Chapter 1134 Hunting Beasts In The Wends
??-----
The wends were a truly beautiful ce. We wandered around while watching our steps. There were grasses and giant trees everywhere. Mostly trees that grow near swamps and wet areas, with very long roots spread everywhere to absorb the most water possible.
There were certain areas covered by thin mist, creating an atmosphere of wonder and mystery. We couldn''t see the entire ce because there was mist everywhere, but even then, it was a beautifulndscape.
The tree where we were moving to was right in front of us, just a few kilometers from where we were. Pyuku seemed excited, pointing at the distance and constantly saying the Slimes were definitely there.
As everyone talked and discussed about various things, my father and I chatted about whatever.
"Whew, this ce sure is more refreshing and colder than the desert~ It is a nice change of pace I guess!" My father said. "If it''s a wend though, I bet there''s a lot of freshwater fishes and crustaceans around! I hope we can find some big fish and crabs around. Shrimp too if possible! Hell, I will eat a huge smander if we find one. They have such tender skin and meat."
"Wait, smanders?" I wondered, rising an eyebrow. "I don''t think I have yet eaten one! Are they tasty dad?"
"Of course! Well, there''s a bunch of different types though. Depending in their elemental affinity, their taste can vary greatly…" My father was a foodie just like me, so he loved talking about the beasts he has eaten. "Usually fire smanders have a smoky vor, and give a lot of fire elemental essence, can help your physique get stronger I think. Oh, but the wend smanders are the softest and tastiest. If you roast them well enough, you can even eat their soft skin! Their meat is so tender, more than fish usually."
Without realizing it, Aquarina and I started to drool. We had breakfast like four hours ago, so we were already getting quite hungry. "Really? Maybe we should definitely catch some then!" I said.
"Well this ce''s big and full of monsters, so it shouldn''t be hard to attract them." Aquarina said.
"We''ve suppressed our Auras, so it shouldn''t be a problem." Shademented behind his daughter. "In fact, we''ve gotten here just a few minutes ago and I can already sense some monsters slowly creeping in."
"They''re really energetic, huh? And they''re noting from just the grasnds. There must be many underground rivers where they move, perhaps even caves." Nepheline was sensing them with her deep connection with the earth.
"Wait, they''reing already?!" I asked.
"Ahh, I can sense it too…" Aquarina said. "The water is rising…"
SPLAAASH!
Suddenly, a huge amount of water exploded out of the ground, as several gigantic beasts surged, rushing towards us. They seemed to be three different types of monsters,ing on their own groups.
From what I detected, 25 Giant Green Swamp Smanders, Tier 7 Monsters. 33 Algae-Covered Giant Swamp Crab, Tier 7 too, andstly, 36 Wrathful Mudskippers, Tier 6 monsters. They looked really pissed! Were they some sort of territorial eusocial group of monsters that attacked anything that gets inside their territory because they perceive it as a threat?
The monsters here were sure oversized too. Well, anything in Cloudia is grossly oversized. These monsters were at minimum five meters tall. The Smanders were thergest at over ten! But they were smanders, just like dad said, they''re really tasty. And if I''m on vacation, I want to enjoy it by eating tasty food.
"Alright guys! Let''s hunt them!" I roared, stepping forwards and targeting the smanders in specific. My friends got slightly pissed I jumped into the action very quickly, thinking I was going to steal all their prey.
"Hey! Sylphy! Don''t you dare steal all the monsters for yourself!" Kevin roared, leaping into the air with a burst of emerald winds from his legs, rising his axe towards the nearest beast, a giant green crab opened their ws, aiming to tear him into shreds. "RAAAH!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With a furious roar, he hacked through the crab''s giant ws and then his two ws further descended into the crab''s head, shattering it into pieces and making the beast''s innards explode. The creature instantly fell, dead.
BAAAM!
"W-Woah, that thing was sure weak, just one hit? Seriously…" Zack wondered.
"That was Tier 7 monster though, Zack. You''ve just gotten really strong, hahaha!" Iughed.
My dragon wings led me to a trio of giant smanders. Two of them opened their jaws, greeting me with a rain of acidic saliva bullets. I shed them with my sword one after another, while avoiding a few others as I flew in midair.
I gave a burst of mes from my legs, pushing myself right above them before the third smander attempted to chomp mepletely. Pointing Scarlet downwards and imbuing her with my Yggdragon Aura of mes, I descended like a rampaging meteor.
CRAAASH!
A burst of mes roasted the three Tier 7 monsters in a single strike. The smanders, each one of ten meters of height, were nothing against this powerful, overwhelming attack.
"Oops… I think I overdid it; they got a bit too roasted." I sighed. "Well, the meat below should still be edible, right?"
"You overdid it!" Laughed Aquarina. "Sylphy, you have to be more delicate, so the monsters don''t end up into pieces. They won''t give anything good if you destroy them to that level!"
As she lectured me, my girlfriend kicked the shell of a crab and burst its entire body open, its innards exploding everywhere. A second after that, a group of mudskippers swarmed her, but she cut them all with a barrage of shing attacks using her pair of daggers, releasing countless shes of cold, icy water de aura.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Are you sure you should be telling me that when you''re just doing the exact same thing, Aquarina?" I asked, looking at the massacre she had unfolded.
"Oh…" Aquarina quickly realized it as well. "Hahaha…! W-Well, let''s be a bit more careful. I am still not used to how strong we''ve gottentely…"
"Okay, thest one to hunt a smander that isn''t destroyed into pieces gets to eat the burned ones!" I said, sprinting into action.
"Hey! Wait for me!" She followed behind.
