John didn't return to the initial mountain, but to a different location where he found weaker Gold-rank Monsters in their young-stage and Silver-rank Monsters.
'The goal is to collect at least 100 Silver-rank Soul crystals as fast as possible.'
John wanted a speed hunt in an area with sufficient Silver-rank Monsters.
He found such a place.
It was at the northwest base of the second mountain. It was a valley with thick greenery and a river flowing through it like a snake.
It was approximately thirty kilometers wide but stretched 120 kilometers in an arc between the initial mountain he landed, and this second one.
In that valley, John designed his speed hunt as it was filled with Silver-rank Monsters in high numbers, while young or rarely adult Gold-rank Monsters were in low numbers.
That was because this valley was a great moving space for monsters, and also breed. It was a whole moving ecosystem of flying, ground, and water monsters.
