Chapter 1482: First Prey (1)

Tang Shaoyang heard a burst of curses behind him. He chuckled and found a hiding spot. Through Chaos Eyes, he found seventy-three bear folks. Not just the bear folk, he also spotted the Calamity.

The forest seemed to be the home for more than one Calamity. One of them was Canae. The wolf-type Calamity. Even though it was a rank 1, the level of danger was far higher than the normal rank 1 Calamity.

It was a wolf type, of course, they were moving in a pack. The average pack size was around fifteen to thirty. On top of that, Canae was known as Forest Assassin. That was because of their camouflage ability, allowing them to blend with nature. Not just fast and nimble, but also a camouflage ability. That was how they gained the title of The Forest Assassin.

If a fifteen Canae jumped at someone out of their camouflage. It would be hard to come out unscathed. Unless the wolf chose the wrong prey to hunt. He knew them because The Cladeos Emporium put the wolf on the list.

The second calamity was in the monkey family. They were too tall for a monkey, but their skinny build made them look like a monkey. He did not remember about this big monkey in the material list. And he could not find their rank with Chaos Eyes....

"Wait...." He realized that [Chaos Eyes] was the upgraded version of Spirit Eyes and along with his other eye skills, "Maybe it will work this time...." He muttered in a low voice.

Tang Shaoyang used [Detection] through Chaos Eyes, and he discovered that the skill worked. It worked with his third-view vision. He tried with his Spirit Eyes before, and it did not work. He could not help but smile.

[???? — Rank 2 Calamity]

Even though it did not give him the name. It was enough to find their rank. He shook his head when he found out the big monkey's rank. The same with Canae, the big monkey moved into a group or more like a family. He saw the smaller monkey hanging on the bigger monkey's neck.

Even though the monkey did not have the camouflage ability Canae did. The monkey compromised at least twenty monkeys. Facing twenty of Rank 2 Calamity. That was not a good idea at all.

The third Calamity in the forest was the turtle calamity. It was the same one that he saw on the scroll at Duvrag Smithy. It was a massive tortoise that could reach up to fifty meters. Its shell looked like it was made of a metal with a lot of spikes. It had a tail with a spike at the end. The tail looked like a flail to him.

If he remembered it right, its name was Tortoine. The shell and its tail were precious materials. He heard from the barkeeper that Tortoine's meat was gourmet as well. From the head to the tail, everything was precious materials. If it was a over hundred years Tortoine, it might fetch a high price.

Tortoine was moving alone in the area where the trees grew sparsely. A doable prey for Tang Shaoyang, and it was a Rank 1 Calamity. Tortoine might be the right choice to test out how strong Rank 1 Calamity was.

The fourth Calamity he found was the most troublesome. He found them underground. After sensing the ground vibrated slightly from time to time. He checked underground of the forest and found the home of the fourth Calamity. Not just the home, he might find a kingdom of Calamity. The whole underground, deep to the ground, was the home of the thousand of Calamity.

The fourth Calamity was ten meters long. It had red fur, blade-like claws, and a blade-like tail. It had six pairs of blood-shot red eyes, and drill-like snouts made of red metal. Without a doubt, this mole calamity's body contained materials that a blacksmith might look for. But the risk of facing the giant mole was too big. Below this forest was the mole kingdom.

[??? — Rank 3 Calamity]

The moment he found out the mole was a Rank 3 Calamity. He immediately threw the thought of fighting them, at least not now. Maybe he would kill one or two or maybe three, but he felt like more than that. He might provoke the whole mole kingdom.

"Let's focus on Tortoine for now and find out how strong Rank 1 Calamity is," He looked for Tortoine who was far from the Sorc Clan's members. It did not take long for him to find the lone Tortoine. It was far from the Sorc Clan's members who seemed to focus on the monkey calamity.

Tang Shaoyang quickly arrived near his target. Tortoine was moving slowly, not that hard to catch up. To his surprise, the Tortoine crooked up his neck toward him. Just like he had found his target, the Tortoine also noticed his presence. It sent the stare, telling him not to disturb him with its black eyes.

"Our prey seems to know why we come here," He clapped his hand, "This will be our first time fighting as a party. Let's do it properly,"

Vandir, Zara, Avyn, and Afi were summoned. That was his formation for now. Doombringer was too big, and he was afraid that they might attract unwanted attention. It was the same for Baccara.

Even though he often summoned them in big fights. They always fought individually, but never they fought together against the same opponent.

"Do we need to assign a role?" Vandir turned toward Tang Shaoyang. Usually, a party would assign the role. But they never discussed the role.

"What role? We don't need a role!" Afi the Urosa Warrior jumped off the branch, landing in front of the massive Tortoine. The Tortoine in front of them was twenty meters long. It was still considered a young Tortoine, but It was for sure more than a hundred years old. The Tortoine under a hundred years old usually around five meters to fifteen meters.

Afi grinned ear to ear, looking at the giant monster. Even for Afi, The Tortoine was massive in size in comparison.
