Chapter 32: Unseen Enemy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the forest, Gray’s figure flashed as he used his maximum speed.

He jumped over a small hill in front of him. The moment he landed, he only supported himself with the trees beside him for stability. Then, he continued sprinting forward without slowing down.

Such a good physique was due to Gray’s tier 2 body strength. Although it couldn’t be compared to wild beasts, they were clearly on par with each other in terms of the system’s evaluation criteria.

With a physique that far exceeded that of an ordinary person, coupled with the fact that he had been trekking through the mountains and forests every day for the past few days or fighting with wild beasts, Gray couldn’t be said to be walking on flat ground as he traversed through the mountains and forests, but he was very comfortable with it.

However, this wasn’t enough!

While Gray was traversing, the dragon egg was constantly updating Gray on the location of the wild beast. The wild beast’s position constantly flickered, and it was getting closer and closer to Gray’s position.

Obviously, even if Gray was running at his fastest speed, the beast’s speed was still faster than his.

If this continued, when Gray arrived at the rendezvous point that he had initially estimated, he would probably only be able to touch the beast’s tail.

This wouldn’t do. Its speed was too astonishing. If he were to meet it at such a speed, the dragon egg’s Dragon’s Might might not even be able to take aim. He had to get ahead of it.

Gray changed his direction and ran in a way that was almost on par with the beast’s route!

Only by running ahead of the opponent and reaching the intersection of the two tracks would there be hope of victory!

However, at this moment, a violent roar that sounded like thunder tearing through the sky rang in Gray’s ears.

“Boom!”

The sound sounded very far at first, but after a moment, it actually started to grow.

Gray quickly noticed that it was the sound of something approaching.

What was surprising was that the source of the sound was basically the same as the beast’s route as indicated by the dragon egg.

This sound came from the beast!

This shocked Gray. What exactly did that beast do to cause such a sound?

He had fought quite a number of type 2 beasts, but even the most dangerous ones had not been able to produce such a sound!

What kind of beast was that, and what had it done to cause such a ruckus throughout the forest?

For some reason, Gray suddenly remembered what Aikasha had said when her troop had evolved into a tier 3 troop.

“It has broken away from the category of beasts, and possesses supernatural powers…”

Maintaining his high-intensity running, Gray unconsciously muttered.

Immediately after, his tensed nerves tensed up even more.

In the past, he and Aikasha had guessed that whether it was a beast, a troop, or even a Guardian, in this world, under some kind of mandatory power system, all of them were treated equally.

Since a troop could possess supernatural powers after advancing to tier 3, then there was no reason why a beast couldn’t!

Gray’s heart sank.

If his target this time was really a tier 3 existence, then did he really have a way to beat it?

It could even be said that when facing a tier 3 existence, he was still running with the goal of hunting it. Wasn’t he courting death?

However, even with such a terrifying guess, Gray’s footsteps didn’t show any signs of stopping. He didn’t even have the intention of slowing down.

On the first day, the only things he could use after transmigrating were a kitchen knife and an unhatched troop.

Even under such desperate circumstances, he still dared to take a step into the unknown world with a brave heart.

Compared to that, Gray now had the strength of a tier 2. He had a sharp weapon, and with the beasts he killed with his own hands, he could probably rank at the forefront among the Guardians.

With such preparations, Gray was even more unlikely to retreat!

Compared to hesitation, confusion, and retreating, he believed in fighting head-on!

When facing a narrow path, the brave would win!

Even if the beast on the other side was really an existence that was beyond common sense and could not be defeated by force, he should not retreat just because he heard the voice created by the opposing side!

The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and Gray and the beast’s future was also getting closer and closer to the same path.

They were quite close to the target location.

By now, the roar had reached his ears.

Gray turned his head slightly, and he could already vaguely see something from the corner of his eye.

Just looking at it made him extremely surprised.

The huge trees and lush foliage of the jungle did not hide the figure of the beast.

Above the canopy of the jungle trees, a dark, bald outline was constantly moving up and down.

Gray finally understood what that deafening roar was. It was the sound of the other party pushing down and trampling on the trees!

What was even more inconceivable was that it was actually using such a method that was close to going berserk, and was actually able to maintain such a rapid speed at the same time.

It was impossible to face it head-on!

Gray instantly knew that he was facing a terrifying opponent that he had never faced before in his life.

Such an opponent wasn’t something he could face head-on. He could only rely on his wits.

After thinking about his strategy, Gray told the dragon egg,

“Later, I’ll approach and try to attack from behind. However, I’m afraid that there will only be an instant for the opening. You have to seize the opportunity to launch a Dragon’s Might attack. It doesn’t matter that the opponent this time is very fast. Its body is very large, after all…”

As he spoke, Gray suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He and the dragon egg had never dealt with such a huge beast before. Would there be a problem with the dragon egg’s Dragon’s Might?

The description of the dragon egg’s ability was very vague in this aspect. However, based on Gray’s experience with the dragon egg during this period of time, the dragon egg’s attacks seemed to be aimed at the beast’s head.

It was hard to say whether this was a coincidence or the dragon egg’s instinct.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Gray asked the dragon egg in advance:

“When facing an enemy with a large body, can your Dragon’s Might be effective no matter where you hit?”

Unlike how it had answered quickly in the past, the dragon egg actually hesitated this time.

Gray had a bad premonition in his heart.

Dragon’s Might was the absolute trump card that he and the dragon egg had relied on to survive in the jungle for such a long time. If Dragon’s Might lost its effect, then their hunting would only end in failure.

Seeing that the dragon egg was in a dilemma, as if it was also thinking about the answer to this question, Gray changed the way he asked:

“I noticed your previous attacks. You seemed to aim the opponents’ heads. Can you confirm that after your Dragon’s Might hits the opponent’s head, the Dragon’s Might will have an effect?”

This time, not long after, a certain voice came from the dragon egg.

With the dragon egg saying this, Gray felt confident.

It seemed like he had no choice but to have a head-on encounter with the opponent.

Gray took a deep breath, and a sense of valor surged into his heart once again..
