HP +20, MP +10, gained 5 free attribute points, please allocate them wisely."

Shawn Chen added all five attribute points to agility, and his attributes changed accordingly.
