Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 343 "The Pitfalls"

The eastern sky is bright and the morning dew shines white in the fog.

I checked the perimeter over the camera, and I jumped out of the tent.

"Mr. Reggie, are you sure you want to do this?"

Letty and the others are coming after me.

I nod to her anxiously with my willow eyebrows up the scoop I have in my hand.

"Verifying everything is important."

But, Reggie, you don't have mining skills anymore, do you?

Amy's sharp point.

I did transfer the Mine skill I trained to level 80 to the cartridge and sold it out.

That's why I can't crush the rock as much as I can now.

Even so, this boulder colony north of the Fog Forest withstood the onslaught of highly skilled and equipped miners.

"I'm fine because I don't use mining skills.I use scoops, I dig this way. "

Coming to the foot of a giant rock like a hut, I stepped on the ground.

If a hard rock is blocking the road, dig a soft spot.

My claim seems absurd to the three of us.

"How can you dig a hole?"

"Momantai, I honestly forgot because I haven't used it lately, but you have a handy technique."

In front of the lactos, who tilt their necks uniformly, I thrust a scoop toward the ground.

"Terrain maintenance"

Zakun, along with a light sound like cracking a cookie, decides the ground around the scoop.

The surface is smooth as if it had been shaved with an ice cream dish.

"Wow, this is...."

"That's the technique I used when I was hunting oily toads in Snake Lake and Swamp."

Lacto and Letty shout at it.

I noticed that Amy, who was alone, had not used it by the time she joined me.

The skill level 30 technique "Terrain Maintenance" is originally a technique used to level the rough ground and stabilize the tent, but its essence is terrain manipulation.

In a world of terrible freedom, you can use a scoop to dig a hole manually.

However, the effort is considerable and it will be difficult to dig underground corridors enough for people to pass through.

Since even the changed terrain will return to normal after a certain period of time, it is likely that even if the work is carried out without any measures, it will be lost.

However, "topographic maintenance" can dig far beyond it all at once by one person, and if a tent is erected nearby, the processed topography will not be repaired.

"Oh, but that's no good."

Letty opens her mouth as she interrupts my remarks, which she explains in a frustrating manner.

"" Topographic maintenance "is only meant to equalize rough ground, right?Doesn't it work enough to dig a hole? "

Well noticed.

I accept her allegations. [M]

In the first place, "topography" is a technique for setting the ground.

When I learned this technique, I could not build tents corresponding to rough terrain, so I just needed to be able to organize the terrain so that it could be built.

Therefore, "topographic maintenance" is only within the scope of “maintenance” and helps to remove horizontal obstacles, but it does not have much power to drill directly below.

"That's what I'm going to use there."

I'll show Letty, who can't help but look at me. I'll take out the sole with my full eyes.

There's no other way I don't understand the characteristics of "terrain maintenance".

"Instant Fall Restraint Trap Installation Device", commonly known as "Potty Tane.”

I took out a thin metal disc.

It is a small machine with three pigeons on the bottom and no aberration other than a button on the top.

"The pitfalls?"

"Ah, a beginner's trap that can be used from the beginning of a skill.Put this on the even ground... "

I'll put the disc at the bottom of the shallow hole that I just ground with a scoop.

Then the red lamp on the disc surface lit up.

"Just press the button."

Kakon, make a sound and the button sinks.

I'll go down to Letty's side and watch the pitfalls drive.

Beyond the eyes of the four, Tane pierces three jaws into the ground.

"It's moving!"

"Wow!?"

The disc rotates at high speed with the drive sound of the motor.

Under centrifugal force, thin wings jumped out of the side, shredding and blowing away the surrounding soil.

Wow!

The high-pitched balls dig holes in an instant.

Protect your face from the splashing dirt and the lactos scream.

"Tell me what happens in advance!"

Amy unfolds the barrier and blocks the earth instead of an umbrella.

There was resentment from Letty and the others gathered under her, and I apologized honestly.

"It was my first time actually using it...I didn't think it would go this far. "

The spinning noise of the motor stops behind me.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of something being ejected, and when I looked back, the hole disappeared.

Oh, there's no more holes.

"It's just the lid.They have camouflage sheets on them. "

Carefully approach the edge of the hole, pointing to a dark green sheet.

It takes about 30 seconds to dig a hole and unfold the cover sheet.

It takes time to install. It is relatively quick among the skills, and in that sense, it is easy and for beginners.

So, what do we do now?

"First it falls."

In front of Lacto, I jump into the hole.

The bottom that fell while wrapped in a sheet was about 2 meters deep enough to hold me neatly.

"And then I put a hole in the bottom again."

Remove the new disc and place it on the bottom.

Press the button and crawl out of the hole, waiting for a pit to be created at the bottom of the pit.

It looks like a bug trick.

"It's legal because it's systematically possible."

Make sure the shielding sheet is unfolding at the bottom of the hole and jump.

I was quite afraid that it would be as deep as 4 meters, but even if I didn't have the Acceptance skill, I couldn't help but take some damage.

Some of the pitfalls have iron piles sticking to the bottom, current flowing, and mines planted in the development system, but I am using the simplest type so there is no particular problem even if it falls.

"For now, this is about the vertical axis.Um, because the north is this way.... "

Check the direction at the bottom of the hole and stick a scoop toward the wall.

By using "topographic maintenance" at the same time as the sole, the wall was lightly shaped as if it were a pudding.

"How do I push through the horizontal axis?"

He stretched his chest toward Letty as he peered from the edge of the hole.

Unfortunately, it is a strange idea.

But they've seen me like that with sad eyes.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Um, Mr. Reggie, it's hard to say...."

Glittering at each other, Letty eventually opens her mouth.

"How are you going to get out on the other side?"

"... that's a tough one."

I completely forgot.

Yes, if you dig a hole down, you have to dig up on the other side.

But there are no pitfalls up there.

"And, Reggie, how are you going to climb?"

Eh?

I noticed even more when Amy told me.

The holes are too deep to reach the edges and the smooth walls cannot be grasped.

The diameter is not narrow enough to hold the body against a stick.

"Ah."

I see. It's an excellent trap that doesn't miss a prey that fell once.

The stupid prey that fell this time was a trapper.

"... I'll find you a rope or something, so cool your head for a while."

Amy's kind words soothe her heart.

While listening to the sound of my footsteps, I kept stretching my horizontal hole like an eight-point strike while lamenting my indifference.

Fortunately, the earth feels crunchy and pleasant.

Is it firmly consolidated by the pressure of the huge rock above, or is there no risk of collapse?

"I wish I could look for perverts falling up on the board."

Keep digging while thinking about things like that.

Even if it jumps out of the effect range of the tent, the consumption of "topographic maintenance" such as LP is only known, so the original natural recovery speed and delay will be enough to pay for it.

"Haaaaa... 'Terrain maintenance' va!?"

And a few scoops pointing with a sigh.

The softness of the butter until now suddenly turns into a metal hardness that inhibits the scoop.

Completely alarmed, I was struck by the shock and numb my arms.

"Nh, what the hell..."

In the dark, he stares at the wall with his eyes closed.

But I don't know anything about the lack of light.

I'll switch to a mechanical spear and light the lantern.

Eh...

And I looked at the two eyes that came out of the wall.
