with his back behind the wall. In this way he was safe from being surrounded. He only needed to worry about the monsters in front of him.
The dire foxes came in groups of 5 to groups of 9. As all the foxes in the group jumped to attack him all of them fell dead on the floor at once.

By using his battle abilities (Agility of the Horned Rabbit, Dual Wield, Armor Break of the Armored Armadillo), the dire foxes were only jumping into their own deaths. It looked like the foxes were jumping into a meat grinder.

Smoke was more than ready for them. The Dire foxes were hitting nothing but air. He was not the same man as he was before.
With the continued tsunami of dire foxes it only took 15 hours of continuous hunting before he reached 10,000 dire foxes.
+ Learned Ability: Cunning of the Dire Fox Passive Level: Beginner Level 1 Experience: (0/1,000)
After killing 10,000 dire foxes you have discovered how they perceive danger and escape it. Effect: Detects Enemy Presence from 10 meters away.
He had killed his 10,000th dire fox and gained its ability but now he was stuck. If he would step away from the wall he will surely be surrounded and killed.
Smoke decided to continue fighting until he can come up with a solution. It has been 1 hour and he still hasn't come up with an answer.
He decided to gamble on his fighting ability and stepped away from the safety of his wall. The moment his back was exposed, all the of the dire foxes surrounded him from all sides.
Surprisingly Smoke manage to dodge the attacks from the back. It was all thanks to his new ability: Cunning of the Dire Fox. Which allowed him to sense the attacks from the back.
Slowly Smoke managed to get to the entrance of the Fox Hole. He didn't even have the time gather the loot because of the relentless attacks from the dire foxes. He decided to come back again once he had acquired a basic job.
Smoke was really cutting it close inside the Fox Hole. He was starting to feel hungry and his stats were almost cut off by 75% due to hunger.
As he ate to restore his satiety he pondered on his found theories so far. The reason why the monsters of the plains did not show their abilities to users was because once they encountered them they would already have a basic job. You can switch to other jobs but you can never switch back to being a novice.
Smoke felt really special because of the rare abilities that he had acquired. Just how many users could there be who had started in a remote village outside of a main city. He made a mental note to ask Darius for some more information when he reached Nanahuatl Village.
His return journey took 19 days(ZECTAS TIME) as his movement speed increased a bit with the increased level of Agility of the Horned Rabbit.
