Chapter 5: Hunt One Rabbit, Be Chased By Dozens (1/2)

.

I know I just said ”time to hunt” to sound cool.

But I am quite scared to attack these rabbits.

Yes, I am scared of rabbits…

But that is without justifications!

You see, the rabbits I fought were quite brave.

The little thing actually came to attack me.

Me, a little dragon!

How come a rabbit does not fear a dragon-like me?

I bet these Rabbits are actually quite fierce, I was lucky when I managed to evade the first one I encountered, or I would have gotten impaled by that giant crystal horn they have.

I do have scales but… I do not think they can resist piercing attacks like those.

At least, I would need to level up my Dragon Scales Skill, but I have no idea how to, maybe if I hit myself? But without dealing damage to myself, it is useless.

And my defense… There is no defense in this system!

There is only… Strength I guess?

Well, whatever.

Anyways, as I was saying, these rabbits are deadly.

I cannot take them lightly.

What if I run there and they quickly notice, and I get impaled by dozens of rabbits?!

Even with my regeneration, without Mana or energy to fuel it, I will surely die.

And I am currently starving, so I do not have enough fuel to boost my regeneration…

Also, I am terrible at using mana, so I cannot really use magic, which is also too strong for someone so terrible at it.

Life is a pain.

I am filled with cheats, yet I am already struggling to see how I can hunt a rabbit.

I guess with great cheats come great responsibilities.

Wait, that did not make any sense at all.

Anyways, now what?

I cannot run straight to them because I am going to get killed.

Do these rabbits eat meat?

Well, they are eating grass, but maybe, if they are aggressive, they might even fancy my tender ice dragon meat…

Just picturing all these rabbits ravaging my body with their fangs and taking away all of my flesh makes me reconsider this whole thing.

I need a way to distract a single one of them, bring it out of the group, and strike it down…

Hmm, like the lion documentaries I have seen on Earth!

Hahh… Lions have it rough.

I keep looking at the rabbits slowly eating until finally, a little one begins to stray away from the big ones…

It hops around, sniffing the snow and trying to find more grass to eat.

Suddenly, it walks away quite considerably… it is around ten meters away from the rest!

The other seems quite oblivious…

I bet having giant horns and being all packed together really makes them confident that nothing wrong can happen, huh?

I lick my fangs as I stealthily move through the snow… I think my reflective, ice-like scales make it hard for me to be seen, especially if I walk so slowly and near the snow.

I find the rabbit finally finding a patch of bluegrass, which it begins to eat rather carefreely.

I glance back at the other rabbits, they seem just as relaxed.

Really, they are way too confident!

I am about to break that confidence right about now.
