Chapter 5: Borrowing Arrows
The arrow was nailed to the eyebrows of the rotting wolf running at the front, and the sound of broken bones sounded, and blood spurted out half a meter.
【-176! (Critical Attack, Critical Hit)]
The rotting wolf was repulsed by the recoil and crashed into the stone wall and died completely.
This is the first one, Ian shoots a total of two arrows, and the second arrow is aimed at a trap on the ground.
Ian guessed correctly, it must be a poison arrow trap, and he saw that an adventurer had died in front of the trap, so he thought of using the carrion wolf as a target to get the poisoned arrows in the trap.
The arrow is pinned to the trap's switch, the trap in the shadows is activated, and a green arrow is shot out of the darkness.
"Woooooooo
The rotting wolf felt a chill and subconsciously jumped up, but a poisonous arrow pierced through its abdomen, taking the life of a rotting wolf again.
Easily, Ian killed two carrion wolves.
Due to the great power of the arrows fired by the Mandala Bow, and the arrows used by Ian are only ordinary wooden arrows, the arrows become disposable items.
Ian shoots an arrow again, killing the last of the carrion wolves with a headshot, and retrieving his arrows from their corpses.
Of the 3 arrows, only 1 was successfully recovered, and the poisoned arrows were not successfully recovered.
Ian watched vigilantly at the corpse of the rotting wolf, and at the location where the rotting wolf was hit by a poisoned arrow, the terrifying sizzling sound continued to sound.
Poisoned arrows were so corrosive that he couldn't touch them with his hands, so he had to come up with a good idea.
The last monster to be dealt with is the "Wolf King", which can just be used with extremely corrosive poisonous arrows, Ian tore the adventurer's clothes and skinned the rotting wolf.
He had tried to wrap the poisoned arrows in cloth or animal skins, but the poisoned arrows had corroded a large hole in the cloth, and it was clear that his method had failed.
And even if it is stored in the system backpack, he still can't hold it in his hand, and the corrosive problem is still not solved.
Ian thought quickly, shifted his gaze to the poisoned arrow, and suddenly thought of why the poison on the poisoned arrow would not melt the arrow.
This means that the arrow itself has a special material and is immune to corrosion?
Thinking of this, Ian kept triggering the poison arrow trap, and in the sound of swishing arrows, countless poisoned arrows appeared on the corpse of the rotting wolf.
Some of the poisoned arrows were not fully poisoned, revealing the silver arrows.
Ian reached out and held the silver arrow in his hand, waiting for a moment, his palm completely untouched.
The highly corrosive poison only takes effect when it comes to the target it directly touches, which makes him take advantage of it!
"Woooooooo
A flame flickered around the corner, and a slightly larger, one-eyed rotting wolf with a scar on its left eye appeared in Ian's eyes.
[Name: One-eyed rotting wolf]
[Level: 4]
[HP: 550/550, Mana: 150/150]
[Skills: Horror Bites, Calling Wolves, Rotting Disease]
[Sequence: Not in the flow]
[Description: Compared to other carrion wolves, it is more threatening, and its speed is amazing, making it a formidable enemy for adventurers.] You're a sliding shovel...... to fill its belly. 】
Ian took a look and realized that the one-eyed rotting wolf was not the wolf king, but only the squad leader among the rotting wolves.
It just so happens that it can be used to test the power of poison arrows, which is not comparable to the lethality of wooden arrows.
At the same time, due to the hard material of the poisoned arrow, it can still be retained by the "Mandala Bow" and has perfect recovery ability.
The one-eyed rotting wolf has a skill called "Berserk Attack", which accelerates and makes it run like a gust of wind.
In Ian's eyes, the one-eyed rotting wolf turned into a blurred shadow in an instant, running towards him from afar.
This is a big enemy, but it's a pity that it's not the wolf king, and even if it has skills, it's not much different from other carrion wolves.
Ian has seen through the attack of this group of monsters, and they will first wander around their prey, waiting for the moment to seize the opportunity, and then cull them in all directions.
This tactic may be very effective against some large and bulky monsters.
But for Ian, who is calm and has bow and arrow skills, it is only a little difficult to sell a flaw and then easily kill.
His pace slowed slightly, his perspective turned to a no-man's corner, and he didn't seem to catch the one-eyed rotting wolf moving at high speed.
Humans would have been more vigilant, but the one-eyed carrion wolf attacked directly from behind, revealing its hideous wolf tooth head and almost biting Ian's neck.
At this moment, Ian's upper body with a full bowstring turned.
miss! Successfully dodge the one-eyed wolf's sneak attack!
The cold glow of the green arrow shimmered in the right eye of the one-eyed rotting wolf.
It humanizes a look of horror the next moment.
——!Shh
The silver arrow and the emerald green sword tip burst into the air the moment it flew out, hitting the eyebrows of the one-eyed rotting wolf at close range, nailing it to the stone wall fiercely, killing it with one blow.
【-279! (Critical Attack, Critical Hit)]
The bow is fast outside seven steps, and the bow is accurate and fast within seven steps.
Ian walked over to the corpse and stretched out his hand:
"Extraction."
The corpse disintegrates into light.
[Rewards: EXP *35, Draw Points*40, Uncommon Wolf Fang*4, Uncommon Wolf Skin*1]
Ian gets a headshot every time, and monsters like the rotting wolf are very vicious, and if you don't hurt it badly, it will provoke it and lead to even more frantic counterattacks.
Therefore, when it comes to Ian, he will directly kill the rotting wolf, leaving no future trouble.
Pulling out the poison arrow from the stone wall, the large corpse of the one-eyed rotting wolf weighed 300 pounds, and smashed on the ground with a thud.
In the harvest of killing the one-eyed rotting wolf, there are some "wolf teeth" and "wolf skins", and the lottery points burst out of 40 points.
It turns out that the stronger the enemy, the more raffle points you can get after killing.
As he pondered, the torch in Ian's hand slowly dimmed, it had burned out, and Ian had no reserves.
He's going to discredit the rush again, and that's not the worst.
"Boom—boom—"
A dull voice sounded, and Ian stopped and watched as the dark labyrinthine stone wall slowly moved, blocking a junction.
The maze is not rigid, it will change the new route at a certain moment, and block the old route at the same time.
This was pretty bad news for Ian, and it meant that the map he had copied in his head was completely useless from that point on.
Along the way, by killing the carrion wolf and the cyclops, Ian swiped 227 raffle points.
Open the prize pool, and the highest tier of prizes is Gold quality with a total of 3.
Ian has drawn out the "Black Hole", and the number of prizes in the prize pool is fixed, so the current number of golden qualities is 2/3.
"Spend 200 points for two draws."
I hope to get props to explore the maze.
The brilliance in the prize pool circulates and condenses new prizes.
[Name: Dream Nails]
[Source: Hollow Knight]
【Quality: Golden】
[Effect: Dream Nail is not lethal, it takes 2.4 seconds to charge to use, and the target can read "Dream Language". 】
[Description: A sacred weapon, but also an incredible treasure, can cut the barrier between dreams and reality.] 】
Ian's expression became surprised.
It's gold again, is there something wrong with this probability?
[The player's current prize pool is the "Novice Prize Pool", and the probability of drawing high-quality items has been increased to 200%, and it can only be drawn 10 times.] 】
The probability of drawing the newbie prize pool has been increased to 200%, and the probability of gold quality is 1%, even if it is increased to 200%, it is only 2%, which is still outrageous!
The new prize is called the Dream Spike, and this weapon Ian is familiar with.
In Hollow Knight, the protagonist uses it to restore his soul or access some special dungeons.
And its most basic ability is to charge an attack to trigger a special effect, "eavesdropping on other people's dreams".
Of course...... This "other" even includes stones.
Even if it's a stone, it will be read by the Dream Nail to read the dream language, and that's what makes it outrageous.
At the moment, Ian just can't find a way forward, and he desperately needs a guide.
The arrival of the Dream Nail solves the problem he is currently facing.
