Chapter 148: Trial:-Hunt

'Ding,

The challenger can gain crude souls by killing the beasts of various ranks.

'Ding,

However, not all beasts can give crude souls and it depends on the luck of the challenger.

'Ding,

Only special beasts are guaranteed to give the crude souls after they are killed by the challenger.

"What?"

Henrick was shocked a little too much before earlier he was excited a little too much.

'Sigh...it is better than not getting any crude souls,'

Soon, Henrick sighed and thought at least he could now hope to get some crude souls by killing the beasts in the trial.

'So, I might be lucky to get a crude soul from the purpleback wolf,'

Henrick thought back to the time he mysteriously killed the purpleback wolf; however, he soon remembered, 'No no no...it might be because the purple back wolf was a mutated one.'

The rank 1 purple back wolf he killed in his fire demon mode was a mutated beast that falls under the category of the special beasts. So, there was no surprise he got a crude soul by killing.

'Ding,

Killing a rank 1 beasts might give a single crude soul whereas rank 2 beasts give two crude souls.

'Ding,

As for killing a rank 3 beast, kill it to know how much it gives.

Just when he was about to ask how many crude souls he would get by killing the various ranked beasts, the trail master already sent a couple of system notifications to give him a complete clarity of how the crude souls work.

"Thanks for letting me know. Now, can you give another trial?"

Henrick thanked the trial master before asking for another trial.

After his first trial 'Survive', Henrick's confidence in completing the trial had increased a lot because the trail was much easier than he thought.

'Ding,

Selecting a random Level 0 trial for the challenger.

'Ding,

Trial 'Hunt' has been selected.

'Ding,

Please go to room number 21 to complete the trial.

Just like before, the trial master had chosen another trial for him and asked him to enter room number 21 to finish the trial.

"Hmm...room number 21,"

Henrick glanced at all the door numbers around him and found a shabby door that looked like it might be shattered at any moment.

"Who cares about the door anyway. As long as I enter it, the entire location will be changed," Henrick walked towards and thought in his head, 'I wonder which beast I am going to hunt? I hope there are a lot of rank 2 beasts. So that I can gain more crude souls.'

After seeing the prices in the soul store, Henrick understood two things.

One, he needs to increase his challenger's level as high as possible in the shortest time; otherwise he could not buy the required items from the soul store even if he had the required crude souls.

And the second thing was, the items he required would require a lot of crude souls. So, along with his challenger's rank, he wanted to gain as many crude souls as possible.

So, when he heard the trial name as 'Hunt' he wanted as many rank 2 beasts as possible in the trial.

'Ding,

Hunt as many beasts as possible till you die. The more beasts you kill, the higher the rewards will be.

Just like before, as soon as he entered room number 21, he was transported to a completely different location from before.

However, unlike before, he received a system notification just as he appeared in the new location.

"Haha...finally heavens heard my prayers,"

Hearing the system notification, Henrick was excited as he started laughing out loud and started looking at his surroundings to get a rough idea about them.

With the system notification, Henrick felt that he could earn as many crude souls as possible with his current trial.

'I can get crude souls and additional rewards from the trial master which is killing two birds with a single stone,' Henrick continued to wait for the beasts to come at him as  he thought, 'Moreover, I need to create a record to get even more crude souls.'

Earlier he unknowingly created a second-best record in the trial and the trial master rewarded him by 10 crude souls.

So, this time, he aimed for the first place and according to his guess, it might give him 100 crude souls in the minimum.

As for his surroundings, it was almost similar to the location of his earlier trial except for one change.

His current location was filled with trees of all sizes, bushes and boulders which was completely opposite to the location of his previous trial; however, there was no sign of any beasts that made him a little trouble.

"Maybe I should find the beasts myself,"

'Screech'

Just as he thought to search for the beasts on his own, he heard a sharp screen from above.

'Don't tell me the beasts I have to hunt are the birds,'

Without wasting any time, he hurriedly looked up at the sky and a flock of birds were rushing at him at an incredible speed.

Compared to the beasts that walk on the ground, the beasts that fly in the sky were dangerous when the cultivator didn't know how to fly.

Moreover, when those birds were in the flock, it was even more dangerous to fight them head-on.

"Oh no...I need to hide,"

There was not much time for him to use his skills. Even if he used them, the flock of birds couldn't stop in the mid-air.

At their current speed, Henrick thought it was better for him to hide first before planning on how to deal with them later.

'Swoosh'

Soon, he rushed into the area with huge trees that would hinder the flight of the birds.

'Boom'

The area where he just stood were completely blasted by the flock of birds and a huge blasting sound was resounded that gave a shiver to Henrick's spine.

'Even though you were not killed by me, you are dead on your own...Haha,' Henrick revealed a small smile on his face when he saw the explosion.

'Screech'

However, his smile disappeared when he saw the flock of birds once again started flying into the sky and started searching for him.

'Damn it...they are more ferocious than they look,'

Henrick looked at the birds that looked like sparrows with black and red feathers.

'What should I do? At distance, my skills will not work on them,'

Henrick's skills were completely useless in the long-range. So, he started thinking about the plan to kill those birds.

"Roar"

Just as he was thinking about a plan to kill the sparrow-like birds in the sky, he heard a roar from nearby bushes.

'There are other beasts in this forest?'

Henrick was surprised at the roars of the beasts as he thought he had only bird-type beasts to kill.

'As long as I am in this forest, the flock of birds can't enter here. So, I can focus on killing the beasts in the forest,'

Soon, Henrick shifted his focus from the sky to the bushes and from the bush, a red-eyed black raccoon jumped at Henrick aiming at his throat.
