13 Beast Trial (1/2)

Chapter 13: Beast Trial

Inside the Beast Trial, Yale didn't feel like he was inside the Roanmad clan anymore; he like he was in a wild forest.

Yale cautiously walked as he started to look for some edible herbs or fruits and some source of fresh water, in the Beast Trial the beasts weren't the only factor, one needed to survive.

Yale had a lot of knowledge about herbs and fruits from books, so he didn't fear eating something poisonous which ended the lives of many participants before him. The quickest ones to die were always those who died because of poison, not from beasts.

Furthermore, Yale had the system to back up the information he remembered; he couldn't make a mistake in remembering something wrong as the system records were perfect.

There were a lot of edible herbs and fruits in the forest which relieved Yale a lot, he could differentiate what he could eat from what he couldn't, but he would be in dire straits if he couldn't find anything edible.

In an hour Yale climbed a tree near a little lake with a bag full of fruits and herbs. He would also need some meat as he didn't plan to become vegetarian, but Yale first secured a living zone and set some traps.

Yale also studied about traps but never tried them before, so he wasn't very confident in them.

However, even if the traps failed, this lake was the only source of water in the proximities, and the beasts also needed to drink water to live, so Yale hoped that some weak beasts appeared and he waited to assault them.

Even if all the beasts are in the mortal rank, some of them were comparable to a 3-star mortal fighter, those were the overlords of the Beast Trial, and virtually any challenger who walked into them ended up dead.

Fortunately, those powerful beasts owned some areas in the Beast Trial that even other beasts didn't dare to mess with.

No beast occupied the lake, and it was near the border of the Beast Trial; it was very unlikely that powerful beasts would show up after all the clan regularly cleaned the Beast Trial from too powerful beasts and those near the border were easily detectable. Otherwise, if the beasts were allowed to develop the survival chances for the challengers would be zero.

Yale thoughts were right as he managed to quickly hunt a rabbit with an arrow, a bow was really useful for this kind of trial, and the targets were better to practice than those static ones in the clan.

”New Dynamic Quest: Hunt one hundred beasts without being discovered. Reward: Passive Skill [Stealth: Level 1].”

Yale was happier about the notification than about the rabbit, he was hoping to obtain some new Dynamic Quest since a long time ago, but none popped out.

”Coming here was the correct decision.”

Yale was now sure, the change of his lifestyle provoked changes in the system. Yale wasn't doing anything challenging before, he was already used to all his training, and he didn't feel any difficulty in them.

Even if his stats remained the same, Yale was now more confident in being able to reach ten points in all of them than before.

Fortunately for Yale, this was only a trial and not a real beast forest, the clan used a spell to replenish the water constantly so that anyone could drink it without problems. Risking to make a fire to cook the food was already enough if he also needed to boil water every time he wanted to drink it would attract some attention from the other beasts.

That would be different if Yale could use magic but it's impossible without being ten years old, he could only use the most basic methods.
