Chapter 938: A Yarn of Thread (2/2)

Just to become more accustomed to it, Krune hunted a couple of times after swallowing a Blood Essence Crystal. He soon found out that the beam of Neon Radiance he managed to unleash after that was even more potent on the Monster Geckos, increasing the duration of their blinded states.

This way, incapacitating them became even easier. The Blood Essence Crystals could be considered his boosters, an advantage he could capitalize upon whenever he fought against any tough foe.

To warrant that, he had to accumulate more. After all, if he continued with his plan, he would eventually have to tackle the Tertiary Landmass, something that would be many times scarier than the Primary Landmass he was at now.

Moreover, the criteria of the monsters there were also different, shown to have a Supreme Monster. Among the three levels of the monsters, the first was the Mutant, one that gave him one Godly Point upon being killed.

The second was the King, one that would give him one Godly Point and a passive ability upon being killed. And finally, there was the Supreme Monster that awarded one Godly Point and an active ability upon being killed.

At present, Krune wasn't even guaranteed of surviving a battle with a Mutant. If he was careless, he could very well lose his life. Even though his abilities had improved, it wasn't to the extent he could fight head-on against a Mutant Monster Gecko.

Of course, his current strength was not worth mentioning against a Monster Gecko King. As for the Supreme Monster, it was an impossibility. Krune judged that only when he could kill a Monster King by fighting it head-on would he have a chance against the Supreme Monster. Even then, it wasn't guaranteed.

Moreover, in the layer where all abilities were passive, Krune was incredibly allured towards the so-called active ability. So, instead of wasting his time, he continued to train endlessly while scouting for even more caves to use.

A week later, he finally obtained his opportunity as Krune spotted a Mutant Monster Gecko exit the second village. It seemed to be looking for something. Judging by its tracks, it was searching for Krune.

It seemed his recent actions had spurred enough trouble for one of the second village's elites to take matters upon its own hands. Moreover, it was accompanied by a team of 10 Monster Geckos scouring through the forest in search of him.

The moment his Sonic Radar detected them, the Mutant Monster Gecko was also able to detect his position, immediately charging towards him.

Krune turned tail and sprinted from the place immediately. Though, he neither tried to escape towards his cave nor exited the forest to escape their detection. He headed straight towards the first village, making mild detours along the way, knowing based on routine scouting the positions of the teams of Monster Geckos that would be collecting fruits from the bone trees.

At the very moment he spotted a couple of such teams, Krune swerved beside them, heading further towards the first village. Since there was a clear difference in the body temperature of Krune and the freezing-blooded Monster Geckos, his chasers came right after him.

Though, this worked against them now. Thanks to the strained relations between the two villages, the moment the group from the second village passed by them, the teams of Monster Geckos were shocked.

Moreover, upon seeing the Mutant leading the charge from the other village, they assumed that it was a raid, immediately brandishing their fishing rods onto the other party. The moment that this happened, the group led by the Mutant Monster Gecko retaliated, wiping out the small teams.

It sparked a war between the two villages immediately. As the news spread through a myriad of shouts, a Mutant exited the first village, accompanied by a similar number of Monster Geckos, immediately speeding towards the group from the second village.

The relations between the two villages had become so strained that the moment they spotted each other, they engaged in a bloody fight. Thanks to the intense sounds of the fishing rods of the two Mutant Monster Geckos crashing into the rocks and breaking every bone tree they passed by, the sounds produced by Krune were no longer audible to their senses, allowing him to spy on their fight from a rather comfortable distance.

Upon seeing that both the Mutant Monster Geckos were matched in abilities, he smirked, pulling out a yarn of thread that he had collected and coiled into a rope.
