I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

The entrance to the cave is extremely narrow.

Adults who are slightly fatter will have difficulty passing.

But the inside of the cave is very spacious, at least it looks like a hundred square feet.

It is different from the wet climate of the whole swamp.

The cave is very warm and there are no bugs.

Spread some dry reeds to sleep on the ground.

For wild life, it is very lucky to find such a shelter.

You know, for the past half month, Roger has slept in a damp tree hole, a cold bush or a tree trunk full of ants.

At that time, he was always in the little bed in Tongma Town with great nostalgia.

...

"Shushasha..."

The quicksand lamp shook slightly, making a dense friction sound.

Dots of white light slowly lit up, illuminating every corner of the cave.

Roger squatted down, ready to get himself something to eat.

He didn't light a fire.

This is not because of ventilation, but because the heat emitted by the campfire can be easily sensed by sensitive monsters.

Roger always tried to avoid troubles that could be avoided.

The food for this meal is mainly bacon sticks, fresh water and a plant called "sand potato".

The bacon strips were brought by Roger when he set off from Tongma Town, and there is only a little bit left.

Sand potatoes and fresh water are traded from Longya Village.

Roger is also quite fond of sand potatoes.

The shape of this thing is closer to taro, and it looks like a tuber of some kind of plant.

It tastes crisp, sweet and full of satiety.

The most important thing is that it can be eaten raw without much processing, which is suitable for a traveler like Roger who lives in the wild all year round.

After eating two sweet potatoes, the strength that had been consumed before began to turn slowly.

He stretched himself, lay on the reed mat and thought about the current situation.

Now that he has decided to intervene in this war, Roger must be fully prepared.

From a normal point of view.

The menacing gray dwarves are much stronger than the villagers in Longya village.

The people Roger met in the village were all farmers, and few of them could fight.

When these people meet the gray dwarves holding short crossbows, they are afraid that they will be broken at the first touch.

What's more, there are Humphrey's refugees watching from the sidelines.

This looks like it's going to be a one-sided battle

But it's certainly not that simple.

"The people in the village are farmers? So, where are the fields and farms?"

Roger smiled slightly.

Regarding this problem, he had actually noticed it a long time ago.

It's just that he was a traveler at the time, so he didn't care about these at all.

Now that I think about it, it is inconceivable that Longya Village can gain a foothold on Huangshi Island.

First.

There is not much suitable land on Yellowstone Island that can be used for planting.

But when trading with Roger, the villagers were able to generously offer such good things as sweet potatoes.

This means that in this world of extreme food shortages, there is no shortage of food in Longya Village.

second.

Longya Village is seriously short of combatants.

A half-baked hunter like Eric can be considered a master.

Except for the mysterious and unpredictable Cindy, Rachel and her flying dragon beast have a little fighting power.

So, how did they stand up to this day, surrounded by monsters and coveted by the refugees from the swamp?

third.

Rachel once said that the gray dwarves of the marsh came for Longya Village.

So, is there anything in the village that is worthy of the gray dwarf's efforts?

Roger thought for a while and found nothing unusual.

...

"Sand potato? This thing is indeed possible."

Roger thought no further.

Because in the absence of intelligence support, the deeper the analysis, the more wrong it may be.

He just needs to make sure that "Longya Village is not as simple as it seems".

Cindy must have something in her hand that can deter the refugees from the swamp.

Otherwise, Humphrey doesn't need to unite with some gray dwarves.

As long as Longya Village doesn't lose so quickly, then Roger will have plenty of opportunities to hunt.

He stood up and loosened his muscles.

With the dim light of the quicksand lamp, Roger started his work tonight——

He was carefully dismantling the arrowhead of the piercing arrow.

This kind of arrow is embedded, and there is a thin and short iron needle behind each arrow.

This means that an arrow shaft of the right material will fit.

Roger is going to replace these arrows with white feather arrows.

Although he can also use crossbow bolts, his efficiency is too low and he tends to pull his hips easily.

And the crossbow is far less flexible than Ziying.

So in the quiet cave, the sound of ding dong ding dong began to sound.

After a while, Roger completed this part of the work.

A total of 67 piercing arrows were seized from the gray dwarves, and he only kept 7 as spares, and he dismantled the rest.

Immediately afterwards, he embedded these arrows one by one into the shaft of the white feather arrow.

...

"You made a new arrow, please name the new arrow!"

...

"White Feather Arrow plus Penetrating Arrow, why not just call it..."

After a moment of contemplation, Roger completed the naming:

"Let's call it 'White Feather Piercing Arrow'! "

...

"Successfully made white feather piercing arrows, accumulatively produced 3 white feather piercing arrows"

"Your Life Skill: Bow Maintenance and Crafting (39) has improved"

...

In this way, Roger made 60 white feather piercing arrows in one go.

Better luck tonight.

None of the 60 pieces failed, and the points of related life skills increased by 5 points.

By the time the last arrow finished its balance test, a little light had already shone in from above the cave.

It was almost dawn.

Roger yawned and put down his tools.

After checking the mechanism at the entrance of the cave three times, he lay down to sleep with peace of mind.

...

dusk.

Roger woke up slowly.

With an empty stomach, he randomly grabbed two sweet potatoes and gnawed them.

Instantly refreshed.

He didn't go out in a hurry, but waited patiently for a while.

Wait until it is completely dark.

He just left his cave fully armed.

During the day, Roger heard the noise of duergars marching.

He reckoned that there must be a lot more gray dwarves on Yellowstone Island now than yesterday.

And after a day, the bodies of the gray dwarves he killed should have been discovered.

Once the enemy has taken precautions, it is impossible to kill people easily like yesterday.

Relying on Tiyun to kill by force would also be very dangerous.

Fortunately, he has prepared a brand new gift for the duerwarves.

Tonight is destined to be a real killing night.
