My Runes Can Be Upgraded Chapter 6

6 006 Elite Monster

Wu Wei and Yellow took about an hour to dig out a pit two ters wide and three ters deep.

They then spent a lot of effort placing stones around the edge of the trap.

After toiling for about two hours, Wu Wei was finally ready to resu the hunt.

This ti, having learned his lesson, Wu Wei chose not to let Yellow shout anymore in case he provoked too many Runic Wild Boars.

Instead, Wu Wei first carefully scanned the surroundings to spot lone, isolated boars.

Once he discovered an ideal target, Wu Wei did not carelessly provoke them. Instead, he would first get their attention by making small noises. Only when they ca closer would he start throwing stones to enrage them.

Through this thod, Wu Wei finally got on the right track.

In the next 5 to 6 hours, Wu Wei and Yellow lured over 8 Runic Wild Boars.

Although they couldn't kill all of them, they did manage to kill 6, so it was still a high success rate.

Furthermore, the sacrifice of these 6 Runic Wild Boars helped Yellow to level back up to Level 7!

Leveling twice in a single day was sothing that Wu Wei had never experienced when he was with Zhou Hong and the others.

This unreal leveling pace made Wu Wei feel like he was dreaming.

The only bad thing was that the drop rate of these Runic Wild Boars was extrely low. Including these 6, Wu Wei had in total killed 7 already - yet not even a single item had dropped.

"The sky is already dark, and the Runic Wild Boars have started to roost. I've also been out at it for an entire day, so it's ti to rest soon. I'll hunt just one last one! After I hunt one more, I'll call it a day!"

Wu Wei re-erged from the crevice and - together with Yellow - scanned the surroundings.

He found his next target very quickly.

It was a lone Runic Wild Boar just a short distance away.

"The size of this boar?!"

Wu Wei suddenly realized that there was sothing off about its size.

It was much bigger than an ordinary Runic Wild Boar, only a little bit smaller than the Wild Boar King that Wu Wei had previously hunted with Zhou Hong!

"It's bigger than a normal monster but smaller than a boss. Could this Runic Wild Boar be an Elite Monster?"

Wu Wei squinted as his thoughts raced.

His useless 'cheat' had a certain probability of being able to see a target's attribute window when Wu Wei squinted at it.

Wu Wei did not know what the principle behind this ability was, but what mattered was that it was effective.

After squinting for a while, the attribute window of the Runic Wild Boar popped up.

"There are its attributes! It's really an Elite Monster!"

As he read its attributes, Wu Wei's eyebrows twitched.

At this mont, Wu Wei was posed a question: It was an Elite Monster, so what now?

"An Elite Monster... It will be much harder to kill than an ordinary Runic Wild Boar… What to do…."

After thinking about it long and hard, Wu Wei gritted his teeth.

"I'll kill it! If I kill it, it might even drop [Uncommon] loot! And even If I fail, I have nothing to lose except food!"

Having made up his mind, Wu Wei carefully began to step back.

After retreating to safety, he took out the black-robed stall owner's dicinal dregs and the remaining 3 portions of food. After mixing the dicine dregs into the food, Wu Wei placed two portions at the bottom of the pit he had dug.

After making preparations, Wu Wei hid at the edge of the crevice and instructed Yellow to begin slowly luring the Elite Runic Wild Boar.

As Wu Wei had already carried out the sa plan over 10 tis, he was moving with proficiency.

Without much of a hitch, the Elite Monster was slowly lured towards the trap, and there were just a few ters left.

However, at this mont, sothing unexpected happened. A wandering Runic Wild Boar suddenly approached, and it noticed Yellow!

"Not good!"

Wu Wei's expression darkened!

He had a feeling that things were about to go south!

As expected, when the Runic Wild Boar that appeared saw Yellow, its eyes instantly turned red, and it suddenly began to charge at him.

"Stone it! After stoning it, run towards the trap!"

Faced with such a sudden turn of events, Wu Wei's expression had changed drastically, but he was still able to make a quick decision.

Under Wu Wei's orders, Yellow threw the stone in its hand toward the Elite Monster. Then, without caring if it connected, he turned around and made a mad dash for the trap.

As Yellow's accuracy was average, it had not managed to land a direct hit on the Elite Monster. However, he did hit its side - and that was sufficient.

Runic Wild Boars were notoriously hot-headed - they would charge at people for just glancing at them - let alone attack them!

The Elite Monster's eyes turned red as hot steam flared out from its snout.

Suddenly, it activated its skill, [Wild Boar Charge], and began charging towards Yellow at a terrifying speed!

Although Yellow had a head start, the Elite Runic Wild Boar could close the distance in the blink of an eye!

At this critical mont, the paths of the normal Runic Wild Boar and the Elite Runic Wild Boar crossed!

The Elite Runic Wild Boar simply ramd into normal Runic Wild Boar, tossing it towards Yellow.

Yellow was sent flying for a few ters!

Wu Wei's expression worsened. He could not afford to let Yellow die again.

"Return!"

Wu Wei activated the Book of Runes to un-summon Yellow, upon which Yellow imdiately dissipated into light and returned to the book.

However, this move of Wu Wei's exposed him, and the Elite Runic Wild Boar set its sights on him.

Wu Wei raised the Wild Boar Crossbow in response, but after a mont of hesitation, he chose not to shoot.

There was no choice - the Elite Runic Wild Boar was simply too fast. While Wu Wei had practiced using the crossbow, he was not confident enough to bet on scoring a clean hit in this situation. If he missed, he would lose his trump card.

Wu Wei put the crossbow away and hastily dived for the crevice.

"Bang!"

The Elite Runic Wild Boar crashed into the rocks.

Thankfully, Wu Wei had made it within ti.

The impact of the collision might have been extrely powerful, but it did not damage Wu Wei. After all, these gigantic rocks easily weighed over 6,000 kilograms, so they were practically immovable.

However, Wu Wei was soon disappointed - because the Elite Runic Wild Boar appeared perfectly fine itself!

It had obviously managed to hold back at the last mont, unlike the dumb Wild Boar earlier.

However, although things hadn't gone according to plan, Wu Wei quickly decided on his next move and threw the last portion of drugged food right in the Elite Runic Wild Boar's face.

The Elite Runic Wild Boar was stunned at first. Still, its greed took over when it slled and tasted the food. It began to devour the food without hesitation, finishing every single last scrap instantly.

After finishing the food, it even tried peering into the crevice to check if there was any more.

However, when it peered in, Wu Wei, who had been waiting patiently the entire ti, pulled the

trigger.

A crossbow bolt shot out, piercing through the eye of the Elite Monster…
