YM778.TV Chapter 3 Escape and the bandits
So Kain was forced to think of another way, a way to kill this monster.
At this time, Kain carefully observed the entire structure of this large cave.
It has a circular shape, in the middle of the cave is a small pond. Around that pond seemed to be the monster\'s main area of activity.
Kain looked up at the ceiling of the cave again. In addition to the densely growing glowing grass, the ceiling of the cave also had many large stone pillars protruding, the length of which could be up to 2 meters.
"Can I do this?"
Kain pondered, then he picked up two rocks and threw them at two different locations at the same time.
The monster emerged from the ground and grabbed a rock. Then it continued to rush to another place and grabbed the remaining rock.
"Good…"
Kain still hasn\'t stopped.
This time, Kain picked out two rocks that had a clear difference in size. Then he threw both stones to two different locations like before.
The monster appeared again, this time it swallowed a larger stone than before, leaving the smaller stone behind.
After two tries, Kain could grasp two things for sure.
The monster can only attack one target at a time.
The other monster will prioritize choosing the target that causes more impact.
And in both appearances, Kain observed that this monster did not possess eyes. Perhaps that\'s why it hunts with "vibes".
After knowing the behavior of this monster, Kain also began to develop a strategy.
But before that, he had to upgrade [Thunder Bullet] to a higher level to have a chance of success.
Kain continued to hunt around, but he still had to grope for several hours to kill enough Zombies.
[Thunder Bullet level 4] 0/5
At this point, Kain had a little confidence that his plan would succeed, but he had to try to be sure.
Kain shot [Thunder Bullet] at a rock. Although it couldn\'t break it, the damage was still quite good.
The preparations finished, Kain returned to the intersection between the large cave and the small cave. At this time, Kain stuffed a large stone into the cloth bag that was used to store the hunting trophies.
Kain then threw a rock at a pre-calculated location.
When the monster appeared, Kain immediately ran outside, then fired [Thunder Bullet] at the monster immediately.
It was paralyzed, then Kain quickly took out the cloth bag containing the big rock, turned around a few times to accumulate strength, and finally threw the ice bag up high.
The ice bag hit a stone pillar right above the monster. The impact was strong enough to cause the stone pillar to fall, plunging straight into the monster\'s open mouth.
Causing the monster to get stuck.
Taking this opportunity, Kain rushed towards the monster to shoot [Thunder Bullet] continuously, until the monster no longer moved, then stopped.
Kain was out of breath and tiredly fell to the ground.
He placed his hand on his chest, feeling like all his strength had been drained away.
Finally, Kain fainted.
…
He doesn\'t know how much time passed before Kain woke up.
He is still in the Dungeon, next to the corpse of the dead monster. Kain slowly stood up. Although his body still felt very heavy, he could still move normally.
He opened the system panel.
[Level]: 3
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★ ]:
+[Thunder Bullet level 4] 0/5
-[Enhancement Magic ★ ]
"What should I add points to now?"
Kain pondered.
[Thunder Bullet] has reached level 4, which is enough for temporary use. So Kain plans to switch to other magic skills to see how it goes.
[Enhancement Body] needs up to 5 points to upgrade, [Enhancement Tool] needs up to 10 points. Consider eliminating both of these skills.
So only [Thunder Summon] and [Thunder Navigation] can be upgraded.
Kain carefully evaluated both magic skills.
[Thunder Navigation] sounds more like a supplementary skill, which Kain doesn\'t really need right now.
He chose [Thunder Summon].
Very quickly, a new transformation appeared on Kain\'s system board.
[Level]: 0
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★ ]:
+[Thunder Bullet level 4] 0/5
+[Thunder Summon level 1] 1/ 3
-[Enhancement Magic ★ ]
Seeing that it seemed okay, Kain turned off the system panel.
"Now I have to find a way out of here."
The Dungeon Guardian Monster has been defeated, so the exit should be usable.
Kain looked towards the lake in the center of the cave. No matter how you looked at it, this place looked the most like the entrance to the Dungeon.
So Kain jumped into the small pond without any hesitation.
Unlike Kain\'s imagination, the bottom of the pond was not calm at all, on the contrary, it was like a whirlpool, directly sucking Kain in without him even having time to resist.
When Kain was about to choke to death, he suddenly saw light and his whole body rose out of the water.
At this time, Kain discovered that he had been taken to a river quite far from his village on foot.
The sky at this time is already sunset. There wasn\'t enough time to return to the village, so Kain decided to camp here.
After a few simple steps, Kain had a campfire. He stripped off all his clothes and hung them on a tree branch, leaving them near the fire to dry quickly. And he himself jumped naked into the river to catch fish.
Because the bow and arrow were swept away by the current, Kain could only catch fish with the dagger in his hand. He struggled for several dozen minutes to catch a few small fish, but that was enough.
Grilling the fish and then chewing the fish bones is considered a complete meal. Kain took some dry grass to cushion the ground and slept outside all night.
The next morning.
As soon as the first rays of sunlight hit Kain\'s face, he opened his eyes.
The clothes were completely dry, Kain calmly put them on and returned to the village.
However, on the way, Kain suddenly saw black smoke rising.
The location of the smoke column is so coincidental that it is located exactly in the location of Kain\'s village.
"Could something have happened?"
Kain\'s village is indeed in trouble.
Dozens of bold men appeared in the vicinity of the village. They used torches to burn down the village watchtower.
They are the bandits.
The men in the village took out their weapons to defend themselves, but there were more bandits and they looked much more ferocious. So the villagers were quickly defeated.
"What do you want?"
The village chief exclaimed. The leader of the bandits also responded.
"We just need food, don\'t force us to kill people."
In fact, the bandits were also afraid that the villagers would fight too fiercely, so they used softer methods of persuasion.
Just need food, don\'t need women.
When the village chief heard that, he breathed a sigh of relief. But a man whispered into the village chief\'s ear.
"Our harvest this year is not very good. If we still give food to these bandits now, I\'m afraid many people will starve to death this winter."
Hearing that, the village chief fell into deep thought.
Seeing the other side all the time but still haven\'t made a decision. The leader of the bandits shouted loudly.
"Are you done deciding yet? We said we would only take food, not people! Don\'t pressure us too much!"
"How much food do you want?"
"Half."
"No, that\'s too much!"
"Old man, don\'t you see there are dozens of us? If it\'s less, what can we eat?"
The bandits pulled out their knives and swords, appearing threatening. The men in the village also clutched hoes and shovels, some even carried machetes.
Everyone\'s faces were tense.
Bandits don\'t want to lose members, and the village doesn\'t want to lose people either.
The two sides fell into a tense situation.
At this moment, a somewhat young voice appeared.
"What\'s wrong with forcing others too much? You guys go out to rob and still preach morality?
"To be honest, you\'re just scared."
None other than Kain.
He walked out of the forest and slowly walked towards the bandits.
"Kain! Quickly run away from here!"
Someone in the village shouted, but Kain didn\'t pay attention.
The nearest mountain bandit saw Kain acting so arrogant and roared.
"Kid, who do you think you are, daring to look down on us!"
This guy held a knife and rushed towards Kain, but what he faced was a ball of lightning that hit his chest.
