Lv.?? Bloodthirsty Earth Bear

Before leaving to find a water source, I looked at my <STATUS>.

__________________________

During the time I practised to reach Lv.14 <Minor Sword Mastery>, my Agility Attribute reached 21 Stats through Safety mode.

When the Agility Attribute reached 20 Stats, I obtained a new Skill, <Agility Boost-I>.

__________________________________

[<Agility Boost-I> (Uncommon)]

Increases Agility Attribute by 15% for a duration of 1 minute.

Cost: 10 Spirit Energy peruse.

Cooldown: 10 minutes.

_________________________

It meant that my Agility Attribute would become 24 Stats when <Agility Boost-I> gets activated, increasing my survivability even more.

I tied the <Rusty Short Sword> around my waist with the boxing wraps since it was harder to leap from tree to tree while holding the weapon. It sometimes required both of my hands to support and balance my body while moving at faster speeds.

I started to think about which direction I should be heading and decided to go towards the North direction since I had already been to the East, where I found Goblins, and to the West, where I found Poisonous Spiders.

While moving towards North, I didn't walk on the ground and instead walked to the top of the tree with the <Adhesive Boots>.

When I reached the top, I started jumping from tree to tree and headed North.

After crossing around 800 meters, I found a tree with golden leaves. That was comparatively small to the trees surrounding it as it was only 5 meters tall.

3 Golden coloured fruits were hanging from the tree.

I immediately used <Inspect> on the golden fruits.

[<High Vitality Fruit>(Rare Grade): Increases 100 Health upon consumption.]

[Special Effect: Permanently increases 10 Stats in Vitality Attribute when it was consumed for the first time.]

Even before such a temptation, I didn't try to pluck it at all.

The reason behind it was pretty simple, there was a 4 meter long Brown furred Bear sleeping under the tree with blood splashes on its face, and it looked like it recently ate a creature.

I wasn't able to look at the level, but its name was visible.

[Lv.?? Bloodthirsty Earth Bear]

Just as I inspected the Brown Bear, my <Inspect> Skill directly levelled up 3 times, making me wonder about the Level and Tier of the Brown Bear.

[Lv.3<Inspect> ➝ Lv.6<Inspect>]

With the increased Skill Level of <Inspect>, there was a small change in the <Inspect> notification. I could see the Tier of the Brown Bear.

[Lv.?? Bloodthirsty Earth Bear (Tier-2)]

The Bloodthirsty Earth Bear must have known the value of the tree and its fruits since it stayed near the golden leafed tree.

I thought inwardly, 'It would be the same as seeking death if I even try to approach the Golden leafed tree with my current Level.'

I mentally marked it as a dangerous area and quietly backed away a few trees, and just then, I felt a cool breeze that came from the North West direction.

I was delighted because a cool breeze generally originates from Waterbodies. With that, I started heading towards the North-West Direction.

After crossing 300 meters, the line of trees ended, and I found a Clearwater lake, which was nearly half a kilometre wide and was too long to see its ending.

There was a mountain range to the opposite side of the lake. A mountain range was visible extending along the lake.

I got down from the tree and approached the Lake and inspected the almost transparent Water.

[Crystal Lake Water - Natural and pure drinkable water.]

Once I found that the water was safe, I cupped my hands together, scooped up some water, and drank until I had my fill.

Surprisingly the taste of Crystal Lake Water was refreshing even though it did not have any taste or smell but compared to the consumable water on earth; the difference was like night and day.

I wanted to cross the lake to scout and explore more, but I was not strong enough to face different monsters existing in this place yet.

Back then, I was able to kill so many Poisonous Spiders because they were weaker than what their level actually showed.

If the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider attacked me after waiting till the battle of attrition ended with the huge number of Poisonous Spiders ended, I would have been in an even more troublesome situation.

I had to get stronger to survive in the Trial Zone since I didn't know when a powerful monster would attack me.

I started returning, and when I almost reached the tree, I heard a few low growls and felt goosebumps all over my body.

I looked around me and found that a large pack of 15 Wolves surrounded me.
