Wa Yu Tang Xia
Chapter 4 Braised Wild Boar Back
Putting the gun away, Lin En walked into the woods, circling around for the better part of an hour, but he didn't find any fruits or anything.
Seeing that there weren't any supplies, Lin En prepared to enter the next dungeon.
Looking at the Stone Walls' chat, Lin En read through it and headed towards the South Stone Wall. He'd discovered from their chatter that there was a treasure chest behind the South Stone Wall, but a fierce beast was guarding it.
Soon, Lin En arrived at the base of the South Stone Wall, took out his pickaxe, and started digging.
Ding... Ding... Ding...
..........
[System: Stone x10]
Looking at the collapsed stone wall, Lin En took a deep breath, took out his shotgun, and walked inside.
What's that smell? It's so fragrant!.
As soon as he entered, Lin En smelled an enticing aroma.
He looked around, but the fierce beast wasn't in sight. Not seeing it, Lin En slowly approached the direction of the fragrance.
..........
Hiding behind a rock, Lin En peeked out, looking at a wild boar-like beast not far ahead, patrolling back and forth. Behind it was a treasure chest.
Lin En swallowed, taking a few deep breaths. Ah, it really was fragrant. He didn't expect the aroma to be coming from the beast itself. However, looking at the braised pork on the wild boar beast's back, Lin En understood why there was a fragrance.
Looking at the flavorful and appetizing braised pork, Lin En's mouth watered.
Wiping away the saliva, Lin En quickly crouched down. Damn, that was close. He almost charged right over.
How despicable, using such deliciousness to tempt me. I won't be called Lin En if I don't show you what's what.
Lin En looked around at the surroundings and quickly found a good spot. He glanced at the braised pork and approached that spot. Soon, he arrived at the place he'd found earlier.
Looking at the braised-back wild boar not far away, Lin En stood between two large rocks with his shotgun. The space between the two rocks wasn't wide enough for the wild boar to pass through.
Picking up a rock from the ground, Lin En planned to lure the wild boar over, hoping to trap it between the two rocks.
Thump, thud.
Seeing the stone on the ground, the braised-back wild boar was very angry. Hmph, it shook its head, about to look around, when thump, another stone fell down. The braised-back wild boar turned its head towards the direction the stone came from and saw a bipedal beast standing there, holding stones in its hand.
The braised-back wild boar's fiery temper flared up instantly, and the braised pork on its back began to steam, with juice dripping out.
Seeing the braised-back wild boar start to steam, Lin En was a little puzzled. However, looking at the movement of its front legs, Lin En knew it was about to charge.
Sure enough, the braised-back wild boar charged straight over. Seeing the wild boar running so fast, Lin En immediately ran towards the two rocks.
He arrived in a moment, and hearing the sound coming from behind, Lin En went straight through the middle.
Awwuuu, awwuuu~~~~.
Hearing the roar behind him, Lin En knew he'd succeeded. Turning around, he saw that the wild boar was indeed stuck, and it was stuck in the middle, with its feet not even touching the ground.
Looking at the stuck wild boar, Lin En took out his shotgun just in case and fired a shot at it.
Bang~~, the loud noise echoed throughout the dungeon.
"So fragrant," after the braised-back wild boar died, the fragrance of the braised pork on its back became even stronger.
Just as Lin En was wondering how to handle it, a system prompt popped up.
[Decompose?]
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Lin En thought for a moment and clicked [Yes].

He could clearly feel his strength had increased a lot. Lin En clenched his fists, feeling the difference.
Taking out the wild boar heart from his backpack, looking at the red pig heart, Lin En felt a little troubled. He didn't have any fire-starting tools. Was he going to eat it raw??
After thinking about it, Lin En still couldn't bring himself to eat it. He'd better check the [Trade] market to see if there were any.
Opening the trade page, it was densely packed. Most people were still using stones to trade for food or water, with a small portion trading other things.
Lin En roughly looked through it. There were a lot more things. It seemed that most people had already started mining.
Sure enough, with such a large base, there were a lot more good things.

There were a lot more weapons like this, and several of them were being sold by the same person. It seemed that even in this world, there were lucky people.
