While Yukikaze sat on top of a rock next to the waterfall on the cave she decided to make a check on her entire system to see exactly what she has with her right now.

` That`s what I thought. No more food in the system inventory. `

Seeing her own lack of food Yukikaze went on the search for food.

Even with the use of (Enhanced sense of smell Lv.1) and (Enhanced sixth sense Lv.1) she wasn`t able to detect any kind of food. Probably because of the large amount of hunting she did in this area a couple days ago. She has to hunt elsewhere for a while so the animals here have time to repopulate.

With no other choice she started heading deeper into the forest.

It still took what felt like ages to find something. What Yukikaze found was something far better than a white bunny though.

She found four deer like animals eating grass in the middle of a small grass field. By the look and size of them one of them can feed her for at least three days. Yukikaze used (Appraisal Lv.3) to see if she has a chance fighting them.

Race: Brown Deer

Grade: Uncommon

HP: 1500/1500

Stamina: 150/150

Info: Brown Deer`s are focused on running and will even leave members of there own race behind if the majority can flee.

` So I only have to attack one and prevent it from fleeing. Wait a second if they are uncommon than they have a beast core inside of them. Hunting them not only solves my food problem but also brings me closer to evolving. It`s like hitting two birds with one stone. ` Yukikaze thought happily.

` Most of them are close to each other but one female deer is at least 50 meters from the rest. That deer is going to be my prey. I will sneak through the high grass and than strike her neck with (Bite Lv.4) and (Claw Lv.4) to make the maximum amount of damage. Since I don`t believe that that will be enough I will, after landing on the ground from the jump attack on her neck, try and rip her throat out with using (Claw Lv.4). I hope that that will be enough to kill that deer. If it isn`t I will use the strategy I used against the stone golem which was to dodge and then counterattack. `

After she made her plan and thought everything through she started to sneak up on the deer. After she got almost into jumping distance she noticed another presence with her (Enhanced sixth sense Lv.1).

The presence wasn`t strong and she wasn`t able to smell anything other than the smell of the deer.

` That`s strange maybe it is a bug? ` Yukikaze decided to ignore it. She will see it anyway after she finished her surprise attack.

Yukikaze continued to sneak closer and closer until she was in range. The deer still didn`t notice anything wrong until Yukikaze was already in the air.

The deer was shocked and couldn`t move to the dodge but even if the deer wasn`t in shook the speed of Yukikaze was to much so dodging was impossible.

-525 (Critical)

HP Remaining :125/1500

After Yukikaze landed she immediately jumped again to leave the deer with no chance to counterattack.

The other Deer`s were already running away from the site of the battle.

She used (Claw Lv.4) again and ripped the throat out of the Deer.

( (Claw Lv.4) successfully upgraded to (Claw Lv.5) )

- 750 (Critical)

HP Remaining: 0/1500

Yukikaze landed and looked proud at the her kill.She moved closer and started tearing through the flesh of the now dead deer and pulled it`s Beast core out and quickly stored it in it`s system inventory.

After she had safely stored the beast core she put the body of the deer in her system as well to have something to eat later.

Now Yukikaze noticed that she forgot about that small presence right next to her that she couldn`t identify or see. When she looked into the direction she saw something that made her feel really awful.

In front of her was a small completely horrified deer calf. Legs shacking and completely in shock it looked at the terrifying black fox with yellow eyes that easily killed it`s mother right in front of it.

Yukikaze felt a bit bad inside her but she didn`t let her actual feeling shine outside. Instead she had a neutral expression on it`s face.

Yukikaze did feel bad for the small deer calf and used (Appraisal Lv.3) on it.

Name: Harvey

Race: Brown Deer calf

Grade: poor

HP 10/10

Stamina 20/20

`It even has a name. Impressive. Maybe the others had a name as well but it didn`t show because I didn`t focus myself on a specific one? Probably. `

Out of the view of the Brown Deer calf it was still to scared to move and thought the black fox was going to kill it too.

Yukikaze on the other hand was still deciding what to do with it.

` I could kill it now. But it wouldn`t give me a beast core and nearly no food at all. It would make more sense to wait until it reaches Uncommon grade so I can get another beast core. `

Yukikaze decided to leave it alive. She turned around and ran straight into the cover of the forest. As soon as she was out of sight she relaxed since it was a really uncomfortable situation.

Harvey the Brown Deer calf on the other hand was still shaking of the terrifying experience but happy the black demon fox didn`t eat it. It thought about reuniting with the other three deer`s but they betrayed his mother so he went on his own journey to become strong and maybe get revenge.
