Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 60: Trap in the forest

"Two boars at the mid-grade first stage, one of earth and the other of fire element.

Do you think we can kill them?"

Fengyu sat in a makeshift tent with Ming, Ling, Zimu and Wind Claw.

"Quack, quack. Quack?"

"Wind Claw said that he has no issues fighting the fire boar, but the earth boar’s defense is too strong for him to pierce, so another will have to fight him. He’s asking about your guys’ thoughts."

"I can also fight the fire boar with my water chain spell, but it’s difficult to hold the other boar down. I... I have a way to chain the fire boar down fully, so if we can kill him quickly, we might be able to focus on the other one." Ling said, revealing something she hadn’t used over the past month.

"For me, defending against the fire boar is easy, but the earth boar will either directly destroy my wall or be able to protect the fire boar when it’s in danger," Ming said, having already revealed most of his hands, he thought the others would know his abilities enough to judge without needing to add more.

"Hmm... boars have thick hides, so attacking them will be difficult either way. The earth boar might be able to fully protect against my spells...

How about this, what if we kill one boar and run away straight after?"

"Is that proper?" Ling asked in surprise.

"Why would it be improper? We’re production masters, there is no need for us to focus on profiting from fighting. As long as we gain experience killing them, then we will have enough.

Boars aren’t very fast, they can charge a bit but that’s all. The earth boar will definitely be slower.

My suggestion is that we will act like that..."

...

The four discussed it while Zimu was already at a further spot, waiting for their safety.

Just when he thought everything was fine, Zimu suddenly felt an extremely unpeaceful aura approach.

"Quack, this, why did it come here? It wasn’t supposed to come here, beasts! Ah, these wild beasts follow instincts and I can’t fully estimate their moves," Zimu was shocked and stood up.

But when he looked forward, he knew there was no way he could go back and forth without entering the battlefield...

"No, I have to go! I have to warn them to leave quickly, else the fight might take too long, long enough for that enemy to approach and kill us!"

He stood up and rushed forward with his little feet, trying to get there in time.

...

Fengyu, Ming and Ling waited in a small forest patch, the trees here especially dense.

Between them, there was a small opening, barely enough for a single beast to pass through. Around, the trees were denser, making it difficult to pass through.

Here, several smaller animals such as squirrels could be found, but all of them had disappeared after seeing so many people approach.

Just as the three were preparing spells, they heard loud quacking.

Fengyu instantly finished casting his spell – "Spring Rain Cloud Spell, Rain!"

A cloud gathered above them, rainwater falling full of vitality.

Ling looked over and was shocked at the sight of a different rain spell than she had expected.

But trained these past few weeks, she focused back on her spell and finished casting it too, "Water Lily Trap Spell, Form!"

Instantly, the water on the ground took on the shape of a water lily.

Unexpectedly, it actually became fainter and fainter on the ground, barely visible.

Instead, it looked like a small puddle.

"Quack!" Wind Claw quacked again, this time, he was extremely close.

The three all prepared their spells again and saw Wind Claw quickly walk through the forest, through the tight openings, until he went around the opening they waited at.

He then walked right in front, seemingly leaving his back open.

Behind him, a wild boar with fiery fur, spewing hot air, quickly followed.

The boar was confused for a moment because of the many trees, so when he finally saw the opening, he hurriedly rushed forward, his legs stomping heavily on the ground.

Right behind him was another boar, larger but also slower, having some issues following them.

Stomp

Stomp

The stomping the boars caused the earth to tremble.

Just as the boar was about to pass through the opening –

SPLASH

Suddenly, the puddle on the ground seemingly transformed into a deep lake, pulling the boar down!

Only the edges of this ’lake’ showed that it was actually a water lily using water pressure to pull him down!

But before the boar could react, spells fell on him one after another –

"Stone Boulder Summoning Spell, Fall!" Ming shouted, his hoe raised in the air, pulling it right down.

"Water Chain Spell, Chain!" Ling shouted too, a chain rapidly forming on the boar’s back, connecting with the water lily below, putting even heavier pressure on him!

"Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!" Fengyu cast the spell, a silver feather rapidly shooting through the flute onto the boar.

"Fwuuuuu-"

"GRUGHHH! GRUGHHH!" the boar grunted loudly, shocked at the barrage of spells coming around.

When he saw the feather, he instantly lowered his head, allowing his body to fall into the water!

Swish

The feather flew and cut through the boar’s back, leaving a large gash, yet barely any blood flew out of it.

"Urghhhh!" the boar grunted in pain, then tried to stomp again, forcing his body to stand straight.

When he did so, a fiery aura appeared around his hooves, stomping fiercely onto the water –

In just a few moments, the water lily was already freed –

Just then, Fengyu completed his spells – "Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!"

"Fwuuuu-"

This time, he didn’t aim at the eyes –

The feather rapidly flew into the boar’s snout!

There was no way for the boar to defend –

"GRUGHH!! GRUGHHHHHH!!!!!"

The boar grunted, a bloody mist appearing in his eyes as it became wild and seemingly barbaric, losing its sanity –

But in the time it took Fengyu to cast these two spells, Ming had already summoned a second boulder!

The two boulders, one after another, fell onto the boar’s whole body!

CRACK

THUD

Heavy sounds followed one after another, one boulder hitting the boar and causing his body to fall to lose its footing, the other smashing him right to the ground!

THUMMM

The second boulder caused a great shockwave on the earth.

Behind the fire boar, the earth boar suddenly grunted heavily – "GRUGHHHHH! GRUGHHHH!!!"
