Journeying through the forest I didn't notice anything new. From ti to ti various monsters jumped at attempting to assassinate , but I didn't even flinch.
I had a familiar now, which is able to kill everything around the area.
It just took him one bite to kill the monsters trying to hurt .
Enemies that would take a group of 3 players to handle were killed without moving a finger. The problem was that the wolf's mouth was bloody and he had a strange need to lick from ti to ti.
I had to use my abilities and intimidated Fenrir with various food restrictions to prevent him from turning into a bloody painting.
The journey I thought was going to be fun turned into constant stress and evading. I felt that near the city I already knew all the attack patterns of the wolf and could dodge his tongue with my eyes closed.
It wasn't strange, because most of the monsters had attack patterns; it was just hard to learn them. The higher the intelligence of the monster the attack patterns will be more random.
Wanting to test my theory I closed my eyes, acting oblivious to Fenrir's shining gaze.
Whoosh...
Suddenly Fenrir leapt towards Extending his tongue towards my face.
Fortunately I knew that it's going to happen and took a few steps back avoiding the bloody lick.
Fenrir didn't give up though and tried to lick for another 3 minutes when he finally got using his skill < Windy Steps >.
Eyeing him I wanted to sohow punish him, but couldn't quite find a good reason, because I left an opening to attack on purpose.
Grumbling under my nose I quickly went up to a river we've been following to find our way towards the new city. Washing my face I looked at my reflection.
It was slightly blurry and the horns were a bit visible from the hood, but my face was clean. I was about to stand up when I saw sothing shining at the bottom of the river.
1️⃣ Diamond Pearl [ Diamond ]
-- Rarely found in Nature
-- Upon consumption may give you so SP
~ 25 SP
My eyes slightly widened. To think I found a Diamond item randomly was beyond belief. Without any hesitation I dived into the river with an intention to make the loot mine.
Since my attention was drawn towards the pearl I didn't even notice that the river contained various fishes.
So of them were Carnivores, but luckily I wasn't bleeding, hence didn't garner any attention.
Diving deeper I felt Oxygen from my lungs quickly depleting. I could approximately hold my breath for a minute.
I felt water pressure press and my head began to hurt, but I suppressed the pain and kept on going deeper and deeper.
The world around started blackening, but I was already so close. Snatching the pearl from Mollusk I didn't expect its jaws to close. I also didn't expect them to have teeth.
- 12 HP
The Pain was bearable, but unexpected damage made open my mouth montarily and I lost so precious oxygen. Now I had low to none air and needed to resurface or else I'll drown.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
I used my legs to propel myself upwards. Black sports were appearing all across my vision signaling that I'll soon lose consciousness.
Luckily I managed to sohow reach the water surface. Taking deep breaths I coughed up water.
Slowly moving towards the shore I felt my hand bleeding. Suddenly sothing bit my bleeding wound. Lifting my hand out of the water I noticed a small fish with piranha-like features munching on my injured arm.

Even though its Status was nothing impressive, a particular line caught my sight before I started frantically swimming towards the shore.
< ~ Usually lives within groups of thousand individuals >
Since it can sll blood and lives with thousands of similar beings they could be able to eat within minutes.
I heard sounds of water splashing behind , but didn't want to turn back, because it might lose a valuable second.
While swimming I thought about my options and not finding any skill useful to fight in water cursed myself.
Calming down I couldn't help, but curse myself once again.
I've forgotten to collect the quest rewards from the mayor of Culg city. I clearly knew that the loot would contain an item useful for fights happening in water.
I swore to myself that I'll make a reminder to do that and buy so HP potions after this fight is over.
Now, I was very close to shore and could touch the bottom of the river. Sohow escaping to the shore I took a deep breath. Now the Piranhas couldn't reach .
Oh how wrong was I...
Whoosh...
Suddenly sothing jumped out of the water. Quickly turning my head you could see my face morphing from a surprised one into an angry one.
It was the sa fucking crocodile that've bitten my arm off.

Now that I was on shore I felt safer, since my pet would help . Unfortunately the situation was dire, because the creature before us was Elite after all.
The only positive thought I had was that I might be able to take revenge for my arm earlier than expected.
At first I was worried, because I didn't expect that the creature chasing was not Piranhas, but now I was even grateful.
Taking a step backwards I relayed a ssage to Fenrir.
' We need to bait the crocodile further from the water, so it can't escape '
Fortunately the monster wasn't that smart to notice sothing strange in our behavior and went after us.
