As Fei was pondering over what to do, his sight suddenly attracted towards the map which was given to him by Alga.
This was not any simple map, this map included possible beast territories as well as possible hunting grounds for different beasts.as well as plants.
This map also showed his location in real time, just like a GPS system.
But due to him being engrossed inside the map he forgot the sense of direction.
"Sigh… at least she gave me something useful.." Fei murmured to himself.
As he was thinking about what to do next, he found himself in front of a large grassland. He looked around and found out that this grassfield stretched across his whole vision and was filled with knee high length Elephant Grass.
He checked his map and sure enough he reached the area adjacent to the forest.
He has to make a decision here, whether to stay inside the jungle or to move along the grassland.
First option was dangerous but also the safest, because there are many hiding spots inside the jungle. But on grassland though it looked safest to travel through but there was nowhere to hide once you were spotted.
"Let's test the waters first…." as he said that he got close to the grassland.
As he got within range of his Botanical Communication, he found out that he was unable to communicate with the grass in front of him.
This has never happened to him before. So curiously he got close to the grass to touch and inspect the grass. Grass Blades which were swinging with wind suddenly changed directions.
Feeling something was wrong, he tried to get away from the grass as soon as possible, but it was too late.
The grass blades shot up and took hold of his hand. As fei tried to struggle, more and more grass blades started to rush towards him. Making him unable to get away.
As he was getting closer and closer to the grass. Fei panicked a bit. But during this struggle he discovered that the strength exerted by each blade is low enough that he can easily break those blades of grass individually. But once packed together it is very hard for him to break those blades of grass
'I need to get away fast before it is too late' as his thoughts went this way he saw more and more blades of grass coming his way.
Fei panicked, and tried to throw away whatever around him towards those blades of grass. Soon he discovered that those blades of grass are dragging in whatever Fei throws at them. Sure enough those blades of grass are of too low intelligence.
Fei got an idea and he tried to distract the grass with pebbles around him. At the same time he removes those blades of grass wrapped around him.
After some intense struggle, Fei finally gets away from the grass.
"Whew… that was tiring..." Fei felt really tired after this sudden incident.
You have to understand that as a druid their physical strengths are too low. So feeling tired, Fei steps into the forest.
'I need to rest first….'
As Fei tried to communicate with plants in the jungle…. To his joy he was able to establish a connection between him and the surrounding plants.
After his successful attempt at forming a connection Fei felt like he was at home.
'Let's rest for a bit'
Thinking this Fei climbed a nearby tree for rest. Surely enough as soon as he tried to relax, he subconsciously fell asleep.
During midnight, Fei sensed danger warning from nearby plants. He immediately got up and looked around. Sure enough a 3-4 meter long snake was just 1 meter away from him.
"Gulp..!"
as Fei gulped down and get away from his original position and looked back he discovered that the snake was nowhere to be found.
He used his plant sensors to locate the snake while running, but it was useless …
Though he couldn't sense the position of the snake, the dangerous feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
At this time seeing that running is of no use, Fei suddenly stopped and looked back. Sure enough the snake was right behind him all along. The snake was a little disappointed after seeing Fei stop.
"Lets see who dies first..." says Fei as the started chanting his spell.
"$#%$!@#$$%&@...."
As soon as he starts chanting, plants around him respond to his call and starts attacking the snake.
But to Fei's horror those plants can't even touch the tail of the snake. With no option left, Fei narrowly dodges the attack from the snake. and starts chanting a different chant.
"O Great Spirit Of Forest…. Listen To This Humble One's prayer and bestow your Blessings...$%&@$%&@....."
With a pale face Fei completed his chant.
As soon as the chant finished cold winds started flowing throughout the forest. A green glow surfaced and a lot of vines shot up towards the snake…. Totally restraining the snake.
"Sigh~....!"
With a sigh Fei calmed himself down. And took nearby rock as he approached the snake. After 4-5 strikes from Fei the snake finally took his last breath.
As soon as the snake died, Fei discovered that there is a light coming out of the snake's dead body. This light then got absorbed into Fei's body automatically.
After absorbing the light, Fei found out that he felt refreshed, and his fatigue from the last spell is gone too.
Fei inspected his body and to his surprise he felt much stronger than before. His sensory organs have become stronger too.
"So hunting gives a boost to my abilities…." this opened up a new world with infinite possibilities to Fei
