Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

Rock Beast, a creature similar to a leopard.

Because they have lived in dark caves for many years, their eyes have long since degenerated and they have no vision, but their hearing is excellent and they have a good skill in stealth.

They usually cover their bodies with mud and pretend to be rocks next to minerals, waiting for prey to come to them.

When a mythical beast like the Darkclaw Mole discovers a mineral and is about to feast on it, the Rock Beast will jump out and swallow the Darkclaw Mole whole.

Let the Dark Claw Moles experience the extreme contrast between hunter and prey, heaven and hell.

As it turned out, Lü Xiu's caution was very necessary.

If he had gone straight to open the treasure chest, he would be the prey of the rock beast now.

However, now that Lü Xiu has discovered the Rock Beast, its stealth and concealment techniques are meaningless.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It was his turn to let the rock beast experience the extreme contrast between hunter and prey, between heaven and hell.

Lu Xiu strode toward the rock beast, gripping the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

0.5 seconds of charging.

"Instant Slash!"

The sharp blade slashed through the air, creating a whistling gust of wind, and struck the mud on the rock beast's body, which was used for concealment and had negligible defensive capabilities.

"Boom!"

The blade sliced ​​through the soil, penetrated deep into flesh, and struck the rock beast's bones.

The sudden pain made the rock beast leap up almost instantly, turning its head to pounce and bite in the direction from which the pain was coming.

But as soon as the rock beast turned its head, Lü Xiu's left hand was already aimed at it.

"Shadow Ray"

In his palm, a swirling, dark mist churned and coalesced into a vortex, from which a dark, eerie light burst forth, shooting towards the rock beast's head.

"Thump!"

The dark, eerie light pierced straight through the rock beast's head, breaking through its skull and splattering out a pile of brain matter.

Upon landing, the rock beast showed no signs of life.

[Defeat a level 15 Rock Beast to gain 650 experience points; defeating a higher-level beast grants a 100% experience bonus.]

Lü Xiu fully demonstrated his first-mover advantage.

The rock beast's reaction was exactly as he had expected.

Glancing at the rock beast on the ground, Lü Xiu didn't throw it into his spatial backpack. The beast's meat wasn't tasty, and its control over earth element was very rudimentary; there wasn't a single valuable part of it.

Let's leave it for other mythical beasts.

Lu Xiu turned around and opened the bronze treasure chest.

There weren't many items in the bronze treasure chest, just two.

Two palm-sized, tan-colored plaques, but with different patterns on them, indicating they are two different props.

Land Exchange Order

Grade: Treasure

Effect: After use, you will burrow underground and reappear on the ground within a 100-meter radius after 3 seconds.

Uses: 3/3 (Recovers 1 use per calendar day)

Description: The character "兑" (duì) also means "swamp," signifying containment and gathering. It is a strange token that allows the holder to be temporarily embraced by the earth and freely escape into the soil.

...

Earth Spike

Grade: Excellent

Effect: When used, it creates a trigger trap on the ground. When stepped on by any target, a rock spike will emerge, dealing Geo DMG equal to 1x the user's all elements.

Number of uses: 3/3

Description: The "Spiked Trap" is compressed and injected into the command mark, allowing it to be deployed instantly when needed.

"There's a rare item!" Lu Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

The treasure-level "Earth Exchange Token" is a rechargeable "Earth Escape" item that can be used multiple times.

A superior-grade Spike Trap is a tool that can set up three spike traps.

"Life-saving measure +1" Lu Xiu unceremoniously hung the Earth Exchange Token from the treasure chest on his waist and put it in his spatial backpack. It was too slow to take it out specifically when he needed to use it.

It can be hung directly on the waist and used at any time.

As for the "ground spike talisman"...

To be honest, Lü Xiu wanted to study its trap compression techniques.

If one could master this technique, one could instantly set up numerous complex traps. This would undoubtedly multiply one's combat power.

However, actually figuring it out is probably not that simple.

Judging from the surface of the ground spike talisman, this item seems to contain some array formation techniques.

If you want to research the trap compression technique, you must first go back and learn the "Array Formation" skill.

This is a bit of a problem. There are no formation masters in a small place like Tianqing Town, let alone where to learn formation skills.

More on that later.

Lu Xiu put the Earth Spike Talisman into his spatial backpack.

After the rewards in the bronze treasure chest were all looted, it quickly turned into points of light and merged into Lü Xiu's body.

[Hint: Opening the Bronze Treasure Chest activates the Treasure Hunter talent, permanently boosting all attributes by 3%]

Lu Xiu recorded the 3% increase in efficiency.

He has opened three different quality chests so far: Iron, Platinum, and Bronze.

Iron provides 2%, bronze provides 3%, and platinum provides 20%.

In total, that's a 25% attribute bonus.

Very high attribute bonus.

Lu Xiu's current interface is quite impressive.

Even without any equipment, the overall attribute is over 30 points.

For an ordinary hunter to have such stats, without wearing any other equipment like Lü Xiu, they would need to be at least level 20.

However, Lü Xiu still has 6 free attribute points left to allocate.
