''Where the hell did all the beasts from the forest go'' Rudra was frustrated as he searched entire outskirt of the forest but he did not a single living thing in the forest he was bewildered by the sudden change in he forest, previously whenever he go out for hunt he always find the beasts and because of his lack of his lack of strength he has to extremely careful around the forest but now when he had the strength to completely roam around in the outskirt and looking forward to a strong demonic beast to test his newfound strength, ironically he did not found anything this was simply a joke.
What Rudra did not know that when His power was awakened the pressure released by his body had completely terrified the nearby beasts.
With a disappointing hunt he chose to return his cave at that time sun was completely set and forest completely silent and dark . " I guess I can only try to enter outer layer of forest tomorrow if I want hunt something '' , after much thought Rudra decided to enter outer part of desolate forest which is extremely dangerous for him with his current strength but he had to take risk for his food. After putting forest matters aside he had not eaten anything in last 2 days because of his cultivation and he was extremely hungry so he started to eat his last remaining ration which he hunted over the past week.
After eating he stared practicing his spear technique after only practicing for while he decided to stop and rest.
Next day early morning Rudra woke up after after doing some morning exercise he directly left for the the outer layer of the forest from outskirts. The desolate forest was divided into three part the most dangerous and terrifying core region where the strongest beasts of the forest resides, the inner region of the forest and it was also extremely dangerous even the extremely strong elder fin of the lee family could freely go there and then the least dangerous outer region. Due to desolate forest being to big the each region covers hundreds of miles. With Rudra current strength he can only enter outermost region of outer region even it was extremely dangerous .
After walking for few miles Rudra reached his destination but to his shock he did not encounter single beast in his journey , ' what the hell did happen in the forest while i was cultivating in cave'' , where the beasts of the forest go did something big happened while i was in trance like cultivating state. these were his thoughts.
After hours of desperate search Rudra was able to find his first beast in the outer region which was blood demon ape. whose strength was comparable to 8 rank body refining expert .Although strength wise the ape was weaker but Rudra not has much experience in fighting so the ape with ferocity could be best for honing his experience . It was an giant red color ape whose specialty was closed ranged attacks .
After seeing Rudra the ape was also excited clearly the sudden decrement of beasts in the forest has also affected it.
