Chapter 29
Late in the afternoon, Clayton had just finished his training and crafted several magic scrolls. With everything done, he finally had some free time.
Feeling a bit bored, he decided to check on the seeds he had planted a few days ago. Unfortunately, the condition of the plants was discouraging. Seeing this, Clayton let out a long sigh.
He looked around for something interesting to do but found nothing that caught his attention. Since the air outside was freezing cold, he decided to head back inside.
Just as he was about to step through the door, a tree branch suddenly fell from above and struck him. Startled, Clayton let out a shout and looked around, trying to figure out who had thrown it. He was sure it wasn't a natural fall—there were no trees nearby.
He quickly stepped outside and scanned the area but saw no one suspicious. Just as he was about to investigate further, a strange sound echoed:
Squeal! Squeal!
A not-so-large wild boar emerged from the bushes, charging straight at Clayton like a predator spotting its prey.
Clayton was shocked but instinctively dodged to the side.
Boom!
The boar's momentum was too strong, and it crashed into the fence, smashing it to pieces.
Clayton stood frozen, unsure what to do. The boar quickly got back up and locked eyes with him, its gaze burning with wild intensity.
