Chapter 81 The Great Hunt 2 (1/2)

John slowly created a distance between him and the door.

His grip over the bow tightened. Droplets of sweat dripped from his face and back.

He did his movements very slowly and calmly so that he didn't alerted the Floran hiding.

He doesn't want to make the Floran go into hiding once again and take hours to appear one more time.

John closed his eyes so that he could feel his surrounding better.

The sound of his sweat dripping on the cold, hard stone. The roars from monsters in the distance...

He was able to hear all that.

[Found you...] John's ears twitched when they captured a strange sound coming from almost 100 meters away from him.

The rustling of dried grass indicate that a creature was walking closer at John's back.

While the Floran silently approached, John calmly took an arrow from his quiver and placed in his bow.

The Floran stopped for a few seconds after he saw John's movements. Once he was certain that it was safe, he proceeded forward, but now a lot more cautious and calm.

John took a deep breath and started to roam around the door, showing that he was still occupied with what was in front of him.

When the Floran was about 70 meters away from John, he stopped.

[Now!] John immediately turned around and aimed with his bow.

As his concentration peaked, he felt the world around him slow down.

Bullet Time!

He was unable to clearly see what kind of expression the Floran was making, but he could guess it was one of surprise.

John took his time to properly aim at the Floran with his bow.

The arrowhead glinted with the light coming from the glowing mushrooms around him.

*Swish*

The moment John released the arrow, he stopped his Bullet Time power and went back to take cover behind a rock.

*Puchi*

”Ah...” John was only able to hear a faint groan of pain that disappeared as soon as it appeared.

[Florans surely are strong.] John waited for a few seconds while hearing what the Floran was doing.

He was able to guess that he want to go around and see if he could shoot John from another angle, but...

It didn't happened.

Not even a few seconds laters, John heard the sound of a painful groan, and then the sound of something falling on the stone ground.

[It worked...] John popped his head out from the cover to take a look at the Floran that had just fell head first on the ground.

One closer look at the young Floran body and anyone would be able to see that there was a fresh wound on the Floran's arm.

It was John's arrow that created the wound. He had hit exactly where he wanted to hit with his arrow.

As to why the Floran suddently fell?
