Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Improvent of Arrow Skill, Killing the Smoke Weasel
“Natural Seal” didn’t just enhance his five senses, but also an amalgamation of those senses, forming sothing akin to a sixth sense.
At that mont, he didn’t distinctly hear where the sound ca from, nor did he clearly see any figure, but a picture naturally ford in his mind:
A weasel-like creature, darting through the bushes hundreds of ters away, rustling the leaves and creating a soft rustling sound.
Char’s hands were quicker than his mind, reflexively drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, firing in that direction.
In the darkness, an angry howl resonated.
With the enhancent from “Natural Seal,” Char’s arrow skill had improved markedly, with his accuracy increased by an unknown amount.
However, though the weasel-like animal was hit by Char’s arrow, it only suffered a minor injury.
Char imdiately realized: this was not an ordinary animal, but a Demon Beast!
Lantern Firefly struck instantly, her lantern hand morphing into a streak of fireflies that disappeared into the darkness.
A mont ago, it didn’t know where the prey was, but now, guided by Char, how could it miss?
Char continued to listen carefully, sensing sothing, all the while his mind couldn’t help but wander: If he killed this weasel-like Demon Beast, he was certain to collect ten strands of Praying Power.
What kind of Magic Pet would he be able to recruit then? Would it be one from “Mobile Castle·Fantasy Forest,” or a creature transford from this world?
It likely wouldn’t be a large Magic Pet, as both his ga designs and reality showed that early pets would not co from transford Demon Beasts, but from ordinary animals instead.
And they weren’t even large or dium-sized ordinary animals, but rather weaker ones.
Like insects or frogs.
Now, the New Magic Pet would probably be no exception and would likely still be an insect.
Of course, it could also be a spider, a rodent, a bird, a lizard, a hedgehog, or other small animals.
The idea was to focus on a concept of a house insect, a house mouse, and a house bird.
What animal it would transform from was entirely up to the whims of the Prayer Altar.
He had tried to influence the outco before, but the result was clear, the Prayer Altar didn’t care for his plans—it had its own ideas.
As Char was lost in thoughts of the future, he caught sight of the weasel-like Demon Beast once again.
The bowstring vibrated, the arrow feather whistled, and he shot an arrow out like lightning.
But this ti, the effect was worse. The weasel-like Demon Beast, now on alert, managed to evade the arrow completely.
However, Char’s attack was not entirely in vain; it at least slowed the prey’s escape.
As the weasel-like Demon Beast was disrupted, light neared, Lantern Firefly finally closing in for the kill.
It first fiercely swung its lantern, unleashing “Red Glow.”
Red Glow flew towards the prey like a series of fireballs.
The weasel-like Demon Beast was only slightly larger than an ordinary weasel, with smoky-grey fur that shone with an oily luster. In the darkness, its eyes glimred grey-blue, like two grey-blue jewels.
It fled quickly, dodging several of the Red Glows, but inevitably so hit their mark.
After being struck by the first Red Glow, it could no longer maintain its initial agility, and the succeeding Red Glows hit one after another.
The prey let out a painful cry, its body suddenly smoked out, leaving only a dark shadow that darted forward, the creature having escaped over ten ters away, leaving behind a weasel-shaped mist and the Red Glows burning quietly within.
This weasel-like Demon Beast could actually use a skill similar to “Smoke Substitute,” releasing a smoke decoy in danger, while its body fled elsewhere.
The ability wasn’t just for evading attacks, but also for sharing damage, making it quite a useful skill.
Just now, it had used this skill to mitigate most of the damage from Char’s arrow, only suffering a minor injury.
But even so, this was rely a life-saving skill and couldn’t make the weasel demon beast’s fighting power surpass that of the Lantern Firefly, let alone enable it to defeat the Lantern Firefly.
Therefore, facing the Lantern Firefly, its only option was to flee.
‘Without any surprises, the challenge level of this weasel demon beast should only be Level 1.’ Char thought as he watched from a distance.
When “True Red Thorn” was activated, the Lantern Firefly launched an attack that, as quick as lightning, pinned the weasel demon beast, which had no ti to dodge.
In the nick of danger, the opponent suddenly spat out a stream of mist.
The grayish-white smoke rapidly expanded, and the Lantern Firefly instantly found itself as if caught in a thick fog, its vision obstructed.
…
On the wooden planks of the carriage, Char had already set down his bow and arrow, no longer continuing to shoot.
After a chase between the Lantern Firefly and its prey, they had moved beyond his shooting range. Even though he could vaguely perceive the prey’s location, he could no longer hit it.
Suddenly, a red light approached through the darkness.
The Lantern Firefly returned with a lantern in one hand and the weasel demon beast in the other.
But Char knew that the prey had been killed before the Lantern Firefly erged from the darkness, as an already completed task suddenly appeared in the task bar a mont ago.
[Adventure Task]
[Task 2]: Kill the Smoke Weasel!
[Task Description]: In the forest at night, favored by the Flower Fairy, you have found a Smoke Weasel resting in the trees. Kill this Smoke Weasel, and your wish will be granted!
[Reward]: Praying Power ×2
As soon as Char beca aware of the Smoke Weasel’s presence, the system automatically generated a second adventure task.
Now, the task was completed.
Char was overjoyed, his gaze sweeping over the Smoke Weasel held in the Lantern Firefly’s hand.
[Smoke Weasel]
[Skills]: Mist (0 Circle), Smoke Substitute (1 Circle)
[Challenge Level]: 1
[Introduction]: The Smoke Weasel is a misty ghost of the forest, possessing keen hearing and agile body. It can release a dense fog to obstruct the vision of predators and can produce a Smoke Substitute in dire situations. However, Smoke Weasels are not strong fighters and specialize in escaping and preserving life.
The fur of the Smoke Weasel is beautifully gray and white, and if one stares at it too long, it can even cause a dizzying sensation as if surrounded by swirling smoke.
However, Char’s gaze did not linger on the Smoke Weasel for long. He only briefly scanned the Smoke Weasel and the text that erged from its body before excitedly turning and entering into the carriage.
Before he even reached the shrine inside, he had silently proceeded with task settlent in his mind.
Two sacred and magnificent Praying Powers ford, complenting the nine already present, then ten of the Praying Powers began to rge, quickly condensing into a Prayer Fragnt.
Char’s thoughts moved to make a prayer, but in the next second, his expression changed.
Due to his past experiences with starting a business in his previous life, he had already been tempered by various ergencies and failures to have an indomitable heart and an excellent ability to regulate his emotions.
But even so, faced with the system’s prompt at this mont, he still cursed out loud.
