18 CHAPTER 18: A HUNTING PARTY
Taylor and Edward waited in the tree cave for about one hour.
"It has been almost twelve hours since we enter Fantasy World. We entered by morning 6 am and now it's evening 6 pm. The sky is getting dark. "
said Taylor as he looked at the darkening sky.
"Boss, it seems like the wolf head, Alpha would never show up itself. Even some minions came out at this time ."
Told Edward as looked at the wolf's cave.
As some level 4 wolves came out of the cave for snooping, both of them hunted those wolves and reached level 5.
Taylor added 2 points into agility and the rest into the spirit,
{ STRENGTH - 25
CONSTITUTION - 13
AGILITY - 19
SPIRIT - 13. }
" No other way Fatty. We have to stay here for the night"
said Taylor.
" Boss. What if we get attacked by other beasts"
Edward asked.
" Fatty, we are already level 5 and we two can manage a level 6 beast. As per what the villagers said, the beasts above level 7 won't come to outer regions that easily. So we don't need to fear anything here, since the powerful beasts won't come and attack us on their own accord when a bigger prey is in the cave. We can easily cross the night."
said Taylor.
Taylor too feared staying in the forest at night. Even staying in the forest of his world, Nova is unsafe. So in this unknown forest, it's too dangerous. But he needs to level up faster to level 10 and use that God's blood potion. He had a hunch, that would be of a great boost to him. Because the ability to use mana stirred his greed for power.
' So I have to level up faster to roam this world. Damn. I spent 10 years in a dream space. I have to live here.'
After that Edward made himself comfortable in the tree cave and lie down to take a nap.
As for Taylor, he started to make a plan.
' After killing these wolves, we have to return to the village and sell the materials and make stronger armor from that bulky blacksmith's shop. Then we can come again here to hunt. These level 5 armor couldn't hold for long. '
At that time Taylor saw a group of about ten people coming their way. These guys are fully armed from head to toes. He couldn't even see their faces. Their armor is of higher quality, at least about level 10. Because at the blacksmith Taylor saw armors like that.
When the group of ten almost reached their tree, the tall man in the front looked up at Taylor. Taylor was shocked,
'Damn that guy has a keen intuition. what to do now? '
He can't even conclude their ages as they are wearing a full metal armor that's covering their faces. But he could feel, they are powerful than him.
Seeing Taylor's complicated look the tall man chuckled and said,
" Don't worry, we are going in deeper to hunt a level 10 beast. So don't stay here and leave the area. "
saying that the tall guy turned to his team and said, " let's leave. "
After seeing them go deeper into the forest, Taylor let out a deep breath. And began to think.
" Boss. They are so powerful. "
said Edward, Taylor didn't even know when this guy woke up, but he stood behind him.
" Yeah, fatty. I can feel it too"
Agreed Taylor with Edward.
As they got leveled up they can pretty much feel other people's power level.
Taylor turned toward Edward and told,
" Fatty, I think those guys are going to hunt one of the two beasts that fought today. Since after the battle they would be weak in their wounded state. These guys came for easy hunt. This is both good and bad for us. "
" The good thing is, we don't need to fear about level 10 beast attacking us in this area, in the future. Until we reach level 10, it's safe here. "
"But the bad thing is, we have to leave this area quickly. Since there is going to be a level 10 fight. There will be other high-level beasts disturbed like level 7 or 8 even level 9 might come out. That will be too bad for us. So the best is we attack the wolf cave before those guys start the fight and leave with the loot. It might be a hard fight. But leaving empty-handed will be a waste. "
Edward nodded his head, hearing that.
But Taylor didn't say Edward his other deduction that could happen after this big fight. There would be a huge change in this forest. According to the information he gathers from the village, the higher level beasts are in the center area of the forest because spiritual power is higher the inner you go in the forest. So beasts control certain areas and don't allow other beasts to enter their area. However, if a level 10 beast is dead, a lot of other levels 9 beasts will start a battle royale. And they couldn't come here to hunt anytime soon. And even some beasts might be chased out as battle begin. Those beasts may enter the village and attack the villagers. This will be too bad.
So the best of course of action is, those guys should clean up level 9 beasts as well. If these guys left after only killing level 10 beast, then there is gonna be chaos.
' If we didn't level up, we will be crushed by some random beast'
Deciding that both Taylor and Edward got down from the tree cave. And walked towards the wolf cave.
When they reached the area around the cave entrance, they couldn't find any sight of wolves. But they could see the footprints of wolves entering in and out of the cave.
After making a plan they separated and Taylor stood on the left side entrance of the cave, while Edward appeared on the right side of the cave. Then Edward took out a red rabbit's corpse and threw it into the cave.
Even though beasts on this planet have spiritual awareness, these beasts are only low-level ones so they work on their instincts. And as expected by them four coast wolf appeared.
Both Taylor and Edward rushed into the cave and attacked the wolves, not giving them time to react.
As per their plan, they fought the Wolf batch and won. But it became a hard victory. Because battling four wolves drained their mana.
After the battle, both had their health almost hit the bottom, so both left the cave and ran to the entrance while drinking their health potion. But just as they were about to reach the entrance, they saw a big red Wolf stand before them. They felt heavy pressure coming from the wolf.
"Damn, This must be at least a level 6 Wolf. "
