Chapter 6 - A bait for birds baited something else...

Year 1 Month 1 week2

Week 2 (Day 3)

So for today I'm going keep on baiting birds. Baiting birds feels kind of like fishing maybe this skill is usually used for fishing? Well anyways this is how it works.

When I'm doing it consciously it feels like I'm connected to the bird with a white string in a blanc world where I and only the target are, let me explain. After entering this world, I would spot targets flying by and the strings would keep getting cut and even if it ain't cut the Target won't go into the traps and just gaze with curiosity. In order to get them go onto the traps the strings must not get severed and catch the Targets attention, when both of these are achieved the next thing that has to happen is for the string to go like *click* and turn red after this it's up to me to trap them.

Now if I try to interfere my brain would start feeling some kind of burden, I could "strengthen" the strings so less strings would get cut off. this in itself already makes my brain feel tired, then I would try calling out to one of them to catch their attention then for the final push for it to "click" well I have no idea this is the third hardest thing to do in the process while the hardest being maintaining this state and the second is entering the world.

"Whew that was tiring feels like running a mental marathon. The same feeling after finishing a 100 question long math test" Alex said mentally wiping his sweet off his head.

"Twee~weet" Maya said trying to energies him her bird songs

"Thanks, I'm ok now. That marks our very first catch of the day" Alex said while looking at the trapped bird.

After starting to absorb it he can feel power surging though his stems and he is now pretty sure that he is actually growing faster now that he is absorbing Nutrients from his catches.

Also, when he tried using this on Maya she said that she felt weird. She said that it feels like she is about to come.

So this is what it feels like to Maya. Alex thought still baiting Maya.

And then suddenly Maya came. She went straight into one of the traps after he stopped baiting Maya thinking she had enough

Alex once again gazed at the Wild Pigs fighting over a scrap of meat he though maybe I should now use the boar trap on pigs first?

A boar trap, the boar trap that he created is designed to be a cave like trap. He plans to lure them there by using some birds or squirrels as bait or if they just want to take shelter.

Maybe I should start testing them out on none monsters first. He thought

But then suddenly an arrow hit the Small pigs head and pierced through it. Alex instantly stopped his train of thought and complete stopped all of his movements. Because of his panic there's a huge chance he will get discovered because he froze every bit of movement. Including the movement of the leaves.

Upon realizing this he hastily tried to sway naturally. I already look suspicious and now this I hope they didn't see me.

And to his luck a group of Adventurers came in with a single archer in tow. He was frightened by the fact that his monster instincts are telling he would die if he does anything stupid.

"Of course I would die I haven't forgot the fact that I'm still rank 1 and an incomplete Treant" he thought to himself

He also told Maya to stay inside one of the hole traps and after that he closed so that only air can enter.

Who knows what they will do, they might decide to have a bird with that pig. While he was thinking of this the Adventurers suddenly started walking towards them.

Is this it, would I have to fight a battle that I can't possibly win those strong looking adventurers(a little exaggerated) and I, a Treant. Will have a honorable-

While he is trying harden his resolve by saying whatever comes to mind the 3 Adventurers were having a conversation.

"Yes that's it you shot it straight in the head" said one of them

"To think last year you could barely just hit the target never mind the head, it was still a close target though"

"Are you going to complement me or what? said the archer girl

"That tree their looks quite a good place to set up camp, we will stay there and wait for tomorrow" said the first one of them after looking at the sun that is close to setting.

"Yeah it looks like a perfect place, well what are we waiting for?"

"Yeah we can cook near their too and there's a lot of dry fallen branches. If we just ignore the fact that it looks shady" said the archer girl

"Yeah but it kinda has this weird appeal"

The other two seem to be in agreement with the first guy

So the three of them started walking towards the tree
