Chapter 7: Let's target the elephant first
I hope that you will be able to entertain me well. And of course if you complete the task I have given you, you will be rewarded accordingly."
Jack snapped the book shut as he finished reading it. It was a small book but he had found the answers he was searching for.

Let's target the elephant first
"Now that I have found all of this information, I have quite some things to do." Jack told himself as he shifted his attention to the large blue cube with different characters engraved into it. Jack is a kind of man who always believed in his gut feeling. And in his gut, he knew that the stone in front of him must be something very important. While there was no mention of the stone in the book, he decided to trust his gut feeling. But it wasn't something small. He would have to do a lot of things in order to take the large piece of rock outside.
"I will come back for it later. First, let's go and grab the keys." Jack told himself as he Jumped up to the ceiling and grabbed the edge of the hole from where he had landed into the secret room.
Climbing up, he finally found himself in between the top of the hot pipes and other complex machinery. Climbing and top of the mountain might not be easy for normal people. But with Jack's improved physical prowess, it was an easy game for him.
After reaching the edge of the mountain, Jack took a break and ate the piece of meat he had brought with him. Unfortunately he had already drunk all the alcohol he had brought with him.
"So whom should I attack first ?" Jack asked himself as he contemplated his odds against all the animals he would have to defeat to get what he wanted.
"The tiger is out of options. It might be the only beast who stays alone without any companion, but it was definitely the strongest out of all of them. There is no way I would be able to defeat it without some special preparation.
Then there was the bear. It has only two subordinates. But the three of them always stick together and work in perfect coordination.
The third beast was that pack of Gorillas. Those were the most prideful animals. Tricking them would be easy but I would need a lot of preparation.
That leaves me with the only choice of those giant fury elephants. Even though they have packs like the other two beasts, there were only four of them. Not to mention the strongest out of those who were not that strong compared to the other three. That means…. "I will have to target those elephants first." Jack muttered to himself not knowing that those elephants were actually called mammoths.
"In terms of strength, those four elephants were not much different from the three bears. But they lack teamwork. In fact, I had the easiest time escaping those four beasts compared to the other three groups.
But I will need to make some special preparations." From the underground secret chamber, Jack did not bring anything outside. The gold coins couldn't be used and he would rather leave those things safely in that secret room instead of bringing it back to the wilderness. After a lot of contemplation he decided to check the threat level of the mammoths and went towards the outer layer of the island through their territories.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !" Jack screamed as he was tossed into the air by one of the elephants. His physical strength was no match for these beasts. His sword was dealing damage to their body. But the beasts were so big that the wounds were not slowing them down. Instead they were just irritating them even more. Hiding in the forest didn't save them since the beasts could easily temple over trees and crush rocks under their feet. And running away is a pipe dream. Since despite their size and weight, their speed was no joke. They could easily run faster than him. With all these odds stacked against him, Jack was trying to save his life from the angry mammoths. While the mammoths were enjoying their play with Jack. They were folding him like a ball and throwing at each other to play catch-catch with each other.
Finally by the time he reached his humble house he didn't have any piece of his makeshift clothes on his body. He was completely naked, battered and bruised.
"Dam those overgrown elephants ! I am definitely going to kill them next time ! It is not about those damn keys anymore !" Jack was angry. But there is little he could do in that situation. But acting as a ball, Jack learnt quite a few things about those mammoths. First of all, the trunks were their greatest strength. They were very strong and had a very thick hide compared to the other part of their bodies. It was so thick that normal slashes by his sword didn't work on them at all. They also had a very great sense of smell. It was an obvious thing considering how long their trunks were.
But at the same time, the tip of their trunks was extremely sensitive. True it cannot be pierced until he directly thrusts his sword inside their nostrils, but these parts were very touch sensitive. Even though he cannot pierce them or cut them, he could easily make them roar in pain when he hit them at the tip of their trunks. Their other weakness was their eyes. As long as he erases his own scent, they wouldn't be able to find him as long as he hides in their blind spot. Unlike the bears and the gorillas, those mammoths often stay alone. Unless one of them calls for the other, they would not interfere with each other.
He had collected all of this information after getting beaten by those overgrown elephants. So he was going to repay the favour by using it to defeat them. And no one will be able to stop him.
