Chapter 7: The Gift of Death, Multiple Arrow Shadows!
Dragon's Breath Grass is a sacred relic to creatures with dragon blood, refining their bloodline to produce evolution. Lin Kong didn't attack immediately; the giant boar took five minutes to evolve. As its quality improved, the kill reward would also increase. He began looking for suitable terrain.
"This spot is perfect!" Lin Kong's eyes lit up as he spotted a cliff covered with vines. It was more than ten meters high. As long as the monster had no means of long-range attack, he could use the terrain to his advantage.
Snap!
The sound of breaking branches alerted him. Lin Kong quickly hid in the corner of the woods, watching the direction of the sound. A level 6 professional appeared at the entrance, marked with a red ID indicating an enemy.
The enemy scanned the area and spotted the energy cocoon. "Hahaha, luck is on my side! An evolving elite monster!" the hostile professional exclaimed, holding a great sword.
The distance between them was 50 meters, while Lin Kong's attack range was only 42 meters. He moved forward 2 meters, then drew his bow.
Regular shot!
Precision shot!
Four arrows flew in a straight line, three hitting the enemy's neck.
-184!
-128!
-128!
All were weak point damage, but without a critical hit, the enemy still had two-thirds of their HP.
"Bastard, who's attacking me?" the enemy shouted, shocked by the damage. They turned to pursue, but at 48 meters, catching up wasn't easy. Lin Kong retreated, continuing his attack.
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
The arrows kept hitting until the enemy fell.
[Hint: You killed the professional "N036293"...]
A treasure chest emerged from the corpse.
"After killing so many, none had resurrection items," Lin Kong mused, appreciating the gift from Ning Qing even more. He opened the professional treasure chest.
[Ding! You get items: "Planar Coin x72", "D-Rank Medal x1", "Armor-breaking Sword Strike·B-Rank".]
"A B-rank skill book and a D-rank medal," Lin Kong smiled. The skill book required level 10 to learn. The enemy likely had an experience bonus talent, entering Silver Moon World later but leveling faster. Now, Lin Kong could take advantage of it.
He let his talent devour the skill book.
[Ding, your archery gains effect 5: Arrow attack -5 points of physical defense, up to 300 points, effect cleared after battle.]
[Ding, your archery gains effect 1: Physical arrow damage +40.]
The B-rank skill book not only enhanced effect 5 but also increased effect 1's damage. The "D-rank Medal" was crucial too. To take items out of the game, professionals needed medals of equivalent quality and plane coins.
"This guy must have completed a D-rank mission," Lin Kong guessed.
As the monster's evolution neared completion, Lin Kong climbed the vines, positioning himself ten meters high on the cliff. He tied a few vines around his waist for security.
Boom! Boom!
A strong heartbeat echoed in the valley as the energy cocoon shattered, revealing a giant wild boar covered in tough dragon scales.
[Dragon Tooth Wild Boar Elite]
Level: 4
Rank: B
HP: 12000
Attack: 385
Skills: Dragon Skin, Slam, Boiling Dragon Blood
"Roar!" The wild boar charged like a train toward Lin Kong.
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
Lin Kong fired arrows continuously. The arrows clinked against the dragon scales, creating a sound like metal collision.
Boom!
The wild boar slammed into the cliff, rubble flying, but it couldn't reach Lin Kong.
"Since you can't threaten me, just die obediently," Lin Kong muttered, attacking calmly. Initially, his damage was "0", but starting from the 21st arrow, he began to break through the defense.
-1!
-126! (crit)
-11!
...
Regular attacks dealt two-digit damage, while critical hits reached three digits. The Dragon Tooth Wild Boar's HP decreased steadily.
Boom!
The monster slammed into the cliff repeatedly but achieved little, forced to endure Lin Kong's attacks.
Monster HP:
8520...5232...2853...
After countless arrows, the Dragon Tooth Wild Boar's HP dropped below 1000 points.
"Roar!" It roared in fury, its body boiling with bright red blood. Two protrusions appeared on its head.
[Hint: Dragon Tooth Wild Boar enters a half-dragon state, attack power +50%, defense power +50%, gains small dragon breath...]
-10, -10, -10...
Its HP decreased automatically.
"Dragon Breath?!" Lin Kong's expression changed. The wild boar opened its mouth, spewing red dragon breath at him. Unable to move easily on the cliff, Lin Kong was hit instantly.
-816! -816! -816!
His HP bar emptied.
[Ding! To trigger the death gift, please specify the resurrection location.]
Lin Kong set the priority of talent and [Blood Dragon Scale].
"Forest," he chose decisively, returning to his previous hiding spot. He disappeared from the cliff.
"Phew..." The Dragon Tooth Wild Boar thought it had killed him, the blood dissipating. It turned back toward its cave.
[Ding, you get the benefit: "Multiple Arrow Shadows", refreshes after leaving this world.]
[Multiple Arrow Shadows: When you shoot an arrow, it will split into an arrow shadow with the same damage. For every 10 levels, the number of arrow shadows increases by 1.]
"It's a nice benefit, but temporary," Lin Kong sighed, slightly disappointed. However, his primary talent [Arrows Carry the Path] was powerful enough, and the [Death Gift] effect was a bonus.
