=================================

When the sun really rises and the view is clear, Shiro sees a water monster that rises to the surface. The monster looks like a snake that has a length of about 2 meters with a red, black and yellow motif. However, after reading the status display that appeared, Shiro learned that the Monster was not a snake, but an electric eel named Electrophorus Electricus, level 30 Beast Monster.

Even though it looks like a tame animal, but Electrophorus Electricus is classified as a dangerous water monster. With the High Voltage Skill possessed by the Monster, Shiro can be killed instantly if he approaches the Monster randomly.

Shiro did not have the type of long-range attack that was effectively used to kill, and because it was too dangerous to enter the water to approach the Monster, Shiro let the Monster swim freely through the river's current.

With the cool morning air and the chirping of birds that sounded friendly, Shiro continued his journey quite relaxed. He whistled and then sang a children's song that was slipped with inconsequential lyrics.

♪Hey Tayo! Hey Tayo! Heee is a friendly little bus♪

♪Speeding up, and crashing, eeeeverybody's dead. Hoii!!♪

"Hmm ..?" Shortly after he finished singing the second verse, Shiro met with Monster again. This time a group of Beaver the size of young Crocodiles gathered at the riverbank and were seen destroying the nests of their kind.

=================================

One of the Giant Otter saw Shiro approaching. The Monster looked at Shiro while playing with his long mustache, he seemed to be making sure if the one approaching them was an enemy or not.

Quite calmly, Shiro continued to walk while taking his long knife. Meanwhile, the Giant Otter who saw Shiro taking a weapon gave a signal of danger to his flock.

Giant Otter's herd starts running to attack Shiro. The Giant Otter who was at the forefront jumped at Shiro and launched an attack with his sharp claws. Quite easily Shiro was able to avoid the attack, but attacks from other Giant Otters began to come in turn.

For a Monster weighing up to 50 kg, the Giant Otter jump is quite high. Shiro looked a little troubled to avoid the successive attacks, he avoided by looking down and leaning his body to the side, but sometimes he also launched a counterattack by piercing the vital parts of the monsters.

One-to-two attacks launched by Shiro were able to make the herd of monsters fall one by one, but there was a Giant Otter who suddenly attacked him from behind and bit his shoulder. "Get away from me!!" Shiro reaches his back trying to release the Giant Otter that was still biting his shoulder, and then threw the Monster into the river.

Electrophorus Electricus who was still around the waters welcomed the Giant Otter with a high-voltage electric shock, which made the beast's body stiffen and die instantly.

Seeing this incident Shiro slowly stepped on his feet and stood right on the river's edge. He utilizing the presence of Electrophorus Electricus as a protector so that the herd of Giant Otter did not attack him from behind.

Since the number of Beaver monsters was not too much, Shiro was able to defeat them all quite easily. Without the slightest decrease in alertness from the possibility of a surprise attack from another Monster, Shiro slowly ate some jam sandwiches and occasionally drank HP Potions instead of water.

After Shiro felt everything was ready, he returned to continue his journey to find a way to get back into the forest. After quite a distance he walked along the riverbank, suddenly he heard the sound of human screams coming from the depths of the forest that is across the river.

Shiro hurried along the river bank, hoping to find a bridge or something he could use to cross the river, but as far as the eye could see, he could not find anything useful except a large stone in the middle of the river.

Even though the distance from the rock to the riverbank was quite far, and Shiro had no idea how to swim, Shiro still tried to jump onto the rock by running at full speed. He slipped and almost fell into the river, but without the slightest hesitation, he jumped back across the river and then rushed into the forest to the source where the sound had come from.

The further he ran, the clearer the riots he heard, and the voices sounded like a war.

Shiro who was too focused towards the source of the sound was surprised to see The Mighty Beast who suddenly ran toward him from the side. Because he had no time to dodge, the Gorilla managed to hit him so hard that he was thrown far enough.

The impact of the Heavy Blow Skill that hit him was quite strong, Shiro's HP was only very little left and made him almost lose consciousness. He hurried to his feet and ran away from The Mighty Beast, and as he continued to run he tried to drink 3 HP Potions at once plus 3 more Potions in his left hand. Not all of the liquid potion can be drunk by him, there are some which spill because he drank it in a hurry. Even so, his HP bar can still be full again because at this time his HP bar is only able to accommodate 5,500 HP points.

Because The Mighty Beast had chased him down, Shiro's HP bar which had just filled up, was now reduced again. Without giving Shiro time to get up, The Mighty Beast attacks Shiro by brutally hitting his body and then grabbed one of his legs and threw him at the large tree beside them. "Cough!"

Although the damage inflicted is not huge, but the Monster's continuous attack could bring Shiro's HP back to the red line, which means it's less than 10%.

Shiro who realized that he was in a state of danger rushed to get up and launch a counterattack. With the two blades he had snatched from the Monkey Warrior last night, he pierced the Gorilla's stomach with all his might.

While the Monster was struggling in pain, Shiro hurriedly ran away while taking several HP potions from his storage room.

Seeing The Mighty Beast running after him, he hurriedly drank the potions and then deflected the heavy blow with his long knife, so Shiro and The Mighty Beast were both affected by the attack.

Shiro who was thrown away had the thought to run away, because of the possibility that the people who were shouting for help didn't have much time left. However, before he could defeat The Mighty Beast, it was very unlikely for him to be able to leave, because it would be very troublesome if the Monster was still chasing him the moment he got there later.

So Shiro got back up, strengthened his will and prepared to attack The Mighty Beast, who was seen running toward him with anger.
