To avoid the mating female wasteland dragon lizards, Kent was forced to leave the "Giant Lizard Forest," and even ran out of the "Lush Hills." Heading north, Kent arrived at the "Chaotic Rock Cave" just as the Crimson Moon rose high in the sky.
The "Chaotic Rock Cave" was a desolate mountain range with numerous caves, most of the monsters here were not very agile, making it suitable for him to hunt. Moreover, there were plenty of Rare-grade minerals here, perfect for his "Gluttony" talent to shine.
The level range of the monsters inhabiting this area varied greatly. The surface was mainly inhabited by level 5 to level 10 monsters, while the underground spaces of the caves were the habitat of level 11 to level 20 monsters. Deeper underground was the territory of the boss, the "Ghost-Faced Spider King," and its group.
Kent casually chose a cave and entered. Since these caves were interconnected, he could easily move between them. Surprisingly, the underground was brighter than the surface, thanks to the luminescent mushrooms unique to the "Chaotic Rock Cave."
Unlike the Night Pearls, which emitted weak light and could only be seen in the dark, the luminescent mushrooms didn't glow during the day but emitted a faint fluorescence at night. This unique ecosystem caused the monsters in this area to be active at night and rest during the day.
Both players and NPCs would also explore this area at night. After all, torches and magic lamps were prone to damage during battles.
These luminescent mushrooms were the main food source for the underground creatures of the "Chaotic Rock Cave," so Kent quickly found suitable prey in the areas where the mushrooms were dense.

The Double-Sided Armor Beast was an upgraded form of the Back Armor Beast. However, its appearance was not like a beaver, but more like a turtle, covered with thick green metallic armor on both sides, with a size similar to an adult African elephant.
Kent approached and easily broke through its shield with a bite, then stopped attacking, as if he just wanted to drive it away.
Relieved, the Double-Sided Armor Beast wiggled its big butt and fled.
Would Kent let go of his prey? Impossible!
The reason he stopped attacking was to follow the Double-Sided Armor Beast to its nest. When the other party left the underground space, Kent followed the blood trail caused by the "bleeding" effect on the ground, like a stalker.
After running for most of the day, he was already tired. Lazy as he was, he didn't want to spend effort searching for caves or digging them. He simply wanted to find an elite monster and occupy its nest.
But he didn't expect the Double-Sided Armor Beast to be such a glutton. After being attacked, instead of returning to its nest, it moved to another place to start eating mushrooms.
Angered, Kent rushed up and used a [Double Bite] to kill it.
Without a guide, it didn't matter. Kent saw a cave of suitable size on the way, and there was a faint elite monster aura inside. Since it was a matter of taking over a house, whose house it was didn't matter.
After Kent finished eating the Double-Sided Armor Beast and returned to the entrance of this cave, the smell coming from inside made him regret it immediately.
He thought his feces were the most odorous in the world, but he didn't expect the smell in this cave to be equally bad. Whose cave was this?
Kent lay outside the cave and shouted for a while. Soon, a wild boar the size of an adult white rhinoceros ran out from inside.
The wild boar had a skin texture resembling grayish-white rocks, with two tusks exceptionally thick and long, as thick as an adult's waist.

[Evaluation: No elite monster can withstand the Rock Armor Boar's reckless charge.]
The Rock Armor Boar was also a brute-type monster. Seeing Kent, it showed no fear and charged straight at him.
This time, Kent, who had learned his lesson, didn't try to tank the charge. He used the Iron Mountain Charge to dodge the attack, then followed up with a Roar to control the boar, finishing it off with a Double Bite.
After eating the Rock Armor Boar, Kent, exhausted, couldn't wait to crawl into the cave, only to crawl out again in no time.
"Too stinky!" He exclaimed.
With no other choice, he continued to search for a cave and soon found another creature willing to offer its home—a Double-Sided Armor Beast.
The Double-Sided Armor Beast wasn't particularly clean, but compared to the Rock Armor Boar, it was much more tolerable, giving Kent a place to stay.
The entrance to this cave was very concealed. If the Double-Sided Armor Beast hadn't just crawled out, he might have overlooked this narrow entrance.
The entrance was narrow, but after a few dozen steps, it suddenly widened, providing enough space for three Kents to lie side by side.
Pushing a huge rock to block the passage, Kent lay in the middle of the cave, took out the Dragon Blood Fruits, and began to enjoy his spoils.
