Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 708 To deal with the white excrement, a militarized hunting strategy must be employed.

Behemoth is treated as an Elder Dragon that disrupts the ecosystem, so defeating it is equivalent to completing the most demanding "Elder Dragon Slaying" part of the main quest.

In fact, the difficulty of defeating the ancient dragon is one aspect, while the scarcity of resources is another.

After all, before Cheng Tian pulled off such a unique move, it would have been almost impossible to get all the players to unite and fight against the ancient dragon.

Players are generally unruly and will not obediently follow orders just because a stranger says a few words to them.

However, once you join the Sun Legion and become colleagues with everyone, the situation changes.

First, it hovered above the space plaza for almost a month, making everyone aware that this thing was more like a semi-official product.

Secondly, there are the tangible benefits of joining the Sun Legion, including time savings, additional mercenaries, and missions of moderate difficulty.

Finally, there are the reputation shop purchase options, which are currently unavailable but extremely tempting, such as... the gene cloning service.

In short, it means mass-producing the "juvenile breeding tank". When your reputation is high enough, you can buy this special resurrection item that can be used by players, minions, and pet units.

However, it still comes at the cost of losing all equipment and items in the death instance, and reverting the data such as physical attributes and skills to the period when gene cloning backup was performed.

These elements combined make it quite appealing to players.

Cheng Tian never talks about ideals or makes empty promises to anyone. What he offers are tangible benefits and the hope that with effort, progress can be made. And as long as the benefits are sufficient, the players, or rather the market itself, will provide the answer.

At this point, apart from the unfortunate soul who died in the nuclear explosion and those players with special ideas who insisted on not joining the Order of Balance or the Legion of the Sun, all players in the current instance have completed the main quest and gained similar free exploration time as Cheng Tian.

However, unlike Cheng Tian's stay which lasted until the end of the month, other players who had completed the main quest needed to extend their stay by doing guild commission quests.

It's probably that each time a boss unit is defeated, the time is extended by 12 hours. The weaker the target, the less time is given.

If you're a more conservative player who values ​​your life, you might as well quit now.

With more opportunities to increase faction reputation and improve main storyline rating, and with such a special and reliable faction to rely on, anyone with a bit of ambition and adventurous spirit would choose to stay in the dungeon until the very end.

Back to Cheng Tian's side.

Cheng did not open the treasure chest immediately. Instead, he put the chest into the Gate of Babylon and looked to the other side, where three figures were entangled.

The golden lion, which had been whining on the ground, got up and ran away while Cheng Tian was fusing with Bear Grylls' bloodline, which, as expected, triggered the big cat's hunting instinct.

Despite releasing a nuclear explosion, the Flame Cat couple, who weren't particularly hungry, were simply triggered by the "something is running" event, which spurred their underlying code to "something is running, so I have to chase it," leading them to give chase.

The couple left behind a trail of melting and refreezing, making it easy to spot even if you can't fly.

On the contrary, the Ice Fang Dragon, whose tail was already cooked but which was still crying mournfully at the Frost Cave, was temporarily ignored.

"You go ahead, I'll take care of this monster."

As the wind element brushed against Cheng Tian's head, Eileen returned to human form and casually draped a cloak over her shoulders. It was a hooded cloak almost entirely woven from leaves, large enough to completely cover the body, and it also had a formal name: "Invisibility Cloak".

Of course, this thing doesn't actually make you invisible; it's more like blending your body into the natural environment to avoid being detected by monsters, and it's especially effective against wild animals.

While Cheng Tian was working hard to build the Blazing Sun, Eileen was not idle either. While harassing Behemoth, she was also diligently collecting special items and props from this world, and through the Grand Master's connections, she sought comprehensive advice and learning from some veteran hunters who were proficient in using crossbows.

Now is the time for her to test the results of her learning.

When he saw Eileen use the invisibility cloak and pull out the guild-issued pitfall trap and Mega Bomb G, he roughly knew what this girl was up to.

To deal with a dung monster, you need to use even dungier methods. It seems that this half-elf archer has already grasped the essence of the "hunter".

So after giving Eileen an "OK" sign, Cheng Tian chased after the Golden Lion in the direction it had fled.

As Cheng Tian left, Eileen glided swiftly to the vicinity of the Barioth Dragon, barely touching the ground. After observing the surrounding environment and the Barioth Dragon's movements, she began to set up explosive bombs and pitfall traps in a grand manner under the cover of her cloaking suit.

He then pulled out a heavy crossbow called the "Bone Launcher Type 3," which was made by reinforcing tough bones.

Due to a lack of higher-grade materials, this is currently the only type of heavy crossbow available. However, thanks to the player's unique abilities, Eileen can carry an amount of ammunition in her inventory that exceeds the original Monster Hunter limits.

Proliferation rounds, load!

Soul Owl, summon!

"Go~"

This time, Eileen only gave instructions without physically synchronizing with the owl, whose intelligence had improved, and the owl was also able to execute simple task instructions.

With a moderate explosion, the mournful Barioth was thrown off balance, the pain in its neck becoming quite noticeable.

Almost instinctively, the Barioth leaped powerfully towards the direction where its neck would be blown.

As a flying wyvern, Barioth's leaping attack has a considerable range... but this leap landed perfectly on a pitfall trap!

As leaves and falling snow swirled in, most of the Barioth's body was instantly trapped in the spiderweb-like rope pit, and it began to struggle frantically.

Meanwhile, Eileen had already set up the Bone Launcher and, following a pre-defined parabolic trajectory, began to pull the trigger repeatedly.

One after another, the spread projectiles flew in arcs to their highest point, and exploded the moment they hit the Barioth's back, breaking into more explosives and simultaneously detonating the Mega Bomb G!

This purely military-style hunting, so different from primitive hunting, sent Eileen's adrenaline soaring wildly!

Although it might seem a bit contrary to the World Tree... this militarized hunting is truly enjoyable!

Hearing the continuous explosions behind him, Cheng Tian had already arrived near the Golden Lion.
