Back at the same alleyway, the alleyway that he first met the spawner. He had quietly waited for the night to come. He is now ready to destroy the spawner once and for all.

The sun slowly set, the night slowly creep over the town and finally darkness bleach the land. The dark creatures finally come out for their feast and a man is ready for a hunt.

As he waited into the middle of the night. Finally, he saw an opportunity. A fresh bait of a weak spawn. Behind around the corners was the spawner and weak spawns. Though, there are more than five dozens of them. The spawner seem to gain massive growth before their last meeting time.

After a quick self-check of all his items and weapons, he decided to wait no longer. He unhesitantly position himself before shooting two bolts at weak spawn. A bolt to the head and the other to the heart. The weak spawn turned to ashes without a struggle.

Just right after, he can see that the weak spawns are encroaching toward his position from multiple direction. Trying to flank him, but he had already strategically plan his escape routes. He lead the troupe of weak spawns toward the traps that he laid before hand.

However, the spawner was not in the group.

Of course, while he was leading them. He had killed multiples of them as well, by bolts. It was not long before he reach his destination.

Looking back, a small portion of the weak spawns became drifting ashes.

The trap was set like a cube. Only two wooden boards are set on the opposite of the sides. As for the rest, there is four piston springs connect each of the corners of the two board.. On the back of a wooden board, there is a tighten rope keeping the board from springing forward. As for the other wooden board, there are many holes. All of the holes were filled with silver tipped bolts.

As he went past a certain spot within the trap. He lightly took out a silver knife and swung it toward his left side. The knife easily cut through the rope that is keeping the panel of the board from swinging forward. The board spring forward and hit the other board that he silver tipped bolts.

*Thud!*

*Whooosh, Whooosh, Whooosh...

Thud, Thud, Thud...*

A volley of bolts came flying from the trap and two dozens of silver tipped bolts ran through the crowd of weak spawns. About half of the weak spawns turned to ashes. As for the other half, 15 of them contain injuries and the rest remain unscathed.

+750XP

The chase continue for the next half minute until he past another trap that he set. Like the last time, the trap were the same. As he past a certain distance, he threw another one of his silver knife.

*Thud!*

*Whooosh, Whooosh, Whooosh...

Thud, Thud, Thud...*

The second volley of bolts came and this time most of the weak spawns turns into ashes. There were only seven heavily injured weak spawns remaining and he is panting lightly.

+825XP

Turning to his point-of-view to the seven remaining weak spawns. He reload this crossbow and continue his cat-and-mouse marathon. It took him a few moment to eliminate the remaining weak spawns.

Too bad, the spawner was too smart. The spawner did not join in the raid of the weak spawns. The spawner must have escape after the first seeing the effects of the trap, but he did not care.

He had hunted down most of the weak spawns in a matter of less than an hour. Slowly, he went back to dismantle his traps and took away all of the bolts and crystallized cores on the ground. Then swiftly left the scene.

INFO:

Cores dropped from weak spawns. Can be sold for a few gold coins.
