The Adventures of Clara

Hunting

Clara meditated to recover her mana that was almost depleted. He was quite surprised where in this dungeon his nature was as stable as it was in the southern region of the continent. With this he would be able to meditate without fear of being hit by a backlash.

The three most basic things in mediation are attitude, breathing/mind, and mind.

Use the most comfortable position to relax the body. Arrange breathing and sensory movements. Then focus your mind on one point.

After the three are successfully done then Clara began to absorb mana in the air through the respiratory tract. From the nose to the lungs, then spread throughout the body.

Little by little, mana will purify Clara's body. Vision, hearing, and other senses will be further sharpened. Some of it will also strengthen his body muscles.

After which it will return out through the respiratory tract. Some of it will remain on his body. After going through the purification process, the mana left behind belonged to Clara completely.

Breathe in, eject.

Breathe in, eject.

After repeating this process for dozens of times, finally where Clara was quite full.

Next the girl uses her mana to try to open the point of the base chakra located on the tailbone. Unmitigated, Clara immediately spent all her mana reserves in one go.

But still this much mana is not enough to open the point of the basic chakra.

Once her mana was once again depleted, Clara would again use the meditation technique to replenish it.

This cycle Clara did as many as three times before she stopped due to exhaustion.

"Seeing from anywhere this technique is truly amazing!"

Two, no, three birds with one stone.

Strengthen the body while restoring mana. Once full use mana to open the chakra point. Repeat. Profits.

Whoever invented this technique must be a genius.

"Muu ...."

If the calculation is correct, it will take another 20 cycles to open the base chakra point in his body and maybe 100 cycles to open the second point. Long enough, but let it go.

Clara woke up and moved her stiff body while observing her surroundings. Rhino and Lial are asleep. Meanwhile, Pedro seems to be getting ready to travel.

"Where is Pedro going?" ask Clara.

"Round for a moment. Wanna come?" bring him.

"Eh? It's nothing, is it?" Clara wondered.

He was afraid of being a burden to the man. But since Pedro himself invited her, why not.

The girl hurriedly put on the robe and took out her magic wand. Not forgetting he stuffed some healing potions into a small backpack.

Afterwards Clara went out of the cave with Pedro.

The light sting slightly blurred the vision of the girl who was too used to the darkness. It took some time for him to return to the outside environment.

"Where are we going? Please don't go to kamikaze territory anymore." Clara's body trembled slightly. Apparently he was a bit traumatized by that annoying bird.

"ahahaha. We're not going there. We're gonna go a little deep into the woods to find food."

"Oh. So we go hunting?"

"Fright."

Both of them walked deep into the forest. At one point, Clara finally realized that other than the free-flying birds in the air, they had found no other animal.

Yes, of course Pedro has said that the southern forest is a bird area. But it still seems strange if the inhabitants only come from bird species.

Though previously they met a herd of monkeys in the cave.

"This is why there are no other animals, ya~?"

"Indeed so. Dungeons usually only have one or two species. Even dungeons like this that have many variations of birds, reptiles, and primates are very rare" explained Pedro.

Clara was no wonder, anyway. If dungeons with dragons and phoenixes were everywhere, then mankind would have long since perished.

Pedro stopped the movement of Clara who was in a daydream. The hunter pointed at a tree far ahead. There, it looks like a baby bird is squeaking on top of its nest.

The girl tilted her head, not knowing what the man meant.

But instantly, the bird chick that was being observed disappeared by itself.

"Eh?"

Clara simply blinked and the chick instantly disappeared. The girl looked at Pedro for an explanation.

"There are other birds of prey snatching baby birds from the sky. Most likely the baby is already in the stomach of its prey."

"G ...."

The poor bird. But this is the law of nature, the strong prey on the weak. Even Clara herself almost died several times in just one day.

Here it seems to be the territory of a particular bird species. There are lots of birds in the trees around. Even on one tree there can be four bird nests.

For starters they take one egg from the nest where the baby bird was the night before.

Then they checked the birds' nests one after another. They avoid nests that have inhabitants and look for those that their owners are abandoning.

At the same time Clara took advantage of this moment to hone her tree climbing skills. This ability will definitely be very useful considering they will explore the forest.

"Ah. Meet one more ... This is different from hunting in the shadow of Clara, but let .. hm?"

From a wooden tree, Clara was able to see an unreasonably tall parasol tree. How tall is that tree? Probably about 500 meters.

According to Pedro, the tree must be a nest of phoenixes. That means the tree will be their next destination.

"Haa .. hard, nih, I guess," murmured Clara.

After collecting about twenty eggs and a bird, Clara and Pedro decided to return to their base.

"This is easier than Clara's guess. Clara, don't be arrogant. Remember your previous lesson."

Learning from his previous experience, Clara did not dare to lower her guard. At least until they reach the cave.

"AAAAC! AAKK!"

"Well, right ...."

Looking back, Clara saw flocks of birds fighting each other. On the one hand want to find prey while on the other hand want to defend their home.

Fortunately the two lovebirds had gone quite far so avoiding the battle was unnecessary.

"Come on."

Without further delay, Clara and Pedro resumed their journey home.

Honestly speaking, every adult bird in this dungeon was rather powerful. They have claws and beaks so sharp that they can make holes in Clara's body. Besides their flying speed is also difficult to follow by the eyes of amateur fighters.

Clara did not know how to defeat them if they had to face one on one.

When the two reached the cave, they saw Lial waiting at the entrance while crossing her arms.

It was like asking, "Where have you been?"

Clara tries to explain, "We're out going on a date"

"Find food."

But his explanation was immediately interrupted by Pedro.

"Sad."

Pedro looked at Clara with a strange look.

"Sir Clara, do you eat wild fruit? You're acting weird."

"Not polite, ya~ call Clara weird," replied the girl.

"From the beginning he was weird too" replied the newly wild Rhino from inside the cave.

Clara wanted to step on the man's foot but held back considering Rhino was not in top shape.

"Where's your condition?"

"That's good, it's."

After that they ate breakfast together. The dishes are eggs and meat of Pedro's game bird.

The egg taste is delicious. But bird meat is too bland. Very bland even after being seasoned. Clara wondered how it could taste her flesh this bad. Is it possible that during his life the bird has many sins?

Okay, stop the fussy thoughts.

After the meal they had a short meeting to discuss their next plan.

"Water's been refilled. We also do not have to worry about food. Everything is ready" Lial said.

"Then we'll start exploring the day after tomorrow."

Why day after tomorrow?

Because tomorrow Pedro will go first to determine the best route to the giant tree.

Clara felt bad for relying too much on Pedro. But in fact the person himself does not mind.

Pedro said, "It's my job."

Yeah, then what to say.
