Unlike the trees of the grassy plain, the trees In the forest were very big and thick.
Because of the dense trees, very little sunlight was able to enter the forest. But Evan had no problem seeing even in the dark.
The ground of the forest was muddy and was filled with water, that resembles a swamp. The water level of the ground was around twenty centimeters.
Splash -!
The sound of water splashing rang out as Evan moved forward. His senses were on full alert, and he was paying great attention to the water around him.
'There must be some monsters in this shallow muddy water' Evan thought while moving forward.
1. --// Leon And Sally - 1645 //--
2. --// Valery And Fin - 1620 //--
3. --// John And Camilla - 1590 //--
4. --// Kevin And Owen - 1510 //--
5. --// Amy And Gloria - 1490 //--
6. --// Evan And Mike - 1451//--
During the past five hours that he spent in the grassy plain, Evan killed many D and D+ rank monsters. And occasionally few C rank monsters.
He didn't get any silver chest in these five hours, nor he encountered any other student.
He got three more bronze chests in these five hours, but he did not open them and put them away in his shadow storage.
He was thinking about catching another student to open them for him.
Even though he tried his best he wasn't able to stay in the top five.
But he wasn't upset about it. Now that he arrived in the forest area which is near the center area of the island, he was sure that he will be able to catch up with other soon.
Because of the muddy water on the ground, Evan wasn't able to move very fast.
Suddenly Evan felt something and he immediately jumped up and grabbed a tree branch.
Swish -!
Just as he jumped up he saw a small shadow flashing past from the position he standing just a moment ago.
Evan who was hanging using a tree branch pulled himself up on the tree, and looked at the muddy water with narrowed eyes.
Even though sunlight was not able to pass through the dense tree he was still able to see the muddy water clearly.
Evan continue to look into the water for one more minute, but he didn't see any movement in it.
After seeing there was no movement in the water Evan once again jumped down from the tree, and continue to move forward.
After a minute Evan once again felt something, but this time instead of dodging he activated his dimensional shadow bullet skill, and tried to use the nearest shadows around him as a medium.
Since he can shoot five bullets at the same time, he was connected with five shadows that were nearest to him instantly.
Just as he the felt connection with the five shadows Evan's lips curled upward.
Among the five shadows that he was connected, only one was moving, and was just a few centimeters away from him.
The shadow was moving very slowly and was not making any ripple into the water.
After feeling the shadow was moving Evan instantly shot a bullet using it.
Guuu-!
Suddenly some bubbles came out from the muddly water along with red blood.
The water around Evan suddenly turned red and a fish that was twenty centimeters big, and had sharp teeth like piranha fish flooded up with a small hole at the center of its body.
"A swamp piranha" Evan muttered after seeing the fish.
The swamp piranha is a C rank fish, it is a very dangerous fish because of its ability to hide.
In water, it can easily hide, and with its sharp teeth, it can even destroy a C+ rank armor very easily.
+20 points
Evan looked at the message and nodded his head in satisfaction.
'There are indeed high-rank monsters in the forest' Evan thought and moved forward. In the grassy plain, he rarely encounters a C rank monster, but just after entering the forest, he encountered a C rank monster.
Just after moving for two hundred meters Evan suddenly stopped and looked at the tree not so far away from him.
On the tree, a C rank snake was colling around, and was looking at him with its deep green eyes.
Seeing the snake the expression of Evan changed, and he quickly stopped breathing.
'Swamp python' Evan thought seeing the monster.
The poison of the swamp python is very deadly, and can even kill a B rank hunter.
But the reason Evan's expressions were serious was because of the nature of its poison.
Using its poison the swamp python can even make the air in the surroundings poisonous.
'The bandits who attacked on us, during our first mission also had swamp python's poison' Evan thought when he remembered about the bandits who attacked on them during his first mission.
Even though Evan didn't see the swamp python spitting out poison, he still decided not to breathe near it, and kill it as soon as possible.
Evan used mana reinforcement, and shot toward the python.
When he was twenty meters away from the python Evan stopped using mana reinforcement, and activated the dimensional shadow bullet skill.
But he was surprised when he saw just as he used his skill, the python moved away and the bullet missed it.
Evan was surprised when he saw the python dodged the bullet, because it was just a C rank monster.
After dodging the bullet the python opened its mouth and green smoke started to gather in its mouth.
When Evan saw the python was about to use its poison he quickly used his ice chains skill.
Two ice chains came out from the ground binding the mouth of the python and stopping it from using poison.
Evan also moved forward and arrived near the python.
After coming near the python Evan used mana reinforcement again.
Just as he used mana reinforcement the ice chains skill was deactivated, and the python was freed.
But even before the python can do anything after being freed Evan's full power punch landed right at its body sending it flying backward.
Splash-!
The python crashed against a tree and fell into the water.
Evan quickly moved and arrived near.
Even before Python can stand up Evan once again punched it right at the center of its head.
Crack-!
The sound of bone cracking rang out, and blood gushed out as the head of the C rank python was split open.
Evan's strength was already higher than a normal C+ rank hunter after using mana reinforcement and the python was just a C rank monster.
Evan punched the python two more times and the life force of the python disappeared.
After killing the python Evan did not stop there and quickly dashed away from there.
He stooped after coming two hundred meters away and finally took a deep breath.
Because of its poison, Evan was not breathing during all this time.
But even before he can catch his breath properly Evan heard the sound of footsteps.
