Chapter 7

This time, the hunting ground is even deeper in the forest.

Enemies in the shallower areas are easy to hunt, and there's a high chance of being seen by other players.

This is a hunting ground for parties, and although I haven't reached the appropriate level, there's no penalty for dying anyway.

If I think about it as a thrilling and dangerous battle that I can enjoy casually, I might even feel like I'm getting a good deal.

"Alright, let's do this."

That said, there's no change in my approach.

I climb up a tree, wait for the enemy, and ambush them from above.

Don't call it cowardly.

Since there's a significant level difference, I die in one hit!

Still, with this combat style, I rarely get approached by enemies.

My arrows still have enough power to take them down.

I can usually defeat an enemy with 3 to 5 shots to their weak points.

What I'm afraid of are enemies with small weak points.

Especially the long, fast-moving snake-type monsters, which I struggled against.

Their heads are small, and they move in a zigzag, making them hard to hit.

They can climb trees and even spit venom to poison me.

It was a good thing I bought a lot of recovery items with the money I earned from my last adventure.

I thought about buying weapons and armor, but the performance of the equipment available for purchase with my current funds is limited.

I'll rely on drops from monsters for my gear.

"Level 7. I'll allocate the enhancement points to range... now it's 35. Combined with the bow's original range, I can now hit targets up to 50 meters away. Smooth sailing, smooth sailing!"

My skills are also coming together, which is not bad.

If I became the strongest right after starting the game, I'd get bored, you know.

Steady and consistent, that's my motto.

Rustle... rustle... rustle...

Hmm, I hear something rubbing.

It must be a new type of monster.

But there doesn't seem to be any enemy on the ground...

"Ah, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no,
