While sprinting through the tunnel Echo began to check his inventory.
Inside his inventory he saw a two sets of the materials he used for the flickering flower trap and some other materials, "Luckily I managed to pick some things before I do the evolution" Echo speaks to himself as he contemplate on what trap will be the most effective in this scenario.
The knock off version of the flickering flower trap that he used before may be a possibility however this trap may not be enough to stop his pursuers because this trap will need a detailed setup for it to be effective.
looking through his inventory again he saw a an oddly looking pair of sticks, "huh? I don't remember picking up this stick."
[Wooden Sticks {Unidentified}]
attack: 2
Strength: 2
Vitality: 2
[A pair of simetrycal wooden sticks]
[requires apprentice rank appraiser to identify the origins of this item]
"if this wasn't the sticks I used for the drum earlier then I don..."
Stopping mid sentence Echo got a bright idea all of a sudden, if this pair of stick is the same as the one he used before then he can use that skill and even if it's not he can still cast the lightning Spirit drum to struck those pursuers with lightning.
he started to formulating a plan revolving his use of the lightning spirit drum, the main weakness of this skill is that once he get into position he will be vulnerable to the attack and cannot stop drumming until he runs out of mana or the duration of the skill ends.
Seeing that he has at least 3/4 of his current mana, Echo believe that he has enough to last until half of the skill duration before his mana depleted.
----------
awakening from the stupor caused by the combination of [Microphone] and [Tune-Up] Echo managed to produce a sound that can cause a mini stun, added the fact that he also adjusted the volume to knock them out of his way.
This scenario brought surprise towards the twin Nico and Coco as they seem to think that the rabbit's moveset is far too advance for a beginner event.
"do you think it's a player?" asked by nico as he silently command some of his bees to absorb health from those who have more health to heal him.
"Just a hunch though but not entirely sure" replied by his sister cast a couple of healing spell to bring back his and her brother's life up to the safe zone, she also didn't forget to cast some heal to the surrounding beasts.
Little did she know that his action of her leads to the admiration of many and started to form a fan base dedicated to the Butterfly Goddess of heavenly flora.
seeing everyone is now ready to go Nico began his lead and shouted "Everyone to the tunnel!!!"
...
.
..
"I sadi to the tunnel!" with a loud bang Nico fired his gun in the air, the gunshot reminded everyone what they come here for.
[You have learned Wake-up Call]
[congratulations on creating a new skill you received 1 stat point]
"Sweet! I created a new skill." Nico was surprised when he received the notification of him somehow creating his own skill.
skill creation was a hidden mechanics in the game king of beast, by doing a certain action from using a skill one can make a derivative out of it. Sometimes one can unlock a skill if you do something repeatedly, this game after all offers the freedom of movement making it accessible to lot's of weird combos and way of combat.
"oh really? tell me what it is quick" Coco her sister was excited in what her brother managed to create this time as this person is also the same person who manage to discover that you can create a skill of your own.
"hold on I'll share you the details" Nico hurriedly shared the details of the skill he created to her sister.
[Wake-up Call]
fires a loud gunshot awakening the surrounding from status effects (daze, charm, hypnosis, etc)
[Secondary Effect: boost attack speed of allies by 5% for 1 minute.]
As her sister read the context of the skill they continue on with their pursuit.
some other group got ahead of them this time so they had to hasten their pace if they want a reward.

Inside the tunnel a rabbit with black fur and patterned with blue lightning bolt on his waist can be seen on the ground digging on various spots and planting something.
this rabbit was Echo and he is currently setting up a some kind of trap that will prevent the enemy to approach him while he was drumming.
The trap he was setting now was called entangled vines, this trap supposedly requires entangling seaweed or some sort of vines that can constrict someone at will unfortunately though he doesn't have any of those, and what he have is a glue like material, some bramble vines, and paralyzing dandelion.
The idea was simple, he will plant some cloud fuming grass to produce a foggy effect so he can hide the bramble vines which are criss crossed inside the tunnel then he will apply the glue like material in the bramble vines so that it will spread towards the oil that will drop towards his pursuers to make them sticky, lastly the paralyzing dandelion which is with him so that he can use [soul scream] with low volume and blow away the petals of the paralyzing dandelion towards the enemy and make it stick to them, this will form a natural barricade made of beast as the tunnel is linear and the person in front was paralyze and stuck with various that are added to make the trap more annoying.
from afar he can hear the noise of his pursuers who still wanted to catch and kill him, Echo is still currently unsure on why they wanted them to kill him, he heard earlier that there's supposedly a welcoming event to celebrate the launch of the game.
although he was unsure how's that related to him his thinking during this entire scenario was simple "I'm was just playing quietly all this time, but trouble came knocking so better be prepared for the consequence of messing with me."
