"Hm..."
It took around 10 minutes resting before every my photon reached its maximum value and I continued my training. Though, there was one problem that bothered me.
It was the throwing distance. Depending on the angle and the object weight, my maximum throwing distance for urchin dart was somewhere around 15m, beyond that it would diminish and completely lose its power at 20m or more.
But I found another discovery. If I put the darts in front of the wire trap, it had enough firepower to pierce 1.5l pet bottle sized tree, though the maximum distance was 10m. And if I manually created the wire trap, I could modify the thickness and the colour.
Anyway, after training and creating for an hour, it was clear that both construction and proficiency wouldn't rank up.
And making mental note, one single green dog had enough ingredients for me to create 50 bone throwing knives or 10 bonemerang, 2 set of 20 caltrops and 2 alarm trap. Wire and snare could be created by using the surrounding vines, as for the stink egg by taking the egg from rivel bird.
Then by either killing or maybe meeting the green baboon, I could create bone javelin and chump. Bone javelin main ingredient was a bone with one-meter length while chump main ingredient was a pound of meat.
After learning every information that I'd just got, I continued searching for another suitable campsite. But after an hour walking, my breathing became heavy and I found another problem.
Warning! Respiratory system is dropping by 10%
Warning! Respiratory system is dropping by 20%
While wondering why and what happened. I was sure this was something bad.
Warning! Respiratory system is dropping by 30%
As another notification came in. My vision started to blur, I was starting to get distinctly dizzy and I'd just realized I couldn't breathe.
Warning! Respiratory system is dropping by 40%
Congratulations! Running have been increased to rank 4!
I broke and crossed out of the trees in a second. I then leapt, scrambling up the rest of the distance.
Warning! Respiratory system is dropping by 50%
I redoubled my efforts, not even stopping for one second as I felt the burning feeling inside of my lungs. I was sure I could pass out any time soon.
Respiratory system is now normal.
When this notification came in, I instantly dropped to the ground. Panting, exhausted, shivering. "W..what just happened?"
Browsing through the database, when I opened the local chart I noticed the area in front of me had a grey overlay. It seemed like the area with blue overlay was an airless environment, at least for a human.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"...T...that was dangerous." Even though the area in front of me had trees and grasses, but when I opened the codex and scanned the tree and grasses in front of me, it seemed those type of trees and grasses were absorbing a big amount of oxygen.
Then... another mental note, number seven: Always checked the chart before venturing out.
With a deep sigh, this time I walked while paying attention to the map. But the grey overlay area was gigantic, no matter how many hours I had walked I couldn't find the corner from this area.
And then another problem arose.
I was too focused on the chart, by the time I realized it, several short green humanoids with pointy ears and wide, ungainly head already surrounded me.
Indeed I was shocked by their presence. But I managed to regain my calm, and patiently watching them. They wore nothing but a leather cloth to cover their crotch, from their figure it seemed all of them were male, and considering their weapon was stone hammer and club, I assumed their civilisation level was primitive.
Anyway... they didn't seem hostile.. maybe. "Erm...Hello?" I said in a low tone.
Though... I really regretted my action.
The green humanoids were answering my greeting with surprised shouts. They clenched their crude weapon and proceeded to surround me, slowly closing in as if I was their prey.
Did I offend them?
As I wondered about that, one of the green humanoids was throwing a fist-sized rock toward me. Though... having 5 Agility and 8 Perception really helped a lot. I might be not super fast, but at the very least I could evade the rock by shifting my body to the left.
Next, the other green humanoid immediately used his stone hammer to bash my head without a moment of hesitation. But what replied the green humanoid was my fist, straight to his face.
The miserable shriek from the green humanoid who had his nose broken down echoed throughout the jungle.
...Indeed they clearly showed hostility toward me. But if I was in their situation, line a green humanoid suddenly appeared on Earth, I bet hostility was the first thing we did to them.
But in a moment, another green humanoid or greeny had run behind me, using its scrawny arms to swing his wooden club desperately in an attempt to hit me with a loud shout.
While I was wondering why the greeny was shouting if he wanted to attack me from behind. I leapt forward and did a knee attack to the greeny that was throwing a rock at me.
With two greenies down, I wondered if they were the children of this planet native. And if that was the case, that meant I'd just hit children. Either way... I didn't want to kill them... maybe if it was an animal I could justify my action, but killing a person... yeah.
Taking a stone from the greeny hand, I threw it right at the wooden club greeny face... and one hit was enough to make him dropped down.
Now I was more convinced that they were a kid alien.
The last greeny standing or should I say dancing with a pole and dog skull located on the tip. I took bonemerang out of my storage, though just a moment before I swung my arm. Forming in the front of the dog skull was as large as a fist, a ball of flame emerged and flew towards me.
I was shocked when I saw the flame, I couldn't even lift my finger because of the shock but... The flame speed was... was like watching a balloon being thrown. It was slow... super slow, slow enough to make me snapped back and it didn't even reach halfway to my location.
On the other hand, the greeny was smiling bravely due to be able to create the flame ball successfully and gave him a massive boost in his confidence. His eyes alone was telling me he was sure with his concrete victory.
"....."
Words left me, somehow I felt nothing but a sadness. I tried to throw the bonemerang for as weak as I could. The bonemerang spun forward, pierced through the ball of flame, and made a crackling noise when it made a contact with the greeny's nose.
If I must say... my first encounter with the humanoid from this planet was... weird.
