*boom!*
And just like that a small hole that was forcibly expanded in 2 months by the sheer volume of rabbits falling into it suddenly exploded in size.
The hole looks more like a pit now after the dust had settled. Thankfully they had thrown all the mana cores in a direction away from the hole.
Otherwise, this would have taken a lot longer to dig out everything under all that dirt.
At least the dirt was serving a purpose and covered the entire blood pool. The smell was nauseating.
Yes, smell.
Our trio figured for the last one and a half days will be spent on transporting all of these mana cores instead of hunting. Since most likely they will not make it in time after the season ends if they kept going at it.
So, our trio removed all the rebar and took the formation out. Had all the river wrapped up again with some rope to carry below her backpack. And her backpack carrying all the items necessary to remake a smell suppression formation if needed in the future.
Although the smell suppression formation is only useful to suppress the smell of low level monsters, it will still play a great use to our water elemental for now as she is still considered deep in the low levels.
The rebar can we repurposed for anything else that might happen in the future.
"I wish we could have gotten that backpack for 10,000 Sunstrikes. It could have held a lot of these things and make things easier."
"..."
'Dream on, that backpack didn't come with weight suppression. So you would still be carrying the full weight, that does not make it any easier than carrying it yourself. Not only that, the backpack only expanded the size to be twice as large as a regular large backpack. Meaning you can only store half of everything you got on you now.'

"But I won't look awkward carrying a bag as large as me!"
"..."
'Don't care about what people think of you. You do you. Just like gem doesn't care what other people think, gem is gem.'
"... For being narcissistic, it's quite touching."
"Well then, let's get this over with. Time to move all these mana cores."
"..."
'That's the spirit! And while you do that I will be off admiring myself.'
"Of course you would..."
...
"Hey wake up, we are almost there."
"..."
'I'm up, almost where? Oh I see, almost into town.'
"Yeah, took rest of the day and some of the night to load everything. After a quick rest, I got up in the morning to lead the horses back into town. The thing we can see the town close by now, the horses seemed to be really exhausted. Not even 10 horses can withstand the struggle to move the flatbed across the land."
"But thankfully we made it. Today is the last day of the season and by midnight tonight if you keep hunting white rabbits you will be captured by the guards and fined. The next 4 months is spent repopulating the white rabbit population."
"Once we reach town, we could find out by the leaderboards how we did compared to everyone that turned in. Apparently the town gives bonus rewards to those that have the highest hunting count. Makes me curious what place we are in."
"..."
'How are these rabbits not hunted to extinction? Seems like they die way too much."
"It's because of how fast they can give birth and mature in their population. Never has the population reached lower than 30% of its total population before hunting season. It seems that the White rabbit population is too massive for hunters to hunt them to extinction in 2 months. So, 20% seems to be a magical number that can't get any lower. But it's reasonable when you think about it."
"The first 5 weeks is when the population is cut down the most by about 60%, leaving only 40% left at the end of the 3 weeks of the season. And where the skills some people have and things bought like lures come into play to lower the population by 20% more.
"But there will always be white rabbits hiding in the burrow or bushes that many people will miss. Many more still just run away from the area faster than those chasing them in the hunting season. Those are the ones that make it and usually repopulate the White rabbits for the next season. Unless the city gets involved and hires some professionals to completely eradicate the white rabbits. But that defeats the purpose and eliminates a lot of their revenue, 40% revenue to be exact."
"..."
'Hmm...gem understands.'
