I was running while a berserk blood boar chased after me.

Its eyes had turned red, and it was throwing its saliva everywhere. It was a pretty disgusting sight for eyes.

"It"s catching up to me."

The only thing I was better than these mid Meta-rank blood boars was agility.

But in the berserk state, their physical ability was reinforced making even their agility slightly higher than me.

Putting more strength in my legs, I ran towards the large rock ahead. It was almost 7 feet tall and almost thrice as thick.

When I was near it, I crouched and easily jumped on top of it in one single sweep.

I still felt weird doing these superhuman feats.

THUD-!

The blood boar, as if it hadn"t seen the rock, didn"t slow down in the least and smashed its head into the rock.

[Congratulations, you have killed a Lvl.6 Blood Boar. You have gained 100 exp.]

The exp was reduced since the gap level had reduced now that I was level 5.

I jumped down and pulled my spear away from its corpse.

"It broke."

My spear was broken into two halves, rendering it useless.

It was good that I had crafted a spear from the shadow fox earlier or I wouldn"t had anything to use right now.

I attacked it with my spear to practice my throwing skills and getting its aggro at the same time.

Around me were 4 more corpses of blood boars that I had similarly hunted in the past hour.

Hunting beasts this easily was a blessing. I could finally feel the bliss of having transmigrated.

I had a very difficult first day due to having transmigrated at the wrong time.

Thankfully, now everything was going a lot more smoothly. I didn"t need to fight the blood boars personally, making hunting a lot easier.

Otherwise, I couldn"t have hunted more than one boar in one hour.

I collected the core of the blood boar and began roaming to find my new target.

By now, the sun was ready to hide completely. And the evening was about to turn into night.

I chuckled as I remembered Lark"s and Ryan"s expressions when I had mentioned this plan to them. Since blood boars were common beasts, both of them already knew about their berserk ability.

Maybe because they were born in this world, their common sense had made them unable to think of this plan.

To them, my plan must have sounded like inflating balloons with a blower. Common sense dictated it can"t be done.

After all, in usual circ.u.mstances, doing this would put other adventures or hunters in danger. So they must have been unconsciously ignoring this plan.

But were our current circ.u.mstances normal?

"We should go with it. The bracelet would protect everyone from any life-threatening attack. At most, they would get injured."

Thankfully it wasn"t hard to convince both of them.

I felt vibrations underneath my feet as I was running to find other boars.

Feeling the tremors, my brows furrowed.

"Did the protagonist already blow up the volcano?"

[Time Remaining: 59:51:43]

"No, it"s too early."

There were still a few hours left.

KREECH-!

"That the sound of ….trees falling?!"

I turned on my heels and started running away from the direction of the noise.

My expression was turning increasingly worse. I could feel that the noises were getting closer to me.

-THRRHRW

Within a few minutes the tremors had increased more in intensity.

I didn"t waste my time and kept running at full speed towards the predetermined meeting point.

"Nathan here!"

Ryan appeared on my right and cut a blood boar rushing towards me.

"I could have been in serious trouble if he didn"t appear just now."

The blood boar had managed to reach a few feet from me. And I was unable to detect it.

Ryan beckoned me and both of us ran towards the west.

On our way, we encountered two low-level blood boars, which Ryan eliminated without much effort.

Both of us reached a tree on which Lark was standing. It was one of the thickest trees I had seen in this forest.

"Climb up here. This tree should hold on for some time."

We climbed to the top and looked toward the source of the noises.

-THRRHRWVDWK

The tremors were no longer small. The branches were now visibly shaking. The noises were also increasing in volume.

"It"s sta-"

"The stampede"

But why was it happening this early?

A blood boar goes into a berserk state when they smell blood over a certain threshold.

This in itself isn"t enough to call blood boars dangerous.

But what if it happens on a large scale?

Hundreds of blood boars would go berserk. When this happens, on a large scale, they wouldn"t attack themselves.

Rather, a stampede happens.

This results in a ma.s.sive amount of damage to lives and property.

Even inside dungeons, a stampede was dangerous as it could catch adventures unaware and lead to heavy losses.

-THRRHRW –THRRHRW –THRRHRW

The noises getting louder and louder. It reached a point where we began having trouble hearing each other.

-THRRHRW –THRRHRW –THRRHRW

A blanket of dust was rising in the air forming brown clouds.

-THRRHRW –THRRHRW –THRRHRW

Finally, we could see berserk boars with our naked eyes.

At first, only three or four boars appeared.

Then 10, then 20, then 50. Their numbers kept increasing and increasing.

It became difficult to even find a place to step on the ground.

Running away on the ground was no longer feasible.

But our problems were just starting.

THUD-! CREAK-!

A blood boar smashed into the tree we had climbed, making the tree tremble.

THUD-! CREAK-!

It happened again.

THUD-! CREAK-!

The tree creaked repeatedly, but it still stood tall. We were holding the tree firmly to not fall off.

THUD-! CREAAKKK-!

The tree trembled for longer this time. It was only a matter of time before we would be forced to go down.

I heard Lark saying something behind me.

Just as I turned around…

*Push*

Lark pushed me and threw me into the stampede.

He was smiling gently as he waved his hand. His lips parted, and he spoke something.

But his words were drowned between the noises of the stampede.

"Wh-"

Before I could even speak something, my body jerked.

"Hey, snap out of it! Why weren"t you moving?!"

Ryan shouted into my ear while holding me as he stood above a boar"s back.

THUD-!

Lark also landed on the boar beside us and started laughing like a maniac.

"T-That look on your face was pricesle-Pfft.Hahaha I"m sorr-hahaha"

Looking at him laughing like a deranged person and the fact that Ryan helped me land, I now understood what had happened.

Lark must have called me to start moving. But because of the noises, I wasn"t able to hear him.

Then he must have decided to pull a prank and so he pushed me down.

"..."

"Hahaha Your face was screaming "You betrayed me" Pfft Hahaha"

Ryann ignored Lark, who didn"t look like he would stop anytime soon, and beckoned me.

The ground was now filled with rampaging boars. A single step and you would be run over by an army of boars.

So how would we move now?

Simple: We just have to run on the back of boars.

If we only focused on running away by jumping on boars, it was possible to run away. At least in theory.

"f.u.c.k"

I didn"t think running in this way would be this hard. Ryan and Lark were already far ahead of me.

I was having difficulty timing my jumps and landing properly on boars. My motor controls weren"t fast enough to keep up with them.

I knew time was of the essence. So I swiftly decided to use my unallocated stat points.

[Agility – 14 --> Agility – 16]

I could immediately feel my body becoming lighter.

I could now see the boar"s hooves stomping on the ground more clearly.

It wasn"t as if I could see things moving slower, but rather I could now follow the movements more easily.

Everything was moving at the same pace but now I could see the details more vividly.

The world now flowed more smoothly for me.

With my newfound clarity, I began moving at a pace much faster and more controlled than before.

Overcoming this night will determine whether I get those manuals or not.
