A bluish System screen popped up in front of his eyes.

Ban read its content and nodded satisfyingly seeing its effects. 

[Do you want to keep this Skill?]

[Yes/No]

Of course, Ban selected 'Yes'. The moment he did so, the Skill was instantly uploaded to his brain, including its information and how to use it. 

'I finally have a scouting or reconnaissance Skill!' Ban smiled thinking about it. 

Yet another Skill was added to his arsenal. If anyone knew of this, they would surely die of envy and jealousy. 

They would already be lucky if they have one, yet Ban actually has too many Skills at the moment, and it would also continue to increase day by day just by using Plunder Ability. Not to mention the System rewards that he would get if he completed some missions. 

As the cooldown was not that long, Ban decided to use the Skill, Echo Hearing to familiarize himself with it. 

He closed his eyes and activated the Skill. The moment he did so, he could feel his two ears heating up all of a sudden. The next moment, he felt as if he opened his eyes, but the truth was that he didn't. He only felt it that way due to the Echo Hearing Skill. 

It was as if he suddenly grew another eye, and this time, this eye could see every nook and cranny on the radius of 20 meters around him. 

It was because the Echo Hearing absorbs the vibration in the air, and transmits it towards the brain to process the information. 

Even with his eyes closed, with the Echo Hearing Skill, he could actually 'see' the bee resting under the stem of a purple flower, he could 'see' the normal ants traveling in massed below  the bed of flowers. 

The more movements there are around him, the clearer and the more accurate his hearing would be. 

'So this is how the Zombats feel when they use the Echo Hearing Skill.'

With this, it would be easy for Ban to locate his next target. He thought that this Skill could also be used during combat. It would allow him to 'see' the enemy's attack more easily as the Skill relied on vibration and movements. 

The duration was also not that long so he should utilize it perfectly during a battle in order not to waste it. 

He enjoyed the feeling of being able to 'see' every nook and cranny brought upon by the Echo Hearing Skill until its duration ended. It then went into a 5 minute cooldown which Ban didn't find that long due to the existence of Skill with greater cooldown possessed by him, Greed's main ability, Devourer, for example. 

Ban looked at the empty corpse of the Zombat for a second before he flicked it away to get rid of it. Although it no longer smelled due to Plunder including it on the absorbed essence, Ban still felt disgusted thinking about its rancid and corpse-like smell again. 

After discarding it, he did not jump down the branch yet and instead decided to stay there for the time being to rest. 

After a couple of minutes, Ban took the list given by Mr. Nian again so that he could choose which Beast he should target again next. 

Just like earlier, he sorted them out. He ignored those far away from him first and decided to focus on those Beast that was near him to save some time moving from distance to another. 

After a while, Ban finally chose his next target. 

It was not far away from his current location, with his running speed, he should be able to reach there in less than 20 minutes. However, he doesn't plan on running all the way there, instead, he summoned his exclusive mount, Tria, so that she could bring him there. 

After resting inside the Beast Tattoo, Tria had now mostly fully recovered. Using the Burst Mode for a minute would be possible and she would still have some spare energy left after the minute duration ended. 

Ban also checked on Eva and noticed that she was still 'sleeping' soundly inside the Beast Tattoo. He did not disturb her and ordered Tria to fly away in an instant. 

Next target was a Beast called Demon Mushroom. It was a Lord Grade Beast with the strength of an E-Elite Rank. 

This time, Ban did not overestimate himself too much and decided to kill the Beast with Eva. He could win over it but with some injuries, but with Eva's help, they would be able to get away scratch free. 

He also already estimated that by the time they arrived at the location where the Demon Mushroom was last spotted, he guessed that Eva should be able to fully recover by then. 

With Tria's normal speed, they should be able to arrive there in less than 15 minutes. 5 minutes less compared to him running at full speed. This 15 minutes estimation was also just due to him wanting to try his luck in finding special fruits again. If not for that and Tria flew at normal speed and no stops, reaching there in 10 minutes would surely not be a problem. 

Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the location listed on the list given by Mr. Nian. 

The trees were densely packed together, not even allowing a single sun ray to penetrate all the way to the bottom. The soil was wet and was devoid of any growing grass, making the place seem kind of hairy yet bald at the same time. 

Hairy with the densely packed trees, and bald in a sense that its wet soil doesn't have even a speck of grass present on it. 

After Ban confirmed that he was indeed in the right location, he ordered Tria to land on the wet ground.. He then wasted no time as he walked forward to search for the next target, the Demon Mushroom.
