บท 919: Part 2: Collecting monster cores

From MC's perspective:

As I began dissecting the massive corpse of the Sabertooth Monster, the pungent smell of blood mixed with the earthy scent of the forest floor. My hands moved with precision, carving through the tough, leathery hide.

Underneath layers of muscle and sinew, I finally found what I was looking for—the monster core. It gleamed faintly, pulsating with the last vestiges of the monster's life force.

I carefully extracted it, feeling its warmth against my palm before placing it in my storage ring. The ring hummed as it absorbed the core, a small but satisfying reward for my effort.

Leaving the monster's body to decay in the wilderness, I turned away, my mind already on the next target. I moved swiftly, the foliage rustling as I advanced deeper into the forest. Time seemed to blur as I hunted, each kill sharpening my focus.
