Chapter 289 Commander, We've Come to Deliver the Butcher's Knife
At Bai Zhizhou's prompting, Zhong Liyu threw the man into the altar.
The cultivators closest to White Continent were somewhat puzzled:
"Why does it feel like this NPC gave a trick to clearing the game, but it doesn't feel real?"
"It's a mix of truth and falsehood. The moment he saw us, he assumed we were Taoist priests rather than travelers, which is strange in itself. It can only mean that cultivators must have been here before. But why did these cultivators come here and do what the man said? And why is the Pig God still here?" Zhong Liyu said.
"Yes, and if this altar has a knife that can subdue the pig god, why didn't this man go down and get it for us himself? Why did we have to go get it?"
"So he's lying?"
“He’s definitely lying. One minute he’s calling it a pig, the next he’s calling it a pig god. This altar is definitely haunted. It’s no wonder this man died. He says he had a change of heart and reformed, but he wasn’t one of the villagers who supported him before. He did all the dirty things he could. Now he says he had a change of heart, but I think it was just because of unequal distribution of benefits that he wanted to kill the pig god and other villagers.” Zhong Liyu shrugged.
"Damn, after this analysis, everyone suddenly seems so amazing."
"We learn by observation. Our commander is so strong, we have to keep up, right?"
"That's true, haha. But Bai Zhizhou, what should we do now?"
Bai Zhizhou: "You can only believe half of what he said. There is a sword that can subdue monsters, but it is not inside the altar. The other side of the altar should be connected to the monsters, and going there will result in death."
Zhong Liyu, sword in hand, searched the lair thoroughly: "This man is ruthless. So, we were actually used as sacrifices by him? He's colluded with the demons quite deeply. It's too good for him to die like this."
The knife was hard to find in the lair, so the live stream switched back to Jiang He's location.
In the 21st century, pig slaughtering methods can be categorized into several types, including electric shock, stabbing to the heart, and beating to death with sticks.
"The electric shock method requires using an electric shock tool to clamp the pig's head, killing it at the ears. There's no electricity, so we'll pass for now."
Jiang He mentally simulated the method of slaughtering a pig.
The most reliable method is to assassinate the heart; the same applies to dealing with monsters.
"Li Ling, you and Ming Ye tie one of the monster's legs, and the rest of you work together in pairs to tie the other three legs."
As Jiang He spoke, the first wave of attacks from the demons had already reached them.
The monster had lived in Pig God Village for decades and had become accustomed to the peaceful life there. It adopted the most primitive attack method, which was to charge.
The monster pig is enormous, about ten meters long.
As it charged, it exerted force with its legs, blowing up the thick layer of mud and ash on the ground, creating a choking cloud of dust.
Remembering Jiang He's words, Li Ling focused her gaze on the demon.
The long fangs, sharpened by years of chewing, slashed towards Li Ling's leg in a single move.
Li Ling jumped quickly, and when she left the spot, there was a deep pit in the ground, a pit created by the impact of the fangs.
The monster relies solely on physical collisions. It doesn't hunt much, its movements are not agile, and its speed is much slower than that of a typical A-rank monster.
However, in the eyes of Li Ling and the others who had no spiritual power, the boar's attack was still extremely dangerous, like that of a demon. Especially just now, it was only a centimeter away from piercing Li Ling's skin with its tusks.
The weaknesses of this A-rank monster are still unknown. After entering the hidden dungeon, in addition to the inability to use spiritual power, communication devices are also disabled, which is why Jiang He has not been able to contact Bai Zhizhou and the others yet.
Without communication equipment to locate weaknesses, everyone still followed Jiang He's instructions.
Jiang He didn't know the weaknesses of the monster pigs in this world, but she knew the weaknesses of pigs in the 21st century.
The heart is its vulnerable spot.
Because they lack spiritual energy, they now have to be extremely careful with every step they take.
In order to kill the monster.
Everyone started moving.
Li Ling aimed carefully, grabbed the thick hemp rope, and began to tie it up. She bent down to avoid the monster's attack, then bent down and passed under the pig, the rope wrapping around the pig's leg.
Feeling the restraints on its feet, the pig moved slightly, stamping its feet in an attempt to break free of the ropes.
The moment the monster moved, Li Ling was pulled away by a great force and almost thrown against the wall.
Jiang He quickly grabbed Li Ling and then picked up the other end of the rope and handed it to another cultivator.
After realizing that stomping its feet couldn't remove the binding sensation, the pig stopped paying attention to the weak cultivators. In its mind, humans were fragile.
Whether it's an ordinary human or a human wielding a weapon, it won't flee unless the knife comes right in front of it.
In this way, the monks on the field had already tied up and secured the pig.
Some used hemp rope, while others used metal rope and iron chains.
The chains binding the demons were thick, with two cultivators holding onto each leg.
The four teams were pulled in four different directions and kept in place.
The monster kept struggling, and he chose to continue attacking with his fangs, the sharp teeth cutting through the hemp rope.
Bound by hemp rope, Li Ling fell to the ground with the force of the recoil. She pulled on another metal rope, this time binding her even more tightly and neatly.
The cultivators who had stopped the demon were in position, and the next step was for the other cultivators, armed with swords, to attack the demon.
Jiang He kept her eyes fixed on the pig's heart, then pressed the sword down.
The cultivators of Jingxu Academy, seeing this, followed suit and all pointed to the large heart.
Perhaps Jiang He's guess was correct; once a cultivator attacked the demon's heart, the pig-like demon would suddenly leap up and struggle to break free of its ropes.
The pig was very strong. With a swing of its body, the eight cultivators who had their limbs bound fell to the ground. They couldn't bind the limbs at all.
Seeing that the monster was about to break free of the ropes and pounce on Jiang He, she quickly told the other students to take its place.
Jiang He's sword slashed at the pig's skin again and again. The pig kept trying to dodge, but it was difficult to avoid so many swords.
Everyone was stabbing the pig with their swords, even though swords only work their best against A-level monsters when they have spiritual energy.
But they can't worry about that now. If they don't kill this A-rank monster, they won't get any reward, and they won't be able to get out either.
Jiang He's sword continued to pierce the hard pigskin, just as it had when she chopped at the stone statue.
It took a lot of effort for everyone to damage the pig's skin and expose its internal organs.
"Commander, we're here!"
As Jiang He and Li Ling fought fiercely, Zhong Liyu's voice grew louder as they approached.
Upon meeting, the gleaming knife in Zhong Liyu's hand was particularly eye-catching.
Not only Zhong Liyu arrived, but Bai Zhizhou was followed by most of the Wanjue Academy cultivators who had joined the instance with Jiang He.
