This was Rudra's first night after being exiled from the lee family. Although he was starving he was cold but there was a sense of relief in his heart he was happy because he was free although he spend most of his life in lee family but there was not a single ounce of love in his heart for lee family but only disgust because he was not treated as a human being there but as some guinea pig for research . nobody wants live like that it was same for him now finally he was free even though he may die in the next moment but he was happy.
Next day he wake up early in morning the sky was slowly getting brighter and sun hidden below the horizon had not risen yet standing up, Rudra stretched his arms and looked up at the sky estimating that it's likely around 5am. His body was extremely sore and tired his stomach was groaning from hunger hasn't eaten from yesterday morning today he has to hunt something otherwise he may die of exhaustion which would be quite iconic.
He went up to the small stream to checkout the traps he set up unfortunately the traps were empty. he was disappointed but there's nothing he could do, now he can only drink some water and quench his thirst.
"I have to find something to eat . He knew even if he choose to go in search of town he don't have any money and with his looks there no need to ask anything he directly will be beaten to death by local people. Guess I'll head a little deeper in the forest.
Rudra entered the deeper part of the forest after walking for an hour. He searched for a while keeping an eye out for danger. Finally the first prey he found was a big wood lizard which was sunbathing on a rock. Rudra knew the beasts are divided into 3 types, the wild beasts, demon beasts and spirit beasts. The wild beasts were normal animals just like mortal without cultivation and demon beast were beast who can cultivate just like cultivators and he did know much about spirit beasts . Luckily the lizard was only a wild beast and not a demon beast the lizard was dark green in color and had one big tail . while the lizard was slow its defense was good. Rudra's plan was to attack the lizard on the neck with a sharp stone he slowly moved toward lizard back while carrying a sharp stone he jumped on lizard back and stabbed it behind its neck but rock was not as sharp as excepted it only made a small wound on its neck. lizard was angered by Rudra actions it swung its tail rapidly at him which hit Rudra's shoulder it was nearly dislocated but he luckily moved backward in time so it was only grazed little bit . Rudra looked at the lizard and took a deep breath and he took L-stance then he jumped and punched the lizard with his bone shattering fist on it head and the beast was dead because Rudra fist broke it skull.
Although bone shattering fist was only a lowest level martial technique but Rudra had learned this technique to its core which was enough for him to deal with a wild beast with no cultivation.
