Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: Lurkers

"Nature's machine gun!"

He revealed himself from the file of stones he was hiding on and blasted a barrage of Nature's blessing.

The pack of Cave wolves which was in the river to drink was caught off guard. A powerful thunder magic electrocuted them and the water on the river enhanced the skill's power output which instantly eliminated more than half of the members of their pack.

Without a decent ability to fight back, the Cave wolves got easily took out one after another. Their boasted mobility and coordination were proven ineffective against a far more powerful enemy who excelled in long-range warfare and at the same time being unreachable due to his ability to float.

Some tried to run, but the only path of escape was to pass through their enemy. All they could do was to watch as the enemy slaughtered them one by one.

It took a few seconds before the chaotic barrage of magic stopped and all the corpses of 20 Cave wolves drifted to the water, none was given a chance to flee.

"That was the 3rd pack since I came here. I think the experience points that the Cave wolves giving me are no longer sufficient."

"One level in one day of killing Cave wolves? Something is telling me the next two levels before evolving is one hell of a pain to get."

He turned his gaze to the Leather skinned frog and Iron skinned frog currently devouring the corpses of Cave wolves he just killed. The river flow brought the corpses to their location.

"Level 9 Nature's blessing! Time to break something!"

Some of them were keeping their eyes on him, there was always one that observing him while the other ones were occupied.

Ever since he came here, none of the frogs even dared to approach him. They were just watching while keeping their distance from him.

"What you looking at?"

He cast Nature's blessing and a ball of water blasted towards them, but none of them even tried to fight back.

"The last time I encountered one of their species, the bastard literally swallowed me whole without a second thought. Now, they are just watching and waiting for me to do the killing for them so they can have an eat-all-you-can buffet."

He flew towards the direction of the Leather and Iron skinned frogs.

"Guide lady, how many of them are in there? What are their levels?"

[Leather skinned frog.]

[Quantity 17.]

[Individual level ranging from level 1 to 9.]

[Iron skinned frog.]

[Quantity 5.]

[Individual level ranging from level 1 to 5.]

[Mithril Skinned frog level 8.]

He immediately stopped his crossing towards them.

"Ha? What the hell is that? Why you didn't tell me much sooner? Do you really want to see me dead?"

[The entity Mithril skinned frog was newly detected just now.]

[The hidden skill Traveler's guide is only relying on traveler's vision to detect the surroundings. Detection will only occur once the traveler has the vision on the subject.]

"Ah, my bad, my bad."

He unleashed a fake cough."So where is that Mithril skinned frog, then? I can't see it? You are implying that I already saw it, but where? I don't want to get jumped on by a weirdly named frog out of nowhere."

He flew away from the river.

"Guide lady?"

"Oy?"

"Guide lady, what is magic resistance?"

[Magic resistance.]

[A skill that will reduce the damage taken from magic attributed attacks. The effect varies depending on the skill level.]

"Thank you very much, you really are useful."

A few moments of silence came to pass.

"Did I lose some screw in my head? I'm talking to my own skill as if she's a real person due to my crippling loneliness. I'm starting to get concerned about my mental health."

He flew towards the small entrance.

"Back to Cave wolves again, then."

Out of a sudden, a weak hissing sound resonated throughout the area. He wandered his gaze around the place and the sound brought him to a hidden hole at the very edge of the cave.

A red light peeked from the dark hole and directly gazed at him. For a few seconds they had a staring battle, but the moment the red eyes started to move, his body instantly trembled and moved away.

[Lesser black boa level 9.]

"My danger sense tingling again!"

The 2 meters long Lesser black boa emerged from the dark hole and locked the Small lesser nature spirit as its target.

The main reason why the Leather skinned and Iron skinned frogs were not even tempting to step on this side of the river.

The Lesser black boa woke up after slumbering for few days, the gigantic snake was certainly hungry, but what greeted it was an empty riverside with nothing to eat.

Thanks to the Lesser black boa's keen senses, it instantly recognized the cause of what was going on. Unlike the inappropriately proud Cave wolves, the Lesser black boa could recognize a threat if ever seen one, no matter how small or weak it seemed.

The Lesser black boa extended its tongue and rushed towards its target.

"Why always the long ones?"

He flew higher so the Lesser black boa could not reach him and fired multiple attacks.

Even with its enormous body the Lesser black boa swiftly evaded the attacks while crawling towards his direction.

"As long as I maintain my distance from him I don't think it would reach me."

However, something unprecedented happened, a rushing ball of liquid struck him and immediately pinned him to the wall. The acid immediately attacked his body and a considerable amount of steam was coming out of his body.

"What happened?"

The Leather and Iron skinned frogs were already there and firing numerous acid liquids towards him.

"That's what I get after feeding you? You ungrateful bastards!"

He cast Nature's blessing, a strong wind had materialized and pushed him out of the wall.

"I see, so you're gonna gang up on me, huh! How nice of you."
