Chapter 4 - Outskirts of The Dark Forest

When the two girls heard this, they stopped, but the man yelled as if he hadn't heard the boy. "Don't worry, Oscar. Just stay right there, I'm coming."

Seeing that the man was about to run pass the giant tree, Oscar raised his hand, pointing at the branches of the tree.

But before the man realized what the boy was talking about, it was too late. He found his leg caught up in a rope and a big net sprouted from the ground, suspending him in the air.

"I told you to stop, uncle, but you didn't stop. You know it's not my fault you got caught up in the trap-net." Oscar shook his head and walked over to where the net was hung and said.

He was about to walk towards Cassian to release the rope-net when the two young sisters ran towards him.

The girl wearing the white headband grabbed his ears with both hands, and pulled them, shouting. "Oscar....what did I tell you?"

"Ouch, not to come here alone?"

"So, why didn't you listen? If I find you ran out by yourself next time time, I will wring your ears off...hm?"

"Yes, sister..." Oscar rubbed his aching ear vigorously, and immediately begged vaguely for mercy. "Please... if you don't let go, my ears will fall off."

The other girl, wearing a yellow headband quickly stepped forward and gently smacked her sister's hands away, easing the pressure of Shesara's hand.

She pulled Oscar to the left, glanced angrily at Shesara, and turned back to the boy. "You're not hurt, are you?"

Oscar made a grimacing face at Shesara and said. "Don't worry, sister, my ears are quite strong, you know."

"I mean the bear. Did it hurt you?"

"No, big sister. I'm fine."I wanted to catch it alive. It's a pity that it's dead." Oscar answered. He wanted to catch the bear alive. It was a pity they shot it dead.

When he realezed he would be staying in this world from now on, he had been looking for ways to entertain himself and increase his power base. He was no longer a baby.

At this time, he had already grown into a strong boy, about one meter tall.

Unlike other tribesmen, he not only had a hard and beautiful face, but also had a slightly paler complexion than the rest of them. But his most powerful attribute was his hunting skills.

At the age of four, when the other children in the clan only knew how to pee and mud, Oscar was already able to guard the hunt with the clan.

Regardless of how young he was, due to the memories he had acquired from his previous life, he could often come up with all kinds of strange ideas to make his tribe have a good harvest from their plantations.

Except the Remnant, no one else knew about the secret of Oscar's rebirth, just that he was a great talent and had an extremely flexible mind.

In the past few years, the Remnant would occasionally exchange thoughts and check the advancement of Oscar's power base.

Anytime he found Oscar's power base lacking, he would immediately encourage him to harness ether if he wanted to survive in this world. Great magical prowess came from a strong power base.

Ever since Oscar followed his father to guard the hunt for the first time, the people had gradually seen that the number of death and injury had dropped significantly.

In many cases, they got big harvests without having a single person got hurt.

On many occasions, his father had tried to let him lead the tribe to guard the hunt, but he had never dared to let Oscar enter the forest alone.

After all, the boy was still young, and apart from possessing a lot of good ideas, he didn't have much ability to protect himself yet.

Moreover, the forest was full of dangers, and there were many powerful creatures inside it, especially the Athons who were living at the central part of the forest.

Every time Oscar was asked to lead the hunting team, his father would also tell him not to go deep into the forest, and ask the clansmen who are guarding the hunt to always remind him of that.

Oscar pulled out a bronze dagger, and started cutting open the bear's skull. If it was just a normal bear, it would have no essence crystal. If it was a magical beast, it would possess a green essence crystal.

But if it was an Athon, it would have red essence crystal. He already knew it was a knownbeast, he just wanted to confirm for himself.

After opening the skull, no essence crystal was seen. So, it was indeed a magical beast, excellent for food.

Oscar was returning the knife back onto his waist when he heard the voice of the man caught in the trap-net. "Can anyone let me down?"

Oscar turned to his sisters who were closer to the trap-net. They smiled, nodded and cut down the rope.

After falling to the ground, Cassian struggled to crawl out of the rope net. He looked around, wanting to say some angry words to the boy but saw that he had already ran away from there.

Disgruntled, he picked up the dead bear and began to trod forward behind Shesara and Hespera.
