Chapter 5: The Hunt (1)
At the edge of the misty forest, a teenager with his hair tied up was quietly hiding in the shadows of the trees, patiently waiting for his prey. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He set up several traps not far away, waiting for a magical beast called the "Horned Rabbit".
Because the demonic beasts that live on this continent have a little bit of intelligence, and therefore become difficult to catch, the arrangement of traps is quite a test of a hunter's skills.
Finally his patience paid off, and after spending almost 2 hours or so, his prey finally appeared in his field of vision.
I saw the horned rabbit carefully walking in the direction of the trap, and the horned rabbit looked at the food not far from him, and was a little prepared, because he didn't know if there was anything wrong with the food placed there.
Finally, after several circles around the food, the horned rabbit could not resist the temptation of the food and walked towards the trap.
At the moment when the horned rabbit bit the food, the trap was launched, and I saw an arrow shot at the horned rabbit, which startled the horned rabbit, after dodging the bow and arrow, the horned rabbit wanted to turn around and leave this dangerous place, but the ground suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, and the horned rabbit shrouded in blue light suddenly found that he couldn't move, and at this moment another bow and arrow also shot at it, and this time the horned rabbit that was controlled could not dodge.
"Well, it's done, I used a miniature stagnant scroll, it cost 10 silver coins, and the whole horned rabbit didn't have much damage, and it could be sold for about 25 silver coins after finishing it, which was not bad. ā
Packing up, Geo turned away with his prey.
It's been 6 years since he came to this world, and Geo has learned that mages are not the only profession that can use magical power, like the usual skills of hunters, and the same is true of warriors' combat skills, the more powerful it is, the greater the consumption.
Now Geo is 11 years old, in 3 years ago Geo has begun to be able to catch the lowest horned rabbit, up to now, has been able to catch some larger prey, but the risk is relatively large, after all, he is too young, once he encounters any danger, he can't run if he wants to, so under normal circumstances, Geo still chooses to capture this kind of prey with little danger.
From the beginning of the trap, the horned rabbit was almost destroyed, and there was no gain, to now the integrity of the prey is ensured to the greatest extent, after all, the neater the material, the more valuable the thing.
Gio has also been learning from Leno, but because Leno is not a very good hunter, he knows the skills of almost everyone, but even so, Gio also learns very seriously, and the usual skills such as: breathing, piercing shooting, turning to move, blessing magic on the weapon, prompting penetration, etc.
"Isn't there a way to increase the reserve of mana through cultivation?"
Geo had asked Leno this question before, and Leno replied yes, but in the Mage's Guild, you have to become a mage.
"The hope of becoming a mage is too small, and the class is also very harsh, low-level mages must obey high-level mages, I can't stand this, it's too aggrieved, if you offend someone, mess with you behind your back, and let the high-level get you to a place where you must die, then you will die. ā
On the way back, Geo kept thinking.
"The breathing method is to adjust one's own breath, strive to integrate with the surrounding environment, so that others cannot perceive it, and use it in a static situation. ā
"Well, the situation of stillness?"
The words sent Geo deep in thought.
"What if you use it on the move?"
Thinking of this, Geo immediately couldn't wait to try it, and after entering the state of breathing while stationary, Geo found that once he moved the nearby breath, it would become chaotic, and Geo had no choice but to use more magic to control the flow of the surrounding aura, but Geo only took three steps, which made Geo feel depressed, and sweat soaked his whole body.
"Whew~~, this is too difficult, my body is so tired after only three steps, no wonder I need to use it when I am still in a stationary situation. ā
"If you can do it in battle, it's exciting to think about it, your opponent can only see you, but he can't feel you at all, that feeling, tsk. ā
"I don't know if I can do it, but let's try it first. ā
Having made a decision, Geo walked in the direction of the village with his prey.
"Brother, what did you catch today?"
Lilia saw Gio and ran towards him in a hurry.
Lilia is Geo's neighbor and often comes to play with Geo because she is about the same age as Geo.
"A horned rabbit, I'll make a whistle for you. ā
"Great!"
Lilia looked happy to hear Geo's words.
"Geo, you can't spoil her like that. ā
Hearing Geo's words, Lilia's mother was a little helpless.
"It's okay, Lilia is very nice. ā
Geo smiled.
"Well, Lilia will listen to her brother. ā
"Hehehe..."
Hearing Lilia's words, Lilia's mother seemed a little overjoyed.
Seeing Lilia's mother laughing, Geo was a little helpless.
Because there are not many children in the village, the few children are very loved by the villagers, which also leads to the fact that Geo was often held in the arms of the village aunt when he was a child, and this situation has not become less as Geo grows up, but has become more and more powerful, and he used to just hug him, but now he has to kiss him on the face from time to time.
"That's... Auntie, I'll go back first. ā
Seeing that he wanted to rush over and hug his aunt again, Geo wisely slipped away first.
"Damn, why do I have a baby face. ā
Geo's depressed mood can be imagined.
"If I go out in a dress, I'm afraid no one will think I'm a boy, right?"
This realization made Geo want to cry without tears, as a man over 30 years old at heart, Geo's mood can be imagined.
"This kid, why did he run away again, I still want to hug him, how can a boy be so cute?"
Lilia ignored her mother, whose eyes were full of stars,
Chase after Geo.
"My brother is so pretty, better than my sister in town. ā
Lilia thought to herself.
Apparently too young, Lilia didn't know how much this made Geo depressed.
"Phew, this world is so dangerous. ā
Gio, who returned home, couldn't help but mutter.
"Hahaha, who was hugged today?"
Leno greeted Gio with a smile, which was obviously more acceptable if he didn't have an envious expression.
Hearing Leno's words, Gio was a little speechless and ignored him, Gio found a stool and sat down, ready to deal with the horned rabbit in his hand.
"I said Leno, can't you cut my hair off for me. ā
"I don't have the guts, Fran will kill me. ā
Leno smiled as he listened to Geo's complaints.
Fran is one of the few elves in the village and an excellent hunter.
Fran liked Geo when she first met him, and even prepared all kinds of clothes for him to change into, and ordered Leno not to cut Geo's hair, in her words, "Male elves also have long hair, why cut it?"
And every time I see Geo Flan will always carry him to the house, and then bring him all kinds of clothes to wear, even the skirt is taken out, so that Geo walks around Fran's house every time he goes out.
"I'm not a girl, so it's weird why I have my hair. ā
"Hahaha, don't you think that's beautiful. ā
ā...... You can also try it out in a group. ā
"Well, I wanted to get into Fran's house, but I'm obviously not as lucky as you. ā
Hearing Leno's words, Geo had a black line on his face.
Ignoring Leno, Geo turns to deal with the Horned Rabbit, and he has to make a whistle for Lilia.
"By the way, the day after tomorrow, the village wants the home team to go out hunting together. ā
"Can I go too?"
Hearing Leno's words, Geo was a little excited, because usually this kind of hunting team composed of more than 20 people Geo would not have the opportunity to participate.
"Well, after all, you've been studying for so long, so it's time for you to go and see how the team hunts. ā
Looking at the excited Gio, Leno smiled.
"Prepare well. ā
"Well, I will. ā
"To celebrate your participation, I decided to have two drinks. ā
"Obviously you want to drink it yourself, right? ā
With a black line on his face, he watched Leno leave humming a little song, and Geo thought helplessly.
"Brother, my whistle. ā
"I'll get it for you now. ā
Looking at Lilia with a happy face, Geo calmed down and began to sort out the prey this time.
