Chapter Fifty-Four: Sniper, Moonlight Rats in Action!

The light of the torches gradually approached, and the adventure party that had once been close to Ron slowly walked into the corridor where the Moonlight Rat's territory and the sewer level were connected.

It's the same general formation, with the warrior walking forward with a shield on his back, followed by a ranger, a thief, and a priest, but compared to the Iron Fist and God-given joint adventure squads, their equipment is much more rudimentary, and even the warriors who need it the most have only an oak round shield, and they are still wearing cowhide armor with patches on key parts.

However, from Ron's point of view, of course, it is hoped that the equipment of the adventure team is as bad as possible, and it is better to wear nothing at all.

"Forward!"

"Our goal today is the Ten Dan Tower!"

Giving an imposing command, the warrior as the leader of the adventure party took the lead and strode into the territory of the Moonlight Rats, and the vibration of their boots hitting the ground immediately forced a group of low-intelligence Moonlight Rats out of the tattered nests on both sides, fleeing in panic in the light of the fire.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of slicing through the air rang out in a row, and the ranger behind the warrior drew his short bow and rained down arrows, pinning most of the fleeing moonlight rats to the ground, and then began to breathe.

Then, it was time for the thieves in the team to come into play, as he deftly ran out from behind the warrior's shield, flashed the dagger in his hand, and at the same time moved his right hand together, and then cut off the tail of the moonlight rat that was shot by the ranger, and also picked up the ranger's arrows for the next use.

The adventure team is still at a low level, and there is a shortage of supplies, so it needs to be saved as much as possible.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

Warriors march forward to force out rats, rangers shoot and kill, thieves cut their tails and take arrows, and priests are in charge of guarding and healing, like a sophisticated machine, the adventure team repeats itself, each cycle can shoot dozens of moonlight rats, and the time is only a minute.

............

Lurking behind the tattered nest, the crossbow in Ron's hand was already on his claws, even as he watched his fellow clans being hunted in groups, Ron didn't move, he just waited, waited quietly.

"Rest put, let's have something to eat!"

Although the hunt is a non-dangerous rat, the continuous movement still consumes considerable physical strength, so when this chain of movements continues for dozens of rounds, the ranger's sore arm is no longer able to pull the bowstring.

But the harvest is also considerable, and there are already more than a dozen bundles of rat tails in the wanderer's backpack based on a hundred, and the harvest that can be exchanged is the usual week's income of the adventure team. So, laughing, the warrior captain stuck his torch into the gap in the wall, and the adventure party sat down on a dry ground and took out water, bread, and dried meat as dry as firewood.

Then, Ron saw an opportunity!

Aim, shoot, shift positions!

"Take!"

"Oops!

Used against humans, the Small-Hand Crossbow is not very powerful, but at close range it is enough to shoot through leather armor and pierce the skin.

As soon as he swallowed the dry bread with the water bag, the ranger in the adventure party felt a sharp pain in his knee joint, and the blood was gushing out, and he immediately fell to the ground on his feet.

"There are enemies!"

"Alert!"

The Ranger is attacked, causing the rest of the Adventure Squad to immediately drop their food. The warrior raised his shield and protected the Ranger and the Priest in the direction the bolts were fired, the Wanderer slipped into the shadows, and the Priest began to cast his magic, the glimmer of healing flickering on the Ranger's lap.

A few seconds later, the Wanderer emerged from where Ron had been, shaking the dagger in his hand to signal that he had not found anything.

Ron, on the other hand, had already shifted to a slightly farther position and aimed his crossbow at the loiterer's knee!

"Take!"

"Hmm!!"

A muffled grunt sounded, and the wanderer immediately felt the same pain as the ranger, but he was clearly more experienced than the ranger, and immediately bent down and dived into the shadows, disappearing.

But in Ron's eyes, he could see a dark red light slowly moving behind the warriors of the adventure party.

"Squeak!"

Forget it, let you go!

Switching directions again, waiting for the bolts to return to the crossbow case, Ron raised his crossbow and aimed it at the warrior's eyes, but sighed and switched the target, finally choosing the priest's knee.

The human body itself has some vital points, and the eye is one of them, and although the crossbow in Ron's claws is not very powerful, if it is shot in the eye, it can also cause serious damage.

And the priest who chooses to join the low-level adventure team is obviously not too high-level, and may not be able to memorize the three-ring magic technique such as [Healing Serious Injuries].

So, if Ron wanted to, he could even wipe out this group of adventurers with the small crossbow in his claws.

However, in the end, the mercy of the human body made Ron not a killer.

"Take!"

The sound of a third bowstring sounded, and the priest under the protection of the warrior fell to the ground, and at the same time, the wanderer slowly revealed behind the warrior.

"Captain! The enemy is too powerful! We can't even hold the bearing!"

"Captain, I only remember three [Minor Injuries] and one [Minor Injuries], no one can be injured anymore!"

"Captain......

"Retreat!"

The fact that he did not even see the enemy's figure and weapons made three of them incapacitated, which made the captain of the warrior depressed, but the situation did not allow him to act recklessly, and finally he had to give the order to retreat.

So Ron watched as the priest prayed in excruciating pain, sprinkled the glimmer of healing on the wanderer and on his lap, and then slowly backed away from the moonglow rat's territory with the wanderer under the protection of the ranger and warrior.

"Squeak!"

The first channel defense is successful!

Shifting his bearings again, Ron looked at the retreating adventurers, hooked the crossbow back on his back, and headed in the other direction of the sewers.

The connection between the Moonlight Rat Territory and the sewers is not just one, but three, and at this moment Ron has only repelled the adventure team in the first place, and there are two more places that he needs to guard!

As for the time, it didn't take long, as long as the assembled army of moonlight rats drilled into the tunnel, Ron had completed his mission.

............

"Damn, I didn't even see the shadow of the enemy!"

"Captain, don't be discouraged, after all, we also got a dozen bundles of rats, didn't we?"

"None of our wounds have arrows on them, could it be the same thing we sold to the weapons shop last time?"

Under the Priest's treatment, the adventuring team that walked out of the Moonlight Rat Territory has regained their mobility, but the Priest's healing magic has been used up, and most of their courage has been lost, and it is unlikely that they will re-enter the Moonlight Rat Territory to hunt rodents today.

So, they discussed softly, led by the wanderer, towards the exit of the sewers.

However, as they passed by the cockroach beach, a raging cloud of gum suddenly gushed out from the fork in the road, immediately engulfing the entire adventure party inside!
