Getting very close to the two rabbits, Saiki made a surprise attack on one of them.
Whoosh!
The baseball bat made a beautiful streak in the air from top to bottom.
<Powerful Strike>!
The rabbits sensed something, but it was already too late for one of them.
Bang!
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 3,669 damage]
[You obtained 519 EXP.]
Saiki saw the rabbit's head deform, then the rabbit turned into dust, leaving behind three orbs in total.
The other rabbit jumped high with its feet aimed at Saiki's head in a flying kick.
<Energy Bolt>!
Instead of fleeing, Saiki's hand stretched out and a blue sphere of pure energy was created.
His MP was reduced by 20.
Bang!
The shot hit the rabbit's abdomen dead center, exploding.
[You inflicted 777 damage]
The rabbit was launched backward, but it didn't die.
<Energy Bolt>!
Without hesitating, he made a second shot toward the rabbit that was still in the air.
Bang!
[You inflicted 518 damage]
[You obtained 519 EXP.]
In the air, the hit rabbit turned into dust that was carried away by the wind, leaving only two orbs of red light shining in the air.
Saiki moved and caught them before they fell to the ground.
Returning to his previous position, he picked up the other three orbs.
'Although it's good to gain red light orbs, I want the purple ones too.'
Only stronger rabbits drop that type of orbs, or even the green wolves that are capable of controlling the wind.
The green wolves represent a greater challenge to defeat; unless he manages to make a surprise attack, the chances of winning are small.
As for the stronger rabbits, although harder to kill, it wasn't impossible.
'For now, I'm stronger using physical attacks. Magical attacks besides being weaker, cost more MP.'
If he wished to defeat more rabbits, or even a wolf in a stroke of luck, he needed to preserve his MP well.
For now, he didn't smell any scent that could indicate a direction for him to hunt.
Without a direction to follow, he advanced toward the position of the sun.
Smelling the air, he stopped after walking for a few minutes.
Three distinct scents.
'Luck.' He thought.
Three rabbits, a smaller black one, a gray one a bit larger, and a white one the size of the gray one, approximately 100 cm.
<Beginner Hunter>!
The skill was activated, his steps became softer on the grassy ground.
The grass itself served as a means of concealment, averaging 50 cm in height.
This also made him think of an anime. It was an anime about game creators and in one of the games, the players could use bear costumes and infiltrate among the bears.
'Should I risk it and buy a giant rabbit costume? This also reminded me of the video of the man who wore a gorilla costume and provoked the other gorillas...' He showed a thin smile: 'No wonder men live less, isn't that right?'
One thing is changing appearance, but if they are able to identify him by scent, he would only be risking himself for nothing. Not to mention that a costume like that would decrease his performance, especially mobility.
One thing that Saiki came to think... Controlling the location of the inventory after it is opened.
Is it possible to make the inventory move with the mind? Or even take out an item without him picking them up with his hand? Or maybe he needed to have at least a telekinesis skill to make this work?
As the doubts grew, he began to test, at first, he didn't have a satisfactory result, but soon he managed some. For example, opening the inventory and making it move around him, but he couldn't make it stay less than 200 cm away from him.
The most advantageous part was making it appear behind him and pulling a weapon from inside this way instead of pulling from the front.
For a successful surprise attack, the less noise he makes, the better. And, the way of taking a weapon out from inside the inventory like this was the best.
Upon getting very close, Saiki attacked the first rabbit eating grass, followed by the second then by the third without wasting time.
<Powerful Strike>!
<Powerful Strike>!
<Powerful Strike>!
POW!
POW!
POW!
[Critical Damage!]
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 3,998 damage]
[You inflicted 3,111 damage]
[You inflicted 1,898 damage]
When he hit the first rabbit, the other two responded, attacking him, but he was faster, activating <Powerful Strike> right after, taking advantage of the impact that made the bat rise and attacked again and, retreated while dodging the charge of the third rabbit that jumped in his direction, wanting to strike with its head and attacked, hitting the rib.
Even though the last one was a smaller damage, it was still enough to finish the rabbit's life.
[You obtained 497 EXP.]
[You obtained 532 EXP.]
[You obtained 502 EXP.]
At the same time that the rabbits were turned into dust, one of them left behind a piece of meat.
Just with these three, he managed 7 red light orbs.
In search of stronger prey, Saiki continued hunting the rabbits he found along the way while following them by scent.
With his stealth and strength, he managed to hunt the rabbits easily, until he finally found some rabbits that were able to survive a blow even when critically hit.
