My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 84: Bait

As for why it’s Bottom Adventurers instead of Black Iron Level Adventurer Squad?

It’s because whether it’s from the equipment—’spears, short swords, shields plus nose guard helmet’, or the expression and demeanor, you can tell this.

"Searching for herbs?"

Raine suddenly remembered the Ice Cover Grass quest he’d seen in the guild hall earlier and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, that’s correct. This area doesn’t count as a true snowfield, so there are hardly any snowfield demons around, but the chances of encountering goblins are higher." Laisa said as she walked.

Meanwhile, not far away in the woodland.

"Boss, look over there; those two women are beautiful." A young man wearing a nose guard helmet hurriedly said to the strong man searching for herbs beside him.

"They must be here to find herbs too; should we go say hi?"

Hmm?

Beautiful women?

"Where?"

The strong man immediately looked over with interest.

After all, for most Bottom Adventurers with not enough mental fortitude, every task comes with some risk, and over time, the psychological pressure is quite significant. If they can’t relieve themselves through alcohol and prostitutes, they can hardly endure.

And beautiful women are their common hobby, naturally.

Even if you’re searching for herbs, if you can find a decently looking female companion, the work becomes less tiresome with a male-female combination.

If afterwards, you can engage in some deeper communication, that would be even better.

But with just a glance, the strong man slapped the young man’s head in annoyance.

"Ouch!" The young man held his head, looking at his boss in confusion.

"Stop looking! Idiot!" Considering the adventurers’ sensitive perception, the strong man immediately turned his head away, not daring to look anymore.

"The one wearing leather armor is an Official Rogue, and the one in robes should be an Official Priest." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"How many guts do you have to go chat them up!"

"That young man in plate armor must be a Warrior Classes. Even if we sold all our squad’s equipment, we probably couldn’t afford even the chest armor on him."

The young man wrinkled his nose, lowered his head, and muttered: "It’s so unfair, our squad is all men, smelling of stinky feet and snoring like thunder day in and day out."

"This guy has two women with him, and one of them is even a Female Priest?"

Damn, same adventure, why is he enjoying it so much!

"Hmph! Come back and talk when you become Classes!"

"Alright, stop daydreaming now. If we find some Ice Cover Grass, you can find some women and enjoy tonight."

...

With Sensitive Hearing Level 2, Raine naturally heard this conversation, but since it was only in the other guy’s mind, he didn’t hold a grudge.

Instead, their envious tone somewhat provided him with some emotional value.

"If we walk up for another hour, we’ll reach the area where Frost Blade Leopard might appear, though the probability isn’t high." Laisa continued.

"But I’d suggest we try our luck in that area."

"Because deeper, there’s a certain chance we’ll encounter Owl Bears and Winter Wolf Pack."

"Of course, safety first." Raine nodded.

He had already considered this while on the road.

Safer to stick to the edge, leading to a lower chance of encountering Frost Blade Leopard, and not push forward recklessly.

For their squad, facing paired Owl Bears or hunting packs of four to six Winter Wolves would result in an outcome...

Actually, even if they don’t encounter Frost Blade Leopard this time, knowing the entire process counts as a good foundation for organizing a team themselves next time.

An hour later.

The scenery in front of Raine changed once more; as they climbed higher, the dense coniferous forest became sparse, replaced by extensive alpine meadows.

The temperature dropped further, and the white mist from breathing grew thicker.

"By the way, we still have one more thing to do, we need to find some bait in this area." Laisa looked around and said.

"Bait?" Elise blinked her big eyes.

"Yes, Frost Blade Leopard’s two favorite preys, we can choose either kind, one is the mountain goat, and the other is the Snow Rabbit."

"Mountain goat and Snow Rabbit?"

"Yes, Frost Blade Leopard is very sensitive to the smell of blood; a little bleeding from either prey will attract it automatically."

"Which one works best?" Raine thought for a moment and asked.

Choosing the edge of the snowfield is safe, but this also means that Frost Blade Leopards are more scarce in the same area.

Therefore, if the right bait can slightly increase the chance of luring Frost Blade Leopard, it’s worth striving for.

"The best effect is naturally with Snow Rabbit!"

"However, while Snow Rabbit is better, they generally only come out at night, and at this time, they should be hiding in underground burrows; our time is limited, so let’s search around for traces of mountain goats instead."

Laisa said, then began to look around for possible hiding places for mountain goats.

"Snow Rabbit? Underground burrow?" Raine’s eyes flickered.

After thinking for a moment, Raine slightly parted the frost on the alpine meadow, placing his hand on the grass.

He then focused entirely on detecting the subtle vibrations of the ground, using the tactile perception of Deep Moss Spider Level 2.

’Some insect is 5 meters left-front, near the surface underground, nibbling on roots.’

’About 15 meters ahead on the right, approximately 1.5 meters underground, there’s rhythmic breathing of multiple animals.’

’About 20 meters behind, 2 meters underground, there’s an animal digging the soil.’

’....’

Soon, Raine stood up, thoughtful.

Animals in underground burrows, as long as they lie on the cave floor, their heartbeat will emit specific frequency vibrations, allowing Raine to perceive it.

’The ones digging soil aren’t Snow Rabbits.’

’It’s highly likely that the steady breathing source is.’

’However, it’s equally possible they’re snowfield voles or marmots; it’s unclear really.’

’But it’s worth a try nevertheless.’

Raine immediately made a decision.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming?"

"If you don’t help finding the mountain goats, you can’t blame me if there’s no time." Laisa glared at the ’dreaming’ Raine in annoyance.

"There’s something here, not sure if it’s Snow Rabbit, Miss Laisa, prepare yourself." Raine said while heading right-forward.

"Hmm?" Laisa was still unsure what Raine meant.

Elise also looked quizzically at Raine.

However, Raine had already reached where the breathing vibrations were strongest.

Raine took a deep breath, weighed the cold steel warhammer in his hand.

The next second!

The warhammer was raised high; his swollen right arm muscles swung the heavy warhammer, creating a howling sound, striking the ground heavily.

"Bang!"

Like a high-speed falling cannonball onto the frost-covered meadow, immediately, grass stalks, frost flowers, soil, all exploded and scattered.

Even standing seven or eight meters away, when the soil hit the thigh, Laisa felt a sharp pain.

Staring at the warhammer almost entirely sunk into the dirt, and the roughly meter-wide crater Raine created, Laisa and Elise looked at each other, baffled by Raine’s unexpected action.

Suddenly!

From a meadow a few meters away, four snow-white rabbits leapt out, two big and two small.
