Lin Huang sneaked to the side of the lake and took a few mouthfuls of water. He then covered the lid and hid himself, patiently waiting for the night to come.
The Sand Monsters had poor eyesight. Their body structure allowed them to resist heat and cold. They were not afraid of sunlight and sand. That was why they usually hunted during the day. However, at night, their field of vision would be greatly reduced. They could not differentiate between humans and animals more than 100 meters away. If they were not starving, they would not choose to hunt during the night.
Not long after Lin Huang hid, the night came.
It was a gloomy night. There were only a few stars in the sky, but it was perfect for Lin Huang to hunt.
Lin Huang quickly approached the foothold of the Sand Monsters. He had been observing the foothold for a while. There were more than 30 Sand Monsters. From the looks of it, none of them were taller than 10 meters. They were all iron-level.
The Sand Monsters did not have high intelligence. Perhaps it was because they had seen human footholds before, there was a fence surrounding the foothold. They even built simple sheds for their living quarters. The thirty over Sand Monsters and the simple sheds looked like a small human village.
Lin Huang walked around the fence. Some of the Sand Monsters had already fallen asleep and were snoring loudly. Lin Huang targeted a Sand Monster that was about five meters tall. The Sand Monster looked like it was only iron-level rank-1. It was sitting in its shed and rubbing its feet. After rubbing its feet, it stuffed its fingers into its mouth. Lin Huang felt disgusted looking at it.
He even started to doubt if it was a wise move to summon a Monster Card using the pieces of the monster.
However, time was running out. Soon, he got rid of the thoughts.
He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the Sand Monster that had no hygienic habits at all through the gap of the fence.
The Sand Monster that was hit by the stone picked up the stone that Lin Huang had thrown. It looked towards the direction where the stone came from. It saw something behind the fence. Although it wasn't far away, he still couldn't see what it was because of the fence. He stood up, picked up a three-meter long stick, and walked toward the fence.
The Sand Monsters had a huge appetite and were rarely full. Therefore, they would not reject any prey that was sent to their doorstep.
Behind the fence, Lin Huang smirked as he saw the Sand Monster walking towards him.
The Sand Monster walked to the fence and saw Lin Huang looking at it. It was stunned and immediately swung its stick at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang turned around and ran towards a sand dune not far away. The Sand Monster saw that and destroyed the fence in front of it. It then chased after Lin Huang.
To the Sand Monster, humans were delicacies that were hard to come by. It was drooling the moment it saw Lin Huang.
Now that Lin Huang was trying to escape, it would not let him go so easily.
Just as Lin Huang crossed the sand dune, the Sand Monster caught up with him. It swung its stick at Lin Huang.
However, a bloody shadow flashed across the sky and the Sand Monster stopped moving. Its head rolled down from its neck and blood gushed out. The headless body fell to the back of the sand dune with a thud.
A silhouette appeared next to the Sand Monster's body. It was a young man with white hair and a pair of red eyes that had turned completely black.
"Bai, good job!" Lin Huang gave the young man a thumbs up.
Bai was an iron-level rank-3. After the last evolution, his ability was similar to a bronze-level monster. It was a piece of cake for him to chop off an iron-level rank-1 Sand Monster's head when his Blood Power was fully activated.
"Ding!" Xiao Hei's notification was heard. A semi-transparent notification box popped up in front of Lin Huang.
"Congratulations, you have obtained Monster Card Sand Monster pieces x1"
At the same time, a large amount of white Life Light was released from the Sand Monster's body and it flowed towards Bai's body.
"I almost forgot that monsters can obtain Life Light by killing each other." Although Lin Huang knew about this, it was his first time seeing it.
In this world, monsters could absorb Life Light from each other. The remaining Life Light from a dead monster would flow into the hunter's body. However, humans had a unique physique. Their bodies could only absorb part of the monster's Life Light when they leveled up. This process was known as Life Light Illumination. During other times, unless one had a special Life Skill that could absorb Life Light, the Life Light would slowly disperse and no one would be able to absorb it.
However, as Bai absorbed the Life Light from the Sand Monster's body, Lin Huang realized that something was happening in his body.
In Lin Huang's Life Wheel, the third Life Light column that was initially dim started to light up. Soon, the third column was filled with Life Light and the fourth column started to light up, followed by the fifth, the sixth … Until the 28th column was lit up, the Life Light from the Sand Monster's dead body had completely disappeared. The Life Light on Bai's body started to fade as well. The changes in Lin Huang's body finally stopped.
"What just happened?!" Lin Huang was shocked. He did not expect that the Life Light in his body would suddenly increase. In just a few seconds, it had increased from the third column to the 28th column.
Under normal circumstances, one column in the Life Wheel represented one year of life. Since Lin Huang's Life Wheel was broken, his Life Light was 10 times faster than an ordinary person's. There were only three columns of Life Light left in his body. Initially, the third column was about to dim and he could only live for another two months at most. However, now that there were 28 columns of Life Light in his body, he was relieved of the pressure of death. However, this piece of good news was rather baffling to him.
"Xiao Hei, does the increase of Life Light in my body have anything to do with Bai killing the Sand Monster?" Lin Huang could only guess.
"The Life Wheel of the monster that is summoned by the Monster Card will be synchronized with the host. When the Life Wheel of the monster is full, 50% of the Life Light will be transferred to the host's Life Wheel. If the Life Wheel of the monster is full, 100% of the Life Light will be transferred to the host's Life Wheel. "
Lin Huang did not expect Xiao Hei's explanation. He was relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with his body.
"Killing one Sand Monster increased my Life Light by more than 20 columns. Does that mean that my Life Light will be full if I kill a few more of them?!" Lin Huang was excited as he thought about it.
Lin Huang crossed the back of the sand dune and headed towards the foothold of the Sand Monsters …
