Chapter 43 - Leaving The Beast Forest

---

[[You have slain eight mutated pack of Grey Wolves, whose rank range between D-rank and C-rank]]

[[Through achieving this feat, you have obtained 1100 Knowledge Points in total]]

Reading through these displayed texts in front of his vision, Randy suddenly grinned from ear to ear, because with this, he had accomplished his goal for the day, meaning that he can now return home peacefully. 

But should he just give on this chance and simply head back home when he could easily obtain more knowledge points?

Randy obviously decided to stay for a while longer. After all, it had only been about an hour or probably even less than an hour since he entered this Beast Forest to hunt mutated beasts.

And also, upon looking out for a bit, he noticed that there were still rays of sunlight outside, although it appears to be to be getting dimmer, nonetheless, this only meant that it was still in the early afternoon. 

At this point, he took out his personal bracelet from the storage bracelet, after a slight tap from him, it then displayed a holographic screen that showed the current time: [1:30 PM].

Seeing that it had only been about 30 minutes since he entered this Beast Forest, Randy did not hesitate anymore and immediately ventured forth after taking stowing away the carcasses of the grey wolves.

He plans on spending the next two hours hunting some other mutated beasts in order to accumulate as much of  the knowledge points that he can get within that time frame. 

Right now, at this moment, he will be the new predator of this mutated beasts, harvesting their knowledge points for his own benefit until he was either fully satisfied with the amount accumulated or when time inevitably runs out and had no choice but to leave the Beast Forest at that time.

…

Within the next two hours, Randy had used the Stealthy Python's assimilated abilities to sneak up on some mutated beasts that were within the close proximity of where he had been standing before, and then covertly assassinated them without giving them any chance to retaliate. 

Luckily, most of these mutated beasts were only within E-rank to C-rank, so Randy did not spend too much effort in dealing with them. 

Occasionally, he had to use his werewolf form to defeat some of the mutated beasts since they were slightly stronger than the average mutated beasts.

In which case, relying solely only on the reinforcement state of the Stealthy Python would not be enough to deal with those mutated beasts. 

Other than that, he mostly relied on the reinforcement state of the Stealthy Python to handle most of the average mutated beasts that were below C-rank. 

As for how he knew which mutated beasts were strong and which ones were weak, Randy only needed to use his Thermal Detection Skill and then sense the amount of energy within their bodies. 

Unexpectedly, the energies within the bodies of these mutated beasts or more specifically, the warm-blooded mutated beasts were perceptible through his infrared vision as they were displayed as bright distinct colors within their bodies and using those bright colors they emitted, depending on their intensity, Randy was able to classify the stronger mutated beasts and the weaker mutated beasts. 

Nevertheless, it was only through trial and error that Randy managed to find this method of distinguishing between the stronger opponents and the weaker opponents.

Through this method, he was able to know when to utilize his werewolf form and when not to use it. 

Naturally, his werewolf form can basically also detect the stronger and weaker enemies through his heightened senses, but Randy preferred to play it safe by sneaking up on his opponents at the moment. 

After all, at the moment, he does have any profound technique to execute in case the opponent turns out to be stronger than they may appear at a glance.

This may be attributed to their unique or special inherent abilities that they may have awakened after going through their mutations.

With that thought in mind, he silently hunted the mutated beasts with the stealth and detection abilities that were now part of his repertoire of abilities obtained. 

At one point, he even ran into a mutated ape that seemed to be more intelligent than the other mutated beasts that he had fought thus far. 

That mutated ape could not be killed with his Stealthy Python's enhancement to his strength and that was due to that fact that mutated ape had an unusually strong hide, thus preventing most physical damages from causing any harm to it. 

When that happened, Randy had no choice but use his werewolf form and after an arduous battle of constantly evading its attack with his Gale Riding skill and only sometimes did he manage to claw slash its face and body with his clawed hand when there was an opportunity to strike.

However, that only managed to leave slight cut wounds all over its face and body.

Eventually, he succeeded in defeating this mutated ape by constantly draining its blood for about 10 minutes straight while dodging its attacks at the same time. 

It was through this method that he was able to ultimately manage to defeat the intelligent mutated ape. 

This caused Randy to waste so much time in one place, however the income that he received in form of knowledge points were worth the time he had spent in doing so. 

Naturally, Randy could have defeated this mutated ape easily with his werewolf form, but that would serve to cause too much noise in the surrounding, since he would have to punch it a couple of times before he could even think about defeating it normally. 

And to avoid that, he decided to drain its blood surreptitiously instead. 

Also, Randy decided not to venture too far away from the edge of the Beast Forest, all to avoid running into some mutated beasts that were stronger than C-rank 

And with that thought in mind, he mostly stayed a distance not too far away from the edge of the Beast Forest as he continued to hunt the mutated beasts within the range of E-rank to C-rank. 

After killing so many mutated beasts within these two hours in the Beast Forest, Randy had actually managed to obtain an ample amount of knowledge points, enough to bring a delighted smile to his face.

Right now, he could not wait to leave the Beast Forest and try his hands at comprehending some profound techniques. 

The only reason why he was so excited about this matter was the fact that most high school or academy students would have to wait until they eventually get accepted into a university to even think about getting their hands on one of those techniques. 

At this point, Randy looked down to check his bracelet: [3: 45 PM] and after seeing that it had only been a little more than two hours since he killed the pack of wolves from before, he decided to call it a day and right away, he proceeded to head out of the Beast Forest.
