I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages

Chapter 30: Tough Physique

On the hillside covered with moonlight, a group of short, sturdy shadows approached aggressively.

Half of them were carrying crossbows, and the rest were equipped with sharp hand axes and round shields.

The gray dwarves who were patrolling at night looked full of energy.

Their eyes rolled around nimbly, and their ears twitched from time to time, seeming to be watching and listening to all directions.

Roger was hiding in the dark, watching the departure of the gray dwarf patrol.

Compared to last night, things really changed.

First of all, it was the number of people.

The gray dwarves’ team formation last night was in groups of six, but today, it was changed to groups of eleven.

No! There were actually twelve.

It was only until the patrol team had gone some distance away that Roger noticed a gray dwarf tiptoeing behind the patrol.

He seemed to be sneaking?

Although his movements were a bit awkward, there was no doubt that he was also a member of the patrol team and was earnestly carrying out orders.

“Is this to prevent a large-scale enemy attack from killing everyone?”

Roger guessed so.

Secondly, the weapons that the gray dwarves were equipped with were also different.

Maybe it was the tragic situation of those outposts yesterday that made them lose trust in hand crossbows.

At least half of the gray dwarves used a combination of hand ax and round shield tonight.

Such flexible and rapid adjustments made it hard to imagine that this was an army composed of monsters with low intelligence.

Roger felt a hint of curiosity about the leader of the gray dwarves.

But the reason why he didn’t make a move was not because of these changes, but because the location was not good.

It was too close to his cave.

If he did it near his cave, it would be fine if it was just a day or two.

But after a long time, troubles would easily follow.

After letting go of this group of gray dwarves, Roger walked east for two kilometers before meeting the second patrol team.

Same as the previous team, this patrol team also had a “11+1” formation.

The Qi Divination Technique first located the gray dwarf who was alone.

Roger completed the assassination effortlessly.

Then he grabbed the Violet Wind, following a few steps forward, estimated the distance, and decisively drew the bow and shot the arrow!

Swoosh!

The white feather penetrating arrow tore the neck of the last gray dwarf on the patrol.

The other gray dwarves moved after hearing the wind.

But just before they could see the enemy’s direction, another sharp arrow came through the air!

The second arrow once again took the life of a gray dwarf.

At this time, they finally saw Roger’s position.

The gray dwarf with the short crossbow in his hand cursed angrily, took a quick aim, and triggered the crossbow.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

6 crossbow arrows shot out quickly.

But Roger was indifferent. He still stood on the spot, aiming at the gray dwarves without small shields.

Taking out the arrow and loading it!

Pulling the bow and shooting the arrow!

His movements were smooth and easy, and two arrows took the lives of two gray dwarves.

But those crossbow arrows couldn’t hurt him at all.

The distance between the two sides was too far, beyond the range of the short crossbow!

The remaining two gray dwarves with short crossbows cursed aggressively.

It was a pity that Roger didn’t understand.

Taking advantage of Violet Wind’s range to kill four gray dwarves within seconds, he was already very satisfied.

Seeing that those gray dwarves holding shields had rushed over, Roger did not hesitate to run away!

His run made the gray dwarves helplessly furious.

They had short legs and couldn’t keep up!

Ladder Cloud Leap plus Moon Walk, whoever used it would know its effect!

After a while, Roger ran out of sight.

On the contrary, the gray dwarves were panting heavily tiredly.

Unable to catch even Roger’s shadow, a few gray dwarves bumped into each other and unexpectedly started to push each other rudely.

But at this moment, two arrows came out coldly in the reeds next to them!

...

Just like that, Roger cleanly eliminated a 12-man gray dwarf patrol team.

“Sure enough, low intelligence is a huge flaw.”

Roger was satisfied with his hunting performance.

He used the Qi Divination Technique to sweep the surrounding roughly.

Tonight, such patrol teams were everywhere on the Yellow Stone Island.

They seemed to be carrying out a large-scale cleanup of Yellow Stone Island.

On the Avenue of Lettuce alone, Roger found seven human corpses.

Their corpses had been inserted into the center of Avenue of Lettuce as a signpost.

Several of them were dressed as refugees.

It seemed that in the gray dwarf’s dictionary, the word “ally” didn’t exist.

...

...

Taking advantage of the environment and the positioning by the Ladder Cloud Leap, Roger eliminated 6 gray dwarf patrol teams in one night.

During the day after the massacre, Roger was awakened several times by gray dwarves passing by while he was sleeping.

They seemed very angry, as if they wanted to leave no ground unturned to find Roger.

Their number had also increased to an unimaginable number.

Several times, they almost found the entrance of the cave.

At the closest time, Roger, who was drowsily asleep, was already prepared to activate the mechanism arranged at the entrance of the cave.

But in the end, his luck got the upper hand, and the gray dwarves could not find his shelter.

The next night, Roger, who was not awake during the day, chose to strike back with a heavy blow.

He killed 9 gray dwarf patrol teams in one go.

The reason why he couldn’t kill more was that the [White Feather Penetrating Arrow] had all been used up.

After the night, the gray dwarves changed their strategy, and instead they chose to hide and not get out.

Although Roger was puzzled, he could finally get a good sleep during the day.

...

At dusk on the third day, Roger woke up on time.

He was not surprised by the changes in the gray dwarves. Last night, he had been observing from afar the several half-completed camps.

At that time, numerous gray dwarves were working in full swing.

They were planning to build a formal camp on this Yellow Stone Island!

If it was just a protracted battle, Roger was not afraid at all.

It was just that this cave would be discovered sooner or later, and he would no longer have such a comfortable sleeping environment.

Before setting off, he checked his equipment.

Counting the batch of arrowheads he confiscated last night, there were only more than 30 white feather penetrating arrows in his hand.

The leader of the gray dwarves was keenly aware that the crossbow arrows had no effect on Roger, so more and more gray dwarves chose the combination of shield and ax.

This greatly limited the role of Violet Wind.

But Roger decided to try Violet Wind for another night.

If he had determined that this range kill method was not working, he could then change to another method.

The best hunter would always constantly update his hunting methods like this.

The gray dwarf leader was certainly very smart.

But if he was just led by Roger’s nose, he might never be able to touch the corners of Roger’s clothes.

“Hmm?”

“The number requirements of gray dwarves seems to be much less than that of explosive magic frogs.”

When checking his own data, Roger suddenly found that the progress bar under the Mark of Evil had reached 2%!

He pulled out the battle record he had missed last night and found that he had gained a new ability.

...

[You killed 1 Marshlands Gray Dwarf, reaching a total of 200 Marshlands Gray Dwarves killed]

[You’ve received 10 XP]

[Your “Toughness Value” has been slightly improved]

[Your “Toughness Value” had been accumulated to 10%, and you have obtained “Tough Physique”]

[Tough Physique: Your resistance to diseases, plagues, and toxins is increased by 10%;

Your tolerance for hunger, thirst, and pain increases by 20%;

Your resistance to flying, collision, and pulling is increased by 10%.]

...

“A very comprehensive ability.”

Just 10% toughness value had this kind of effect, which made Roger very satisfied.

Estimating from the current data, maybe 10,000 gray dwarves would be enough to allow him to fill up the toughness value bar.

Compared with the 160,000 Explosive Magic Frogs, that was really insignificant.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the gray dwarf was not comparable to that of the Explosive Magic Frog.

...

After checking the equipment and confirming their conditions.

Roger jumped out of the cave familiarly and started the hunt tonight.

But after a long time, he didn’t even see a patrol of gray dwarves.

“Are they already doing it?”

Roger realized that something was wrong and started to rush in the direction of Dragon Tooth Village.

About half a mile away from Dragon Tooth Village, he saw the fires rising up into the sky and heard the tragic howls.
