Chapter 8 - To The Hunting Grounds

Kyson took out his phone and started looking for information. 

Soon, he found the news that he was looking for. 

Just this morning, the national government passed down an information called 'Guidelines for Players'.

At the top of it, there was a warning that says unregistered individuals are not allowed to fight with monsters, unless deemed inevitable by the circumstances. 

Kyson already saw this early in the morning when he woke up. 

But at that time, he still didn't have the energy to read and stopped after looking at this warning. 

This time, Kyson looked thoroughly at all the information in front of him. 

After a while, Kyson put back his phone in his pocket and digested all the information he just read.

"So the government already designated some places as hunting grounds, huh."

Hunting ground, a place where players can hunt down monsters. 

With the arrival of monsters on Earth, the threat of being attacked has been a worry to everyone. 

Because of that, the government built high walls around cities and towns to prevent monsters from attacking. 

Those places outside the walls are considered as wild areas. Certain locations in the wild area have been infested by a wild number of monsters and mutated creatures. 

And those are now called hunting grounds. 

Remembering the nearby hunting grounds around Porac City, the city he resides in, Kyson decided to head to the one suitable for his level. 

Without hesitation, Kyson started moving. 

20 minutes later, Kyson arrived at the city wall.

Made during the start of the animal and plant mutation, there stood a wall of 40 feet high made out of reinforced concrete and other materials.

It was made with the ability to withstand explosives, artillery, and other possible threats. Making it a valuable structure to safeguard all the people inside from all kinds of threats. 

With various surveillance at all corners of the wall, ensuring that all sides are being monitored to the utmost. 

This wall encompasses the whole city and there are 4 gates in total. At the north, northeast, southeast, and at the west part of the city. 

Each gate corresponds to a main highway towards another city except for the west gate which leads to the sea. 

Where Kyson is standing now is at the north gate.

The wild area around here is filled with plains and mountains. Even the sea is not that far away.

Kyson continued moving to the gate. 

Military personnel stand on duty at the city gate. Guarding the people from the threat coming from the outside of the city.

At this time, there are not a lot of other people at the gate. Aside from the military, there are only a few civilians like Kyson in this place. 

On the side of the gate, a machine that looks like a scanner could be seen.

That's for ID inspection based on what's said in the player guide. 

Taking out his Player ID card, Kyson pressed it lightly at the machine. 

Beep!

Ting! 

A green colored light appeared on the machine and the gate, the size just right for an individual to pass, opened.

Without hesitation, Kyson went through it. 

Immediately, the bright sun on the outside shone down on him and the smell of fresh air drifted to his nose. 

Suck! 

Ahhh~

Kyson took a deep breath and exhaled relaxed. 

Then, a smile appeared on his face. 

"Alright, let's start!"

Waving his hand, Kyson summoned his chicken from his Beast Space. 

"Chicky, come out!"

A vortex appeared in front of him and a chicken with an empty gaze jumped out from it before it disappeared. 

Looking at the chicken looking a bit stupid, Kyson smiled. 

"Okay, my safety is all on you, Chicky!"

Cluck! Cluck! 

Chicky let out a sound as if to respond to Kyson. 

Immediately, Kyson and Chicky started moving away from the city, heading to his target destination. 

Along the way, Kyson didn't meet any monsters and he arrived smoothly at the foot of a mountain 20 minutes later. 

"We're here."

Looking at the high mountain covered in trees and stones, Kyson looks serious.

From the player guide, Kyson knows that this mountain is called Green Mountain because of the lush vegetation. 

At the same time, this place houses various mutated creatures and even monsters. 

From mutant snakes to goblins, their presence was sighted. 

Knowing that, Kyson was vigilant. 

"Chicky, be alert to the surroundings. Immediately defend when there's an enemy."

Next, Kyson entered the mountains with Chicky in front. 

The grass around the mountain reaches up to waist and it's hard to see what's underneath it. 

Knowing that this will be the case, Kyson already bought a bolo knife on his way here.

Waving it around, he cut all the things on his path. 

While he was doing all this, Kyson suddenly felt chills run down his spine. 

As if by instinct, his body suddenly moved and jumped to the side. 

Hiss! 

On a branch of a tree, something moved and flew to where Kyson was standing earlier. 

When it landed, Kyson saw a 3 meter long black and green snake. With a thick body about the size of an adult male's thigh, it looks menacing. 

Landing in the ground, the snake realized that its attack failed. It turned its eyes to Kyson and bared its fangs at him. 

Hiss! 

Once again, it tensed up and lunged itself at Kyson. 

Seeing that, Kyson panicked. 

He hurriedly rolled to the side and managed to avoid the attack.

At this time, Chicky appeared and pecked the snake.

Pak! 

The attack hit the snake. 

However, this attack didn't cause any damage to it at all. 

With the pitiful strength attribute of Chicky, it'll be surprising if it can cause any damage to this fierce snake. 

But even though it wasn't hurt, this attack still attracted the attention of the snake to Chicky, helping Kyson. 

Hisss!

'A mere chicken dared to attack me?!'

'You're nothing but food to me!'

Anger can be felt from the snake's action. Red light flashed in its eyes, full of malicious intention. 

The next moment, the snake attacked Chicky. 

Whoosh!

It moved and bit Chicky with its sharp fang.

However, the usual scene that the snake expected didn't occur.
