The battle with the leader was long and tedious. I breathed fire into its eyes every time I got a chance, but because of its instincts, it avoided them. In the end, I still managed to blind it and break its second front paw. it became defenseless and this time I pierced its brain through the eye without any problems.
"You got 200 XP"
Nice catch. I looked around the area. There doesn't seem to be anyone, but still. I took the body of one of the wolves to my lair. It's almost nothing for me, yet extra food won't harm. Let's skip the moment when I dragged it. It was long and dreary. When I returned and made sure that everything was in order, I looked at the specifications.

Despite the speed increase, I didn't notice it. I suspect that I will feel it only after sleeping, or she will slowly rise herself. I went to bed at night as usual, naturally with an alarm spell. And in the morning I realized that my body had become lighter. I walked with ease and soon noticed that I had grown in size again. By the way, system, what is my height?
"You are 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide."
No wonder the cave has already become narrow. I decided to find another one today. But first the stats.

As I thought, I have improved skills related to my physique. Everything, except breathing. But I think it increases after evolutions. This time I went to look for another cave. I searched for some time and found it. A big bear lived there. It wasn't strong, but it wasn't weak either.
"Forest bear

I was excited. I wonder how much experience I'll get from it? Okay, whatever. It noticed me and let out a roar.
Stolen novel; please report.
-*ROOAAR!*
It's like it's shouting that this is his territory. Probably, it scares off the weak with this. No matter, I used blinding light and then shot a stone arrow in the head. Unlike fire, stone ones hit harder and break bones more easily. But they require more time for caste. It seems a bit, but this bit could determine the question between life and death.
The arrow pierced its skull and stuck in it. This thing has hard skin.
-*Roooar!*
It flew into a rage and attacked me. But I cast the cat's agility, and then I started keeping the distance between it and myself. Soon the animal understood that it was at a disadvantage and started looking for ways to kill me. Unfortunately for it, I don't allow the enemy to gain an advantage. And to be honest, it couldn't do anything to me anyway. Due to the increased agility along with the cat's agility, I was too fast for it. In general, it was a beating. He tried to escape, but I hindered it in every way, catching it at these moments, I inflicted severe wounds on it. After about 10 minutes, it is finally dead.
"You got 140 XP"
Not a little, but not a lot. I went to inspect its cave. It's big and I think it will serve enough time. Out of habit, I arranged the place, trying to make everything the safest for myself. It would be better to also use the rune, but the claws do not allow it. I went deer hunting and returned to my cave in the evening.
The next day, nothing foreshadowed trouble. Almost. While hunting, I suddenly heard a voice. And it looked like they were speaking the language of an intelligent race.
I saw a group of people. They look like typical representatives of mercenaries. Well, or like adventurers in anime and the like. But it doesn't matter. There are four of them. One healthy, almost 2 meters. He wears heavy armor and a large sword with a shield. The second is thin and slender, with light armor and a bow. And the third is a girl with short hair and clothes like a magician. The fourth is like a golden mean between the first and the second. His body is not too long or slender. Wear chain mail and one sword in a scabbard. By the look of it, most likely the leader.
I appreciated them.

They're quite strong, hm, it reminds me of something. Like I heard a story like that, but I'm not stupid enough to go to meet them with the hope they'll become my friends. I decided to listen to what they were saying for now.
- Adam, are you sure that the spider of the dark lands fell here?
- Absolutely, if we find this spider and its offspring, I think three or four will be enough for this rich man to believe that we killed them all. In the end, even if they take over this forest, it will not hurt us. Emma, tell me how critical this is.
- As far as I know, they will live a maximum of 40 years before they die out. Due to the lack of blood varieties, they will have to mate with each other. Because of this, the offspring will be weaker and weaker. So that's all right.
- You see, this is not a problem, and even if it is revealed, the rich man will solve everything himself. After all, with his rank as an earl, he would be able to hide it.
Hmm, interesting. I wanted to catch them and interrogate them. But I understand that this is impossible. One of them is already a serious opponent. And as a team, they're more likely to kill me. I decided to follow them. I have a plan to deal with them.
…
At night, when 2 of them were sleeping, and two were on the lookout. I came up with a good plan. I went to the nearest den of wolves. Their leader is stronger than the leader of that pack, and their number is more than sixteen. I disturbed them and started running away in the direction of those mercenaries. When there were about 300 meters left, I ran away faster and used the chameleon skin spell, and merged with the tree. Having lost me, the wolves split up in search. It's time to start the plan.
