The Cardboard Explorer 72 Chapter 72

Xing and his group members moved forward fast and they clashed with the boarman on the west part of the base. Xing easily defeated the E grade boarman that got neared him.

One by one, the boarman was cut by Xing's sword. Not only Xing but his group member was doing well too. They cannot defeat the boarman as fast as Xing but it was manageable.

As Xing was plowing through the boarman in front of him, he finally reached a group of D grade boarman. They might give Xing a hard time but Xing knew that he can still defeat them if he fought properly.

All of the D grade boarman wore full body armor with either axe or hammer in their hand. All of them rushed towards Xing and one of the boarman with hammer on his hand pounded on Xing.

Xing looked at the incoming hammer and he easily moved his body slightly to the side and slashed the boarman on its neck. However, to Xing surprise, a hammer appeared out of nowhere and blocked his slashed.

At the same time he was blocked, the hammer that Xing evaded pounded the ground and a small explosion occurred. Xing predicted the explosion and he used the explosion to create a distance between himself and the group of the D grade boarman.

"The explosion is stronger than I thought. Strength buff," thought Xing. However, before he can create the safe distance between himself and the boarman, an axe flew straight at him.

"Tch!" Xing pulled out his sword to block the axe as he cannot evade it. The axe and his sword clashed and Xing was surprised by the strength exerted by the axe but it was not something that he cannot handle.

Xing misdirected the axe direction using his sword and successfully did it. However, another two axes flew towards him but this time, Xing had enough time to evade the axe.

Xing successfully evaded the two axes but then, four punches suddenly came from four direction towards Xing. He was shocked by the incoming punches as four boarman had surrounded him.

Xing clenched his teeth and put most of his strength on his leg and launched upwards to dodge the surprise attack by the four boarman. The four boarman missed their target and ended up punching each other.

However, they did not suffer much damage thanks to their full body armor. Xing found his chance and activated his slithered stab skill to stab one of the four boarman.

"Die!" thought Xing when he suddenly heard an explorer shouting 'left' at him. He looked on his left and his eyes wide opened when he saw a huge fist going straight to his face.

However, due to his battle experience, he immediately gained his composure and the slithered stab that was directed to the boarman below him were instantly directed towards the huge fist. He used a lot of his energy to do that.

The huge fist and slithered stab hit each other and another small explosion occurred. However, Xing was sent flying backwards immediately and he fell on the ground and rolling for few times before he immediately used the rolling to get back up.

Coming out of the explosion was a boarman that looked slightly different compared to the usual boarman Xing had fought before. That boarman did not wear any armor and it only wore normal plain clothes.

Other than its clothes, the boarman's arm were really huge. Twice the size of the regular boarman Xing usually fought. "A variant!" thought Xing. Xing used the appraisal and disappointingly, other than the species of the boarman, there was no other information.

Name: Big Arm Boarman Race.

"You are quite good but you will still die in my hands," said the big arm boarman as he walked forward with his menacingly muscular huge arm.

"Thank you for the compliment but in your dream!" said Xing and he put most of his strength on his legs and launched forward towards the big arm boarman.

Looking at the big arm boarman, he knew instantly that it was the biggest threat in this boarman's base. In other words, he needed to eliminate it fast.

Looking at the arm size of the boarman, Xing predicted that the boarman will have difficulty in moving and that meant, "He is slow," thought Xing.

That thought did not come only because he saw the huge arm but also at the strategy the boarman used earlier. He was surprised that the boarman thought of fighting strategically like that but he realized that the strategy stopped after he was punched by the big arm boarman.

That meant, Xing was cornered like that just so that the big arm boarman can land his attack on him. The big arm boarman cannot do it by himself because he was slow. He needed the help of other boarman to land a hit on a fast enemy like Xing.

As Xing launched himself, he reached the big arm boarman instantly and Xing saw the surprised look on the big arm boarman's face. Xing slashed the boarman and unfortunately, he was again blocked by the same hammer that blocked his attack earlier.

"d.a.m.n it! You again?!" Xing got frustrated when he was again blocked by the same boarman twice and he immediately retreated away from the big arm boarman.

Xing looked at that boarman and he squinted his eyes, "He looked quite ordinary but he might be the most troublesome boarman more that the big arm boarman. Weirdly, I cannot feel anything from him," thought Xing while looking at the boarman that blocked his attack twice.

As he thought of that, Xing used his appraisal and to his surprise, that boarman was C grade. Xing immediately knew the real threat in front of him.

"Haa~ Focus," thought Xing. Suddenly, an arrow flew and hit the ground beside him. Xing saw there was a letter attached to the arrow and he carefully grabbed it.

"We will support you," the letter said. Xing understand that they knew his situation. Xing was fighting alone there because the other members of his group was busy fighting the other boarman. They cannot spare any of their energy to help him at the moment.

"Okay then, let's go at it again," thought Xing. Xing again launched himself forward but this time, before he can get to the big arm boarman, he met a flying axe antic.i.p.ating the same move from him.

With slithered stab, Xing easily misdirected the axe and then another two axes coming at him. "The same strategy?" thought Xing and he decided to follow just like before but since he cannot evade the axes as he was launching himself forward fast, he used the slithered stab again to misdirect the two axes.

Xing skillfully used the skill and misdirected the two axes and then a punch appeared in front of him and it was the punch from the big arm boarman.

"So, they decided to not corner me from four direction?" thought Xing. As Xing had once felt what the punch like, he decided to not block it like last time.

Instead of blocking, Xing used another one of his skill, barrage slash and slashed the fist that was in front of him. The punch however still moved forward.

Instantly saw that the barrage of sword slash did not stop the fist, Xing squinted his already small eyes and focused the slash on one point of the fist.

As the concentrated slash focused on one point, Xing's sword met the big arm boarman's fist. However, instead of the same explosion as before, Xing's sword easily slashed the fist like it was tofu.

With the momentum of the slash, Xing moved forward and cut that huge arm to two. "ARGHHHH!!!!!" the big arm boarman screamed in pain and blood was coming out of his arm like a river of water.

"You d.a.m.n monkey!!!" said the big arm boarman but then a sword was coming right at his face and cut his face to two. The big arm boarman was killed.

"…that is easy. What happen to that C grade boarman?" thought Xing as he looked around and saw that boarman with the other four boarman that was supposed to corner him was busy dealing with the arrow attack from his group member.

"Hah~ so that was why their strategy was cut short," thought Xing as he smiled looking at the busy boarman. Xing looked at the corpse of the big arm boarman and he smiled again.

"You should have just use as many skills as you can or maybe it is better if you punch the ground to create small explosion and maybe, you should consider choosing your opponent better," said Xing.

"You fought barehanded without any armor and you are slow and then you choose to fight an opponent with a weapon. You did not even utilize your greatest advantage, strength," said Xing again.

"I thought you will be smarter. I guess all of you boarman are just plainly stupid," said Xing and he moved forward to continue fighting the boarman that was distracted by the archers.
