However, the obstructed vision coupled with intense pain made the already not-so-smart head of the Tusker Mountain Pig unable to figure out the reason for its severe injuries, so it could only furiously vent its anger on the surrounding ancient trees.
Its massive body thrashed wildly through the forest, violently knocking down ancient trees one by one.
However, the Hunting Beast Hall hunters hidden on the ancient trees had already moved themselves to more distant ancient trees using ropes.
On the contrary, as the massive body of the Tusker Mountain Pig continued to thrash about, the hunters hidden on other ancient trees successively threw the iron spears in their hands, leaving wounds on the Tusker Mountain Pig's massive body. Although they were only superficial wounds, their accumulation could not be ignored.
Lin Sheng stared intently at the thrashing figure of the Tusker Mountain Pig below, watching as this ferocious exotic beast charged towards him. He gripped the iron rod in his hand, took a deep breath, and waited for the opponent to approach before throwing the iron rod in his hand, then using the rope to leave the ancient tree he was on.
Just as the Tusker Mountain Pig was only five meters away from the ancient tree where he was hiding, his attention was almost entirely focused on the massive creature below the tree.
"Now!"
Lin Sheng thought to himself, raised the iron rod in his hand, locked onto the Tusker Mountain Pig's neck, and fiercely threw the iron rod in his hand.
However, at this moment, a sound of rushing wind came from behind him. At this point, his old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated. Although he didn't know what the sound of rushing wind behind him was, he knew without thinking that it was definitely not a good thing. He had to admit that the timing of this sneak attack was extremely precise.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Sheng exerted himself to adjust his body and slid directly down from the tree. His body displayed agility and flexibility beyond ordinary people, and he narrowly avoided the object behind him.
Only a muffled thud was heard, and a dent about an inch deep had appeared on the trunk of the ancient tree in front of him, with a smooth cobblestone firmly embedded in it.
There was no time to look closely. Although he avoided this sneak attack, it was difficult for him to maintain his balance, and he was rapidly sliding down from the tree at this moment.
An ancient tree over ten meters high, even if a Body Tempering Martial Artist fell from such a height, he would inevitably be seriously injured.
Just as Lin Sheng's body was still five or six meters from the ground, his body suddenly stopped falling. At this moment, the veins on his left hand bulged, and his palm was tightly gripping a rope.
"Whoosh..."
Exhaling, Lin Sheng's forehead was dotted with cold sweat. Less than two meters below him, the Tusker Mountain Pig was rampaging wildly.
Fortunately, as his body was falling, his left hand had already grabbed the fixed rope in advance. When he saw Ma Qiang and the other person approaching his location, although he didn't pay too much attention to them, for the sake of safety, he still chose to enter the White Ape state.
The two points of agility increase were also enough to give him a chance to react when facing a crisis. It was this action that allowed him to avoid the sneak attack from behind and still have the strength to grab the rope.
Otherwise, it's not hard to imagine the outcome awaiting him.
Being injured by a sneak attack and falling from a tree over ten meters high to the ground, directly facing the rampaging Tusker Mountain Pig, he would definitely not have a good outcome. Perhaps he might really lose his life here.
Thinking this, he took a breath, grabbed the rope tightly, and agilely returned to the tree. Before the Tusker Mountain Pig crashed into this ancient tree he was on, he used the rope to land on another ancient tree not far away.
Only then did the stone in his heart loosen a bit, but the lingering fear in his heart had not yet dissipated.
"As expected, one must always speculate about people's hearts with the most malicious thoughts. In such a world, there can be no hint of luck..."
Lin Sheng muttered to himself, his eyes becoming indescribably sharp. He turned his head, his gaze falling on the two people on the ancient tree about twenty meters away who were looking at him with surprised eyes. Then he turned back, seemingly unconcerned, and focused his attention back on the Tusker Mountain Pig below.
However, he was slowly chewing on two names in his mouth.
"Ma Qiang, Liu Jie..."
"How is that possible? That kid actually dodged it!!"
Liu Jie's face was full of surprise, and there was some confusion in his eyes as he looked at Lin Sheng.
One must know that he had been in the Body Tempering Realm for two years. Besides cultivating the Raging Bull Fist, he also had a unique throwing skill.
Although it couldn't be considered a martial art, with his usual diligent practice and the developed hand strength brought by cultivating the Raging Bull Fist, the power he could unleash with this throwing skill was quite significant, and his accuracy was also quite high.
He had used this skill before, severely injuring a Body Tempering Martial Artist with whom he had a grievance through a sneak attack, and then easily taking his life.
He didn't expect to miss on an ordinary person who hadn't entered the Body Tempering Realm.
Noticing Ma Qiang's gaze towards him from the side, Liu Jie immediately said.
"That kid was just lucky just now. This time, I don't believe he can still dodge it."
After speaking, he already took out another smooth cobblestone from his pocket. However, before he could throw it again, he saw Lin Sheng not far away had already rolled over to the other side of the ancient tree, concealing his figure within the dense branches.
"Damn!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Jie couldn't help but curse, and had to put the stone back. In this situation, it was clear that the other party was already prepared, and it would obviously not be so easy for him to attack again.
And when Ma Qiang saw this scene, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
"Brother Liu, that kid has already noticed. If he spills the beans about what just happened and reports it to Tian Hu, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Ma Qiang felt a little worried, after all, the rules of the Hunting Beast Hall strictly prohibited attacking fellow disciples, especially during missions. Once conclusive evidence was found, it was said that one would have their martial arts crippled and be expelled from the Hunting Beast Hall.
After all, the hall prioritized missions. If their own people couldn't be united, how could they talk about completing missions wholeheartedly?
On the other hand, Liu Jie quickly calmed down and patted Ma Qiang's shoulder.
"Brother Ma, don't worry. When I took action just now, absolutely no one else saw it, and that ancient tree has also been smashed by that Tusker Mountain Pig. Even if they want to find any evidence, they definitely won't find any."
"So even if that kid reports this matter to Tian Hu, what can his one-sided statement prove? It won't be long before you and I leave this Ninth Squad. With your brother here, this little matter is nothing."
Speaking of this, Liu Jie seemed to think of something and said again.
"This time, that kid was lucky. But in the end, he's just a rookie who hasn't officially stepped onto the martial path. He can't cause much trouble. At worst, I'll let Captain Ma issue a transfer order and transfer him to the Third Squad. How to deal with him then will just be a matter of a word."
Hearing this, Ma Qiang's eyes lit up.
"That's right, why didn't I think of that? To avoid any further complications, after we return from this mission, I'll find my brother and have this kid transferred to him."
Thinking this, the slight worry in Ma Qiang's heart completely dissipated. Looking at Lin Sheng, who was hidden among the dense branches not far away, he sneered twice.
