Under the shade of large green trees, a small red color bird was flying with all her might. Around her neck was a strange-looking vine and 3 dangling golden fruits.
While the bird flew and cursed someone inwardly, four demi-humans were following behind her. They were throwing all kinds of attacks and skills on that pitiful bird but fortunately, the bird was dodging all of the attacks.
Of course, the bird was Bia!
Right now her expression was very ugly as she flew toward one of the nearest black cross mark with her life on the line.
After flying and cursing for 20 minutes, she arrived in front of a big brown bear that was 16 meters tall with its whole body oozing some kind of muddy liquid.
Bia looked at the Bear, she was scared. It was (-C)-Rank!
Her heart trembled seeing the huge bear before she hurriedly threw one of the fruit on the bear's head, the bear who was just quietly going to take a nap become angry. It instantly turn around and tried to locate the attacker.
On the other hand, the four demi-humans who were following Bia also appeared at the same place. They were going to attack Bia again when she threw two fruits on top of them and disappeared.
The four demi-humans become dumbfounded looking at the fruits. One of the demi-human hurriedly went to pick up the fruits, when a huge shadow enveloped all of them.
The demi-human who just bend down to pick up the fruit, saw the shadow. He slowly looked up and pissed his pants.
A huge brown bear, with blood-red eyes was looking directly at him. Strangely, on top of the bear's head a familiar golden fruit was stuck inside the muddy liquid oozing out from its body.
The demi-human who just picked up the fruits fainted on the spot when he looked into the bear's bloodshot eyes.
The other three standing behind him were also scared shitless and wanted to run away but their fate was already decided.
The bear first stepped on the fainted demi-human. A cracking sound was heard and the demi-human body turn into meat paste.
In the next second, the bear immediately swing his large heavy arm and injured the remaining demi-humans. Due to the impact, one more demi-human died on the spot.
The two alive demi-humans were also not in a good condition at all. Even if the bear left them alone, with their injuries they would die within a few minutes.
While standing at the end of their life, they didn't forget to curse the red bird. There was regret and unwillingness in their eyes. In the end, they weren't able to do anything and died under the bear's feet.
All of this happened within a few seconds, from the demi-humans arriving in front of the bear and the bear killing them. This was the power of a (-C)-Rank monster.
After the bear killed everyone related to the fruit, it humped and left without even glancing at the dead bodies.
It didn't eat the demi-humans bodies as low-quality food will damage its appetite.
When the bear walked away. Bia came out from behind some branches. She looked at the dead bodies with disgust, all of the demi-humans were turned into meat paste.
Without doing anything else, Bia hurriedly picked up all their storage rings and went back toward Kyle.
.......
Meanwhile, after the demi-humans left while following behind Bia. Kyle jumped out from the trees and appeared in front of the injured human and elves.
He asked them if they were alright. The elves were fine but the human was too injured to even stand up.
Kyle sighed and took out a healing potion and gave it to the human. The human took the healing potion and thanked Kyle.
After everyone relaxed the elves and the human introduced themselves.
The human was called 'Laigin'. He was from Kingdom Whiteland. On the other hand, 'Fian' and 'Kolain' both elves were from Kingdom Tersia.
After the introduction, no one said anything. Kyle wasn't the talkative type that's why he just stood in front of them quietly and an awkward silence filled the atmosphere.
The elves and Laigin also didn't knew what to say and seeing Kyle serious face they just kept quiet and started tending to their wounds.
All three of them were injured and knew with their condition there was no way they could survive.
Both of the elves were grateful toward Kyle but it was not like they could repay him with anything because just a while ago their storage rings were snatched by the demi-humans who attacked them.
After around 20 minutes, Bia returned with a gloomy face. She looked at Kyle with resentment filled gaze and threw all the storage rings she collected from the demi-humans on top of Kyle head.
Kyle smiled looking at her and hurriedly picked up all the storage rings.
The elves and Laigin also saw their storage rings inside the pile of the storage rings Bia brought back but they didn't say anything.
Right now, they were injured and Kyle seemed to be quite powerful because they weren't able to sense his rank.
On the other hand, Kyle looked at the 7 storage rings. He walked toward the three injured people and asked them to take the ones belonging to them.
The three of them looked at each other with surprise. The rings were expensive, also there were some precious items inside that's why they didn't expect Kyle to just return them the rings.
Nevertheless, they hurriedly took their own rings before thanking Kyle once again.
Kyle didn't bother with them anymore and after taking four rings belonging to the demi-humans he left.
Laigin and the elves were dumbfounded seeing Kyle fading image but after he left, they also left in different directions.
...
While walking, Kyle broke all the restrictions set on the rings.
Seeing the content inside the rings he frowned.
The demi-humans were too poor!
There was nothing inside the rings except food, some strange clothes and a few herbs.
Kyle sighed and after collecting the useful things from the storage rings he dumped everything out and emptied the rings before placing them on his fingers.
In the end, all four rings were high-grade rings. He could probably use them in the future.
Also, adding these four storage rings. Now he has a total of 6 storage rings.
On the other hand, Bia was still cursing Kyle. To pacify her anger, he took out some fruits and gave all of them to her.
After eating one or two similar fruits, those fruits would stop working on Kyle. That's why it was better to use them as a bargaining chip whenever Bia was angry.
