Chapter 29 Finally...
*Boom*
Both of them looked down and saw the goat trying to stand up, it landed on snow but two of the goat's legs were broken so it couldn't stand.
The rest of the goats quickly ran away far from the reach of both of them so they had to climb down.
"It seems you were unlucky"
"I got one, with the XP boost isn't that enough" Huntress sneered at Alex.
Alex walked over to where the goat was, the goat tried its best to stand up and flee as Alex came close but it couldn't stand, Alex used his dagger and slit the throat of the goat without thinking twice.

"Not there yet...look there's more over there" Alex pointed at more mountain goats.
As they climbed down from the mountain, they could see more of the goats at the top of the mountain and other unreachable places.
"I can get them," Huntress said and kept her bow in her inventory.
"Why are you keeping your bow? Do you plan to stop them with... Woah..." Alex's eyes widen as she brought another bow outside.
The bow was larger and definitely stronger than the last one, the bow was blue and was decorated with three purple crystals that gave it a unique design.
She brought out three arrows from the quiver from her back and place them on the bow simultaneously.
'Woah...is she planning to shoot down three at a time' Alex wondered as he looked at her.
Huntress bent down on one knee and aimed at the three mountain goats, she took a deep breath before letting go of the arrows.
The arrows traveled and hit the three mountain goats on their legs, the goats stood on the edge so when the arrow penetrated their legs they fell from the mountain.
"Wow, so this is the power of a high leveled player" Alex muttered to himself.
Huntress quickly returned the bow back to her inventory and pointed at the goats on the ground.
Alex slit the throats of the three goats and he finally reached level 6.

[Congratulations on reaching level 6, you are now an official player, your rank has been updated and you would now be able to receive titles for completing certain tasks or achievements, achievement icon is now available...good luck on your journey]
'Achievement... that's nice'
"So did you level up?" Huntress asked.
"Yes, I'm currently at level 6, at least if I'm killed my account won't be terminated"
"Then let's proceed, the cave is over there"
Both of them went towards the other mountain and climbed it, more like walking on it because this particular mountain had a natural staircase that leads upward.
"Wow, the entrance is really big, is this how big the scorpion is?" Alex asked as they stood in front of the cave.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not...yes I'm scared a little, I just want to know what to expect before going in, and remember my reward," Alex snorted.
"No worries, so first thing first, the scorpion is brown and it's huge, but all you need to do is just to piss it off and make sure it follows you out, once it's out I would kill it immediately"
"How are you sure one shot is enough?" Alex asked.
"I'm going to use a skill, of course one shot Isn't enough to kill a scorpion like that, and I have something for you, I didn't want to tell you till I'm sure you are going in"
"What is it...is it a powerful weapon?"
"Powerful weapon...my only powerful weapon is my bow and you can't use it, I'm talking about a barrier, a strong barrier that cannot be broken"
"You have something like that, then why didn't you go into the cave by yourself?" Alex asked almost immediately.
"It only lasts for about 20 seconds, I want you to use that barrier after you have encountered the scorpion or when you are running for your life"
"Only 20 seconds...but you are sure the barrier can't be broken?"
"I'm very sure, no matter the damage it receives, the barrier would hold for 20 seconds," Huntress told him.
'Okay...this is slowly making sense, I just need to piss off a scorpion, then I use the barrier and run towards the entrance then she kills it, mission over and I get nice rewards'
"So..."
"I'm ready..." Alex inhaled sharply and sighed.
Huntress opened her inventory and brought out a blue object, it was a necklace with a blue pendant.
"You just need to tap the pendant at the right time, when the 20 seconds are over the barrier would disappear along with the necklace," Huntress said and handed the necklace to Alex.
[Magic barrier - Rare]
[Duration: 20 seconds]
Alex wore the necklace and held his dagger tightly, he was still a little scared of going into the cave.
"The cave is a little dark at first, but there are crystals that give light within the cave"
"Crystals...are the crystals valuable?" Alex asked.
"Maybe...they should be valuable but you can't mine them without the proper equipment, and even if you have the equipment you have to kill every single beast inside the cave and that is practically impossible"
'I will try my best'
"Whenever you are ready..." Huntress spoke as Alex turned sideways and looked at her.
Alex took a deep breath before stepping into the cave, the entrance of the cave was very bright but as he walked a little more, it started to get darker.
