The Cursed Gamer, Book 2

307: Kurai's Journey to the West (1)

Unfortunately, Kurai didn't have pictures of the lost women, so it was hard to accurately search for them via these foolish animals.

Kurai didn't give up though.

—-

The days became weeks, yet nothing that big had happened in this new world Kurai found herself in.

'Mhm, perhaps that one incident where I and Papa beat two magical foxes count as "something big"? Then again, it was too easy.'

In short, everything in this world was too easy and didn't pose danger to her and her Papa—which was more of a reason why she was so frustrated that she hadn't found the lost woman yet.

Even after weeks of searching, Kurai hadn't found anything worth it until now.

Though, frustrating that she hadn't found a result to her effort yet, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't enjoying the process of bully- interrogating and asserting dominance over the animals that filled this world.

'Oh, how relaxing it is to be so powerful!'

Kurai's days were short, a bit frustrating, but overall happy. She breezed through the forests of the planet, interrogated the beasts, and killed them to level up when they failed to answer her.

Such was one day when Kurai was happily running through a forest, looking for the strongest creature around to bully it, but she wasn't expecting what was to come up next.

The strongest creature in the forest was a large chimpanzee, a 20 feet tall baboon with an idiotic face, who lived and ruled from within a broken castle.

Kurai didn't like how he looked at all, and that alone made her want to beat him bad.

However, when she stood in front of it after defeating all its minions, the old baboon inside the ruined castle who sat on a broken throne didn't want to move its butt.

"You won't fight?" Kurai asked in a shock. "What a puthy!"

The chimpanzee scoffed and said, "I heard about you, I know I can't defeat you. What's the point behind fighting you, then?"

"Oh. You can speak properly? Good point, by the way."

"...Yeah, you're growing pretty famous." The chimpanzee said. "I heard you are simply looking for some people? But are unable to find them?"

"That's true." Kurai nodded. "They look like–"

"Oh no, I don't need the description, I already heard them from the rumors. Thing is, I don't know." The chimpanzee shrugged. "Now, before you kill me, you may want to rethink and hear me out."

"Mhm?" Kurai, who had concentrated death energy on the tips of her claws already, tilted her head as her ears twitched. "Okay. Speak."

"Sage Animals." The chimpanzee spoke. "Just like you, in this world, there exist intelligent creatures who can draw the ambient Nature Energy within them. I learned to do so myself, years ago, that's how I am much smarter, stronger, and better than other animals."

"Mhm..."

"My point is, I am but a newbie yet I can do all this, and you as a cat with much chakra within you are so smart and strong too. So imagine the other animals like you and me, who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Naturally, they know a lot more than you and me."

"Ohhh! I see what you mean!"

"Indeed, indeed." The chimpanzee nodded. "I suggest, rather than doing meaningless massacres, you should find the location of forests where such Sage Animals live and ask them what you want to ask."

"Okay, thanks!" Kurai smiled. "By the way, you said you know how to draw Nature Chakra inside you right? Then someone must have taught you, right? Tell me the location of that someone!"

"Ah..." The chimpanzee hesitated, but when Kurai glared threateningly, he sighed. "Alright, alright. Though, be careful to not attack them if they don't know what you want to know. They are strong, they'll turn the table on you and kill you instead."

"Heh, sure. Just spill the name!"

The chimpanzee chuckled, looking at Kurai as if looking at a younger self of his own, before it began to speak. "Mount Huaguo. I myself never went there, as I met my teacher–Monkey King, Enma–when he was wandering the mortal world. So you might want to ask other animals around."

"Huh?" Kurai scoffed. "Useless."

Ignoring the chimpanzee, Kurai leaped in the air—physically running on the sky—as she made her way to the nearby mountains, in search of the Monkey King.
