Chapter 89: The Western Mountains, Hunter and Prey!

Alex makes his way toward the western mountains. They're relatively close to the village, but the towering trees obscure them from view.

After about twenty minutes, he reaches the foot of the mountains. Unfortunately, he doesn't find anything worthwhile along the way. "Seems like there's nothing of value near the village. Only once you leave the 'safe' zone can you expect to find anything worth grabbing."

Suddenly, he hears a desperate wolf howl. "Shit, not this again. Should I leave?" He hesitates, but his curiosity wins out. He continues toward the sound, wondering what might have happened to the five players who went out.

A few minutes later, he finds the source of the commotion. He's reached the base of the mountain chain, where he sees two dead wolves and three others, wounded and frantically gnawing on bloody corpses. Near the bodies, he spots them—five Bloody Chests. "They're dead! Well, these wolves look heavily injured, and two of them are already down. If I can drive them off or even kill them, I'll make another huge fortune!"

Alex approaches carefully, counting on the wolves' attention being occupied by the fresh kills around them. He considers his options and decides to pull out two grenades from his inventory. He has ten stocked already, so there's no need to hold back. Setting a timer for around four seconds, he lobs the grenades in a high arc. As soon as he lets them go, he immediately channels a "Thunder" spell, aiming to blast the area.

The spell hits the wolves, surprising them and even stunning two of them. Just a half-second later, Alex inwardly cheers as his grenades explode; while his timing wasn't perfect, it was still close enough. He glances quickly at his notifications: the two stunned wolves are dead, and the remaining one barely managed to escape.

Without hesitation, Alex pulls out [Mr. 5's .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver], carefully aiming at the disoriented wolf that, fortunately, is fleeing in his direction. With precise focus, he lines up the shot and fires a single, well-aimed bullet to the beast's head.

Wasting no time, he dashes toward the dead players and grabs the five Bloody Chests.

You received Bloody Chest (Player 6)

When he tries to store a dead wolf, he's hit with an annoying message: [Too big to put inside the inventory].

"Shit!" he curses, quickly drawing his [Sword of Pluto] and hacking furiously at the wolf corpses. Thanks to the sword's high quality and sharpness, it only takes him a minute to cut the wolf in half.
