"Corrupted Wasteland, Energy Stone Mine."
"This is the place."
With the help of the level-3 Corrupted Wasteland map, Su Mu easily bypassed some monster-dense areas.
The path to the Energy Stone Mine was unsafe.
On the map, Su Mu saw several monster groups recommended only for levels above ten.
Without the map, it would be really hard to detour safely here.
Ahead of Su Mu, there were a few red-haired wild boars.
[Crimson Wild Boar]
[Level: 5]
[Feature: Extremely powerful charge.]
[Description: Where there are boars, there is wealth.]
"Level five, huh."
"A bit stronger than the Skeleton Hound."
"Huh? They're fighting?"
"Wait, Crimson Wild Boars aren't undead creatures."
Not far away, a wild boar was holding off three Skeleton Hounds.
The Crimson Wild Boar was flesh and blood, an enemy in the eyes of undead monsters.
Suddenly, the Crimson Wild Boar charged one Skeleton Hound.
From the shadows, Su Mu heard the crisp sound of bones breaking.
That explained why some Skeleton Hounds were injured.
"Just one charge and the Skeleton Hound is almost torn apart?"
Su Mu was surprised by the boar's impact.
Skeleton Hounds had strong bodies; on the forum, some complained that newbie weapons couldn't even hurt them.
But the Crimson Wild Boar's single charge nearly destroyed one.
The three Skeleton Hounds counterattacked the boar.
But neither their bites nor their strikes could break the thick hide of the Crimson Wild Boar.
The so-called newbie killers in this world were only a threat to newcomers.
"Since I'm here anyway."
"I want both the Crimson Wild Boar and the Skeleton Hound."
Su Mu glanced at his current level.
After killing that big Skeleton Hound, his level had increased a bit.
Now he was at [Level 1 (270/1000)].
A quarter of the way to the next level.
Even though the Demonbreaker Crossbow didn't have an advantage over the Crimson Wild Boar, it wasn't too difficult for Su Mu now.
Bolt quietly aimed at the Skeleton Hounds trying to retreat and took each one down with a single arrow.
The Crimson Wild Boar, surprised at the sudden disappearance of its enemies, paused for a moment.
"Where did the enemies go?"
Then it was hit by a golden bolt.
"Ugh!"
The boar let out a painful scream as the bolt pierced its body.
Su Mu aimed the crossbow directly at its head and fired a final headshot to end the boar's life.
After clearing the monsters, it was time to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing no increase in Energy Stone on his status panel, Su Mu knew this monster wouldn't drop Energy Stone either.
Walking over the boar's corpse, a glow appeared before him.
[Crimson Wild Boar Meat]
[Dropped by: Crimson Wild Boar]
[Description: Meat full of crimson and bloody flavor, not only tasty but also enhances physical strength.]
Wild boar meat!
Su Mu was pleasantly surprised.
The newbie pack gave everyone some compressed biscuits, but after finishing those, food sources became a real concern.
Now, killing monsters dropped wild boar meat — great news for Su Mu.
He couldn't live on soup alone.
According to Su Mu's deduction, he should be the first person to kill a Crimson Wild Boar.
They weren't numerous, and Su Mu only found them thanks to the Corrupted Wasteland map.
This map could only be obtained by opening the Special Reward Chest.
Meaning only Su Mu currently had access to it.
Plus, the Demonbreaker Crossbow's power could break the boar's defenses.
While most people still nibbled on compressed biscuits and bones, Su Mu was already enjoying delicious wild boar meat.
Checking his level again,
[Level 1 (350/1000)]
One Crimson Wild Boar was worth five Skeleton Hounds.
Clearly, five dogs alone were no match…
"There's still some Skeleton Hound loot over there."
"Can't waste it."
Su Mu collected the drops from the Skeleton Hounds:
[Purified Bones] x15
The Demonbreaker Crossbow's bonus to drops was very helpful.
Killing undead with it yielded more than five times the normal loot.
After collecting everything, Su Mu arrived at the mine entrance.
The mine entrance was a downward slope guarded by three Crimson Wild Boars.
These boars were easily fending off Skeleton Hound attacks.
"In this world, undead creatures attack other living beings."
"But those three Crimson Wild Boars have taken a lot of my experience points."
Su Mu looked at the many Skeleton Hound drops and his eyes gleamed.
Everything in this mine was his prey.
But these Crimson Wild Boars were stealing his prey.
So he decided to use their bodies to repay that debt.
