Gin experienced dozens of life and death situations in the past month. It made him realized that he was at the bottom of the food chain in this forest. Even though he had the ghoul with him, he still wouldn't be able to fight the predators in this place.
That's why he wanted to find a village or city. He wanted to interact with other humans like him. He was going insane at this rate.
He already missed his friends and his fiancee back on earth. He wanted to see their face so much.
Gin left his territory to find the exit of this forest and if he was lucky he would find a city or village. He brought the ghoul with him as this was stronger than the skeleton. He was at the rank of level 1 mutant so it possessed some power.
The skeleton was left in his territory inside the [Flesh Tree]. It took two weeks before the [Flesh Tree] became usable. At first, it was just a small sprout but it kept growing every day until his units could fit inside its hole near the roots... but he knew that the [Flesh Tree] didn't reach its adult form. The tree kept growing without stopping. At this rate, the tree would reach the height of fifteen meters next month.
This was the first time he will try to go further away from his territory. He estimated that this expedition will take him two days or more.
By the time he came back, he hoped that the skeleton would grow stronger.
Gin walked forward with a cautious expression. The forest was dangerous so it's better if he was cautious. The level 1 ghoul behind him couldn't give him a sense of safety.
The trees around him were more than twenty meters tall. The leaves were dense and thick that it blocked the sun rays. So the place was quite dark even if it's morning.
Night came and Gin decided to rest for a few hours. He couldn't find a cave so he was going to rest here in the middle of the forest while the ghoul was guarding him. The ghoul didn't need to sleep.
Before he rest, he hunted a level 0 edible monster and cooked it.
After resting for three hours, Gin woke up as the ghoul sent him a danger signal in his mind. It means that a level 1 and above monster have appeared.
He quickly left the area with ghoul. He wanted to avoid fighting as long as possible. There's no benefit in fighting someone and they will only drain their strength.
Once he found a place to rest, he closed his eyes and sleep quickly. The unknown monster from before disturbed his sleep and three hours of resting weren't enough for him.
After having enough sleep, Gin continued his journey. This was the first time that he slept in a place that wasn't part of his territory. He could sense that he was far away from his territory. From his estimation, the distance was seven kilometers.
Two days had passed and Gin managed to find the corner of the forest. Three days of walking before he found the exit.
He met all sorts of monster which didn't exist in Hunter's Association's Record of Monster. He even met a level 3 monster fighting another level 3 monster. Although the body of a level 3 monster was valuable he didn't try to wait for them to kill each other.
He knew the limit of his strength and he doesn't want to die. An injured level 3 monster could easily kill a level 1 human much less him, a level 0 human. So he just left those two powerful monsters kill each other.
Yesterday, a level 2 monster chased them. They were lucky that they survive but the ghoul lost an arm in that incident. It greatly decreased the fighting strength of the ghoul.
The [Poison Touch] ability of ghoul couldn't kill that level of that monster. It worked after one hour and it only managed to slow down the monster. That's the reason why they managed to survive the attack of a level 2 monster. If the poison didn't weaken the monster, then they would have died.
"Finally, the exit...!!" Gin smiled as he raised both of his hands in the air. He couldn't hide his excitement as he saw a village quite far from his position.
"It all thanks to you, ghoul."
He looked at the ghoul and patted his back.
The ghoul glanced at him and tilted his head with a confused expression.
Gin took out a fruit from his pocket and gave it to the ghoul.
"Here. A fruit from flesh tree."
The ghoul received it and quickly swallowed the fruit. His instinct was telling him that this was beneficial to his body even though he didn't have any idea what's this fruit.
"You really like this fruit. It will generate your arm after you ate more fruits." Gin smiled. This was one of the benefits of the flesh fruit. It could regenerate the lost limbs of undead creatures.
Although he had undead attributes, this fruit wouldn't work at him. He was a human after all. He wasn't undead.
He then took out the last fruit that he had and ate it. This fruit was still better than mana enhancing potion.
"Hmm...?"
Gin squinted his eyes as he saw a group of people wearing silver-colored armor came out of the village.
From their posture, he could guess that they were trained knights.
"A military movement..."
He could also see some people were carrying injured knights in the village. It seems that they were fighting something.
Gin asked the ghoul to hide in the forest. He didn't know if those people think about undead. He then strode towards the village.
The village was large. It has its own army and from what he could see, it seems large. He could estimate that this village had a population of more than ten thousand people judging from the size.
After ten minutes of walking, he arrived near the village. He observed the surrounding before he strode towards the gate.
The two guards looked at him and said something.
"Eh...?" Gin realized that he was really in another world. It was impossible for another world to have the same language as him. It was especially if the two worlds didn't have a connection to each other.
He came from Japan, a country from earth. Also, the people from earth haven't met otherworlder. He couldn't possibly know the language of other worlds.
The guards pointed their spear at him. They were saying something in a loud voice that he couldn't understand.
'What should I do? I don't have a way to communicate to them.' Gin looked around at his surrounding. He saw a stick and an idea came to his mind.
Before he could walk towards the stick, the two guards grabbed his hands.
"What the...! Hey, let me explain myself!!" Gin said as he looked at the two guards but the guards didn't understand his words.
