The young man looked at the sky and around him and then thought to himself, "It is already beginning to dawn and I don't know how long it will take until the sun rises, but it is a long time… so I will replenish my dantian with qi first and learn the fighting technique in the book, then I will come down the mountain to explore and wander around for a bit..."
Saying so, the young man returned to sitting cross-legged to refill his dantian…
…
Later, after the young man had finished filling half of his dantian, he opened his eyes and found that the sun had already risen and the day had begun... but he did not go out and took the book to browse the recorded fighting techniques...
There are 4 registered combat techniques..
A hand-to-hand combat technique is called the stiff fist technique.. a basic technique for using the sword is called the phantom sword technique.. a movement and escape technique called the Ghost Steps and a defensive technique called the steel defense...
…
It took the young man dozens of hours to practice all of them and understand their basics so that he could use their initial appearance..
Then after that, he stretched out a little, then the young man sat cross-legged again in order to get rid of the fatigue of practicing it.. As soon as he rested and woke up, the sun reached the middle of the sky...
Then the young man got up, and after stretching his body a little, he tied the bag tightly around his waist and hid it under his sports jacket. Then he took the sword in his hand and headed out of the cave... while he spoke a few words with a wide smile on his face and firm, hungry eyes.
"Now it's time to play hehehe"
....
After descending from the mountain and looking around at the giant trees, the young man looked majestic with the view...
He looked around a little to study any traces in the area in order to move accordingly...
The young man continued to wander around him at a small distance, observing everything around him.
After some time he found footprints...
"The footprints of the claws look like the footprints of a type of canid, but they are a little larger compared to the footprints I know... Well, I have to stop looking at them as animals, as all the creatures in this world seem to be just ferocious beasts..
"
Saying so, the young man raised his head and began walking towards the footprints, holding the sword in one hand with a slightly lowered position...
Following the footprints, the young man changed his path several times, making sure he knew the direction back to the cave...
After walking for some time, the young man began to smell a strange odor in the air, so he stopped
"The smell of blood..."
Saying that, the young man began to look around and observe his surroundings carefully.. He continued like this for a few minutes.. Then the young man calmed his breathing, lowered his posture, and continued walking cautiously, following the footprints...
After a few minutes of walking, the young man began to hear an intermittent growling sound from afar, as the smell of blood intensified...
"This is the sound of a predator eating its prey...wonderful. It seems I have found my first target."
Saying that, the young man's steps slowed down and he lowered his posture further while trying to reduce his breathing rate to the maximum...
After walking for dozens of metres...the young man noticed his target...then he moved slightly to the side to leave a tree between him and his target to cover him and he continued walking very slowly...
After arriving behind the tree, the young man took his head out and looked at the target...
In the distance, twenty meters away from him...the young man can finally see the target clearly...as he can see a gray wolf two meters high lowering himself to eat the carcass of a monster twice his size...
Looking at the wolf in front of him, the young man was astonished, especially with the presence of that corpse. He could not identify which beast it belonged to...
"Oh my God, what a huge wolf...seeing it in reality and reading its description in the book is completely different...
The Silver Fang is one of the most skilled beasts in hunting. According to the book's description, it has long, very sharp fangs that are distinguished by their silver color. Although one must be careful of its sharp claws and its agility despite its size, what distinguishes it most are its fangs, which require only one small bite to dig up a piece. Meat from its prey. ...And finally, his extreme caution while hunting and fighting... He hides himself well and calmly waits for his opportunity... Although they are social animals, they often prefer to hunt alone, especially during the day... What a good target."
After remembering the booklet's description of the wolf in front of him... the young man's smile grew greatly
"Hehehe, it's time to go fishing..."
"At this distance, it will be difficult to assassinate him, but that is not what I am seeking... However, he is already stronger than me and is one of the dominant and absolute monsters among the monsters of the first level...
So …"
By talking to himself up to this point, the young man lowered his body and bent his legs while holding the sword tightly in his right hand and placing the other on the ground. At this point, the young man tightened his leg muscles strongly... and spoke to himself quickly.
"I'll get a critical hit first hehehe..."
Then suddenly he quickly ran towards the wolf...
As for the wolf that was eating its prey, it was very careful of its surroundings. Although it did not notice the young man when he reached the tree, as soon as the young man moved, the wolf heard his movement and felt the killing intent coming towards him quickly...
Of course, because these monsters hunt alone, they are very cautious and distinguished by their great agility. The moment he felt the intention of killing, he quickly looked behind him and jumped, moving to the side, dodging the human attack...
For the young man, covering the distance of 20 meters only took a second and a half...
In the end, the young man was considered one of the strongest all-around fighters in his world and even broke several records in various sports...
But despite his speed and his certainty that the wolf would evade him, the young man was still amazed at how quickly the wolf noticed him and his reactions, evading him...
The moment he moved his hands to cut the wolf's stomach, he found that he would not reach his stomach...
Thus, the young man quickly shifted his arm strength and focused on hitting the wolf's front leg...
Although the wolf evaded the young man's attack, his leg was still cut, leaving a thick wound through which the bones could be seen...
After dodging the wolf to the side, several meters away, as soon as he put his leg on the ground, he felt pain and raised it instinctively, but that moment almost cost him his life.
The moment the wolf put his legs on the ground, the young man quickly moved to the side towards the wolf and then made a diagonal cut on the wolf's neck...
Because the wolf did not expect a successive attack, its reaction was delayed in jumping back, and despite avoiding it, it was still cut off a few centimeters below the neck...
…
but The matter was not over yet. The moment the wolf retreated again, the young man chose to catch up with him by moving in two small steps and then jumping directly with a stabbing motion toward the wolf's head...
..
Although the wolf was agile and cautious, he had never fought with a creature that attacked in this way, and in the end he ended up being stabbed between the eyes...
Looking at the wolf's unwilling eyes before his death, the young man pulled out his sword and shook it aside to drip the blood, looking at the wolf with admiration...
However, the moment the young man shook his sword aside, another wolf quickly pounced on him from behind...
As for the wolf, he had been watching the fight since the moment the young man launched the attack and was waiting for an opportunity to exploit it. However, he never expected that the human in front of him had actually noticed him...
The moment the wolf moved and jumped attacking the young man, he saw it from the corner of his eye.
There, the young man lowered his body to a squatting position, then jumped back parallel to the ground to cut the wolf from the middle of his chest to the bottom of his abdomen, and ended by rolling backwards and returning to the ready position, holding his sword to the side...
While he carefully observes his surroundings in case there is another predator lurking...
After standing there for half a minute and making sure that there was nothing else, the young man stood up and looked at the body of the second wolf, speaking...
"I have lived in the wilds longer than you, so do not expect to succeed in sneaking up on me."
…
After finishing the fight, the young man moved to the corpses in front of him... After noticing the corpse of the two wolves and the mutilated corpse of the wolf's prey, he thought a little.
"There are several parts of the Silver Fang Wolf that can be sold for a good price. It is best to take them and dissect them later."
Then he took his dimensional bag and touched the bodies of the two wolves and put them inside...
…
Thus, the young man took the bodies of the two wolves, and after looking around to determine the direction of the cave so as not to get lost, he took another path and moved away from the place of fighting...
