After that, I look for a hideout nearby. Despite wanting to go to my usual hiding spot, I'm afraid another monster might ambush me. Therefore, I decide to hide and use the system store to buy some countermeasures.
After searching for a few minutes, I find a small hole beneath an old tree. I head towards this makeshift hideout with extreme caution, somewhat fearful that another monster might detect my position.
Once in the hideout, I look for an item that can help me hide and another to detect the stealthy lorg.
[Cloak of Energy Concealment 1400c]: The Cloak of Energy Concealment is a first-stage piece, designed for those who wish to move undetected. This device uses a combination of energy-absorbing materials and dispersion technology to minimize the user's energy signature.
[Stealth Detection Monocle 2600c]: The Stealth Detection Monocle is a high-tech device designed to detect individuals or objects using concealment techniques or energies. This device only detects stealth up to rank one. This monocle combines multiple advanced sensors to penetrate various forms of camouflage and stealth.
These two items reassure me, making me realize they are probably made using technocrat technology, and briefly making me consider changing my path. However, remembering that I can always buy their devices, I dismiss these thoughts.
After putting on both items, I activate them. First, I scan the area, searching for any stealthy lorg lying in wait, but after finding nothing, I evaluate how well the cloak prevents me from being detected, noticing its high quality since even as the energy source, I barely feel my energy presence using my senses.
After that, I assess my condition, something I usually don't do since my wounds heal too quickly, my stored vitality regenerates too fast, and thus I never get tired.
But now I have a new concern: the amount of Qi I have, realizing that three-quarters of my total Qi remain. Therefore, I decide to replenish my Qi before leaving my hideout, starting a slow two-hour meditation, staying alert at all times in case any lorg finds me, which slows down my Qi recovery.
Once I have fully recovered my Qi, I head once more towards a small group of three lorgs. This time, with extreme caution, I recognize a type of energy among the lorgs, indicating that one of them is a cultivator. However, this energy is not the same as the Qi I have and am used to, so I deduce it is a variation.
I use the cloak to hide my energy signature and the monocle to detect any possible ambushes. I advance stealthily, alert to any signs of movement or hostile presence.
This time, thanks to my precautions, the lorgs fail to detect me. The Cloak of Energy Concealment works wonderfully, completely suppressing my energy trail. The monocle also detects no lorgs using stealth in the surroundings.
I move through the shadows like a furtive predator, creeping ever closer to my unsuspecting prey. I can see the three cultivator lorgs resting together, their guard completely down as they do not perceive my approach.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I prepare to attack with extreme precision, shooting arrows at the lorgs' vital points. Due to the distance, which is neither short nor particularly long, the lorgs barely detect my arrow before it penetrates deeply into one of their heads.
When the two remaining lorgs become alert and try to find my position, I am already moving, preparing to take down another of them. Just as I planned, another one receives an arrow in its head when it stops for a moment, leaving only the cultivator.
This one, having an approximate direction, comes towards me, but I notice that it doesn't know exactly where I am since it doesn't come directly to my position nor corrects its direction as I move.
Thus, after a third arrow, it also falls. I approach to examine its Qi, noticing several differences compared to the neutral Qi I use. Despite everything, I can't say how it differs because I'm new to detecting these energies and haven't seen enough variants and types of energies to draw a conclusion.
After collecting my arrows, I continue my hunt, knowing that now it seems there are more than just normal lorgs in the common areas of the war zone. I proceed with considerable caution, although from the recent hunt, after concealing my energy, the lorgs can only use their normal senses to detect me. This makes me glad that my camouflage cloak hasn't become obsolete.
I moved like a furtive shadow, meticulously scouting each area before advancing. On several occasions, I managed to spot small groups composed of ordinary lorgs. Using a similar strategy, I first silently eliminated the lorgs with precise arrows before engaging in close combat if anything managed to detect and approach me without dying in the attempt.
After some hunts, I decide to return to my original hideout to replenish my Qi and wait until I can leave the war zone.
