011 Hunting the Wild Boar King

It was morning when Wu Wei had returned to the real world.

After replenishing supplies and making other preparations, Wu Wei returned to Runic World at night.

...

Upon returning, Wu Wei immediately checked the situation outside the crevice.

As expected, the Boss, Wild Boar King, was still wandering in the area.

Also, it seemed like no one else had come to Wild Boar Valley today, or they would have hunted it.

This was both good news and bad news for Wu Wei!

The bad news was that he had no choice but to face the Wild Boar King.

The good news was that he had a chance to hunt it!

“Please, Heaven and Earth – give me your protection. I hope Brother Black Robe’s medicinal dregs will work. Whether I can hunt this Wild Boar King depends on whether they work or not!”

After a moment of prayer, Wu Wei began to take action.

He took out a large pot of food that he had mixed with the medicinal dregs in the real world and carefully placed some food outside the crevice.

Throughout the whole process, Wu Wei did not dare to take his eyes off the Wild Boar King – in case it noticed him.

Fortunately, the Wild Boar King was far from his position, and Wu Wei had been careful enough.

Hence, he was not discovered.

After putting down the food, Wu Wei returned to the crevice. Then, he took out a handful of stones and began throwing them at the food.

“Pa!”

A stone hit the side of the food dish, and the Wild Boar King, lying on the ground sleeping, woke up startled.

As it turned around to check the source of the disturbance, a gust of wind blew towards the Wild Boar King, carrying with it the fragrance of the food. Upon smelling it, the Wild Boar King’s eyes instantly lit up, and it got up and started walking in the direction of the smell.

Drooling, it soon discovered the food.

Seeing this, Wu Wei started to become excited.

However, when he thought the Wild Boar King was about to fall for it, it suddenly stopped.

Even though there was so much drool from its mouth, it did not start eating the food. Instead, it looked around to check its surroundings.

From the glean in its eyes, one could tell that it was not just a regular Runic Wild Boar – it clearly possessed intelligence,

Sure enough, its attention fell upon where Wu Wei was hiding.

With a huff and a puff, the Wild Boar King charged over to the crevice and glared inside.

From within the cave, the opening of the crevice was blocked by one monstrous eye.

However, the Wild Boar King wasn’t able to spot anything!

As soon as it had begun charging, Wu Wei, who had realized that the situation was turning bad, had already taken out his Book of Runes to log out.

Wu Wei’s current strength was only at Level 10!

He had yet to inscribe his second Core Rune to reach level 11!

At this moment, he was not even at Tier 1 yet.

Although his strength was weak, he had one advantage: he could freely enter and exit Runic World without restriction.

Hence, Wu Wei was able to escape in an instant. If he had already been Level 11, logging out would take over 10 seconds!

Because he still lacked the strength, Wu Wei chose not to expose his presence to the Wild Boar King yet.

The Wild Boar King’s intelligence was not to be underestimated.

It was at least at the level of a ten-year-old child.

Yet, no matter how smart it was, it would still covet that delicious-smelling food.

Upon finding nothing in the crevice, the Wild Boar King had walked away snorting. Ten minutes later, when Wu Wei returned to Runic World again, what he saw left him dumbstruck.

He saw that the Wild Boar King had brought along an Elite Runic Wild Boar from heaven knows where and was currently forcing the Elite Runic Wild Boar to eat the food.

At this moment, Wu Wei was utterly stunned.

“No way, a Level 10 boss is already so smart? In the future, how strong will the Runic Monsters I face be?!”

For now, Wu Wei was not worried that his plan would be exposed.

He knew that the Elite Monster would be fine.

After the Elite Monster took a chomp of the food under the Wild Boar King’s coercion, the Wild Boar King shoved the Elite Monster aside and observed it.

It observed it for an entire 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the Elite Runic Wild Boar was completely fine and even showed signs of trying to make an escape.

Having confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the food, the Wild Boar King impaled the elite monster on the spot with an earth spike.

After that, the Wild Boar King ran towards the food and began to dig in. It ate happily and quickly finished everything up.

However, as soon as it finished eating, its stomach began to churn.

Soon, an intense pain began to spread throughout the Wild Boar King’s entire body, causing the Wild Boar King to let out a miserable shriek.

No matter how hard it tried, it could not understand how the Elite Monster could still be fine after eating the food but not itself.

It did not know that Wu Wei had not thoroughly mixed the medicinal dregs and the dishes together. Only the bottom layer had been mixed with the medicinal dregs, so the top layer was uncontaminated.

Therefore, while the Elite Monster was fine after eating a bit on top, the Wild Boar King, who ate everything, would not be!

The intense pain sent the Wild Boar King into a frenzy.

It began to charge around and ram into the rocks, even spamming [Earth Spike] continuously, as if trying to do whatever it could to relieve its pain.

However, it was useless.

As it struggled, the poison flowed through its body even faster, and after more than ten minutes, the Wild Boar King had collapsed to the ground gasping for air.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wei’s eyebrows narrowed. He took out the Wild Boar King Crossbow and slowly stretched out of the crevice to aim at the Wild Boar King.

With a tremendous ‘swoosh’, the crossbow bolt pierced through the Wild Boar King’s body.

There was barely any reaction apart from a slight shudder of its body – clearly, it was at death’s door.

Seeing this, Wu Wei summoned Yellow to finish the job!

However, as Yellow approached the Wild Boar King with his sword, an earth spike shot out from the ground. At the same time, the Wild Boar King that had appeared to be on its last breath suddenly got up and charged toward Yellow.

The Wild Boar King’s intelligence and acting skills were indeed praiseworthy.

Nonetheless, it was futile.

Wu Wei had remained cautious, so the moment the Wild Boar King got up, he summoned Yellow back, causing the Wild Boar King to miss.

Having made its last spurt in vain, the Wild Boar King’s final remnants of physical and spiritual energy were utterly depleted.

Still, Wu Wei continued to wait in anticipation for another twenty minutes, upon which he fired the crossbow once more at the Wild Boar King.

This shot finished the Wild Boar King.

With a loud poof, the Wild Boar King died, and 2 transparent drops appeared.

This number of drops was the same as the Wild Boar King hunt with his former team. The only difference was that this time, Wu Wei had taken down the Wild Boar King by himself.

With the Wild Boar King’s death, the Runic Wild Boar kill count jumped to [96/100].

Only four were left, and Wu Wei was delighted to find that the Elite Monster from before was still alive in its last breaths. Wu Wei waved his hand, and Yellow headed over with the Wild Boar Sword.

With a slash, the Elite Monster died, dropping 2 transparent drops.

At the same time, the kill count reached [101/100].
