As the unknown entity neared the hut, reaching what seemed like just outside the gate, a distinct sniffing sound pierced the air. The confirmation came swiftly – this entity was not human. The realization heightened the tension, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to the already precarious situation.

As the head of the Razorlop breached the hut's gate, Evan's instincts kicked in. Swiftly, he executed a downward slash with his newly acquired sword. Simultaneously, the Razorlop, sensing the sudden movement, attempted to retract its head, but the speed of Evan's strike left no room for escape. The blade connected with precision, splitting the creature's head into two pieces in a visceral display of swift and decisive action.

Evan felt the tangible sensation of slicing through flesh, and his eyes captured the gruesome aftermath as the lifeless body of the Razorlop crumpled to the ground, its once-threatening presence now silenced. The weight of the moment lingered as he absorbed the reality of his swift and effective counterattack.

After receiving the experience, Evan let out a sigh of relief, a weight lifted from his shoulders as a sense of accomplishment settled in.

Sensing the scent of blood in the air, he realized that more monsters might be drawn to the location. With this realization, he concluded it was time to abandon the safety of the hut and make a swift departure.

Carefully peering outside the gate, he surveyed the surroundings, shifting his gaze from left to right. To his horror, on the right side, another Razorlop was engrossed in a gruesome feast on human flesh. Shocked, he swiftly pulled his head back, realizing the perilous situation that awaited beyond the safety of the gate.

Contemplating the situation, he thought, "I should wait for this Razorlop to finish its meal." With this decision in mind, he settled into a patient wait, choosing caution over hastiness in navigating the perilous surroundings.

His decision to wait was strategic; the Razorlop, not more than 200 meters away from the hut, posed a direct threat if he were to emerge. Understanding the creature's agility from previous encounters, he foresaw that a direct confrontation might prove perilous.

As he waited, he pondered on allocating points wisely. Realizing the Razorlops' speed, he decided to invest in improving his own agility, hoping it would better his chances of survival in the upcoming encounters.

 Opening his status window, he swiftly allocated all his available points to increase his agility by 2.

With the surge in agility, he experienced a sensation of his surroundings slowing down a little, although in reality, it was his newfound speed, both physical and mental, that created the illusion. The enhanced agility brought a heightened awareness, making him feel more attuned and responsive to the world around him.

Remaining patient and vigilant, he waited for fifteen minutes before cautiously peeking again to check the Razorlop's status. To his horror, the creature was still there, not in an active state but resting peacefully; it didn't appear to be asleep, adding a layer of tension to the situation.

Retracting his head, he took a moment to ponder, debating the option of confronting the Razorlop directly. Gathering courage gradually, he realized the increased speed granted him an advantage. In this perilous world, he acknowledged the necessity to face challenges head-on and mustered the bravery to confront the resting creature, determined not to succumb to fear in this new, dangerous reality.

With newfound courage, he cautiously peeked, surveying the surroundings for potential threats. Confirming the absence of other monsters nearby, he ventured outside, directly facing the resting Razorlop. Observing that the creature remained unaware of his presence, he contemplated slipping away unnoticed. However, realizing the importance of facing challenges, he resisted the urge to flee, understanding that avoiding this confrontation might hinder his ability to face stronger foes in the future. Convinced, he took a fighting stance and purposefully stomped his foot, intentionally drawing the Razorlop's attention.

At the slow sound of the stomp, the Razorlop turned its head, spotting the human standing in its direction. Upon seeing the human, the Razorlop swiftly stood up and charged towards him, ready to launch a sudden attack.

Witnessing the Razorlop's rapid approach, Evan noted its swift pace as the 200-meter distance rapidly diminished. The creature closed in, each moment bringing it nearer and nearer.

Observing the human's lack of movement, the Razorlop accelerated its pace, presuming an easy prey. It closed in swiftly, confident in its approach towards what seemed like an unsuspecting target.

Evan's gaze remained fixed on the approaching Razorlop as the distance rapidly diminished: 50m, 40m, 30m, 20m. When the creature was just about 10 meters away, Evan sprang into action. Swiftly moving his left leg forward, he executed a rapid horizontal slash with impressive speed.

Caught off guard by the sudden movement, the Razorlop attempted to alter its trajectory, but the proximity and the gained speed made significant changes impossible. The human's unexpected action had the creature struggling to evade the impending strike.

In the next instant, the Razorlop's perspective turned upside down. Its head flew, landing 7 meters behind Evan, while the body, propelled by the force of the attack, skidded and came to a stop 5 meters behind him. The swift and precise strike had swiftly incapacitated the once-threatening creature.

After Gaining experience, Evan cast a glance back at the lifeless Razorlop, a sense of accomplishment evident in his eyes. The defeated creature marked a triumph in his journey through the perilous world.

Empowered by his success, Evan's confidence grew, yet he remained cautious. Once again, he meticulously scanned his surroundings, ensuring there were no lurking dangers despite the newfound sense of assurance. 

Now, His immediate short-term goal was to locate the nearest city, He can't stay in jungle forever, but the challenge lay in not knowing the direction. 

However, a solution presented itself as he noticed a riverbank just a few meters behind the hut in the middle of the vast Amazon rainforest. 

Upon sighting the river, recognition dawned on Evan – it was the Negro River. Memories of his previous tour flooded back, and he recalled his guide mentioning that distinguishing the Negro River and the Amazon River was as simple as noting the color of the water.

AN : In the Amazon Rainforest, one way to recognize rivers is by observing the color of the water. The Negro River, for example, is known for its dark, almost black water, while the Amazon River typically has a lighter, more sediment-laden appearance. This distinction can help travelers identify the different rivers in the vast and diverse Amazon region.
