#7- Hog Wild!
Within the forrest, we were cleaning up!
we had found a a large clearing filled with rabbits, but these were NOT your everyday rabbits.
They stood on two feet, had the bodies of literal steroid addicts, muscles on top of muscles, hefting massive rocks like dumbells.

"Fuck...we're screwed!" cried Sasha.

I could feel the firey energy flowing inside, it was...indescribable.
But we couldn't just stop there, we continued on our hunt, in time Millie reached Level 2 and Sasha reached Level 3.
It turns out that Sasha's talent is an A-rank talent called Insect Synergy, it boosted EXP gain for her if her ally was also an insect.
For the next few hours we gathered 20 units of Rabbit Meat, 60 edible mushrooms, 60 Wild Apples, and 20 whole fish!
Unfortunately, not all of us were lucky, when we returned to the village, most of the other players were injured as hell!
They told us of a powerful monster in the south of the forrest, they had lost 4 players!
I was actually curious, by now, i was strong enough to fight larger foes.
We gave the others some Wild Apples and some fish, Sasha opted to stay behind, while Millie and i made our way to the south where the monster was.
Ashley, who was observing us followed us, her allies close by....
Chapter End.
