Chapter: 669

Small colourful mushroom’s jutted out from decaying leaves and logs, and Jay was already sick of seeing mushrooms, so he casually kicked them over at his own leisure.

Unfortunately he couldn’t identify them, and after talking to hunters during his time as a butcher, he learnt that usually these bright coloured ones could kill a man with as much as a pea-sized bit of its flesh.

Still, he was feeling quite relaxed in the forest, as he knew there were no other beasts around. It was a quiet moment of safety, and perhaps, clarity.

Since the blood-vine bear had a large hunting area, he knew he was safe, as everything had already been slain by the blood beast.

Basically, the forest here was his to do as he pleased in. There were no dangers and no threats.

Of course, he still headed south, but he made his skeleton carry him on his throne with a more slow and relaxed pace, giving him a more comfortable ride on his throne.

His throne still used the same chair, though instead of cutting down trees for support-carrying poles, he simply crafted more bone spears.

Lying back on his throne, Jay felt free, in a sense. His eyes were lazily half-opened as he lied back on his throne, starting at the sun peeking through rare cracks in the forest canopy above.

After escaping the beast, he really just wanted to forget about everything for a moment, and he needed some time to decompress after all the events at Losla, but he still had notifications to read.

Jay nestled his head back lazily into his chair as he began to open them.

[Your skeleton had died] [Your skel…]

“Yeah, yeah. Tell me something I didn’t know.” he said, but he was even more annoyed with the next notification.

[3,240 Exp]

“…” Jay furrowed his brows, “Only three thousand exp for a level twenty-seven beast? What the fuck?”

His calm mood was turned sour, feeling quite annoyed as he sat in his throne.

“Surely there must have been more exp… where did the rest go? It doesn’t even compare to some other monsters I’ve killed – and without any help from…”

Just as Jay was about to say it, he realized what happened.

“I did get help… those damn mushrooms.” he frowned bitterly.

After a few moments, he seemed to come to his senses, “I guess without them, it wouldn’t have died anyway…” he shook his head.

“So this is what sharing exp is like.” he frowned, “it’s no wonder everyone else is so slow at levelling.”

Since Jay and the mushroom biomass were not in a party, the exp was not shared evenly – the majority of it went to the mushroom field, which did the majority of the damage.

“Maybe I’ll come back and kill those damn mushrooms someday… I’ll add it to my conquest list.” he nodded, “I guess first I will need to start a list anyway.”

“Maybe I can make some shovels and dig up the whole desert. With the skeletons it shouldn’t be a problem.” he smirked.

With his anger quelled, Jay checked a final notification.
