Back at his tree.
Now, he had a rough idea of his strength.
Grim was able to injure the leader of the wild boars. However, he couldn't eliminate it because his attacks couldn't keep up with its regeneration.
He was trying to come up with methods to deal with the leader. Suddenly, he remembered his ability, 'poison attack'. He had brushed off the ability now that he was strong enough to hunt without 'poison'.
"Regeneration can heal injuries. However, they can't deal with poison. Why didn't I think of it back then?"
He was embarrassed because he had forgotten such basic knowledge.
With a tactic in mind, he approached the wild boar territory.
It didn't take him long to spot the leader.
"Contract" His strength multiplied by 15
Grim immediately launched an attack.
Grim repeated the attack. The battle strategy had changed from strength to endurance.
He avoided using other abilities to exhaust himself. Instead, he took the advantage of his ability to fly.
Slowly, the leader boar's conditioning was worsening. Its regeneration could deal with injuries. However, it couldn't prevent the poison from slowly spreading all over his body.

After a couple of hours, the leader was already at death's door.
Not being able to keep up any longer, it collapsed.
[Congratulations to the host for eliminating the leader of the wild boar]
[You have obtained 100 Evo]
"The host can also absorb the Qi from the corpse."
"Reap"
Qi started flowing towards his body.
When he was done. The amount of Qi in his body had increased by a whopping 50%.
"It must have been at the middle stage of the mutation realm."
He quickly disposed of the corpse and took off. His destination was the lake located in the North.
He swiftly arrived at the lake within minutes of flying.
He could see many animals on the shoreline. However, his objective was to explore. So, he paid them no heed.
Grim flew toward the center to investigate the light golden aura.
He witnessed the aura coming from the depth after turning up at his destination.
He took off to an altitude of 3 km (10000 ft) and dove.
It took him 2 minutes to reach the depth of 1000 m. The pressure at the depth was 100 times more than on land. But, it was nothing for him.
His body had been remolded after the breakthrough. So, it was enough to withstand such pressure.
He dove even further. The pressure increased 1-fold every ten meters.
The light source got more cloudless as he dove further.
Finally, after diving to a depth of 5000 meters, he was able to get a close look. It was a gold color jade, and it was giving off a strong light.
At that depth, the pressure was 500 times more than on land. He could hear a small cracking noise produced by his bone. He had to act quickly.
He swam towards the jade. However, a strange phenomenon happened when he reached 100 m of jade.
Everything avoided going within 100 m of the jade. It felt like a dead zone. It was giving off a strong feeling of repulsion.
The pressure increased every moment. He could hear the cracking noise getting bigger. So, he decided to ignore the repulsive feeling and swam forward.
When he had entered the range of 50 m, even his instincts were screaming to turn back. But, he had come too far to turn back, and he didn't want to go back empty.
He was adamant about his decision and pressed on slowly.
He was shivering by the time he was within a meter of the jade. Even his consciousness was starting to become hazy.
Time was of the essence. So, he quickly grabbed the jade and swam up.
