nMoooo…

n

n

nIn the forest, there was a tragic beast roar.

n

n

nA bull that was close to the height of an adult’s body and had fur that was similar to bronze crashed into a two-meter-tall rock.

n

n

nBam!

n

n

nIts saber-like horns easily left two punctures on the surface of the granite rock, sending several shards flying.

n

n

nThe bronze bull collapsed a few seconds later; three bolts that almost resembled its skin color were currently lodged inside its throat, eye and heart, while letting out dark-violet blood through the blood grooves rapidly.

n

n

nKilled Bronze Bull (Ordinary Rank-8, Elite). EXP gained: 80.

n

n

nThis collision force is indeed not something that tiny bull from before can match…”

n

n

nThankfully, I chose a rock instead of a tree. Otherwise, I might have been hit by it!

n

n

nAfter sensing the victory message in his head, Ji Ye jumped down from the deformed granite and looked at the corpse of the adult Bronze Bull on the ground with a look of relief.

n

n

nNearly 70 hours had passed since his second incursion to the Land of Inheritance. If nothing went wrong, he could return to Earth in another two more hours.

n

n

nHowever, just as Ji Ye was about to return to his “cave abode” to prepare to go offline, he unexpectedly bumped into this Bronze Bull that was much larger than the one he killed previously. It was an adult Rank-8 Elite Bronze Bull!

n

n

nAfter seeing him, the bull seemed to have been angered. Its eyes turned red as it chased after him.

n

n

nHowever, Ji Ye had already reached Ordinary Rank-9. His eyesight was only at that standard, so it was somewhat inflated.

n

n

nHowever, superhuman vision was a perfect addition to his current long-range weapon.

n

n

nAfter a series of collisions in the forest, a large number of trees fell to the ground. After that, he successfully killed the red-eyed adult Bronze Bull.

n

n

nAs for why this bull went crazy—based on the situation of the two Golden Condors seeking revenge against the Black Serpent, it was obvious that the monsters in this world also had wisdom and familial ties.

n

n

nThe Bronze Bull was most likely the biological father of the Bronze Bull who he killed a month ago by laying shameless traps and food temptations!

n

n

nAnd the reason why it attacked him crazily the moment it saw him could be because there would be a kind of “Revenge Mark” in the eyes of blood-related monsters after a player killed a monster.

n

n

nOf course, it was also possible that both the Golden Condor and the Bronze Bull came from the same dimension, and the creatures of this dimension all had the ability to sense their enemies who killed their loved ones…

n

n

nJi Ye guessed.

n

n

nHowever, logically speaking, the Bronze Bull was a creature that belonged to the trial region. He should have already “switched” maps.

n

n

nWould such wild monsters switch maps due to the aggro? Or was it because of other reasons…

n

n

nLooking at the Bronze Bull that had been killed by four bolts, Ji Ye pondered over some questions.

n

n

nIt was not entirely because he was bored, but also because he was waiting for the spoils of war to take shape.

n

n

nWhoosh!

n

n

nHaving completely defeated the ferocious Rank-8 Elite creature in a head-on battle, the spoils of war from the adult Bronze Bull naturally would not be watered down like the Golden Condor.

n

n

nWhite light emerged from the creature’s curved and blade-like horns, one from its chunky bum, and one from its sturdy sinew.

n

n

nThree fist-sized grayish-white orbs appeared.

n

n

nObtained: Bull Leather Combat Boots. Five Bulls-branded cigarettes!

n

n

nWhen Ji Ye touched the first two light orbs with his hand, information automatically appeared in his mind.

n

n

nThe boots appeared rather similar to those cowboy boots often seen in western Ameagle movies.

n

n

nThe style was a bit odd on him, but Ji Ye was glad that he could throw away his old footwear—a pair of poor, hand-made straw sandals.

n

n

nIn the second orb, the cigarette pack were Five Bulls-branded cigarettes.

n

n

nIt’s actually a carton of cigarettes…

n

n

nJi Ye wasn’t surprised that items from Earth were dropping, perhaps because he was a player from Earth.

n

n

nHe had lighters and cigarettes, and there were ten packs of Five Bulls-branded cigarettes from the southwestern cities of Chidragon.

n

n

nHowever, if one packet was only worth 2.50 yuan, then it was obviously not as valuable as the previous bottle of cologne he didn’t use at all.

n

n

nMost importantly, Ji Ye did not smoke at all!

n

n

nBut speaking of which, these two things are definitely not useless.

n

n

nAccording to current speculation, the second batch of people who enter the Land of Inheritance should have appeared in a human settlement!

n

n

nWhen the time comes, these things might become rare and valuable, especially these few packs of cigarettes. For some people who need them, these cigarettes might be even more valuable than firearms and weapons!

n

n

nLooking at the item in his hand, the corners of Ji Ye’s lips curled up slightly as a smile that resembled a profiteer appeared on his face.

n

n

nObtained: Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow!

n

n

nCompared to the other two, the item in the third orb surprised him more.

n

n

nHe broke the orb open and revealed a crossbow that looked almost identical to his previous one; it was just a little bigger in size.

n

n

nBronze Bulldozer Crossbow

n

n

nLevel: Ordinary Rank-8

n

n

nRarity: Excellent

n

n

nDescription: Forged out of the best materials scavenged from an adult Bronze Bull, including its unbreakable horns, bones and sturdy sinews.

n

n

nThis one had been dropped by an adult Bronze Bull of a higher level and was clearly the real deal. It had both a higher level and a higher rarity—from Refined to Excellent—compared to the older one which came from a small, Rank-6 calf.

n

n

nThunk!

n

n

nHe fired a test shot against a tree nearby and was thrilled to see how the calf-sized trunk was easily penetrated by the bolt.

n

n

nThat shot was at least 50% more potent than his previous weapon.

n

n

nThe power of this larger Bulldozer Crossbow should be enough to pierce through the Black Serpent’s black scales at a distance of 70 meters.

n

n

nHowever, it’s still not enough. The area around the pool is relatively empty. I need at least a hundred meters to ensure my safety. That way, even if I can’t kill the Black Serpent, I still have time to retreat…

n

n

nFurthermore, with the large Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow, the smaller one is no longer needed…

n

n

nHe held the identical weapons in his hands and suddenly got a new idea.

n

n

nWhat would happen if he used Fusion to combine these two crossbows?

n

n

nThe cooldown timer—in the form of an hourglass—of Fusion already finished on the third day he logged in. Since he had such thoughts, Ji Ye did not waste any time.

n

n

nUsing the Violet Jade Blades, Ji Ye cut off the tender and smooth flesh on the Bronze Bull’s body. Following that, Ji Ye returned to his cave abode.

n

n

n…

n

n

n“Fusion!”

n

n

nAs he called out, the crossbows became two shining orbs and began approaching each other.

n

n

nAbout an hour later, the white orb dispersed after fusing into one.

n

n

nWhat appeared in Ji Ye’s hand was a rather exaggerated-looking bronze Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow that was akin to a ballista installed on ancient war chariots!

n

n

nHeavy Bulldozer Crossbow

n

n

nLevel: Ordinary Rank-9

n

n

nRarity: Superior

n

n

nDescription: A Superior crossbow forged out of two Bronze Bulldozers. Unleashes devastating mid-range to long-range attacks.

n

n

nIt seemed that because both of them were Bronze Bull Crossbows, they automatically gave birth to a name after fusion. The quality of the combined Ordinary Rank-9 and Superior was testament of its power even without any further information!

n

n

nHowever, just like the first fusion, the most important harvest for Ji Ye wasn’t just the Rank-9 heavy crossbow.

n

n

nInstead, after the fusion,

n

n

nHe had received the full knowledge for recreating the heavy crossbow, such as its inner structure, weight and necessary materials.

n

n

nHe was even aware of the crossbow’s internal specs like their center of gravity, the angle of their tips, and how they were affected by the wind when shot.

n

n

nHe knew everything!

n

n

nWhat did this mean?

n

n

nA modern sniper who went through countless aim training sessions

n

n

nmight be able to master everything about his weapon and his bullets in order to make his shots accurate.

n

n

nYet they were unlikely to learn about every single part and component in their gun, how these parts were worn through usage, or how much gunpowder was used in different bullets.

n

n

nBut Ji Ye could!

n

n

nAt this moment, he had the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow.

n

n

nJi Ye even had the feeling that he would dare to shoot a real flood dragon, let alone a Black Serpent with a black flood dragon’s bloodline.

n

n

nOf course, he wasn’t that arrogant. It was just that the fusion of the Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow had indeed boosted his strength greatly.

n

n

nJi Ye’s shooting skills were not bad to begin with.

n

n

nDuring his first trial in the previous month, he had spent a great deal of EXP practicing aim, which ultimately allowed him to learn several clever moves such as landing four bolts on the same spot at close distance. This was enacted when he snapped the Rank-7 Violet Jade Mantis’s neck.

n

n

nThe new weapon undeniably made him better than before.

n

n

nFurthermore, there was another problem that had been solved. It was the Ordinary “Flame Burst Bolt” that had been fused previously. As it was too thick, it could not be fired through the small Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow.

n

n

nBut now, he could completely load it into this larger Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow.

n

n

nFurthermore, he had originally planned to experiment with it, so he had specially installed eight Bronze Bolts before the fusion. Now, all of them had fused together, turning into four large Heavy Bolts!

n

n

nAnd judging from the battle between the Black Serpent and the Golden Condor, the Black Serpent’s scales were no longer enough to defend against such a large Heavy Bulldozer Crossbow and bolts.

n

n

nWelp, it’s about time to log off.

n

n

nThree days had passed. There should be a lot of new information regarding the settlement mission on the forum.
