Volume 3 Chapter 38 (2/2)

“I take it this means that this slienerally at the botto killed by huical beasts But apparently, this sli in such a ruthless environment that it actually transfor I thought of just now, but I think itto do with the fact that it hunts and then eats its prey

What’s strange about this slime is that it doesn’t have the Split skill that other slies to reproduce, but that’s not so I can find out immediately, so I’ll put it on hold for now

In any case, I was surprised for a bit, but with this the matter has been settled

I left the Diain An hour passed, and I began to see an area where the trees have been knocked down

“The lake’s close” [Ryouma]

This trees that have been knocked down is proof that I’ical beast that knocked this trees down is the Cannonball Rhinos A large th of 3m And as you’d expect, they live near water, and prey on fallen trees

Incidentally, the Cannonball Rhinos is a B Rank ical beast, but unless you attack first, they won’t do anything They do tend to get worked up during breeding season, but as long as you take care not to get too close to theentleas you don’t piss one off anyway If you do, it won’t be funny The greatest special trait of the Cannonball Rhinos is the skin and hair covering its body These two things are so hard itEven ainst it In fact, if it’s only its defenses that we’re considering, then it’s definitely coical beast

Moreover, the Cannonball Rhinos is faster than its large fra an adult, it can even use the neutral then Body

A durable and heavy body coupled with a power that won’t lose out And on top of all that, a ether, it’s charge is a thing to be feared Take one directly, and you’ll definitely incur a life-threatening wound

Note though that the Cannonball Rhinos does not only live in the Great Forest of Shurus There are some lost ones that have also been spotted in other plains and forests There were also soates and walls in the past It’s such that the Cannonball Rhinos received the nickname, “Wallsmasher”

As I recalled that information that I researched in the past, the lake cah I say lake, the water is ht be possible to drink it, but for humans we’ll definitely need to boil it first Not that it ic… As for the surrounding area…

“…There doesn’t see whether there’d be Cannonball Rhinoses around, but fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case I should take this opportunity, and pass through this area as soonas I can

“If I head directly east froe in 4 hours… Looks like I should be able tothe compass I had prepared, I confir th way, I was attacked several times by raptors and blade rats Naturally, I defeated those as I continued along my way

The raptors don’t really matter ht They ht look small and cute, but their attacks aren’t funny

The blade rats spread their lih the air, but sharp, blade-like objects can be seen in its h the air, attacking as they aimed for the carotid artery and throat

No one should underestiical beast just because it’s s attention to radually decreased Until eventually, I spotted the figure of a person

“Another person… No, a zorass being pushed, but the “person” responded, and it faced toward ed out and its windpipe bitten off by soht Ball’” [Ryou zoht Ball toward it There’s no reason for ht Ball I shot cleanly blew off the head of the zombie

With this, the problem was easily solved, but…

“Shuraaaa!” [Undead]

“Hy–…Hyu…” [Undead]

“GARURURUu…” [Undead]

“’Light Ball’ Tch!” [Ryouical beasts that appeared were nothing but undead The undead that appeared were the usual wraiths and zoical beast corpses turned undead, the beast zombies

There were many kinds of beast zombie Of course, there were raptors and blade rats But there was also the C Rank ical beast, the Anchor Chae its body’s color to s, while it attacked vital spots with the hard end of its long tongue And there was also the Doping Bee The doping bee has a body colored red and purple It’s poisonous, and when I saw a zo bee, I couldn’t help but break out cold sweat

The doping bee is an A Rank o out of its way to attack huth isn’tprowess isn’t much different from that of a normal bee At most it’s only really a pain to kill since it’s small and fast And if one adequately prepared for it, then it’s possible to defeat theical beast like that was classified as A Rank, well that’s because of the doping bee’s poison and thening the body of e for its lack of power, it has the ability to strengthen other ical beast that ical beasts to protect their nest I did wonder at first whether the berserked er to the nests as well, but apparently, because of the poison, the beasts won’t attack their nest

In addition, the doping bee’s needle and honey can be turned into various hly profitable But because it’s not possible to go around the nests of doping bee’s without risking one to death at the hands of one of their guardian ical beasts, there’s not ain, they’re not even the sort of ical beast that lie in limited places, so it’s not even possible to plan ahead Consequently, their nests and ical beasts that have been stabbed by their needles are rarely s

Because of that, adventurers rush in droves whenever a ical beast that has been affected by their poison is spotted Speaking of which, the way to identify whether abee’s poison is to look at their eyes and the place where they were stabbed Their eyes should have an abnorestion in it And the place they were stabbed should have a vivid violet speck on it

The doping bees here have all lost their special abilities though They’ve all been zoe Even if they were still alive, their poison wouldn’t work on zoht now, it’s the raptors who’s a pain and not the doping bees” {Ryouence and can no longer fight as a group, but their agility rehouls

The sun has also set… I guess it can’t be helped I fired Light Shot in all four directions, quickly blowing away the undead in the surrounding area And then–––

“’Holy space’ ‘Di the Holy space that I had directly learned froht out the light sli them out before because it wouldanyth” [Ryouma]

After that… well it turned into a fixed operation

The grave slimes used Attract Ghosts to lure the eneht sliic When non-undead ical beasts ca all of the with the undead wasn’t a problest the undead that ild The undead here were much more resistant to Attract Ghosts than the ones in the Town of Departed Spirits

I’m a bit concerned, but oh well It’s already dark, so I decided to retire for the day

I hope I can get to Core by tomorrow
