[At 23: After a winter’s preparation, you set out in the spring, covertly following a map acquired through trade with a caravan, to bypass areas frequently visited by Wilderness Hunters and reach Dawn City.]

[During the entry inspection, you met a blonde girl who claimed to be an intern investigator from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although she was still a student, she was very pretty but had a pair of mechanical legs.]

[Her legs were beautiful and looked just like real ones. You had seen many Mechanically Modified People, but her legs were the most perfectly crafted you’d ever seen.]

[The young girl was very enthusiastic, helping you swiftly get through the security check. She gleaned many stories of the wilderness from you, expressing her future ambition to become a field agent tasked with protecting the city. Although you were unsure what exactly a field agent did, you sincerely wished her success.]

[Once inside the city, you quickly met with the fur traders that your father had previously contacted and completed the trade. The prosperity of Dawn City astonished you—the dazzling assortment of goods and colorful advertisements filled the city with vanity. However, you didn’t linger for long and soon departed.]

[At 24: The old man began to pressure you to marry, but you felt young and saw no need to rush. The Wilderness Hunters seemed to resent that you bypassed them to trade directly with the fur merchants of Dawn City, leading to several discordant encounters.]

[At 25: The exotic beasts around you were growing stronger, making hunting increasingly difficult. Fortunately, the camp still had previous reserves to buy food from the consortium. That winter, the camp was attacked by exotic beasts again, among which was a C-level Bitter Monkey. In the crucial moment of your father’s battle with the Bitter Monkey, a drifter who had sought refuge in your camp a few years ago deserted his post, allowing the beasts to breach the camp.]

[The Wilderness Hunters also brought mercenaries to ambush your father. In the end, he gravely injured the Bitter Monkey, killed the mercenaries, but also suffered severe injuries, and you led your squad to exterminate the beasts that had entered the camp.]

[At 26: For your cumulative achievements over the years, you were awarded the Secret Medicine of ’Talent Sequences 50: Martial Artist’, a D-level sequence, and you ascended to D-level, becoming one of the camp leaders.]

[At 27: The exotic beasts around you were growing stronger, but your father’s injuries never healed.]

[After a battle, father came home and embraced you deeply for the first time in ages, kissing your forehead. You held him tightly as you looked at his silver hair. After that night, father never woke up again.]

[At 28: Father’s deputy took over as Leader. He promoted you to his deputy because his Talent Sequence was not on the same path as Father’s. Hence, the C-level ’Talent Sequences 99: Hunter’ extracted from your father’s body was handed to you, the only thing your father left you.]

[At 29: After the father’s death, the new Leader was only D-level, and the camp was increasingly unable to clear the surrounding exotic beasts as swiftly as when your father was alive. After several caravans were repeatedly attacked, they began to stop trading at the camp. Accompanied by the decline of the trading area, the camp’s income decreased, and the fur escort, the only significant source of revenue, was also frequently attacked by the Wilderness Hunters.]

[It seemed you should have gotten married by now, but the worsening situation of the camp left you no time to consider your own affairs.]

[At 30: The old man died after a long life, having taught many. But people didn’t have time to mourn as worse news came with the arrival of the last few caravans.]

[An exotic beast, suspected to be A-level, was migrating in this direction, and the camp was directly in its anticipated path. After an all-night discussion, the new Leader decided to relocate the camp.]

[At 31: You had the option to move east or west, but ultimately chose to migrate east, as a particularly brutal and insane cultist named Yezola had recently emerged in the west, and you didn’t want to confront him.]

[The migration preparations took months, and you selected a new inhabitable location to begin the move.]

[However, just then, the Bitter Monkey that your father had previously wounded returned and attacked the moving party.]

[At 32: The new Leader died fighting the Bitter Monkey, scattering the entire migration party. The remnants gathered around you, and you became the new camp Leader. From a camp of over a thousand, only a little over a hundred remained, with the Bitter Monkey still tenaciously tailing you.]

[You prepared to take the ’Hunter’ Secret Medicine left by your father, attempting to advance.]

But to be promoted from D-level to C-level, one must consume a Secret Medicine during a specific ritual.

The ritual required for a "Hunter" to be promoted is: to hunt and kill more than five D-level transcendent beings within a day using techniques such as combat and traps, or to hunt and kill a C-level transcendent being.

You spent half a month to understand the nearby D-level exotic beasts, killed one of them, and set up traps to attract the others. However, you didn’t attract other D-level exotic beasts; instead, an unwelcome guest arrived, the "Bitter Monkey."]

[Your mission is: to find a new home]

[I wish you a fun game]

"Ha——huff——"

He Ao leaned against a large rock, feeling his lungs strained and leaking like an old bellows.

Ronald’s life experience actually had more information than the previous individuals, as he had to study and also fight exotic beasts in the wilderness, at an age when others could study in peace.

A sharp pain surged from his chest, and He Ao looked down to see first a piece of blood-stained, tattered clothing, and beneath the torn fabric was a huge, flesh-blurred ’paw print’.

Heavy footsteps sounded from behind, and He Ao struggled to move his body to look back, only to see a nearly three-meter-tall White Arm Giant Ape.

Bitter Monkey.

The state of the Bitter Monkey seemed no better than He Ao’s; it was covered in blood, and as it moved, blood shining with a yellow glow spilled onto the ground.

But through Ronald’s memories, He Ao clearly knew that this was the true formidable form of the Bitter Monkey.

The Bitter Monkey’s name came from its ability; the more pain and injury it suffered, the stronger its combat power became.

Conversely, its life force was exceptionally resilient, so unless one could take it down in one strike, the longer the fight went on, the stronger it became and the harder to defeat.

Originally, it was the fear of a possible instant death that Ronald’s father instilled in the Bitter Monkey, allowing him to scare it away after inflicting a serious injury.

Even among C-level exotic beasts, purely in terms of combat strength, the Bitter Monkey was considered top-tier.

Furthermore, this creature was not only powerful but also cunning. It was first attracted by Ronald’s trap, getting some injuries, and then came after Ronald.

He Ao activated his Super Memory and gripped the curved knife in his hand, a weapon left to him by Ronald’s father.

At that instant, a loud crash resounded from behind, and the huge rock where he was hiding was directly smashed by a tremendous force.

A gigantic ape’s paw swung from back to front, striking like lightning.
