MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

 Chapter 12 Inexplicable Strengthening

By the time Xie Wen reacted, another wild boar king was already close at hand.

 “Fuck!”

There was no time to block the Salted Fish Sword in front of him. Xie Wen could only curl up as much as possible and use his arms and legs to resist the impact of the Wild Boar King.

 “Bang!”

As expected, Xie Wen was knocked out directly.

 Fortunately due to his size, the Wild Boar King's fangs did not penetrate his body, but only left a not too serious wound on his shoulder.

In addition, although his whole body was in severe pain, Xie Wen found that the injuries he suffered did not seem to be as serious as he imagined.

Although in the inherited memory, those hunters can even withstand the tail of the red and black dragon a few times, but that premise is that they are all wearing equipment made of high-level monster materials. If it were changed to my situation without wearing any equipment, even Bobo It can cause considerable damage to hunters.

What’s more, his current body is still that of a child!

 So, this is the credit of Sanji’s cat rice? Or has the time travel benefit also improved my physical strength?

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

After Xie Wen fell to the ground, he immediately rolled on the ground, endured the pain and got up. Then he held a branch he picked up from somewhere with both hands and took a stance towards the Wild Boar King...

 …Fuck! Where is my knife? !

A qualified Blue Star will certainly not throw away the weapon in his hand just because he is hit by a monster, but Xie Wen's Blue Star is a semi-finished product, and he cannot keep the weapon in his hand under any circumstances...

In fact, even if it is a real Blue Star, it is possible to lose its weapon in battle. After all, the real world is not like in the game. Even if it is hit by monsters and flies all over the sky, the weapon will still stick to the hand firmly. or automatically put it into the scabbard for you.

Of course, the Wild Boar King couldn't talk about martial arts. He just stayed there and waited for Xie Wen to pick up his weapon before continuing the fight. Therefore, Xie Wen didn't even have time to find Bai Nagi's whereabouts, and its second impact came again.

Xie Wen threw away the wooden stick in his hand, swooped to avoid the impact of the Wild Boar King, and at the same time quickly searched the nearby ground.

Although the place is overgrown with weeds, the fresh sword Bai Nagi is quite conspicuous in terms of size, color, and shape, so Xie Wen quickly found his weapon.

 Fortunately, this time the opponent is the Wild Boar King.

Xie Wen was avoiding the attack of the Wild Boar King and running in the direction of Bai Nagi. At the same time, he was still secretly rejoicing in his heart.

The model of wild boars determines that their attack methods are very simple. As long as you have enough speed and reaction, it is relatively easy to avoid their attacks, so Xie Wen quickly picked up his weapon and then turned around Just cut the Wild Boar King's foot with one knife.

"Huh?"

 However, the damage caused by this attack was much smaller, and the Wild Boar King's actions were not even greatly affected.

 Is it because the bigger one has thicker skin and thicker flesh, or is it for some other reason?

 While Xie Wen was calmly dealing with the Wild Boar King, he was still analyzing the reasons why there was such a big difference between the two attacks.

 Speaking of which, when I killed the Lin Sheep King yesterday, apart from the Climbing Dragon Slash, it seemed that only the final Kamui Iai had the "cutting off" effect.

  What the two have in common is...

 Xie Wendu turned on the ghost-human state.

  Is the increase in attack after becoming a ghost so exaggerated?

Xie Wen planned to use the wild boar king in front of him to test it.

so…

 He stuffed a meatball into his mouth first.

There is no way. With his current physical condition, even if the ghost transformation was only activated for a few seconds, nearly one-third of his physical strength has been consumed. To be on the safe side, he still needs to recover first.

After eating a meatball, Xie Wen immediately felt that his physical strength was replenished, so he quickly activated his ghost transformation.

 The next step is naturally the most favorite part of hunters: cutting off the feet.

However, after a few cuts, the Wild Boar King's four legs were still on his body, and at most he was a little lame.

 It seems that just transforming into a ghost is not enough.

Xie Wen was still analyzing calmly. After all, in addition to becoming a ghost, he also used sword skills such as air blade slashing and Kamui Iai.

However, judging from the battle with the Linyang King, simple air blade slashing should not be enough. The Dragon Climbing Slash was somewhat effective, but the feeling of cutting it up at that time was far less relaxed than when it had just cut off the Wild Boar King's legs.

The correct answer is basically clear, but Xie Wen still wants to test whether the power of Kamui Iai, or even ordinary Iai, is enough to make the final decision in a battle of this level without being transformed into a demon. So after Xie Wen was relieved of his ghost transformation, he stuffed two more pieces of bacon into his mouth...

Hmm... this is what a hunter with a short stamina gauge looks like.

But then again, this is the first time Xie Wen has used cat rice to replenish his physical strength so frequently. There is no sign of a slowdown in the recovery speed, but...

  A little supportive.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　�

Xie Wen exhaled a long breath, slightly relieved the feeling of fullness in his stomach, and then put Bai Nagi back into the scabbard.

The Wild Boar King in front of him has all four legs seriously injured, and his mobility has been greatly reduced. Therefore, Xie Wen does not need to continue to fight with it, because there are flaws everywhere.

And the main purpose now is to test the lethality of the move, so there is no need to specifically pursue cutting off the feet.

Xie Wen took two steps to the side, took aim briefly, and then suddenly pulled out the sword from its sheath, and slashed the side of the Wild Boar King with a mediocre Iai strike.

Blood spattered, and the Wild Boar King let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground.

 It feels a little dull in the hand.

However, Xie Wen didn't care much about the result of this battle. He felt the feedback of the knife just now and observed the knife wound on the Wild Boar King...

 There should be no broken bones.

It seems that although the power of ordinary Iai is higher than that of air blade slash, it still cannot cut it in two.

So Xie Wen continued to take the sword, this time, it was Kamui Iai!

The Wild Boar King, who had just struggled to get up, was hit hard again. This knife was chopped directly on its head, not only cutting off one of its fangs, but also directly opening it.

Then the Wild Boar King immediately lay back down again, but this time it could not stand up again, it was already completely dead.

Well, although it is not as easy as turning into a demon, Kamui Iai is enough to deal with these large monsters whose defense is not very strong. This is still very important for Xie Wen, who currently has a short physical strength bar.

After sheathing the knife, Xie Wen looked at the wild boar king that he had knocked down at the beginning. It had lost its two legs and could not stand up at all. And with the massive loss of blood, even if it was not dead, There were not many breaths left.

 “Xie Wen, are you okay?!”

After Sanji Miao saw that the two wild boar kings had been dealt with, he immediately jumped down from the tree where he was hiding and ran to Xie Wen.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a little scratch.” Xie Wen smiled and touched his head, “My body seems to be much stronger than I thought.”

"You idiot, you almost scared me to death, meow!" Seeing that Xie Wen was okay, Sanji meow got angry at him, "How did you get the title of Blue Star? You can actually fight. When I’m in a daze, meow!”

Sanji, who became more and more angry as he spoke, jumped directly on Xie Wen, raised his little paws and punched him on the head, "If you idiot dies, who will take me to find the beautiful Ellu cat?" Sister, meow?!”

Facing the kitten’s unusual concern, Xie Wen could only apologize with a wry smile.

“By the way, speaking of Sister Ellu, don’t you want to know what’s new in the Hunter’s Manual?” Xie Wen had an idea and said to Sanji, who was still unwilling to give in.

Sanji Meow immediately jumped off Xie Wen's body, "Hurry up and take it out, Meow!"

 “…Tsk!”

Even though the goal was achieved, why did Xie Wen feel so unhappy?

But he still took out the hunter's manual, and sure enough, the information about the Wild Boar King was updated in the large monster manual...

 Then there is no more.

"Meow..." No new summoning ticket fragments appeared, and Sanji's tail and ears drooped instantly.

 Looking at Maomao's disappointed and depressed look, Xie Wen's mood suddenly improved.

There are too many strange creatures in the pirate world, and with the larger number of Neptunes, if you see a monster, there will be a fragment, and it won’t be long before the protagonist is surrounded by a lot of El cats...

That way, instead of traveling around with a few cats, you will be pushing the pirate world with an army of cats, so it is necessary to limit the acquisition of summoning coupons.

In addition, the average pirate is a little stronger, so the protagonist’s physical strength must also be strengthened, otherwise how can he play with those guys who are good at sit-ups.

So the protagonist has the skills of a monster hunter + the physique of a pirate, not just Blue Star.
