Anomaly

'Should I actually go back?' I thought to myself as I deserted the clearing. 

It was true that I got four times more stones than was absolutely necessary for the day... But the half that I could use, I already have plans for. 

In other words, if I wanted to cultivate a little bit more, I had no other choice but to get back to hunting, despite telling Lucius I would not. 

"I only need a few more stones," I muttered to myself as I returned to my hunting grounds. 

I even went as far as to hide the entire pouch of stones into my storage ring. Worst case scenario, if I were to encounter Lucius while still hunting, I could claim I safe kept it in my balls, worried about the bag breaking. 

Soon, I had my eyes on the first target. This time, it was one of those fast-moving, rapidly-dodging rabbit-like monsters. 

Exactly as the one of those whose nest we destroyed before our visit to the sect.
