Chapter 407 - Forest Field (3) (1/2)

Although Auron did not meet with the monsters all the time, it was better than waiting passively inside the rest area.

Three hours passed. During those three hours, Auron got a pretty good harvest. He killed 20 monsters and made 40 progress on his quest.

As the rained had stopped, Auron could not see any monsters. So, he got out of the hole. Auron took several steps before got an idea.

As this was a rare opportunity, Auron had wanted to make this place as his hunting base. When the rain started, he would have to come back to this place once again. However, with this many identical trees all around, it would be difficult to find this tree. Hence, he had to mark this tree first before leaving.

With that in mind, Auron turned his body. However, what he saw surprised him. The hole was gone. He tried to search behind the tree and all the trees nearby. But, he could not find anything.

This missing hole made Auron sighed. ”Surely, this training would not be this easy.” Auron thought inside his mind.

What Auron had thought was correct. The hole was actually provided by this place. It would appear and disappear at random trees. And, the amount of that hole would only be 10% of the whole population of trees.

The hole would appear 5 minutes before the rain started. So, if the training participant was fortunate enough, they could find the tree with a hole. The hole would last until 5 minutes after the rain had stopped.

If the person inside the hole didn't get out after the 5 minutes passed, then they would be forced teleport to a random place. As Auron got the initiative to get out by himself, he was not teleported.

Unfortunately, Auron didn't know about this information. That was why, when he found the hole was missing, he got panic. However, not long after, he calmed down as he pondered, ”Is this the helping tool?”

Actually, Auron had done his homework. He had searched for every information about the Training Tower. On this particular floor, Auron got the information that there would be a helping tool to help them finish their quest.

However, what had stated in that information was not about a hole. Instead, it was a lure trap. On this floor, a randomly lure trap would appear throughout the forest. If the training participant encountered and acquired it, they could use it to attract a [Smole] from their hiding.

The lure trap worked 100% effective. So, when they used that trap, at least, a monster would be attracted by the trap. This way, even when it was not raining, they could use the trap to progressed in their quest.

With this information, Auron's first objective when coming to this floor was to look for the trap that randomly appeared. However, not long after he arrived here, the rain started. So, he had to postpone his idea.

Then, the rain stopped. Auron gave all of his efforts to look for the trap. However, it was futile. He could not find a single trace of the traps.
