Chapter 21 The Rotting Wolf Gazes Around!
Shen Mo accepted the mission to hunt man-eating spiders.
Not only because the bounty for this mission is high.
Also, because the materials from the man-eating spider are valuable, hunting them is cost-effective.
His extraordinary sensory abilities also make him fearless in hunting in complex environments...
However, due to the influence of the demonic tide.
Not only in the wasteland, but even in the original pristine areas, traces of monsters have appeared.
Before Shen Mo even entered the wasteland, he was spotted by a gecko.
Out of fear of Shen Mo, the vulture merely circled high in the sky, not daring to swoop down and attack him.
But its appearance, like a beacon, quickly attracted a pack of wolves.
There are only five of these formidable predators.
It followed far behind Shen Mo, neither approaching nor leaving.
Like the vultures, they swarmed around Shenmo like flies, which was quite annoying.
"I can't keep being watched by these beasts..."
Shen Mo frowned slightly.
He knew why he was being targeted by these monsters.
In the eyes of monsters, a person is equivalent to being alone and easily surrounded and attacked.
This is why many scavengers and demon hunters choose to team up.
A large number of people can naturally avoid some trouble...
In the past, if he encountered a pack of rotten wolves, Shen Mo would have retreated without hesitation.
But now...
Looking around, Shen Mo saw a forest and, on a whim, walked towards it.
This mountain forest is not the mission location, but it is not far away.
Shen Mo cautiously approached that direction, but this alerted the Tumor Vulture and the Carrion Wolf.
These beasts are not without intelligence.
Their primal hunting experience made them realize that the situation was becoming more complicated.
Then the vulture howled loudly, and the rotten wolf howled as it ran around hidden in the grass, as if it were about to attack Shen Mo.
Ignoring everything else, Shen Mo continued walking into the mountains.
His five senses allowed him to accurately pinpoint the locations of the Tumor Vulture and the Rotten Wolf.
These beasts are putting on a show of force, but it's all just bluster.
In the end, Shen Mo entered the mountains unharmed.
The eagle circled in the air a few times, lost its silent trail, and finally flew away.
Only the five rotting wolves remained, howling and lingering outside the forest.
After a moment, they couldn't resist any longer and scattered at a distance, disappearing into the forest...
call out--
The arrow, which had been charged up for a long time, shot out.
A wolf that had just entered the forest was accurately hit on the head, stumbled and fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then went still.
The Tier 1 monster "Rotten Wolf" has been added to your roster, rewarding you with 1 point of Constitution attribute enhancement!
[You have hunted 1 carrion wolves, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]
......
Hiding behind a tree that would take one person to encircle, Shen Mo ignored the warnings in the Demon Hunter's Handbook and devoted himself entirely to the hunt.
He turned around, drew his bow, and shot an arrow.
The second arrow flew from the bowstring, and the rotting wolf, unable to dodge in time, was struck in the neck, falling to the ground struggling and howling.
The location of the remaining three rotten wolves was under Shen Mo's control.
He calmly took out an ordinary arrow, nocked it on his bow, and followed the nearest rotting wolf with his gaze.
In a moment when there are no obstacles, decisively release the bowstring.
The arrow flew out with a sound, and the rotten wolf howled in pain, limping down the slope.
Shen Mo then abandoned his bow, drew his sword, and charged at another rotting wolf.
The beast was clearly startled, letting out a short, panicked bark before turning and running out of the forest.
Seeing this, Shen Mo turned around to face the last rotten wolf.
But that beast was quick-witted too; seeing the situation was bad, it immediately fled in panic.
Shen Mo had no intention of chasing after it. He turned around, picked up the bow he had dropped, and went to the rotting wolf that had rolled down the slope. He shot it in the head with an arrow.
The Demon Hunter's Handbook popped up a kill notification.
The number of demon hunters in the Silence has reached 72.
"There's one more..."
Grabbing the tail of the rotten wolf, Shen Mo arrived at the second rotten wolf that had been shot down.
That arrow must have wounded the rotten wolf's internal organs; when Shen Mo arrived, it appeared to be on its deathbed.
Shen Mo maintained his distance and fired an arrow from afar.
Only after hearing the hunting alert did they approach.
They began prying open the rotten wolf's canine teeth to collect its brain.
After quickly gathering the valuable parts of the rotten wolf, Shen Mo immediately left the dense forest.
He also sprayed a odor-suppressing agent on his body and backpack.
There are now second- and third-tier monsters in the wasteland, and he doesn't want to be discovered by those monsters...
About half an hour later, Shen Mo arrived at the mission location.
This is a small woodland that once appeared to be a logging camp.
The bushes and weeds have grown wildly due to years of neglect.
It has now become a dense forest with a complex environment.
Shen Mo took more than ten minutes to circle the dense forest.
This small, dense forest has now become the territory of the man-eating spiders.
Shen Mo looked around, but didn't see a single rodent, let alone a rodent. He didn't even see any insects.
The environment of the woodland and the location of some man-eating spiders in the edge area were roughly confirmed.
Shen Mo began clearing away the man-eating spiders from a relatively sparsely wooded area.
whoosh-
Shen Mo used the charged Demon Fang Arrow right from the start.
The target was a man-eating spider lying on its web, completely unaware that death was imminent.
puff!
The arrow struck the man-eating spider squarely in the abdomen.
The man-eating spider suddenly curled up, emitting a hissing sound similar to scraping.
Its eight legs thrashed about haphazardly before it fell from the spiderweb to the ground and quickly went silent.
The Tier 1 monster "Man-Eating Spider" has been added to your roster, rewarding you with 1 point of Constitution attribute enhancement!
[You have hunted 1 man-eating spiders. Reward: 1 skill enhancement point!]
......
The death of a man-eating spider gradually brought the desolate and gloomy forest to life.
Shen Mo heard a rustling sound.
From every corner of the dense forest.
Several fist-sized man-eating spiders have emerged from the grass and tree canopy, blindly darting between the spider webs and trees.
These are juvenile man-eating spiders, low-level monsters, but they only need one year to reach adulthood...
Shen Mo ignored these young individuals.
These young individuals are relatively fragile, and even if they are killed, the "Witcher's Handbook" will not count.
Moreover, once all the adult man-eating spiders are killed, these juvenile individuals usually don't live long either...
Shifting his gaze to the other side, Shen Mo identified his second target.
The man-eating spider was smaller than the first one, but it was still considered an adult.
We moved swiftly through the woods, as if walking on flat ground.
whoosh-
A normal charged arrow hits the moving target, sending the man-eating spider flying.
The man-eating spider hissed, and while still in the air, it managed to shoot out a strand of silk, suspending itself from the tree.
The silent arrow only struck its chest, but the injury was not enough to kill the man-eating spider immediately.
At the same time, the man-eating spider emitted an even louder hissing sound.
But the next moment, another arrow shot out, piercing the man-eating spider right through the heart.
The strange hissing sound also stopped abruptly.
[You have hunted a total of 75 monsters. Reward: 1 point of Battle Skill Enhancement!]
"Is it delivering a message?"
Shen Mo noticed that the dense forest in front of him was beginning to stir.
Some entities are rapidly approaching us.
Shen Mo remained completely calm, drawing his Demon Fang Arrow and charging it up, patiently awaiting the arrival of his next prey...
