Chapter 183 Monster Hunt (Part I)

"Monster Hunt! All ten teams will be given an hour to hunt monsters in this event!"

"The more monsters you defeat, the more points you earn!"

"The monsters you could face will be the second to the fifth rank!"

"Defeating a monster in the second rank will give you one point!"

"Defeating a monster in the third rank will give you ten points!"

"Defeating a monster in the fourth rank will give you fifty points!"

"And by beating the fifth-rank monsters, you will win!"

From how the event will be, every team will be sent in simultaneously. The strongest monster should be at the fifth rank.

Even the highest-rank competitor is at most fourth grade. So no one here should be able to defeat the fifth-rank monster.

What happens if we encounter a different team? Could we eliminate them? The announcer didn't say that was against the rules.

"Knowing the rules are out of the way, the Monster Hunt is about to begin!"

With that said, the six of us were going in. Cynthia and our seniors bid us good luck, and I felt ready to win.

Being teleported to an unknown forest, the six of us started exploring. We had already begun to see monsters at the second rank. Unfortunately, they were easy to kill.

"I'm going to split up with the group. Serena, could you lead them? We would earn more points if I went alone."

I have decided to split up with the group. No one could beat me, and I could easily escape danger. The only problem for me would be the fifth-rank monster.

"Are you sure? Isn't it better for us to fight the fourth-rank monsters together?"

"I could defeat a fourth-rank monster on my own. With all five of you, you could easily do the same."

"But that can't be said for the fifth-rank monster if we encounter it. We would be wiped out. So I would prefer it if I split up."

The team couldn't say anything because I wouldn't budge from what I said. Finally, Serena sighed, and I split apart from the group.

I then began walking in a different direction. Monsters within the second and third ranks were everywhere.

To me, they were not a threat. While I couldn't kill some monsters within the third rank instantly, they would still be injured immensely.

In the forest, monsters come in various forms, from animal types to insects to plants. Many of them could be found.

After ten minutes of fighting, I found my first fourth-rank monster. Unfortunately, the fourth-rank monster is an eagle.

With its wings, it would make it harder for me to hit it down. Monsters that could fly were much faster than those that couldn't fly.

The eagle, like me, had noticed one another. So we began to stare at each other, waiting for one to move.

I wasn't a patient man. I shot a beam toward the eagle, and it barely dodged my attack. Soaring in the sky, the eagle was up in the air, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Should I run? I don't know how long it will take for me to kill this eagle. However, the eagle was cautious and intelligent enough not to strike immediately.

Seeing that I couldn't kill it, I tried to leave. But from the looks of it, the eagle was here to harass me.

Every time I get distracted from something else. The eagle would use the opportunity to attack. And to make it worse, there was nothing I could do to stop it.

I was thinking of a way to get rid of this fucker! Thinking of a way to get rid of it. An idea had popped into my head.

With a plan in motion, I went to find a third-rank monster that I could fight without killing instantly.

After finding a giant cow at the third rank, I angered it. Then, with the cow rushing toward me, I did a sidestep and dodged the mad cow.

I knew that the eagle would eventually attack. I used this chance to prepare for a counterattack. The cow I had dodged had turned around and charged toward me again.

With my body turned away from the eagle. It used this chance to make a sneak attack. I had already locked its mana and remembered its presence.

Dodging the cow, I then drew a surge of mana within me. The eagle who was attacking me was already in front.

I then created an explosion around me and hit the fourth-rank monster. The cow that was used as bait was now burnt to death.

Looking at the eagle, I could see it lying on the ground. It wasn't dead, but its ability to fly was gone. In addition, the wings of the eagle were severely damaged.

"How the tables have turned."

I couldn't help but smirk cruelly, seeing the sight of the eagle damaged in pain. I shot a beam at both wings to ensure the monster wouldn't escape.

It was screeching in pain. Now that it was down, I decided to finish this fucking bird. Walking up to the eagle, I grabbed my sword and decapitated it.

This eagle had chased me for ten minutes. One-third of the time was used, and only two-thirds were left.

I don't know how much I have killed, but the amount I had done must have been worth more than a lower rank team.

Taking a five-minute break, I went ahead and began my hunt again. I wondered if there was a chance to meet a different team.

I couldn't see my team since I had gone in a different direction apart from them. The distance between us is far.

Continuing on my path to find more monsters, I felt something dangerous. It wasn't anything like a fourth-rank monster that I had fought earlier.

Was it the fifth-rank monster? I had my mana under control, so it wouldn't be able to sense me. Unless the monster's senses were great, it was impossible to spot me.
