Sword God in a World of Magic

After waiting for a couple more minutes, Shang noticed that the dangerous feeling didn't return.

Apparently, the Vanishing Snake had vanished.

Shang put the beast sack back on his back. It still was rather light since he only harvested ears and feelers.

By now, the sun was near the horizon. Soon, it would be night.

'I should be able to find a lot more Pest Cats in the night. I've already found quite a few during the evening when they are hiding, which means that I will find even more during the night.'

'This definitely isn't like Duke Whirlwind's garden. Duke Whirlwind's garden didn't have that many actual beasts. Most of the things in Duke Whirlwind's garden were animals.'

'When I came to this world, I thought that the God put me in some dangerous area, but only now do I realize that he really had put me in some sort of tutorial area. If he had put me in this forest, I wouldn't even have survived a day probably.'

'The most dangerous beasts in Duke Whirlwind's garden had been the Pest Cats, and there hadn't even been that many. Sure, there have also been some more powerful beasts, but they were rare. On top of that, the Ice Spear Bear was completely isolated in the lake and only appeared in the winter. If I didn't search for it, I wouldn't have found it.'

Shang continued towards the northeast, and soon enough, night hit.

As soon as the last glimmer of light vanished, the entire feeling of the forest changed, and a familiar feeling appeared in Shang's heart.

This was just like back when he had been in Duke Whirlwind's garden at night.

It was a feeling of pressure and unknown. It was like every nook and cranny could hide a powerful beast.

Shang knew that he wasn't in much danger since he counted as basically the strongest entity in this forest, but he still felt a bit nervous.

His instincts simply told him that he had to be careful.

Shang continued traveling towards the northeast and killed a couple more Pest Cats. Sure enough, Shang found one nearly every five minutes as soon as night hit. Luckily, since he was at the Peak of the Soldier Stage, his eyesight was pretty good.

However, even that wouldn't have been enough to find that many Pest Cats.

So, how did Shang find so many?

Because Shang found something interesting.
