บท 116: Joint hunt

"Slowly, slowly," the pathfinder continued to utter instructions in a half-voice, making sure not to alert our prey. 

It was still pretty far away, but its senses were far sharper than humans'. 

Step by step, we inched closer towards the monster. Just like during a normal hunt, we had to take a long detour to approach it from the leeward side. 

To be fair, the only difference between hunting a normal animal and a monster was the fact that instead of aiming for a single shot to kill it, we just wanted to get the surprise advantage. 

"I will go first; you watch for its dodges," the pathfinder instructed, finally whipping out two spears and passing one of them to me. 

We were still roughly a hundred meters away from our target. 

This time, it was a pretty normal beast, appearing like a deer with way thicker legs than the one I knew from the earth.
