Elsewhere near the cliffs, in a three-meter-diameter cave with a depth no one knows no matter how much he is looking at it, Yoon Hwa was looking for a hunting target in this vast rainforest? After inspecting the cave and its surroundings and from the marks on the ground. The inhabitant of this place was probably a snake exceeding fifteen meters long and a diameter of almost eighty centimeters. How do you know that? It was easy after seeing these traces, there are no growing grasses in the surrounding area and this puts them between two possibilities: either a huge crowd or one creature of very large size. There were no footprints in the area, but there were wavy lines to and from the cave, it is probably a snake and knowing its size is to estimate this from the size of the traces it leaves after crawling.

"Something big is equal to strong and equals better training."

That was what she thought and stroked her fists against each other. Yoon-Hwa quickly forgot warnings after she glimpsed a powerful opponent, sometimes putting her in a situation of imminent danger.

'Now how am I going to find this snake? Should I look around or try to trace it? '

She began to follow the newest traces left by the snake without getting too far from the location of the cave. The trees were getting denser and more and the traces of the snake completely disappeared after a certain limit.

"Nothing of this magnitude can disappear without a trace. Is it possible that he is able to climb trees with this size? Let's go back to the cave and keep that in mind."

She returned to the cave with her hands behind her head in a position with relaxed defenses. It is the perfect shape of a prey, it could appear anytime now. There was a sound of branches breaking but Yoon Hwa pretended to be stupid. The snake took the opportunity and swooped down from the top of one of the trees. With a quick blitzkrieg, the snake opened its mouth and closed it very quickly. Yoon Hwa had been devoured or so the snake thought. At the moment of his pounce, she retreated two steps to avoid the bite and met his throat and stomach, targeted his throat with a mana-reinforced grip and followed with several punches targeting his stomach and vertebrae.

The damage was visible but limited to some extent due to the hardness and elasticity of the scales at the same time, with a hardness equal to steel and elasticity like leather it is difficult to assess the extent of the damage due to the absence of external scars. The snake, which became angry, turned with bloody red eyes with a disgusting killing intention, Yoon Hwa was not affected by his aura, after what everyone was exposed to this morning; such a trivial thing would not affect them. Yoon Hwa realized that killing it was not easy. She had one option and that was to outperform him in speed and target one point repeatedly. She targeted the center his forehead exactly between his eyes, the place seemed a little fragile compared to other points protected by his scales.

'Huff, huff, and finally wiped out this snake. My hand hurts badly; at least several bones have been broken. I'll try to cure it with regeneration by pumping mana and recycling it.'

As soon as her words were there, the snake's carcass exploded as if it were a previously prepared mine. It was an explosion similar to the one that happened to Mira. Seeing nothing like this, Yoon Hwa tried to fend off the explosion with her arms, resulting in burns of varying severity. The mana pumped into her affected arms and legs and set off as fast as she could, away from the scene of the explosion and applied the stealth technique, but it was not perfect, as the severe pain hindered her concentration. Nevertheless, it worked out enough.

'Damn it, why did the teacher arrive particularly at the critical moment? Is it possible that he was watching from afar?'

Many thoughts swept through her head, but the pain made thinking harder, and after moving away for hundreds of meters and reaching a place that seemed safe, she began to focus on healing her injuries, which would take some time to recover.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

After running for several minutes, Tai Min and Eric came across and agreed to cooperate to take down a good enemy to gain the teacher's favor. They found nothing to satisfy their ambition, and after searching for an hour, they found a very wide swamp and an enormous crocodile that stayed there on the surface of the muddy water, what he was doing was not clear, he might be asleep or trolling a prey stupid enough to approach it. Among the rainforest-dwelling creatures, the stone crocodile was the largest predator and the strongest one that people of their level could try to cooperate against. Attacking such a crocodile under the fourth star/circle is simply suicide, but the boys were different from normal humans. The disadvantage of this killer crocodile is to relax its defenses outside of fights, as it considers itself the king of the region, he thought that no one would dare to attack him or encroach on his property. The boys did not have this information but planned how to bring him down. The plan required four steps: Eric hits one eye with an arrow, Tai Min lures him away from Eric and attacks him from his blind side in the neck, Eric hits the second eye and the crocodile loses his vision completely, Tai Min gradually destroys him while being careful not to let it go frenzy or exploit his other senses to kill.

The plan was simple but well-rounded, its success was almost guaranteed if no variables were created to spoil it.

"Focus the mana in the arrowhead; make it more powerful and sharper. I shouldn't miss the shot."

Eric's eye glowed pale gold as he shot the arrow. At a distance of forty meters, the arrow went like a bullet, hit the left eye of the crocodile, and began to bleed, but soon the bleeding stopped, the monster had a rapid regeneration, but the arrow that is stuck in his eye prevented its recovery. Tai Min set out to perform his part of the plan and this required luring the crocodile away from Eric but there was a problem. The crocodile saw with his right eye their respective weapons and realized that it was Eric who shot him and rushed sweeping the trees in his way without regard to Tai Min, who was trying hard to get the crocodile's attention. Tai Min then succeeded in attracting the attention of the crocodile but quickly turned around and broke several trees with his hard and armored tail. Eric did not expect this so did not have time to avoid the tree that was flying towards him. He quickly reinforced his body with mana in a desperate attempt, but the damage was still great and he was hit by another tree and apparently fell unconscious. Tai Min, shocked by the horror of what he saw, hurried to keep the crocodile away from his unconscious friend, hoping that he would wake up quickly and help him eliminate this huge monster. Minutes and minutes passed, seemingly hours for Tai Min, who struggled with the crocodile to protect his companion who is busy maintaining consciousness and treating his serious injuries. Tai Min, who saw no glimmer of hope amid all this, marveled at something hitting the crocodile in his head.

'It's an arrow!! You're all right, Eric.'

He turned to the side from which the arrow was fired and saw Eric barely standing on his feet and smiling a weary smile with his cute bloodied face. Eric fell in place after hitting the crocodile's second eye that completely lost his sight. He fulfilled his part of the mission and no longer needed for the rest and Tai Min continued to fight to eliminate this dreaded monster.

'My turn is over, it's your turn now to shine, buddy.'

Eric pointed to Tai Min, who was somewhat surprised by what had happened, leaned on the tree and proceeded to complete the treatment of his injuries...

With countless blows from the halo-covered spear to the crocodile's neck and sides of his abdomen, the crocodile that lost so much blood fell dead after devastating the entire surrounding area. Tai Min has exhausted all the mana in his body and even walking has become a difficult task; he moved towards Eric who began to recover from his previous injury and sat next to him while treating his injuries as well.

They achieved a victory that they deserve to celebrate but the conditions were not favorable so the two of them just clenched their fists in joy at their victory over this formidable enemy.

Aliana pumped magic into her feet and used her wind spirit to get away from the starting site to avoid the chasing of the teacher, but it was a huge mistake as she moved away much more than she should do compared to others. She already left the area that the teacher expected they would not leave a while ago without knowing; she was not able to determine the range that the teacher set because he did not tell them any of this. The risk is very high in other areas and among those areas she entered, she had entered the area of the notorious monster 'Basillesque', he was not just an ordinary monster. With a head like a snake, a crocodile-like body and scales like a dragon, he possessed an invincible defense and a deadly poison.

Aliana, who did not know what was happening, trembled after hearing the Basillesque and set off at full speed to return to where she came from in a desperate attempt to survive...
