When Yang Tian arrived at the scene, the Silver Boar had stuck its tusks into the black bear's belly. Roaring with rage, the bear sent the boar flying with one swing of its palm.
However, the swing did not cause much harm to the Silver Boar. It flipped back and stood up, and charged at the black bear once again.
A few minutes later, the black bear died under the tusks of the Silver Boar.
Wild boars were mainly herbivorous. However, they did eat little animals as a supplement to their nutrition. They were hence considered omnivores. After killing the black bear, the Silver Boar started devouring its corpse.
Yang Tian looked at his pair of claws and went up.
The munching Silver Boar noticed Yang Tian and stared at him cautiously. Seeing that Yang Tian was gradually closing in, it became furious. It scraped the ground with its front hooves, and then charged at him.
The Silver Boar had great defenses, its fur was hard as steel threads, and its skin was so thick that normal bullets could not penetrate it. Other than its defense mechanism, its offensive abilities were not weak either. The pair of long tusks were its strongest weapons; they could easily run through a big tree.
Facing the oncoming boar, Yang Tian ran toward it.
Slash!
When they were about to clash, Yang Tian flipped mid-air and extended his claw. The claw scratched the Silver Boar's back open and broke its backbone.
When Yang Tian landed on the ground with a flip, the boar stopped and laid on its chest.
It was still alive, but it could not move because of the broken backbone. Yang Tian went up and punched the boar on its head, shattering its skull. He opened up its head with one claw.
Unfortunately, there was no Beast Core in the head of the Grade One Silver Boar.
Admiring his pair of claws that were his hands, Yang Tian smiled in satisfaction.
'From here on, I'll use my claws for killing Monsters, and my weapon for fighting Warriors…' thought Yang Tian.
He did not wish people to see his transformation for it would definitely cause paranoia, making him an alien among regular humans.
It was not a big deal that he was wanted. There was always a way to solve the problem as long as he did not become the entire human race;s enemy. However, if he was to be categorized as an 'alien', then he would probably become the enemy of Warriors from around the world.
He retracted the Dragon Pearl energy from his arms. His hands started to transform again—the hook-like nails fell off, his hands and arms shed a thick layer of skin, showing blood-red skin, almost that of a newborn baby.
The soft skin did not persist for long and turned back to normal skin color very soon—even the callous on his hands appeared again.
Yang Tian could not figure it out. A transformation like this… Could it be that the Dragon Pearl energy could restructure the cells in the human body?
"Squeak squeak!" Seeing Yang Tian's hands turning back to normal, Drago, who was sitting on Yang Tian's shoulder, let out a happy cry. He told Yang Tian that he was hungry and wanted to have some grilled boar meat.
Yang Tian looked up to the sky and nodded.
…
The days went by easier for Yang Tian after he obtained Feng Da's backpack. At least he had clothes he could change into. Feng Da's built was not too different from Yang Tian's, so they fitted him well.
After nightfall, Drago climbed to the top of the tallest tree nearby to take watch while Yang Tian made a bonfire and started to make grilled boar meat.
With the little dragon taking watch, Yang Tian could take a nice slumber without worrying.
What he did not see was the gigantic Red Eagle flying high in the sky in circles, carrying Butler Wu on its back.
Butler Wu looked downward and saw many bonfires scattered around the forest—they were all made by various Warriors. He could not tell which one was Yang Tian's because there were too many.
"Screw it! Let's go home!" After a few moments, Butler Wu said helplessly.
The next morning, Yang Tian opened his eyes after a satisfying sleep.
He got up and turned on his Warriormate and connected to the net.
That was the first time he turned on the Long Distance Communication (LDC) function since he regained his Warriormate.
The gadget received many text messages, mostly sent to him by Qin Fei. Yang Tian browsed through them very quickly and sent her a single text asking her not to worry as he was being safe.
After that, he sent another text to his parents with the same message.
As Yang Tian was using his Warriormate, his position had immediately been tracked down. Almost at the same time, scores of Warriors swarmed in his direction.
Two Billion Wu! That was a huge amount of money for Class Six Warriors.
Yang Tian knew that he would be tracked as soon as he turned on LDC, so he turned it off after using it for less than five minutes.
He did not feel 100% secure, even though he turned it off. The best way to deal with it was to throw away the Warriormate like before. However, Yang Tian needed it. He could later use it to lure or misdirect his enemies. After turning off LDC, he turned off the Warriormate as well.
Having taken care of things, he looked around and picked up his backpack and weapon, then he asked Drago over and went further into the Danger Zone.
The next morning.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
Drago cried anxiously while they were moving.
Yang Tian frowned as Drago told him they had company.
Any humans that showed up were his pursuers, out to take his life. Yang Tian realized that he gave up his location when he turned on Warriormate for a brief moment.
Being constantly on the run was not an option!
Yang Tian sneered and went toward the oncoming people.
A little more than ten minutes later, he encountered three people.
Among them, two were middle-aged men, and the third one was a young man between 25 and 26 years old.
When they saw Yang Tian, they were stunned. They turned on their Warriormate displays to compare him with the picture that they had.
"It's Yang Tian!" The young man cried excitedly.
"Ha! Aren't we lucky now? Two billion!" One of the middle-aged men nodded with laughter.
They were about 30 odd meters away from Yang Tian. Right after they identified him, they looked at each other, then scattered and surrounded him in three directions.
Yang Tian did not move a muscle after seeing the three men.
As for Drago, he already hopped onto a big tree earlier on, opening his eyes widely to curiously observe what was about to unfold.
The three men surrounded Yang Tian in a triangle; their eyes shining with excitement.
"Two billion Wu is a lot. But think about it, what if I killed you guys instead? It's no easy money, you know," Yang Tian said calmly, scanning each of their faces.
The three did not say anything in return. Suddenly, they each took out an Electric Grenade and pitched them at Yang Tian.
All three of them were Class Four Warriors; they could not win against Yang Tian if they fought one-to-one. They came up with a strategy to defeat him, which was to use Electric Grenades for the assault.
The Electric Grenade was a powerful weapon. Even though it could not kill a Class Five Warrior directly, it could cause temporary numbness. As long as they could seize the moment, they would be able to attack.
That was, of course, an ideal situation. However, things did not usually play out the way they were planned!
