Under the scorching sun, in the jungle!
It was humid and stuffy!
Crack! Crack!
A struggling Ordinary Rank-4 Forest Boa was locked between its translucent purple blade-shaped forelimbs. An Ordinary Rank-7 Violet Jade Mantis, which was almost the size of a human, had completed its hunt. Its triangular head swayed, and its dark green mouth opened and closed. It was engrossed in enjoying its delicious "spicy strips"!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a green light flew out from the bushes beside it and accurately hit the Violet Jade Mantis's emerald-green compound eye.
Pu!
As the dark green juice splattered everywhere, it could be seen that it was a bronze crossbow bolt.
The extremely sharp triangular tip was comparable to a pistol bullet at close range. It directly pierced through the Violet Jade Mantis's triangular head!
[Killed Violet Jade Mantis (Ordinary Rank-7, Normal). EXP gained: 21!]
"Still nothing!"
"As expected, it's difficult to obtain spoils of war from killing creatures with a lower level rating?"
After the Violet Jade Mantis, whose head had been blown off by the bronze crossbow bolt, struggled for a few minutes before it finally stopped moving. Ji Ye, who was covered in camouflage paint made of grass juice, walked out of the bushes with a bronze crossbow in his hand. His eyes were a little disappointed.
Such a huge mantis that looked like a work of art. Any wing or carapace on its body could probably be auctioned as jewelry on Earth. It could instantly beat pearls and diamonds!
However, it was a pity.
This … was not Earth!
This matter had started about a month ago.
One day, everyone on Earth suddenly received a message in their heads at the same time.
[The Land of Inheritance has opened. A million people on Earth will become the first batch of pioneers to "land"!]
He did not know if he was lucky or unlucky, but he became one of the first million people. After "landing", he appeared in this endless jungle filled with all kinds of strange and dangerous creatures.
Paralyzing Black Hornets, Wraith-Faced Butterflies, Flame Patterned Scorpions, Golden Lions …
As a human whose initial level was only Ordinary Rank-5, Ji Ye was able to survive until now without even a blade.
To a large extent, it was thanks to his unique special profession. He was a famous video streamer in the circle who specialized in extreme challenges and wilderness survival!
In addition, he had a high reaction speed to sudden crises!
Buzz!
Just as Ji Ye bent down to retrieve the crossbow bolt from the Violet Jade Mantis's body …
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and his body quickly pounced to the side.
Pa!
A pair of translucent purple mantis blades that were nearly a meter long slashed at his original spot. The corpse of the Violet Jade Mantis on the ground instantly split into three pieces!
An Elite Violet Jade Mantis!
Ji Ye sensed the danger through the changes in the shadows on the ground and quickly turned around. His face, which was covered in camouflage paint, was grave.
This was a Violet Jade Mantis that was twice the size of the one on the ground. If it were to stand up, it would probably be slightly taller than him, who was 1.82 meters tall. Compared to the mantises on Earth, it had a pair of sharp "broadswords" that were even more eye-catching. Green blood that belonged to the same species was dripping down!
Fortunately, the Violet Jade Mantis's habits were similar to those on Earth. It was a hunter, not a warrior.
Therefore, when the surprise attack failed to capture Ji Ye, the Elite Violet Jade Mantis did not continue attacking. Instead, it remained motionless like a block of wood!
However, Ji Ye knew very well that the Violet Jade Mantis's emerald compound eyes, which were made up of thousands of small eyes, had completely locked onto him. As long as he moved, a new wave of even fiercer attacks would be launched!
For a moment, a strange standoff appeared between the two sides.
However, although Ji Ye's expression was a little solemn, his eyes did not show much panic.
This was because he had experienced too many dangerous situations like this over the past month or so.
"Phew!"
After slightly exhaling a breath of air.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the bronze crossbow in his hand.
Buzz!
Almost at the same time when Ji Ye pulled the trigger of the bronze crossbow and shot out the first triangular arrow with a strong gust of wind.
The Elite Violet Jade Mantis also moved!
A pair of scabbard-like wings on its back stirred up a gust of wind, and it instantly "catapulted off." Even though a green hole had been shot in its neck by the bronze crossbow arrow that was comparable to a bullet, its body, which was holding a pair of large sabers, was completely unaffected as it charged towards Ji Ye.
Facing the incoming Violet Jade Mantis, Ji Ye's figure quickly moved to the side, moving faster than the sprinting champions on Earth!
Whoosh, whoosh!
While running at high speed, the bronze crossbow in his hand was extremely stable. He continuously shot the second and third crossbow bolts at the neck of the pursuing Violet Jade Mantis!
[Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow]
Ordinary Rank-6 (Excellent)
Description: Weapon. Can be preloaded with five crossbow bolts.
Pa! Pa!
Two crossbow bolts hit the Elite Violet Jade Mantis's neck at close range again, and two more green holes appeared!
However, the Violet Jade Mantis was faster than him.
After two arrows, it had already caught up to him.
Whoosh!
A pair of "purple sabers" that were much more exaggerated than the mantises on Earth slashed at Ji Ye's head with a whistling sound!
In the face of danger, Ji Ye suddenly crouched down and rolled on the ground full of rotten leaves, ignoring the dampness. Although his actions were a little unavoidable, he had calmly avoided the fate of being "beheaded"!
Whoosh!
As he rolled, the fourth crossbow bolt left his hand with a whistling sound and hit the Elite Violet Jade Mantis's neck again.
Pfft!
Furthermore, the wound caused by the bronze crossbow bolt that was shot from an extremely close distance made the holes created by the previous three crossbow bolts almost connect.
In the next moment, the Violet Jade Mantis, who was trying to continue attacking, turned its triangular head at high speed …
Crack!
Even if it was an Elite creature, it was impossible for it to continue hunting prey after breaking its own neck!
At the very least, the Ordinary Rank-7 Violet Jade Mantis could not do it.
"Phew, phew, phew …"
After retreating more than ten meters away, Ji Ye looked at the Elite Rank-7 Violet Jade Mantis, whose triangular head was raised diagonally, randomly attacking the surrounding plants before it died, cutting them in half!
Ji Ye, who was breathing rapidly, held his chest firmly with one hand. Blood was seeping out from between his fingers.
Although his actions were extremely decisive, the battle just now was like a movie.
However, this was ultimately not a movie. It was a real life-and-death battle.
Facing a top insect-type predator that was born with two machetes and a "max-level basic saber technique" and was known for its speed, how could he say that he could perfectly dodge all the attacks?
The wound from his shoulder to his chest was more than a foot long, and it was deep to the bone. Even in a modern hospital, this was a serious injury that could be fatal if it was not treated properly!
"Heal!"
Gritting his slightly chattering teeth, Ji Ye quickly reached out, took out a white jade pendant from his pocket, and placed it on the wound.
As he spoke, some milky white light scattered from the white jade pendant. When it came into contact with the wound, it immediately stopped bleeding and healed.
[Healing Pendant (Bound)]
A starter accessory that could release transcendent energy to heal external injuries!
"Hiss!"
However, although the wound healed amidst the pain and itching, the color of the jade pendant had dimmed a lot.
Moreover, there were still faint red scars and more than ten similar scars. It was undoubtedly enough to prove what kind of difficulties and dangers he had faced in the past month.
However, every adventure and life-and-death battle also represented an opportunity!
[Killed Violet Jade Mantis (Ordinary Rank-7, Elite). EXP gained: 55!]
About two minutes later, after the Violet Jade Mantis, which had gone crazy before its death, finally stopped moving, a message appeared in Ji Ye's mind.
Following this message, the Rank-7 Elite Violet Jade Mantis's one-meter-long purple blade-shaped forelimbs suddenly emitted a grayish-white light.
Then, it quickly shrank to the middle, turning into a grayish-white ball of light the size of an adult's fist.
In addition, the pair of transparent wings on its back that could change color according to the environment, preventing Ji Ye from discovering it from hiding, also shrank into another ball of light.
Finally, a third grayish-white ball of light appeared on the triangular head that had been twisted off by itself!
"Finally, the spoils of war!"
"As expected, I still need to hunt dangerous Elite creatures!"
Ji Ye, whose face was a little pale from the intense pain, did not look happy after seeing this scene.
The world of the Land of Inheritance had a rule similar to the games on Earth. After killing a creature, there was a chance to obtain spoils of war from it!
Most of the spoils of war were related to the target that was killed. As for the types, there were all kinds of strange ones.
For example, there were technological, magical, fantasy, cultivation …
In fact, there were even things from Earth!
For example, he had successfully obtained a can of Red Bull after killing a reddish-brown Rank-5 snail the size of a millstone.
Yes, you heard right. A 250ml can of Red Bull. According to the description on it, it was still within its expiration date.
He wondered if the manufacturer of Red Bull should be happy or worried when they found out that they could obtain such a hardcore advertisement in an alternate world.
["You have obtained: Purple Jade Dual Blades, Mantis Type I Invisibility Cloak, Seven-Sided Mantis Fist!"]
After recovering from his injuries, Ji Ye walked to the corpse of the Elite Violet Jade Mantis. After touching it with his hand, he learned the information of the spoils of war represented by the three balls of light.
In the first ball of light was the Purple Jade Dual Blades.
It was a pair of short weapons that were made of purple jade that looked like military knives. The structure could perfectly fit on the forearm, and the blade that could be ejected from it was almost transparent. It could be said to be extremely hidden and could be used in battle!
In the second ball of light was the Mantis Type I Invisibility Cloak.
It was a tight windbreaker that could wrap a person's entire body. It could automatically camouflage and change color according to the surrounding environment.
As for the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist in the third ball of light.
It was an item from Earth that was similar to the 250ml can of Red Bull from before.
Ji Ye remembered that this seemed to be a fist technique created by a martial scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Although it was not as famous as Tai Chi or Wing Chun, it was still an existence that could occupy a place in traditional martial arts!
"It actually has a skill!"
After seeing the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist, Ji Ye's face showed joy for the first time.
The rules of this "Land of Inheritance" were similar to a game. Naturally, he had to learn this "martial art". He would not need to spend years or even more than a decade like on Earth!
In fact, when he touched the third ball of light, a notification appeared in his head.
