Chapter 368 Clear Stream Valley
Last night was very fruitful, not only I was able to advance my Body Cleaning Technique to the 17th pose, but I was also able to advance in Supreme Combat Exwercose by two moves, reaching 9th move.
But these two accomplishments pale in comparison to Mutation of Miracle Fruit energy, this would be able to bring me immense benefits beyond my imagination.
Today I will go hunt again and my destination is the same Sardine Hills, it's just that today I plan on going to the north side of it where Grimm race monsters density is little higher than central side where I went last time.
Today, I woke up an hour before dawn and made all my preparation within an hour including eating the meal.
Checking one last time I packed everything, I get out of my apartment were the hovercar was already waiting for me.
In less than fifteen minuits I reached the city gates and relieved to see, there is less crowed than last time. Though there are still thousands of people that are going through the gates, it is still less than last time.
As I get out of city gates, I jumped into the air and started to run on it and like last time, I merged the power of Sunfire into my skill.
Speedily I cut through the wasteland while experimenting on my speed as I wanted to see how much of maximum power I can merge with my skill to get the balanced speed and soon I found an answer, which is 12%.
I can currently handle 12% of the power of Sunfire merge into my flying skill.
It took me less than an hour to cross the wasteland, nine minutes less than the last time. When I had reached the sun had fully risen and the sky is bright.
This time I took a different route than last time as I am moving toward the north, not the central side last time. I am very careful moving through it case I come across any sneak attack.
Though it is near impossible to sneak attack on me due to my killing Rule and this forest contain very few Grimm Race monsters but still better be safe than sorry.
It took me a little more than an hour and a half to get to the north side of the Sardine hills, on the way I saw more than ten people going in the same way as me, unlike last time when I saw only two.
The north side of Sardine Hills not only has a decent number of Grimm Race monsters but they also have more human hunters as well and the reason Sardine hills have more Grimm Race monsters because it's connected to the Mid-level War (Hunting) ground.
Though it is close to Mid-level War Ground, it is still a low-level hunting ground and that is why most of the Grimm Race monsters found here are still Lieutenant, Captain and Major stage, there is rarely any Colonial stage Grimm race monster's venture there.
Seeing a little hazy valley between two hills ahead of me, I started to feel fear and started to regret my decision coming here, I became too impulsive after my two Rule powers advanced in a few days time.
I should have gone to the central area, just because it's going to my last time solo hunting for a few months and little advancement in my power, I had taken this impulsive decision.
Sigh!
I took a long sigh and decided to go ahead with this hunt as it will only waste of time if I want to go to the Central part of Sardine Hill's now, I will hunt north of Sardine hill's, it's just that I will hunt in the outskirt and not go deeper.
With that in mind, I started to walk toward the valley that is between two hill ranges.
This valley is known as Clear Stream Valley and quite picturesque, when I researching about it, I found pictures of the valley quite beautiful. The reason it is known as Clear Stream Valley because this valley has hundreds of small streams of water flowing from the hills.
These streams converge in many places forming small lakes and ponds.
Clear Stream Valley is not the only name of the valley, many people also call it Blood Stream Valley.
It is said that about six hundred years ago, conflict erupted in this very valley when thousands of forces from both sides took part and the conflict was so intense that only 10% of participants survived and dead people artifacts are buried across varies places in the valley.
It's being said that there so much blood from those killed that soil of the whole valley became red and stayed red for more than a year and that is why this valley sometimes referred to as Blood Stream Valley.
Though not all facts are correct, it is proven that intense conflict did occur between the Grimm Race and the human race and both races had paid the huge price over that conflict with no definite winner, and it is also true that artifacts are buried here in various places across the valley as many people found now and then.
This Clear Stream Valley is on the outskirts of the north part of Sardine hill and I decided to hunt here.
After I entered the valley, my steps became even more careful and I activated the killing Rule and started to revolve around my body so I could get enhancement in senses.
If I had done that when I come across the Ratmens trap, I would have sensed their ambush a few meters ahead and would have more prepared for their sneak attack.
One should learn from their mistakes and that is why I started circulating killing Rule so that I could actively sense threat not passively like last time.
After revolving the Killing Rule, my steps became more confident as I cautiously started to move deeper into the valley and just haft hour after entering the valley, I heard the faint sound of battle and they are coming from not far ahead.
I don't want to go toward as I am not excited like last time where I would want to check every fight, whoever comes to hunt they come at their own risk and clearly know what they are getting into and it's not like they are a danger or something.
From the sound I a hearing, The fight seemed to be in the favor of humans, if it had been monsters that are winning, I would have surely gone to check and if it's not overly dangerous for me, I might even have helped.
I decided to take the bypass around the fight and started walking toward my previously decided direction, as I traveled further into the valley, the more sounds of fighting I heard but I didnt go toward them.
The valley is really dense with Grimm race monsters, in just forty minutes in the valley and I five different sounds of the fighting.
It is after more than one hour in the valley, I spotted my first prey from the distance, they are both at Major stage and are of featherman race, as which specific tribe, I will only able to tell when I get close enough to them.
