Chapter 38 Encountering Hunters, Special Abilities

"I got another 18 crystals. Although they are of D-rank quality, the mission does not have a quality limitation," Lin Kong thought to himself. "Let's keep killing monsters!"

Returning to the stone pier at 230 meters, Lin Kong noticed the limited backpack space and regretted not having a larger one. Nevertheless, he remained focused on his task. Sitting leisurely on the stone pier, he mentally reviewed the hidden tasks and bosses in Yaze's world. His strategy was simple: prioritize locations that are nearby with good rewards, especially bosses, as the [Blessing of Harvest] would maximize the benefits from killing treasure chests.

"Here they come!" Lin Kong spotted a group of irascible rock-horned deer rushing towards him. He launched his attack:

Lei Lin Assault!

General attack!

Arrows continuously shot from his crossbow, hitting the monsters with precision. In more than half an hour, Lin Kong killed two waves of rock horn deer herds, gaining a substantial amount of experience. Other professionals were still desperately searching for monsters, struggling in comparison.

[When your level reaches level 14, you gain 1 free attribute point.]

Lin Kong checked his backpack and found 46 kill chests. He opened them all at once:

[You trigger the Blessing of Harvest, the number of drops +200%.]

[You get: plane coins x9216, D-rank life crystal x45, D-rank stone thorn skill book x33, D-rank rock gauntlet x158...]

He let his talent devour 41 skill books, adding a new effect to his archery:

[Your archery gets effect 16: The arrow is attached with a stone thorn, causing 82 points of earth-based magic damage.]

"Only 32 life crystals left, and I can go back and hand in the quest." As he thought this, the system prompts sounded:

[System prompt: 2-star hunter "N020580" coordinates (1520, 4982).]

A map panel appeared, showing many red dots and numbers, including his coordinates. The coordinates of the 2-star hunters heading towards him were also visible. "It seems these two are very confident in their strength," Lin Kong mused. "They are coming for me."

With the hostile hunters still 20 kilometers away, Lin Kong continued to wait for the next wave of monsters. More than half an hour later, he killed another 400 rock horned deer and opened 43 more treasure chests:

[You trigger the Blessing of Harvest, the number of drops +200%.]

[You get: plane coins x9216, D-rank life crystal x34...]

He now had enough life crystals to meet the mission requirements for Main Quest 1. As he prepared to leave, he noticed movement in the woods. Two figures rushed out, heading straight for him.

"Haha, this guy really didn't leave!"

"Your life is ours now!"

Lin Kong observed them calmly. Using his exploration technique, he obtained their information:

[N020580·Luolong LV12]

[N020581·Luo Han LV12]

The two brothers, a warrior and an archer, were moving incredibly fast.

[Twin Shadow: SS level, connect a friendly unit, the movement speed of both sides becomes [the sum of the movement speed of both sides x300%].]

[Greed Duel Field: SS level, after use, attack/defense +30%, units in the surrounding area enter a duel state, and the victor permanently devours the loser's 10 points of four-dimensional attributes. 3 times a day.]

"Even though these are SS-level talents, they function far beyond SSS-level talents when combined," Lin Kong realized.

Luo Long activated his talent:

[Hint: You are in a duel state.]

Lin Kong was slightly puzzled but remained unfazed. Luo Han commented, "My attack distance is only 147 meters. I can't hit him from here."

"Then let's get closer. With our speed, he can't hit us," Luo Long replied confidently. They approached rapidly, but Lin Kong, undeterred, waited until they were 381 meters away.

He raised his crossbow and attacked:

General attack!

Lei Lin Assault!

A thunder and lightning unicorn struck the two brothers, their HP dropping by more than two-thirds.

"Damn, his attack distance is so far?!"

Caught off guard, the brothers became more cautious. Lin Kong ceased his attack and observed their approach. Despite their confidence, he knew their victory was far from certain.

As they closed in, their expressions turned from victory to shock. "No matter how fast you are," Lin Kong thought, "I can still hit you."
