[During the entry inspection, you t a blonde girl who claid to be an intern investigator from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Although she was still a student, she was very pretty but had a pair of chanical legs.]
[Her legs were beautiful and looked just like real ones.
You had seen many chanically Modified People, but her legs were the most perfectly crafted you’d ever seen.]
[The young girl was very enthusiastic, helping you swiftly get through the security check.
She gleaned many stories of the wilderness from you, expressing her future ambition to beco a field agent tasked with protecting the city.
Although you were unsure what exactly a field agent did, you sincerely wished her success.]
[Once inside the city, you quickly t with the fur traders that your father had previously contacted and completed the trade.
The prosperity of Dawn City astonished you—the dazzling assortnt of goods and colorful advertisents filled the city with vanity.
However, you didn’t linger for long and soon departed.]
[At 24: The old man began to pressure you to marry, but you felt young and saw no need to rush.
The Wilderness Hunters seed to resent that you bypassed them to trade directly with the fur rchants of Dawn City, leading to several discordant encounters.]
[At 25: The exotic beasts around you were growing stronger, making hunting increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, the camp still had previous reserves to buy food from the consortium.
That winter, the camp was attacked by exotic beasts again, among which was a C-level Bitter Monkey.
In the crucial mont of your father’s battle with the Bitter Monkey, a drifter who had sought refuge in your camp a few years ago deserted his post, allowing the beasts to breach the camp.]
[The Wilderness Hunters also brought rcenaries to ambush your father.
In the end, he gravely injured the Bitter Monkey, killed the rcenaries, but also suffered severe injuries, and you led your squad to exterminate the beasts that had entered the camp.]
[At 26: For your cumulative achievents over the years, you were awarded the Secret dicine of ‘Talent Sequences 50: Martial Artist’, a D-level sequence, and you ascended to D-level, becoming one of the camp leaders.]
[At 27: The exotic beasts around you were growing stronger, but your father’s injuries never healed.]
[After a battle, father ca ho and embraced you deeply for the first ti in ages, kissing your forehead.
You held him tightly as you looked at his silver hair.
After that night, father never woke up again.]
[At 28: Father’s deputy took over as Leader.
He promoted you to his deputy because his Talent Sequence was not on the sa path as Father’s.
Hence, the C-level ‘Talent Sequences 99: Hunter’ extracted from your father’s body was handed to you, the only thing your father left you.]
[At 29: After the father’s death, the new Leader was only D-level, and the camp was increasingly unable to clear the surrounding exotic beasts as swiftly as when your father was alive.
After several caravans were repeatedly attacked, they began to stop trading at the camp.
Accompanied by the decline of the trading area, the camp’s inco decreased, and the fur escort, the only significant source of revenue, was also frequently attacked by the Wilderness Hunters.]
[It seed you should have gotten married by now, but the worsening situation of the camp left you no ti to consider your own affairs.]
[At 30: The old man died after a long life, having taught many.
But people didn’t have ti to mourn as worse news ca with the arrival of the last few caravans.]
[An exotic beast, suspected to be A-level, was migrating in this direction, and the camp was directly in its anticipated path.
After an all-night discussion, the new Leader decided to relocate the camp.]
[At 31: You had the option to move east or west, but ultimately chose to migrate east, as a particularly brutal and insane cultist nad Yezola had recently erged in the west, and you didn’t want to confront him.]
[The migration preparations took months, and you selected a new inhabitable location to begin the move.]
[However, just then, the Bitter Monkey that your father had previously wounded returned and attacked the moving party.]
[At 32: The new Leader died fighting the Bitter Monkey, scattering the entire migration party.
The remnants gathered around you, and you beca the new camp Leader.
From a camp of over a thousand, only a little over a hundred remained, with the Bitter Monkey still tenaciously tailing you.]
[You prepared to take the ‘Hunter’ Secret dicine left by your father, attempting to advance.]
But to be promoted from D-level to C-level, one must consu a Secret dicine during a specific ritual.
The ritual required for a “Hunter” to be promoted is: to hunt and kill more than five D-level transcendent beings within a day using techniques such as combat and traps, or to hunt and kill a C-level transcendent being.
You spent half a month to understand the nearby D-level exotic beasts, killed one of them, and set up traps to attract the others.
However, you didn’t attract other D-level exotic beasts; instead, an unwelco guest arrived, the “Bitter Monkey.”]
[Your mission is: to find a new ho]
[I wish you a fun ga]
“Ha——huff——”
He Ao leaned against a large rock, feeling his lungs strained and leaking like an old bellows.
Ronald’s life experience actually had more information than the previous individuals, as he had to study and also fight exotic beasts in the wilderness, at an age when others could study in peace.
A sharp pain surged from his chest, and He Ao looked down to see first a piece of blood-stained, tattered clothing, and beneath the torn fabric was a huge, flesh-blurred ‘paw print’.
Heavy footsteps sounded from behind, and He Ao struggled to move his body to look back, only to see a nearly three-ter-tall White Arm Giant Ape.
Bitter Monkey.
The state of the Bitter Monkey seed no better than He Ao’s; it was covered in blood, and as it moved, blood shining with a yellow glow spilled onto the ground.
But through Ronald’s mories, He Ao clearly knew that this was the true formidable form of the Bitter Monkey.
The Bitter Monkey’s na ca from its ability; the more pain and injury it suffered, the stronger its combat power beca.
Conversely, its life force was exceptionally resilient, so unless one could take it down in one strike, the longer the fight went on, the stronger it beca and the harder to defeat.
Originally, it was the fear of a possible instant death that Ronald’s father instilled in the Bitter Monkey, allowing him to scare it away after inflicting a serious injury.
Even among C-level exotic beasts, purely in terms of combat strength, the Bitter Monkey was considered top-tier.
Furthermore, this creature was not only powerful but also cunning.
It was first attracted by Ronald’s trap, getting so injuries, and then ca after Ronald.
He Ao activated his Super mory and gripped the curved knife in his hand, a weapon left to him by Ronald’s father.
At that instant, a loud crash resounded from behind, and the huge rock where he was hiding was directly smashed by a trendous force.
A gigantic ape’s paw swung from back to front, striking like lightning.
