DEMONIC FOREST

When the inner area was less than 500 meters, I stopped my steps and sat down at the nearby tree to call the rats who were still following me from the entrance of the forest.

" I know you people are still following me, so now come out when I am still talking nicely " I shouted.

At first, nobody came out but when I moved my eyes in their direction, and shouted again.

Three people came out from the tree which was 100 meters away with one of them being fat, another one tall and the last one being a skinny guy.

And the expressions of the three people were different, the fat one was looking at me with greedy eyes, the tall one was being suspicious of me and the skinny one was looking somewhat panicked about how I found out about their location.

While they were coming towards me I asked the system to check their cultivation.

{ The fat one is an F-rank martial artist specialized in fists, the skinny one is an F-rank magician with an affinity towards fire element and the tall one is an F-rank martial artist specialized in the sword.  }

Oh, looks like the fight will be fun and they can pose a good challenge against me.

Since I want to know how much strong, I am in a real life and death battle and another reason is because of the sudden quest given by the system which caught me off guard.

{ SUDDEN QUEST :

MISSION REQUIREMENT: Teach the people who are following the host a lesson that they will never forget in their life.

REWARD: 5% increase in the progress towards the advanced level of your selected martial art or magic spell }

When I was seeing the description of the quest, the tall one among them who was the leader of the group spoke first :

" Hey kid, since you know why we are following you, just hand over your space ring and other valuables and we will go our separate ways "

" Also don't hate us kid, as in this world the weak will always be prey to the strong in one way or another," said the tall one.

The fat one who looked impatient from the start directly pointed his hand at me and said:

" Hey, kid if you don't want to die just hand over your spatial ring fast otherwise don't blame me for being  " before he finished his sentence, I kicked him in the stomach with my full strength and due to the huge force behind it, he flew out and fainted on the spot.

When the skinny one saw the situation, he immediately realized that he is not an opponent of mine and started running away without caring about his teammates.

But before he could escape, I immediately increased my speed and punched him in the face, and kicked him in the stomach.

The sound of the breaking bones could be heard by everyone and he fainted, unable to bear the pain.

Now only the tall one remained but he is also the strongest one among his group.

As I turned towards the tall man what I saw in his eyes was fear, while his hands were slightly trembling as even he didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this while seeing his pathetic state I said : 

" What you said is right, in this world weak are always prey to the strong ones " and as I was about to attack him, suddenly he kneeled on the ground and said:

" Young Master please forgive me for attacking you " with a crying face but still I didn't stop. 

Instead, I started using the Red Dragon fist and my whole fist was covered with fire energy resembling a dragon shape.

When the tall man realized that his trick of fooling me and later doing a sneak attack on me failed, he immediately took a fighting posture and released his aura of an F rank martial artist and by looking at his intensity of aura, he is only one step away from reaching E rank.

When I was about to reach him, he immediately started attacking me with sword cuts by using his sword but I dodged his attacks while observing his attack patterns and also started attacking his vital points whenever I saw an opening in him.

The confrontation between the two of us became more and more dangerous with the passing of time but the tall man suffered severe injuries while I also suffered some minor injuries.

And slowly the frequency of his attacks became faster but I figured out his attack pattern and dodged them easily without any problem.

Even Though I am able to confront him on equal grounds, I am also starting to feel tired.

So I immediately used the Red Dragon fist second move " Mountain Strike " with every ounce of my remaining strength and punched him in his stomach.

The sound of breaking several ribs was heard and there was a huge hole in his stomach.

Due to the shock of severe pain, he immediately blanked out.

I tied the three of them to the same tree where they were hiding and as for their survival in the forest, I will leave it to their luck.

And I started moving towards the inner area of the forest cautiously, as there will be many strong beasts with different abilities which will be very difficult to tackle even if I am prepared.

{ QUEST COMPLETED: Teach the people who are following the host a lesson that they will never forget in their life.

REWARD: 5% increase in the progress towards the advanced level of your selected martial art or magic spell }

Soon I reached the inner area and I felt many gazes towards me but this time it was not of humans but of various beasts in the nearby area.

I immediately took out the puppet given by the system and made it release the pressure of the D Rank martial artist.

All the gazes which I felt previously, immediately left after feeling the pressure released by the puppet.

When I was moving towards the cave where the flood python is resting, I suddenly saw a dark-colored wolf with red eyes revealing a ferocious light and a mouth of sharp teeth gleaming with cold light with the cultivation of E rank.
