Fortunately, Jem happened to see a stone boulder nearby. He crouched and hid on it. Then, he peeks ahead.
He could not charge in right away as he had no decent weapon to fight it. With him was just the DIY claw knife. He believed that on certain occasions it might not be useful enough, but still better than nothing.
Jem was gradually learning on this survival journey. He must be mindful of what he could and couldn't do. Always stay focused and stay cool-headed. Also, he needed to practice alertness. He believed that one wrong move was a straight path to the afterlife. So, he had to be careful.
The stone boulder was huge enough to cover his whole body. He was thankful for it, regardless. Thanks to it, it blocks the shining erald crystal in his possession. Especially that he could not get rid of it as he needed it as a source of light.
The stepping noises and the growling sounds were coming closer and closer.
It didn't take long when the beast finally revealed its figure.
The trader's voice rang at the back of his mind, giving him input about the beast.
Seeing that it was bigger than the previous swine, Jem agreed with the trader's words.
This brown swine wasn't only huger; it also looked more ferocious. It had more furs on its body and even on its face. The furs are darker in color than the little swine. It also had two protruding tusks from its mouth that were pointing above. Its eyes looked fiercer, and the claws on its limbs were longer and looked sharper.
Before Jem Hansen could think of a plan, he heard a warning from the trader.
Boom!
The sudden impact shattered the boulder, sending Jem sprawling on the mud.
He could not believe it. He just blinked once and the enemy had already broken the boulder where he was hiding?!
Unbelievable!
Jem groaned in pain and coughed up as he tried to get up. Blood and mud dripped from his head down to his face.
The trader's warning ca so late.
Jem peered ahead and saw the boulder turned to smithereens. A chill creeped out from the bottom of his heart as his eyes widened in bewildernt.
Regardless, there was no ti to daze. He saw the Adult Brown Swine's claws gleaming in bright color.
"What kind of ability is that?" He asked in a mutter.
