Scorching hot bullets whizzed out, accurately colliding against the chitin armour of a direhorse. Yellowish bodily fluids sprayed out. Under normal circumstances, this cowardly beast would've immediately fled into the distance. But at this moment, under the torment of pain and agony, this fella turned its head around with scarlet eyes. Raising its gigantic and lustrous hooves, it charged straight towards them!
The horde of horses that were in a bizarre estrus were in a state of chaos. The air was permeated with a pungent fishy stench. The female direhorses excitedly dug into the soil, anticipating the duel between the stallions to emerge victorious. The actions of this raging direhorse didn't attract the slightest bit of attention.
When that direhorse charged into the dense forest, it was instantly slowed down by Reef's furious roar of 'Shattering Cardiac Roar'. Following that, a group of contestants who had been plotting for a long time pounced forward like wolves and tigers. Without exception, they unleashed a torrent of attacks on one of its legs.
Although the direhorse's defence was astonishing, after its two legs were severed, its movement speed plummeted substantially. Following that, everyone started attacking its chest. The muscles of this creature's body were arranged in a straight line, with multiple breathing holes. These valves greatly increased the amount of air it breathed in, allowing this creature to possess formidable speed and endurance.
But because of this, this area lacked protection and was exceptionally fragile. It was equivalent to a vital part of the creature, where they could inflict exceedingly high damage.
Sheyan took note of Lille and Uzel, their performance was rather average. Lille's attacks were swift, spicy and smooth. Wherever his blade passed, blood would splatter out. It was exceedingly bloody and vicious. Instead, Uzel cautiously aimed with his pistol and fired. His explosive strike rate was not bad, and he was walking the path of high damage in a single hit.
After a few minutes, the beast helplessly slumped to the ground, its eyes lifelessly twitching. Because of the previous agreement, after completing the milestone, all spoils of war would belong to party Ace. Hence, Sheyan didn't hesitate to snatch away the white key it dropped, and successfully opened an acute horn required for 'Penetrate'.
At this moment, Jin Ximin had already set up his sniper rifle, continuing to sneakily snipe. But this time, his sniper struck the eye of an unlucky beast that was dueling with its own kind. That beast was instantly enraged, abandoning its opponent and pouncing over. Yet this stallion's opponent wasn't willing to give up, and pursued relentlessly. You bastard, after kicking me 7-8 times and biting me 5-6 times, you think you can run away?? No way!
Without a doubt, it wouldn't be a problem for their party to simultaneously devour two ordinary direhorses. Following the flow of time, in less than an hour, Sheyan's party slaughtered the direhorses. Only a few females, as though awakening from a dream, escaped. Amongst the dropped spoils of war, apart from several rolls of leather and horse bones, there were also 3 strands of direhorses' nerves that were labelled as valuable items. Looks like they would be worth quite a bit if brought to the RDA company's Hell's Gate base.
At this moment, everyone had received two direhorse horns. Following the instructions of their nightmare imprint, they directly gifted them to the realm. Sheyan then received a notification:
"You offered up two Direhorse horns."
"You receive a title: 'Penetrate'."
"Penetrate: When attacking an enemy, there is a 3/1000 – 8/1000 chance of ignoring the enemy's defence and inflicting full damage. (The faster the attack speed, the closer it is to the 3/1000 range. The slower the attack speed, the closer it is to the 8/1000 range) "
"Only one title can be activated at a time. Do you wish to equip the title 'Penetrate'?"
"Advancement milestone: 'Penetrate' activated."
"Penetrate requirement: You receive 5 crystallized horns of direhorses."
"Details: Crystallized horns of direhorses can only be obtained from elite creatures."
*****
After completing the 'Penetrate' milestone, two contestants weren't interested in the remaining two milestones. They paid according to their previous agreement and left. However, they felt that the credibility of this little party Ace was pretty good. Hence, they introduced another contestant who wished to complete the 'Marauder' milestone.
According to Sheyan's plan, the next mission was to complete the 'Marauder' milestone.
This milestone requires the collection of 1000 units of Pandora's Superconducting Crystals. " (This crystal's purity cannot be lower than 16.8%). Yet Mogensha had already completed this mission! He stayed in the Starship Trooper world for another 7 days. Through the harvesting of that arachnid drone, he was shockingly able to use it in this world!
More crucially, the purity of the 'Pandora Crystal' that had been purified by the arachnids was shockingly 95%. This signified that Mogensha only had to fork out a mere 200 units of Starship Troopers world's crystals to achieve this milestone.
According to the information provided by Uzel, there were a total of 6 Superconducting Pandora's Superconducting Crystals mines in the vicinity of 50 kilometres. However, the scale of these mines were exceedingly small. To the humans of the RDA company, the cost of mining was exorbitant and not worth it. Hence, they were directly ignored by the RDA company. Yet within these 6 mines, 3 of them had purity ratings exceeding 30%.
Obviously, in terms of efficiency, going to these three mines was the most suitable. Because once a unit of Superconducting Pandora's Superconducting Crystals of high purity, then it was equivalent to collecting several units of standard crystals.
But as the saying goes, risks and benefits coexist. The massive tree known as the Hometree (Kelutral) would normally grow on Superconducting Pandora's Superconducting Crystals veins. The more abundant the Superconducting Pandora's Superconducting Crystals, the more massive the Hometree would grow.
Although the tree itself didn't possess any threatening capabilities, but to the Na 'vi clans who were adept at battle, the Hometree was their tribe's final resting place. The natural tree hollow was their house, where the Na' vi clans slept, ate, weaved, danced, and celebrated their Eywa … ….
To put it bluntly, the higher the Pandora's Superconducting Crystals of Pandora's Superconducting Crystals, the larger the Hometree would grow. Thus, the scale of the Na 'vi clans living there would also increase. Crucially, the Na 'vi clans were exceedingly devout towards Superconducting Pandora's Superconducting Crystals of Pandora's Superconducting Crystals … … this sort of religious fanaticism was deeply rooted in their hearts. Be it the uncivilized Na' vi clans or the civilized Na 'vi clans.
Therefore, the act of collecting Pandora ores there was tantamount to breaking into one's home, digging three feet into the ground, and snatching away the ancestral tablets and Buddha statues in one's home without saying a word. Let me ask you, if you were in this situation, would you immediately pick up a knife and fight him to the death?
Sheyan didn't know if the earthlings could do it, but he knew the na'vi definitely could. Therefore, when they neared within a kilometre of their destination, everyone became cautious. In actual fact, traversing through this dense tropical rainforest was indeed a rather challenging task. Purple vines drooped down like serpents, grotesquely plump yellow-green plants that reached their knees, intersecting layers of tropical rainforest ecosystems in the air. Earth colored puffballs that would explode with a single touch, and insects and creatures that possessed extreme offensive capabilities … ….
Even one's ears couldn't find peace. The chirping of cicadas, the fluttering of insect wings, and even the croaking of frogs in mid-air were all mixed together … … .nope, it was indeed the croaking of frogs in mid-air. Many decaying trees formed tree holes, and the rainy and humid weather caused the tree holes to act as reservoirs. Numerous species of tree frogs bred here, and by the way, most of them were highly toxic.
Reef slightly deviated from the path ahead, and inadvertently broke a withered branch. Crack! Crack! Instantly, a yellow shadow pounced out from the side! Reef used his shield to block, but Lille had unexpectedly acted from behind. His dagger sliced out blandly, but it didn't feel fast at all. Like a cool breeze, it sliced the yellow shadow into two.
After the yellow shadow was sliced into two, it frantically bounced about on the verge of death. Only after the arrival of the grim reaper, could one tell that it was a snake-like creature. It had a triangular head, a protruding chin, and a mouth brimming with razor-sharp teeth. It was biting onto a withered branch without letting go, as though it wanted to take revenge on this world before it died.
Beneath its head, was a pair of mantis-like blade-like legs that appeared exceedingly incisive. If it sliced into its body, it would easily carve out a chunk of flesh.
Reef glanced at Lille, but his eyes held no gratitude. He didn't even express his thanks, and continued advancing silently. Reef didn't mind such an act of adding flowers to a brocade. Lille's fawning failed, and his facial muscles twitched. Groaning, he sheathed his dagger back to his waist.
The trees ahead were a little sparse, and a bright orange-red plant appeared. Most of them lived in twos and threes, and were about six to eight meters tall. This plant didn't have any veins, and was in a translucent membrane state. It resembled numerous conches stacked together, as it spiralled upwards.
Piloting the 'AMP Suit', Makaji undoubtedly touched one of these plants. That plant immediately reacted with exceptional agility, and retracted back. In a flash, it vanished from the surface of the ground, completely concealing itself into the ground! From afar, faint sounds of trampling leaves drifted in. Makaji glanced over, and his pupils shrunk.
"This … … .could it be a spiral leaf? Everyone be careful! We're already very close to our destination, we might be ambushed by the Na'vi at any moment! " If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
