The difference between monsters and ordinary creatures is whether magic stones are stored in their bodies.
Inside the monster's body is a magic stone made up of condensed magic elements, which is located in the organ near the heart.
Ordinary creatures like us do not have such organs.
Monsters store magic elements in the form of magic stones, and it is said that when hunting or fighting, they release the magic elements into their blood to strengthen their bodies.
Ordinary wild animals cannot be physically strengthened, so compared to monsters, even if their bodies are similar, monsters are far more dangerous than ordinary wild animals.
For short cat people, both monsters and wild animals are very dangerous, especially when collecting herbs, they don't want to encounter them.
Even among monsters, the goblin known as the little fish and shrimp is bigger and more powerful than me.
Ever since I realized I was reincarnated into a different world, I longed to be able to use magic and swordsmanship and become invincible, but the reality was cruel.
Now I am known as the little fish and shrimp among the little fish and shrimps, and the king among the little fish and shrimps.
Monsters, like wild animals, are wary of humans.
They know that humans can defeat powerful enemies through magic, weapons, and cooperation, so they will not break into villages easily.
They know that the village is the domain of humans.
If villages and towns are the realm of humans, forests and mountains are the realm of monsters and wild animals.
Even though some monsters will not break into villages, they will choose to attack humans at the right time in forests and mountains.
Once they step into the opponent's territory, humans will also be regarded as prey.
Therefore, when I go into the mountains and forests to collect herbs, I always pay attention to my surroundings.
I would carry wormwood that had been ground into powder and occasionally sprinkle it on the path I walked to prevent my scent from being traced.
I will try to avoid getting close to places with poor visibility and try to discover the other party's presence earlier than the other party.
Although bears attack people in China when they go into the mountains to pick bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, the chances of encountering them in this world are several times higher.
In fact, some people go into the mountains and never come back.
With this as a warning, as a warning, as a warning, I enter the mountains and forests.
On this day, I entered the forest early in the morning and only saw a mother and son of a deer. I came back safely without encountering any dangerous animals or monsters.
After washing and sorting the collected herbs on the river beach, someone suddenly called me.
"Brother Meow, you seem to be doing well recently."
The person who stopped me was Miguel, the grandson of the village chief. He was jealous because Horacio, who was the same age, was recruited by the Kingdom Knights in the "Awakening Ceremony" and lived a lazy life after returning to the village.
Now, he still has two companions, an older one and a younger one, namely the one-year-old centaur Dareth and the one-year-old bear man Kimble. They are idle and do not even go to school.
It is said that they often drink secretly and are really a bunch of gangsters.
Moreover, he said that I was living a good life, but in fact, I didn’t earn even one silver coin a day.
According to China's monetary concept, I can only smile bitterly when talking about a daily salary of 1,000 yuan.
"I am a hard worker."
"What are you laughing at me?"
"You feel laughed at because you feel guilty."
"Hey bastard"
Miguel winked at Kimble, who walked around the riverbank, preparing to flank me.
I continued talking to Miguel while keeping my hands on the bundles of washed herbs and putting them into the basket.
"Dareth, Kimble, go pick the grass for me."
"Leave it to me, boss. Don't play in the swamp, Kimble."
Although this guy doesn't sound like a "boss", there's no time to find fault with that right now.
Dareth and Kimble each spread their arms and slowly approached me.
It looked like they were going to catch me and throw me into the river.
Both of them are quite large races, and I am certainly no match for them physically. Moreover, I also carry a basket full of herbs, so a head-on conflict seems difficult.
The river is about 10 meters wide and about 1 meter deep. If I were pushed to the center, I might even be submerged up to my head.
"Step"
I carried the basket and continued along the river.
He took a step but didn't touch the water.
The strength of my empty attribute magic increases and I can create feet that support my body weight.
Although you can only create three footfields now, and your concentration will destroy them if you lose concentration, there is no other way now.
"Wow! This guy actually walks on water!"
"What's going on? What happened?"
By the time Dareth and Kimble were surprised, I had reached the middle of the river, but I couldn't let my guard down.
"That guy is actually using magic. Hey, Dareth, you can use magic too."
"Okay, I understand! In the name of the goddess Fatima, blow the horn of the wind!"
Hey, I'm not a devout believer, don't make fun of me with the name of the goddess.
The air released from Dareth's outstretched hands crossed the river and hit me.
Although my body was swaying due to the air current, I knew it was coming, so I wouldn’t be unable to bear it.
Concentrate, stand firm on the field, and take another step forward.
"What are you doing? Watch carefully. In the name of the goddess Fatima, light up the flames!"
When I heard Miguel start chanting, I immediately destroyed the foot field directly in front of me and recreated it.
Next to me, a fireball 50 centimeters in diameter passed by.
After the fireball passed, a heat wave hit.
If hit directly by a fireball, my proud hair would turn into crumbs.
"Damn it! Stop hiding here and there! In the name of the goddess Fatima, light up the flames!"
I again cancel the front footfield and create a new footfield, this time ducking to the left.
Probably thinking that I would dodge to the right again, the fireball released by Miguel deflected sharply to the right.
I thought I could cross the river after just a few more steps, but suddenly I felt a dull pain in my left shoulder, which disrupted my concentration and ruined my footing.
Fortunately, I had reached the shallows and my feet were a little wet but I didn't fall.
What was going on, I turned around and saw Kimble picking up rocks and throwing them at me.
The pain I felt just now was probably from being hit directly by the stone.
"Magician"
I immediately used empty attribute magic, causing Kimble to lose his sight.
I had tried it in the Ibro Adventurer Guild before and found this skill very useful, so I kept practicing.
The strength of the air cure has also been increased, and now I can switch to a shape that really weakens the opponent's vision, or a spherical shape that temporarily blinds the opponent.
The ball shape Kimble suffered from was supposed to be painful since I also worked on the speed in practice.
"This guy actually did this. Hey, Miguel. You don't have to make excuses. You actually used the name of the goddess Fatima. It's really ridiculous."
"It hurts, eyes"
I also used the blinding magic on Dareth, and then walked ashore, ready to go home.
I'm really worried about the future of the village if one of them becomes the village chief.
