Holy Beast Saintess 30 Training The Senses

"Your hearing should be better than most animals, this should help you a lot in sensing incoming enemies. From now on it is up to you." Shadow suddenly dropped a lot of responsibility onto the little rabbit.

"Um.. okay!" Korah listened intently to the sounds of the forest picking up on slight changes and signs of movement.

It was his first time he was able to pick up sounds coming from different directions when his ear twitched. "c.r.a.p!"

In a nearby bush a brown blur shot towards both of them at a fast speed before arriving towards Shadow with its fangs ready to bite at her.

"Humph, you are seeking your death!" Shadow turns her body precisely as she lifted her back legs and sent out a fierce kick coated with black spirit energy.

The blurred figure crashed into her attack unable to put up much of a resistance and was sent flying backwards.

As it flew through the air, blood scattered in different directions until it finally hit the floor no longer moving.

"Good try but you need to notice any slight changes nearby, whether it be a broken twig or rustling leaves, sounds of footsteps, breathing and so on. Try your best to detect them and respond to them but at least you managed to notice we were under attack." Shadow proceeded to dig a beast core from the lifeless beasts body and then stored the body and core within her storage bag. "The next step is responding to ambushes effectively, that snake was poisonous so if we were bitten it would be difficult to dispel if I was not around so try to remember I may not always be around so don't rely on me all the time."

"Mm.." Korah nodded his head as he grew more determined as he thought to himself. 'It seems she already has a lot of experience already in this from the way she handled that snake, if I was alone I would probably be dead from the first attack if I got poisoned. She is using her own time to help me learn these things so I have to work hard not to disappoint her!'

They both spent the full day together as it got dark, they had encountered many ambushes during their travels.

As time went by and the sun went down, the little white rabbit grew more alert as he tried to search his surroundings for dangers.

A light sound was heard by the rabbit as his ear twitched.

A figure emerged from the dark environment at a fast speed, Shadow stood still as she smirked at the approaching danger.

Before the figure could reach her a small figure leaped off her back and bounced onto the ground.

As he hit the ground he hopped once more sending his small body hurdling towards the approaching enemies side.

Before it could turn and face the threat the beast let out a roar, trying their best tot urn their body to meet Korahs attack.

A layer of cold energy surrounded Korahs feet as he delivered a kick towards the beasts stomach and used the force to leap away back to a safe position where he could deliver another attack.

"Good, keep at it! That attack should of done a lot of damage and the ice energy will be spreading through their body slowing their movements." Shadow could help but praise his progress.

"Roar! Don't look down on me!" The enraged beast was of the same cultivation as them and felt as if his dignity had been challenged. "I will not lose to this little pest!"

"Ho… Did you hear that? He called you a pest." Shadow giggled as she mocked the beast.

Hearing the insults Korah frowned as he focussed on the beast wearily, the beast began to look increasingly bloodthirsty as it looked down upon him.

If it was Korah before today, perhaps he would have cowered in fear or lost his reason due to anger but now he did not show any fear or anger towards such an opponent.

While keeping alert he focussed on his surroundings and on his foe, he began to smirk also. 'I understand.'

The nearby shadow caught onto his thinking and nodded her head. "Don't worry, just focus on the fight."

Shortly after emerged another figure who shot towards the rabbit at a faster speed than the previous beast.

"Where do you think you are going?" Shadow emerged by his side silently, if she had not spoken perhaps he would not have noticed her presence approaching at all.

Her body was covered in a thin layer of dark energy as she quickly used her antler to knock the beast away.

The beasts were both jackals and while one was at the 3rd spirit gathering stage, the other was at 5th spirit gathering stage.

Their plans were to ambush other beasts weaker than them however they had not been prepared to deal with such tricky opponents.

The weaker jackal saw the other jackal be hit hard as he was sent flying in the air, clearly he had taken a heavy hit just then.

Perhaps he may even suffer from a heavy injury, who would have thought that a small rabbit and deer could beat the both of them!

"Uncle!" The weaker jackal cried out as he saw his uncle land on the ground and struggle to get back and his feet with great difficulty.
