Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 243 Hunting

“Halt. You can’t enter the forest.”

The trio stopped in their tracks as they heard this. Why were they stopped? They had the same thoughts.

The guards walked upto the three and said looking down at them, “do you have your pa.s.ses? I am sorry, I can’t allow you entry to the forest if you don’t.”

“Oh.” Lith was surprised that it was something this trivial. He took out his adventurer pa.s.s he had made in Langerhan city and showed it to the guard.

“Okay, you can go. What about you two?”

“Alright, you can pa.s.s. The fee is a single bronze coin to enter the first level and five bronze coins for the second level.” The guards said.

“Will we have access to the first level if we pay for the second level?” Dennis asked.

“Yes. There are no additional fees needed.”

Dennis nodded and gave him five bronze coins. Lith and Ralph followed and the trio finally entered the Kunlor Forest after flying for a bit.

They checked the maps and found the nearest area where a lot of monsters were present but the number of adventurers was low.

They found a nest of hydras in a small lake closest to them and went towards it.

Coming close to the lake, they found the hydras to be just a few meters in height, swimming peacefully in the waters. They seemed to be of Tier 1 and were definitely babies. They would make the three no money if they killed them and only some weirdos who liked hydra meat would buy their bodies.

These Tier 1s were also unbothered by the things going on around them. Just a few hundred meters from them, Tier 3 and 4 hydras were fighting adventurers. The water was rippling and wasn’t calm but the baby hydras were still swimming peacefully in it.

“Let’s not bother with the hydras. Their cores don’t sell for much and Tier 3 and 4 hydras are available very commonly everywhere.” Lith said.

They decided to go somewhere else and finally found monsters they could hunt. It was a herd of killer sheeps. These sheeps were carnivorous and could kill any monster or beast upto Tier 6. The wool of these sheeps, along with their teeth, horns, and meat, was something that was in demand all time.

The meat was juicy and succulent. It also had a slight sweet taste and it was very nutritious to children who haven’t awakened their cores yet.

The three decided to hunt them. Lith took out his gauntlets, Dennis took out his axe, and Ralph had a sword.

They charged into the killer sheeps herd and fought with it. The sheeps “baaa-ed” constantly in an angry tone. They didn’t like intruders, especially not the ones who were trying to attack them.

The sheeps had the ability to spew out fire from their mouth and had sharp horns, teeth, and their hooves were tough. Dennis’s axe and Ralph’s sword had a difficult time when it hit the horns of the sheeps.

Their hands would go numb when they hit a Tier 3 or above sheep’s horns or hooves. Thankfully, their weapons were very durable and st.u.r.dy and didn’t break. As for Lith, he had an easy time since he had the gauntlets.

He clawed directly at the sheep’s stomach or neck and killed them in an instant. Plus, he had his prowess equivalent to a Rank 6, this herd of sheeps that had no sheep of prowess more than Tier 4 was no problem for him.

It took them ten minutes to kill around a hundred sheeps. The high prowess ones were mostly killed by Lith and when they were done, he caused damage to the lower Tier sheeps and helped Dennis and Ralph have an easy time with them.

The sheeps didn’t drop cores, as they weren’t monsters but beasts. There was hardly any difference between the two. The only way to know if a creature was a monster or beast was to search for their cores. If they dropped it, they were monsters. If they didn’t, they were beasts.

But then again, high level magical beasts have Magic Cores and this makes things even more confusing. The distinction at that time is made via rationality. Beasts were more intelligent than monsters at higher levels and by years of research and fighting them, people had a big catalogue made, speaking about the strengths and weaknesses of these creatures.

Of course, the books that contained these weren’t available to everyone and they were very expensive. Not everyone could afford it.

The trio had to spend an hour collecting the important bits from the sheeps. Thankfully their rings had a preserving property in them and this ensured that the meat wouldn’t rot.

“What are the standard prices of these?” Lith asked the two.

The two shrugged.

“No idea. Never bought them myself, Your Highness.” Dennis said.

“Same.” Ralph added.

“Check the prices online. You can find it there, I think.” Lith said to the two.

They checked it and found the price to be ten bronze coins for a kilogram of killer sheep meat.

“What? For real? Isn’t that too cheap?” Lith said. It was a killer sheep, mind you. Not a normal sheep. It was also a little rare. How come it’s this cheap?

“The prices you checked are the local ones, Dennis. Turn on VPN and check it in other countries and continents.” Ralph said.

“Ah, you’re right. Locally it would be cheap, that’s obvious. The Kunlor Forest isn’t too far away and people can come hunt killer sheeps as much as they want.” Dennis understood and followed what Ralph said.

“Oh! Oh! It sells for 25 bronze coins in Howl Garden city. That place is in the Leone country of the Werewolf Continent.” Dennis said happily.

Ralph hit Dennis’s shoulder with the side of his palm and said, “idiot, look at the price in countries from the same continent. We can’t afford to travel to other continents to sell our things. It’s expensive.”

“Oh, you’re right.” Dennis nodded and checked again. “Ah, found the place. There’s a demand for this meat in Uklov, near the coastal areas. The price is twenty bronze coins.”

“Good.” Ralph nodded and said.

“Alright, we’ll go sell it tomorrow morning when the market opens up. We should hunt as much as we can today.” Lith said.

The two nodded and they went back to killing monsters and hunting beasts.
