Ball of Nothing - Chapter 69
Chapter 69
As soon as the sun disappeared, Zero busied himself with an item hunt list . Mii couldn't help but be slightly curious . This was what Zero decided .
Buddha: Lotus Flower
Freya: Fire
Zeus: Lightning Bolt
Hades: Night Shadows
Isis: Mead
Sedna: Huge Fish Scale
En: Feather Pen
Grem Lee: Measuring Rope
Jen: Green Needle
Jeremy Hound: White Glove
Gaia: Green Leaf (found)
While some items were possible to get, others were impossible . Mii wanted to ask how it was possible to collect Night Shadows, Lightning Bolts or Fire . It was quite the list and many of the items could not be found on Endow Hill .
Zero wasn't disheartened . He simply decided to collect whatever caught his interest . For example, the glowing mushrooms were quickly harvested and stored in his void storage . At the same time, Zero was collecting dry sticks . The darkness didn't bother Zero as he was able to make out his surroundings using other senses .
Two hours passed quickly . Zero had absorbed and harvested a great variety of things including poisoned berries of different kinds . There was a strange plant that could move and tried to eat Zero . Luckily, Hades' blessing activated and sent the attack right back at the plant . Zero absorbed that creepy vine without hesitation and gained a skill called "Grapple" with Sedna's blessing .
There were some insects too and Zero wanted to keep the lantern bugs but had no way of trapping them . Reluctantly he moved along and climbed to the top of a tall tree . At the canopy, Zero spied some glowing light from a distance and decided to check it out .
Mii advised him to scan the area with the communicator just in case there were hostile parties involved . Zero did so and on the map, three red dots appeared .
"Does it mean that they are enemies if it is red?"
Mii wasn't too sure but told Zero to approach with caution . Without Truen, she didn't want Zero going anywhere near danger but after that argument, she knew better than to try stopping him . Stubbornness was something that didn't diminish even with the loss of memories .
Zero teleported over to a nearby tree and hid in the leaves . Below him were three horned rabbits . They were eating what looked like a leg of a huge animal . Zero saw that the leg had a hoof at the end and wondered if these new people were potential friends or enemies .
The horned rabbits had three rows of sharp teeth, two on the top and one below . Two of them had two horns each but the fiercest in the group only had one on the left . They had pink fur and red eyes . Zero thought that the tiny fluff of fur they had for tails was cute . Their tails were white and often twitched . It surprised the brunet when the largest of them with one horn spoke .
"Dingo, Mingo! Good job earlier . "
The horned rabbit called Dingo had two daggers sheathed at his waist . He grinned and Zero shuddered . Those teeth were scary!
"No problem Jingo! It was easy taking care of those two calves . With their mother dead, we can take our time choosing which one to roast next . "
"Don't do that! We should fatten them first," Mingo scolded and tore another huge chunk of flesh off the leg before chewing noisily .
Zero watch the three horned rabbits eat and discuss the fate of the two captured calves with disgust . He decided to change his initial plan of scavenging . After all, there were two motherless calves he had to save!
