Chapter 211
Recognizing the danger before it was too late was one of the key aspects of survival .
Hunters generally relied on reports and on their senses to understand if an area was too dangerous or if a pack had rank 4 magical beasts among them .
That's why many of them just ignored the study of traces or weren't adept in that field, the senses of a cultivator were generally enough to recognize beings of such might .
Yet, having more information could only be considered an advantage, no matter how small it was .
"This is indeed surprising, I had to hunt in this area for a month before becoming able to recognize the rank of those beasts by their footprints . The academy is worthy of its fame . "
Ada praised before continuing with her questions .
"And, what do you think will it be the best approach against them?"
Noah's answer came immediately .
"In their reduced size, they are too dangerous because they can maintain the same strength behind each attack while removing the weakness of their huge frame . The only way to make them return to their normal shape is to kill each weaker beast in their pack . They will then instinctively feel the need to attract other similar magical beasts and would return to their original form to do it . Yet, that means that someone has to deal with the rank 4 elephant at full strength while the others vanquish the rest of the pack . "
The other hunters nodded at his explanation, that was precisely the method that they intended to use .
Kurt stepped on and proudly patted his chest .
"You have the necessary knowledge to be of use . Now, let's find the pack so that we can reassure you of our strength . "
The hunters resumed their march in the grassland .
There were no trees, only short bushes, so their field of view was particularly clear .
Ada became more friendly with Noah once she understood that he could give a second opinion to her guesses and they often exchanged thoughts on the magical beasts' topic as they followed the tracks left by the pack .
Then, in about half a day of walk, they finally met their target .
At a few hundred meters in the distance, fourteen gray elephants calmly walked over the plain .
The biggest of them was about two meters tall while some of them were so short that the grass almost hid them .
"The big one is the weakest of the pack, the rank 4 should be hidden in the grass thanks to its small size . "
Ada nodded at Noah's words and softly patted his shoulder .
"You stay here, we will take care of them . "
Noah nodded and could not help but feel a bit of excitement growing inside of him .
He was about to see cultivators actively fight a rank 4 creature!
Until then, he had always been forced to run away when he met one of them and the only time he had seen one of them die was inside Twilboia Cliff .
Also, if they managed to win, he could use the Blood drain spell to inflict the finishing blow!
