Wandering around the edge of the forest, Tark picked up some berries and stone to put in his small pouches. After carefully and skillfully dodged all the possible troubles from wild animals and beasts on the way, he arrives at an open area in the wood.

" That boar zone should be around here.. Ah there's it "

Confirmed the target's position, Tark grab a handful of dirt the size of a soccer ball, condensed it down to a tennis ball's size, take his aim and throw the ball as hard as he could toward his target...

----------

Not too far away, a herd of boars was feasting on their unfortunate preys...

* Plopk! *

One of the boar's get knocked and almost tripped on itself, the rest of its herd stopped eating as they look around in confusion.

* Ploph! Plock! Plack! *

Balls after balls of dirt with the size of a soccer ball came crashing into those boars. At first they wanted to run away but after noticing their attacker's small stature, they decided to charge at him instead. The speed of them boars accelerate the longer they ran, so Tark has to zig-zag through trees to dodge them.

* Bang *

Some boars lack finer motor skills ended up slamming themselves into the trees. Tark running around, luring about a dozen of hostile feral pig into the wolf's territory.

Shortly after, Tark face his shield to the ground, channeled his mana into the shield, filling up the magic formation that he engraved beforehand.

* Whoooosh! *

The formation call forth was one of Tark's original magic, Wind. A strong gush of air released in front of the shield, sent Tark flying upward. Unfortunately standing beneath lush shades meant face first into a branch.

* Tack *

" Ark! " Grabbing the branch with his other arm, Tark re-position his shield to his back then climb to a higher place, ignoring the angry stares of them boars below.

----------

Meanwhile, wolves that marked it's territory here heard noise from the wood. The leader wolf take up its role and go check for the commotion and found the pigs.

* Whou- oooooou~! *

Those boars that gather around the tree quickly got spotted distracted by the wolfs. And so they clash.

Headbutting, claw scratching, jaw gnawing, nose goring... all sort of aggressive exchanges are being delivered. Tark higher up the branches casually eating the berries he picks before, occasionally throwing stones at them for fun.

Time flew by, their battle left both sides devasted and finally, Tark climb down the tree the moment he feels suit. Standing on the ground with his shield to cover himself, Tark raised up the earth in the shape of many small balls, launching them all like a rain shower toward the beasts. It wasn't just one round of dirt-rain, it was a minute worth of dirt shower, burried some of the creature and scared some away.

After that's done, he stacks the dead boars on top of his shield and levitate that pile back to his home.

Vera in another part of the jungle, arrived at where the explosion took place earlier.

" Quickly! Have that fence done and release the beasts "

" You there! Leave that shit for later and help the others. And stop using explosive spell. I don't want those patrols to find this place yet. "

" Lak! Get that beast to sleep! That one is last. "

One of the guys directing the others around like a field commander.

" Boss, why don't we wait for a latter date? It would be safer without those patrols around. "

Slapped the head of the stupid question's queried guy, the boss scolded back: "And what's next? Become the "cursed"? Work fast or I will leave you back with them beasts. " The poor man ran away before getting kicked from his grumpy boss.

These people are constructing a man-made chimera beasts for those creatures possess very high value in the eye of their contractor. They cut wood above ground and transfer the planks underground to barricade their cave system. Beast of various kind are getting delivered to the cave, and sealed down to the ground with many formation and chain in separated cell.

Being around a dungeon's spawning zone is dangerous as it'd cause every thing in the vicinity to become distorted, birthing out many hideous creature and destroying the landscape. Chimeras are beasts that's unlucky to not run away on time and get deformed in the process. Artificially made chimeras are much weaker than those spawned naturally inside dungeons, but they are dangerous nonetheless.

' These guys shouldn't be here, and shouldn't do that either. ' - Vera thought.

After some contemplation, she decided to just get in and have words with them strangers.

" Greeting, gentlemen. You guys shouldn't be here and you know why. "

' Ah crap, I knew those explosions by that idiot would bring troubles, but I didn't expect to be this soon. ' - The boss sighed in his mind.

" Hello ma'am, we are just Miners and Hunters. Why mustn't we be around here? "

" What kind of Miners and Hunters that deliver wood and beast down to the underground? Funeral service? "

' So she saw. Damn it. '

" Well you must be day-dreaming ma'am. As you can see, we are transporting the creature OUT and into those CAGES. " - The guy especially yelling out the words for his underling to get the ideas while pointing his hand toward the empty cages in the open. But sadly, not all of his men are capable as one of his underling loose control of a monkey beast, let it runs up and out of the cave. The man chased it, defeated it, and dragged is back under the watchful eyes of Vera and the boss.

Mentally exhausted, the boss know he couldn't hide anymore and issued an emergency order.

" BOYS! SEIZE HER! "
