[Lv.1 Snow Rabbit(F-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[You gained 10 experiences.]

''Animals again? '' Raydon sighed, wanting to face a different kind of mob.

He looked at the blood bat's timer and, seeing that he still had two minutes, he set it up so that it was directly on top of him in the air. He then used the bird's eye view to find the camouflaged rabbits around him.

''How difficult could it be? '' After giving it some thought, Raydon pulled out more arrows from his dimensional storage and concentrated on the camouflaged mobs in his third view.

He took his time performing a thorough calculation before releasing the first arrow.

[Lv.1 Snow Rabbit(F-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[You gained 10 experiences.]

And the second,

[Lv.1 Snow Rabbit(F-Rank) has been killed.]

And the third…

[Lv.1 Snow Rabbit(F-Rank) has been killed.]

He used the blood bat's third sight, which he was unfamiliar with, in place of his own vision to take precise aim at the targets and kill them one by one with arrows.

There is no doubt that Raydon had the best archery in his previous life, and it doesn't seem likely that anyone will have a better shot in this one either.

He released his final arrow, and then all of a sudden, his third sight vanished.

''Not bad. '' He had killed thirteen mobs altogether by the time the skill's duration was over.

''130 experience points, If this continues, it will take me years to reach the next level.'' Raydon had a negative outlook but later consoled himself by thinking that he might come across opportunities to gain experience more quickly in the future.

After putting his crossbow back in his dimensional storage, he began gathering the mobs he had just killed.

The fur on these rabbits was as white as snow. This allowed them to blend in with the snow without much effort. In the middle of their heads, they were also equipped with white pointed horns.

On their backs, the number one was written in gray. Raydon was actually able to find these rabbits from above using his third view, thanks to this gray tattoo.

''It is now time to dismantle.'' Raydon had learned a little about dismantling by watching Gary. By only taking the necessary components, it would not needlessly fill his dimensional storage.

He first gathered all the arrows and placed them back in his dimensional storage. He then picked up a rabbit before pausing abruptly and cursing. ''Wait a minute, shit, I forgot to get a knife for dismantling. ''

By hitting himself in the head, Raydon berated himself for his forgetfulness. ''At least I can use the short sword, even though it won't be as practical as a knife. Well, still better than using the great sword. ''

Raydon said, taking the short sword and beginning to dismantle the mobs.

He first separated the horns from their heads, then cut off the hide and peeled it expertly. He then took the blue, shiny life-core that was located near its chest.

Finally, he placed all the parts in his dimensional storage after also taking their eyes. ''I believe that is sufficient. Given that the mob is low level, blood or flesh shouldn't be that valuable.''

He actually wanted to take the entire body, but he didn't have enough space to carry it, so he had to think logically this time. He turned around and set out to find his next prey after one last reluctant glance at the completely skinless bloody corpses of the rabbits.

—

Raydon came to a halt after killing three more snow rabbits, rubbed his eyes, and said, ''I guess I won't be able to make much progress without using blood bat skill. ''

The sun, which appeared to be brighter than the sun from his previous world, was shining on the snow in all its splendor. He began to feel as if he would go blind from the sun's reflection on this snow-covered area, where everything was completely white. Even his high stamina wasn't much of a help.

''Blood bat. ''

Raydon used the skill again, its cooldown period has long since ended.

He wasted no time in instructing the blood bat to survey the surroundings. After some time of observation, he noticed a fairly large lake not far away. When he pointed the blood bat in that direction, he discovered it was a completely frozen lake.

But there was something unusual about this seemingly ordinary frozen lake. It had various blue flowers growing on it, the largest of which measured up to 60 centimeters in length.

''This looks interesting.'' Raydon decided to approach the area himself and check it out. He walked up to the lake's edge and peered at the flowers that were a little further away.

These flowers struck him as odd, so he made the decision to approach one of them while holding his short sword in his hand.

However, as he took his first step on the ice, a problem arose. The ice was much thinner than it appeared, and it cracked before it could even withstand the pressure of one foot of Raydon.

He quickly retracted his foot as he pondered. 'I suppose I won't be able to approach these flowers in this way, '

He drew his crossbow from his dimensional storage and aimed at one of the flowers.

The flower was struck by the crossbow's arrow.

*Clink*

The arrow struck the flower and then bounced back. On the flower, there was just a crack.

''These things seem to be made of pretty solid ice. '' He realized that an arrow couldn't damage the flowers and fired two more. The crack on the flower grew larger and larger until, with the fourth arrow, it was completely broken and dispersed.

[Lv.1 Frozen Lake Flower (F-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[You gained 10 experiences.]

Raydon scowled as he examined the ice chips on the floor and the blue life-core. ''This motherfucker has wasted my 4 arrows. ''

The fact that it was a mob and gave him the experience was good, but he was unable to cross the ice to retrieve his arrows or his loot. Raydon was a looter who never left anything unclaimed, but he wasn't foolish enough to swim in this icy water to retrieve his loot.

When Raydon couldn't think of a way to get there without having to walk on the ice himself, he slapped his forehead and said. ''Ahh, my reputation as a looter is ruined. ''

He looked around at the dozens of other flowers in front of him. Other than these things, there were no mobs nearby from which he could gain experience, but killing those flowers would cost him his arrows. He didn't even know if all of his arrows would be enough to kill them all.

''Apparently, I need to find a different approach. '' Raydon contemplated as he crossed his arms over his chest and gazed at the flowers.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said. ''I think that skill can help me. ''

He pointed the palm of his left hand at one of the flowers while drawing his short sword from his dimensional storage and holding it in his right hand.

He then said,

''Hook. ''
