Chapter 3 Chance Encounters

Ryan didn't pay much attention to the boosts he had gained after leveling up for the time being, and instead searched the snakeskin pouches of both kobolds first.

In the end, however, I found that I didn't find much to gain.

The contents of the two snakeskin bags add up to only a handful of romance grass and three gold coins.

"It's poor."

Ryan complained that kobolds have a habit of keeping treasures, so their real treasures should be hidden in their territory, and they don't usually carry too many things with them, but these are better than nothing.

Put three gold coins in your bosom and eat another handful of romance grass. Next, Ryan decisively used the Divine Berry Technique as the first spell in his memory.

As for the second ring spell, Ryan chose to entrap the strike for himself. This is a more control-oriented spell, which can greatly protect one's own safety.

After memorizing his two spells, Ryan immediately recited a string of spells in his mouth, and at the cost of consuming a one-ring spell slot, he summoned a magic berry and immediately ate it.

The berries were sweet and strawberry-like, and as soon as Ryan ate them, two new data prompts appeared in front of him.

[You have taken the Divine Berry, HP +1]

[Your health is 6/10]

"Although there are still 4 points left to be able to restore full health, 6 points is already a relatively healthy blood line."

Thinking of this, Ryan expressed his gratitude to the two kobolds quite sincerely in his heart.

"If it weren't for you being able to appear in front of me when I needed you most, I don't even know what to do now."

"Thank you! I hope I didn't make you suffer too much when I sent you on your way! ”

"Finally, allow me to say sorry to you! In the future, if I have the chance, I will come back here and erect a monument to you two kind kobolds, but now I have to go. ”

"'Forest' as my preferred terrain."

[You have successfully selected 'Forest' as your preferred terrain.] ]

[Now your party won't be slowed down by difficult terrain when traveling!] ]

[Your party will not get lost unless affected by a magic effect.] ]

[When traveling, stay alert even if you're doing another action (e.g., foraging, navigating, tracking.)] ]

[When foraging, you'll find twice as much food.] ]

[When tracking other creatures, you'll also be able to find out their exact numbers, size, and more.] ]

Nature explorer.

This is a class specialty that can be obtained by the Ranger at class level 1.

And it happens to be one of the most fascinating things about this profession.

"Okay, now all we have to do is hurry up and get down the mountain as soon as possible."

Ryan said in his heart.

His plan was to leave the place first, and when it was safe to return to the village, he would do what he had to do.

It's just that to Ryan's surprise, Rick, who was supposed to be left in his plan to settle accounts after the fall, actually "took the initiative" to appear in front of him next.

……

"Boss, we've been looking for so long, could the other one have already managed to escape?"

"It's possible. But at least we've caught one, so the leader won't criticize us too much when we get back. ”

"I don't know what happened to the other brothers."

Ryan hid in a hidden bunker, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

There are five gnolls in total. Two of the gnolls were being hung from a stout log by the flower-tied Rick, while the other two were talking and leading the way in front of them, and one was left behind the back hall.

Rick's condition looks very bad, he is covered in mud all over his body, although his mouth is not blocked by anything, but it seems that this unlucky guy has suffered a lot at the hands of the jackal, and at this time he is honestly afraid to make a sound when he is hung down by the jackal like this.

Deserve!

Ryan sneered in his heart, in his plan, since Rick dared to set up a plan to kill himself, he would undoubtedly find an opportunity to get rid of it in the future.

Now this opportunity is just right!

Ryan didn't want Rick to die at the hands of the Gnolls, it would be too cheap for him. As a team-oriented ranger, he has always been strict with his teammates who don't follow the team's schedule and betray, let alone someone like Rick who dares to stab him in the back when he has no hatred between the two sides.

"Five gnolls means 500 points of experience, and based on the situation when the gnolls were chasing the original owner, it can be roughly surmised that this is a group of werewolf tribes with an overall number of about twenty to thirty," Ryan quickly sorted out his future plans in his heart, "Yes, this is a big help!" ”

The fact that a ranger with only a second-level professional rank can do too little is too little.

At the very least, you must first raise the class level to level 3 to unlock the "sub-class" before you can truly embark on the career path of a ranger.

Thinking of this, Ryan immediately used his professional expertise against the gnolls.

[You have successfully identified the target "Gnoll" as your nemesis, and you will have an even greater advantage when tracking and hunting the Gnoll in the future.] ]

OK!

With the help of the two professional specialties of Rival and Natural Detective, Ryan is confident that he can kill two of them before the Jackals can react.

As for the remaining three? Ryan didn't pay attention at all.

It's true that he's only a Tier 1 Ranger now, and he's not in a healthy state of mind, but as a Ranger who was once only one step away from a legend, it's a bit hilarious if he can't even handle three Gnolls.

Ryan placed an arrow on the bowstring, and with the advantage of geography and the hidden effect of the natural detective's professional expertise, he looked like a leopard waiting for the right time to hunt for food, and none of the five gnolls on the way noticed his presence.

Shout!

An arrow burst through the air with a swift sound and shot towards the back of the gnoll in charge of the temple.

[Hit the target, you deal 10 damage to the target!] ]

[This attack is judged to be a critical attack, and the target takes +5 damage!] ]

[Target dies, you take out a Gnoll, gain 100 XP!] ]

The damage caused in the state of severe injury and the damage caused under moderate injury are obviously not comparable, not to mention that this arrow is still a blow that he has carefully prepared, and the unlucky jackal's heart is directly shot through!

Seeing their companion wailing and falling to the ground, the remaining four jackals realized that they had been attacked, and hurriedly searched around, but unfortunately all they saw was a forest.

And they didn't even notice that Ryan, who was hiding in the woods, smiled at them with a hideous smile.
