After looking at his personal information, James was happy that he could improve his rank once again. With his current system points, he could still afford to upgrade himself and another beast to peak rank 3. All he needed now was to find a place to gather information and make a plan based on the situation.
Subsequently, James decided to return to the location where he had previously killed the lizard to see if any beasts were attracted because of his fire skill.
However, he was disappointed when he arrived at the location. Because there weren't any beasts that came to this place, and even the nearby low-level beasts seemed to have been scared away.
James then walked leisurely through the forest, enjoying the fresh air and natural surroundings. Traveling had been one of his hobbies in his previous life, so he relished being outdoors and experiencing nature.
After walking nearly 1 km, James heard two notifications from the system that caught his attention. On the way there, he also heard a lot of notifications, but he ignored them since they were below rank 3.
[Ding! Detected a Fire Python, Peak-level Silver Rank Beast 100 meters northeast ahead]
[Ding! Detected a Water Python, High-level Silver Rank Beast 100 meters northeast ahead]
[Race: Fire Python]

[Race: Water Python]

[Qualification: Silver]
[Skills: Water Gun, Hardened Skin]
[Description: This beast has a solid defense as its skill (Hardened Skin) boosts its skin's defense by a large margin, and this beast could also attack from afar using its skill (Water Gun)]
James's eyes lit up when he saw the notifications and the beast's information.
He had finally found high-level beasts that could significantly increase his experience, and help him upgrade his rank quickly.
James then walked towards the location of the two pythons, and was able to see them when he was 35 meters away.
Their bodies were huge, the Fire Python's body circumference was as big as a normal adult's head and was over 9 meters in length, while the Water Python's body was similar but somewhat shorter, around 8 meters.
They were lying beneath a big tree next to a small plant with a fruit on it. The fruit was red and similar to an apple.
Upon spotting the fruit, James was surprised to hear a system notification.
[Ding! You have discovered Fire Blood Fruit.]
[Name: Fire Blood Fruit]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Rank: Peak rank 4]
[Effect: It could help the chance of breaking through to the low rank 4 by 50%.]
"Little Fluffy, why didn't you give me a notification about this kind of treasure?" James called out Little Fluffy and demanded an explanation for the system's scan function that didn't notify him of this type of treasure when he had already told him to scan everything precious at his current level.
"Well, you told me to scan for anything precious at your level, Although that fruit is a rare treasure, it's useless for you and even if you sell it, at your level it won't add a significant amount of system points.
So, the system automatically didn't remind you of a treasure like that, and just so you know, the fruit will ripen in a matter of hours." Little Fluffy merely shrugged his shoulders, explaining that it was James's fault, not his.
"Okay then, this is how you want to play, huh? Hence, from this moment on, scan for any treasure in this world that's at least equivalent to my current rank."
James ordered Little Fluffy in an irritating tone and immediately thought of a plan to kill both of the snakes without having any chances of losing the fruit, which would ripen within a few hours.
James was afraid that if he attacked, the fire python would consume the fruit once he felt threatened, even if it hadn't ripened yet, and forcefully broke through its rank to Low Rank 4.
After some consideration, James came up with a brilliant idea and smiled like a crazy person without making any noise, since he was afraid of being discovered by the pythons and his plan would fail.
Afterwards, he decided to return to the cave first to relax and wait until the time was right to execute his plan.
When James arrived inside the cave, he saw his little sister riding on Little Snow's back, playfully running around the house.
"Little Snow, you need to go faster and be ready to dodge left and right, okay? Imagine a beast attacking you. Most importantly, when you attack a big boar, remember to aim at its head, don't attack its body, because it means less meat... I mean, you have to kill it in one attack. Remember, okay." Minji reminded Little Snow while patting his head.
She trained Little Snow to relay her message, 'Don't damage its body and only aim at its head, so that it won't waste any meat on its body.'
James smiled helplessly at his little sister's silly performance in training Little Snow how to fight.
James then walked towards them and invited them to try the sheep's meat that he had just killed.
Hearing that, Minji immediately ordered Little Snow to go inside the house and prepare the fire for cooking the meat.
