Chapter 25: Cockroach Hunting

"Bang la la la la~!"

The sound of the roaring water sounded not far away.

Since it is a sewer, it is natural that all kinds of sewage will flow from Ascatla, and then flow down the intricate waterway to the seashore or underground.

At this moment, the location in front of Ron was such a sewage outlet.

Sewage from Ascatra carries a myriad of household waste and decaying objects, which can also be mixed with accidentally left behind objects, as well as human or other creatures that have died as a result of kidnapping, murder, and murder.

When all this accumulates somewhere in the sewer due to the change of the water flow, it will attract countless creatures from the sewer to gather here, forming a small dark cycle.

The cockroach river beach is such a place, but most of the creatures that reproduce and forage again are large and small cockroaches, hence the name.

Except for the faint light at the entrance to the upper sewers that can be connected to Askatra, or the torches of kobolds, lizardmen, and other races that live in the sewers, the rest of the sewers are covered in deep darkness.

However, most of the creatures that live in the sewers have dark vision and dim vision, or their sense of smell and touch is extremely sensitive, which can replace the function of the eyes, so the absence of light does not affect normal life.

"Squeak!"

It's here!

Quietly lurking behind a slightly larger piece of rubble, Ron untied the crossbow from his back, and with his powerful front paws firmly holding the crossbow, Ron began to aim.

"Kiln~!"

"Click, click!"

In addition to large and small cockroaches, there are also some strange creatures that feed on cockroaches, such as ooze monsters, and various lizards, toads, centipedes, etc., which are not included in Ron's hunting list for the time being.

Moonlight Rat's dark vision was sixty feet, far more than the twenty-foot range of the Small-Hand Crossbow, ignoring the creatures that looked different from the cockroaches, Ron aimed at a cockroach that was flicking its long whiskers and eating happily at the best range of the Small-Hand Crossbow, and then pulled the trigger.

"Take!"

There was no light in the darkness, but the friction with the air caused a dark red beam of light from Ron's dark vision to shoot out and stab the cockroach hard...... Originally stayed on the ground.

Didn't shoot!

Cockroaches are not fixed targets, although they can't be seen in the dark, but their sensitive long whiskers can detect faint air flow fluctuations, so at the moment when Ron's crossbow arrow was about to be fired, the cockroach sensed the danger, and immediately turned its limbs and brushed off with Ron's crossbow arrow!

"Squeak!"

Just a little bit!

Sure enough, a moving target is harder to hit than a fixed target!

The vibration caused by the missed crossbow arrow immediately quieted the entire cockroach river beach, and countless cockroaches stopped, wiggling their tentacles, alert to the direction in which danger appeared.

And this situation has given other creatures that prey on cockroaches an opportunity. In Ron's dark vision, many dark red spots of light representing cockroaches suddenly disappeared and merged into the larger spots next to them, apparently being eaten!

However, Ron was not discouraged by the missed shot, he quietly lurked behind the rock, waiting for the missed crossbow arrow to automatically return to the crossbow box, and then mentally calculated the amount of advance, and poked his head out from behind the rock with his crossbow in his hand again.

Most of the sewers have no wind, except for some of the places where the exit and entrance are connected to the air flow to form the wind, and the crossbow itself does not take into account the range of the fire, so Ron does not need to consider the change in wind direction and trajectory.

Just slightly off, adjusting the crosshair aimed at the center of the cockroach's body to the direction of the head, Ron immediately shot the second arrow!

"Take!"

This arrow, hit!

Although the cockroach sensed the change in the airflow caused by Ron's arrow, and its movement speed was extremely fast, its movement must follow the guidelines of the direction of the head and could not be changed, so Ron adjusted the second arrow of the crosshair's center to hit accurately, penetrating the cockroach's abdomen fiercely, nailing it to the ground, even if the six long legs tried to move, they still could not drag their body out of the confinement of the crossbow arrow.

"Click!"

"Click, click!"

"Gollum!"

The imprisoned cockroach gave the other predators a chance, and before Ron's crossbow bolt disappeared and returned, a lizard the size of a cat sprang out from the side, biting the head of the cockroach that Ron had shot and wounded, chewing on it, and then swallowing it with a grunt.

"Squeak!"

Snatched my prey!

Gritting his teeth, Ron waited for the crossbow arrow to return, and aimed fiercely at the lizard's body, but seeing that the lizard's surface was even darker red than that of a cockroach, Ron finally wisely changed the target of the small hand crossbow to a cockroach that was eating quietly.

According to common sense, the body of a lizard is larger than that of a cockroach, and it carries more heat and energy, and the natural temperature is higher, but the scales of the lizard's skin are thicker than the carapace of a cockroach, which prevents the heat from escaping.

So, until Ron was unsure if the small crossbow in his hand would be able to shoot through the lizard's skin and inflict fatal damage on it, Ron didn't plan to provoke the reptiles.

"Take!"

Adjusting the crosshair again, Ron fired another arrow, this time Ron's crossbow bolt pierced the cockroach's head, killing the brain. It's just that, due to the characteristics of insects, the six limbs of the cockroach are still swinging wildly, and they are not dead for a while.

"Click, click!"

The big lizard next to it had not gone far away, and when it saw another cockroach being nailed, it hurriedly ran over, opened its mouth, and bit the cockroach's abdomen, and then swallowed it again and again.

This time, however, instead of aiming his crossbow at the lizard, Ron reverted to firing again, and instead aimed at the third cockroach with peace of mind.

"Ding! Kill the big cockroach to get 1 point of Life Essence, and you need 1/500 of Life Essence to level up the next time. ”

Ron's current situation is Hunter Reserve level 0 and Moonglow Rat level 5, and Ron doesn't know when he will be able to leave the Hunter Reserve and truly become a hunter.

However, Ron knew that in order to move himself from Moonlight Rat level 5 to level 6, he would obviously need to hunt five hundred cockroaches!

And at this moment, the number of cockroaches crawling on the cockroach river beach is more than thousands!

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

"Take!"

"Take!"

"Take!"

Cockroaches on the river beach range from large to small, but every few seconds, a crossbow arrow shoots out from behind a rock, nailing a cockroach to the ground.

Although at the beginning, due to the difference in the size of the cockroaches, the position of the crossbow arrow was different, but as time went by, Ron's hit rate became higher and higher, and in the end, no matter the size of the cockroach, there was only one position where the crossbow arrow hit, and that was the cockroach's head!
