On a bright day in a vast forest, many figures quickly shuttle between the trees, some are slow and some are fast, and below them, there is an animal running away from them, this seems to be a hunt

  The animal was like an ox that has rhino characteristics, a strong sharp horn stood on the tip of the nose, and its short fur was whole gray, with well-developed limbs, a strong tail, and a round head. It looks like a combination of a group of animals.

  Suddenly, a young boy stretches out a hand and gathers jade green mana upon his palm, jade green mana starts whirling and forming a finger-sized needle-like projectile, it cycling with raging wind and swift to his middle finger, ready to shoot.

  "Alright, cyclone needle... aim... and... fire!" The young boy shouts.

  The boy snaps his middle finger and launches the cyclone needle. The cyclone needle is shot out at high speed, and the strong wind roars past, flying close to the ground and even lifting the turf.

  The cyclone needle gets closer and closer to the prey, then impales from the belly to the heart and penetrates the head. The prey is splattering with blood, its eyes turn white and fall to the ground motionless. As for the cyclone needle, it loses its mana replenishment and immediately dissipates.

  "Aha! I got him!" The boy cheers.

  "Good job, Saze! You have slain 7 of kaulk now, impressive!" Moty gives a compliment, giving him a thumbs up and a wink.

  Seeing the bloody kaulk lying on the ground lifeless, Saze feels a bit of nausea. This animal wasn't weak, it was strong and muscular and it's actually hard to kill kaulk due to the thick and hard skin that protects its body well.

  Moty also knew that Saze couldn't defeat kaulk by himself, so he brought other spiders to help. What's more, kaulk is a social animal. The reason why this kaulk was alone was that Moty used her third-stage aura to scare them so there would be single ones.

  "But let me take a rest first, I need to recover my mana." Saze says lightly.

  With that, he sits instantly and sweeps off the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. He also raises his head and looks at the sky, the eye rune of the day is located at the center of the sky, it is noon right now.

  "Gruu gruu!" Three medium spiders jump off from the tree and land beside Saze.

  "Yeah, fair enough, you should take a rest. After all, you just did training with me and slain 7 kaulks this morning." Moty says lightly.

  "Moty, are we just heading to the east? Why don't we go in another direction? Maybe north will be better or something new." Saze asks.

  "Nope, we are not heading north, there is more dangerous because its more deeper, the more deeper the more dangerous." Moty shakes her head.

  "Ah, okay... but I want to know that, what is the center of the forest? You said the deeper the more dangerous, will there be a lord of the forest?" Saze asks with excitement, two eyes gleaming with curiosity light.

  "Ugh... there is no lord of this forest but the center of this vast forest is a huge hole, a very very big and also very very deep hole. The size of that hole may be... hundredfolds of the ruined palace." Moty thinks deeply and says.

  Saze takes a hard gulp and doesn't expect that huge also a question comes to mind with confusion but after thinking about it, he chooses not to ask.

  With a comfortable breeze blowing and the warm temperature, Saze closes his eyes comfortably and enjoy it. The flowers and plants sway in the wind, and the three spiders next to him also lie on him to rest.

  Suddenly, Saze feels a slight pain on his forehead, when he opens his eyes, he sees that it is Moty flicking his forehead. He gently rubs his forehead.

  "Ugh... why?" He asks.

  "What do you mean why? Here is a forest, there are many crises hiding everywhere and you are still enjoying with your eyes closed, maybe the next time you open your eyes you will find yourself in heaven." Moty is amused by Saze's question.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  Saze was enlightened by this, he touched his nose and tried to hide his embarrassment. What Moty said was right. He couldn't refute it, so he simply admitted his mistake and apologized.

  "I'm sorry! I won't do it again." Saze apologizes with a smile.

  "Alright, are you done resting now? I think we can go for another round." Moty chuckle.

  "Ah, yes, I'm done! Let's go!" Saze says happily.

  The prerequisite for restoring mana is that you cannot fight. Mana cannot be restored during fighting, so you must cherish your mana and not waste it in fighting.

  A few seconds later, five figures were shuttles through the woods, heading east and looking for the next prey. As they moved eastward, Saze killed more prey, including kaulks, as well as other dangerous animals like a four-eyed python and a giant fire-breathing lizard.

  In this way, they hunted until nearly evening and then decided to go back. The three spiders dragged all the prey aside to sort it out, while Saze and Moty walked quite far away with some of the prey to choose a good place to roast them.

  Although the three spiders are not big, they are able to carry a lot of prey, and there are some remaining prey that they can't carry away, so Moty starts roasting them with flame arcane.

  "Let's eat, an afternoon tea without tea." Moty focuses on controlling the fire.

  "Heh ok, I bring those three spiders come here to eat with us." Saze says lightly and heads in the direction of those spiders.

  Saze trots all the way to where three spiders are handling their prey, but there is no trace of the three spiders on the prey that was wrapped in spider silk.

  Suddenly, an orb of orange mana forms a fiery fireball in the bush behind Saze and shoots it directly at him. The moment it was launched, the flames instantly burned the bush to ashes and the fireball quickly enlarged as it flew. When Saze turns around, he sees a fireball as big as his body flying towards him.

  Saze's eyes widen and acts instantly and casts arcane to avoid.

  "Wind step!" Saze shouts in mind.

  Suddenly a gust of wind gathers at his feet and helps him up. With a thought and a little mana, the wind at his feet takes him back to the side to avoid the huge fireball.

  "Who the hell was there!" Saze shouts angrily.

  Boom!

  There was only a huge explosion in response to Saze. The shock wave at that moment almost knocks him down. When he looks back, he sees that the huge fireball seems to hit a tree and then explodes. The scope of the explosion was not small, and the wrapped prey had melted.

  "This is definitely the second stage!" Saze gulp and says in mind. Although the flames behind his back were searing, there was cold sweat on Saze's back.

  "Gruu!" With that, a spider figure comes out from the top and then blasts out a poisonous black needle.

  It is one of the three spiders, the spider shoots a poisonous needle from the mouth to a bush and lands before Saze. When the poisonous needle was inserted, the bush shook a bit and then let out a scream.

  "Ahh!" It was a voice from a girl.

  "This brute! How dare you hurt me?! I will rip you to shreds, you ugly monster!" The girl shouts and charges towards the spider.

  At this moment, Saze also sees the girl's appearance. She is surely a teenager that older than Saze a little bit, her face has exquisite features, fair skin, and brown long hair but her face twitches from the anger and pain in her arm which makes her seem an ugly girl.

  She wore a crimson attire with a great line design and a badge on her chest. The poisonous black needle has pierced her skin and is bleeding but her head was carried away by anger.

  Just when the spider is ready to attack again, Saze attacks the girl first. The jade green mana forms a cyclone needle on his fingertips and shoots it directly to the girl.

  "Cyclone needle!" Saze casts an attack.

  The girl is in disdain when she sees the green cyclone needle pointing toward her head. She stops and raises her arms and opens her palms as if casting a spell but nothing happens. She panics and tries to dodge the cyclone needle but it is too late.

  The girl closes her eyes subconsciously and just when the needle is going to hit her head an arrow suddenly hits the cyclone needle, the cyclone gets interrupted and dissipates instantly.

  "What...?!" Saze subconsciously look in the direction where the arrow comes from.

  But at this time a rapid sounds grass rustling sounds behind Saze, as if somebody is behind him. Saze's mind rings with an alarm bell, and a strong sense of crisis fills his mind. His thoughts flash quickly, and then he cast the wind step to quickly move to the left. His intuition seems to tell him that the left side is safe.

  "Gru! Gru!!" The spider shouts to Saze.

  Before Saze figures out what the spider means, a cold metal blade touches his neck. Saze quickly realizes that it is a sharp knife and there is a person behind him.

  "Heya~ Little clumsy boy, where are you running at? You enjoy the hunt, right? How about being hunt?" A very seductive female voice sounds behind Saze.

  "Hahaha! Sophia, you got him! Nice one!" A laugh bursts out from the direction where the arrow comes from.

  A black hair male teenager comes out behind the tree with a mocking smile at Saze. He has a black wooden bow and arrow in his hand. The bow looks extraordinary and some parts are made of blue crystal. He wore a brown robe and white culottes.

  Saze didn't look at the black hair boy but asked the girl behind him while placing a sharp knife on his neck.

  "Is that... Illusion arcane? You use illusion arcane to fake the sounds?" Saze asks.

  "Hm? Sadly it's but that's not arcane, I'm just using my arcane to fake the sounds." The girl chuckles.

  Just when Saze was about to ask more, the brown-haired girl spoke first, but her voice didn't sound right.

  "H-Hey...! I feel dizzy..." The brown hair girl faints after speaking.
