Chapter 8 Hunting the Rabbits

Yukikaze went of to hunt the last nine rabbits needed as her food reserves. After 20 minutes of searching she was able to find another white rabbit and killed it by jumping from a tree on top of the unsuspecting rabbit.

` This one gets in here ` Yukikaze thought while putting the Rabbit inside her system inventory.

Half an our later she was able to kill another white rabbit. Then it took entire 40 minutes for her to find and kill another white rabbit.

` Looks like I hunted so many of them in the last days that they become rare in this region of the forest. Half a mile (0.8 Kilometers) further north was an open field. Maybe it`s worth it to go looking there. `

It took Yukikaze half an hour to get there but it was definitely worth it since she found two white rabbits very close to her.

Yukikaze activated (Camouflage Lv.2) and started to sneak towards the two rabbits which were eating grass. When she was close enough Yukikaze used (Jump Lv.3) and (Bite Lv.4) to break the neck of the first rabbit killing it instantly.

The second noticed the danger it was in and tried to run away but Yukikaze was significantly faster because she activated (Dash Lv.2). After she was close enough Yukikaze used (Bite Lv.4) to break the second rabbits neck killing it instantly.

She put it in her system Inventory and went back were she killed the first of the two rabbits to retrieve it. After she put it in her system Inventory as well and searched for more white rabbits while counting her kills.

` So that should be six which means I need to kill four more to have enough. I`m already 60% done and only needed 2 hours and 10 minutes. With that I might be able to start with the punji sticks today. `

After Yukikaze searched for 5 minutes she reached a small pond.

` The rabbits will need to drink eventually. I simply wait here until they come to me. `

After 20 minutes of waiting a rabbit showed up. The rabbit moved to the edge of the pond and started drinking from it.

Yukikaze used once again (Camouflage Lv.2) and sneaked and prepared to jump when a message entered her vision.

( (Camouflage Lv.2) successfully upgrade to (Camouflage Lv.3) )

Yukikaze ignored the message for now and used (Dash Lv.2) to rush at the rabbit from behind and kill it by using (Claw Lv.4) to slice it`s throat. To Yukikazes surprise another message appeared in her vision.

' Finally level 8. And I only need to get three more rabbits. ` Yukikaze thought while putting the rabbit in her system inventory.

She went back to her hiding spot hoping another white rabbit would appear to drink from the pond.

So she waited 10 minutes.

20 minutes.

40 minutes.

Only after 50 minutes of waiting did Yukikaze notice the pool of blood where she killed the last rabbit which causes a smell causing all nearby rabbits to stay away from this pond.

` Oh my god I`m so stupid. How didn`t I think of the smell of the blood. ` Yukikaze only sighed at her own stupidity.

Since she can`t wait here because no rabbit will go near here anytime soon she has to search by herself again.

Because the smell of the blood scared all the rabbits away she had to wander 40 minutes to find another one.

` Finally another rabbit. It was getting really frustrating to have to search for so long. ` Yukikaze thought.

She climbed up a tree using her very underdeveloped (Climb Lv.1) skill and waited for the rabbit to come closer to her position. As soon as it did she jumped at the rabbit using (Jump Lv.3) while having both of her paws in front of her to land with her claws first o the rabbit.

That had a big effect. The power of gravity, (Jump Lv.3) and (Claws Lv.4) caused so much damage to the white rabbit that it cut the head clean off.

` Well that was unnecessary brutal. Oh well the main body is still undamaged and I can`t eat the head anyway. ` With that she threw the main body of the rabbit in her system inventory.

` That caused a lot more damage than my usual attacks. Maybe I can utilize it in battle? ` Yukikaze thought about a bunch of ways to use this advantage in battle. She came to the conclusion that to be able to use this effectively she would need to have the High Ground.

Putting that idea to the back of her head she concentrated herself on her current task. Killing two more rabbits.

It took for her again an entire hour to find a rabbit sitting on a small hill. Since there wasn`t any cover the only way she could somewhat surprise the rabbit was with a fast rush up the hill.

Yukikaze activated (Dash Lv.2) and ran up the hill. While running a message appeared signalling another skill has upgraded.

( (Dash Lv.2) successfully upgraded to (Dash Lv.3)

Yukikaze noticed that she became faster as soon as that message appeared.

The Rabbit saw Yukikaze running towards it and tried to run away. But the rabbits weren`t able to run away from Yukikaze when she still had (Dash Lv.2) now she has (Dash Lv.3) making it impossible for them to run away.

Yukikaze used (Claw Lv.4) and sliced at the left side of the rabbit killing it instantly.

` Okay I only need one more rabbit and I`m done with this stupid rabbit hunt. `

Yukikaze quickly put the dead rabbit in her system inventory to start searching for the last rabbit she needs to kill.

It took her 40 minutes but she found one white rabbit. The rabbit was sitting in the sun enjoying the day.

Yukikaze used (Camouflage Lv.3) and sneaked up on it.

The Rabbit looked so peaceful just enjoying live. That was when Yukikaze strikes using (Jump Lv.3) to surprise it and (Claw Lv.4) to kill it. She quickly put the last rabbit in her system inventory.

` Finally I am done with this shit. ` She was truly grateful that the Rabbit hunt was over.

` Ten Rabbits killed within 4 hours and 15 minutes. That took way to long. But at least I have the rest of the day to already get some wood for the punji sticks. ` With these last thoughts Yukikaze went on her way to start collecting sticks to build out of them the deadly and legendary punji stick.
