Lying on the sofa, Su Yue swung her calves. When she heard Lin Li’s reply that he couldn’t co over at noon because he was busy, she subconsciously asked, "Are you on a job?"
Lin Li, who was nearing the wilderness, listened to another voice ssage from Su Yue. At first, he didn’t understand what she ant by "on a job."
After a few seconds, it dawned on him. "Mm, yeah. I’m on a delivery right now in my van."
"Well... how about this! I’ll save the seafood my mom sent for later. When you’re done with your delivery this evening, co eat with !" Su Yue replied with a smile.
"Mm." Lin Li sent a nodding emoji in reply, chatted a bit more with Su Yue, then put his phone away.
CREAK.
The wilderness was just ahead. Lin Li hit the brakes, parking the van on the side of the road.
He took off the clothes he was wearing, changed into a set of camouflage fatigues, and after getting out of the van, he scanned his surroundings to make sure no one else was around.
Finding no one, he placed his hand on the van’s door. With a ntal command, the van before him vanished.
’I hope I get a bigger haul today than yesterday.’ After stowing the van away on the Mysterious Small Island, a small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow and a brown arrow materialized in his hand.
He loaded the arrow onto the Spiritual Crossbow and, weapon in hand, jogged into the wilderness.
...
The wilderness was bursting with life after the rain!
CHIRP CHIRP...
Two chubby little birds were chasing each other playfully on a treetop. Suddenly, one of them stopped, for it had spotted a stealthy figure in the tall grass in the distance.
"CHIRP CHIRP...?" The other bird, still in a playful mood, saw its companion freeze and chirped quizzically as it looked over.
It then followed its companion’s gaze toward the tall grass in the distance.
Holding the small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow, Lin Li moved slowly through the damp grass.
’It’s just ahead.’
According to Lin Li’s Perception, a Spiritual Energy Wave was emanating from a spot just over twenty ters ahead of him.
WHOOSH...
RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE...
The early morning breeze rustled through the grass. The dense blades, nearly two ters tall, swayed in the wind with a soft, rustling sound.
A puddle had ford on the ground just outside the tall grass, a remnant of last night’s downpour.
Next to the puddle was a giant rabbit Mutant Beast with an injury on its back.
Right now, a faint golden Spiritual Light was glowing from the wound on the back of the one-ter-tall giant rabbit Mutant Beast.
Upon closer inspection, the wound on the giant rabbit Mutant Beast’s back, bathed in the Spiritual Light, was slowly healing.
This was a giant rabbit Mutant Beast that had awakened a Healing Superpower. Judging by the wound, it had likely been clawed by another Mutant Beast.
From within the dense grass, Lin Li clutched his small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow and peered through a gap in the blades, his eyes fixed on the giant rabbit Mutant Beast by the puddle.
He aid the small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow at the giant rabbit Mutant Beast.
He drew so Spiritual Energy from his Dantian and channeled it into the Spiritual Crossbow.
The giant rabbit Mutant Beast was only at the peak of Tier One and lacked any Perception Ability, so it failed to notice the Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from the grass nearby.
As Lin Li channeled Spiritual Energy into the Spiritual Crossbow, a faint golden Spiritual Light surfaced on the weapon.
Imdiately after, the brown arrow nocked on the Spiritual Crossbow also began to glow with a faint golden Spiritual Light.
Seeing the faint golden Spiritual Light appear on the brown arrow, Lin Li knew its special effect had been activated. He could now launch his attack.
THWIP.
Lin Li pulled the trigger, and the arrow, wreathed in a faint golden Spiritual Light, shot out in an instant.
With a piercing whistle, the brown arrow suddenly accelerated after flying a few ters, its speed increasing by nearly twenty percent.
???
The giant rabbit Mutant Beast was crouched by the puddle, using its Healing Superpower on its wounded back.
When it suddenly heard a piercing whistle from behind, it instantly beca alert and whipped its head around toward the sound.
It saw a faint golden streak of light hurtling toward it. The giant rabbit Mutant Beast was horrified, realizing it had been ambushed.
The giant rabbit Mutant Beast tried to dodge to the side to evade the golden streak of light that was closing in at incredible speed.
But it was too late. The attack had been launched from too close. At its level, dodging was impossible.
THUNK.
The arrow, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, struck the giant rabbit Mutant Beast and buried itself deep in its body, leaving only the fletching visible.
SCREECH...
Excruciating pain shot through its body, and the giant rabbit Mutant Beast let out a piercing shriek.
’A hit! Right on target with my first shot from the Spiritual Crossbow. My aim isn’t half bad!’ Lin Li chuckled to himself in praise when he saw his arrow hit the mark.
Then, with a ntal command, he retrieved a gray arrow from the Mysterious Small Island and nocked it on the Spiritual Crossbow.
SCREECH...
The wounded giant rabbit Mutant Beast writhed on the ground in agony. The brown arrow buried deep in its body not only caused intense pain but was also designed to bleed it out.
Gouts of fresh blood gushed from the blood grooves on the arrowhead, quickly soaking the giant rabbit Mutant Beast’s fur crimson.
THWIP...
Another piercing whistle sounded. After Lin Li fired the gray arrow, its tip instantly glowed red-hot, as if it had been heated in a forge.
THUNK.
The giant rabbit Mutant Beast was struck by Lin Li’s arrow once more. Unlike the first arrow, this second one had a tip that glowed red-hot, as if seared by fla. Once it pierced the Mutant Beast’s body, it instantly seared its internal organs to a crisp.
THUD.
The destructive power of the second arrow was staggering. The giant rabbit Mutant Beast struggled for a few monts before falling still.
’Took down a peak Tier One Mutant Beast in just two shots. This Spiritual Crossbow is amazing!’
Lin Li was genuinely surprised that he’d killed the giant rabbit Mutant Beast with just two arrows. Spiritual Crossbow in hand, he erged from the dense grass.
SQUAWK SQUAWK...
On a nearby tree, the two small birds who had witnessed the scene took fright, imdiately launching from their branch and fleeing into the distance.
They were likely afraid that the terrifying human would shoot them down with his weapon.
If Lin Li had known what the two birds were thinking, he would have scoffed.
’Those two arrows cost three thousand yuan. You two are just ordinary birds, nowhere near worth that price. I’m not an idiot; why would I waste Spiritual Artifact Arrows on you?’
After stowing the dead giant rabbit Mutant Beast on the Mysterious Small Island, Lin Li ntally summoned a brown Spiritual Artifact Arrow, which appeared instantly in his hand.
He nocked the arrow onto his small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow, got his bearings, and set off in search of his next target.
