That blast of spiritual force fired off by Little Miss Buu made Jing Ru barely able to maintain her composure. In the meantime, Ren Wei also felt a small part of the same sensation coming from the poison vent trees. “This is very bad, to have a sensation from a blast of spiritual force so far away means its really strong.” Ren Wei then realised that the Boar Knights he was fighting were suitable for Jing Ru to handle but the monster with such substantial spiritual force should have been meant for him instead.
Hence, Ren Wei immediately revealed himself and decided to move towards the Poison Venting Trees. “Do not worry about here, follow Dagger, he will guide you. I will keep the boar knights busy.” The sword goblin swung his sword around to flaunt his sword skills to provoke the boar knights while the dagger goblin guided Ren Wei. At the same time, the dagger goblin decided to speed up when he saw that Ren Wei managed to keep up with ease.
“Come fatties, Let’s have a rematch.” The sword goblin purposely spat on one of the dead boar knights and beckoned Hamlet to come for it.
“You will regret it now that you are alone.” Hamlet’s anger soared once again and its confidence grew when he saw that he could finally take revenge on the goblin without fearing the sniping human archer.

“Buu Buuu Buuuu!!” Little Miss Buu snorted as it waved its short chubby arms around. The female prized boar was being carried by four unyielding boar knights on top of a palanquin throne filled with cushions and pillows. There was even an umbrella on the palanquin throne and she was using telekinesis magic to grab food from the table of the large palanquin throne and place it into her mouth.
The Regal Boar pointed at the Spear Goblin and Mr Oink and gestured for them to give up before she would be forced to do anything nasty to them. Thankfully, Jing Ru was near a poison venting tree when the blast of spirit force had been fired so she had not been discovered. She decided to hide behind momentarily so that she could recover her breath from the spiritual force strain. However, Jing Ru could also see that her charm was waning by being so close to a poison venting tree.
“Oink! Oink! Oink!” Mr Oink issued a challenge against Little Miss Buu but she just laughed, which came out as a snort. With a wave of her short hoofs, a magical circle appeared right above her and a mud rock that was enhanced with magic was shot out of the magical circle. The mud rock attack completely missed as Spear Goblin pulled a tassel of Mr Oink’s hair to control his movement around the poison venting trees as they ran further away from the Little Miss Buu.
When Jing Ru took a closer look of Little Miss Buu, she discovered that this ‘Little’ Miss Buu was not little at all. The amount of fat on its body would have been a lifetime supply of mountain boar meat for tens if not hundreds of people. The fat on her belly looked really enticing even for Jing Ru as she realised she had yet to eat her lunch before coming to Jin’s store.
Upon reviewing the whole situation, Jing Ru knew that Mr Oink was running away so that Little Miss Buu would pursue him. This way, they would be able to take advantage of the traps Jing Ru had placed. However, seeing how powerful the regal boar was, Jing Ru thought that she could only weaken it enough before her Dad could show up and take care of it.
Also, monsters with magical abilities would most likely have a magical barrier or shield that reduced the amount of damage done to it. If Jing Ru wanted to act, she would have to act swiftly and decisively for her only advantage at the moment was the element of surprise. That was when Jing Ru remembered the weaponry that she had taken from her father’s collection.
A rocket propelled grenade.
To her luck, the poison that was venting out of the trees was actually chlorine gas. She did not exactly want to know about but she was forced to when the charm’s powers of protection were all used up and Jing Ru had to take a whiff of it. Fortunately, like every prepared huntsman, she brought out her gas mask and wore it for protection.
A shot of an RPG and chlorine gas? That’s quite the cocktail for disaster but Jing Ru figured the gas was probably not concentrated enough to make an impact against the magical barrier shield. Still, she decided to give it a try.
Little Miss Buu was relentless in her attacks too. Somehow, she too had learned that the gas would be dangerous if she used fire related attacks in this area so she had stuck to earth magic to shoot at Mr Oink and the Spear Goblin instead. However, they were agilely traversing the forested areas, unlike the knights who had to ensure that there was sufficient space for their Regal Boar to travel comfortably. Of course, Little Miss Buu made the effort to remove the trees if necessary when they blocked the knights’ pathway.
Meanwhile, Jing Ru still stuck to the bushes to avoid being seen by the chasing palanquin until Mr Oink cleverly brought Little Miss Buu closer to a special area that Jing Ru had painstakingly prepared.
“Buuu! Buuu!” The Regal Boar was tired of chasing and started summoning tens of magical rocks, ready to throw them all at once at Mr Oink. That was when Mr Oink began to go on the offensive with a tug of his tassel of hair by the spear goblin.
“BAM!” The headstrong Mr Oink collided loudly against the magical shield of Little Miss Buu but it did not let up and continuously charged against the shield. Left with no choice, Little Miss Buu had to redirect some of her magical powers to maintain the shield. During that time, the spear goblin stood up on the Mr Oink’s back and initiated a basic spear art he had learnt from the cultivators over time, Deep Thrust. With all his might, the spear goblin focused all its strength and energy onto the spear and pierced at the shield, causing it to drastically reduce in strength.
At that point, Little Miss Buu gave up on conserving strength and decided to unleash five mystical rock shots at her aggressors. The damage was severe as the rocks smashed into the spear goblin’s head and even destroyed one of Mr Oink’s tusks. But Mr Oink and the spear goblin still remained strong as they striking at the shield, seemingly unfazed by the damage. The spear goblin decided to pour all his strength into his attacks while Mr Oink charged even more furiously. Eventually, their efforts paid off as Jing Ru saw a minute crack beginning to form on the front of the shield barrier through the scope of her personal rifle Winterwolf.
“BANG!”
A charged chi shot was fired without any warning and the energised rotating air bullet spiralled its way towards the crack, causing the shield barrier to shatter into thousands of pieces before dissipating into the air.
“Disperse now!” Jing Ru shouted towards the Goblin and Boar duo as she dropped her rifle and jumped out from the tree she was hiding behind. She then leapt towards the palanquin throne with two Uzis, a handgun style machine gun capable of bursts of bullets, firing at the front two Boar Knights that were holding onto the palanquin. The boars soaked up the bullets like a sponge but also like a sponge, all excess that it couldn’t take oozed out as blood leaked out from their bodies.
This caused the palanquin throne to become unstable and caused Little Miss Buu to fall to the ground involuntarily. Her clean, untainted body touched the forest’s mud and the broken shield caused her to breathe in the chlorine gas. At this crucial moment, Jing Ru threw a gunny sack full of items at Little Miss Buu.
The Regal Boar somehow caught the sack and noticed a variety of metal items in that bag. Some were small and looked like a pine cone while others were round shaped. Regardless, that period of distraction granted Jing Ru the chance to take out her ultimate weapon, the rocket launcher, from her storage ring.
Without much aiming since she was practically firing at point blank range, Jing Ru braced herself for death because she knew that she would not survive the explosion at such close proximity.
“Click”
The RPG roared vociferously as it flew out of the launcher and towards Little Miss Buu. Before she could react, she was engulfed by a blinding white light. A light so bright that it probably brought her to pork heaven. The destruction of the area was stupendous as the explosion was monumental when it interacted with the chlorine gas in the area. Obviously, Mr Oink and the spear goblin knew that Jing Ru would do something big so they had already started running away from the area but they did not expect the radius of the explosion to be this vast.
Even Ren Wei had to stabilise himself from the aftershock as he was running towards their battlefield. “Holy… Jing Ru, you are one heck of a daughter.” Ren Wei stopped in his tracks to voice a little prayer as a sign of acknowledgement for her efforts since he was unable to contact her via voice transmission.
“Looks like Daddy will have to clear the dungeon or else this your death, despite it being temporary, will have been in vain.” Ren Wei talked to himself as he looked at the dagger goblin and returned to the Venus Animal-traps.
