After Liang Mushui and his group had ventured another two kilometers, they quickly encountered new Wild Dogs.
It was a sturdy Wild Boar, with no fat on its entire body; it looked as if it was all muscle, with two tusks like elephant ivory on its mouth, and a tuft of blood-red hair on its head.
The moment it saw Liang Mushui and his group, the Wild Boar accelerated and charged towards them. This time, Xiao Luo reacted the fastest, immediately using a desk surface to block in front of him. However, when the Wild Boar crashed into Xiao Luo, he was sent flying seven or eight meters away. The Wild Boar also stopped after hitting Xiao Luo.
Mi Feng, seeing this, immediately took his wood-cutting knife and swung it with all his might at the Wild Boar, but Mi Feng felt as if he was chopping an iron plate. The wood-cutting knife only left a shallow scratch on the Wild Boar's body.
While Mi Feng was still marveling at the Wild Boar's tough hide, the Wild Boar shook its body and knocked Mi Feng away. Immediately after, the Wild Boar accelerated again and charged towards Mi Feng.
Just as Mi Feng was about to be hit by the Wild Boar, the Monk pushed Mi Feng away. Then, the Monk took the full force of the Wild Boar's attack, was sent flying seven or eight meters, and immediately fell unconscious.
The entire process only took a dozen seconds, and Liang Mushui's five-person team was completely at a disadvantage. But the Wild Boar did not stop because of this; its next target was Liang Mushui.
The Wild Boar charged at Liang Mushui in the same way, accelerating. At this moment, Liang Mushui suddenly calmed down, his concentration more focused than ever before. Seeing that the Wild Boar was about to hit him in the next second, Liang Mushui rolled to the side, and the Wild Boar crashed directly into a large tree behind Liang Mushui.
Perhaps because it failed to hit its prey, this enraged the Wild Boar. It immediately adjusted its direction and charged at Liang Mushui once again.
This time, Liang Mushui did not intend to dodge. He stared intently at the tuft of red hair on the Wild Boar's head, gripping his clothesline pole tightly with both hands.
When the Wild Boar charged in front of him again, Liang Mushui forcefully stabbed the clothesline pole into the red hair on the Wild Boar's head.
Strangely enough, even a sharp weapon like the wood-cutting knife could only leave a scratch on the Wild Boar's body, yet now Liang Mushui had managed to embed the clothesline pole into the Wild Boar's head.
When the Wild Boar reacted, it let out a painful roar, then charged around wildly like a mad beast.
Liang Mushui also let go of the clothesline pole in his hand, letting it remain stuck in the Wild Boar's head, then he hid to the side, quietly watching the Wild Boar go mad.
After about ten minutes, the Wild Boar seemed to have exhausted all its strength and slowly fell to the ground.
"Mi Feng, go and give him a few more cuts, remember to aim for the red hair," Liang Mushui said to Mi Feng when he saw the Wild Boar fall.
At this moment, Mi Feng finally realized that the red hair on the Wild Boar's head should be its weak point. So, he cautiously walked to the Wild Boar with his wood-cutting knife, confirmed that the Wild Boar was not moving, and then fiercely gave him a few more cuts.
The Wild Boar finally dissipated into a faint white light.
And on the ground, a thumb-sized white rhomboid crystal appeared. When Mi Feng picked it up, he found two lines of white text on it.
Skill: Savage Charge
Learn: Yes / No
"Great, this time a skill book dropped!" Mi Feng shouted excitedly to everyone.
"By the way, Brother Shui, how did you discover the Wild Boar's weakness?" Mi Feng asked, handing the rhomboid crystal to Liang Mushui.
"I'm not very sure either. I seemed to enter a very strange state just now. I always felt that the red hair on the Wild Boar's head was particularly attractive to me. Anyway, I just wanted to attack there," Liang Mushui said, glancing at the rhomboid crystal.
"This might be related to my talent," Liang Mushui thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, what are your talents?"
"My talent is 'Great Strength,' which can slightly increase my strength," Mi Feng said.
"My talent is 'Swift Walk.' It can slightly increase my movement speed," Xiao Luo said, limping over.
"Why do you all have talents, but I don't? My talent section is blank?" the Professor said with a bitter expression.
It seemed that not everyone had talents. Liang Mushui secretly noted this point.
"You don't have to be so discouraged. Now that the world has become like this, perhaps you can acquire talents through other methods in the future," Xiao Luo comforted the Professor.
"By the way, what should we do now? Should we continue exploring?" Mi Feng raised the question.
Now, in their five-person team, the Monk was unconscious, with two bloody holes on his body from the Wild Boar's tusks. Although Mi Feng had bandaged him with clothes, they couldn't just leave him. As for Xiao Luo, although the desk blocked the Wild Boar's attack, according to his description, he felt as if he had been severely hit by a car; the desk surface broke directly into two halves, and even his personal interface showed a 'internal injury' prompt next to his name. Liang Mushui's current state was also very poor; he felt extremely fatigued, as if he hadn't slept for two consecutive all-nighters. His personal interface also showed a 'mental fatigue' prompt next to his name.
Most of their five-person team had lost their combat effectiveness. Although death meant resurrection at the school, they couldn't just abandon the Monk. So, they unanimously decided to return to school. At the same time, Liang Mushui also suggested that Mi Feng learn a skill, as they were very likely to encounter Wild Dogs on their way back, and they desperately needed a strong bodyguard.
Liang Mushui's suggestion quickly received everyone's agreement, so after Mi Feng learned the Savage Charge skill, the five of them began to return to school.
Liang Mushui and Xiao Luo supported each other, while the Professor directly carried the Monk on his back. Mi Feng walked in front to lead the way. Liang Mushui had already made marks along the way they came, so they quickly found their way back.
Along the way, they encountered Wild Dogs several times, but Mi Feng was no longer the same as when they came. Holding his wood-cutting knife, one Savage Charge skill could basically take down one Wild Dog. He had also tested it, activating the skill once consumed 1/4 of his mana bar, and resting in place for about ten minutes could restore half of his mana bar.
Although there were bumps and scrapes along the way, they finally managed to return to school before dark.
When Liang Mushui and his group returned to school, they found a blackboard next to the Revival Spring, and the content on the blackboard surprised them greatly.
The blackboard contained a summary of the current world.
First, if you die, you will resurrect at the Revival Spring. However, there will be a weakened state, where your physical fitness will decrease by about 50%, lasting for approximately three hours. If you die again within these three hours, your physical fitness will basically decrease by 99%, and you will be unable to do anything except lie there, also lasting for three hours.
Second, in addition to resurrection, the Revival Spring can heal any injuries you have, including bleeding, internal injuries, severed limbs, etc., as long as you soak in the spring for one minute. Drinking a mouthful of spring water can eliminate negative status effects on your body, including fatigue, hunger, etc. However, if the spring water leaves the pool by more than 10 meters, it will lose its healing effect and become no different from ordinary water.
Third, the school area is an absolutely safe zone. If Wild Dogs try to enter the school, they will be blocked by an invisible force.
Currently, outside the school, only five types of Wild Dogs have been discovered: Wild Dogs, Wild Boars, Wild Wolves, wild cats, and Black Bears. Wild Dogs are the easiest to deal with, but they give low experience and have a low chance of dropping equipment.
Wild Boars have tough hides and are difficult to kill, and they have high attack power; being hit by them might completely incapacitate you.
Wild Wolves are slightly stronger than Wild Dogs, but Wild Wolves rarely appear alone; once they appear, there will be at least ten or more.
wild cats are incredibly fast, and their movements are almost impossible to track with the naked eye, but their attack power is not very high.
Finally, if you encounter a Black Bear, please run away immediately and do not engage in a futile struggle.
Fourth, leveling up provides almost no improvement to physical fitness, but when leveling up, it will heal all injuries and eliminate all negative status effects. The equipment and skills dropped by monsters greatly enhance an individual. Especially for Black Bears, other weapons can hardly cause any damage to them, aside from the equipment and skills dropped by monsters.
Fifth, as soon as you step into the school football field, you will automatically be teleported to a special space called Between Wind and Rain. You will be automatically teleported back when you are soaked to a certain extent by the rain there. No other dangers have been found for now. Each person can only enter 5 times a day. Interested students can explore on their own.
Finally, at the bottom right corner of the blackboard, it was written: All staff of Shun Ning City Fifth High School.
After seeing the information written on the blackboard, Liang Mushui and his group immediately placed the Monk in the Revival Spring to soak. Then, the four of them also jumped into the pool and drank the spring water directly.
Before long, the effects of the spring water became apparent. Liang Mushui and his group's feelings of fatigue and hunger all disappeared at once. The 'internal injury' and 'mental fatigue' statuses on Liang Mushui and Xiao Luo's personal interfaces also vanished. They felt as if they had been fully revived.
After one minute, the Monk also woke up. When he saw Liang Mushui and his group, he said, "Even you guys died."
"No, we killed that Wild Boar," the Professor began to recount what had just happened to the Monk.
At this moment, Liang Mushui stood in front of the blackboard again. He couldn't help but sigh: The teachers of the school are truly amazing! In just one afternoon, they collected so much information and selflessly shared it for everyone to know.
What surprised him most was that some of the teachers had already leveled up. After an afternoon, Liang Mushui deeply understood how difficult leveling up was, but the teachers had still managed to do it. This was enough to show that they had mastered some highly efficient monster-killing method. An idea slowly formed in Liang Mushui's mind.
