35 3rd tier Abnormal (1/2)

I stood on top of a tall tree and looked down at the dense forest with my Night Vision and searched for something to hunt.

But the forest gave me nothing.

'Looks like most of them have gone to the highway to eat the corpses there.' I thought and jumped down from the tree.

I landed gently on the ground and smiled at how sturdy my body had become now.

After evolving, all of my bones, muscles and organs have become far more stronger than before. Even my skin had become so sturdy that normal kitchen knives had no chance of cutting through it.

I felt the intense energy in my body and my smile became even broader.

At this point, I knew that I would be able to defeat a 1st tier abnormal without batting an eyelid. Even 2nd tier abnormals would not pose much danger unless they came to me in large numbers.

'Don't be so over confident Ashok.' Lily said 'You may have become strong right now but if you face a 3rd tier abnormal then you would die easily. You understand that right.'

I frowned a bit when I heard her words 'Yeah sure.' I said and ignored her warning. After all, I had never even seen a 3rd tier abnormal. Why worry about something that doesn't even exist.

I ran in the direction where I had guessed all the abnormals must have been.

The highway. Where the corpses of the 300 abnormals were waiting to be eaten.

And I soon realized that I was right.

Because, before I even reached the highway, I could already hear the sounds of thousands of Abnormals.

Hearing the sounds made by so many abnormals gave me chills even though I was so confident just a moment ago.

All the excitement I was feeling calmed down instantly as I looked at the large horde in fear. Although I might be able to deal with a few dozen 1st tier abnormals easily, if I was surrounded by thousands of them, then I would still lose my dear life.

I looked at them in fear but then I gave myself a few slaps and calmed down.

I took out the four 2nd tier crystals from the Black watch and ate them to increase my Agility.

Although they would only increase my agility by 0.2 points, that was still something.

'Lily, are you selling any 2nd tier crystals in the store?' I asked to confirm once again. 'I still have some white coins left you know'

'No.' Lily replied in a monotone voice.

'Well, I guess I'll have to hunt 2nd tier abnormals to raise my stats from here on out.

But before that.

'Show me the interface.' I thought and the interface was shown in my helmet.

I looked at the 'Enhanced Human I' beside my name and asked

'Oi Lily is there a Enhanced Human II, III, IV and V after this or what.'

'You'll know when you get there.' She said with a snort.

'Well… You're being helpful today.' I thought and then looked for any other changes in the interface.

Except for the 10% increase in all my stats and the 0.2 agility points I got from the 4 2nd tier crystals, there was nothing else that seemed to have changed.

'Oh wait! There is something else that changed.' I thought and looked at the 'None' in the 'Skills' section.

'Oi Lily. I use one more skill now, right?' I asked in elation.

What does one more skill slot meant. It meant that I would be able to use my mana to do even more awesome stuff now. I was burning with anticipation as I waited for Lily to answer, even though I already knew the answer.

'Yes. And why are you asking me if you already knew the answer.' Lily rebuked but I was already too excited to care about her scolding.

'Should I buy some awesome skill book now?' I thought but then I realized that I did not have enough white coins to buy even the cheapest skill book.

I sighed in my mind. Even if I had a lot of white coins, I would still take Rahul's suggestions before buying a skill book.

After all, blindly buying a skill book just because it's description sounds cool is something that only a fool would do.

I looked at the thousands of Abnormals in front of me and took out my sword from the Spatial ring.

After Rahul emptied the guns and ammunition in the spatial ring, I filled it up with food, water and other supplies which might help me live out in the forest for a few days in case something happened to me and I became injured.

There was also a Walkie talkie in there which would prove to be useful at emergencies.

I held my sword and scanned the dense group of abnormals in front of me.

All of the abnormals in the vicinity had gathered around the place which was once filled with corpses.

By now, all of the corpses had become food for the horde.

'300 corpses. That must meat would definitely have given rise to a few more 2nd tier abnormals in their horde. Right?'

'Yeah. No doubt about that.'

'Would there be any 3rd tier abnormal in that group.' I asked solemnly. If there was, then I have to be very cautious with my actions.

Because against a 3rd tier abnormal, I could only use the Agility Booster skill and hope that I would be able to escape in the 60 seconds that it'll give me.

'Might be. But it's highly unlikely.' Lily said.

'Well… I can only hope that there is no 3rd tier in the horde and that my hunt would not be disturbed.'

Or so I thought but when I studied the horde closely, I realized that the abnormals were standing in a densely packed group.

At this point, if I try to attack one of them, then the others will definitely come to know of presence. That would lead to them shrieking like madmen, and awake the horde

If I awaken the horde, then I won't be able to hunt anything for a few hours until they calm down.

'Need to lure them out and disband this tightly knit group.' I thought and searched for a few decent sized stone on the ground.

After I had collected enough stones, I started throwing them in different directions.

Although the sound was not loud, it was still loud enough to be heard be a few abnormals.

I could see a few groups of abnormals going after the sound. But after they walked a few steps in that direction, they stopped.

'Well… this is annoying.' I cursed in my heart and started to search for a few more stones.
