Blood Assimilation

After walking for about 5-10 minutes, Randy finally saw a group of mutated beasts; It was group of big rabbits. These were mutated rabbits that were twice as big as ordinary rabbits, and they also grew little horns after mutating.

Most of the time, they were harmless and only popular for their tasty meat, so many hunters hunt them and sell their carcasses to restaurants. But nevertheless, one can never be too careless around mutated beasts since some of them also awakened their inherent abilities or special abilities just like humans.

When Randy noticed these big rabbits, they also sensed his presence as soon he appeared a few meters away from them and then both parties began to stare at each other for a few moments.

\'For now, fighting these big rabbits should be enough to test out my combat prowess without any risk.\' Randy silently thought to himself while looking the big rabbits.

At this point, Randy suddenly displayed a smile as he prepared to activate his skill to rush and kill these big rabbits, however he was surprised to see that these big rabbits suddenly turned around and scurried away without even looking back.

Some run into other big rabbits, knocking them over without stopping to check on their companions as if they had just witnessed a huge calamity enough to warrant abandoning their companions to save their own lives.

Randy was stunned speechless when he saw this scene unfolding in front of him; they did not even give him a chance to attack first and simply just run away as soon they saw him with reckless abandon.

This was not what he had expected or even how he thought things would play out. He stood there for a moment and very soon, he finally realized where the problem lies after thinking about it for a bit.

It was him!

The problem was him!

At this moment, when he completely transformed into the werewolf form, he was basically akin to an S-rank human with just his physical buffs.

And although his mana points were measured to be only at C-rank Low-State, it does not change the fact he was physically strong enough to tackle any weak S-rank mutated beast to a draw without dying or easily dealing with any ordinary A-rank mutated beast that did not have any special abilities.

In comparison, these big rabbits were only between F-rank and D-rank mutated beasts, so it makes sense for them to have a sense of fear when a terrifying person such as him suddenly appeared in their territory without warning.

Upon realizing his mistake, Randy sighed helplessly before suddenly activating one of his skills.

[[Gale Riding Skill Activated]]

Immediately he felt the surging wind currents around him was under his control and he could even manipulate it anyhow he wanted, even riding on them to increase his speed.

Whoosh!

Instantly, Randy abruptly moved forward from his position, chasing after the running big rabbits. And very soon, he closed the distance between them and caught up to the fleeing big rabbits and immediately raised his clawed hand and slash towards them.

Wish! Wish! Wish! Wish!

Blood spilled from the big rabbits\' bodies as they could not handle a single claw attack from Randy and could only helplessly drop to the ground before going limp shortly after.

They were insta-killed!

Randy did not only use his claws to attack these big rabbits but also utilize his control over the wind through his Gale Riding skill to unleash a make-shift wind slash through his sharp claw attack just now.

At the moment, he was not sure how strong the hides of this creature were, so he decided to play it for now until he was certain of that fact.

After all, he did not prepared any equipment before coming to the Beast Forest since he did not have any money to afford those expensive armors and weapons.

But nevertheless, those with a reinforcement-type ability usually do not rely on equipment when fighting monsters or beasts as it only serves to hinder their movements during combat or become uncomfortable when the armor suddenly does not fit them after their body size or structure change slightly when their abilities were activated.

This was a headache!

For these various reasons, no one with a reinforcement-type or an enhancement-type ability ever wears armors.

However some choose to use weapons such as swords, blades, spears, and other long handled weapons that may not be affected or affect them after they had used their ability.

At this moment, Randy suddenly stopped moving as he was currently looking into the void to observe the lines of texts that were quickly appearing on his system\'s display.

---

[[You have slain a group of harmless mutated rabbits, \'Big Rabbits\' there were between the ranks of F and D]]

[[Through this feat, you have obtained 3.5 Knowledge Points]]

---

Seeing these lines of texts, Randy instantly felt dejected when he saw the total amount of knowledge points that he had obtained just now.

\'With this accumulation rate of knowledge points, wouldn\'t I have to at least fight and kill a thousand of these big rabbits to meet my goal for the day. No matter how strong I am right now, I will feel still bored due to the mental exhaustion from having to find and kill these big rabbits that usually hide in some holes in the ground to prevent themselves from running into other strong mutated beasts. It was already very rare for them to be out here like this.\' Randy silently thought as he let out a dejected sigh before shaking his head.

\'It seems like I have to change my targets for now, but where do I even begin? This was already the outer part of the Beast Forest, and only weak mutated beast like the likes of the big rabbits from just now roam around these parts of the Beast Forest.\'

While thinking so, Randy had already took out a knife from his storage bracelet and started dismantling the four big rabbits that he slew just now to check whether they had a beast core.

There were various different kinds of cores in this world that came from different kinds of creatures.

For example of such cores would be the magic beast cores, monster cores, and the spirit beast cores.

Naturally this was only the example as there were still other kinds of cores from other forms of monsters or beasts.

But in this forest, most of the beasts were either mutated magical beasts that evolved through magical energy, mutated monsters that evolved through life energy, and or mutated spirit beasts that evolved through the now abundant spiritual energy of this planet as a result of the dungeon gates and dimensional rifts that started appearing in this world and connecting to worlds on the other end.

Randy finished dismantling the magical beasts, big rabbits and soon found out with disappointment that there were no magic beast cores in them.

Randy wondered whether he should keep the meat of this rabbits, so he could sell them later to some restaurants to make some money on the side.

Although it would not be much, but it was still better than just leaving these carcasses lying in the forest to rot or perhaps eaten by other mutated beasts.

After much thought, he decided to keep them in his storage bracelet.

This bracelet was something he obtained from that burglar the other day. This was only a spare storage bracelet that he found inside the other storage bracelet containing the stolen items.

Compared to the space within that storage bracelet, this one was only a few cubic meters, so there was not that much space in it to store many things.

However, what surprised Randy was the fact that, there was no money or anything in this storage bracelet and he opened and also, there was no seal placed on this storage bracelet after he carefully inspected it with his upgraded system.

---

⟪[[Storage Bracelet(no protection seals detected)]]⟫

⟪[[Rank: Low]]⟫

⟪[[Description: An ordinary storage bracelet enchanted with a compressed space to store inanimate items]]⟫

---

This is what he saw when he inspected it with the system, so obviously there were no issues with this storage bracelet and Randy was rest assured to use it without a care.

With that thought, he immediately inserted a little magical energy into the storage bracelet as he uses his mind to urge the bracelet to take in the four carcasses of the big rabbits.

After that was done, Randy stood up and turned his head around before venturing a little deeper into the Beast Forest. However, this time, he was only using 20% of his reinforced state, thus bringing his level of strength down to A-rank approximately.

\'This should be enough to deal with most obstacles along the way.\' Thinking that to himself, he then marched forward with long but cautious strides.
