I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 302: Hunt

After looking at the surrounding scenery for a while, "Alright, let's move out. Guide, do your job." command Helia.

The guides begin to search and check the dungeon condition. Some of them even exchange information with the other adventurers. In this massive explored dungeon, the guide plays a vital role in not getting lost.

They can also determine the monster's location and distribution based on the little information. Therefore, people usually hire them to avoid getting lost and save time while exploring dungeons.

After gathering a little information about the current dungeon, they immediately draw the monster distribution on the map before discussing it with Helia. While they discuss which route they should take, Angus and everyone observes the surroundings.

Unlike the outside cool air, the environment feels damp and humid. Combined with the bright sun in the sky, the temperature is quite hot and uncomfortable for ordinary people.

Fortunately, the majority of people here are combatants and high-grade ones. Otherwise, many people will get heatstroke from these environments.

"Hm.. It's quite humid and hot here." said Ian.

"Right, there are also a lot of water elements in the air." said Axel.

"That means the fire element will not be too effective in this place. Make sure to not let your guard down in this place." said Angus.

"Sure." replied everyone.

After that, Vice-Principal Ellen and Helia finish setting their course. Then, everyone begins to move under the guide's lead. Since they are still near the exit, there are almost no monsters nearby.

All the nearby spawned monsters are killed immediately by the adventure as it is close to the dungeon exit. As they begin to venture inside the massive forest, they find many kinds of plantation and insectoid monsters.

The monster is handled by the adventurer and teacher easily while Angus and the others look around. They need to save their strength before reaching the destination place. Until they reach the destination place, their final examination is practically not starting yet.

After a few hours of venturing into the forest, they finally reach an extensive clearing. The adventurer began to set up tents and secure the perimeters.

After setting up the tent, "Alright, this will be our checkpoint and your final examination place for the next few days. For starters, each of you needs to hunt a certain amount of monsters or specific monsters."

"You will find your task inside these envelopes." said Vice-principal Ellen while distributing the envelope.

"You are also free to form as a group or venture on your own. If there is some uncertainty, inform the monitor teacher or go towards this place. Although there is a teacher that will monitor you, they will not move unless it is a dangerous situation."

"Now, you are free to do anything as you please but let me remind you every action is being evaluated." said Vice-principal Ellen before leaving Angus and the others.

"Now, what??" asked Axel.

"Well, Let's look at our monster target first." said Ian as he opened his envelope and found a sentence.

"Hunt fifteen second-grade monsters."

"Huh?? what is this?" said Axel as he read the letter.

"Hunt ten second-grade monsters."

"Mia, what did you get?" said Millie.

"It seems I also need to hunt fifteen second-grade monsters. What about you?" said Mia.

"I need to hunt ten second-grade monsters." said Millie.

"Jayna, what did you get?" asked Angus.

"I need to hunt fifteen second-grade monsters. How about you?" said Jayna.

"Hmm.. Twenty or something second-grade monster with a few specific monsters." said Angus nonchalantly.

"Ehh.. that's a lot." said Jayna.

"Yeah, It seems I need to venture on my own to hunt all of them. Anyway, please take care of Anna when I am gone." said Angus.

"Are you going alone?" asked Jayna.

"Yeah, don't worry, I will immediately find you after I finish my task." said Angus.

"Ehh.. We are not going together?" asked Axel.

"Angus is right. Since we are free to form a group or go individually, let's split up. It is also faster to finish our tasks this way." said Mia.

"Sure." said Ian.

Then, everyone began to scatter up. Millie and Mia still form a group like Jayna and Anna while the others go independently. As they scatter up, the teacher monitors and evaluates their performance.

While everyone ventures on their own, Angus is still rooted on his spot, closing his eyes. Currently, Angus is using Great Mana Echolocation to locate all the surrounding monsters.

'Hmm… The majority of them are first and second-grade monsters. But I can't find my targeted monster. Well, let's hunt them first.' thought Angus.

After that, Angus began to move in one specific direction. Unbeknownst to the teacher and others, Helia also decides to venture on her own, leaving the other adventure.

Not long after Angus moved on his own, he found a second-grade insectoid monster, Steel Ant. Without wasting any time, Angus shot an enhanced Firebolt towards its head. The two meters tall ant was immediately killed without being able to retaliate.

Then, Angus finds and kills a few more Steel Ant with an enhanced firebolt. After a while, he noticed something inside his perception.

"Hoo… Finally, find you." said Angus before walking in another direction.

On the way, he kept killing any monster that approached him. After a while, Angus finds a blue-colored gigantic beetle, Zap Beetle. It is a monster beetle that produces electricity all around its body.

"Hoo… You are bigger than I thought and third grade at that. Let's see how you handle this." said Angus as he shot a few enhanced Firebolt.

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The Zap Beetle gets hit by the Firebolt and produces a spark all around him. Each time it gets hit, the spark begins to run around wildly.

Looking that the beetle withstands Angus's attack, "Hmm… a spark on top of the hard defense. What a troublesome monster." said Angus.

At this moment, the beetle is enraged by Angus's attack and charges at him. Angus dodges to the side while launching a spell [2nd Circle - Earth Spike]. The beetle hit the earth spike directly and broke them.

"Ohh my.. it even breaks the earth's spike. What a hard shell." said Angus.

Angus didn't know that third-grade Zap Beetle is actually a unique monster that even fourth-grade combatants find difficult to kill.

It could only produce some low electricity if it is only a second and first-grade Zap Beetle. However, starting from the third grade, their lightning becomes so intense that it could easily kill people. Combined with the hard exoskeleton, it is a monster that is hard to handle.

After shooting a few more Firebolts, Angus noticed that he couldn't damage the beetle unless he used a high circle spell.

"Tch.. I really don't want to use this. But, it seems I don't have any choice. First, stop moving around. [2nd Circle - Entroot]" said Angus.

A thick root vine appears below the Zap Beetle and ultimately binds it on the spot. The Beetle struggles using its monstrous strength and lightning around his body, trying to get out from its bind. However, Angus already cast another spell [2nd Circle – Binding Chain].

A bluish mana chain appears and begins to bind the Zap Beetle. With the two spell bindings, its movement is completely restricted.

"Alright, now become my practice target. [2nd Circle - Fireball]" said Angus.

*Bom* *Bom* *Bom* Few big fireballs hit the Zap Beetle, but it didn't hurt him and only made his binding loosen up. However, Angus is not done yet. Manipulating the thick fire elemental in the air near the Zap Beetle, he immediately used Firecast [Firecast - 3rd Circle Fire Wyrm].

The Fire wyrm immediately enveloped the struggling Zap Beetle and roasted it. Under the binding chain and the Fire Wyrm grip, the Zap Beetle finally met its end after a few minutes of being burned alive.

"Fiuuhh.. What a tough monster." said Angus as he began to dismantle the Zap Beetle.

The Zap Beetle body is precious and could be used for various products. After a while, he noticed something in his detection and heard a few buzzing sounds from the air.

"Hmm… That's bear bees. There must be a nest around here."? said Angus while smirking as he followed the bear bee.

Usually, an ordinary adventurer will decide to leave and avoid the bear bee. Their number is a lot, and they are also categorized as high-grade monsters. An ordinary adult bear bee is a full-fledged third-grade monster. They are also territorial monsters and grouped monsters.

However, they also produce delicious, unique honey that could fetch a high price. The reason Angus decided to follow them is because of this honey. As a foodie, he likes few foods from this world. One of them is this bear bee honey.

Angus finally reaches its territory and finds its giant nest following the bear bees.

Looking at the number of the bear bee coming around its nest, "Hmm.. It should be enough to complete my final examination task." said Angus while grinning.
