Just when I was about to jump the boar, something saw a chance to sneak attack me from the back with killing intent trying to bite my neck, so I was taken off-guard without a chance to evade, so I immediately used [Hair Manipulation] to make my hair like needles and protect myself like a hedgehog.
I wanted the attacker to call off the attack, but instead, I'm now in its mouth, and now it's trying to swallow me whole, but it's in for a hell a lot of pain if it wants to do that.
*SSSSSS* it said before throwing me to the side into a tree, and now I can see what decided to join my party.
A giant green snake about 10 meters long, that seems to be angry right now that it couldn't finish me off, and eat me for dinner.
'Fuck, I wanted to avoid stealth-types Danger Beasts, and now what do we have here, a stealth-type.' i thought, cursing my luck.
"Well at least you aren't a plant-type too, so let's fight little worm," I told it, to try and see if it understands me, but I didn't get any reaction from the snake.
When it calmed down from the pain trying to eat me, I deactivated [Hair Manipulation] to make an opening for the snake to attack again, and this time I'm ready too with my sword. By the way, the boar ran with its tail between its legs as soon as the snake had attacked me.
It immediately attacked me head-on, going for my neck again with its fangs, but right before it succeeds I stepped aside and slashed downwards to cut it's head off, but alas it was wishfull thinking from me.
*CLING*
'Damn how can they give us such shitty weapons, that can't even be used to cut vegetables for dinner,' I complained.
As soon as I failed to cut through its green scales, the snake hit me hard with its tail. I jumped and blocked it with the sword, to get some distance and minimize the damage it will deal, but I actually overestimated the quality of the sword, it's even more trash than I initially thought.
*CLING* *BREAK*
The sword broke from the middle, and because of the tension between my wrist and the sword, my wrist ended up being snaped, while the tail proceeds to my chest, though with lower speed than before and hit me in the chest sending me flying again.
*BANG*
"UGGGGGHHHH" is the only sound coming out of my mouth, because the attack to the chest took out all the air in my chest, while blood is coming up from my throat before I spit it out.
*SPIT*

[Congratulations you just got yourself trashed by a little snake and unlocked the skill, gigigi.]
My subconscious told me, but it just got me furious, and I had some really crazy thoughts, but I managed to calm down, and don't make any hasty decisions.
'My wrist is broken, so let's try the skill' i thought rolling away from another bite from the snake.
[Dead Bone Pulse]
It took 3 minutes of evading before my wrist was as good as new, and ready to fight again, but while evading I came up with a new plan.
I took up both parts of the broken sword in each hand, and waited for another attack from its head, then stepped aside like before, and stabbed the sword right through its eye, then jumped on its head riding it while it squeals in pain, continually stapping the other eye with the other part of the sword until it reached the brain killing it.
*THUD* and it fell to the ground, dead.
"Huff huff, it finally died, I really need to get stronger and get some killing techniques." I thought out loud while breathing hard on the ground.
While taking a breather, I began thinking about what I should do now that I don't have a weapon anymore.
After some minutes, I got up and tried skinning the snake from inside its jaw with a part of the broken sword, and it was indeed feasible. My plan is to use its green hide as a cover to stealthy walk in the forest, and a long bone to use as a spear if shit goes down.
Some quick 15 minutes later and looking like some Native American, I'm ready to proceed and complete this trial.
