Chapter 6: Beast Hunting

The next day, it was a Saturday so Jake had to move on with his plans. He got up early and through the system, he found the place he was going to, East Haven valley.

According to the system, it was a very dangerous valley that was inhabited by lots of beasts. The system also added that it was a 2days journey to East Haven valley from Arcadia, so Jake just packed the food he will need for his journey. 

    After getting out of arcadia, he started waking to the direction in which the system said the valley was. After walking from time to time Jake stopped to rest and during the night he kept training.

 After 2days he got to East Haven valley, he put on the armor he burrowed from Anthony, it was a mutant beast armor. Anthony said it will help him and he will be protected.

   Jake wanted to rest but he saw something heading in his direction, he jumped up, he didn't know what kind of beast it was and it was far away coming towards him so he asked the system.

   'System what kind of beast is that? '

[System replying host...It's a blue wood Fox, a primitive type of beast that is commonly found anywhere, they are also called scavengers as they eat remains of other beasts]

   Jake then hid behind a rock, 'Since it's a primitive beast I can easily defeat it with my fire skill!' Jake thought to himself.

   The fox seems to stop just close by and it looks like a beast had died at the spot where the blue wood Fox stopped. It started feeding on the beast, Jake then sneaked and was coming towards the beast. The Blue wood Fox seems to be intelligent and also have a great sense of smell, it seemed to notice something was around and it started sniffing after some time of sniffing it looks to be satisfied and immediately started making strange noises, Jake just stood there watching after some time he started seeing more blue wood foxes coming towards the other blue wood Fox.

  Jake then understood what the Blue wood Fox was doing, it was calling for backup.

'Looks like you knew you were in danger too bad you will have to die!' Jake said and immediately rushed forward and threw fireballs at the Blue wood foxes, the foxes seem to notice the amount of danger coming their way, and they immediately dodged all the incoming fireballs.

  'Wow, how could they be so smart and skilled to dodge the fireballs I sent?'

[System replying host...The Blue wood Foxes are not just any ordinary beast, they have a special skill that helps them live long, it's called Bashir, and it's a type of skill that helps them slow down the movement of things. Depending on how strong each Blue wood Fox is the strong ones can even stop time.]

  Jake then thought that because of the Bashir skill they possess they were able to know where his fireballs were coming from. He suddenly got an idea.

  'Let us see if you all can doges dozens and dozens of fireballs!'

He started shooting more fireball after fireball, the Blue wood foxes tried dodging the fireballs, but some of them reach 3 of the foxes and they fell burnt. 

    The others seems to learn from it and they panicked and became scared, they started running, but Jake didn't let them he was chasing after then shooting more fireballs and he killed them.

   He then dragged the Blue wood foxes he chased to the place where the others were. He then took out his dagger and started carving out the beast's crystals.

  [Beast soul of Blue wood Fox gained, type Bashir.]

[For killing the first beast host has gained 40,000points, Total points 60,000/100,000]

    'What but how?' Jake asked

[Host has a special type of potential in which killing some type of beast he could gain their Beast souls or their skills. Only a few are born with this kind of potential and are sorted all over Terran.]

Jake smiled, he now has the Bashir skill and it would be of help to him. After taking out all the beast crystals and putting them in his bag he got up and started walking more deep into the valley.

    He came across A bunny-like beast, he tried to use the dagger to kill it after he caught one, but as soon as the dagger was about to touch it, the bunny beast started increasing in size, it grew to a point where it was talker than Jake, it stopped growing but Jake knew it wasn't the end of its growth stage, he started running, but the bunny beast was hoping faster than him and immediately was at his front Jake didn't know what to do.

     He then started making a big fireball, it started small but immediately it was slowly growing and it became bigger than Jake. The bunny seeing this knew it was in danger and started hopping away, but Jake didn't let it go he threw the massive fireball at it and the bunny beast fell, then Jake took the dagger and rushed towards it and stabbed it. Immediately the system spoke.

 [ Mutant bunny beast killed, no beast soul gained. 60,000 points gained.

Total points 120,000/100,000]

 [Host is evolving...The host is now a level 3 mage and level 2 fighter. Points remaining 20,000/500,000]

    Jake was a little disappointed, he only evolved to be a level 3 mage, but was still stuck as a level 2 fighter.

 'I need to also evolve to become a level 3 fighter and level 3 mage, I need to get stronger so I can find out the truth!'. Jake said to himself.

  He started heading back to Arcadia, on the way he encountered a more primitive beast, he killed all of them and took their beast crystals.

   After 2days of walking, he finally reached Arcadia.
