Chapter 21: If You Have the Courage, Come Hit Me!
After he arrived at the familiar old place, Su Mu paused to check his current status.
[Personal Level: Level 2 (480/5000)]
The Scarlet Wild Boar Meat had the ability to increase experience points. In this world, eating and drinking well was crucial. He wondered how many experience points he would gain from defeating a mini-boss.
With great anticipation, he slowly approached the entrance of the Energy Stone Mine. The area around the entrance teemed with small monsters and even two scarlet boars.
Ignoring the ordinary skeleton dogs, he decided to eliminate the scarlet boars first. These small monsters were no longer a challenge for him; the only real danger awaited inside the mine—the mini-boss.
[Warning: There is a level 10 dangerous enemy within a 500-meter radius.]
[The corresponding coordinates are marked on the map.]
When Su Mu entered the Energy Stone Mine, the same warning sounded again. However, unlike before, the Scarlet Boar King was now on the first level instead of the second.
“Is it waiting for me here because I shot it with an arrow yesterday?”
He looked at the Scarlet Boar King with a strange expression.
The interior of the mine provided ample space to maneuver, but the entrance was narrow. He had to squat down to get through—something the massive boar could never manage.
“If you had gone to the second level of the mine, I wouldn’t have been able to hit you,” he remarked, amused by the creature’s lack of intelligence.
Originally, he had planned to use the Glass Bracers’ skill, which could generate a powerful shield once a day, to block the boar’s attacks and create an opening to strike.
But with the Scarlet Boar King stuck at the entrance, he saw no need for such measures. The narrow passage prevented the beast from reaching him while conveniently allowing him to attack from a safe distance.
Seeing the opportunity, he aimed at the boar’s legs, ensuring it couldn’t escape.
“Roar!”
The Scarlet Boar King bellowed in pain as it thrashed against the entrance. Blood poured from its head as it rammed the walls in frustration. It soon realized how despicable the human outside was.
The boar attempted to turn and flee. Despite the bolts lodged in all four of its legs, its survival instincts drove it to curl into a ball and roll deeper into the mine.
“Trying to escape?” Su Mu sneered. “Remember to eat less in your next life.”
The Scarlet Boar King was on the brink of death.
Su Mu’s bolts had pierced its body from head to tail, leaving no part untouched. After three more shots, the beast could no longer roll. It collapsed on the ground, defenseless.
He stepped into the cave and fired the final bolt directly at its head. With that, the mini-boss of the Energy Stone Mine was defeated.
“Done,” he said, brushing the dust off his hands. “I wonder what kind of loot this first mini-boss will drop.”
Unbeknownst to him, the moment the Scarlet Boar King fell, a new announcement appeared on the World Forum.
