Sword God in a World of Magic

The snake wasn't that big. Sure, it weighed a couple hundred kilograms, but Shang could pull that weight with relative ease. It was still annoying, and it definitely slowed him down, but Shang didn't need to constantly take breaks.

Luckily, the beast sacks were made to handle such weight and even more. They were way better than the shitty garbage bags on Earth.

When Shang put the corpse away, he decided to go to the north.

Why?

Because he had already met a General Stage beast.

Since Shang had always gone towards the northeast, he couldn't be close to the Wasteland, which meant that the General Stage beast didn't come from there. Obviously, it came from the Empress Cobra Zone.

So, instead of directly traveling towards the Empress Cobra Zone, Shang decided to go directly north, towards the border of the Empress Cobra Zone and the Ice Wyvern Zone. Different kinds of elemental Mana were mixing on the border, making the area less interesting to more powerful beasts. Powerful beasts preferred Mana that had their Affinity.

Shang had the corpse of a General Stage Vanishing Snake, but he doubted that this corpse would last him forever.

He obviously needed more Contribution Points, and since he was already here, he decided to continue hunting.

He wouldn't waste any time this night.

After Shang had traveled for five minutes, he noticed that the green eagle was no longer following him. Apparently, it had had its fill, and it was no longer interested in using Shang as bait for Vanishing Snakes.

Jumping from tree to tree became harder with the added weight, and Shang definitely made more noise than before, but he could still hunt.

Shang had the speed advantage over nearly every other beast, and when he saw one, he simply dropped the beast sack to charge after it.

Since night had finally arrived, Shang found way more Pest Cats.

In fact, Shang found one nearly every three minutes, which was crazy in his mind.

'No wonder they're called Pest Cats. They are literally everywhere!'

Of course, it was mainly thanks to Shang's Darkness Affinity that he was able to find all these Pest Cats. Pest Cats moved very stealthily in the night, and they were great at hiding.

However, since they all attracted Darkness Mana, Shang could find them rather easily.
