Elite Monster

Even though Jonathan was enticed by the idea of experience, he still worried about his safety.

In the past few days of power leveling he had gone through, his level had risen a lot. He was by now almost about to reach level 10 which would give him more spells. But as the experienced requirements increased with each level, it was taking longer and longer to level up.

The boring leveling process had always been an uncomfortable process for him. Usually was is more willing to do other mundane tasks instead of this. For now, as far as he was concerned, he just needed to increase his levels first. That and to find some civilization so that he could find himself a proper place to rest instead of the damn forest he was stuck in.

Regarding the question of whether to go deeper, Jonathan's choice in his heart was like the Spear warrior George who suggest to leave the forest. However, because he had the Sacred Ankh, he wasn't entirely afraid of dying although it would be a waste to use it right now. That's why he wasn't entirely advocating on leaving the forest but wouldn't mind if the party decided to leave.

He was still a bit greedy to reach higher levels. Levels was the only strength recognized in the wild and something everyone respected.

By now, the ranks of the monsters that Jonathan was observing were getting higher and higher, basically all of them were Tier 3 monsters that they were facing. Sooner or later, something would go wrong if they blindly dug deeper.

It wasn't a surprise when they finally encountered their first big trouble since entering the forest.

***************

While the chattering people continued to go to the depths of the dense forest, Jonathan suddenly found a big red dot on his map navigation, and the guide indicated that the red dot belonged to a Tier 3 elite creature.

The area where they were located happened to enter the super-large warning area of ​​the seemingly parading red dot.

It seemed after sensing the presences of Jonathan and his party, the red dot rushed towards them without any hesitation.

"Be careful! I can feel something strong coming!"

Jonathan immediately warned the team as everyone in tacit understanding quickly reacted. After hearing a disharmonious sound, they faced the direction from where they felt movement and organized themselves in a formation with expert skills.

Not long after, the sound from the dense forest became louder and louder as if something was making its way towards the party. Soon a huge giant yellow toothed devil tiger jumped out of the bushes. Its body more than a foot long with sharp teeth prodding out of mouth, the tiger gave an extremely frightening aura.

"ROAAAAAAAAAR!"

With a resounding tiger roar, the giant tiger approached towards the party, it's every movement with purpose as if sizing up its prey.

Jonathan immediately observed the real strength of this tiger using his Eye of Insight.

[Giant Tooth Tiger King] (Level 35 Elite): HP 3000, Movement speed 600

Jonathan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He could feel his back drenching in sweat.

This guy could be said to be Jonathan's first ever encounter with an elite level creature of this world. The rough data provided by his Eye of Insight proved its strength to be strong.

The fastest in the team, Leah only had a movement speed of 450 when Jonathan had previously checked her. It only went to show the tiger would be fast and it was impossible for them to escape when even the fast in their party was really slow compared to the elite monster.

Along with the oppressive aura the Giant Tooth Tiger was giving off was making everyone tremble on their spots.

"Tier 3 monster? No, this [Giant Tooth Tiger] is much larger than ordinary guys. It definitely has the strength of Tier 4, it should be a [Giant Tooth Tiger King]! Everyone, be careful and organize your formations!"

The experienced Spear warrior George was the first to reach while Tyrese stood in front of him with his shield, supposedly broken out of his stupor from George's shouting.

Now was not the time to hesitate. After a brief observation, the Giant Tooth Devil Tiger seemed to have felt that the strength of this human group was not very strong. This made them an easy prey. The Tiger started to act more domineering as it opened its mouth full of rows of teeth with a hungry look in its eye. The rows of fangs visible were uniform as saliva dripped down in hunger.

The two huge fangs prodding out of its lower jaw were more than 30 centimeters long, a single hit from those could kill anyone. The Tiger appeared hideous and devil like for the party at the moment.

With a quick few steps to accelerate forward, the [Giant Tooth Tiger King] began to pounce fiercely towards the party. Tyrese, the shield warrior who was in front of the party held his huge shield that covered his body towards the Tiger.

He raised his shield towards the pouncing Tiger which luckily was able to withstand the impact from the Giant Tooth King.

This was just the first round.

Booom!
