Adam slashed at the goblin beasts head, aiming to take it down in one go, and used most of his speed and power through that strike.

However, the goblin beast was able to quite quickly block the strike and push Adam back with the strength of his arm, while swinging towards Adam's side with his club. 

​​

Swiftly moving to the side, Adam dodged the club and the goblin beast didn't continue to strike, knowing that his speed was inferior to that of Adam.

[So it seems that the goblin knows how to fight and is waiting for me to strike, so that it can block and counter. Its speed is alright, strength is good, resistance also seems to be quite good along with its HP, but its Intelligence stat is clearly its weak point] gauged Adam from their single clash.

Staring at the beast's eyes as Adam moved in a circular direction, while the goblin beast did the same, he could see hate and killing intent that was stronger than he had ever seen in the dungeon.

[I guess the animosity between goblins and humans is much stronger than other beasts, but since this is a more realistic floor where the bodies of the beasts won't disappear, I might be able to use that to my advantage] thought Adam to himself as he bolted towards the goblin beast.

The shield strategy that the goblin beast guard was using was very effective against Adam's use of daggers.

Because of that, instead of continuing to use the same strategy, that could still work by would be very draining and much longer, Adam returned it to his inventory, then took out a spear.

"Your biggest mistake was assuming that I could only use the daggers and that they were the only weapons that I had," said Adam as he began rapidly attacking the goblin beast with rapid and powerful spear attacks.

He didn't use any skills or techniques, but still continued to push back the goblin beast and his spear was the perfect counter for the goblin beast's shield and club battle strategy.

With his spear, he could attack from a distance and much more easily get through the goblin beast's defence, but even with that advantage, it took Adam around 10 minutes to finally take down the goblin beast guard.

After dozens of attacks and spilling litres of its dark green blood, it finally collapsed to one knee and at that moment, Adam pierced straight through its head.

Adam had exerted a few points of energy and had to use quite a lot of effort to take down a mere goblin beast guard, even after all the training that he did that made him very powerful, so was anxious to see what was in store for him with the other beasts.

However, so far, Adam was happy with how quickly and easily he was able to take down the goblin beast guard and carried the goblin beast's body over his shoulder, after placing his spear back in his inventory and carrying its shield and club in his hands.

His clothes became drenched in the green blood that was leaking from the goblin beast's body and knew that it would alert other beasts if it was sensed on him, so carried the body back to the pond that used to be a safe zone.

He threw the body onto the small plot of land, then cleaned himself in the pond to remove the scent of stinky goblin blood that lingered on his body.

After that, Adam scouted the area and made sure to take down any of the goblin beast guards that he found in the nearby area, so that none of them came across any goblin blood that was left behind and reported it back to their goblin city.

[I am the hunter. This is going to be a slow and steady hunt in which I slowly take over their territory and make more space for myself to hunt, while also picking them off and gauging more about their power] said Adam to himself as he continued hunting goblin beast guards that he found around the forest.

Adam had a rough idea of where the goblin beast city was and also had a better idea of the size of the forest and the goblin beast city.

After he gathered all of that, he became even more anxious about defeating the goblin beasts as the size of the goblin beast city was incredible and bigger than all of the floors he had been on put together.

That meant he would have more space to escape and fight and also meant that it could be easier for him to sneak inside and around, however it also meant that there were more goblin beasts and most likely, more powerful goblin beasts.

The goblin beast guards that Adam came across all around the forest surrounding the goblin beast city were the weakest and most common goblin beasts and Adam knew that there would be hundreds of them in the goblin beast city, if not thousands.

He needed to kill all the goblin beasts, survive, complete a test and prove that he was a worthy hunter, all within a few days, as any longer than that, and his body in reality wouldn't be able to handle it.

Adam sat down recovering, wanting to make sure that half of his energy storages were full at all times and behind him was a pile of goblin beast guards' bodies that he had gathered on the plot of land that used to be a safezone.

So far, he had taken down a few dozen beasts that he had found around the forest and was planning to continue to do so for a few hours, knowing that more goblin beasts would be sent out from the city.

The goblin beasts in the city would probably realise that something was wrong and might send out more goblin beast guards or more powerful goblin beasts, but that was what Adam was hoping would occur.
