Chapter 25: Improvents all around
The hunting ordeal only took a little under 10 minutes, with the last 5 minutes being added by Will who needed a longer ti to accumulate mana and kill his deer beast.
Lun did not get any credits or experience for the kills as he hadn't needed to participate once in the whole fight, which was good progress for the group as if this was the day before, he would have needed to intervene at multiple points.
He seed to take notice of everyone's strong points, as well as their weak points as he made a quick analysis of each person's fight due to his advanced ntal capabilities thanks to him previously being an AI for millions of years and all...
The archers did very well considering Shivi said he was only a hobby archer back on Earth and so nowhere near as good as those professionals, and Qu Quan took her bow skills to another level with the addition of her hawk eyes talent. Lun could only give them a thumbs up for their performance as they could be considered the most improved out of the group.
Jake was also very good but had a few flaws here and there that put him a notch below Qu Quan and Shivi as he let the deer beasts he was holding down get a hit in on his armour a few tis too many, taking away a little over a quarter of his health before he took the two of them down.
However Lun didn't take fault with him about it due to the fact that he was the only warrior participating in the fight. If Lun were to participate himself, Jake wouldn't have sustained any injuries whatsoever.
Will had many obvious flaws but those were to no fault of his own, as they all stemd from his limited mana capacity and limited spell usage.
Lun had already advised him to put all of his unallocated stats into intelligence to build his mana pool up. He could do nothing about his lack of spells for now but the group had a hunch that more skills would be granted to them if they levelled up enough.
Without stalling anymore, they continued their excursion through the forest and ran into another group of beasts a few hours later, this one being larger than the deer beasts at 9 total beasts but the highest level beast they found among them was only level 3, with the rest being level 2.
None of them had any struggles in killing this group of beasts as only Will had gained another level, reaching the sa level as the others and once more increasing his mana pool, able to cast three mana bolts before his mana ran out. This was a big improvent from the day before when he could only cast one.
However when the group ran into a lone beast that stood at a big gap from them at level 9, they put their newfound prowess to the test as even Lun had to join this fight as he wasn't confident he could take this on himself either.
After a drawn out battle, the had managed to take the beast down and provided Jake and Qu Quan a level up to level 4, with the others all being close to a level up as well.
Lun was now only less than a hundred experience off level 5.
They did sustain so injuries however, as Jake had taken a nasty bite from the bear like beast on his arm and for the first ti one of them had to drink a healing potion. To their surprise, the injury went away in less than 10 seconds as Jake exclaid that his Health which was half of his max capacity of 4500 had instantly filled up back to max.
There was no indication to how much HP it healed in it's description but from this, they knew it healed at least 2000 HP!
This was vastly better than Will and Lun's heal spell as that could only heal a little over 200 per cast, aning they'd need to perform the spell nearly 10 tis for the sa effect!
However upon using the potion, Jake seed to gain an instinctive feeling that should he use another healing potion a short ti after his first consumption, he would see no effect from it.
The group wanted to test this but didn't want to waste their limited resources and so could only take his word for it for now.
Any minor injuries anyone received from the fight with the level 9 beast were healed by Will and even Lun, as he had revealed his ability to heal as well now since the group already knew he had magic abilities too.
The group weren't too surprised at this revelation but were rather happy to find out that they had another healer, bringing their chances of survival up even more.
After this tough fight with the bear like level 9 beast, everyone was tired and exhausted from the constant fighting all day, and with the sun setting the group decided to stop their hunt for now and find sowhere to set up camp for the night before they set out again the next day to do the sa thing.
Soon they found a small clearing with a clear view of the starry sky above through the rare opening in the trees above them.
They decided to make camp here as it would be easy to spot any enemies if they approached due to the lack of bushes or think shrubbery around.
The trees were also too far away for any potential archers to get an accurate shot on the group so they deed it good enough to camp the night here. They set up a campfire in the open and started roasting so deer beasts over it that they had killed earlier that day.
With the addition of the bottled water that Lun revealed to them using the excuse that he looted it from the enemy leader, they were set for at least 2 weeks in terms of food and all they had to do was make sure they had a constant water source.
