NABC Chapter 1 Beast Abilities
Chapter 1 Beast Abilities
An Xiang Village.
In the still of the night, few villagers ventured out onto the dirt street.
Fear of being attacked by beasts from the nearby mountains had kept the villagers in the safety of their houses.
At the end of the street, outside the dilapidated wooden hut, a soft murmur could be heard.
A teenage boy lay on the dirt path outside the hut.
Even though he was skinny and frail, the teenage boy still retained hints of the handsome appearance he might have had if he were healthy and well.
"What happened... I was saving that kid from drowning..." Lin Fan opened his eyes and tried to make sense of what he was experiencing.
"Argh..."
His head suddenly throbbed with pain; flashes of unfamiliar memory invaded his mind.
When it all subsided, Lin Fan realized he had transmigrated.
He, a successful businessman from Earth, had transmigrated to this world with powerful sects and demonic beasts into a fourteen-year-old teenager with the same name.
This teenager lived in this village with his dad, but his dad had died recently, and he wasn't able to find food and money to survive.
From the teenager's memories, Lin Fan could still feel how cold the teenager's relatives were to him.
No one had offered to help him.
Lin Fan felt anger at the indifference.
But there was no belly of fire.
He could only feel hunger.
The teenager hadn't eaten for days and passed away from hunger.
That's when Lin Fan transmigrated and took over.
"I need to find something to eat..."@@@@
To thrive in this world, he must first survive.
He got up with much effort and slowly staggered back into his wooden hut.
Inside the wooden hut was nothing but a table and chair.
Lin Fan rummaged through all corners of the hut but there was nothing.
Not a single grain of rice.
"Maybe I can borrow some food from the neighbors."
Lin Fan thought about it but didn't do so.
His neighbor, Uncle Liu, had tried to help him as much as he could.
However, Uncle Liu wasn't doing great himself, as he had his own family to take care of.
He didn't bother with them, smiled and nodded, carrying on with his journey.
"Is he going to the woods to hunt?"
"I think so. It's dangerous with beasts roaming around at this time of the year."
"Yes, Liu had a near miss with a fire wolf last month. I haven't dared to hunt for food for the past few weeks."
"Look at him, so thin and frail. I don't think he has any other choice."
Villagers gossiped about Lin Fan's journey to hunt as they saw him heading towards the woods.
When he reached his hunting ground, an open field by the woods, he lay prone and waited for his prey.
He patiently waited.
A few moments passed before he saw any wild rabbits.
At first, when he tried to get close and pounce onto the wild rabbits coming out of their rabbit hole for food, the rabbits would always run away before he got close.
The result was the same as he tried several times with the same tactic.
Next thing he tried was to throw the axe at the wild rabbits.
The speed of the axe thrown wasn't fast enough against the rabbits with their enhanced hearing and speed.
"There must be another way." Lin Fan sighed and looked up at the sky.
A falcon was soaring in circles.
It was also hunting for rabbits.
That gave Lin Fan an idea.
Wait for the falcon to strike and he can prey on those wild rabbits being stunned by the attack.
So, he followed the falcon as it circled.
Whoosh!
The falcon then came down like a bullet and pounced onto the unfortunate wild rabbit.
Other wild rabbits nearby scattered and ran for their lives.
One of them came towards Lin Fan and then Splat.
Lin Fan's axe hacked into the wild rabbit's head.
The wild rabbit twitched its legs for a moment before it lay motionless on the ground.
A familiar sound then erupted in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Wild rabbit terminated.]
