Rumble rumble…
The thunderous sounds of hooves rang out across the grassy plains.
Elephorses of differing colors were chasing an figure like a swarm of hornets whose nest was shaken, galloping all over the plains.
That figure, however, was a particularly human with a katana in hand.
Usually, there would only be human chasing horses. At this moment, however, the two had their roles switched, turning the situation into a group of Elephorses chasing relentlessly, while the human could only run for its life.
"I freaking knew it, it's impossible for me to use Goro Goro no Mi powder to be inexhaustible. It only knocked out about twenty Elephorses before it ran out. How useless!"
With so many Elephorses stampeding behind him, if by chance his feet slipped, he could be directly used as filling for dumplings.
From the moment it began, this Elephorse-hunting operation had not adhered to Zhang Ye's script at all.
Initially, Zhang Ye didn't intend on using his ultimate killer technique, the Breath of Thunder Style,Sixth Style: Electric Lightning Shower (Roku no kata: Dengou raigou)
After all, this technique affects only an area in a sixty-degree cone,reached only ninety meters out, and had a cooldown of twenty minutes. Before reaching a situation that gave the best returns, Zhang Ye would never use it.
Thus, after he charged into the highland plains, he will use(Roku no kata: Dengou raigou) and knocked out, wanting to harvest a bunch of them before deciding on his next course of action.
Alas, he never expected that the Goro Goro no Mi powder to be exhaustible would actually be so useless and he dont want to use stamina pill because it is waste to use it here.
Less than half of the herd of Elephorses that gathered from all directions were put down by the poison powder before they came stampeding over with an overbearing presence, leaving him unable to resist at all.
Helpless, Zhang Ye could only can only shake his head add, run away ifast. One reason was to avoid the charge of the Elephorses, while the other was to also attract more of them, allowing him to find an opportunity to herd as many of them into the effective area of the Mera Mera no Mi attack as possible
Zhang Ye's start to form his tragedy.
Of course, it wasn't like there weren't any gains from this experience. At the very least, Zhang Ye clearly understood now that the Elephorses were indeed abnormally united. The initial herd of Elephorses kept crying out, and thunderous hoofbeats started rumbling in from all directions.
Thus, the current situation at hand happened; over three hundred Elephorses were stampeding, shaking the lands and mountains!
He wave his hand and use chain lightning!
Less than half of the herd of Elephorses that gathered from all directions were put down by the Goro Goro no Mi effect (paralyzed) before they came stampeding over with an overbearing presence, leaving him unable to resist at all.
Thus, the current situation at hand happened; over three hundred Elephorses were stampeding, shaking the lands and mountains!
Seeing the herd of Elephorses behind him getting increasingly condensed, Zhang Ye gradually revealed a gleeful smile.
He use God Speed (Shinsoku) form Breath of Thunder Style to improve his movement
Once he use the skill he was originally running several dozens of meters ahead of the herd suddenly accelerated, like a speeding car that had been fitted with a rocket engine, doubling its speed!
In just a few breaths' time, he was apart by over a hundred meters.
Once the distance was increased, Zhang Ye suddenly slid to a stop.
He ready his katana with a smile, facing the herd of Elephorses that was approaching like a tidal wave, without any hint of fear on his face.
The distance between them quickly shrank. A hundred meters, ninety, eighty…
Twenty meters!
Zhang Ye's pupils shrank slightly. The skill activate [Fourth Style: Distant Thunder](Shi no kata: Enrai) - The user releases multiple ranged strikes towards a target.
It was like the galloping Elephorses ran into an invisible wall. Trails of blood burst out from all seven of their orifices, their limbs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
He use Eight Fold (Hachiren)< Dashes eight times within one use of this technique.> he dash in midle of the herd.
Second Style: Water Wheel (Ni no kata: Mizu guruma)< Jumps and spins his body while slashing>
Fourth Style: Striking Tide (Shi no kata: Uchishio)
Third Style: Buzzing Mosquito Thunder (San no kata: Shiubun seirai)
Countless amounts of grass and mud splashed in all directions. Over half of the Elephorses were caught within Zhang Ye's attack area of effect and fell over like dominoes. The fraction of Elephorses who weren't in the attack's range couldn't stop their charge in time either, and slammed into their companions ahead, falling one after another.
In just the short span of three seconds, not a single Elephorse was still standing!
"Now, we'll harvest them as we like!"
Zhang Ye replacing the sword in the scabbard.
Zhang Ye start punhcing Elephorses that were knocked down by the skill wave attack. After being struck by that, they were already on the verge of dying. They didn't have to end their misery immediately.
The remaining thirty or so Elephorses, on the other hand, were currently impeded by their fellows, unable to bring out their speedy advantage at all. Facing Zhang Ye, who was armed with a sharp blade, they couldn't muster much of a resistance and were killed right then and there.
Zhang Ye finally experienced the exhilarating feeling of massacre. Every time he swung the [shusui] katana in his hand, an Elephorse would either die or be hurt. His killing rate was even higher.
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Martial Arts pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Weapon pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Stamina Pill's pieces!"
"Congratulations, get one Haki pieces!"
...
The same notification rang out five more times in Zhang Ye's mind. He obtained another five random piece.
Could it be that the drop rates are actually that low? Or is it that I'm just so unlucky that a thick odor is oozing out of me?
Pa-pa-pa!
The last Elephorses was crushed by the him in the end, as well. Its crushed body turned into a streak of light.
"Congratulations, the Stamina Pill have been assembled, do you want to synthetic?"
"Congratulations, the Martial Art have been assembled, do you want to synthetic?"
"Congratulations, the Weapon piece have been assembled, do you want to synthetic?"
"Synthesis!"
The pieces of the were thrown into the giant furnace. …As the colorful progress bar ran fast, three seconds later.

------------------------------------------
"Hahahaha, this time a huge windfall!"
Looking at the bag full of Stamina pill , sword art scroll ,storage ring ,pet bag and pet crest, Zhang Ye's smile was so wide that his eyes were nearly concealed.
Following that was the time to reap their harvest!
Zhang Ye ran back and forth with a gleeful smile on his face, using both his hands to pick up the monster core on the ground.
Fortunately, the monster core emitted a certain glow. Otherwise, Zhang Ye really couldn't guarantee that he didn't leave any behind.
"Hahahaha, A huge windfall, a really huge windfall going to be rich."
Looking at the bag full of monster core before him, Zhang Ye's smile was so wide.
A total of sixty-two monster core; this was the result Zhang Ye got after counting them three times!
According to what Wang Dong had said, an Elephorse monster core was worth a little over 300k. With his gains this time around, he would earn eighteen million, at the very least!
What a terrifying amount this was!
=====

Type: Mount Type
Characteristics: Strong Explosive Strength, Good for Long Distance Travel, Able to Traverse 500 km per Day
Weakness: Poison Attacks
Item Use: Can help summon corresponding monster can only use by summon element mage.
=====
"As expected, Elephorses are really mount-type beasts. No wonder their attributes are so bad, yet they can still sell for more than what a similar-levelled bronze-quality beast. Wasn't this exactly like the saying, scarcity breeds value?"
However, despite their rarity, Zhang Ye definitely couldn't let go of all sixty-odd Elephorse monster core at one go, or their prices would suffer more than just a minor setback. It truly wasn't worth it.
Moreover, although Elephorses were weak, this kind of beast was unusually united. It was fine if he was able to pick off a few of them and obtain a one monster core or two, but if he were to say that he killed off a herd at one go, that would shock anyone who heard the news.
With several hundred Elephorses stampeding, even level 5 warrior could do nothing but run. How could a low level mage like him kill them all?
"It seems like I can only let them go slowly. I don't need that sum right away, anyway. No hurry."
"If my feeling is right, I only need to kill around two hundred more two-star exotic beasts to successfully gain more stamina pill so taht i can train my devil fruit and advance into a level 4 Magician"
Continuously use of the devil fruit improves the stamina and devil fruit ability stamina pill can make the training faster by replenish the stamina that have been already use.
Zhang Ye can't still master the Mera Mera no Mi and Goro Goro no Mi ,he need to learn Double Casting Spell so that he can be official promote in level 4 Magician.
Goro Goro no Mi can help him to tempered his body to fullest by leting electric current flow all over his body.
The only skill he can use right now is Fire Ball and light beam as for sword skill he was level 5 with the skill he have except he dont have sword aura.
...
In this battle that had annihilated the entire Elephorse herd, Zhang Ye's spoils weren't just those sixty-some monster core. The three hundred-plus Elephorses also contributed a huge amount of item pieces for him, closing a huge chunk of his journey towards a level 4 magician.
This story would shock anyone who heard it.
